(Doulou Two) Zhongli Journey in Unrivaled Tang Sect

A white-gold soul ring, a soul ring whose strength surpasses his own!

If it weren't for the twin martial spirits, Wu Yun would have devoured them on the spot!

What surprised Wu Yun was that he hadn't heard of this person since then...

"Elder Wu Yun of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect pays his respects to Your Excellency!"

Cold sweat slid down Wu Yun's forehead.

He had merely brought two juniors out for training, and yet he had encountered such a person.

Was it luck or misfortune?

After all, his granddaughter and the young sect master were both here.

If the other party had any ill intentions, Wu Yun couldn't even bear to think about the consequences!

Zhongli was slightly taken aback and looked at Wu Yun.

Judging by the man's appearance, he should be the elder of that witch wind.

"Senior is too polite. Zhongli greets you."

Zhongli clasped his hands and spoke with an unchanged expression.

But hearing this, Wu Yun felt uneasy.

Senior?

Zhongli looked young, yet his strength surpassed his own.

How young could he really be?

If he didn't already have a granddaughter, he could still maintain the youthful image he once had.

Fortunately, judging from Zhongli's demeanor, the other party seemed to harbor no ill intentions.

'Torturing this old man... I apologize for not being able to do so.'

Wu Yun hurriedly waved his hand and continued, "Your Excellency Zhongli, just call me Old Yun... No, Little Yun will do!"

Zhongli, Paimon: "..."

If judged by age, Zhongli could be this man's ancestor.

If judged by strength, Zhongli could be the ancestor of that ancestor...

The corner of Paimon's eye twitched slightly.

Zhongli was good in every way, appearing young yet not behaving like a young man at all.

No wonder, given how old this guy was, pretending to be a youth was simply impossible.

"Why must you insist on such formalities? Why don't we simply be friends?"

"Whatever you say, it shall be!"

Zhongli: "..."

The "young man" had some discernment and seemed to have noticed something.

The atmosphere fell silent. After a while, Wu Yun's eyes shifted, and he looked at Zhongli again.

"Might I ask what brings you here, senior?"

After saying this, as if fearing Zhongli might misunderstand, Wu Yun quickly added, "I am here to escort two juniors from our sect to study at Shrek Academy. We passed by the Star Dou Great Forest to gain some experience."

"If there is any way I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to ask, senior. I will not refuse."

Having spent some time with Zhongli, Wu Yun could tell from his speech and demeanor that this was not an "evil" person.

He carried himself more like a sect master than a sect master, exuding an indescribable aura.

The sect master's demeanor was cultivated, but Zhongli seemed innate.

"Hiss~"

At this thought, Wu Yun glanced at the soul ring on Paimon's body again, and his eyes grew even brighter.

Sometimes, making the right choice is more important than hard work.

If it weren't for the rebellion of the Bone Dragon Sect, he might never have been able to join the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.

With the support of the sect's resources, the Fire Dragon Vein had begun to flourish.

This was the wisdom of his ancestors, and it was the right choice.

Now, standing before him was someone who likely possessed a "god-level soul ring."

If he didn't seize this opportunity to curry favor, wouldn't his ancestors be furious?

Hearing this, Zhongli glanced at Wu Yun with a hint of amusement.

The old man in front of him was quite shrewd.

Those who understand the times are true heroes.

Even if it was just a guess, the other party was willing to leave a good impression.

Truly worthy of being a member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.

"Elder Wu Yun, you are too kind."

Zhongli waved his hand and continued, "When I passed by earlier, I sensed that these two young friends were in danger, so I came over to take a look."

He had naturally sensed Wu Yun's presence, which was why he hadn't increased his speed on his way here.

Wu Yun was momentarily stunned, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

He hadn't expected this person to be so kind-hearted...

It wasn't that such people didn't exist, but top masters rarely acted this way.

After all, who among the top masters hadn't risen through schemes and bloodshed?

The warmth in their hearts had long been worn away, let alone bothering with such trivial matters.

"What a pity, what a pity."

At the same time, Wu Yun secretly lamented in his heart.

Was it a pity that such a good opportunity had slipped away because the other party didn't need help?

"Hey, stop talking! That red-haired young lady is about to be killed!"

At that moment, Paimon exclaimed in alarm, pointing in the direction of Wu Feng.

Zhongli, Wu Yun: "..."

The strength of the Rock Demon Tiger far surpassed that of Wu Feng.

Even with Ning Tian's assistance, they could only barely hold their own against the beast.

Ning Tian was beginning to panic.

This was nothing like the training she had imagined!

The people who were supposed to protect the two of them hadn't made a move, and Sister Feng was truly in danger of being killed by the Rock Demon Tiger!

"What's going on?"

"Isn't there anyone following us?"

She was the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.

How could there be no one secretly protecting her?

"It's impossible!"

"Young master, run! Quickly!"

Wu Feng raised his arms to block the claws of the Rock Demon Tiger, then turned her head and shouted at Ning Tian.

She couldn't hold on any longer, truly couldn't hold on!

She only hoped that her death could buy enough time for the young master to escape.

Ning Tian's face was pale, her usual calm and calculating demeanor completely shattered.

Everything had been within her calculations, but fate had other plans!

Since childhood, she had never shown a trace of panic on her face, but now, her expression was filled with fear, shock, and disbelief.

"Has Wu Feng and I been abandoned by my father?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Has something happened in the sect?"

In that moment, countless thoughts raced through Ning Tian's mind, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

"Run... How can I run?"

Ning Tian sighed. Despite her thoughts, her feet remained rooted to the ground.

She was intelligent, but after all, she was only an eleven-year-old child.

When faced with something she couldn't comprehend, it was easy for her to spiral into confusion.

"Roar~"

The Rock Demon Tiger let out another deafening roar, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

These two human children would be its meal today!

Devouring two soul masters would allow it to increase its cultivation by at least a hundred years.

"Young Master~"

Wu Feng saw Ning Tian frozen in place and felt a surge of frustration.

It didn't matter if she died, but the young master's safety was paramount.

Yet, the young master hadn't even attempted to run, making her sacrifice seem almost meaningless.

"Big tiger, don't you dare!"

"Watch Paimon take you down!"

Paimon placed one hand on her hip and pointed at the Rock Demon Tiger with the other, decisively activating her first soul skill: Spiritual Detection.

She had no experience with martial souls, had never been in a real fight, and didn't understand soul skills or anything of the sort.

But wasn't this a critical moment?

Soul skills had to be useful, right?

As the white-gold soul ring flickered, Paimon's mind was flooded with information.

"What... What is this?"

Within a radius of 10,000 meters—no, more than 10,000 meters (she couldn't be exact), everything was within her perception.

It was like a god's perspective, utterly astonishing.

But as amazing as it was, this soul skill didn't seem to have any offensive capabilities!

Rock Demon Tiger: "???"

What just happened?

And what is that little thing?
