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

In the morning, Celine ran to Bai Ze's room to wake him up, but found that Bai Ze was not in her room. She pouted and knew that her master must have gone to another sister's room again. She then started to wake up each of her sisters in one room.

Celine found her master in Raphael's room, but she was surprised to find Tifa there as well. She blushed and woke up her two sisters, while Bai Ze remained in bed, whimpering.

Celine stepped forward, pinched Bai Ze's nose, and said:

"Master is a lazy pig, just like the pigs raised by those uncles under Grandpa Su Xinghe. Hehehe, get up quickly!"

Bai Ze was finally woken up by Celine amidst Raphael and Tifa's laughter. After washing up, the group had breakfast in the dining hall. Bai Ze also went to pay his respects to his master, mistress, and uncle. Then everyone relaxed again.

In the afternoon, Bai Ze was practicing the special 'White Rainbow Palm Force' with his lovely junior disciple Wang Yuyan. Since the Murong family father and son were both dead, and he couldn't get his hands on the Murong family's 'Star Shift' technique, and Yuyan's special 'White Rainbow Palm Force' was also quite good, Bai Ze wanted to practice it more.

At this moment, Qiao Feng arrived. Bai Ze, seeing his elder brother Qiao walking towards them, stopped and said:

"Brother, did you come to see me because you need something?"

Qiao Feng walked up with a smile, first nodding to Yu Yan. After Qiao Feng and A Zhu got together, he was considered the brother-in-law of the Duan family's daughters. Seeing that her brother-in-law had something to discuss with her junior uncle, Yu Yan bowed and left to play with her sisters who were not far away.

Qiao Feng looked at Bai Ze and said:

“Good brother, my Xiao family has avenged our great grudge, and my father’s health has also recovered under your miraculous medicine and the treatment of the divine physician Xue Muhua. I have nothing to repay you with.”

"When we sparred before, I noticed you showed some interest in the Dragon Subduing Palm technique, so I'll pass on the complete set to you. It's a way of preserving the martial arts of the Beggars' Sect of the Song Dynasty. I hope that when the Beggars' Sect has outstanding disciples in the future, you can teach them the Dragon Subduing Palm."

Bai Ze hadn't been thinking of asking his elder brother for the Dragon Subduing Palm technique, so now he was free of worry. Bai Ze quickly said:

"Brother, you're too kind. Thank you for teaching me the Dragon Subduing Palm. I will pay more attention to the famous disciples of the Beggar Clan in the future. If I find someone of excellent character, I will pass on the Dragon Subduing Palm to him!"

"Hahaha~ Good brother, it's settled then. Although your uncle Xiao and I have avenged our great enemy, our Khitan identity will still be despised by the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty. So I'm thinking that after I pass on the Dragon Subduing Palm to you, I will leave the Song Dynasty with my father and A'Zhu."

Qiao Feng revealed the ultimate purpose of his visit to his good brother: living under someone else's roof was not a good thing. Although Leigu Mountain was peaceful and quiet, Qiao Feng still did not want to bring unnecessary trouble to his brother in the future.

Bai Ze nodded in agreement. Staying cooped up in the mountains all the time wasn't a good thing; they had to get out eventually. Bai Ze suddenly thought of Uncle Wu Xingyun's Lingjiu Palace. There weren't many outsiders there, and they could still live a normal life. Recommending his elder brother's family to go there would be a good choice.

Bai Ze said to Qiao Feng:

“Brother, I understand what you mean. I have a good place to go. Your family should be more at ease there, and you won’t be discovered by strangers. It’s much better than going north to the grasslands or south to find a place to live in seclusion.”

Qiao Feng asked with great interest:

"Oh! What place? If it's alright, our family can go there too."

Bai Ze said with a smile:

"My martial uncle Wu Xingyun's Lingjiu Palace on Misty Peak of Tianshan! Her sect has a great reputation in the surrounding area. If you want to live in seclusion there, it would definitely be a very good choice."

Moreover, that place is far from the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, and idle people can't even get to the vicinity of Misty Peak. You won't be hiding like you are now. You can go out and wander around the area whenever you want."

