287: Chapter 287 The Supreme Good Man

Ling Hao's figure had just landed in front of the Guest Welcoming Hall on Yingxia Peak when Hall Master Di Yunling's figure appeared behind him.

"My Lord! Something has happened at the Northern Main Rift!"

She spoke rapidly, "Demonic clouds have torn through the sky over the northern part of the Wutong Divine Dynasty, and the Devilish Qi is overwhelming! The specific situation is still under investigation. Also, the Four Great Families of the Wutong Divine Dynasty... I fear they have rebelled!"

Ling Hao's gaze narrowed slightly. He looked into the Guest Welcoming Hall and saw Yue Qianqian, dressed in goose-yellow feathered robes, anxiously pacing around Hua Youyou like an ant on a hot pan.

Hua Youyou was so pestered that her brows were tightly locked, her face full of despair.

This trouble with Su Fengyi had come quickly enough. Ling Hao mused to himself that his warning Jade Slip had likely just been sent out when the Four Great Families couldn't wait to make their move.

"Isn't there a ready-made source of information right here?"

Ling Hao's voice clearly entered the hall.

The anxious Yue Qianqian turned her head abruptly upon hearing the voice. Seeing Ling Hao's figure, her lively almond-shaped eyes instantly erupted with the light of finding a way out of a desperate situation.

"Sect Master Ling! Good Person Supreme!"

Upon seeing Ling Hao, Hua Youyou felt as if she had seen a savior. She let out a long sigh of relief, her face written with the word "liberation." If this little bird kept chirping at her any longer, she was afraid she would be unable to resist casting a silence spell on her!

Yue Qianqian rushed in front of Ling Hao like a gust of wind, grabbed his sleeve, and eagerly tried to pull him outward: "Supreme Good Person! Quick! Quickly come back to the Wutong Divine Dynasty with me! Save my Revered Master and Your Majesty! If we are late, it will be too late!"

Seeing this, Hall Master Di Yunling arched her willow-like eyebrows and stepped forward, intending to reprimand this rude behavior, but was stopped by Ling Hao raising his hand. Ling Hao stood firm as if his feet were rooted to the ground, and no matter how hard Yue Qianqian pulled, she couldn't budge him.

Yue Qianqian was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She looked back at Ling Hao: "Good Person Supreme, Supreme Good Person! Let's go quickly!"

Ling Hao curled his lips helplessly. It seems this title of "Good Person" was completely welded onto him?

He carefully examined Yue Qianqian.

Her goose-yellow feathered robes were stained with dust and several scorch marks. Her hair bun was somewhat disheveled, her small face was covered in grime, and her aura was unstable and chaotic. It was clear she had spared no cost, using some kind of secret technique to travel from the Wutong Divine Dynasty to the Moonshadow Sect in a very short time.

"Don't be anxious."

Ling Hao said in a calm, soothing voice, "You must first tell me exactly what happened so I can decide who to bring and how to respond."

Although he said this, Ling Hao knew in his heart that he would likely have to make this trip. The Moonshadow Sect's current combat power at the Void Refinement Stage, counting everyone, only consisted of five people: Yu Zhaohua, Shui Wanqing, Yu Lingshuang, Yu Linglong, and Chi Shuying.

Although Yu Lingshuang and the others could reach the Early Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage with the Sect's support, they each had their own important tasks. It might be fine against the Heavenly Demons of the True Demon Realm, but if they were to face that Yan Yan Demon Ancestor, this strength would still be insufficient.

Ultimately, the Sect's top combat power still needed time to accumulate...

Infected by his calm tone, Yue Qianqian managed to suppress her anxiety and spoke quickly: "It's the Four Great Families! They suddenly launched an attack, broke the thousand-layer formation protecting the Wutong Divine Tree, and forcibly took the heart of the Wutong Divine Tree! They also wanted to force their way into Fengqi Palace to kill my Revered Master! My Revered Master sent me out with a secret technique to seek help! She said... Your Majesty might also be in big trouble! Good Person Supreme, hurry..."

Ling Hao sharply interrupted her, "Wait, isn't Your Majesty Su Fengyi a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Heavenly Venerate? Can she not suppress the Four Great Families?"

"It's the True Demon Realm!" Yue Qianqian said anxiously, "The Northern Main Rift suddenly erupted, and Your Majesty and the Old Ancestors of the Four Great Families went to suppress it. But those four old thieves, taking advantage of the moment Her Majesty was entangled by an extremely powerful Heavenly Demon, suddenly turned their weapons against her and then went straight back to Wutong City! Your Majesty is being held back by the True Demon Realm! Supreme Good Person, hurry back with me to save my Revered Master and Your Majesty!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ling Hao with eager eyes.

