"Second Elder, make arrangements for Qingqing’s male companion," Wu Bubai said to Wu Buhuo.

The initial plan was for Ye Tian to accompany Yunqing Qing.

"Liqing?" Wu Buhuo hesitated, then smiled bitterly.

Only Wu Liqing was left.

As for the other young people of the Martial Sect, they were too far off; attending the Hidden Cloud Tea Party would only bring disgrace.

"No."

"I will not go."

......

Wu Bubai and Wu Liqing spoke simultaneously.

"What now?" Wu Buhuo was frustrated.

"Go to the Wu Prison, and bring out Wu Mingcun," Wu Bubai said.

What????

As soon as Wu Bubai said this.

Silence reigned.

Many were both shocked and terrified, anxious, even.

Second Elder Wu Buhuo shook his head fiercely: "Impossible. He has committed such heinous crimes; how can we release him? Besides, if he’s released, what if he escapes?"

"This session of the Hidden Cloud Tea Party is very important."

Wu Bubai sighed: "Pushed to this point, this is all we can do. Although Wu Mingcun has committed heinous crimes and is dangerous, we cannot deny that his strength is indeed considerable."

Indeed, before Wu Mingcun was imprisoned in Wu Prison, even Wu Zhenwang and Wu Liqing were no match for him.

Wu Mingcun’s Martial Arts Will was purple, and what’s more, a true dragon!!!

No less than Yunqing Qing’s purple Vermilion Bird.

Wu Mingcun was a rare double master of sword and saber, cultivating both to a half-step sublimation state, truly a super demon among super demons.

After Xiao Rugu but before Yunqing Qing, Wu Mingcun represented the strongest genius of the Martial Sect.

Sadly, his character was too vile.

For the sake of Martial Arts resources, he secretly sold some of the Martial Sect’s secret techniques and cultivation techniques to other hidden forces, just to obtain a massive quantity of Spirit Stones, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

This child’s talent is unparalleled, but his character is truly...

Indescribable.

He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

In some sense, he is even more despicable than Xiao Rugu.

"Understood." Wu Bubai had made up his mind, and Wu Buhuo turned on his heel, heading straight for Wu Prison.

Half an hour later.

Wu Buhuo returned.

Returning with him was a young man in white, handsome in appearance and extraordinary in bearing.

Just outwardly, this youth seemed extremely orderly.

This young man was Wu Mingcun, a super demon whose appearance could mislead.

He carried a saber and a sword on his back.

To everyone’s astonishment, Wu Mingcun had reached the half-step Supreme Martial Realm.

Absolutely incredible!!!

It was known that after being confined to Wu Prison, Wu Mingcun was completely cut off from Martial Arts resources, and the Spiritual Energy within Wu Prison was weak.

An ordinary person would be lucky not to regress in their Martial Realm upon entering the prison, let alone progress.

But Wu Mingcun.

How many years has it been?

In 20 to 30 years, he had progressed from late True Martial Realm upon entering the prison to half-step Supreme Martial Realm???????

Even Wu Bubai was somewhat moved.

Such talent was extraordinarily remarkable.

"The task of accompanying Yunqing Qing to the Hidden Cloud Tea Party, maintaining the dignity of the Martial Sect, and ensuring Qingqing’s safety, falls to you. Do it well, and upon return, the elder can reduce your sentence, aiming to release you within a millennium from the Wu Prison," Wu Bubai stated directly.

Not far off, Yunqing Qing had an unpleasant expression, clenching her fists.

She was extremely unwilling to have Wu Mingcun as her companion. She preferred Ye Tian.

But Young Master Ye... Unable to help herself, she glanced toward Bone Burying Village, feeling a pang of sorrow, Young Master Ye, could it be you truly perished in Bone Burying Village?

"Qingqing, don’t worry, throughout your journey with Wu Mingcun to the Hidden Cloud Tea Party, the elder will dispatch the Third Elder to follow, ensuring your absolute safety," at this moment, Wu Bubai transmitted a message to Yunqing Qing.

How could Wu Bubai allow Wu Mingcun and Yunqing Qing to be left to their own devices?

Wu Mingcun was far too dangerous.

If by any chance Wu Mingcun decided to escape, even killing Yunqing Qing was a possibility.

Temporarily, Yunqing was nowhere near a match for Wu Mingcun.

The assurance came only if the Third Elder followed the entire time.

Yunqing Qing breathed a sigh of relief, yet still held hope for Ye Tian. Isn’t there still a few days until the Hidden Cloud Tea Party?

"Young Master Ye!!! You will certainly make it out alive, certainly!" Yun Qingqing prayed in her heart.

Just at this moment, Wu Mingcun, with a face full of smiles, said, "Great Elder, it’s a deal."

While speaking, Wu Mingcun suddenly looked toward Bone Burying Village: "I heard there’s a fool who entered the Bone Burying Village? And, has he been in there for more than 10 days already?!"

Wu Mingcun’s expression was strange, suddenly bursting out laughing: "Great Elder, you aren’t holding a grudge against this fool, are you? Letting him in there to die? Does this fool know the Martial Sect’s ancestral saying: If you don’t come out within 10 days, you are surely dead?"

"Shut up!" Wu Bubai reprimanded, his expression grim.

Jin Qingcheng also glanced dangerously at Wu Mingcun, suddenly speaking: "My man will come out alive."

Wu Mingcun subconsciously looked at Jin Qingcheng and was stunned.

Yes, he was stunned by Jin Qingcheng’s peerless beauty...

Is there such a beautiful woman in the world?

"Heh... come out alive? On the way, the Second Elder already mentioned to me that the one originally appointed to accompany the current Martial Sect successor to the Hidden Cloud Tea Party was indeed this fool who entered Bone Burying Village. Now, it is I who will accompany him to the Hidden Cloud Tea Party instead. Doesn’t this indicate that the Great Elder and others already presume this fool is dead, unable to return?"

Wu Mingcun chuckled gleefully, rather satisfied.

As he spoke and smiled, his originally extraordinary demeanor seemed to crumble slightly.

......

Jin Qingcheng was silent, not even having the heart to retort as worry and frustration rose within her.

The atmosphere grew much stranger.

"Clearly knowing that fool is dead inside, why refuse to admit it? It’s so hypocritical."

Wu Mingcun shrugged his shoulders, snorting: "If that fool can make it out alive from Bone Burying Village, I, Wu Mingcun, will kill myself immediately."

Immortal Sound Valley.

In a quaint, ancient house, two maids were attentively making tea.

Seated by the tea table was a woman.

That woman was named Ye Li.

Young Valley Master of Immortal Sound Valley.

"Young Valley Master, please have some tea," the maid said respectfully, though in their eyes lurked both pity and ridicule.

What kind of nonsense Young Valley Master?

In a few days, won’t she lose that title?

If she handed over the Quasi-Emperor Treasure to the Valley Master and the elders, wouldn’t it be over?

Persisting stubbornly now, what if she can’t even keep her life in the end?

And as her maids, they too might be implicated.

Truly vexing.

"Brother, when will I be able to see you?"

Ye Li sipped her tea, a trace of distraction on her beautiful, innocent face, and after some time, she murmured to herself. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yes, she was the sister with no blood relation to Ye Tian.

Ever since learning she had a brother, she was elated, longing to meet her brother, Ye Tian.
