Wang Nan scaled the high wall and entered the Iron Blood Sect.
At this moment, a fight had already broken out within the Sect.
Although Beibei and the others had lower spirit power ranks, they all had optimal spirit ring configurations, and with Huo Yuhao's mental sharing, their movements were incredibly coordinated, advancing and retreating in perfect sync.
On the other side, although Tieli possessed Spirit Emperor cultivation, his one white, two yellow, and three purple spirit rings already indicated his talent.
The two Spirit King elders beside him were merely going through the motions, not putting in their full effort. After all, it was Tieli who had occupied someone else's Sect territory; they were just working for money, so why risk their lives?
With Huo Yuhao's assistance, He Caitou was like a god, his various spirit tool attacks precisely hitting every Iron Blood Sect disciple.
However, Wang Nan could clearly see that these attacks were not fatal; it seemed the group was still exercising restraint.
Tang Ya, however, did not have such a good temper. Seeing Tieli, her enemy, her eyes turned purple, and she unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons with her attacks.
Huo Yuhao was using his mental force to shroud the entire Iron Blood Sect when he suddenly felt his mental force stagnate. He was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted, a hint of joy flashing through his heart, though his eyes involuntarily began to scan his surroundings.
Beibei, who was currently battling Tieli, used Huo Yuhao's mental force to detect a gap in Tieli's spirit power adjustment. His fourth spirit ring lit up, and a massive thunderous dragon head burst forth, attacking Tieli with roaring thunder and dragon cries.
The moment the dragon head struck, Beibei's second spirit ring also lit up, and countless electric snakes amplified simultaneously, creating a net of thunder covering Tieli.
Tieli was hit by Beibei's two Spirit Abilities in quick succession, his body completely paralyzed, collapsing as if he had lost all sensation.
Tang Ya, unable to restrain herself any longer, unleashed streams of Blue Silver Grass, and dark black vines drilled into his body.
In the next moment, a dragon's roar echoed, and everyone in the Iron Blood Sect felt an immense power spreading from one direction. The spirit power within their bodies felt suppressed, unable to be mobilized.
The lower-ranked disciples of the Iron Blood Sect had their legs go limp, their faces turning pale.
The Blue Silver Grass released by Tang Ya instantly vanished.
In Huo Yuhao's mental force, several consciousnesses awakened simultaneously.
"What kind of aura is this?" Tianmeng Iceworm spoke, with a hint of fear in its tone.
"Hmph, and you call yourself a million-year Spirit Beast?" Ice Empress routinely scoffed, then spoke to Huo Yuhao, "Your senior brother originally had this power, but now it has grown much stronger. Anyone whose strength is inferior to his will be unable to mobilize their spirit power when facing him."
Wang Nan did not know that a brief meeting had already taken place in Huo Yuhao's mental force; he just hurried to Tang Ya's side.
The thing he had always worried about had still happened.
The influence between a Spirit Master and a Spirit is relative: the stronger the Spirit, the more easily the Spirit Master is influenced by the Spirit; the weaker the Spirit, the more easily the Spirit is influenced by the Spirit Master.
Now, it was Tang Ya's renewed hatred that reawakened the dark part of her Spirit.
However, before Wang Nan could act, Beibei pulled Tang Ya into his embrace.
Wang Nan looked at the two embracing each other and felt an extremely special emotion emanating from them.
Within just two days, this was the second time Wang Nan had felt such an emotion.
Within Beibei's embrace, Tang Ya gradually regained her clarity.
Wang Nan was momentarily stunned. He knew that emotions could indeed explain some unexplainable things, but this power was simply too strong.
For a moment, various memories from his previous life flashed through Wang Nan's mind, and he then realized that in this world, many things seemed to be caused by the single character "Qing" (emotion).
Ever since comprehending the rule-breaking rod style of the Coiling Dragon Staff, Wang Nan had gradually begun to grasp the most fundamental Law of this World.
Looking at Beibei and Tang Ya before him, Wang Nan seemed to vaguely grasp something.
After a while, Beibei and Tang Ya finally separated. Tang Ya, with a blush, hid behind Beibei, and it was Beibei who eventually stepped forward.
"Senior Brother."
"It's good that you're alright." Wang Nan looked at the Iron Blood Sect disciples sprawled on the ground. "What do you plan to do with these people?"
"The Iron Blood Sect will cease to exist. Let them leave," Beibei sighed.
Tieli was the murderer who killed Tang Ya's family and occupied the Tang Sect's territory, so it was only right for Beibei and the others to take action, but these disciples should be spared.
Wang Nan merely nodded; he had no intention of interfering in their family matters. He only brought up Xuan Zi's message to them. "You also know about the Holy Spirit Cult. Heaven Dou City is not very safe. Elder Xuan intends for you to rebuild the Tang Sect in Shrek City, and he asked me to inquire about your opinions."
"This…" Beibei hesitated. "Senior Brother, please wait a moment. I'll discuss it with Xiaoya."
"Alright, I'll be over there. Just let me know once you've decided."
Wang Nan glanced around, making space for Beibei and Tang Ya, and found a place to sit down.
Not long after he sat down, Huo Yuhao cautiously crept over.
"Senior Brother."
"Sit." Wang Nan gestured for Huo Yuhao to sit but saw Huo Yuhao looking toward Beibei and Tang Ya. "What's wrong? Are you envious of your Senior Brother Beibei's relationship?"
"No." Huo Yuhao scratched his head a bit awkwardly, his face turning slightly red.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Love is inherently a beautiful emotion. It's understandable for you to be envious at your age."
"Hehe." Huo Yuhao didn't answer, just smiled.
"It's just that there are many things in this world beyond love, and emotion isn't limited to just love. When you find someone you like in the future, don't put all your focus on them."
"Senior Brother, do you have something more important in your heart than emotions?"
"Me? Initially, I just wanted to live an ordinary life with my parents. But as my cultivation grew higher, I also felt that I should do something, at the very least to make this world a better place."
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened as he looked at Wang Nan. "Wang… Wang Dage, can I call you that?"
"You know the place where I grew up; no one there ever told me what I should do. Later, my mother and I left that place, and I also met Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother Beibei, and Teacher." At this point, Huo Yuhao's expression darkened.
"They helped me a lot, but very few people told me what was right and what was wrong. During the Soul Duel Tournament, Senior Brother told me that there were things more important than victory."
"Compared to those people in my 'home,' in my heart, Senior Brother is more like my Dage."
