With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

After Bai Ze's master Wu Yazi went north, he calculated the time and realized that the new year would be the start of the story. If he traveled west and arrived at Wuliang Mountain, he should be able to meet Duan Yu.

Bai Ze instructed Su Xinghe and his disciples to guard the valley and wait for their master and uncle to return, while he led the women out of the valley and headed west.

This time, Bai Ze did not summon the three dragons to travel. Instead, he rode a horse and drove a carriage southwest, intending to practice his skills against the bandits he couldn't keep in mind along the way.

Bai Ze thought that even if he didn't stop Duan Yu from falling into Langhuan Cave and obtaining the Beiming Divine Skill and Lingbo Steps, as long as Duan Yu learned the Xiaoyao Sect's kung fu, Duan Yu would owe him a favor.

The incomplete Northern Darkness Divine Art that Duan Yu learned is extremely difficult to control; it will absorb internal energy indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe. If we help Duan Yu solve this problem and then help the Dali Duan family drive away Kumārajīva, we can then discuss the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

So Bai Ze wasn't in a hurry to find Duan Yu at all. He took the women sightseeing along the way, and spent his nights practicing the Lesser Formless Skill with them. He was having a wonderful time!

 …

Four months later, Bai Ze, who had been traveling, finally arrived at Yizhou City near Wuliang Mountain with the women. To get to Wuliang Mountain, they had to cross the Song border and enter the Dali Kingdom, so Bai Ze was not in a hurry.

He planned to wait for news from Dali that Duan Yu, the heir of the Prince of Zhennan, had run away from home before entering Wuliang Mountain. He then had Xiao Meng release Ya Lei Jia to search for the locations of Wuliang Sword Sect and Wanjie Valley.

As soon as you see the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Shennong Gang fighting, come back and report. Then you can follow Duan Yu back to Langhuan Paradise. After Duan Yu leaves, you can pack up the items in the cave.

Xiaomeng released Yalejia under the cover of night, and then fought with Bai Ze. The battle was fierce. The weather in the south was hot and humid, and the two of them were covered in sweat. After feeling refreshed, they wiped each other clean and washed up before going to sleep.

A few days later, Xiao Meng received a message from Ya Lei Jia that the locations of Wuliang Sword Sect and Wanjie Valley had been found. Immediately afterwards, Bai Ze led the women away from Yizhou City and headed towards Wuliang Mountain.

 …

Duan Yu was born in the Dali Kingdom and was influenced by Buddhist thought from a young age. His father, Duan Zhengchun, hoped that he could learn martial arts to protect the country, but Duan Yu felt very disgusted by this.

He leaned more towards Confucian benevolence and Buddhist compassion. Being suddenly required to practice martial arts and engage in combat contradicted his childhood Buddhist education, so he vehemently opposed it and debated with his father for three days straight. Ultimately, in a fit of anger, he ran away from home.

Duan Yu, who had run away from home, was traveling around enjoying the scenery and never thought about what he would eat or drink. When he was thirsty, he went to a mountain stream to drink water and accidentally heard the sounds of fighting on the mountain. He then stumbled into the battle between the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Shennong Gang.

The carefree Duan Yu stepped forward to stop them but was captured. Zhong Ling released the Lightning Sable to save people but was discovered and was also captured. Zuo Zimu of the Wuliang Sword Sect gave Duan Yu the Seven-Day Intestinal Severing Powder and told Duan Yu to go to Wanjie Valley to explain the situation to Zhong Ling's father and get the antidote for the Lightning Sable in exchange for people.

Duan Yu, blessed with good fortune, accidentally fell into Langhuan Paradise while searching for Wanjie Valley. There, he discovered a statue of Li Canghai carved by Wu Yazi. After kowtowing to the fairy sister and breaking the cushion, he obtained the secret manual.

Duan Yu, who had only glanced at the first few diagrams of the Beiming Divine Skill, had unintentionally learned it. However, he had not fully mastered all 36 diagrams, which left a hidden danger for him later on, as he could only absorb the energy but not control it.

Bai Ze and the women had already arrived near the Wuliang Sword Sect, waiting for the simple-minded Duan Yu to discover the Langhuan Blessed Land. After Duan Yu stumbled away from the blessed land, Bai Ze led the women through the entrance into the Langhuan Blessed Land.