Qiao Feng also became interested. Since there was such a safe and trouble-free place, it wasn't bad. He then said to Bai Ze:

"Sure, but I don't know if your martial aunt will agree to let our family stay with her. Will there be any trouble?"

Bai Ze shook his head and said:

"Oh, it's no trouble at all. Now that my master has brought Lingjiu Palace under the Xiaoyao Sect, it's also within my jurisdiction. I'll just let my master know when the time comes."

Qiao Feng smiled and patted Bai Ze's arm, saying nothing more. Refusing his good brother's help at a time like this was not a good thing.

Qiao Feng then guided Bai Ze through all the moves of the Dragon Subduing Palm. In just one afternoon, Bai Ze had completely mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and a special skill point allocation interface for the Dragon Subduing Palm appeared in the system's skill list.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on completing mission 2: Collect famous martial arts techniques from the Tianlong world:"

The following are the main superior martial arts techniques from the novel *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*: Yi Jin Jing (acquired), Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms (acquired), Bei Ming Divine Skill (acquired), Six Meridians Divine Sword (acquired), One Yang Finger (acquired), Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Skill (acquired), Lesser Formless Skill (acquired), Flame Blade (acquired), White Rainbow Palm Force (acquired). These are now being distributed as mission rewards.

Task Rewards: Unlock skill points for the corresponding ultimate technique (the host can freely combine and use them); the acquired internal energy, lightness skill, and palm techniques will enhance the host's skill damage. Skills can be used in conjunction with internal energy to double the skill damage. Host Level * 2;

Bai Ze listened to the notification sound indicating that the task was completed. Now that he was level 45, he could awaken as a Berserker and use the even more awesome 'Demon Prison Blood Strike'!

"Ding~"

"The host is now issued a unique task: collect high-grade blood demon essence and a large amount of blood energy to help the host awaken the 'Blood Demon God' and become a demon god who controls the power of blood demons!"

Task: Collect 5 portions of high-level vampire essence blood and 50 blood energy;

Reward: Awaken to become the Blood Demon God

"Hmm? Vampire essence blood? Blood energy? Where can I find this?"

Bai Ze was very puzzled by the new task issued by the system, and then asked the system:

"System, what is Blood Demon Essence Blood? Where do I go to find it? And what about Blood Energy, 50? How do I obtain it?"

"Vampire essence can be obtained by killing a series of mythical and legendary creatures such as vampires, ghouls, and blood demons."

Blood energy is measured in units of humans or animals; one person or one animal constitutes one unit of blood energy. It can be obtained by killing humans or large animals. The system automatically absorbs the blood energy after the host kills the animal, up to a maximum of 50 units.

The system coldly explained how to obtain the required items, which made Bai Ze break out in a cold sweat. "Damn, vampire blood is easy to get. I can just find a world with vampires to get it."

This blood energy is absolutely undisguised—50! Not just 5 or 10; some worlds wouldn't even have enough of that!

Bai Ze pondered where he could gather 50 blood energy at once. If he were ruthless, it would be easy to find a world and kill 50 people directly. But he wasn't really crazy enough to eliminate 50 people for the sake of a mission.

This awakening quest is tough!

Bai Ze scratched his head and decided to stop thinking about it. He'd deal with it in the next world. Right now, he'd go find his martial uncle, Wu Xingyun, to ask Brother Qiao about the seclusion.

Bai Ze arrived at his master Wu Yazi and his master's wife and uncle's room. Wu Yazi had Su Xinghe completely renovate the cave where he had been hiding. The small wooden house at the entrance of the cave was demolished and replaced with several three-story high houses built against the cliff. He usually rested on the second or third floor of the high houses.

When Wu Yazi, Wu Xingyun, and Li Qiushui were cultivating, they would return to the cave in the house and cultivate without being disturbed.

Bai Ze came to find Tong Lao's Uncle Wu Xingyun. Tong Lao came down to the first floor to see Bai Ze. Bai Ze looked up and saw that Uncle Wu Xingyun was about twenty years old, with fair wrists like frost and snow, and a face like the moon by the well. No wonder Master Wu Yazi was so infatuated with him.

Bai Ze rose, bowed, and said:

"Uncle Master~"

Tong Lao Wu Xingyun took her seat and had her disciple Mei Jian serve tea to her and Bai Ze. Then she asked:

"My dear junior nephew, why aren't you playing and practicing with your group of beauties? What brings you here to see me?"

