The Wildblood Sect was unmistakable, one had to only follow the scent of blood. The Wildblood hunted beasts and also kept them as companions in their path.

"You are here at the invitation of Lady Qian?" Huang Lu nodded. The guard stared at the group and wondered why they were these oddballs. "I did not see any invitation for..."

"Huang Lu."

The guard frowned and went inside to check. Toh Gen's arm was still recovering, and both Zhan Yuanfang and Xue Xinling waited next to Huang Lu.

The guard came out and nodded. "Right this way, Master Huang. I'm afraid you came at the wrong time. Both the ladies looked around the Sect's huge drying area, where rows and rows of beast fur and skin were hung out to dry. There was also a large zoo-like area where the different spirit beasts rested.

"Lady Qian is unfortunately a little busy at this time." The guard and attendant said frankly. "We've got visitors from the Godspear Sect."

Xue Xinling nodded. "Do you know why they are here?"

"I hear it's a marriage thing!" Oh yes. That's another marriage plot. If it's not clear by now, this writer of fates is really quite starved of ideas so he's constantly reusing marriage plots.

"So Lady Qian is getting married?"

"Eh." The Guard rolled his eyes. "No. Our lady Qian's not getting married. Not yet, anyway. It's probably the Sect Master's third son."

Oops. Sorry, wrong marriage plot! They were then led to a nice, beautiful building. "This is Lady Qian's quarters, please wait here."

They waited.

And waited.

And waited some more. They finished the pot of tea.

At that moment, they heard a loud boom and the sounds of swords fighting.

"Should we go and look?" Toh Gen asked. Both ladies looked to Huang Lu, and Huang Lu nodded. Why did female love interests always expect the male main character to decide anyway? But anyway, they walked to the source of the sound, and saw two groups.

On one side, the Sect Master of the Wildblood Sect along with all his disciples and elders. Lady Qian was among them.

On the other side, three elders of the Godspear Sect and about thirty disciples.

"We were promised a candidate of sufficient quality." The Elder said. "Your son is weaker than our core disciple, Lady Mao. His injuries from the spar is expected."

Huang Lu saw a lady with beautiful long black hair and she held a very ornately decorated spear. She was already at the first steps of the 3rd realm, an equal to Toh Gen. Toh Gen immediately frowned.

"Is there no one in your sect that is stronger than Lady Mao that is no more than ten years older than her?" The Godspear Elder was proud.

The Sect Master frowned. "Even so, there was no need to harm my son so excessively. You are guests."

The son of the Sect Master stood forth. They clearly fought a while ago, and he was heavily injured from the fight. Huang Lu sensed that the leader of the elders and the Sect master was of the same rank, at the first stages of the 5th realm. "And we were promised a worthy candidate. It seemed this was a waste of time."

But the elder glanced around, and then saw Toh Gen. "You!"

Toh Gen wanted to run but felt the aura of the 5th realm press on him. He froze.

"Come out."

Toh Gen sighed, and then walked out. Both Zhan Yuanfang and Xue Xinling smirked. The elder's spear flashed, and his hoodie revealed his face.

"Oh? It seems there is one, after all."

Toh Gen shook his head, and initiated his lightning rod program, "Oh, well met, Sect Master, elders of the Wildblood Sect and the elders of the Godspear Sect." Everyone's eyes was on him, now. "I'm actually not invited here, I'm only invited at my master and good friend, Huang Lu."

Toh Gen revealed his recovering arm. "As you can see, my cultivation is damaged and my hand is still recovering, so I am certainly not a good candidate for any marriage."

The elders frowned.

"BUT!" Toh Gen said. "I know someone who can easily satisfy Lady Mao. In every way, even in the bedroom." He said with a cheeky wink, which startled Lady Mao and caused her to blush at the naughty words.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

The elders of the Godspear lifted their spear. "Get to the point, or we'll take you instead."

Of course, the sequence of this entire conversation didn't make sense. Why did Lady Mao NEED to get married anyway?

Toh Gen then pointed to Huang Lu.

"You see that big man there? He's my age, but he is already at the 4th realm. If there's anyone who can satisfy lady Mao, it's him."

At that point, Qian Ziyi's eyes stared at Huang Lu. She wondered how did he reach the 4th realm so quickly?

"Big words." The elder said. "You there. A spar with our Lady Mao?"

Huang Lu frowned, both Xue Xinling and Zhan Yuanfang stood forth to protect their quarry. "Toh Gen, why are you pulling Huang Lu into this?"

The elders glanced at the two beauties, and somehow, this caused Lady Mao's eyes to stare at Huang Lu intently. Toh Gen was right! If a lady saw that other ladies wanted someone, it triggered their curiosity. There had to be something!

"Oh? Toh Gen? Of the Eastern Wind Sect?" The Godspear Elder asked.

"Ah, yes. My apologies for missing out on our introduction. Myself, Lady Xue of the Starry Nights and my sect-sister Lady Zhan are just accompanying the star of our travel group, Huang Lu."

At this point, Lady Mao was curious, and she stood forward with her spear. "Well met, Huang Lu, may I have a spar?"

Everyone's eyes was now on Huang Lu. He was a guest! He looked to the Sect Master. "I don't mind, but only if the Sect Master of the Wildblood Sect permits it."

