After returning to the mortal world, Yun Fan decided to relocate the entire Ghost Valley Sect to the Shen Nong Small World.
In his view, it was a natural defense base, even though many were reluctant to leave.
However, it was unavoidable. Staying in Jiangnan was not secure, especially after Zhu Wun Jiang's reminder, which solidified Yun Fan's decision.
The Shen Nong Small World offered greater safety compared to the outside. However, this was not Yun Fan's primary concern. Su Dan Novel Network.
What he valued was the spiritual energy within the small world, which was no weaker than that of the Feng Shan land.
Upon entering, the cultivation of the women there would likely see substantial progress.
Of course, there were still many dangerous areas within the small world, so Yun Fan left Xiao Bai behind.
Aside from the strange entity he had dealt with previously, Xiao Bai was practically a powerhouse within the Shen Nong Small World.
Although he also needed Xiao Bai's help, for now, the aura of the Champion Marquis had not completely dissipated and could temporarily suppress the awakening of powerful individuals.
After arranging everything, Yun Fan returned to Jiangnan. Everyone else could leave, but he could not, for he was to stand with the common people.
He fought alongside the Heavenly Emperor. Though he felt loneliness and desolation here, missions often came with solitude.
However, he was unaware that at this very moment, Qing Ming had also arrived in the mortal world.
...
"My lord, are you sure about activating this powerhouse?"
Within the research base at Feng Shan land, Yin Chan's subordinate asked. After all, this powerhouse was of immense significance.
If activated without authorization, it could lead to unmanageable consequences, and they would surely be punished. Even Yin Chan might not be able to mitigate the repercussions.
However, Yin Chan was not contemplating such matters. He directly stated, "Activate him and send him to the Great Wilderness. I want him to slaughter his way through!"
"Yes!"
As his subordinate was about to act, Yin Chan reminded him, "Remember, no one must know that this was done by us from Feng Shan land!"
"Understood!"
At this moment, a cold smile flickered in Yin Chan's eyes. Although this action was not reported to the Zen Master,
He knew the Zen Master would approve of his plan. Soon, a peerless War God would emerge, eradicating the Great Wilderness. Most importantly, he would kill Yun Fan.
He harbored an intense hatred for this young man. Therefore, he specifically instructed people to implant memories of hatred into the War God's mind.
Once this War God awakened, he would seek revenge against Yun Fan.
...
Jin Ling.
After concluding his discussion with the Heavenly Emperor, Yun Fan was about to return to the Ye family to see his parents. Though most people had departed, his parents had not. Just then, a figure descended.
This startled Yun Fan greatly.
"Senior, why have you come?"
Yun Fan had not expected Qing Ming to visit the mortal world, nor had he anticipated being found so quickly.
Qing Ming spoke coldly, "What? You don't welcome me?"
"Not at all! I am overjoyed at your esteemed presence!"
Yun Fan said against his will. In truth, he truly did not welcome the violent Qing Ming!
But given her seniority and immense power, he had no choice but to accept.
"How has the task I assigned you progressed?"
She asked Yun Fan coldly.
Yun Fan replied with difficulty, "Senior, I was just about to investigate!"
"Hmph!"
Qing Ming grabbed Yun Fan by the collar. "I see you haven't taken my instructions to heart at all!"
"It's a false accusation, Senior!"
Yun Fan said dejectedly, "I just returned, and you followed right behind. No matter how fast I am, I couldn't have prepared everything instantly!"
Qing Ming considered this. Indeed, Yun Fan had only arrived in the mortal world yesterday, and she had come today.
She then said to Yun Fan, "My time is limited. Go and do my bidding first!"
This was because Qing Xuan's emotional tribulation was worsening, prompting her to come to the mortal world. Now, all hope rested on Yun Fan.
Yun Fan quickly nodded, "I can, but I must see my parents first!"
"I'll go with you!"
Qing Ming stated directly. She feared Yun Fan might sneak away. However, Yun Fan wished he could say he wasn't that kind of person.
Upon arriving at the Ye family.
