Originally, I wanted to release more chapters today, but I was held up by something during the day. I had to publish it at noon and only got home at night. Time is limited, so I can only release three chapters first. However, I will continue to release as much as I can tomorrow. Of course, I will also ask for your support, especially subscriptions.

"When you see Brother Duan later, don't say too much. Brother Duan is a stubborn person. He will definitely use you as an excuse to deal with Yunma School."
On the main road outside Yuntian City, Gu Xiaoyue and Wang Yan walked side by side. Gan Xiumei bowed slightly and followed a few steps behind. Ever since she knew that Gu Xiaoyue would soon become a successor disciple, Gan Xiumei had lowered her attitude even more. She no longer had the bearing of a sect elder and even treated Wang Yan with much more respect. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wang Yan and Gu Xiaoyue had a close relationship. In Gan Xiumei's eyes, if Wang Yan could form a relationship with a figure like Gu Xiaoyue, Wang Yan's identity was naturally not as simple as a mere odd-job disciple. She knew that whether it was herself or the people in the sect, or even Yang Yuan and the others, they had all misunderstood the situation. Fortunately, she stood on Wang Yan's side from beginning to end.
As for Wei Hechuan, it was even worse. Gan Xiumei had already unsealed this young master's acupoints, but he did not dare to breathe too loudly. He obediently followed beside Gan Xiumei, completely unlike the eagle-eyed and wolf-like look he had last night.
As for what these people were thinking, Wang Yan could not be bothered to guess. Even if he knew what Gan Xiumei was thinking, Wang Yan would not explain anything. Along the way, he had been carefully listening to Gu Xiaoyue's words. He knew that Gu Xiaoyue's purpose for this trip was indeed to search for Miss Four in the Northern Victory Region. However, what Wang Yan hadn't expected was that the leader of this trip was the Dripping Blood Sword, Duan Henan, who was often mentioned by Master Po.
Listening to Gu Xiaoyue's instructions, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yue. I have great respect for Brother Duan. His appearance this time was a great help to me. As for how this matter ends, it's all up to Brother Duan. Wang Yan will not object."
Looking at Wang Yan's serious expression, Gu Xiaoyue smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. Although Brother Duan is stubborn, he is a very generous person. When the time comes, you will definitely benefit from it. Who knows, I might even be able to obtain some good things because of you. After all, it's a sect that dominates a region. Who knows, they might have some precious treasures."
Wang Yan smiled. If that was the case, that would be the best. Speaking of the treasures of these local sects, Wang Yan also believed that Yunma School would definitely have some good things. After all, a small sect like the Shujian Zhuang had a collection of Primordial Spirit Objects. And the Gongsun Clan, which wasn't even a sect, still had rare treasures like the Formless Perception Yuan Dongxu Scripture and the Sword Of Hell.
Although the five regions were called the desolate border, it was a vast land with abundant resources. For hundreds of years, there had been countless outstanding figures. Countless secret arts and treasures were scattered everywhere. For a city lord like the Yunma School, which had a hundred years of history, to have some treasures, it was highly possible. Everything depended on Duan Henan's methods.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little expectant. He just wanted to get to Yunma School as soon as possible and see Duan Henan's methods. Therefore, he said to Gu Xiaoyue, "Sister Yue, why don't we compete on foot?"
"Sure!"
Gu Xiaoyue also liked lively scenes. He then said, "However, a simple competition would be too boring. There should be some stakes."
As he said this, Gu Xiaoyue took out a secret manual from his waist pouch and said, "This is a secret art I exchanged from the Secret Sword Pavilion before I left the mountain. It's called the 'Primary Orifice Art'. Recorded in it is a unique method of circulating inner energy in the meridians. After mastering it, the speed of one's attacks can be increased, and it can also allow one's Qing Gong to have more changes.
Apart from that, this secret art also recorded the Five Orifices Meridians outside of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. It's attached with the method to open up the meridians and the method to cultivate it. It seems that after mastering it, it will be beneficial to the improvement of one's cultivation.
This secret art is only a Yellow Tier Upper Grade secret art. To me, it's not essential. If I lose it to you as a stake, it won't be considered a secret art. How about it? Do you dare to bet with me? "
Although Gu Xiaoyue said it casually, Wang Yan knew that this' Primary Orifice Art 'was not simple. The value of this secret art was not below that of the Soft Silk Technique. Although Gu Xiaoyue seemed to have taken it out casually, he was probably digging a pit for Wang Yan to jump into.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyue's faint smile, as if he was certain that he would win, Wang Yan's heart was suddenly filled with pride. He said, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
"Yo, looks like you've gotten yourself some good stuff after wandering outside for half a year. Quick, show it to me."
Gu Xiaoyue's face was filled with eagerness, as if he was waiting for a fish to take the bait. Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but pout. He then took out a remnant page from his pocket. It was the other remnant page of the Solitary Heart Sword Art that he had bought from Mother Dragon.
"This page records the Solitary Heart Sword Art that the inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect practiced hundreds of years ago. Although this remnant page only records one sword technique, this Solitary Heart Sword Art is a Black Tier Middle Grade sword technique. Although this sword technique cannot compare to the three major sword techniques of our Aojian Villa, there shouldn't be many sword techniques of this grade in our sect.
Sister Yue, do you think this remnant page is worth as much as the Primary Orifice Art? "
If it was in Grandmother Long's hands, the value of a Yellow Grade Upper Tier secret technique would be far less than a single move of the Solitary Heart Sword Technique. However, Wang Yan knew that was just a rule set by Grandmother Long. For a secret technique like the Soft Silk Technique, which allowed one to use a profound sword technique like Sword Silk after mastering it, its value to a swordsman was definitely not lower than one or two moves of the Solitary Heart Sword Technique.
