In the gray Deceit Realm, Wang Zhifan took off his bamboo hat and then removed a simple wooden mask from his face. His external appearance transformed from unremarkable to tall and handsome once again.
He then looked towards Yi Lin and Yali, who were not far away collecting gold bars from the ground, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Cleared those demons and exchanged for gold worth approximately 300 million Xia Country currency… I guess I won't have any financial issues for some time."
He intended to instruct the two succubus maids to store the gold well in this Deceit Realm, but suddenly felt an unexpected situation. He noticed something in his personal space reacting, calling out to him.
"Is the Guest Minister Token… is the Wuji Sect experiencing problems?"
Wang Zhifan's gaze shifted slightly, realizing that Wuji Sect must have encountered something since they were summoning him via the Guest Minister Token, likely connected to the demon sect of that world.
"I should go and take a look… My power now is tenfold stronger than when I first received this token, and even if the demon sect sends strong figures, they might still be manageable. At worst, I can escape back to the real world."
A thought quickly flashed through his mind, and Wang Zhifan took out the black-bordered gold Guest Minister Token from his personal space, then activated the ability to go to the target world.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed the succubus maids Yi Lin and Yali to look after the villa and the Deceit Realm, and his figure quickly vanished.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhifan found himself surrounded by the bustling, ancient, and quaint Pingwu City, the nearest node to the world of Wuji Sect he had left last time. He had come here previously to purchase food and tea for consumption in the quest and was inspired to utilize this world's human resources.
"The city looks much the same as when I last visited… Still under the control of the Wuji Sect's black-robed disciples."
After quickly walking out from a secluded alley in the city and observing his surroundings, Wang Zhifan found that neither the ordinary residents of Pingwu City nor the Wuji Sect disciples managing the area showed any abnormal signs, indicating that the Wuji Sect's problem wasn't as dire as he had anticipated.
"Red Deer!"
Since nothing was evident in Pingwu City, he decided to head up the mountain immediately and summoned the Red Deer Horse, riding it towards the eastern gate of the city.
During the journey, he paused to gaze at Wuji Mountain situated south of Pingwu City, which also appeared calm, so he opted for a more discreet land route rather than having the Red Deer Horse take to the skies.
Thanks to the convenience the Guest Minister Token afforded, he appeared atop Wuji Mountain, standing before the Wuji Sect's grand hall approximately fifteen minutes later.
"Mr. Wang! It's been a while! You're still so vibrant and extraordinary! Please come in! Please come in!"
Upon hearing from the disciples that Wang Zhifan had arrived so swiftly, Sect Leader Xiong Tianli, his long black hair flowing, immediately beamed with delight, hurriedly exited the hall to welcome him personally, and approached to help Wang Zhifan dismount.
"Sect Leader Xiong, you flatter me… But since you summoned me here, may I ask what important matter requires attention?"
Wang Zhifan, noting the Wuji Sect's complete normalcy, inquired as he walked towards the interior of the hall.
"Indeed, there is an important matter, otherwise I would not have used the Guest Minister Token to summon you."
Sect Leader Xiong, seeing Wang Zhifan get straight to the point, refrained from unnecessary remarks and solemnly continued:
"The arrogance of the demon sect is something Mr. Wang must be well aware of. They exploit their broad influence and numerous disciples to recklessly assault middle and small sects like ours. Last time, if not for Mr. Wang's tremendous support, my Wuji Sect might have been annihilated! This time, I have summoned Mr. Wang here to fiercely avenge the previous grievances! I have reached an agreement with three allied sects within a thousand miles around to organize skilled members to thoroughly eliminate the already investigated demon gate site! However, considering the number of demon sect experts, our combined force might be insufficient, hence the thought of inviting Mr. Wang to lend his aid. What say you?"
"When do you plan to depart for demon slaying?"
Wang Zhifan, after hearing the Sect Leader, did not immediately respond yes or no, but instead asked about the approximate date for action.
"Our four sects have agreed to set out three days hence, at noon."
Sect Leader Xiong promptly replied, his steady gaze aimed at Wang Zhifan.
"Waiting three days… That's manageable, but I have some personal matters recently, so I can only join you for the assembly on the morning of the third day."
Wang Zhifan knew he couldn't idle here for several days and, after brief consideration, gave his promise.
"No concern! As long as Mr. Wang is willing to lend his assistance, my four sects are immensely grateful!"
Sect Leader Xiong, seeing Wang Zhifan agree so readily, made a respectful bow, a grand gesture in this world, signifying the Sect Leader's great value placed on Wang Zhifan's help.
"Sect Leader, no need for such formality! Since I have accepted this Guest Minister Token, eradicating demons and defending the Way is naturally my duty!"
Wang Zhifan quickly helped him rise, declaring with resolute righteousness.
After some time, sharing a few cups with Sect Leader Xiong, Wang Zhifan left the Wuji Sect hall and rode the Red Deer Horse down Wuji Mountain.
