With the testimony of the old disciples, everyone was finally forced to face reality.
That is the girl, who is not from the same world as them.
As frogs in the well, they looked down on others unilaterally. In fact, the girl disdained them and killing them was as easy as crushing an ant.
Even Brother Biao, who will join them in the future, will be far ahead of them because of his extraordinary talent.
At this time, Wu Xingxiao, who was splashed with water on his face at the table, was also confused.
He knew that Ye Lan was very strong and was the last disciple of the Medical Immortal, but he never thought that the other party could be so strong.
"She didn't even use her internal energy, and she was able to achieve such an effect just by relying on her cultivation in the Immortal Mountain." He was filled with emotion, and at the same time, he remembered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Since Miss Ye has reached such a realm, can Ah Heng also achieve it?!"
After all, they all practiced in the fairy mountain together.
"Yes." Ye Lan gave an affirmative answer, saying without bias: "Although he can't beat me, it's still easy to break this device. Before returning, Wu Heng had already become a disciple of Xianshan."
What?
"That's great!" Wu Xingxiao got another unexpected surprise and was so happy that he almost lost his mind. He immediately ordered the deputy sect leader to hold a banquet in the evening and let all the disciples gather together to celebrate.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The deputy sect leader walked over with brisk steps, and his back showed a sense of high spirits.
The Wu family has a new young master who is a disciple of the Medical Immortal, which is a great thing for them.
After Wu Xingxiao finished his joy, he finally calmed down and bowed solemnly to Ye Lan, saying, "Patriarch Ye, I have an unwelcome request. I hope you can consider it."
He used the word "consider" instead of "agree", and since there was no one around and he still used the old respectful title, Ye Lan knew he was going to get to the point.
"You say." She said calmly from the other side of the wet table.
Wu Xingxiao kept his hands on his shoulders, his head lowered, staring at the dripping water. His voice was hoarse and suppressed, "My Wu family is preparing to officially declare war on Peach Blossom Island. I hope that Patriarch Ye will participate in any way and lend a helping hand to my Wu family!"
The Wu family has never forgotten the hatred of seizing the island and the revenge of kidnapping their relatives in the past ten years, and they are determined to get revenge.
Ye Lan was not surprised at all when he heard this. His expression remained unchanged as he said, "So you opened your doors wide and spread the word to the public to recruit disciples because of this war."
This is a statement, not a question.
"Indeed, ever since your accident, my father and I have been planning something." Wu Xingxiao clenched his fists and laid out his plan directly. "A lot of outsiders have come to Peach Blossom Island over the years, and their offspring aren't very talented. So, I wanted to follow the Wu family's example and find a superior bloodline to inherit. Although we're a motley bunch, there's strength in numbers. I'm worried that a few of the Wu family might be outmatched if they come to the island, so I want to train a group of disciples to act together."
Of course, this is also to keep the fire alive for the Wu family.
If this revenge attempt fails and they all die on Peach Blossom Island, then at least there are still some people in the sect who can continue to guard Kunpeng at Feitian Ferry, recuperate, and wait for a comeback.
Ye Lan also understood how desperate Wu Xingjie was to hear the news of his own death, and even how he wanted to perish along with Peach Blossom Island, so he was not surprised to hear the whole plan.
Wu Xingxiao gritted his teeth, his head still drooping. "I know this request is unreasonable. I was already completely disheartened, thinking there was no point in us both persevering for so many years. But now Xingjie can stand up again, and Ah Heng has returned home. I really... can't accept this."
He was reluctant to give up the family happiness that he had finally waited for.
But the war with Peach Blossom Island is imminent and must be launched. Whether it is the hatred for Wu Heng's mother Ji, or the hatred for being usurped by her, they must seek revenge.
"Master Wu, you get up first."
A hand reached out from the air and straightened his body. The girl looked slender, but in fact she was extremely strong. Wu Xingxiao couldn't resist her and could only look up.
I thought the situation was hopeless and was feeling a little lost, but I saw a faint smile on the girl's usually calm face.
"I have a third mission on this trip." Her cool voice was like the wind blowing through tree branches in March, its gentleness seeming to bring vitality to people. Between her lips and teeth, she said, "That is to help the Wu family reclaim Peach Blossom Island."
Wu Xingxiao suddenly opened his eyes wide, his throat rolling up and down, and his eyes almost became wet again.
He remembered that ten years ago, at the same age, Ye Lan came to visit him for the first time.
At that time, Wu Xingjie's legs were crippled and he had just been sent back to Feitian Ferry after suffering a series of major changes. When he saw his son's miserable condition, it would be a lie to say that he had no hatred towards Xuanzong and Ye Lan.
But when the girl, wearing a long embroidered robe, came down from Kunpeng's back, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, which made him feel unbearable.
"Sorry, I'm late."
As the leader of a sect, she bowed and apologized to Wu Xingxiao in front of the door.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the only skin exposed under the other person's high collar was also wrapped in gauze, and there was a hint of blood in it.
The injury that prevented the Xuanzong clan leader from stopping bleeding for a month must be a matter of life and death. Judging from his breath, he should be bedridden and unable to move.
The girl came here with one strong breath.
She offered to help Wu Xingjie treat his leg, but unfortunately it was of no use even though she vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
"Forget it, Patriarch Ye. Even your master, Senior Medical Immortal, was helpless against the evil energy above. You... don't have to force it."
Even he could see that the girl was trying her best to save his son.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Even she was hurt to this extent, how could he bear to blame her.
Later, before leaving, the girl left a few words.
"I will send someone to negotiate with the grandson of Lord Wumen."
"I will find a way to heal Master Wu's leg."
"As for Peach Blossom Island, I will definitely return it to you in my lifetime."
These three sentences sounded light and airy in the girl's weak voice, as if they would be blown away by the wind.
But later, news came from Peach Blossom Island that they would make Wu Heng the young master and give him the place to enter the Immortal Mountain. After he came of age, they would return Peach Blossom Island to Wu Heng.
The ancient martial arts world has never interfered in the affairs of the martial arts world. Wu Xingxiao didn't know how much effort the girl had put into it, but for the first time he felt sincere gratitude and had expectations for the three things she mentioned.
Now ten years have passed, and unexpectedly, time has passed, things have changed, and the girl has even changed her body but still remembers her original promise. Wu Xingxiao was moved and admired the girl's character.
Now that they had reached a consensus, Wu Xingxiao explained the number and strength of his own troops.
Ye Lan led Xuanzong in battles of all sizes and quickly pointed out several shortcomings. He also asked him to prepare some additional things. After everything went smoothly, Wu Xingxiao saw the entire plan taking shape and gradually becoming more perfect, and he felt that it was the right choice for him to recruit the girl.