The Sect Master laughed. "It's no problem. Please, if it's enough to satisfy our guests bloodlust, please go ahead."

Huang Lu nodded and stood forth. Now everyone stared at the two. Huang Lu's aura felt like a first realm, and everyone started talking. But Mao Shenyun stared intently and focused, and she saw the first realm presence was a disguise! He took off his shirt and revealed his black-god body, and then a bottle of oil. "Let us start?"

Mao Shenyun immediately charged and lunged with her spear. Her spear glowed in green, and she thrust with all her strength.

"That's the Godspear Stab!" The force of the power could make anyone in the 3rd realm feel pain.

Huang Lu took the spear head on, his body was a wall of stone and steel. The spear slammed into his chest, and everyone winced. But he was fine, as the spear's tip met the heavenly Qi aura around his skin.

Mao Shenyun's eyes widened. She had never ever seen someone block her spear with just their body! He flexed his muscles, and his body emitted his strong Qi outwards, and revealed his 4th realm cultivation. It pushed her back a few steps, and everyone's jaw dropped.

"He's so young, how did he reach the 4th realm?"

"That's a Lesser-Highfollow-class genius! On the Xingshu continent he may well be unrivalled?!"

Mao Shenyun immediately lunged again, and launched her next move. She stabbed repeatedly, and Huang Lu parried with his arm. His muscles glowed like a shield, the oil pushing his power even more.

"Don't you think he could even stand toe-to-toe with an elder?"

Every xianxia fight needed commentary! Especially commentary that praised the fighters!

Mao Shenyun grew frustrated, and she stabbed repeatedly. Was this all she amounted to in the world? They say she was a genius!

His fists glowed, and he retaliated with a one-two punch. She quickly shielded herself with her spear, but the force of the two hits still threw her back and she fell on the ground. Her beautiful hair was stained by dirt, and her face smudged. The hit even made a dent on the armor on her chest.

"So strong!"

At this point, Mao Shenyun collected herself, and her spear glowed again, this time in white and yellow. The elders of the Godspear sect looked shocked. "Little Yun, there's no need to-"

A massive spear image appeared above her and she slammed it downwards.

The gallery of watchers gawked at the display of the Godspear's Godspear Strike.

It left a long scar on the ground, and Huang Lu was untouched. Not a single cut on his skin. It felt like someone tried to hit him with a rattan cane. Hurt a little, but that's about it.

Mao Shenyun's eyes couldn't believe it. "How?"

Huang Lu looked around, and he realised he had already won. Anything more was unnecessary.

He clasped his hand together. "I believe that was a good fight, Lady Mao. This spar is over."

The Godspear Elders clapped. "Indeed. Superior bodily training and a godly defense."

The Sect Master joined in the praise. "Lady Mao of the Godspear is truly an incredible genius, to be able to use the Godspear Strike at her age. but it seemed the world is cruel, there are still geniuses among geniuses. Let us all rest, today has been exciting enough."

Everyone nodded. Huang Lu felt his ears turn red. He didn't like the overt praise.

The Sect Master of the Wildblood smiled at Huang Lu. "So, you are here to meet Qian Ziyi? You must be the one who crushed her so badly that she asked for powerful pills."

Huang Lu shrugged.

The elders went and console Mao Shenyun who still couldn't believe her eyes. Huang Lu and his little posse returned to Qian Ziyi's abode. She and her sect master joined them soon afterwards.

Qian Ziyi frowned, her face was red when she saw him. She had expected to spar with him and beat him publicly, but now that he publicly displayed his 4th realm prowess, she knew she had no chance! She was only in the 2nd realm! She needed to get much stronger.

"So... uh... welcome to the Wild Blood Sect." She said. Her initial script could not be used, because she wanted to challenge him to a spar, and then beat him. Now, that was just silly. But her master came to her rescue.

"So, quite the group you are travelling with." The Sect master laughed as he greeted his new guests. "Are you here to take Qian Ziyi with you? I think she needs some worldly experience."

"Ah..." Huang Lu was about to say no. But then he felt like heavenly punishment would strike him if he said no.

"Surely there's space for one more beautiful lady in the group! A bigger group is always more fun, and safer too!"

Xue Xinling and Zhan Yuanfang stared at each other as they felt the competition come in. But then they both resigned to the reality that a man like Huang Lu would have thousands of concubines and mistresses. Qian Ziyi would not be the first. Or the last.

"Uh..." Qian Ziyi stared at her sect master.

"It's a good idea! You should go with them!"

Toh Gen immediately added fuel to the fire. "Oh certainly, come join us. Huang Lu's stamina is ridiculous and he won't stop at just two."

The two ladies immediately blushed red, and Qian Ziyi, who was a little slow on the uptake, blushed once she got it. The Sect master laughed.

"Well, the strong always have a bevy of beauties. Such is the way of the world."

Qian Ziyi's red tomato face stared. "...if they'll take me."

Huang Lu sighed, and felt the heavenly approval. "Yes. I feel the heavens tell me to take you along."

Both the existing girls glared at Qian Ziyi.

Now that Huang Lu had visited the Wildblood Sect, what's next?
