249: Wang Xiaopang: Qingxuan Sect, the sect I once wanted to rob?

The group departed from the Old Site of the Glazed Holy Land. Xiao Ruobai's Spiritual Qi surged, enveloping Fang Hanyu, Ling Xi, and Wang Xiaopang, transforming into a fleeting streak of light that was difficult for the naked eye to catch. They broke through the Void Realm and vanished at an incredibly high speed.

Wang Xiaopang was so startled by the terrifying speed that he clutched tightly onto Xiao Ruobai's sleeve, his heart a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Finally, he was about to meet the Revered Master behind his Big Brothers, a being of immense power!

However, after flying for about an hour, Xiao Ruobai abruptly controlled the escape light to descend into a desolate mountain valley and entered a cave.

"Big Brother, what's wrong?"

Wang Xiaopang asked, puzzled.

Xiao Ruobai's expression was serious. His Divine Sense meticulously swept the surroundings as he said in a deep voice, "The commotion this time was too great. It's hard to guarantee that no short-sighted old monsters are secretly lurking. Revered Master dislikes trouble, so we absolutely cannot lead any tails back to the Sect."

With that, he was the first to circulate his Cultivation Technique. His facial bones made a series of subtle clicks, his robust figure hunched slightly, and his face became ordinary, even a bit simple and honest. Even the sharp Battle Intent around him completely receded, making him look exactly like a common Loose Cultivator.

Fang Hanyu and Ling Xi also changed their appearances and concealed their auras almost simultaneously, becoming inconspicuous.

Wang Xiaopang watched, dumbfounded. Only then did he understand why his Big Brothers could travel outside without gaining notoriety. This level of caution and skill was something he couldn't hope to match!

He quickly followed suit, cooperating with his transformation jade pendant to become a chubby merchant.

After their makeovers, the four did not return directly but instead detoured to a bustling cultivation mega-city several thousand miles away.

In the city, they changed their makeup and attire three more times, transitioning from merchants to down-and-out Loose Cultivators, and then to small Sect Disciples.

They mingled in the crowded streets, staying for a full day, during which Xiao Ruobai's Divine Sense remained on high alert.

Wang Xiaopang's initial excitement gradually turned into genuine admiration and a touch of helplessness.

"My Big Brothers' actions... are too cautious!"

This was ten times more careful than when he himself was fleeing for his life!

His imagination of the mysterious big shot he had never met grew even grander and more enigmatic.

Just as Xiao Ruobai felt the time was right and was preparing for one last anti-tracking probe, a thought, tinged with a bit of helplessness and amusement, directly sounded in his Sea of Consciousness:

"Alright, stop changing. You're making me dizzy. The tails have long been cleaned up. No one is following. Return quickly."

This voice... it was Senior Xiao Hei!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruobai's tense expression finally completely relaxed, even showing a hint of embarrassment.

He awkwardly cupped his hands towards a certain spot in the Void Realm, then turned to Wang Xiaopang and the other two, saying, "It's fine now. We can go back."

This time, the escape light made no further detours, speeding directly towards the Azure Profound Sect.

Along the way, he occasionally stole glances at Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu in front of him, as well as the cold and peerlessly powerful Ling Xi, his heart churning like boiling water.

"Goodness, I'm really going to see something grand this time!"

He roared internally, "Someone who can casually wipe out the Glazed Holy Land, what kind of world-shaking figure must that be?"

His mind began to frantically paint a picture of the mysterious big shot.

It must be a supreme existence residing in the Nine Heavens Palace, surrounded by Dao, with stars appearing and disappearing with his breath! Perhaps an ancient relic who has lived for countless years, hidden from the world!

Just thinking about meeting this unimaginably magnificent big shot soon, Wang Xiaopang's entire chubby body trembled slightly with excitement.

What moved him even more was that his Big Brothers were taking him directly "home." This clearly meant they didn't treat him as an outsider!

"My Big Brothers trust me so much, I, Wang Xiaopang... no, I, Qin Yuechen, my life is yours from now on!"

He secretly swore, his small eyes filled with the determination of one who would die for a true friend and the excitement of finding a powerful backer.

Just as his heart swelled and he imagined what the immortal realm he was about to see would look like, the escape light's speed gradually slowed, and the scenery below became clear.

"We're here," Xiao Ruobai's calm voice sounded.

"Here?!" Wang Xiaopang jolted, quickly craning his neck to look down, his face full of anticipation and curiosity.

Below, he saw continuous mountain ranges with fairly abundant Spiritual Qi, and a not-small Sect nestled within.

There was no ethereal mist swirling in the sky, no exotic beasts circling guard, no strange phenomena of intertwined Dao. The mountain gate was simple, and Disciples came and went in twos and threes, some sweeping the ground, some practicing swordplay, looking no different from an ordinary Sect.

Wang Xiaopang's excitement and mental fabrications instantly froze, replaced by immense bewilderment and shock, his eyes wide as saucers.

The Nine Heavens Palace, Chaos Secret Realm, and supreme Daoist sanctuary he had imagined were all gone! It was just an ordinary Sect!

"Big Brother?"

Wang Xiaopang stiffly turned his head, looking at Xiao Ruobai, "Did we go to the wrong place? Does His Senior live here?"

How could this unremarkable place be the residence of that big shot?

Xiao Ruobai looked at his surprised chubby face, naturally understanding what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile. He patted his shoulder: "That's right, it's here. Revered Master dislikes ostentation. Follow me."

The group arrived outside the mountain gate. Wang Xiaopang looked up and saw three large characters inscribed in a flowing Dragon and Phoenix style at the top of the mountain gate — Azure Profound Sect.

"Azure Profound Sect?"

These three words were like a thunderclap, instantly splitting open his memory! A scene he had completely forgotten abruptly crashed into his mind —

It was outside the Old Site of the Demon Heaven Sect, where he pointed at the low-key camp of the Azure Profound Sect in the southeast corner, excitedly telling Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu:

"We can keep an eye on them. These guys look pretty rich. Maybe we can be the oriole behind the mantis, hehe..."

At that time, Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu's deathly silence, their complex and inexpressible gazes... "Buzz—"

Wang Xiaopang felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and all the fat on his body froze!

Cold sweat instantly poured out like a waterfall, soaking his clothes!

I... I actually plotted to rob the Disciples of their Sect right in front of my two Big Brothers?!

And behind their Sect was that mysterious powerhouse who could single-handedly wipe out the Glazed Holy Land!

A wave of extreme fear, a dread that came after the fact, seized his heart, almost suffocating him.

At that moment, he was practically dancing wildly at the gates of hell, and he almost dragged his two Big Brothers in with him!

"No wonder Big Brother and Second Brother reacted that way at the time. The fact that they didn't slap me to death on the spot truly makes them my Big Brothers!!"

"They didn't let me go, not because they weren't interested, but clearly to save my dog life!!"

At this moment, Wang Xiaopang's gratitude towards Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu was like a surging river. These two were truly his adoptive parents, his Big Brothers!

"B-Big Brother?"

Wang Xiaopang turned his head, his gaze towards Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu filled with the relief of surviving a disaster, self-conscious shame, and deep gratitude, his voice even tearful.

"Did we really, really not go to the wrong place? Does His Senior really live here?"

Wang Xiaopang couldn't help but confirm again and again.
