Boom…
Inside the vast valley.
A terrifying rumbling sound erupted once again.
Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu were gasping for breath, and both of them were soaked in sweat.
As the rumbling sound subsided.
A spiritual tree, nine zhang tall with withered branches and leaves, was finally cut down by the two of them. It toppled to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
This spiritual tree blocked their path. Its branches were like willow twigs, endless. Several times, Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu were put in a dangerous situation because of it.
Now, they had finally severed the connection between the tree and the ground.
“This is the Ghost Poppy Tree!”
Ye Wushuang exhaled and said, “This tree nourishes itself by absorbing the blood and qi of living creatures. Its branches are like willow branches, unending. It can’t be killed unless its roots are cut off.”
Qing Shiyu’s pretty face turned red, and she nodded.
Along the way, in this valley, they had encountered all kinds of strange things.
Sometimes, they had to fight their way through, while at other times, they had to keenly detect the weaknesses of the things blocking their path.
Ye Wushuang was extremely familiar with these situations.
However, Qing Shiyu was already used to Ye Wushuang’s extensive knowledge.
The two of them continued to move forward.
The vast valley became dim.
After the two of them advanced dozens of li, dark clouds loomed ahead, and strange cackling sounds suddenly rang out.
Ye Wushuang’s expression turned solemn.
“Soul-Stealing Insects!”
Soul-Stealing Insects?
What were they?
Qing Shiyu looked at Ye Wushuang in confusion.
“They are a very rare kind of spiritual beast. They are extremely small and invisible to the naked eye. They can enter the human body through the surface, flow into the brain along the blood, and then grow by devouring the souls of living beings,” Ye Wushuang said seriously. “Shiyu, you should withdraw!”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu was taken aback for a moment, then said, “I don’t want to.”
Having come this far, she didn’t want to back out.
Once she withdrew, Ye Wushuang would have to face the unknown danger alone.
Ye Wushuang said, “For these Soul-Stealing Insects, without a powerful spiritual artifact to protect the soul, there’s no way to defend against them.”
“You are very powerful, not much different from me. But you can’t withstand the attacks of the Soul-Stealing Insects.”
Hearing this, Qing Shiyu bit her lips.
“Don’t worry. If I can’t get through the rest of the way, I will also withdraw,” Ye Wushuang continued. “That Yu Liuli is different from Tian Linzi and Xiao Guangling. She has no intention of killing us.”
Seeing that Qing Shiyu still didn’t want to leave, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “Don’t worry. There are still many people waiting for me to defeat, and many things waiting for me to do. I’m not willing to lose my life here.”
Qing Shiyu knew that this wasn’t the time for her to be willful.
“Then be careful. If you can’t hold up, you must withdraw, or… or I won’t forgive you.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and nodded.
Qing Shiyu stepped back and withdrew from this area.
When her figure disappeared.
Ye Wushuang let out a sigh.
“Soul-Stealing Insects…”
What he had said to Qing Shiyu wasn’t a lie.
The Soul-Stealing Insects didn’t have any substantial means of attack, but their attack on a martial artist’s soul was extremely difficult to defend against.
If it weren’t for his Nine-Layered Tower of Suppressing the Spirit, he wouldn’t be completely sure of staying.
“Come on!”
Ye Wushuang took a step forward, his face showing no fear.
…
After Qing Shiyu withdrew from the valley, at a glance, the surrounding land was no longer chaotic but was a forest.
As she walked along the forest, suddenly.
“Shiyu!”
A familiar voice called out.
It was Mu Qiqi.
Seeing Mu Qiqi appear, Qing Shiyu walked up to her.
“Qiqi, are you okay?”
“I should be the one asking you that,” Mu Qiqi grabbed Qing Shiyu’s hands and looked her up and down. “Are you okay?”
Qing Shiyu shook her head.
Soon, Qin Muyu, Li Wenqing, Mu Zili, Ji Ou, Li Wenbo, and Su Jinyue all appeared.
“Shiyu…”
Su Jinyue also came forward and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re okay, that’s great. Where’s Ye Wushuang?”
Then, Qing Shiyu recounted their experiences of the past half month one by one.
“It’s too dangerous…”
Qin Muyu frowned and said, “Even when the two of you were together, it was so full of twists and turns. And now he’s alone…”
“I believe he can do it!”
Qing Shiyu looked behind her and said with certainty, “After all, he has never let anyone down.”
…
Inside the vast valley.
Bang!!!
A burly figure fell to the ground.
And then, Ye Wushuang also plopped down on the ground, gasping for breath.
This was already the eighteenth obstacle they had encountered.
Ye Wushuang didn’t know when it would end.
But Ye Wushuang understood that if this continued, he was afraid he would have to admit defeat.
Just as he was thinking this, the valley ahead suddenly opened up.
The dim and desolate world, cleared of its haze, suddenly became bright.
Petals fell one after another. Yu Liuli, like a fairy in the mortal world, stood barefoot in front of Ye Wushuang, untouched by the dust.
“You are truly extraordinary. My previous evaluation of you was rather low,” Yu Liuli said in an empty and ethereal voice. “The Saint Entering Heaven Realm might just be your starting point.”
“Thank you for the compliment!”
Ye Wushuang gasped for breath and said, “If there are a few more obstacles like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on.”
Yu Liuli looked at Ye Wushuang, and her voice turned cold as she said, “Now, tell me, how did you know I was Yu Liuli?”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “This restricted area is so big. I saw your portrait, and I still…”
“You’d better not tell lies,” Yu Liuli said indifferently. “In my life, I have never left a portrait behind…”
“Er…”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression froze.
“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth,” Ye Wushuang spread his hands and said. “In fact, I’m the reincarnation of Bai Haoran. Now my name is Ye Wushuang. Mu Beige is my younger brother. This restricted area was condensed before his death.”
“Moreover, I met Mu Beige. He told me that in his life, he lived up to the heavens and the earth, but he let someone down. He wanted me to meet that person, and that person is you…”
Hearing this, Yu Liuli’s expression froze.
Just then.
Whoosh…
Ye Wushuang suddenly felt that his whole body soared into the air from the ground…
