Mu Zili, who had just swallowed a spiritual pill and sat cross-legged to rest, opened his eyes and furrowed his brows, saying, “Perhaps… Brother Ye has already reached the summit ahead of us?”
Yu Hao and Li Qingyao also looked towards the peak. At the top of the mountain, which was shaped like the character for “pin” (品), palaces encircled a towering structure that was particularly dazzling. The Imperial Spirit Technique was right here!
Without taking any more rest, Yu Hao and Li Qingyao chose to begin their ascent immediately. However, at that moment, Tian Linzi’s figure appeared before the four of them.
“Ye Wushuang is the first to arrive, and you four are late!” Tian Linzi said with a smile. “From now on, you four will wait here.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Zili and Ji Ou were taken aback, and then overjoyed. Ye Wushuang was truly remarkable!
But Li Qingyao and Yu Hao’s expressions turned sour. Ye Wushuang… had arrived first? What did that make them? After all their hard work and risking their lives, they had gained nothing! Instead, their friends and clansmen had suffered heavy casualties!
“Damn it!” Li Qingyao clenched his fists.
“Ouch, can’t handle the truth?” Ji Ou looked at Li Qingyao and laughed, “Brother Ye is just that good. Not convinced? If you’re not convinced, then be the first yourself!”
Li Qingyao glared at Ji Ou coldly without a word. He then turned to Tian Linzi and asked, “Senior, may we leave now?”
The first place had already been determined. The Imperial Spirit Technique belonged to Ye Wushuang. Li Qingyao knew that with his strength, he could never take the Imperial Spirit Technique from Ye Wushuang. So, what was the point of staying here?
“No, you can’t leave!” Tian Linzi replied with a smile.
The four of them had different reactions. Mu Zili asked, “Then may we know when we can leave? And when will Ye Wushuang’s acquisition of the Imperial Spirit Technique be over?”
Tian Linzi simply said, “Wait!”
“Wait just because you say so?” Ji Ou huffed, “I want to leave now. Call Brother Ye out.”
Tian Linzi smiled and said, “Feel free to leave, but if you die… don’t blame me.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Ou shrank back. Tian Linzi’s figure then dissipated without another word.
Ji Ou then nudged Mu Zili and whispered, “Something’s not right.”
Though Ji Ou was impulsive, he was not foolish. His earlier outburst was to gauge Tian Linzi’s reaction. If Ye Wushuang was truly receiving the transmission of the Spirit Technique, it wouldn’t take long, and Tian Linzi wouldn’t keep them waiting here. Not allowing them to leave was suspicious.
Mu Zili whispered back, “I’m afraid… it’s not about receiving the Spirit Technique transmission…”
Tian Linzi’s trials had been filled with bloodshed all along. If it was truly about the transmission of the Spirit Technique, he would only need to choose the one he favored most; there was no need to put the others in a deadly situation.
Li Qingyao and Yu Hao also gathered together. Yu Hao quietly said, “It’s probably not that simple…”
“Perhaps it’s not about the Spirit Technique transmission at all,” Li Qingyao added. “I’m afraid Ye Wushuang might have fallen into some kind of trap…”
Hearing this, Yu Hao nodded in agreement. But if what Tian Linzi said was false, and Ye Wushuang’s life was in danger, the four of them would likely not make it out alive either. This time, it really might not just be a futile effort, but a total disaster.
The four of them sat cross-legged on the ground, each recovering their strength. No matter what, they needed to maintain their best condition to survive the challenges ahead.
At that moment, a beam of light shot up from the tower at the summit, piercing through the clouds and causing the entire earth to tremble. What was happening?
The four of them looked towards the peak with a start.
Inside the tower, Ye Wushuang stood before the Hun Tian Bagua Sphere. The spiritual patterns surrounding her finally opened a path leading into the large Bagua Sphere. Tian Linzi laughed maniacally, “Yes, the seal is inside this Bagua Instrument. Open it, open it!”
Since everything had been seen through by Ye Wushuang, Tian Linzi no longer bothered to hide his intentions. After all, Ye Wushuang had no choice but to follow his orders now! The two young men named Mu Zili and Ji Ou were still in his grasp. If Ye Wushuang didn’t comply, he would kill them immediately! Tian Linzi had figured out that Ye Wushuang was not afraid of death and was willing to go down in flames, but she would never allow her friends to be in danger. Seizing this aspect of Ye Wushuang’s character, manipulating her was not difficult.
Hearing Tian Linzi’s words, Ye Wushuang stepped into the large Bagua Instrument. As soon as her figure entered, the channel that had been opened closed. Tian Linzi waited patiently. He was not worried that Ye Wushuang would betray him. If she didn’t break the seal, he would kill Mu Zili and Ji Ou immediately!
Now inside the Bagua Instrument, Ye Wushuang found herself in a vast, misty world. The sky and the earth were shrouded in fog, making it impossible to discern directions. She walked step by step, her senses on high alert. Suddenly, a stone wall appeared before her…