As you walk further in, dust is everywhere, many bedding and soft furs have a musty smell, and some tables and chairs have been gnawed by insects and rats and are lying on the ground. It seems that they have been abandoned by Master Wuyazi for a long time.

Walking along the path, they came to a circular stone chamber. One wall was bright and translucent, obviously made of natural crystal. While the girls were still wondering, they saw fish and shrimp swimming outside the crystal, which amazed them.

At this moment, Tifa said:

"Aze, your master is truly amazing! He built such a magical cave dwelling so that he could live in seclusion with his wife and enjoy life!"

Bai Ze said with a smile:

"That's right, otherwise where do you think Senior Brother Su Xinghe and the 'Eight Friends of Hangu' got their knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, architecture, and medicine?"

Bai Ze touched the translucent crystal wall and said:

"It's clear that a great deal of effort was put into building this cave. The placement of the crystal is perfect for reflecting the sunlight from the water's surface, preventing the interior from feeling dark. This design is truly ingenious!"

The women nodded in agreement, praising Master Wuyazi for his prowess. Bai Ze looked around the cave and saw that the tables and walls were covered with bronze mirrors. It seemed that his master's wife, Li Qiushui, was indeed quite fond of beauty.

After visiting the Crystal Cave, Bai Ze led the women to a small chamber where Li Canghai's statue and the secret manual Duan Yu had obtained were placed. There, a white jade statue holding a sword and with its robes fluttering was placed in the cave.

The women were all captivated by the beauty of the jade statue. Celine, gazing at it, couldn't help but exclaim:

"So beautiful! If the jade statue is this beautiful, I wonder what the real person would look like!"

Bai Ze also looked at Li Canghai's statue. No wonder Master Wuyazi, that womanizer, was so obsessed with the jade statue and ignored his wife Li Qiushui. But judging from Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan's appearances, his wife Li Qiushui shouldn't be too bad either.

The blame lies with the master for not being able to manage both aspects effectively, which led to the disintegration of the previous generation of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Bai Ze shook his head and said to the girls:

"Alright, we've finished admiring everything. Let's pack up and take what we can, along with the martial arts manuals left on the shelves. Goodbye!"

"Oh~ okay~"

"Hey! I want to play a little longer and see the fish outside the crystal wall!"

Celine hadn't had enough fun yet, but Bai Ze wasn't going to indulge him. He gave Celine a sharp tap on the forehead and said:

"You can't get so caught up in playing that you forget everything else; there's still so much to do outside!"

Bai Ze hadn't forgotten about Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, so he put the jade statue into his backpack. The women also cleaned up and put away the usable and intact items in the cave.

Bai Ze led the women away from Langhuan Paradise, closed the stone gate of the paradise, moved a large stone to block the entrance in front of the outer stone cave, asked Xiao Mengya, Lei Jia, and Duan Yu for their locations, and headed towards the small house where Mu Wanqing lived.

The only way to abduct Mu Wanqing is to target her master, who is also her mother. Duan Zhengchun's romantic entanglements can only be resolved by gathering all the women's mothers together.

Following the road towards Wanjie Valley, it was easy to find Mu Wanqing's hut.

Mu Wanqing followed her master's (her mother "Shura Blade" Qin Hongmian) orders to assassinate her rival, Madam Wang Li Qingluo, but failed. Li Qingluo's men had already found Mu Wanqing's residence and were preparing to besiege her when I arrived with several women.

Seeing a group of little karami surrounding Mu Wanqing's wooden house, Bai Ze rode forward and said:

"A group of people bullying a little girl? There's no such thing as that in the martial arts world!"

The leading woman looked at the person she was about to capture, then at Bai Ze on horseback, and said:

"I don't know where you're from, sir. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

When Bai Ze led the women westward and southward, they encountered a group of bandits who were not careful. The small group of less than 10 people was easily defeated by Bai Ze using the Lingbo Weibu sword technique.

Aside from Celine cheering "You're amazing, sir!", the other four girls all saw Bai Ze's pouting and uncomfortable expression. Clearly, Bai Ze was quite disappointed that he hadn't had enough fun fighting. Why didn't someone more powerful come and rob him so he could have some fun?

Now that this group of people is a good opportunity for Bai Ze to continue playing around, Bai Ze said, slapping his horse's back, drawing his sword, and flying over, shouting:

"I'll help those in need when I see injustice—play with me first, then we'll see!"

