Without delay, Ye Wushuang turned and began to walk away. Li Wenbo hurriedly followed suit. From the moment Ye Wushuang had unleashed that single, devastating sword strike, Li Xinhen, Li Xinyue, Prince Tianxu, and Tai Shengzi had remained utterly speechless. It was only after the two figures vanished into the stone forest that the four of them finally let out a sigh of relief. That one sword strike had exerted an immense pressure on them, leaving them in a state of shock.
“Where does this young man come from?” Prince Tianxu couldn’t help but ask.
Beside him, Tai Shengzi replied indifferently, “I saw Li Wenbo with him earlier. He might be from Lingjian Mountain…”
“A surname Ye… When did Lingjian Mountain produce such a young and extraordinary swordsman?”
Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue, however, remained silent and led their people away. With the Heavenly Fragrance Rain taken by Ye Wushuang, the three factions no longer had a reason to fight among themselves.
“Brother…”
After walking a considerable distance, Li Xinyue looked at her elder brother and comforted him, “Even Tai Shengzi and Prince Tianxu are no match for Brother Xing. You shouldn’t be discouraged!”
Li Xinhen stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and said slowly, “I’m not discouraged. It’s just that… when the ancient tomb of Li Yun appeared this time, the clan elders instructed me that if the tomb truly emerged, the Li King’s Tripod must be retrieved…”
“But now, I can’t defeat Prince Tianxu, and I was almost killed by that young man with the surname Ye. The Li King’s Tripod…”
Li Xinyue quickly interjected, “The Li King’s Tripod belongs to our clan. They can’t take it away!”
Li Xinhen shook his head and continued on his way…
On the other side, Li Wenbo followed Ye Wushuang as they left.
“Brother Ye, you’re awesome!” Li Wenbo chuckled, “That single sword strike almost killed Li Xinhen. Thinking about the expressions on their faces, I still want to laugh.”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile and said, “Then show me how you laugh.”
“Uh…” Li Wenbo laughed awkwardly, “Brother Ye, the Heavenly Fragrance Rain is a divine medicine for healing and enhancing one’s abilities. It can even lead to sudden enlightenment. Can you spare a bit for me?”
“You have the nerve to ask me for it?” Ye Wushuang snorted, “You were the one who said you didn’t want it just now.”
“I was just joking!” Li Wenbo quickly explained, “I just wanted to give Brother Ye a chance to show off your skills!”
“Then I should thank you?”
“Not necessarily, just give me some Heavenly Fragrance Rain.”
“Get lost!”
“Don’t be like that…”
The two continued on their way. After passing through the stone forest, they came upon a grove of trees. The ground was covered with gravel, and the trees appeared to be on the verge of death. Even more unsettling, there were numerous skeletal remains of spiritual beasts scattered about, and the deeper they went, the more of these remains they found. Eventually, they stumbled upon the remains of several human corpses!
“Wait a moment,” Ye Wushuang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong?” Li Wenbo asked, noticing that Ye Wushuang was staring intently at a human skeleton on the ground.
Li Wenbo then realized, “Oh, I see. Brother Ye has a thing for these.”
“Get out of here!” Ye Wushuang retorted, “This skeleton is fresh!”
Fresh?
Li Wenbo examined it for a while before agreeing, “You’re right!”
He scratched his bald head and said in amazement, “It must have died not long ago. The flesh is gone, leaving only the bones…”
The more he thought about it, the more eerie it seemed.
“Be careful,” Ye Wushuang warned.
“Sure,” Li Wenbo replied.
The two continued deeper into the desolate forest, where the trees were nothing more than decaying trunks, on the verge of rotting away. They stepped over several more fresh skeletons as they pressed on.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the ground behind them. In an instant, numerous tentacles burst through the earth, lunging towards the two of them.
Whoosh, whoosh…
The two of them leaped to the sides almost simultaneously.
“There’s definitely something fishy going on here,” Li Wenbo couldn’t help but look back, his expression puzzled as he said, “What kind of spiritual beast is this?”
“It’s not a spiritual beast!” Ye Wushuang tightened his grip on the Tianya Sword, frowning as he looked at the thick tentacles, each as wide as a thigh, emerging from the ground.
