The group immediately rushed over.

On the ground lay a corpse, its abdomen torn open, the death scene extremely gruesome.

“It’s him!”

Ye Wushuang looked at the body and exclaimed in astonishment, “Elder Xuangu!”

Earlier, during the Dongxu List ranking competition at Tianyuan Pavilion, it was Elder Xuangu who led the team from Xuantian Mansion. Ye Wushuang had met him several times. He was a very amiable old man. Moreover, Xuangu himself was already at the initial stage of the Plucking Star realm.

Throughout the Central Continent, among the top ten elite forces, there were probably dozens of individuals at the Plucking Star realm. It was said that within the Spirit Sword Pavilion, there were now nearly a hundred, or even over a hundred, individuals at the Plucking Star realm, making it the undisputed top power. In each first-class force, there might be a dozen or even just a few individuals at the Plucking Star realm. Of course, there were exceptions. For example, the Lu Mountain Lin family, which used to be one of the top ten elite forces, had fallen from grace but still had twenty to thirty individuals at the Plucking Star realm within their family. This was because in recent years, the Lin family had been suppressed by the Spirit Sword Pavilion and the Qi family; otherwise, they would have had at least fifty individuals at the Plucking Star realm. The Lin family was stronger than a first-class force but weaker than the top ten elite forces. The Spirit Qi Mountain Qi family, which had risen in recent years and replaced the Lin family as one of the top ten elite forces, was said to have over forty individuals at the Plucking Star realm. This level of strength was actually at the bottom among the top ten elite forces. Other families had at least fifty individuals at the Plucking Star realm.

The existence of a single individual at the Plucking Star realm was enough to be a stabilizing force, like a pillar in a storm, and was extremely crucial. Now, with Elder Xuangu of Xuantian Mansion dead here, it was clear that the previous battle must have been extremely perilous.

“The people from Wujie Alliance and Xuantian Mansion fought, judging by this situation… it seems that after the people from Xuantian Mansion were attacked by strange beasts, they encountered and fought with the people from Wujie Alliance…” Bao Qiuling examined the traces of the battle left around and said, “The situation on this Central Continent is really becoming more and more inscrutable.”

The group did not stay in this place for long. Ye Wushuang collected and took away the bodies of the warriors from Xuantian Mansion. In his previous life, he was quite familiar with the current mansion lords of Xuantian Mansion, and now, Xuantian Mansion was also very supportive of Shengtian Sect. If there was an opportunity to hand over the bodies of Xuangu and others to the people of Xuantian Mansion, it would allow them to be properly buried, which would be a form of consolation.

Inside the Tianxue Pit, although it was a large circular pit with blood-red soil, constantly shrouded in blood mist, there were still some peculiar terrains within it. After passing through the stone forest, everyone walked cautiously, stopping and going, and spent a whole day.

Suddenly.

Mu Xu walked up from the back of the group and looked at Ye Wushuang with a joyful expression, saying, “I received a message from Sister Siqi.”

Mu Xu took out a communication stone.

“Mu Xu, Qinghe, where are you?” A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

Mu Xu said, “This communication stone can only transmit messages within a hundred miles. Sister Siqi must not be far from us…”

“Did you reply to her?”

“Yeah!” Mu Xu said excitedly, “She said she’s coming to find us.”

“Good.”

So, everyone stopped and waited on the spot.

Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er, the two sisters, came to find Ye Wushuang and chatted with him in a desultory manner.

Bao Qiuling was extremely curious about Ye Wushuang.

This guy had become famous during the Dongxu List competition, and unexpectedly, he had reached the Seventh Calamity of the Self-Delusion realm so quickly.

Bao Qiuling herself was much older than Bao Yun’er and had now reached the Seventh Calamity of the Self-Delusion realm, which was already quite fast.

Throughout the Central Continent, among her peers, many people were also in the Self-Delusion realm, but without exception, these people had excellent talents, yet their real ages were much older than Ye Wushuang.

Although warriors at this level had a lifespan of thousands of years and did not pay much attention to age, the younger and higher the realm, the greater the potential.

Ye Wushuang was just such a genius.

While the group was resting on the spot, in the distance, there were small insects, some crawling on withered trees, and some squatting among the scattered rocks.

At the same time, ten miles away from the group, a team of people stopped.

“It really is Ye Wushuang!” A man in black, his face covered with a black veil, spoke in a deep voice, “I didn’t expect to run into him here.”

“Zhao Lang, have you observed carefully? You can’t make a mistake!” The man named Zhao Lang, dressed in black, replied discontentedly, “Yu Dong, if you don’t trust me, go and see for yourself!”

“The insect charms I’ve raised are perfectly suited to the environment of the Burial Sage Cave. They’ve made great progress recently.”

Hearing this, Yu Dong, standing beside him, said with a forced smile, “I just didn’t want you to make a mistake. If it’s really Ye Wushuang, that’s good. I can contact people from the Spirit Sword Pavilion and the Qi family. Let’s notify them quickly.”

Yu Dong was a member of the first-class Yu family, while Zhao Lang was from the first-class Zhao family. Both families were loyal followers of the Spirit Sword Pavilion.

Neither Yu Dong nor Zhao Lang had expected to run into Ye Wushuang here by chance.

At present, almost all the warriors from the Central Continent who had entered the Burial Sage Cave had gathered in the Tianxue Pit or had already passed through it and reached the Fanti Ridge.

Yu Dong quickly sent a message and then said, “The strong warriors from the Spirit Sword Pavilion and the Qi family who are close to us will definitely come as soon as they receive the message.”

“Alright!”

Zhao Lang smiled and said, “There are only eleven people on the other side, with three at the Plucking Star realm. It won’t be difficult to deal with them.”

The two of them, along with a few others, waited patiently at a distance from Ye Wushuang and his group.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a group of figures arrived quietly.

“Yu Dong!” A soft voice called out.

Zhao Lang, Yu Dong, and the others immediately stepped back to greet the arriving group.

“Uncle Qi!” Seeing the newcomers, Yu Dong’s eyes lit up with delight.

Qi Zhen, also known as Uncle Qi, was in the late stage of the Plucking Star realm. Yu Dong had not expected that Uncle Qi himself would come.

“Is it really Ye Wushuang?” he asked.

“Yes, it is!” Yu Dong replied excitedly, “A rare opportunity that comes once in a thousand years.”

Qi Zhen nodded upon hearing this.

“Uncle Qi, shall we strike now?” Yu Dong inquired.

“Wait a bit longer,” Qi Zhen said, looking at the people behind him and thinking, “Even with me, three people at the Plucking Star realm might not be enough. If we move, we must ensure that Ye Wushuang is killed without a doubt.”

“Who are we waiting for?” Zhao Lang couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Qi Zhen, however, just smiled without answering.
