Too Wild Swallowing Heaven

Chapter 4844 The Pledge of Allegiance

Ren Yiluo, accompanied by two guards, quickly followed.

Because Zilin City is an inner city, it has no city walls. When you reach the edge of the city, there are several wide roads. Liu Wuxie quickly flew towards one of the main roads.

At first, there were other cultivators on the road, but gradually there was no one left. Suddenly, Liu Wuxie turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

"That kid's trying to run away!"

The Black Dragon Society members following behind Liu Wuxie thought he was going to run away, so they quickly sped up and followed closely behind him, disappearing into the dense forest.

After traveling for nearly a hundred miles, and seeing no one else within a radius of several dozen miles, Liu Wuxie finally stopped.

The ancient city of Tongyu is enormous, containing not only dozens of inner cities, but also mountains, lakes, and even some mountains where giant monsters are kept.

These demonic beasts are raised by the City Lord's Mansion. Their inner cores can be used in medicine, and the City Lord's Mansion can earn a large amount of resources every year by selling these inner cores.

Liu Wuxie stopped in a small canyon, and with the help of the dim starlight, he could see everything around him.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Just as Liu Wuxie stopped, five figures approached from afar and surrounded him.

"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

Liu Wuxie guessed their identities and still asked them a question.

He noticed these people as soon as he stepped out of the inn that morning, but he didn't expect that even after a whole day, they still wouldn't give up.

"Kid, did you kill the four men we sent out last night?"

One of the Black Dragon Society members coldly asked Liu Wuxie.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Liu Wuxie pretended to be confused, knowing full well what was going on; naturally, he wouldn't admit to killing the Black Dragon Society members.

"Kid, whether you admit it or not, you're going to die tonight!"

Zhu the Protector was too lazy to argue with Liu Wuxie. He had been waiting outside all day and had long since lost his patience. He figured that as long as he killed Liu Wuxie and stripped him of his memories, he would know everything.

As soon as he finished speaking!

Zhu Hufa's sharp claws went straight for Liu Wuxie's face. As expected of a Quasi-Saint Level Two expert, his attack was as powerful as thunder.

Liu Wuxie dared not be careless in the slightest. Although he was not afraid of the early stage of Quasi-Saint, it was still best to be cautious in order to avoid being caught off guard.

"call out!"

Just as Protector Zhu made his move, a sharp whooshing sound arrived swiftly, heading straight for Protector Zhu's neck.

It was incredibly fast; no one expected that there was someone else in the shadows.

Liu Wuxie looked in the direction from which the silver needles had been pierced, and several more figures appeared in the canyon.

"Who attacked me!"

Protector Zhu was shocked and quickly dodged to the side. If he were pierced by that silver needle, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Ren Yiluo, accompanied by two attendants, appeared in front of Liu Wuxie and immediately blocked Liu Wuxie behind him.

"Who are you, and why are you interfering in the affairs of our Black Dragon Society?"

Zhu Hufa glanced at Ren Yiluo and his two attendants, and immediately revealed his identity.

Although the Black Dragon Society is not a major gang, it still holds some status in Zilin City, and most people can't afford to mess with it.

"Young Master Liu, are you alright?"

Ren Yiluo did not answer Protector Zhu, but turned around, his gaze falling on Liu Wuxie's face, and asked gently.

"How come you are here?"

Liu Wuxie looked suspicious at Ren Yiluo and the others' appearance. Although he was grateful for her help earlier, their appearance was too strange.

“Yesterday I sent someone to follow Young Master Liu, which was presumptuous of me. I came here early this morning intending to apologize to Young Master Liu, but when I learned that you were reading in the library, I did not go to disturb you. When I learned that you were being chased by the Black Dragon Society, I rushed here immediately. I hope Young Master Liu will not take offense.”

To avoid any misunderstanding, Ren Yilu quickly explained.

After listening to Ren Yiluo's explanation, Liu Wuxie took a serious look at Ren Yiluo. This woman was quite extraordinary to be able to do this.

With her cultivation level, she could have easily suppressed him with force and forced him to do things for her, but she didn't do that. Instead, she came over early in the morning to apologize for what happened yesterday.

This mindset alone sets him far apart from ordinary people.

"Miss, are you going to kill them?!"

The two attendants accompanying them were both top-tier Quasi-Saints, so dealing with a mere Quasi-Saint at the second level was a piece of cake for them.

"Young Master Liu, what's your opinion?"

Ren Yiluo adopted a humble attitude and took the initiative to ask Liu Wuxie for his opinion. If Young Master Liu wanted to kill them to silence them, she would do so. If Young Master Liu let them leave, she would not make things difficult for the Black Dragon Society.

"Is it worth offending the Black Dragon Society for my sake?"

Liu Wuxie did not answer Ren Yiluo. The moment the Black Dragon Society chased after him, he had already marked himself with the death tag. Releasing a tiger back into the mountains would lead to endless troubles. He would definitely kill him to silence him and prevent future problems.

He just couldn't understand what Ren Yiluo's purpose was in doing this, since he and she were just strangers who had met by chance.

"The Black Dragon Society is nothing to our Dragon Smoke Pavilion!"

Ren Yiluo was a smart man and naturally saw the killing intent in Liu Wuxie's eyes. He immediately waved his hand, and two servants quickly rushed towards the five members of the Black Dragon Society.

The battle lasted about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and all five members of the Black Dragon Society were killed.

"This is not the place to talk. May I invite you to a teahouse for a chat?"