"My child, the ancestral tablets are almost packed. We are leaving. Yaochi will pick us up in the small world!"
Shui Qian Qian reminded Yun Fan, "Be extremely careful in the mortal world. If necessary, come to the small world. Don't force yourself if you can't handle it!"
As a mother, she naturally hoped Yun Fan could withstand the dark era ravaging China. But if he truly couldn't, it wasn't shameful. At worst, he could lie low and develop.
Yun Fan nodded, "Don't worry, Mom! I won't be reckless!"
"Mmm!"
Shui Qian Qian nodded and was about to say more to Yun Fan when, at that moment, she saw Qing Ming approaching.
"My child, is she your woman?"
Shui Qian Qian immediately asked, puzzled. She didn't understand what was happening with her son, why he seemed to be increasingly attracted to mature women.
Was Ye Ji not enough? Now, another one had appeared.
Instantly, Qing Ming's expression darkened, but she didn't erupt.
Yun Fan quickly explained, "Mom, you misunderstood. She's a senior! The martial aunt of my second senior sister!"
"Oh!"
Shui Qian Qian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing she had misunderstood. She had wondered how her son's taste had become so discerning.
Although Qing Ming was beautiful and imposing, she still preferred her son not to be involved with older women.
Afterward, Long Ao Tian also arrived. Although he harbored doubts, he did not voice them. Once the elders were finally sent off, Yun Fan said to Qing Ming, "Senior, let's go!"
"Hmph!"
Qing Ming snorted. "You have three days. If you don't get the result I want within three days, I'll kill you!"
Yun Fan was utterly speechless. This matter didn't seem to concern him, yet he had become a scapegoat. He felt incredibly wronged.
However, just as the two were preparing to leave Jin Ling and follow Qing Xuan's trail, Lin Wu Shuang hurried over.
Since Lin Wu Di's death, Lin Wu Shuang had lived in seclusion for a while. Later, when the dark era arrived, he volunteered to assist the Heavenly Emperor, contributing his humble efforts for the sake of all living beings.
"Brother Yun, it's only been a short while, and you've changed women again?"
Lin Wu Shuang asked in confusion, then immediately shut his mouth, having spoken too hastily.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan didn't get angry. Just as he was about to explain, he noticed Qing Ming's icy gaze, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Qing Ming was extremely frustrated internally. How many women did this boy have? She, the dignified Sect Master, was following Yun Fan, which felt utterly humiliating.
If it weren't for the need to find that person, she would have left immediately.
"Ahem, you've misunderstood!"
Yun Fan quickly changed the subject. "Are you looking for me for something?"
Lin Wu Shuang immediately replied, "Brother Yun, the intelligence department sent over a video and photos. This person is suspicious. All we can determine for now is that this individual is extremely powerful!"
With that, he handed his phone to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan opened it and his expression changed instantly.
"Senior, look!"
He said, handing the phone to Qing Ming, who was still fuming internally.
Hearing Yun Fan address Qing Ming as "Senior," Lin Wu Shuang was startled. Fortunately, he had immediately quieted down earlier, or he would have been in danger.
Qing Ming took the phone and immediately said, "How did he revive?"
"What do you mean?"
At this point, Qing Ming said, "He was the most infamous War God from the Three Kingdoms era. He was invincible in life, and a wisp of his vitality remained after death. His body was recovered by the Zen Master's lineage. We thought he had perished in the river of time, but he has unexpectedly revived and come to the Great Wilderness!"
"War God Lu Bu?"
Yun Fan asked.
"That's right!"
Qing Ming said with a grave expression, "His arrival in the Great Wilderness will likely stir up a bloodbath!"
He would not have come to the mortal world without reason. In Qing Ming's opinion, the Zen Master's lineage was likely involved.
Yun Fan said, "It seems, Senior, that I may not be able to help you for the time being!"
Qing Ming understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately said, "This matter cannot be delayed. I will help you deal with this person, and then I will go find my target!"
"Do you have confidence, Senior?"
Yun Fan asked expectantly.
However, Qing Ming shook her head. "I have no guarantee, but I can try!"
