In another valley, Li Wenbo crouched low, using the tall grass that reached halfway up his body to conceal himself. He held his breath and watched a group of figures ahead.

“Damn it!” Li Wenbo’s face changed as he recognized the leader of the group. It was Hua Cangyu from the Taiqing Palace. Alongside her were Tai Lingzi and Tai Shengzi, two other prominent figures from the Taiqing Palace. This was the strongest lineup the Taiqing Palace could muster. What were they doing here?

Li Wenbo was only a dozen meters away from the group, and he could hear their conversation clearly. Hua Cangyu, with her graceful demeanor and melodious voice, said, “We’ve lost the trail here…”

Tai Shengzi, who was emanating a faint spiritual glow, questioned, “Do you really have to kill Li Wenbo?”

“I won’t have peace until he’s dead,” Hua Cangyu replied calmly. Upon hearing this, Tai Shengzi fell silent.

Then Tai Lingzi, dressed in a long robe and equally ethereal, spoke up. “The valleys are surrounded by Cloud-Swallowing Grass. The scent it emits can paralyze a warrior’s spiritual energy and has blocked our tracking of Li Wenbo.”

“However… I sense the presence of Dragon’s Tongue Orchid,” he continued.

Dragon’s Tongue Orchid!

Tai Shengzi quickly asked, “Are you sure?”

“There should be no mistake,” Tai Lingzi replied.

“Let’s look around,” suggested Tai Shengzi.

“Alright,” Hua Cangyu agreed, and the three of them immediately began to disperse.

Li Wenbo seized this opportunity to leave. He ran all the way to a smaller valley, hastily gathered several trees, and dragged Chu Qingcheng into the cave, using the trees to block the entrance.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Qingcheng asked.

“Damn it, I ran into Hua Cangyu, Tai Shengzi, and Tai Lingzi,” Li Wenbo panted. This was really bad luck! The Qinglong Mountain range was so vast; what were the odds of running into them here?

No, it couldn’t be a coincidence. Hua Cangyu must have used some secret technique to track them here. She was definitely after him. This was terrifying!

“Where are they now?” Ye Wushuang, who was treating Qing Shiyu’s waist wound inside the cave, asked without turning around.

“They’re still some distance away. They probably won’t find us,” Li Wenbo replied. “But they’ve also detected the presence of Dragon’s Tongue Orchid here.”

Had they not encountered Qing Shiyu, the three of them might have already found the Dragon’s Tongue Orchid. But now, there was a high chance that Hua Cangyu and her group would get there first!

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang turned and said, “Sorry, I have to save her.”

Li Wenbo was taken aback. Was Qing Shiyu that important? Could she really be Ye Wushuang’s confidante?

Li Wenbo smiled and said, “It’s okay, go ahead and focus on treating her. I’ll keep watch here. If we miss out on the Dragon’s Tongue Orchid, so be it.”

Ye Wushuang nodded and said, “I’ll make it up to you.” He then quickly returned to treating Qing Shiyu.

Inside the cave, Qing Shiyu lay on the bedding, her clothes torn apart to expose the scabbed wounds on her waist. Ye Wushuang carefully cleaned the wounds and applied medicinal powder. He was extremely cautious and fully concentrated.

Chu Qingcheng and Li Wenbo sat inside the cave entrance, silent and watchful, staring outside. Time ticked by slowly.

Suddenly, a group of figures arrived outside the small valley. Li Wenbo and Chu Qingcheng both held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

“It’s the siblings, Li Xinheng and Li Xinyue,” Li Wenbo cursed under his breath. “Damn it, why are all these people swarming here?”

Li Xinheng and Li Xinyue, along with more than ten others, entered the valley and looked around. In just half a month, both siblings had reached the second tier of the Tian Gang realm, and the dozen or so people following them were mostly at the first tier. This was a formidable lineup.

Li Wenbo gestured to Chu Qingcheng to stay quiet. These people seemed to be just checking the place out and might leave soon. Chu Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

Inside the valley, Li Xinheng and Li Xinyue stood still, looking at the tranquil valley with its small trees, grass, and stream. They were quite disappointed.

“Dragon’s Tongue Orchid… Is there really Dragon’s Tongue Orchid here?” Li Xinyue asked in confusion. “Brother, could we be mistaken?”

“No way,” Li Xinheng replied. “Let’s check other places.”

“Okay,” Li Xinyue agreed, and the siblings turned to leave with their group.

But just then, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the valley.