"If it really is a Black Tier Middle Grade sword technique, then of course it's worth it!"
Gu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, as if he couldn't wait to snatch the remnant page from Wang Yan's hand. Wang Yan was not surprised by Gu Xiaoyue's reaction. When he was hired by Gu Xiaoyue in the sect, he had heard from Master Po that this girl was the so-called "Sword Master". As long as there was a high level sword technique in the sect, Gu Xiaoyue would find a way to practice it. Wang Yan's action could be considered as catering to her interest.
"Then it's a deal?"
"Yes! Whoever reaches Yunma School first wins. "
Gu Xiaoyue nodded heavily. Then, the two of them looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. In the next moment, the two of them turned their heads at almost the same time. Then, they activated their Qinggong through the Qi Circulation Foot Scripture. Gu Xiaoyue's figure rapidly moved forward in the crowd like a swimming fish. In just a few breaths, he had already entered the city gate. Wang Yan's Flying Crossing Technique was not as exquisite. As he raised his Qi, he soared into the sky and used the Cloud Treading Steps. As he raised his Qi, he occasionally tapped on someone's shoulder. In just a few leaps, he had already flown out of the city gate. He was one step ahead of Gu Xiaoyue.
"Sister Yue, Wang Yan will go first."
As he laughed heartily, Wang Yan raised his Qi and flew to the top of a small building not far away. Then, he soared into the sky and used the Cloud Treading Steps to the extreme. If it was yesterday, Wang Yan would not have dared to be so presumptuous. After all, there were rules in Yunma School. If the people of Jianghu were allowed to fly on roofs and vault over walls, wouldn't the city be in chaos? But now, Brother Duan had brought a group of Inner Sanctum disciples with him. Yunma School was pressured to the point that it was hard to breathe. Why would they care about his impudence?
Gu Xiaoyue did not expect Wang Yan to be so presumptuous. But after thinking about it, she understood and immediately imitated him. She leaped into the sky. However, when she leaped onto a small building, Wang Yan had already disappeared, turning into a small black dot in her eyes.
"Brat, your reaction is quite fast. But the outcome is not yet decided!"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoyue's internal energy surged, and he leaped into the air. His feet stepped on the air, and his entire body soared into the sky like a wild goose. His speed was so fast that he was actually slightly faster than Wang Yan.
Not long after, Gu Xiaoyue had caught up to Wang Yan. Seeing that Gu Xiaoyue had caught up to him, Wang Yan was not surprised. He knew that although the Nine Heaven Treading Steps was mysterious, how could the inheritance of the Aojian Villa be weak? Not to mention that he had only learned two steps of the Nine Heaven Treading Steps. It would be difficult for him to defeat Gu Xiaoyue by relying on Qinggong alone.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan laughed and said, "Sister Yue, I don't think it will be easy to determine who is better in terms of speed. Why don't we try our skills?"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yan turned around in the air and pointed a finger at Gu Xiaoyue, who was chasing after him. Gu Xiaoyue did not expect Wang Yan to suddenly attack. Moreover, she was in such a hurry that it was difficult for her to stop in the air.
In the next moment, Wang Yan only felt a soft touch on the tip of his finger. He saw that his finger had accurately hit the Ruzhong point on Gu Xiaoyue's right chest. In layman's terms, it was the Ruzhong point. Wang Yan's face was full of astonishment. He did not expect that his finger would be so accurate. Yet, Gu Xiaoyue's cheeks were red and her eyes were filled with embarrassment. This situation was beyond Wang Yan's expectation. However, he still spat out his Qi from the tip of his finger as usual. Then, he saw that Gu Xiaoyue's body stiffened and her whole body fell from a height of more than ten meters.
Seeing this, Wang Yan turned pale with fright. He immediately flipped in the air and turned his body upside down. He took a few steps and caught up with Gu Xiaoyue in a flash. He took her into his arms and then turned around again and floated down to the ground.
Looking at the silent beauty in his arms, whose acupoints had been hit and could not move, Wang Yan's face was full of embarrassment. He stammered, "With Senior Sister's cultivation, you should be able to break through the acupoints in an instant. Wang Yan was rude this time. I hope Senior Sister won't blame me."
After saying that, Wang Yan put Gu Xiaoyue under the eaves of a roadside house and sat her down against the wall. Then, he dashed away as if he was escaping. Along the way, Wang Yan ran as fast as he could, trying his best not to let his imagination run wild. However, his heart still lingered on the delicate and soft feeling from before. In such a state of confusion, it did not take long for Wang Yan to arrive at Yunma School.
Wang Yan did not directly enter Yunma School. Instead, he stood in front of the gate of Yunma School with some uneasiness. On one hand, he was afraid that he had offended Gu Xiaoyue, but on the other hand, he felt that it was a mistake on top of a mistake to flee just now. As his thoughts raced, Wang Yan paced back and forth in front of the gate of Yunma School. Not long after, Gu Xiaoyue's clothes fluttered in the wind.
"Senior Sister."
Wang Yan called out in a low voice. Gu Xiaoyue stopped in front of him with an indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened. Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly said, "Wang Yan, this time it was an unfair victory …"
Without waiting for Wang Yan to finish, Gu Xiaoyue raised his sword-like eyebrows and snorted coldly. "Could it be that I, Gu Xiaoyue, am a sore loser in your eyes?"
As he said that, Gu Xiaoyue threw the Primordial Orifice Technique secret manual into Wang Yan's hand. Then, he strode toward Yunma School.
Looking at the secret manual in his hand, Wang Yan was a little confused and was stunned for a moment. However, after a few breaths, Gu Xiaoyue's voice came from not far away.
"What are you waiting for? Don't let Brother Duan wait too long."
