Clang…
The deep, resonant clang echoed outwards.
Yu Yourong, being at the mid-stage of the Star-Plucking Transformation Realm, even a casual slash from her would be impossible for a Delusion Realm warrior to withstand.
But…
The clang resounded loudly.
On the ground, the roar of explosions was unceasing.
Ye Wushuang hurriedly rushed over, anxiously calling out: “Bingwen, Bingwen…”
“Cough, cough… cough, cough…”
Amidst the flying stone chips, a series of coughs rang out. Tang Bingwen emerged with a disheveled appearance, his face pale as he said: “Brother, that was terrifying!”
Seeing this scene, Yu Yourong and the others were taken aback.
Brother?
What nonsense?
At this moment, Ye Wushuang’s expression also froze.
Yu Yourong’s casual slash would be hard enough for someone in the Delusion Realm to block, yet Tang Bingwen’s instinctive defense left him unscathed?
This guy had actually withstood the slash with his bare body!
“Are you alright?”
Ye Wushuang looked at the disheveled Tang Bingwen, his concern evident.
“Brother, that woman is so fierce!”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Yu Yourong and inwardly agreed with Tang Bingwen’s “fierce” assessment.
“Everyone, don’t be nervous. This is Tang Bingwen, a partner I met in the void space.”
Ye Wushuang explained, looking at Tang Bingwen and raising an eyebrow.
Tang Bingwen immediately understood Ye Wushuang’s meaning.
As his brother had said, their brotherly relationship must not be known to a third party.
“Partner?”
Yu Yourong’s delicate brows furrowed as she scrutinized Tang Bingwen closely.
She sensed his extraordinariness, yet she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Ye Wushuang quickly moved to Yu Yourong’s side and whispered, “I met him inside a coffin in the void space. He’s probably surnamed Tang, but I don’t know his given name—he’s lost his memory…”
“So… you deceived him?”
Ye Wushuang looked at Yu Yourong with a solemn expression and corrected her, “How can it be called deception? I thought he was in danger being alone with amnesia, so I wanted to protect him.”
Yu Yourong’s face turned strange as she looked at Ye Wushuang, pausing for a moment before saying, “This is too dangerous. If he regains his memory and realizes you lied to him, do you think he’ll let you off easily?”
“If he’s pretending to have amnesia, then… it’s even more dangerous.”
Ye Wushuang remained silent.
“Why not just kill him?”
“No.”
Ye Wushuang insisted, “A person resurrected by the Blood-Reversing Technique, and found in this Burial Saint Cave, might be able to help us in some way.”
Yu Yourong looked at Tang Bingwen in the distance, her eyes showing a hint of hostility.
She had received instructions from Su Chenyang to ensure Ye Wushuang’s safety and to eliminate any potential threats as early as possible. But since Ye Wushuang was insistent, she had nothing more to say.
“Bingwen, come here…”
Ye Wushuang waved his hand, and Tang Bingwen approached. Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “These are my friends—Yu Yourong, Tian Linzi, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe…”
Tang Bingwen looked at the group and revealed a gentle smile, appearing quite harmless.
“Alright, there’s no point in staying here. Let’s go.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The group of nine began to make their way out of the abyssal passage.
Half an hour later, they emerged onto the surface, where the gentle sunlight bathed them, bringing a sense of relief and comfort.
The Burial Saint Cave was filled with abysses and gullies, densely packed, and staying there for too long made one feel very oppressed.
“Rest for half a day, and then we’ll set off again.”
“Okay!”
“Sure.”
Ye Wushuang mainly considered Yu Yourong’s injury, which was why he suggested the group take a break.
Before long, Mu Xu approached Ye Wushuang and asked, “Master Ye, where do you plan to go next?”
After pondering for a moment, Ye Wushuang replied, “We have very little information about the Ziwei Blood Ginseng. We can only rely on luck and search around.”
Mu Xu said, “Actually, my sister and I don’t know about the Ziwei Blood Ginseng, but Bai Siqi does have some information. If only we could find Sister Siqi…”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but ask, “Is there a way to contact her?”
“Yes, there is. We can use a sound-transmitting stone, but it requires being within a hundred li to receive the message.”
Sound-transmitting stones are spiritual instruments used by martial artists to communicate over long distances, and they come in various types. A sound-transmitting stone that can connect within a hundred li is already of a high grade.
However, the Burial Saint Cave is vast. It is densely packed with all sorts of environments, so it’s not that easy to contact each other using a sound-transmitting stone.
“Keep trying to contact Bai Siqi. If we can reach her, we’ll go to her!”
“Okay.”
Mu Xu nodded and asked, “So, where do we go next?”
“To the Burial Saint Cave’s Fanzhuan Ridge!”
Fanzhuan Ridge?
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu’s expression changed.
“You know about this place?”
“Before coming, I read quite a few ancient texts and learned a bit,” Mu Xu immediately said, “The Fanzhuan Ridge in the Burial Saint Cave is said to be the most dangerous place within the cave. It is rumored that a sage once came to the Burial Saint Cave and perished right there in Fanzhuan Ridge.”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “That’s not just a rumor—it’s true!”
“I encountered several sages in the void space earlier, and they all died at Fanzhuan Ridge…”
Hearing this, Mu Xu couldn’t help but shiver. Although he had reached the Sixth Tribulation of the Delusion Realm and his strength had greatly increased, a place where even sages could perish was terrifying to imagine.
Ye Wushuang continued, “Since we can’t contact Bai Siqi and don’t know where the Ziwei Blood Ginseng is, heading to Fanzhuan Ridge is probably our best chance to find it.”
“The information I have suggests that within the Fanzhuan Ridge area, there is a suppression of the heavenly rules, which strongly affects sages. Moreover, the stronger one’s cultivation, the greater the suppression. So, we might actually have a chance.”
Hearing this, Mu Xu looked at Ye Wushuang, opening his mouth for a moment but unable to say anything.
“Go ahead and ask what you want to ask!”
“Master Ye…” Mu Xu spoke frankly, “To be honest, when you said you were going to Fanzhuan Ridge to find the Ziwei Blood Ginseng, even I instinctively felt afraid, but you didn’t seem scared at all!”
“Finding the Ziwei Blood Ginseng might not necessarily save my aunt. It might just slow down the decline of her vitality a bit.”
“But you’re willing to risk your life to help us. I really can’t understand what you… are after.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was taken aback for a moment.
