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

Just as Bai Ze and Mu Wanqing were kissing and cuddling in the forest, Duan Yu asked Zhong Ling's mother, Gan Baobao, to go and rescue Zhong Ling, which angered the Valley Master, Zhong Wanchou.

Gan Baobao asked Duan Yu to give Zhong Ling's birth date and time to her father, Duan Zhengchun, so that Duan Zhengchun could rescue Zhong Ling. She also instructed Duan Yu to borrow a horse from Mu Wanqing.

After leaving the valley, Duan Yu arrived at the place Gan Baobao had guided him to, only to find it deserted. Just as he was anxiously trying to figure out how to return to Dali to ask his father for help, Duan Yu was captured again by Zuo Zimu, who had come up the mountain, and taken back to Wuliang Palace.

While imprisoned, Duan Yu remembered the scrolls of the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Lingbo Steps in his arms, and immediately began to practice the Lingbo Steps in an attempt to escape.

By chance, Duan Yu mastered the first few moves of the "Northern Darkness Divine Skill" and all of the "Lingbo Steps." He then escaped from the Wuliang Sword Sect while the guards of Wuliang Palace were delivering food.

Along the way, they saw Zhong Ling's Lightning Sable, but unexpectedly, they were poisoned and unable to move. They then accidentally ate the Manggu Toad, which not only cured them of the Seven-Day Intestinal Severing Powder, but also made them immune to all poisons from then on.

 …

Instead, Bai Ze brought Mu Wanqing and the other women to the Wuliang Sword Sect, demanding to see the Palace Master Zuo Zimu. He claimed that he had a cure for the Lightning Sable's poison in exchange for the Wuliang Sword Sect releasing Zhong Ling.

Zuo Zimu was skeptical, but he met with Bai Ze and the others. Bai Ze casually used the World Instrument to cure everyone of the Lightning Sable poison, and also talked with Zuo Zimu about the Boundless Jade Wall that their sword sect had always believed in.

He told the people who had lived in the mountains before that they were his master, Wuyazi, from the Xiaoyao Sect, and that the sword shadows and jade walls they had seen before were just projections of his master and mistress practicing swordsmanship.

Zuo Zimu was stunned upon hearing Bai Ze's words. He never expected that the Immortal Sword Technique he had been pursuing was something that a master from another sect had practiced casually during his seclusion. He was immediately astonished.

It's important to know that in ancient times, without a master, if someone secretly learned martial arts from another school, some ruthless sects would kill the person who stole their skills.

Just as Zuo Zimu was at a loss for what to do, he heard Bai Ze say:

"However, everything is fine now. You have already joined the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace. The Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Tonglao, is the second-generation eldest disciple of my Xiaoyao Sect. You are now considered one of our own, so there is no need to panic."

Zuo Zimu suddenly realized how right it was to have entertained the two Lingjiu Saint Envoys. Now he had found a powerful backer. He never expected that the renowned Palace Master of Tianshan Lingjiu Palace was a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. Just how powerful must the Xiaoyao Sect be!

Unfortunately, to Zuo Zimu's surprise, the Xiaoyao Sect now only has a handful of big shots. Not counting the disciples of Tianshan Lingjiu Palace and Su Xinghe's deaf-mute sect, the Xiaoyao Sect only has 4 people in total!

With Zhong Ling's matter resolved, Zuo Zimu respectfully led his disciples to escort Bai Ze and the women away from the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Zhong Ling looked at the white-haired man who had saved her, still confused, and said:

"Thank you for rescuing me from Wuliang Palace. May I ask you to come back to Wanjie Valley with me? My father is the Valley Master of Wanjie Valley, and I will make him thank you!"

Bai Ze looked at the lively Zhong Ling, smiled and nodded, agreeing to the little girl's request. Bai Ze remembered that Crane and Crocodile, two of the Four Evils, were in Wanjie Valley. This time, he could take care of these two villains and increase his reputation for the mission.

 …

On the way to Wanjie Valley with Zhong Ling, Bai Ze encountered Zhu Danchen and Ba Tianshi, two retainers who had escaped from Wuliang Sword Sect.

Duan Yu then told the two about Zhong Ling, and the two took Duan Yu back to the Wuliang Sword Sect to rescue Zhong Ling. Unexpectedly, they encountered the South Sea Crocodile God on the way, who was there to carry out an assassination mission. When the South Sea Crocodile God saw Duan Yu and the others talking about their father Duan Zhengchun, he knew that the one in white among the three was Duan Zhengchun's son.

