If Wang Yi was here, he would definitely be shocked.

He had previously used his spiritual power to investigate the entire peach forest, but he did not discover any signs of powerful creatures.

Unexpectedly, a peak-level Rank-9 creature walked out of the mutated Lightning Rod Tree and appeared in the peach forest.

With Wang Yi’s current strength and spiritual power, even a Connate Venerable might not be able to escape Wang Yi’s spiritual power detection if they did not hide their aura with all their might, let alone a peak-level Rank-9 creature.

However, this peak-level Rank-9 creature had used some unknown method to hide from Wang Yi’s spiritual power detection. This was a little terrifying.

The peak-level Rank-9 creature, who had just appeared, was still looking in the direction where Wang Yi and Su Shiya had disappeared with an extremely terrified expression.

Then, it turned to look at the mutated Lightning Rod Tree that had already turned bald, as if it had thought of something terrifying.

Its body immediately trembled like a leaf, and the fear on its face intensified. There was even an indescribable sense of despair.

It did not dare to stay here for long and directly sped toward the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

It turned out that it belonged to the Heaven-Breaking Peak, under Demon Venerable Tiandu.

Now, Wang Yi’s previous doubts could be explained.

Since the Heaven-Breaking Peak had sent beasts to guard this place, it meant that Demon Venerable Tiandu had already paid attention to this place.

An item that a Connate Demon Venerable insisted on obtaining was probably something that only Venerable Ning Jing, who was at the same level, could compete with.

As for Rank-9 living beings, they were not qualified at all.

The area within 5,000 kilometers of the peach forest had probably long become a forbidden area. Not only were humans unable to approach this place, but even the beasts were forbidden from entering.

It was only because Wang Yi was strong enough that he brought Su Shiya along and accidentally barged into this place.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have been killed on the spot before they could even approach the peach forest.

That was why the peach forest had yet to be discovered.

It was not yet noon.

Wang Yi and Su Shiya stepped on the flower phantom and could already see the shadow of a huge city in the distance.

The flower phantom seemed to possess the speed of this world as it instantly streaked across endless space and distance.

Just now, they could only see the outline of the huge city in the distance. In the blink of an eye, they had already appeared in the sky above the huge city.

Wang Yi had never personally been to Langya County City and did not know the way to the Venerable Palace.

However, he could sense that it was in the center of the giant city, where a cold sword intent shot into the sky like a lighthouse in the night. It was dazzling and obvious.

There was no doubt about it.

Only Venerable Ning Jing could possess such a terrifying sword intent.

Wang Yi did not hesitate. He rode the flower phantom and led Su Shiya toward the location he had sensed.

At the main entrance of the Venerable Palace…

Wu Shuang led a group of martial artists and waited from morning until almost noon. Looking at the street closest to the Venerable Palace, that familiar figure had yet to appear. She could not help but feel nervous. Could it be that Venerable Wang Yi was not coming?

If that were the case, she would be in trouble!

She was the one who had personally told Venerable Ning Jing about this. She had also brought back the visiting card.

If Venerable Ning Jing was stood up, it would not affect Wang Yi’s status. However, as someone who had deceived and teased a Venerable, Wu Shuang would not be able to avoid harsh punishment.

“Master Wu Shuang, look! What’s that in the sky? It’s a huge flower!”

Just as Wu Shuang was feeling anxious, someone behind her pointed at the sky and shouted.

“No! No! There are also two people on the flowers.”

“They’re flying in the air! That is a technique that only the Venerable can use. Could it be that the Venerable of Cang City has personally come with his wife?”

Wu Shuang heard him…

She hurriedly raised her head and looked into the sky. Only when she saw the person standing on the flower phantom did she relax.

Thank goodness!

Venerable Wang Yi had finally arrived.

Wu Shuang waved at the martial artists behind her. Everyone immediately understood and stood up straight in an orderly line.

At this moment, Wang Yi held Su Shiya’s hand and slowly descended to the ground. Then, the flower phantom disappeared.

When Wu Shuang and the others saw this, they hurriedly bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, “We welcome Lord Venerable and Madam Venerable.”

Wang Yi’s gaze swept across everyone. He turned around gently and chuckled. “Everyone, there’s no need to be so polite.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a white figure flash past their eyes.

The white-robed Venerable Ning Jing appeared in front of Wang Yi as if she had teleported.

She cupped her fists and smiled. “Greetings, Fellow Daoist. Welcome to Langya County City with your wife.”

Upon seeing this, Wang Yi also cupped his fists in return. “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, you’re too polite.”

“Fellow Daoist, since you’ve invited me so kindly, I should visit you personally.”

Venerable Ning Jing turned slightly and extended her hand to the two of them in invitation. She smiled and said, “Please…”

Wang Yi and Su Shiya nodded slightly and followed Venerable Ning Jing into the Venerable Palace.

In the main hall…

Everyone took their seats. Wu Shuang dispersed all the waiters and personally made tea to serve the three of them.

Wang Yi took out a can of tea leaves and a hundred fruits from the mutated Lightning Rod Tree from the system space.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the tea leaves and fruits floated toward the main seat where Venerable Ning Jing was sitting.

Then, Wang Yi said, “I left in a hurry and didn’t prepare enough. I hope Fellow Daoist Ning Jing doesn’t mind my humble gifts.”

According to Wang Yi’s habits in his previous life, he could not show up for a visit empty-handed. He had to prepare some gifts.

The ancient tea trees at home had already ripened. Wang Yi had only planned to bring some tea leaves over. That was all that mattered.

In any case, with Venerable Ning Jing’s status, unless it was a treasure that could greatly increase the strength of Connate experts, she did not lack ordinary martial arts resources.

However, he followed Su Shiya into the peach forest halfway through their journey.

From the mutated Lightning Rod Tree, he obtained many fruits that could help peak-level Rank-9 grandmasters complete their qualitative change and even help Connate experts temper their bodies.

In any case, Wang Yi could not use too many of them, so he decided at the last minute to take some out as a gift when visiting Venerable Ning Jing.

Venerable Ning Jing was not too shocked by Wang Yi’s method of producing things out of thin air. At her level, she naturally knew some secrets that ordinary people did not.

Legend had it that there was a treasure that could accommodate objects countless times larger than itself.

Her gaze swept across the ‘small gifts’ that Wang Yi mentioned. When she saw the black peaches, she couldn’t take her eyes off them.

She still hadn’t opened the pot of tea leaves, but she could sense that it contained an extremely special energy. It was definitely a true treasure.