Initially, she did not want to get involved in the Zen Master's lineage's conspiracy. However, at this time, for her junior sister's sake, she had no choice but to reluctantly help Yun Fan.
"Then thank you, Senior!"
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't thank me yet. If you can't find the culprit, I will still kill you!"
Qing Ming said coldly.
"Understood!"
Yun Fan promised, "Senior, I will do whatever it takes to find the culprit and tear them to pieces!"
At this moment, Yun Fan wasted no further time. He knew this War God was incredibly powerful, so he did not rush.
Instead, he first refined the inner core left by Xiao Bai after he dealt with the ferocious demonic beasts.
After refining the inner core, Yun Fan's realm did not increase; he remained at the peak of the Dao Questioning realm. However, it was undeniable that he now possessed the combat power of the Divine Refining realm.
Afterward, guided by the intelligence department, he and Qing Ming arrived at a city outside Jin Ling.
This was because the War God was currently outside this city.
The War God had not engaged in any slaughter or harvested any life essence from the populace. Therefore, Yun Fan intended to negotiate with him.
It would be better if no fighting occurred, as he did not wish to see the common people suffer.
"Are you sure you want to negotiate?"
Qing Ming reminded him, "This person is already controlled by Feng Shan land. Your attempt to negotiate is likely futile!"
"How will we know if we don't try?"
Yun Fan said, "Senior, I will go and negotiate. If it fails, you can launch a surprise attack from the shadows!"
"Despicable!"
Qing Ming had no respect for Yun Fan's character, but Yun Fan didn't care. If he could resolve the dark turmoil through despicable means,
He would rather be a despised villain throughout history than watch the common people suffer.
Just then, Yun Fan approached the War God, whose eyes were chaotic. Before he could speak, the War God turned and fixed his gaze on him.
"Diao Chan, where is my Diao Chan?"
This scene completely stunned Yun Fan. "Wrapped around your waist?"
The next moment, the altered memories of the War God surged. In his memories, his Diao Chan had been killed by Yun Fan.
Thus, he immediately roared at Yun Fan, "Give me back my Diao Chan!"
"This damn..."
Yun Fan was speechless. He had expected a peaceful negotiation, but the other party immediately attacked with deadly force, charging at him as if they had a deep-seated hatred.
"I will kill you to avenge my Diao Chan!"
"Boom!"
With a single blow, Yun Fan was forced back repeatedly.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, his blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The other party's combat power was at its peak.
Yun Fan quickly pleaded for help, "Senior, act quickly!"
At this moment, Qing Ming, who had been lying in ambush, emerged and attacked the War God with a sword.
It had to be said that her strength was also terrifying. This sword strike almost severed the War God at the waist.
However, at the critical moment, he blocked it with his Heaven-Shattering Halberd.
"Slash!"
The War God leaped into the air and then slashed down directly.
"Bang!"
The weapons collided, and Qing Ming was forced back, looking somewhat disheveled. But before she could recover, the War God charged at her again.
Seeing this, Yun Fan was shocked. It seemed he had underestimated Qing Ming's strength. Setting aside raw power, she was not weaker than the War God.
Under the influence of the implanted memories, the War God's mind was completely muddled. At this moment, only two objectives remained in his mind.
First, to kill all enemies in the world. Second, to kill Yun Fan and avenge his Diao Chan.
"Break!"
Yun Fan punched the War God's back, and then Qing Ming pierced the War God's spiritual core with her sword.
Just when it seemed the battle was decided, the War God roared and entered a complete blackened state.
After blackening, the War God possessed the strength of a half-step Mahayana stage.
At this moment, Yin Chan, who was rushing from Feng Shan land to witness the War God's slaughter, unexpectedly saw Qing Ming.
"Why is this woman in the mortal world?"
Yin Chan was surprised that Qing Ming was not only in the mortal world but also helping the enemy fight the War God.
He even suspected that Qing Ming, unable to endure her loneliness, had come to find Yun Fan, this gigolo. But today, it was convenient to capture Qing Ming as well.