Bai Ze chuckled and said:

"Uncle-Master, I have something to ask you. My sworn brother and his family are having some trouble staying in the Song Dynasty. They can't go out to do anything on weekdays. Originally, he wanted to take Sister-in-law A'Zhu to the grasslands or mountains to find a place to live in seclusion."

However, I was thinking that your place at Misty Peak in Tianshan is quite large, so I thought it would be good for my elder brother and his family to live there. They would have familiar faces there who could take care of them, and they could also stay away from the disturbances of the martial arts world in the Song Dynasty.”

After listening to Bai Ze finish speaking, Wu Xingyun said:

"I thought it was something serious. Now that Lingjiu Palace is considered a subordinate of Xiaoyao Sect, you can make this decision and even came to ask me. Hey~ I agree. In a few days, some of those girls will be going back to Lingjiu Palace to change positions, so let them go together as a family."

Bai Ze happily cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you so much, Uncle-Master!"

Just as Bai Ze was about to take his leave, Li Qiushui and Wu Yazi came downstairs from the second floor and stopped him from leaving, saying they had something to discuss. Bai Ze had no choice but to sit down and listen to what his master's wife had to say.

(In the world of Tianlong, the current emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom is Li Liangzuo, the son of Li Qiushui and Li Yuanhao. He only has one granddaughter, Menggu Li Qinglu, and no grandsons. Therefore, this is a fictional work and should not be taken as fact. Readers can just enjoy the story.)

Li Qiushui said to Bai Ze, "My son Li Liangzuo only has one granddaughter, Li Qinglu. I want you to go to Xixia to become a prince consort. Li Liangzuo's health won't last more than a few years, so there's no need for you to use that divine medicine to save him."

"After he dies, you will become the prince consort of the Western Xia Kingdom. Your master's wife will then give you the entire Western Xia Kingdom as a congratulatory gift. What do you think?"

"what?"

Bai Ze was bewildered by his master's wife's move. Accepting Li Qinglu wasn't a bad idea, since Wang Yuyan was already destined to be taken down anyway, so having another granddaughter wouldn't make a difference. However, directly handing over the Western Xia Kingdom to Bai Ze left him somewhat at a loss.

"Master's wife, are you sure you're not mistaken? You're just giving me the entire Western Xia Kingdom?"

Li Qiushui looked at Bai Ze and said:

"What's the big deal? I'm still in charge of many things in Western Xia. When I get back, my adopted son Li Liangzuo won't live for many more years. I'll deal with those families who are loyal to the royal family, and I can give you the whole of Western Xia in no time. Do you want it?"

Bai Ze pondered his master's wife's words. During the Song Dynasty, they failed to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, and even allowed Li Yuanhao of the Dangxiang to grow powerful, resulting in the loss of the Hexi Corridor. To be honest, it was still very painful for Bai Ze, a Han Chinese.

Emperor Zhezong Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty is one of the few emperors in the Song Dynasty with a strong will. Bai Ze himself has no intention of becoming emperor. He is exhausted and has to fight against the civil and military officials every day. If he can help Zhao Xu take back the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms in one go and complete the unification of the country, then he will have come to the country in a worthwhile way!

Having figured out what he wanted to do, Bai Ze nodded to his master's wife and said:

"I agree, Master's wife, I want Western Xia! Not only Western Xia, I'm thinking of taking care of the Liao high-ranking officials as well, so that the Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Liao Dynasty can be unified, and we Han people can relive the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Wouldn't that be even better!"

Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui were surprised that their beloved disciple had such thoughts. Wu Yazi quickly asked:

"My dear disciple, you want to be the emperor?"

Bai Ze smiled and shook his head, saying:

"I have no interest in that. What's so great about being an emperor? You're exhausted every day and don't even have time to play. Emperor Zhezong Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty is a good emperor right now. When the three kingdoms are united, we can hand them over to him to manage."

Li Qiushui nodded in agreement with Bai Ze's words. Unifying their homeland was the dream of every Han Chinese. Since her good disciple had this intention, Li Qiushui would definitely help.