Throughout, Ren Yilu remained calm and composed, as if he had killed a few insignificant ants.

"Please!"

Liu Wuxie gestured for him to enter.

The other party killing the Black Dragon Society member was clearly a pledge of allegiance; refusing would seem heartless.

The group quickly returned to Zilin City. Ren Yiluo took Liu Wuxie to a teahouse, asked for a private room, and had the guards stand guard outside. Only Liu Wuxie and Ren Yiluo were left in the private room.

"Young Master Liu, please have a seat!"

After Ren Yiluo sat down, he personally poured tea for Liu Wuxie.

"I'll do it myself!"

Liu Wuxie took the teapot from Ren Yiluo and refilled their teacups.

"To be honest, young master, our Dragon Smoke Pavilion has encountered a problem that only you can solve. If you are willing to help our Dragon Smoke Pavilion, just name your price: resources, beauties, shops, residences, or anything else. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Ren Yiluo looked at Liu Wuxie with a solemn expression.

"Why should you believe me?"

Liu Wuxie picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and looked at Ren Yiluo's face, asking curiously.

"My intuition is always very accurate."

Ren Yilu was also gambling. She didn't have much time left. If Longyan Pavilion didn't improve, her lineage would be completely suppressed.

What do you need me to do?

During their brief time together, Liu Wuxie could sense that Ren Yiluo was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, independent, and decisive in her actions. Once she made up her mind, she would do anything, even risk her life.

Such people are most likely to achieve great things, but they are also most likely to fall from grace.

"Let me tell you about the situation at Longyan Pavilion first!"

Ren Yiluo did not make his own request, but instead pointed out the current predicament of Longyan Pavilion.

From the library, Liu Wuxie only knew that Longyan Pavilion was a property of the Ren family; as for other details, he didn't know much.

As Ren Yiluo slowly explained, Liu Wuxie basically understood the current predicament of Longyan Pavilion.

There are two cultivation centers in Zilin City, namely Longyan Pavilion and Changyun Pavilion, which Ren Yiluo introduced to Liu Wuxie before.

"Our two families have been openly and covertly competing, each using their own methods. Just a month ago, Changyun Pavilion invited a formation master from somewhere and improved the formation of the cultivation room. Whether it is the speed of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth or the purity of condensing blood and qi, it is slightly better than our Longyan Pavilion. After they publicized it, a large number of cultivators from Zilin City went there to test it out. We also sent people to test it out, and the fact is that they are indeed stronger than us. In the same day, the essence of heaven and earth and blood and qi condensed in their cultivation room are about 20% more than ours. As a result, a large number of cultivators abandoned our Longyan Pavilion and went to Changyun Pavilion to cultivate."

Ren Yiluo recounted in detail what had happened over the past month.

Since then, Longyan Pavilion's business has plummeted. Changyun Pavilion took this opportunity to poach several masters from Longyan Pavilion, making things even worse for Longyan Pavilion, which has now reached the point of being unable to make ends meet.

"Since their training rooms are of better quality than those of the Dragon Smoke Pavilion, you can choose to lower your contribution points. I believe many people will still choose the Dragon Smoke Pavilion."

Liu Wuxie asked in confusion.

Dragon Smoke Pavilion could easily lower the contribution point requirement, thus attracting cultivators who cannot enter the cultivation room due to insufficient contribution points.

“We have already reduced our contribution points considerably, but we are still very quiet. The lack of a formation master to maintain the formation’s central hub caused a formation error at Longyan Pavilion, which almost led to an accident. After our investigation, we found that Changyun Pavilion had secretly sent people in to modify the formation without authorization, which caused the formation to fluctuate. This is why we reacted so strongly to Young Master Liu’s modification of the formation.”

Ren Yiluo said with a helpless expression.

Good array masters are extremely hard to find, just like top-tier alchemists; they are rare finds.

"You thought I was also sent by Changyun Pavilion, so you sent people to investigate me in secret."

Liu Wuxie finally understood why Ren Yiluo wanted to investigate him.

"I sincerely apologize to you for my previous rudeness, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Ren Yiluo stood up and apologized to Liu Wuxie again.

"Then when will you be sure I wasn't sent by Changyun Pavilion?"

Liu Wuxie accepted Ren Yiluo's apology, after all, he had indeed modified the formation, and it was reasonable for the other party to investigate.

"Changyun Pavilion would never send such a monstrous genius to Longyan Pavilion. With your talent, how could you possibly be willing to serve Changyun Pavilion?"

When Liu Wuxie gathered the five-colored holy light, Ren Yiluo dispelled her doubts and invited Liu Wuxie, but was rejected by Liu Wuxie that night.

They secretly sent someone to follow Liu Wuxie, actually wanting to find out where Liu Wuxie was staying so they could invite him in a couple of days. However, they encountered members of the Black Dragon Society who wanted to assassinate Liu Wuxie.

How can I help you?

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Liu Wuxie needs to consider what to do next.

Helping Longyan Pavilion is fine, but what benefits he can gain is the key question.

"I hope Young Master Liu can improve the cultivation room of Dragon Smoke Pavilion. I am willing to offer 50,000 contribution points and a top-grade Xuanbao Heavenly Pill to help you break through to the second level of Xuan Saint. Whether you succeed or not, I will offer these rewards."

Ren Yiluo really went all out this time; 50,000 contribution points is no small amount.

Despite the considerable income of Longyan Pavilion, the energy it consumes every day is also extremely terrifying. These 50,000 contribution points represent several months' worth of her income.