The woman in the lead was furious and said:

"Then let's deal with you, you little white-haired brat, first, then grab that little bitch and take her back for the reward! Get her!"

Bai Ze was surrounded by his subordinates who began to slash and hack at him with their swords. Bai Ze used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge the attacks with clever angles and unpredictable movements. While dodging the attacks, he could also continuously stab and slash at the people who were attacking him with his sword.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the people the woman brought were knocked to the ground by Bai Ze, but he did not take their lives.

Bai Ze drew his sword and approached the leading woman. The woman took two steps back in fear and said:

"Who exactly are you? What's your relationship with this little bitch? What do you want?"

Bai Ze looked at the woman and said:

"You must be Li Qingluo, the Lady of Mantuo Manor, working for her. You don't need to know my identity. Give this mirror to Lady Wang and tell her that the current leader of the Xiaoyao Sect will be visiting her at Mantuo Manor. Ask her to wait for you."

Li Qingluo lived in Langhuan Paradise with Li Qiushui and Wuyazi for a period of time when she was young. Seeing the mirror in this paradise and the name of the Xiaoyao Sect, she should understand what it means. Bai Ze is still waiting to take Wang Yuyan as his concubine!

Although by seniority, Li Qingluo, the daughter of Master Wuyazi, is of the same generation as Bai Ze, and Wang Yuyan is Bai Ze's junior, who cares about the fairy sister's beauty! She must be accepted!

Upon hearing that this man knew her wife's name and mentioned a sect she didn't recognize, the leading woman feared her wife had some connection to it. She took the mirror and called out to her groaning subordinates on the ground:

"Those who aren't dead, get up! Let's go!"

Without caring how many people were still able to stand up and follow him, he turned around and strode away in the direction he had come from.

After dismissing the messenger, Bai Ze arrived at Mu Wanqing's door, cupped his hands, and said:

"The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect requests that Miss Mu come out to meet us!"

A woman, her alluring figure barely concealed by her black attire, stepped out of the room, bringing with her a fragrant scent. A soft, melodious voice then spoke:

"When did I ask for your help, young master? These rabble are no match for me. However, I do thank you for resolving this trouble for me. May I ask where you heard of my name? I will thank you again when we meet again in the martial world!"

With that, she mounted her Black Rose and turned to leave. Mu Wanqing remembered her master's teachings: no man in the world is trustworthy, so she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Bai Ze felt a little awkward watching Mu Wanqing leave after only exchanging a few words.

Tifa walked over with a grin, put her arm around Bai Ze's shoulder, and looked at the rooted Bai Ze, saying:

"Haha~ You failed, didn't you! Big Radish, just give up! Do you think everyone can be a hero and win the heart of a beauty? Look at this girl, she's a free spirit, she won't fall for your tricks!"

I was thinking of talking to Mu Wanqing about her parents, but she left before I could even say anything. No, I have to catch up with her!

Bai Ze turned to look at Tifa and said to her:

If I can't win her over, I'll win you over tonight!

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Tifa's butt, making Tifa blush and cover her slapped bottom as she quickly retreated to Raphael's side. She shook her head and put her hands together, begging for mercy. No, no, she wasn't ready to be close to Bai Ze yet.

"Hmph~ A good woman can't resist a man's persistence, I don't believe it~ Let's go, follow them, there's still a good show to watch at the Wuliang Sword Sect!"

As he spoke, Bai Ze rode off in the direction Mu Wanqing had gone, and the other women shook their heads, mounted their horses, and followed.

After walking for a short while, they heard the sound of swords clashing ahead again. Bai Ze quickly spurred his horse forward and saw Mu Wanqing, who had left earlier, fighting with two masked women dressed in the same style of clothing.

Bai Ze suddenly remembered that in the drama, there were two Lingjiu Saint Envoys who were going to Shennong Gang and Wuliang Sword Sect to deliver a message. Wu Xingyun wanted to bring back the Wuliang Jade Wall from Langhuan Paradise, where his junior brother Wuyazi had stayed, to Tianshan Lingjiu Palace, and also wanted to take over the Wuliang Sword Sect for his own use.

Bai Ze rushed forward to stop the fight. This time, without Duan Yu by her side to distract her, Mu Wanqing fought fiercely with the two Lingjiu Saint Envoys, and had already suffered several injuries.
