“Yeah… it’s so strange…”
Yin Shenghao raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but say, “What on earth are these guys up to…”
The man in the purple robe didn’t engage in a life-and-death battle with him. Instead, he just parried and seemed to be stalling for time.
Yin Shenghao had thought that the man was just trying to hold him back, and there were other powerful figures at the Star-Picking Transformation Realm who were preparing to attack Ye Wushuang.
But in the end, there was no such attack!
This was truly puzzling!
“Let’s head back to Lingjian Mountain first!”
“Okay.”
As the sky gradually brightened, the group of people encountered no further danger on their way back to Lingjian Mountain.
At the same time, in a dense forest in the land of Qingzhou.
A group of people dressed in black stopped and camped here.
The man in the purple robe slowly took off his veil, revealing a sharply chiseled face. He appeared to be in his thirties, with a hint of fierceness around his eyebrows and eyes.
“Liu Cheng, how do you feel?”
The man in the purple robe looked at the young man in black sitting on the ground beside him.
At this moment, the young man in black also removed his veil, revealing a handsome and upright face that was somewhat pale.
His abdomen and back were torn, and he was injured by the sword qi.
Upon hearing the man in the purple robe’s question, Liu Cheng opened his mouth.
“Puff…”
He spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
The two people beside him quickly used their spiritual energy to help him.
Liu Cheng’s face turned bitter as he said, “I had thought that I was on par with him, or perhaps just a bit inferior. But now it seems…”
Liu Cheng hadn’t expected that after his battle with Ye Wushuang, although he only had a few wounds on his body, now that the injuries flared up, the backlash was incredibly terrifying. The remaining sword qi was even starting to cut through his meridians and bones.
The gap between them was enormous!
You see, Liu Cheng was also a prodigious figure, and he was two realms higher than Ye Wushuang.
“Uncle Fengtian, why is this guy so powerful?”
Liu Cheng looked at the man in the purple robe with a look of dissatisfaction.
“Wait a moment. Maybe we’ll know soon.”
The man in the purple robe sighed and looked into the distance.
After a while, the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and someone was rapidly approaching.
The next moment, a woman wearing a purple robe and a cape, with a purple veil on her face, landed.
The man in the purple robe stood up and said, “Third sister, how’s it going?”
“Hmm?”
The woman in the purple robe looked at the man in the purple robe and couldn’t help but say, “Shu Fengtian, you’re injured?”
The man in the purple robe said indifferently, “It’s just a minor injury…”
“A minor injury?” The woman in the purple robe sneered. “You’ve been in the Saint Entering Heaven Realm for many years. How could you be injured by Yin Shenghao?”
Hearing the sarcasm in the woman in the purple robe’s words, Shu Fengtian shouted, “Shu Shuiyun!”
“Anyway, I’m still your second brother!”
Upon hearing this, the woman in the purple robe gave a cold laugh and then said, “Did you get Ye Wushuang’s blood?”
“Yeah.”
Liu Cheng stood up and took out a small jade bottle.
The woman in the purple robe took the jade bottle and then took out a jade compass.
The jade compass was only about the size of a palm, half black and half white, presenting the power of the Taiji.
The woman poured a drop of blood from the jade bottle onto the black half, and a drop of blood also flowed out from the white half.
Soon, the two drops of blood merged, but after a while, they separated again.
“It’s not him!”
Shu Fengtian’s expression froze.
“Is Ye Wushuang not a descendant of Ling Shengtian?”
Shu Fengtian looked incredibly surprised as he said, “Then why… why do Yin Shenghao, Su Chenyang, and Si Luoyi care so much about this kid? And why is this kid willing to risk his life to protect Lingjian Mountain?”
This was truly something that left them puzzled!
Shu Shuiyun slowly said, “Could it be that we’ve all guessed wrong…”
Liu Cheng stood aside, remaining silent.
He didn’t understand why these two people and the figures behind them cared so much about Lingjian Mountain and Ye Wushuang.
Shu Fengtian sighed and couldn’t help but say, “This trip isn’t entirely fruitless. At least we know that Yin Shenghao pays a great deal of attention to this kid. It’s very difficult to assassinate this kid. Only by luring Yin Shenghao away will there be a chance.”
“Secondly, we’ve confirmed that this kid isn’t a descendant of Ling Shengtian, so he’s not of much use to us.”
Shu Shuiyun couldn’t help but say, “But Yin Shenghao cares so much about this kid, and yet he’s not a descendant of Ling Shengtian. This doesn’t make sense. In that case, isn’t our clue broken?”
“Maybe Yin Shenghao knows something. Ling Shengtian once trusted him wholeheartedly in the past.”
Shu Shuiyun shook her head.
Liu Cheng looked confused and said, “Two adults, what are you talking about? Why do you care so much about this Ye Wushuang? What’s the big deal if he’s a descendant of Ling Shengtian or not?”
Shu Shuiyun looked at Liu Cheng and said indifferently, “When you reach our level, you’ll naturally understand!”
Liu Cheng gave an embarrassed smile.
Reach the Saint Entering Heaven Realm?
He hadn’t even entered the Self-Illusion Realm yet. After the Self-Illusion Realm was the Star-Picking Transformation Realm, and the Saint Entering Heaven Realm was still a long way off!
“Alright, let our people retreat!”
Shu Shuiyun then said, “Next, it will be the battle between Xu Ziyun and Yin Shenghao.”
Shu Fengtian couldn’t help but say, “If you and I join forces, along with Xu Ziyun, perhaps we can kill Yin Shenghao. Once Yin Shenghao is killed, all our troubles will be gone.”
Shu Shuiyun shook her head and said, “Regarding everything about Ling Shengtian, Yin Shenghao is the one who knows the most. Even if this Ye Wushuang isn’t Yin Shenghao’s descendant, there must be some unknown relationship between him and Yin Shenghao…”
“If we kill him just like that, we won’t be able to get any news about the Saint Burial Cave at all.”
Shu Fengtian furrowed his brows.
The current problem was that neither Yin Shenghao nor Ye Wushuang seemed to know about the existence of the Saint Burial Cave.
But they weren’t sure whether these two actually knew or not.
If they didn’t know, it wouldn’t matter if they were killed.
But if they did know, killing them would cause big trouble.
“Then what? Are we just going to wait like this? Aren’t we going to make any more attempts?” Shu Fengtian’s tone carried a hint of frustration.
