Conquering the affections of the enchanting women from the Heavenly Lotus Sect or the Spirit Affinity Sect wasn't going to be a walk in the park like it was with the female disciples of the Wind Cloud House Sect.
Their path was obstructed by several challenges.
Foremost, gaining entry into the domains where the members of the Spirit Affinity Sect and the Heavenly Lotus Sect resided proved to be quite a hurdle.
Wang Jian took a moment to share this news with his four companions—Lady Zhuoran, Luo Qiu, Yan Niu, and Han Xifeng.
Their reactions were far from astonishment, for they were well acquainted with Wang Jian's licentious activities. In fact, what truly surprised them was that Wang Jian had yet to take action against those captivating women.
With a grin playing on his lips, Wang Jian leaned casually against a silk-adorned column. "Ladies, it seems our next course of action will require a more sophisticated approach."
Han Xifeng's laughter filled the room. "And I assume you're not merely looking to expand your alliances?"
Wang Jian's response was a playful nod. "Indeed, but these extraordinary women demand a more intricate strategy."
Han Xifeng tilted her head, her gaze keen. "So, you're saying it won't be as straightforward as your usual antics?"
A chuckle escaped Wang Jian as he appreciated their keen insight. "You're absolutely right. These situations require finesse, patience, and meticulous planning."
Lady Zhuoran's eyes sparkled with amusement and intrigue. "And what do you have in mind, my dear?"
"Zhuoran, I've got a plan for you—head over to the Spirit Affinity Sect. Xifeng, you'll be going to the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Your skills and the fact that you're women should make gaining entry to their territories relatively smooth. Once they witness your expertise in their respective fields, they'll likely treat you with utmost respect. Your mission is to blend in, gather crucial intel about them, and keep me informed," Wang Jian addressed them earnestly.
"Got it!" Han Xifeng responded promptly.
"Understood," Lady Zhuoran confirmed.
Wang Jian's smirk widened, and he added playfully, "As for the finer details, I'll keep you updated as things unfold. Rest assured, you won't be separated from me for too long."
Han Xifeng's delight was evident as she squeezed him in a hug, exclaiming, "Sounds great!"
The subsequent day marked the implementation of this phase of their strategy. Han Xifeng and Lady Zhuoran met up with delegates from the Heavenly Lotus Sect and the Spirit Affinity Sect, respectively.
True to Wang Jian's predictions, both women were welcomed. The tests administered by the delegates, using unique rocks to assess their spiritual potential and holy attributes, were nothing short of astonishing, even bordering on legendary.
The subsequent day brought esteemed visitors to Wang Jian's expansive inn room within the Zephyr Zenith Terrace. The Sect Mistresses of both sects had arrived to pay him a visit, as Wang Jian had anticipated.
Wang Jian came face-to-face with the formidable Sect Mistresses, who exuded an overwhelming aura intended to suppress him. However, their attempt to crush him as a display of power was met with his resilient resistance.
As he held his ground against their combined pressure, it became evident to the Sect Mistresses that Wang Jian wasn't an ordinary expert; his strength was exceptional.
Fairy Bi Xia, the Sect Mistress of the Spirit Affinity Sect, broke the icy silence, her voice cold and demanding, "Identify yourself."
"I am Wang Jian, hailing from the Everlasting Mystical Empire in the Southern Region," Wang Jian responded composedly.
Both women narrowed their eyes upon hearing his words, intrigued by his background.
Fairy Ruo Li, the Sect Mistress of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, spoke calmly, getting to the point, "Daoist Wang, allow me to be direct. We've been informed that a woman named Han Xifeng is dwelling here. She visited the Heavenly Lotus Sect's embassy in Zephyr Zenith Terrace, expressing her interest in joining our sect. Her examination results have been nothing short of extraordinary. I'm here personally to extend an invitation for her to join."
Fairy Bi Xia continued, her tone equally composed, "I'm here for a similar purpose, Daoist Wang. The woman I seek is Bixi Shuyan, who takes the form of a Five Silver Tailed Fox Beast and is currently in human form. She too visited our Spirit Affinity Sect's embassy and expressed her intention to join my sect."
Wang Jian's smile broadened as he listened, his eyes gleaming with amusement. He responded, "The women you've mentioned happen to be my wives. I'm rather reluctant to part with them."
