Yanran Qingcheng said, "Sister Ni Feng and I are at the God-Sealing Realm here, and Sister Xingyao is at the Sky-Sealing Realm. Why don't the three of us accompany you? We can look out for each other."
Ming Zhi Tian stood up and said solemnly, "Stop talking. Gu Hongchang has an alien realm that suppresses cultivation. This has nothing to do with cultivation levels. I'll go alone. I've decided, and no one is allowed to mention it again."
Seeing this, the seven women could only comply, not daring to say more. They were virtuous and would not contradict Ming Zhi Tian, only to avoid burdening him.
For three days, Ming Zhi Tian used the remaining eight million Divine Martial coins from his storage bag to purchase a vast array of mechanical equipment, Xuan Tie, Xuan Gang, and Xuan Yin. He was busy everywhere, setting up various mechanisms in the courtyard of Jueshi Jiating, which were more than enough to fend off masters of the Asura Realm.
At night, Ming Zhi Tian felt lonely. Looking at the women beside him, he lay on the sofa and said, "Who will sleep with me tonight?"
Yanran Qingcheng said, "I'll go back to my room."
Ouyang Ni Feng said, "Husband, you're too naughty. You're already thinking about that before we're even married. You ungrateful wretch." She also returned to her room.
Jie Qingxia pulled Yan Fei's reluctant hand, "Fei'er, what are you looking at? There's none for you." They returned to their rooms together.
Xiao Mi Rui said, "It's getting late. I'm going to sleep too." She stood up and left.
Only Ren Xingyao and Yan Lixue were left looking at each other. Ren Xingyao's face instantly turned red. "I... I'm going back to my room."
She fled as if escaping. Ming Zhi Tian looked at Yan Lixue affectionately, "My dear Xue'er, you're the best."
Yan Lixue pushed away his hand reaching for her. "Husband, I'm on my period..."
"..."
Three days later, everything was ready. Even if enemies attacked, they could hold them off for some time.
The seven women, dressed beautifully, stood at the entrance of Jueshi Jiating. Yan Lixue said, "Husband, do you really not need us to follow you?"
Ming Zhi Tian shook his head. "You are all my spiritual pillars. I don't want anything to happen to you. Manage things well at home and wait for my return."
"Bake, Sky Eagle, take good care of them."
"Roar~"
"Quack quack."
...
Arriving at the Five Peaks Sect, Ming Zhi Tian had lost count of how many times he had been there. Tian Nan Jie took him to tear open a spatial rift and enter Gu Hongchang.
"You're finally here? Sect Master Tian Nan, everyone is waiting for you. Who exactly did you bring that you insist we wait for..." Shi Ying Sect Master Xiao Le said indignantly.
Upon seeing who it was, and looking around Tian Nan Jie, confirming only Ming Zhi Tian was present, Xiao Le became even more displeased. "I thought we were waiting for some important figure, but it's just a martial cultivator. Hmph!"
Kaisan Sect Master Bai Lingyue also looked displeased. "Sect Master Tian Nan, if I may be so bold, I also think this is inappropriate. He is not a member of any sect and is not suitable to participate in this Four Directions Sect Trial Competition."
Tian Nan Jie said, "Everyone has a responsibility to deal with the Demonic Sect. Moreover, he is participating as my representative."
Xiao Le snorted, "You're twisting the facts. A martial cultivator expelled from the sect, and you call him back. What is the meaning of this? Does the Grand Sect Master know?"
Tian Nan Jie said, "I have reported to the Grand Sect Master. Now, let them in."
"You!..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Le sneered. "The Demonic Sect is imminent, and the Four Directions Grand Sect Masters are all in seclusion in conflict. Don't tell me you haven't even seen the Grand Sect Master, let alone us. Don't think I don't know what you're plotting, Tian Nan Jie?!"
Tian Nan Jie directly summoned his heavenly-grade artifact, the Aurora Sword, and pointed it at Xiao Le, saying, "Move aside."
Xiao Le remained unmoved. "The sects of Wanli Senmu, Lanshan Hai, and Dihai Five Cities have already entered. Only our Qishan Zhang Tianyue remains. For an outsider, you're putting on quite a show. If we miss the opportunity, Tian Nan Jie, can you bear the responsibility?"