Looking at the hope in her eyes, Ling Hao nodded slowly and said, "Alright, I will go with you."

Yue Qianqian was overjoyed and immediately tried to pull Ling Hao again.

"Youyou," Ling Hao turned to Hua Youyou, his tone becoming serious, "Immediately go notify Deputy Sect Master Ling Shuang, and assist her in ordering the entire War Hall to enter a Level 1 combat readiness state, ready to provide reinforcements at any time!"

"Yes!" Hua Youyou solemnly accepted the order, and her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Ling Hao was pulled outward by Yue Qianqian. Hall Master Di Yunling followed closely behind, earnestly saying, "My Lord, your subordinate is willing to accompany you! The affairs of the Siwen Hall can be temporarily handed over to an assistant; your subordinate might be able to handle some miscellaneous tasks..."

She now had Body Integration Stage Level 7 cultivation, and within the Sect's territory, she could fully exert the strength of Void Refinement Stage Level 7, which was more than enough for self-protection.

Just as Ling Hao was about to weigh the decision, a water-blue stream of light quietly descended, accompanied by a unique scent mixing the cold fragrance of rain hitting green bamboo and the faint, fishy sweetness of the Yellow Springs.

Shui Wanqing appeared gracefully, her water-blue wide-sleeved flowing cloud dress fluttering gently in the wind. Her black hair was loosely tied, a white jade bamboo-joint hairpin inserted at an angle, and the faint blue water patterns on her neck seemed to deepen slightly due to emotional fluctuation. She looked at Ling Hao, her voice gentle as a spring. "Sect Master."

Ling Hao said with slight surprise, "Grand Elder Shui? Shouldn't you be off looking for Niece Liuli?" He glanced at Hall Master Di Yunling.

Hall Master Di Yunling quickly explained, "Reporting to My Lord, when I delivered the Jade Slip to Grand Elder Shui's Immortal Cave, the Grand Elder was in seclusion consolidating her cultivation, and the Jade Slip was received by the Disciple on duty. Your subordinate was unable to meet the Grand Elder in person."

Shui Wanqing nodded slightly, "That is correct. I just came out of seclusion, saw the information on the Jade Slip, and immediately came to find the Sect Master. I have already informed Sect Master Chi (Chi Shuying) about this matter. I came here to inform the Sect Master that I will be setting off for the Wutong Divine Dynasty to look for someone."

Ling Hao's gaze fell upon Shui Wanqing's beautiful, jade-like face. Remembering the intimate contact when he previously suppressed her Yellow Spring Holy Body, as well as the "coincidental" appearances during her lectures later on, the thin, ambiguous veil between them seemed to become a little clearer.

A trace of a smile played on the corners of his mouth, "What a coincidence. This young lady, Yue Qianqian, is here seeking help from the Wutong Divine Dynasty, and I am about to go with her to deal with the rebellion of the Four Great Families and the strange movements of the True Demon Realm. Since Grand Elder Shui is also going to the Wutong Divine Dynasty, why not travel together? It would be good to look out for each other."

Sensing the warmth in his gaze, the water patterns on Shui Wanqing's neck fluctuated, and she lowered her eyes and replied, "That would be fine."

In that spring-like voice, there seemed to be a hint of joy.

Yue Qianqian, who was to the side, saw Ling Hao talking to another elegant and peerless female immortal again and stomped her feet in anxiety, "Supreme Good Person! Let's go quickly! If we are any later, my Revered Master will..."

Shui Wanqing cast a slightly surprised look. This little Yao Race girl dared to so rudely tug on the sleeve of a Mahayana Supreme? And the way she addressed him was so... peculiar?

Ling Hao gave Shui Wanqing a helpless smile, "Forgive her, she is burning with anxiety."

He then turned to Hall Master Di Yunling, who was looking at him with anticipation, and said gently, "It is enough for Grand Elder Shui to accompany me. As the Hall Revered Master of the Siwen Hall, your responsibilities are significant. You need to sit in the center, command the overall situation, and summarize, organize, and analyze all intelligence transmitted back from the direction of the Wutong Divine Dynasty. Only with a stable rear can the front be free of worries."

A flash of disappointment crossed Hall Master Di Yunling's eyes, but she immediately suppressed it and bowed respectfully, "Yes! This subordinate understands! I will certainly not fail the task entrusted to me by My Lord!"

Ling Hao said to Shui Wanqing and the impatient Yue Qianqian, "There is no time to lose, let's go!"