Fairy Bi Xia attempted to sway him with a persuasive tone, "I implore you to reconsider, Daoist Wang. Bixi Zhuoran's test results indicate an exceptionally expansive spiritual energy reservoir and an astonishingly diverse range. With proper nurturing, her potential is staggering. I promise you, within ten years, she'll break through to the Emperor Realm."
The notion of advancing from the King Realm to the Emperor Realm within a decade was indeed a monumental claim.
Fairy Ruo Li, not to be outdone, spoke with equal conviction, "Take a moment to rethink your decision regarding Han Xifeng, Daoist Wang. Han Xifeng possesses an uncanny affinity for the Holy Attribute, enabling her to harness impressive healing abilities. Her Bloodline Spirit, Holy Angel Amara, grants her powers akin to a true Angel. If you allow her to join my sect, I assure you she'll receive one of the True Inheritances of the Archangel Jophiel. This will enhance her Holy Attribute and evolve her Bloodline Spirit to the level of an Archangel which will accelerate her path toward the Emperor Realm."
Fairy Ruo Li's claim was even more extraordinary than Fairy Bi Xia's, leaving Wang Jian to ponder the weight of the choices ahead.
"Can I accompany them or at least visit them occasionally?" Wang Jian asked with curiosity.
Fairy Bi Xia's response was swift and chilly, "I'm afraid not. Men are not permitted within the Spirit Affinity Sect's territory."
Fairy Ruo Li echoed the sentiment, her tone equally firm, "The same holds true for our sect."
Wang Jian's brow furrowed, but he posed his next question, "Can I invite them to visit me here in the Zephyr Zenith Terrace?"
Both women responded in unison, "No."
It was Fairy Ruo Li who explained, "Please understand, Daoist Wang. Once Han Xifeng becomes part of my sect, she will be immersed in her cultivation and training, delving into various legacies to enhance her skills. Interrupting that process would hinder her progress significantly."
Wang Jian's frown deepened as he contemplated the situation. He turned his gaze to the two women in question, Han Xifeng and Lady Zhuoran.
"Do you truly wish to go? Keep in mind, we might not be able to meet each other for quite some time," Wang Jian inquired, gently touching their faces with his hands.
"Yes, Husband. We want to grow stronger. We don't just want your protection; we want the ability to protect you as well. This is the path we choose. Please allow us," Han Xifeng spoke passionately.
Lady Zhuoran echoed her sentiment with equal fervor, "Rest assured, we'll return once we reach the Emperor Realm in our cultivation."
With their declarations, the two women stepped closer, embracing Wang Jian tightly. Then, one by one, they kissed him on the lips.
Han Xifeng led the way, her kiss charged with an ardent intensity. Then, it was Lady Zhuoran's turn, her kiss just as passionate.
As they witnessed the two women kissing Wang Jian with such intensity, both Fairy Bi Xia and Fairy Ruo Li frowned momentarily, though they maintained their composure. The display of affection between these women and Wang Jian stirred some unease within them.
Nonetheless, they concealed their feelings, silently resolving to sway these newcomers within their sects. Their ultimate goal was to sever the emotional bond between these women and Wang Jian, persuading them to redirect their loyalty toward their respective sects.
Unbeknownst to the Sect Mistresses, their decision to admit these two women would later prove to be a colossal misstep in their lives.
What the Sect Mistresses remained oblivious to was that every aspect of today's events had unfolded precisely according to Wang Jian's meticulous plan!
After the heartfelt conversation, Han Xifeng and Lady Zhuoran left Wang Jian's room, accompanied by the two Sect Mistresses.
As expected, the news of the Sect Mistresses' visit stirred a commotion throughout the Zephyr Zenith Terrace. The unexpected appearance of these high-ranking figures created quite a buzz. Before long, the Sect Master of the Wind Cloud House and several other Emperor Realm experts arrived at Wang Jian's abode.
Their purpose for visiting was twofold: first, they now recognized Wang Jian's status as an Emperor Realm expert, and thus, felt he deserved utmost respect and courtesy. Furthermore, there was hope that he might consider joining their sect, bolstering its strength.
The recent loss of Elder Zhao Tao, a fellow Emperor Realm expert, had dealt a blow to the Wind Cloud House's prowess.
The leaders of the sect believed that if Wang Jian were to join their ranks, it could potentially compensate for this loss and elevate the sect's standing.
Intrigued by their visit, Wang Jian entertained his esteemed guests, engaging in discussions that explored the potential for collaboration. He tactfully considered their proposals, his demeanor amiable and open.
Wang Jian then presented one condition to joining the Wind Cloud House Sect.
