Chapter 1 The Wedge Seeking Collection

  "Captain, someone... is missing!"

  "What! Wasn't he supposed to be watching?! The guard who heard the news that Wang Yu was nowhere to be found looked very angry."

  "Captain, it's not that I wasn't paying attention, but that guy is too slick. He hid behind the tree and I couldn't see him. By the time I turned around to the other side of the tree, he was gone." The little Si who was in charge of monitoring Wang Yu explained anxiously.

  "Rubbish! Let you watch, you still dare to quibble after losing. What use is such rubbish to me!" The captain of the bandits became even more enraged upon hearing his subordinate's quibbling.

  "No... no, Captain, have mercy! He didn't leave, he didn't leave. His horse is still by the lake." Little Si, who was in charge of checking, said hastily.

  "The horse is still there? Well, you haven't gone far yet. Let those few go and find it, be careful not to expose yourself."

  At this time, Wang Yu was sitting on a big tree watching all of this. He didn't think that the power of Giant Tiger Mountain would be so great. As soon as he entered the range of Giant Tiger Mountain, he was discovered. Moreover, listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were going to invite an expert to deal with him. Wang Yu felt that this was his first real battle since coming to this strange world. His heart was boiling with excitement, and he couldn't wait to fight against the incoming expert.

  Wang Yu sat on the tree, observing the movement below at any time. Soon, a group of people came from a small path to Wang Yu's left. The momentum of this group was more than ten times stronger than that of the people who were monitoring Wang Yu. Among them, there was even a leader of the level of a magic sword master, and as soon as he arrived, he cast his sharp eyes towards Wang Yu hiding in the tree.

  "Get down from the tree!" The newcomer bellowed.

  "Huh? Has he discovered me?" Upon hearing the approaching person's angry roar, his heart skipped a beat and he almost revealed himself.

  "Can't come out? I'll beat you out!" As he spoke, a surge of energy shot towards a nearby tree not far from Wang Yu.

  "Pffft!"

  "Brother Ba Hu, Brother Ba Hu, why get agitated. It's me, Qiu Long." A short and ugly man jumped down from a nearby tree not far from Wang Yu.

  "Is that you? This is the territory of Giant Tiger Mountain, how did you get here. Our Lao Da and your Dragon Lao Da had an agreement, to divide our territories and not invade each other's, but now you're in Giant Tiger Mountain which is against the rules." Seeing that the person was Jiu Shou Ling from Pan Long Mountain, Ba Hu's tone became serious.

  "Brother Ba Hu, it's been a long time! You're as majestic as ever, and your cultivation has improved!" Xuan Long Pi smiled insincerely while greeting Ba Hu.

  "Hmph! Don't tell me that, you've entered the range of my Giant Tiger Mountain against the rules. Even if you find Dragon Boss, you won't get any good treatment." Ba Hu said with a hard tone, not showing any gratitude at all.

  "Besides, Brother Ba Hu isn't entering your Giant Tiger Mountain range privately, but to capture a little brat. That little brat passed through my territory and killed or injured dozens of my brothers. If I don't flay him alive, how can I, Qiu Long, still mix in the Dragon and Tiger Mountains? Please do me a favor, Brother Ba Hu. If not, don't blame me for being rude."

  "Brother Qiu Long, don't worry about it anymore. The person has already been captured by the people of Giant Tiger Mountain and sent to Yan Lao Da's place. Brother Qiu Long, please return." Ba Hu's tone was still unyielding.

  "Go back? You want me to go back? Go back, what can I say to my brother?" Chui Long Hu was furious.

  "Brother Qiu Long, we've been neighbors for many years, don't make things difficult for me. After I'm done using this kid at Giant Tiger Mountain, I'll send him to you right away. If you insist on being stubborn, then don't blame me for not being polite!""

  "Let's see the truth then!" Qiu Long said, suddenly moving his hands. Ba Hu was clearly caught off guard by this sudden attack, he didn't expect Qiu Long to be so swift and decisive, without any hesitation. As soon as he moved, he fell into a disadvantageous position, Qiu Long pursued him fiercely, and soon Ba Hu was severely injured. Qiu Long didn't bother with Ba Hu anymore and turned his head to rush towards Wang Yu's location.

  A punch from the giant fist turned the big tree where Wang Yu was into fragments, and Wang Yu's figure was suddenly exposed in front of everyone. Wang Yu did not show any surprise, he knew that the dragon hiding place could see what Wang Yu was doing on the tree.

  "What are you looking for, Qiu Long leader?" Wang Yu looked at Qiu Long coldly, fully prepared for battle.

  "Little one, you've killed and wounded many of my brothers on your way here. What do you plan to do about it? You owe me an explanation!" said the gloomy Dragon King.

  "I was injured by humans, but I didn't kill them!" Wang Yu replied coldly, still staring at the dragon with no emotion.

  "Hum! No matter what, you have to give me an explanation!"

  "Money? Is it about money? Is this enough?" Wang Yu pulled out a large amount of gold from his storage bracelet, piling it up into a small mountain on the ground. The sound of greedy gasps and swallowing echoed around him. These little demons' eyes turned red, as anyone would be tempted by a mountain of gold. Of course, cultivators who had reached the Golden Dan stage could view money as dirt, because they no longer needed worldly things, they didn't even need to eat anymore.