He planned to use Duan Yu to lure Duan Zhengchun into a trap, then kill Duan Zhengchun. He then rushed forward and fought with Zhu Danchen and Ba Tianshi.

Duan Yu was frantic as he watched the South Sea Crocodile God fight two opponents at once. He accidentally triggered the Northern Darkness Divine Art, which sucked the two retainers and the South Sea Crocodile God together. In no time, Duan Yu had drained all three of their true energy.

Duan Yu had never experienced so much internal energy before. His face turned red and his neck bulged. Although Zhu Danchen and Ba Tianshi were already unable to stand due to the draining energy, they were still concerned about the safety of their young master. Before they could finish off the South Sea Crocodile God, the two of them helped the red-faced and bulging Duan Yu leave the place.

 …

Bai Ze brought Zhong Ling back to Wanjie Valley. Gan Baobao, who was anxious, and Zhong Wanchou, who had been stabbed by his wife, were astonished. When they saw that it was not Duan Zhengchun and his group who brought Zhong Ling back, but a white-haired man, Gan Baobao quickly thanked him.

Zhong Ling looked at her father's injured leg, tears welling up in her eyes, and said:

"Father, how did you get hurt? What happened?"

Zhong Wanchou didn't want to talk to the child about adult matters, so he said:

"It's all because of you, you brat!" He even reached out and pinched Zhong Ling's nose.

Zhong Wanchou looked at Bai Ze and said:

"Thank you so much, Young Master Bai, for saving my daughter. We don't know how to thank you enough. Please rest in the valley for two days so that my wife and I can host a banquet to express our gratitude!"

Bai Ze nodded, clasped his hands in return, and said:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Master Zhong. We will be staying here for a few days."

Yun Zhonghe and the Crocodile God of the South Sea had not yet arrived, so Bai Ze naturally had to wait in the valley for a few more days. What Bai Ze did not expect was that the Crocodile God of the South Sea had already had his inner strength drained by Duan Yu and was now hiding in a secluded place to recuperate.

Over the next few days, Bai Ze and the women enjoyed themselves in Wanjie Valley. Zhong Wanchou also warmly entertained Bai Ze, and the southern delicacies and fruits made Bai Ze and the women very comfortable.

A few days later, Xiaomeng said that Yaleijia saw the man I described as tall and thin, dressed in blue, and holding an iron claw and steel staff not far from Wanjie Valley. Bai Ze knew that Yun Zhonghe had arrived, but he didn't think much about why he hadn't seen the South Sea Crocodile God. Perhaps the two of them didn't come together.

Bai Ze then bid farewell to Valley Master Zhong Wanchou and prepared to leave Wanjie Valley with the girls. Zhong Ling, who had finally managed to have several friends her own age to play with, pouted and said upon hearing that we were leaving:

"Brother Bai Ze, are you really leaving? Can you stay a few more days? I want to play with Sister Xiao Meng and Celine. I haven't even mastered the boxing techniques that Sister Tifa taught me yet!"

Bai Ze patted Zhong Ling's little head and said:

"All good things must come to an end. When we've traveled the world, we'll come back to visit you!"

Zhong Ling pouted, hugged Bai Ze, and said:

"Okay, then you all must remember to come back and see me! I'll miss you!"

Seeing his beloved girlfriend embracing another man, Zhong Wanchou felt as if his girlfriend was about to be exposed to the elements. He quickly stepped forward, coughed twice, and said:

"Then I wish Brother Bai Ze a safe journey, and hope you'll visit Wanjie Valley often when you have time!"

Zhong Ling then remembered that her father was still behind her. She was so embarrassed that she let go of Bai Ze and ran behind Zhong Wanchou, burying her head in her father's back.

Looking at the adorable Zhong Ling and feeling Mu Wanqing swaying her waist, Bai Ze smiled and said to Zhong Wanchou:

"Thank you for your hospitality these past few days, Valley Master Zhong. We'll meet again someday!"

Zhong Wanchou smiled and cupped his hands in farewell as Bai Ze led the women out of the valley toward Yun Zhonghe's direction.

Bai Ze knew that Yun Zhonghe was skilled in lightness skills, and this time he could finally let Xiao Meng show off her abilities. If the crane tried to run away, he would just use his skill to blow Yun Zhonghe's legs off, and then see how the crane could fly!

