Chapter 1 The Wedge Seeking Collection

  "Cough, Master! I invited you here is..." Lei Hu couldn't help but interrupt the two who were chatting enthusiastically.

  "Ah! Oh, forget about what you said, and I don't want that half of the Ling Stone either. You handle it yourself." With that, the man in black walked aside, indicating he would no longer interfere with the matter.

  Seeing this, the scene was shocked and suddenly knelt down in front of the black-clothed man, "Master, where did I go wrong? Tell me, I will definitely change." Regardless of whether the black-clothed man agreed or not, he knocked his head three times with a loud thud.

  Lei Hu pitifully knelt on the ground waiting for the black-clad man's response, but the black-clad man was unmoved. "Master, Master! You said you would help me, you can't go back on your word!" Lei Hu excitedly grabbed the black-clad man's clothes and tore them apart.

  A loud noise came from above, and Lei Hu looked up to see that the great master he had in mind was actually a young boy who had not yet lost his baby fat. This person had a clear brow and bright eyes, but his face was deathly pale, giving off an air of poverty and bookishness. He completely overturned Lei Hu's image of a wise and venerable old man with a strong and majestic aura.

  "Haha, I didn't expect a fellow Daoist to be so young." Wang Yu found the youth in front of him somewhat amusing, as he was clearly a naive and inexperienced young man trying to appear profound.

  "Get out!" The young man who had his hood pulled off was furious and kicked away Lei Hu, who was kneeling beside him.

  "I won't bother with this matter anymore. Fellow Taoist, you can handle it however you want, no need to consider me." The young man walked away with a cold face.

  "Thanks a lot, you're really straightforward." Wang Yu nodded at the young man.

  "Lei Hu, today is the first time we've met, isn't it?" Wang Yu wore a dark purple-black long robe, with a half-meter-long Blood Spirit Knife on his back that was quite eye-catching.

  "It's... Young Master Wang San, I think there's been a misunderstanding, someone must be stirring up trouble. There's no conflict between us, let's just forget about it. Another day, I'll come visit you at your doorstep." Lei Hu was also a powerful figure, seeing the black-clad youth suddenly change his mind, he too chose to downplay the situation and stall for time.

  "Huh? No conflict? The four subordinates under your command were killed by me, and it seems that Long Yan's appearance in this Langya City is not unrelated to you?" Wang Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lei Hu, who was still kneeling in the distance.

  "This... since you already know, there's nothing more to say. I'd rather die than let you have your way! You little brat, come and take my life!" Lei Hu's face twisted in a fierce scowl as he stood up, charging towards Wang Yu.

  "Hmm! Vine Technique! Bind!" Wang Yu's finger moved, and a burst of wood spiritual energy shot out. Immediately following was earth spiritual energy, closely interacting with the ground, as the spiritual energy spread to Lei Hu's feet, "Bind!" Not one, but several green vines suddenly emerged from underground, tightly wrapping around the charging Lei Hu.

  "Let me go! Wang Yu, you're despicable! Taking advantage of my unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack on me!" The enraged Roaring Tiger, who was entwined by vines and sealed in the mud, shouted madly.

  "Hmph! King Cheng is defeated, the thief is punished! Moreover, I'm not launching a sneak attack, you were the one who attacked me first, and I just used a little magic to punish you. I'll ask again, will you surrender to me or seek another path to death?!" Wang Yu showed an impatient expression. If Lei Hu dared to say a single "no", he would be dead in the next second.

  "I... I am willing to surrender." Lei Hu said "surrender" in a dejected tone, but was he truly willing to surrender? Of course not.

  Wang Yu's foot pressed down on Lei Hu's chest, "Have you thought it through? Are you willing to surrender?"

  "Agreed!" At the same time, a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes.

  "Oh? Really willing? Then don't regret it!" Wang Yu's foot exerted force, and Lei Hu immediately spat out blood nonstop.

