Wanwan Went Down the Mountain, and Shi Feixuan Fed the Demon With Her Body!

Ming Dynasty, Hulong Villa

Zhu Wushi silently pondered the confidential report in his hands.

Soon after, he summoned the four top agents of Hulong Villa: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

● Heaven Number One: Duan Tianya

● Earth Number One: Guihai Yidao

● Profound Number One: Shangguan Haitang

●Yellow Number One: Cheng Shifei

"Foster father…"

The four entered the main hall, bowed, and greeted Zhu Wushi with the utmost respect.

"Take a look at this report and assess its authenticity."

Zhu Wushi handed the report to Duan Tianya, instructing the group to examine its contents.

Although Hulong Villa had stationed spies in Snow Moon City, they had limited access to core information. Most of the intelligence they received consisted of surface-level rumors and common knowledge.

However, the idea of someone breaking through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm at only eighteen—while also curing Ye Ruoyi's congenital heart defect—made Zhu Wushi feel like the world had turned upside down.

Could such a prodigy truly exist?

Judging by his talent, it wasn't unthinkable for Jiang Che to reach the Heavenly Realm before the age of twenty!

A Heavenly Realm master at twenty years old?

Just the thought of it sent a chill down Zhu Wushi's spine.

He had cultivated for most of his life and, relying on the Art of Energy Dissolution, had barely reached the half-step Heavenly Realm. Even now, he had yet to take that final step.

"Hiss…"

"Eighteen and already at the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm?"

"That's impossible!"

Cheng Shifei gasped, stunned.

As elite agents of Hulong Villa, their talents were beyond question. Even so, the strongest among them—Duan Tianya—was only at the second level of the Grandmaster realm at the age of twenty-three.

It was almost unimaginable that someone like Jiang Che could exist.

"Foster father, I think this information is false."

"Breaking through to the Grandmaster level at eighteen is already extraordinary. To be at the ninth level? That's beyond belief."

Duan Tianya's eyes shimmered with doubt as he spoke.

Zhu Wushi remained silent, deep in thought.

"Foster father, I believe the report is true…"

Shangguan Haitang's eyes narrowed slightly, as if something had come to mind.

"Oh?"

"And why do you think that, Haitang?" Zhu Wushi asked, intrigued.

"About a month ago, Jiang Che visited my Tianxia First Manor."

"At that time, he had already reached the fifth level of the Grandmaster realm. But he stayed only a single day before leaving."

"I tried my best to persuade him to stay, but he refused. I had no idea where he was headed."

"For someone to jump from the fifth to the ninth level in just a month, he must have experienced a great stroke of fortune…"

Shangguan Haitang spoke thoughtfully.

She remembered Jiang Che clearly—a young Grandmaster with a striking presence. Someone like that was impossible to forget.

Back then, she had offered him generous terms to serve Zhu Wushi, but he had turned down every offer.

"In that case, Haitang, go to Snow Moon City to represent Hulong Villa at the upcoming Hundred Flowers Gathering. Investigate whether Jiang Che is truly as remarkable as this report claims."

Zhu Wushi nodded slowly, already leaning toward believing Haitang's judgment.

If such a miraculous healer had really appeared in Snow Moon City, there might be hope of saving Su Xin.

Even if there was only a sliver of a chance, Zhu Wushi was unwilling to let it pass.

"Understood!"

…

Sui Dynasty, Yin Kui Sect

Upon receiving intelligence from Snow Moon City, Zhu Yuyan immediately went to find Wanwan, who was in the midst of her cultivation.

"Master?"

Wanwan paused her training as the door opened, a flicker of confusion crossing her face.

Her master never interrupted her unless the matter was urgent.

"The Hundred Flowers Gathering in Snow Moon City is approaching. Get close to the Fourth City Lord and try to win him over."

"Your Heavenly Demon Art has reached the seventeenth level. It's time for you to descend the mountain and gain real-world experience."

Zhu Yuyan handed her the report.

Unlike other factions, Zhu Yuyan had discovered that Jiang Che came from the Song Dynasty and had been appointed City Lord of Snow Moon City after just one day there.

She suspected there were hidden interests behind this arrangement—perhaps even a secret deal between Jiang Che and someone within Snow Moon City.

"Understood…"

Wanwan replied, then began reading the report with curiosity.

As she read, her pupils involuntarily contracted.

…

Ci Hang Jing Zhai, Emperor's Peak

Fan Qinghui approached the current Saintess of Ci Hang Jing Zhai, Shi Feixuan, in person.

"Master?"

Shi Feixuan was surprised by her master's sudden appearance.

"The world teeters on the brink of chaos, and the Demon Sect is on the move."

"A peerless genius has emerged in Snow Moon City, and the Yin Kui Sect has already taken action."

"Now that your Ci Hang Sword Canon has been perfected, it's time for you to descend the mountain."

"Attend the Hundred Flowers Gathering on behalf of Ci Hang Jing Zhai, and attempt to win Jiang Che over."

"If you cannot recruit him, then at the very least, ensure he doesn't fall into the Demon Sect's hands."

"If necessary, you must even be willing to sacrifice yourself to save him…"

"Understood…"

Shi Feixuan stared long and silently at the report before gently nodding.
