“Are you… truly willing?”
Tao Qingyang looked at Ye Wushuang, his voice trembling with emotion. Even as a Sage, the thought of dying in a foreign land, with his remains unable to return home, was a profound regret for Tao Qingyang.
“Of course…”
Ye Wushuang replied earnestly, “As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost.”
“Very well, very well, very well.”
Tao Qingyang, momentarily losing his composure, said, “I hail from the Tao Clan of the Xuanyuan Domain. Should you find my remains, head to the Xuanyuan Domain and seek out the Tao Clan. Once you explain my plight, they will understand.”
Ye Wushuang bowed and said, “I shall do my best, as a junior should.”
“Thank you.”
Tao Qingyang also stood up and returned the gesture with a bow.
Then, Tao Qingyang continued, “When you awaken, you will find yourselves where you came from. I wish you all the best.”
“Thank you.”
The dream came to an end.
Quickly.
Inside the dilapidated temple.
Ye Wushuang and Tang Bingwen woke up one after another. Looking around the temple, Tang Bingwen felt as if he was in a dream.
“Brother, do you really plan to go to that Fanzhuan Ridge? Even Sages die there; it’s far too dangerous. Let’s hand over the spiritual techniques to those from the Qingyang Hall and keep the black jade for ourselves. Why take such a risk?” Tang Bingwen tried to persuade him.
Ye Wushuang replied, “What I have promised, I must fulfill, just as I promised to take care of you, and I will.”
Hearing this, Tang Bingwen felt a warmth in his heart.
“Alright, let’s go outside!”
Ye Wushuang added, “There are my companions outside. Remember, do not speak of our situation to anyone; it is our secret.”
“Okay!”
Then, the two of them left the hall. When they stepped out of the temple gate once more, a winding mountain path stretched out before them, its end unknown.
…
At the same time.
Beneath the gloomy abyss, under the towering statue.
Yu Yourong and Tian Linzi, along with Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe, had been waiting here for seven days. During these seven days, Zhuo Qun and Han Chen had suffered as if in hell.
Zhuo Qun was at the late stage of the Star-Picking Realm.
Han Chen was at the mid-stage of the Star-Picking Realm.
To prevent them from recovering, Yu Yourong had been breaking their limbs every day.
Under such torture, the two men were on the verge of mental collapse.
At this moment.
Tian Linzi emerged from a cave on the left side of the statue, where the screams of Zhuo Qun and Han Chen could be heard echoing.
“Let’s just kill these two,” Tian Linzi said coldly. “They’re nothing but trouble…”
Yu Yourong looked towards the cave, then at the statue, and frowned, “Let’s wait a little longer. Master Ye… hasn’t come out yet…”
No one knew what Ye Wushuang was going through, or if he would even come out. But Tian Linzi had said he was alive, so they continued to wait.
On the other side.
Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and the others were gathered together.
Li Xuan said to his young master and miss, “Young master, we can’t just wait here like them, can we?”
“This Ye Wushuang seems like a good person for offering to help us, but according to what those two captured men said, he seems to have quite a few enemies on the Tianyuan Continent…”
Mu Xu looked at Li Xuan and frowned, “What are you trying to say?”
“Master, we came here to find the Ziwei Blood Ginseng. Ye Wushuang has many grudges of his own. Staying with him might put us in even greater danger.”
“I admit he means well, but we must also think of ourselves. This time, the Ziwei Blood Ginseng is crucial to the safety of Lord Mu Qingyun. We can’t afford to wait.”
The group had come to the Burial Saint Cave to find medicine. If they lingered too long, they might miss their chance.
Hearing this, Mu Xu frowned and said, “Master Ye promised to help us. Since we don’t know if he’s alive or dead, even if we have to part ways, we should wait until he comes out.”
Li Xuan, hearing this, opened his mouth but said nothing more. He couldn’t understand why his young master trusted Ye Wushuang so much!
At that moment, two figures leaped from the passage and landed with a few bounds.
“Master, something’s not right!” one of them said. “A large group of warriors is coming this way!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and the others all stood up.
“Did you see who they are?” Mu Xu immediately demanded.
“It seems… they’re from the Lingjian Pavilion of the Tianyuan Continent!”
Tian Linzi and Yu Yourong, who were not far away, also changed expressions upon hearing this.
The Lingjian Pavilion?
Why had people from the Lingjian Pavilion found their way here?
“Damn it!”
Yu Yourong cursed under his breath, his figure flashing as he rushed towards the cave where Zhuo Qun and Han Chen were imprisoned.
In a short while.
Yu Yourong threw the two men out and shouted, “Was it you? Did you notify the Lingjian Pavilion?”
Hearing this, Zhuo Qun’s face turned pale as he stammered, “It wasn’t us, it wasn’t!”
Han Chen was also trembling in fear. Suddenly, as if remembering something, Han Chen spoke up, “Zhuo Qun and I used to act together. Later, we were with Yu Hongyi, who had a brother named Yu Hongcheng. It might have been Yu Hongyi who told Yu Hongcheng!”
“Are you playing me for a fool?”
Yu Yourong stomped on Han Chen’s head and shouted, “You knew about it before and didn’t say anything, just waiting for Yu Hongcheng to bring people to rescue you, weren’t you?”
“I didn’t, I didn’t…” Han Chen wailed miserably, his face contorted.
At this moment.
In the dark passage, night-luminous stones were thrown high into the air and then fell to the ground, illuminating the surroundings.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Figures broke through the air at this moment.
“Yu Yourong, your time has come!!”
A cold, menacing shout echoed through the passage.
Yu Yourong looked up to see a middle-aged man in blue combat attire, holding a fine steel staff, staring at him coldly.
