As Jiang Lingyue, who also practiced the first two moves of the Mountain Splitting Finger, felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw that attack, even though it was much stronger than her clumsy version.

But at that moment, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity emerged.

Among those present, the only ones who had trained in the Mountain Splitting Finger were herself... and her brother-in-law, Lu Ye!

She hadn't taken action, nor did she have the power to injure someone at the Innate Fifth Layer with a single strike.

So... there was only one truth!

Staring intently at her, Jiang Lingyue was suddenly fixated on her, Lu Ye maintained an indifferent expression.

He could possibly fool others like Su Wan, but he didn't have much confidence.

However, when it came to dealing with Jiang Lingyue... Lu Ye had at least eighteen ways to solve the problem.

This person had hardly used her brain normally, it was probably already rusty.

Knowing that others were still around and unable to ask Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue retracted her gaze, but felt an itch in her heart.

A moment later, Su Wan returned to the carriage, slightly apologetic: "Sorry, I'm not a match for that person. If it weren't for someone's help, we might have been in danger today."

"Sister Su Wan, it's okay, you're already amazing. That person is at the Innate Fifth Layer, a level above you." Seeing this, Jiang Lingyue quickly comforted her.

Nearby, Lu Ye looked at Su Wan, but he knew that the "danger" she mentioned was probably just a polite remark.

In terms of realm, she indeed wasn't a match.

But as a True Disciple under the Red Cloud Fairy, traveling the martial world, Lu Ye believed that Su Wan must have powerful trump cards to save her life.

Nowadays, even fishing requires a helmet, let alone walking the martial world where life is at stake; how could one not have some trump cards?

Sighing lightly, a trace of worry appeared on Su Wan's face: "With the reemergence of the Five Poison Sect, the land of Xuanzhou might become chaotic again."

Jiang Qingge asked, "Miss Su Wan, is this Five Poison Sect really that strong?"

Su Wan replied solemnly, "Not only strong but also peculiar, with bizarre and ever-changing methods that are extremely difficult to deal with."

"Even if you're one or two realms higher than them, their Poison Techniques are still very troublesome."

After a pause, Su Wan continued, "The person who helped me just now is probably at least above the Innate Seventh Layer, otherwise, it would have been impossible to scare off that Five Poison Sect Guardian."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the carriage nodded in agreement, thinking Su Wan's analysis made sense.

Only Jiang Lingyue, while nodding, secretly glanced at Lu Ye.

This annoying brother-in-law is at the Innate Seventh Layer?!

Could it be... that she's wrong again? He doesn't look like it!

Lu Ye kept a straight face, inwardly praising the smart guess.

...

On the other side.

The old man with bark-like skin squeezed into the carriage, the surprise in his eyes didn't fade.

Over millennia, the martial arts world of Xuanzhou had declined, far from its grandeur of ten thousand years ago.

Back then, claiming to be an Innate Clan required at least two Innates, with one at a minimum of the Innate Seventh Layer!

Now, any Innate First Layer could establish an Innate Clan.

From this, it's evident how much the martial arts standards have declined compared to ten thousand years ago.

In such circumstances, the old man believed that with his strength, he should've been able to move freely in the Northern Territory.

Unexpectedly, shortly after coming out with the Young Master, he immediately encountered two Innates with strength similar to his.

Though he easily suppressed Su Wan, the old man knew it was because she was unfamiliar with the Hundred Poison Heart Scripture during their first encounter.

Otherwise, given her solid foundation, winning wouldn't have been easy.

What truly terrified the Five Poison Sect elder was that mysterious attack that came later!

With his Innate Fifth Layer senses, he only became aware of the crisis when it was right upon him.

This showed the opponent's mastery of this attack... was perfect!

In the carriage, a man in elegant robes snorted coldly, his face pale: "Today, they got lucky."

Thinking of Su Wan's astonishing beauty, the man in elegant robes felt a bit reluctant, turning to say: "I don't know where this woman came from, but if there's a chance in the future, we absolutely can't let her escape again!"

The Five Poison Sect elder pondered briefly and said, "Young Master, if this old man hasn't guessed wrong... she should also be from a small sect from ten thousand years ago, the Red Cloud Sect."

The Red Cloud Sect has a long-standing heritage, never broken.

But ten thousand years ago, on the land of Xuanzhou, filled with various forces, it couldn't be considered first-rate.

Compared to the colossal Five Poison Divine Sect, it wasn't worth mentioning.

According to the information they gathered, the Red Cloud Sect is now one of the three top powers in the Northern Territory.

"Red Cloud Sect?" A sly smile appeared on the Young Master of the Five Poison Sect's face, "Rumor has it that the Red Cloud Sect Leader is also a top beauty. If there's a chance, hehehe..."

They spoke of the Red Cloud Sect without any fear, indicating that this revival of the Five Poison Sect... was long determined!

...

The vehicle continued moving, and after a while, Qingshan City was already visible in the distance.

This place was even livelier, with crowds gathering from all directions.

Arriving here, Lu Ye truly felt the influence of an Innate Realm expert in such a small place of a thousand miles in circumference.

In larger regions, an Innate might not be significant.

But within a thousand miles here, they were renowned, with countless people wanting to win favor with the Innate Ancestor.

The Jiang Family was also an Innate Clan, and upon entering the city, they were directly arranged by the Wang Family into the ancestral home's inner courtyard.

Meanwhile, the two True Disciples from the Red Cloud Sect even prompted the Wang Family Ancestor to personally come out to greet them.

Though backed by an Elder of Cyan Thunder Sect, the status of being a True Disciple of the Red Cloud Sect Leader was substantial.

Moreover, the overall stature of the Red Cloud Sect was on the rise.

"The two fairies truly live up to being outstanding talents of the Red Cloud Sect, haha." The Wang Family Ancestor came out with a friendly smile.

Su Wan smiled slightly, taking out a gift: "This is a small token from my master, hope Elder Wang won't mind."

Wang Family Ancestor was flattered, quickly accepting it personally: "The Red Cloud Fairy is busy with countless affairs, yet she still remembers this old man, truly a pleasant surprise. Fairy Su, please have a seat."

Wang Family Ancestor's attention was completely on Su Wan and the others, while Lu Ye took the opportunity to observe the Wang Family Ancestor.

What surprised Lu Ye slightly was that the Wang Family Ancestor showed no signs of sinister aura, completely presenting the image of a proper Martial Dao Innate.

Just then, the Wang Family Ancestor's expression suddenly shifted, a fleeting cold glint flashed in his eyes, vanishing quickly.

This scene happened to be caught by Lu Ye, who had been watching all along.

A moment later, a Flying Demon Beast appeared above Qingshan City, swiftly flying to the outer perimeter of the Wang Family ancestral home.

Flying Demon Beasts are extremely difficult to tame, and many Innate Clans do not possess them.

Thus, as soon as it appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.

Jiang Qingge and others curiously looked over.

At this time, a blue figure poked her head out from the Flying Demon Beast, locking eyes on Lu Ye in the crowd, and said happily.

"Young Master Lu Ye, I'm here!"

Jiang Qingge: "???"
