“Clashing sounds of battle!”
Yu Yourong’s delicate face was tinged with a hint of vigilance as she suddenly spoke.
Ye Wushuang nodded in agreement.
“Judging by the sound, it’s at least twenty li away from us,” she said.
“No!”
Ye Wushuang interjected directly, “The red mist here has a dampening effect on the transmission of sound and the ripples of energy. What seems to be twenty li away might actually be just two or three li.”
Yu Yourong’s alertness heightened even more.
“To the left front, let’s go, and be cautious,” she instructed.
The group moved forward together, and sure enough, within two li, the sounds of battle grew clearer, and there were splashes of bright red blood on the ground.
Soon, they saw several bodies lying on the ground.
Yu Yourong and Tian Linzi carefully examined the scene.
After a short while, Yu Yourong turned to Ye Wushuang and said, “They are from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.”
Tianbao Chamber of Commerce?
Ye Wushuang took a closer look and saw that although the clothing of these individuals varied, each had a carved mark of a sycee, which was indeed the emblem of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.
“The other party must be from the Yun family of Yuntianshan,” Yu Yourong continued. “It seems the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and the Yun family have clashed.”
“The Tianbao Chamber of Commerce usually stays out of the conflicts among various factions on the Central Continent. Their only competitor is the Tianyuan Pavilion. How did they end up fighting the Yun family…?”
Upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Yu Yourong laughed and said, “That was outside the Burial Sage Cave. We are not outside the cave anymore, are we?”
“Hmm…”
“Should we intervene?” Yu Yourong asked. “Our Shengtian Sect has already begun trading with both the Tianyuan Pavilion and the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. But the Yun family… ever since the death of Yun Ping last time, we have essentially declared war on them.”
“Moreover, while it is not obvious to outsiders, in my years on the Central Continent, serving as Elder Su’s eyes and gathering intelligence on various factions, I have learned that the Yun family has been secretly very close to the Lingjian Pavilion in recent years!”
Yu Yourong spoke frankly, “The reason why Yin Shenghao did not show mercy and killed Yun Ping last time was to warn the Yun family to stay out of the affairs between our Shengtian Sect and the Lingjian Pavilion!”
Since the Yun family has taken sides with the Lingjian Pavilion, they are undoubtedly an enemy of the Shengtian Sect.
This is beyond doubt.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Ye Wushuang calmly said, “Let’s observe the situation first. If there are any Yun family members at the peak of the Hua Jing or any perfect beings present, it will be difficult for us to intervene.”
“Hmm…”
At that very moment, Tian Linzi whispered, “Master, there’s still a survivor over here.”
The group quickly approached.
A warrior from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce lay on the ground, his chest pierced and blood dripping down, yet he still had a faint breath left.
“Are they from the Yun family?” Yu Yourong asked.
The man groaned, “Yun family… Yun Hongda… with more than twenty people… surrounded us.”
“Who is the leader of your Tianbao Chamber of Commerce group?”
“Huo Ding… Elder Huo Ding…”
Yu Yourong further inquired, “How many of you are there, and who else from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce?”
The man’s voice was intermittent as he said, “Miss Bao Qiuling, Miss Bao Yun’er… they…”
He died mid-sentence.
Yu Yourong then explained, “Yun Hongda is a core figure of the Yun family, at the late stage of the Zhai Xing Hua Jing.”
“Elder Huo Ding is one of the high-ranking and powerful elders of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, also at the late stage of the Zhai Xing Hua Jing.”
“Bao Yun’er is the daughter of the president of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, Bao Tianya, while Bao Qiuling is the daughter of Bao Tianchuan, the second-in-command of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.”
“Bao Tianchuan is the younger brother of Bao Tianya.”
Yu Yourong had spent many years on the Central Continent and was well-versed in the major, first-tier, and second-tier forces there.
Had it not been for this, Su Chenyang would not have insisted that Yu Yourong must stay close to Ye Wushuang at all times.
It was not just because of Yu Yourong’s initial strength at the early stage of the Hua Jing, but also because of her comprehensive knowledge of information.
“Should we help?” Yu Yourong asked Ye Wushuang.
“Let’s help!”
Ye Wushuang made up his mind and said, “Back in the Xu Sheng Space, I had met Bao Yun’er a few times. That woman had shown me kindness, and now we have trade dealings with the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.”
“Moreover, the Yun family is already on the opposing side, so there’s no need to be polite.”
“Alright!”
Ye Wushuang then turned to Mu Xu and said, “You all should not get involved. You are here to search for the Ziwei Blood Ginseng and should not get too deeply entangled…”
Before Mu Xu could speak, Ye Wushuang continued, “Moreover, Tang Bingwen needs protection. You should stay here and protect Bingwen. Yu Yourong, Tian Linzi, and I will go and check it out.”
“Okay.”
Mu Xu did not insist further.
Soon, Ye Wushuang, Yu Yourong, and Tian Linzi set off towards the front…
At the same time, in the forest.
Despite the fierce battle, the blood trees in the forest were not severely damaged.
Permanently shrouded in blood mist, these trees were quite sturdy. Even if someone at the Wangwo Jing level collided with them, it would be difficult to break them.
Ye Wushuang, Yu Yourong, and Tian Linzi spread out to the left, right, and center, moving forward cautiously…
Within the battlefield.
Shouts of anger and the clashing of weapons continued to ring out.
At this moment.
A group from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, consisting of seven or eight people, stood their ground.
However, surrounding these seven or eight people were more than twenty individuals, armed with spiritual weapons and exuding a murderous aura.
These more than twenty people had varying attire, but all bore the Yun family emblem.
The leader was a tall and burly middle-aged man, wielding a broad knife, his body stained with blood and exuding a fierce aura.
The middle-aged man looked at the seven or eight people surrounded and sneered, “Brother Huo Ding, don’t resist in vain. I know that you, earlier at an ancient site outside the Blood Pit territory, fought with a ninth-rank spirit beast to obtain the Chiyan Tianhui and sustained a serious injury to your chest…”
Upon hearing this, the leader among the surrounded seven or eight people, a thin and pale-faced man, cursed in a low voice, “Yun Hongda, if you kill us, neither the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce nor the Yun family will let this go.”
“Our Tianbao Chamber of Commerce has trade relations with various forces and never interferes in your internal disputes. Why did you…?”
“Never interfere?” Yun Hongda directly interrupted Elder Huo Ding’s words.