Bai Ze and his group soon arrived at the roadside teahouse where Yun Zhonghe was resting. Yun Zhonghe was extremely lecherous, and seeing so many beautiful women of all shapes and sizes in front of him, he couldn't resist. He drank his tea and observed Bai Ze and his group.

Seeing that Bai Ze's group consisted of only one man, and judging from his physique, he didn't seem to be a particularly strong or powerful figure, Yun Zhonghe decided to wait until Bai Ze's group had rested and left before following them, killing Bai Ze, and then committing his lewd acts.

Seeing that Yun Zhonghe had taken the bait, Bai Ze couldn't take his eyes off the women. He pretended to be a playboy with his maids, then pulled Mu Wanqing over and sat her down with his arms around her waist. Yun Zhonghe's eyes were wide open; he had never enjoyed such a beauty before.

Bai Ze looked at the tea stall owner and said:

"Boss, tea, please! This journey has been exhausting. I wish I hadn't traveled so far for fun!"

As he spoke, he winked at Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing understood what Bai Ze meant. She glanced at Yun Zhonghe, who couldn't hide his thoughts even while holding a teacup, and knew that her man wanted to teach the bad guys a lesson. So she started acting along with him.

Mu Wanqing feigned shyness and said:

"It's all because you heard that Wuliang Mountain has beautiful scenery and wanted to visit. Otherwise, why would we have come all this way!"

Seeing that Mu Wanqing understood what he meant, Bai Ze chuckled and said:

"Come out and have some fun~ Isn't the scenery here beautiful?"

Hearing Mu Wanqing's melodious voice, Yun Zhonghe could no longer contain himself. He was so anxious that he wanted to take action right there in front of everyone.

After Bai Ze and the women finished drinking tea, they left the tea stall to catch the crane. Yun Zhonghe naturally got up immediately and followed Bai Ze and his group.

Bai Ze and the women rode away. Yun Zhonghe, with his superb lightness skill, leaped a few steps and caught up with Bai Ze and the women's cavalry. Without saying a word, he attacked Bai Ze.

Hearing the sharp sound behind him, Bai Ze drew his sword to block Yun Zhonghe's attack, then sat cross-legged on his horse and said:

"As expected of Yun Zhonghe, the 'most vicious' of the Four Evils, you are incredibly audacious and decisive in your actions. You are the first person I have ever encountered who is so brave!"

"Hehe~ Now that you know my name, why don't you hurry up and hand these beauties over to me? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life~"

Only then did Mu Wanqing realize that this person was Yun Zhonghe. Seeing his lecherous gaze sweeping over her own people, Mu Wanqing angrily drew her dagger, ready to attack. Bai Ze quickly stopped her, saying:

"With the men in the family here, you don't need to make a move. Yun Zhonghe's infamy wasn't built on just his middle leg. If you can't handle him, let me handle it!"

Hearing Bai Ze's nonsense, Mu Wanqing realized that Bai Ze knew she was no match for Yun Zhonghe. It was also the first time she had been cared for by a man, so she immediately relaxed and hummed in agreement.

Bai Ze then raised his sword and said to Yun Zhonghe:

"Today, I'll test your mettle, you little bird!"

"Fighting while spouting nonsense," Bai Ze's words made the girls roll their eyes.

Seeing that Bai Ze remained calm and composed even after knowing his background, Yun Zhonghe became more cautious. Even if he couldn't beat him, he knew that no one could catch up with him thanks to his lightness skill.

Immediately, Yun Zhonghe stepped forward and engaged Bai Ze, who had dismounted, in combat. Upon first contact, Yun Zhonghe sensed that Bai Ze's moves were faster and stronger than his own, and his lightness skill and footwork were not far behind.

Yun Zhonghe unleashed his signature Crane-Snake Eight Strikes technique, fiercely attacking Bai Ze's vitals, but Bai Ze always managed to dodge with his unpredictable movements. Yun Zhonghe grew increasingly panicked and gradually found himself unable to withstand the onslaught. At this moment…

"Hey~ isn't this the fourth brother? Why aren't you bullying the beauties? Instead, you're fighting with a handsome man!"

Bai Ze looked up and saw that the person who came was Ye Erniang, one of the Four Evils, known for her "wickedness". The six bloody marks on her face added an unusual beauty to her pretty face, making her look extremely evil.

Ye Erniang was holding a crying baby in her arms. When she saw Bai Ze and Yun Zhonghe stop fighting, she began to comfort the child in her arms like a loving mother. At this moment, a group of people came from behind, and the leader was Zuo Zimu from the Wuliang Sword Sect.
