Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 545: Resolving Disputes

Witnessing this scene, Wu Ming's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.

His bold and outspoken act was precisely to create a tense atmosphere, like a stone thrown into water causing ripples, intended to startle the enemy lurking in the shadows.

Based on Elder Fang's previous reminder in the sect, Wu Ming firmly believed that as long as the Blood Fiend Sect elder had not yet stepped out of Baiye County, he would definitely not be able to resist this temptation and would be unable to resist coming to find out.

His ostentatious and attention-grabbing behavior is bound to attract the other party's attention. Once the other party reveals their true colors, he can capture them and complete the sect's mission.

Even though the mysterious Blood Fiend Sect elder wasn't here, what he just said was enough to dispel Qin Tianluo's doubts about him.

This can truly be described as killing two birds with one stone!

"Since Garrison Commander Wu had clues that the Blood Fiend Sect villains had come here, why didn't you inform me sooner?"

If those vicious and wicked people have indeed arrived here as you said, then it will be difficult to determine who the real culprit is who caused the unfortunate death of our sect's elder!

In that case, I admit I acted somewhat impulsively and rashly just now.

Qin Tianlu was certainly not a fool. Seeing that Wu Ming was offering him a way out, how could he be so ungrateful as to ignore it or continue to be stubborn?

So Qin Tianluo followed suit and said something.

"It is truly fortunate that Elder Qin has come to his senses and turned back from his wrong path! We must not allow those treacherous and cunning villains to take advantage of us and succeed in their schemes! Otherwise, if a major disaster occurs, it will surely cause pain to our loved ones and joy to our enemies!"

Seeing that Qin Tianluo had finally understood his good intentions and kind intentions, Wu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then pressed on while the iron was hot.

"What Fellow Daoist Wu said is very true. Just now, I was indeed blinded by anger and lost my mind, which is why I acted so impulsively. I hope Fellow Daoist Wu can forgive me."

Qin Tianlu apologized profusely, his face full of shame.

"Now that you have understood the whole story, let's all lay down our weapons and call a truce."

After the conflict subsided, Wu Ming knew that now was the perfect time to leave, so he immediately turned around and prepared to walk away.

Hearing Wu Ming say this, Xiang Xinghe and Qin Tianlu also began to reassure the cultivators of their respective sects.

Fellow Daoist Wu, this matter was entirely thanks to your help; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! I am deeply grateful!

Seeing Wu Ming turn around and about to leave, Xiang Xinghe hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to leave.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, braced himself, stepped forward, bowed deeply to Wu Ming, and sincerely expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Faced with Xiang Xinghe's polite and slightly obsequious attitude and words, Wu Ming remained unusually calm and composed, even nonchalant—he simply smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying:

Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. It was nothing more than a small favor. Why take it to heart? Actually, I didn't mean to meddle or cause trouble. I just didn't want to see you all arguing and having conflicts over trivial matters, which would affect our harmony!

So... it would be best if we could turn hostility into friendship and live in peace with each other!

Before he finished speaking, Wu Ming had already turned around and continued walking forward.

At the same time, Huang Wenyan and the others who had come with him followed closely behind and filed out.

At this moment, although these people may appear to be nonchalant on the surface, each of them probably harbors a lot of questions in their hearts.

Upon returning to the area where the Huang clan was stationed, Huang Wenyan could no longer suppress his doubts and worries.

He quickly caught up with Wu Ming, who was about to leave, and asked urgently, "Fellow Daoist Wu, please wait! You just mentioned that there are Blood Fiend Sect cultivators here. Is that absolutely true?"

Wu Ming stopped and turned to look at Huang Wenyan. His eyes were firm and resolute, and he nodded without hesitation, replying, "This matter is absolutely true. How could I, Wu, speak so lightly? I would not use such a thing to deceive everyone."

In fact, on the way back to camp just now, Senior Brother Pan Ning had already hinted at the situation to him, indicating that they had indeed noticed something.

That is why Wu Mingfang was able to speak with Huang Wenyan so confidently at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Huang Wenyan frowned and looked worried.

Seeing this, Huang Mingxuan, the eldest elder of the Huang clan, also interjected with concern, "If that's really the case, then this struggle for the treasure will likely be even more unpredictable and fraught with danger! It was already difficult enough facing these major powers to seize the treasure, and now it's even worse..."

"What's there to be afraid of? The Blood Fiend Sect is nothing! There are so many of us here, are we afraid of them? Even if they dare to come knocking on our door, how much trouble can they cause?"

Huang Wenyong responded to his elder's words with a disdainful look, his tone full of contempt and disdain for the Blood Fiend Sect.

However, Huang Mingxuan completely disagreed with this view, and he didn't care that Wu Ming and several other guests were present.

He glared angrily at Huang Wenyong and shouted, "That's utter nonsense! The Blood Fiend Sect is not as easy to deal with as you think!"

Seeing that Huang Wenyong remained unrepentant and stubborn, displaying an indifferent attitude,

Wu Ming had no choice but to step in and smooth things over, saying, "Fellow Daoist Huang, please calm down. What the Grand Elder said is not entirely without basis."

After all, the Blood Fiend Sect is known for its ruthlessness and cunning, and its strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, they may already have some ulterior motive, and might have made thorough preparations to provoke us. Therefore, we must remain highly vigilant and be extra cautious.

Only then did Huang Wenyong realize that his words had been too rash and impulsive, but it was too late to regret it, so he could only obediently bow his head and admit his mistake.

He sincerely assured Huang Mingxuan, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I was just being impulsive and spoke without thinking. I will take this as a warning and be extra careful to guard against the Blood Fiend Sect's every move!"

Seeing that the matter concerning the Blood Fiend Sect had alerted the Huang clan, Wu Ming bowed to everyone in farewell and left with Pan Ning and Chu Nan.

The three remained silent throughout the journey, each pondering how to deal with any potential crises.

When they finally arrived at their own place, Wu Ming, exhausted both physically and mentally, plopped down in a chair and let out a long sigh.

After resting for a while, he asked the two about their discovery of the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators.