  But what about the Qi-refining, foundation-building cultivators? They often need to blend in with the secular world to complete various tasks, and they are fond of worldly things. Ten thousand taels of gold is a huge sum of money for them. Wang Yu looked at the crowd around him and said loudly: "Everyone! This money is not only for the medicine fees of those injured brothers, but also for the hard work fees of many brothers. Whoever gets it is whoever's. Consider it a small token from me to everyone, please accept it!"

  "Seize it! What are you waiting for? Are you going to let the money fall into Panlong Mountain's pocket with your eyes wide open?" The people on both sides shouted at the same time. In an instant, the two groups of people mixed together like a mess of porridge. All kinds of curses and complaints filled the entire valley.

  Wang Yu saw this and had no reason not to run, so he turned his head and rushed into the mountain forest. Wang Yu's spiritual sense responded to Hei Jia's state, letting Hei Jia go to a nearby mountain peak and mix with the wild horses without being caught. As he walked, he fought with Qiu Long, unknowingly arriving at a dead end. A tall cliff blocked Wang Yu's path ahead. Wang Yu didn't plan to run anymore, turned his head around, and joined forces with Qiu Long to fight together.

  "Hey kid, you're running again! Why did you stop? Haha!" The dragon laughed menacingly.

  "Who wants to run? Chilong, if you want to die, don't blame me! Ice Fire Wheel!" Wang Yu used the Ice Fire Wheel from the Ice Fire Decision to surround Chilong entirely, while he himself hid his figure on the side, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

  "Little one, don't think that your small tricks can trap me, the mighty dragon! Break for me!" The dragon roared loudly, and the entire ice-fire wheel shattered into fragments. The dragon stood in place, holding a large axe. From the perspective of spiritual power, craftsmanship, and other professional aspects, Wang Yu analyzed that this was a mid-grade Xuan-stage weapon.

  "Little one, accept your death!" The curly dragon raised its giant axe and was about to chop down on Wang Yu. In an instant, the swift and fierce attack became slow and powerless. The curly dragon felt as if it had eaten a numbing poison, its head spinning dizzily.

  "You little brat, what have you done to me?! Why am I like this?! Tell me!" the dragon roared with all its might.

  "Hehe, what did I do to you? Guess! Oh, forgot to tell you. I'm a Mo Wu dual cultivator, I'm both a great sword master and a high-level magician. Just now, I cast the curse technique from dark magic on you, making your state decline." Wang Yu said leisurely.

  "Despicable! You're too despicable! Come on and have a real fight with me!" The coiled dragon roared again.

  "Despicable? Heh heh, you think a sixth-rank demonic swordsmaster like you can have a fair fight with me, a fifth-rank great swordsmaster, in a real battle?" Wang Yu responded again in that emotionless tone to Qiu Long, "However, I do want to have a real fight with you. Come on!"

  Wang Yu lifted the curse from Qiu Long and took advantage of the situation to strike him with a knife. However, compared to the trouble caused by the curse, this small injury was negligible.

  "Look at the knife!" Wang Yu didn't waste any words, holding the Blood Spirit Knife as he charged towards the Coiling Dragon. This was a real close combat! The two of them went back and forth, fighting with great enthusiasm. The entire valley was in disarray. The Coiling Dragon and Wang Yu sat panting on two separate locations, the battle had reached its final stage, now both of their powers were almost completely exhausted.

  Both of them wanted to recover their strength before the other, so they could take the lead and kill each other. As time passed minute by minute, Qiu Long became more and more anxious, while Wang Yu was very calm, after all, he had experienced death once.

  Soon, the dragon slowly got up. It approached Wang Yu with a ferocious face, and at this time, Wang Yu also felt a little anxious. He looked around at his surroundings, and finally fixed his gaze on the huge boulder above his head. Seeing the position of the boulder, Wang Yu's heart was delighted - he had an idea!

  Wang Yu's heart silently calculated the distance between the Coiled Dragon and the giant stone. Just as Wang Yu was about five meters away from the Coiled Dragon, he suddenly made his move, shooting a thin sword energy towards the Coiled Dragon. The Coiled Dragon, caught off guard, dodged to the side with its head, avoiding the attack.

  "Ha ha ha! You've exhausted your inner power, kid!" The Coiling Dragon laughed maniacally after dodging the sword.

  "It's used up, but your time of death has also arrived!"

  "Has my time of death arrived? Haha! Let's see who dies first!" The Coiling Dragon continued to approach Wang Yu, and was now only three meters away.

  "Pffft!"

  Bang! Bang!

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

  The sound then disappeared, leaving behind only a bloodstain and minced meat.

  Across the Dragon Empire for decades, the nine leaders of Panlong Mountain, who were once arrogant and domineering, have all perished! Wang Yu was also seriously injured. Wang Yu took out a drop of Thousand-Year Ancient Stone from his storage ring and swallowed it. The entrance of the Thousand-Year Ancient Stone was fragrant and left a lasting aftertaste. Soon, the Thousand-Year Ancient Stone transformed into pure spiritual energy, but this spiritual energy was extremely powerful.

  Wang Yu used the Celestial Heaven Technique to dissolve and guide the violent spiritual energy waves, directing this pure spiritual energy to repair his injured internal organs and muscles.

  Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed. Wang Yu's injury has almost recovered.