  Looking at the blood flowers dancing in the sky, Wang Yu picked up a drop of fresh blood, which was exactly Lei Hu's essence blood. Wang Yu reached out to take the fresh blood and forced out his own essence blood at the same time, starting the Essence Blood Contract.

  "From now on, devote your heart to serving me, and I will never treat you unfairly! If you have any other intentions!"

  "Ah!!!!!" Leihu lay on the ground and let out a mournful cry for no reason, after which he seemed somewhat limp.

  "Have you felt the consequences? If you have any other intentions, I will be the first to sense it. Don't bring trouble upon yourself." Wang Yu left a cold remark, leaving Lei Hu stunned and unable to recover for a long time.

  "Hehe, sorry to have made you laugh, Elder Yan. Just a small punishment, don't let those ordinary people look down on us." Wang Yu said with a smile.

  "Where, where. Wang Lao Di's good skills, that Blood Contract of yours I've heard for the first time." Yan squeezed out a few smiles with difficulty on his pale face.

  "Heh heh, how can my little trick impress the discerning eyes of Elder Brother Yan? Or would you like me to invite Elder Brother Yan to a chat in Langyuan City?" Wang Yu tentatively looked at Yan Yu in front of him, knowing from their previous conversation that he was a cultivator from another realm, and wanting to learn more about other realms from his mouth.

  "Very good, let's go!"

  "Lei Hu, take your men back to Lang Ya Bang. Be more careful in the future and don't be reckless. Listen to Pu Tian Yi's advice often, understand?" Wang Yu said indifferently.

  It's been a long time since anyone spoke up, and Wang Yu's expression suddenly turned gloomy. "Didn't you hear what I said?"

  "Ahh!!! I heard it, I heard it. Spare my life, noble master!" Leihu rolled around on the ground in agony again until he begged for mercy before being let off.

  At this time, Lei Hu was so scared that he didn't dare to be presumptuous again. Lei Hu's face was covered in cold sweat as he kept kowtowing to Wang Yu.

  "Hmph! Don't think this is the end of it! If there's a next time, I'll make sure you're destroyed, annihilated!" Wang Yu said expressionlessly before turning to leave with Yan for Langyacastle.

  "Wang, you're a loose cultivator, and yet you have such an impressive skillset - it's truly astonishing. I wonder if you've found a powerful mentor or had some other extraordinary encounter?" Yan Yu looked at Wang Yu with a mixture of surprise and envy, thinking to himself that if Wang Yu didn't have any backing or powerful mentors, he wouldn't mind becoming a bandit who kills people and steals their goods. This kind of skill was a good thing to have, and if he could get his hands on it, finding some capable underlings and collecting spirit stones would be much easier.

  But Wang Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and showing off in front of him was just to intimidate him. Now that he asked on his own initiative, Wang Yu was naturally delighted.

  "I don't know where the master is from, but I only know that my master is from the Heavenly Realm, his cultivation is high and immeasurable. He often sits in meditation for a long time, sometimes for as long as a month. I heard him say that he has left his physical body and is wandering in the vast emptiness. I don't understand what it means, can brother Yan explain it to me?" Wang Yu looked at Yan Yu with narrowed eyes, watching his shocked expression.

  "Ah!…… How dare I, your master is actually a top-notch expert in the Yuan Ying period! This kind of strength is not unknown in the Tian Yu, except for those who don't leave their seclusion in the Chu Kun period, the Yuan Ying period is the most formidable. I didn't expect that Brother Wang would have such a background, I'm so sorry. My Fu Zhou sect has some connections with your Wang family. I didn't expect that my brother's master would be so powerful." Upon hearing that Wang Yu's master was a Yuan Ying period cultivator, Yan was shocked beyond words, it was too stunning.

  If Long War heard his apprentice say that he was a Yuan Ying period cultivator who couldn't even cough up blood, at this time he was about to ascend to the heavens as a Mahayana period master!
