“Are you certain, Chu Lingqi?”
Liu Yuan’ang gazed at the figure clad in a green robe, his brows furrowing deeply. If it truly was Xu Wenyuan, then today would not mark the end of Ye Wushuang, but rather their own demise.
Chu Lingqi, however, declared, “In the entire capital, only Zhang Ziyin and Xu Wenyuan possess the ability to shatter my spirit array!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang let out a soft chuckle and said, “Just now, you claimed it was only Zhang Ziyin, didn’t you?”
Chu Lingqi cast a cold glance at Ye Wushuang and remained silent, shifting her attention to the man in the green robe, his face concealed beneath a veil.
The mere presence of the man exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression that seemed insurmountable.
“Xu Wenyuan, is that you?”
Chu Lingqi spoke with a chilling indifference.
At that moment, the robed figure merely glanced at Ye Wushuang, and upon seeing that he was unharmed, he visibly relaxed a bit.
Chu Lingqi, still unconvinced, pressed, “Why are you aiding him?”
“Your Dark Soul Hall is like an underground emperor of the Qingyun Empire. When did you become entangled with Ye Wushuang?”
Ye Wushuang looked at Chu Lingqi and then laughed, “Stop trying to probe so hard. Unless… the person behind you makes an appearance!”
Behind you?
The expressions of Chu Lingqi, Liu Yuan’ang, and the others all changed abruptly.
“Surely not?”
Ye Wushuang, with a curious tone, continued, “You five great families wish to assassinate me. Did you truly send only someone at the initial stage of the Tian Gang realm? There should at least be a few at the mid or even late stages, right?”
This made Chu Lingqi’s face even more grim.
Why did it seem as if Ye Wushuang was aware of every detail of their plan today?
Could it be that there was a traitor within the family?
Impossible!
“Haha, Ye Wushuang, I have indeed underestimated you!”
Amidst the silence, a soft, smiling voice gradually echoed through the air.
On one side of the valley, the stone wall cracked and split, and a figure slowly emerged from within.
Tall and slender, with a complexion as smooth as jade and an aura of calmness, the figure stepped forward, occasionally glancing at the man in the green robe.
Finally, his eyes settled on Ye Wushuang.
Just as I thought!
Ye Wushuang sneered inwardly.
Even if the five great families were unaware of the connection between the Dark Soul Hall and him, they must have known that Tang Chuyi was extremely concerned about him. Sending someone at the initial stage of the Tian Gang realm to assassinate him was simply implausible.
The man who appeared was indeed formidable, exuding a palpable sense of pressure.
At that moment, Chu Lingqi, Liu Yuan’ang, and the other five people moved closer to this man.
Faced with the enigmatic figure in the green robe, they too felt a sense of trepidation.
After all, reaching the Tian Gang realm was extremely challenging, and they did not wish to fail in such a critical mission, especially one involving the assassination of Ye Wushuang.
The newly arrived man looked at the robed figure and laughed, “Xu Wenyuan, why is the Dark Soul Hall aiding Ye Wushuang?”
The robed figure, with a cold and indifferent gaze, replied, “Liu Guangyao, everyone from the five great families deserves to die!”
Liu Guangyao?
So this man was Liu Guangyao?
Ye Wushuang’s eyes widened in surprise.
Within the five great families, there were formidable figures.
Among the Liu clan, the six great elders were renowned, each possessing strength no less than the seventh stage of the Tian Gang realm.
And Liu Guangyao was one of them!
Liu Guangyao smiled and said, “This young man has caused us great losses. Many of our disciples have been injured or killed, and now even Liu Yiyu has been slain by him.”
“What this means, you should understand!”
“In the past, when he was merely in the Condensation Meridian realm, we could ignore him. Even when he was in the Yuanfu realm, we could turn a blind eye. But now…”
“Should he advance further, he will possess the strength of the Tian Gang realm, and we can no longer afford to ignore him!”
Liu Guangyao looked at Xu Wenyuan again and said, “I had considered that someone within the Qingyun Academy might secretly protect him, and the Qingyun Pavilion would also have his defenders. But I never expected the Dark Soul Hall to get involved as well!”
The robed figure neither denied nor confirmed.
“However, Xu Wenyuan… even if you are alone, it will be difficult to save him!” Liu Guangyao laughed. “I believe I can hold you off sufficiently, while the five of them should have no trouble killing Ye Wushuang!”
As Liu Guangyao’s words hung in the air, Chu Lingqi, Liu Yuan’ang, and the other five began to subtly gather their spiritual energy, preparing to strike at Ye Wushuang.
But at that very moment, the robed figure suddenly spoke: “Liu Guangyao, you are perhaps… underestimating a fourth-grade spirit array master just a bit too much.”
