“You know, my Pure Essence Spirit allows me to ascend in cultivation swiftly. Moreover, over the past two months, I’ve been with my sister, battling spirit beasts, and that’s how I reached the Tian Gang realm,” Qing Shiyu said, her voice trembling slightly.

At this point, she hugged her legs tighter and continued, “A few days ago, within the mountain range, we encountered a group of trial participants.”

“Some of them recognized my spiritual constitution and took a keen interest in me, which led them to pursue and attack my sister and me.”

“They had several members who had already crossed into the Tian Gang realm, and one of them had even reached the fourth level.”

“My sister and I were no match for them… Eventually, we were cornered at a cliff and, without hesitation, we leaped into the abyss…”

“When I came to, dazed and confused, they had me pinned down, cut open my abdomen, and implanted a parasitic insect inside.”

“I saw with my own eyes as they threw my sister’s body into the stream below the cliff, where the fish and beasts swarmed over it…”

By this point, tears were streaming down Qing Shiyu’s face.

“Later, they abandoned me, leaving me to fend for myself, and said… that they would find me and extract the insect when the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest was nearing its end.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

“Who are they?”

“I don’t know.”

Qing Shiyu shook her head and said, “I have no idea where they came from. I never provoked them, yet they…”

Ye Wushuang gently patted Qing Shiyu’s back and said, “This is the world of martial cultivators, Shiyu.”

“In the Qingyun Empire, your father is a prince, and your uncle is the emperor. The Qing Clan is the royal family and the most powerful force in the Qingyun Empire. People don’t dare to provoke you because they fear your uncle and your father.”

“The world of martial cultivators is just that ruthless!”

Qing Shiyu stopped crying, looked down at her own hands, and said, “I know now. I was too naive before.”

“I must avenge my sister, I must.”

Then Qing Shiyu added, “I don’t know where they came from, but I have a guess.”

“Hmm?”

“Among that group, I saw Qin Wenjun, Chu Yaqin, and Xiao Ruonan. Moreover, Qin Wenjun seemed to know one of the men in that group.”

Ye Wushuang nodded.

After a short while, Ye Wushuang took Qing Shiyu to see Li Wenbo.

Upon hearing their story, Li Wenbo slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “It must be the people from the Tianyan Empire!”

“Why are you so certain?”

“Brother Ye, you don’t know,” Li Wenbo hurriedly explained. “The founder of the Tianyan Empire was once a master of insect manipulation. It is said that the princes and princesses of the Tianyan Empire must choose a spiritual insect as their lifebound companion from a young age. The royal family members are all experts in insect manipulation.”

Ye Wushuang immediately said, “Li Wenbo, you must have some connections in the Spirit Sword Mountain. Help me find them.”

“Uh…”

“What? You don’t want to?”

“No, no…” Li Wenbo quickly clarified. “My master is Su Xuanyan, the great mountain master of Spirit Sword Mountain. I’m also a prodigy, so my fellow disciples usually avoid me…”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was taken aback.

Damn it!

These words were exactly the same as what Su Jinyue had said.

Su Jinyue had also mentioned that her grandfather was Su Chenyang. Although her fellow disciples in Spirit Sword Mountain didn’t know who her grandfather was, they knew she had a special background and thus kept their distance from her.

Noticing Ye Wushuang’s strange look, Li Wenbo gave an awkward smile.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go out and search!”

“Although the trial area is vast, there are quite a few people from the Tianyan Empire. We’ll kill one whenever we find one. Eventually, we’ll force those guys to reveal themselves.”

“Deal!”

Soon, Ye Wushuang, Li Wenbo, Qing Shiyu, and Chu Qingcheng set off together.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In a branch of the Youlong Mountains, at the foot of a hill, four or five third-rank low-level spirit beasts, the Four-Eyed Horses, gathered together.

On the other side of the hill, a figure slowly emerged, wielding a sword.

The Four-Eyed Horses, with their cautious eyes, were on guard.

The Four-Eyed Horse is a third-rank low-level spirit beast with four eyes, standing three zhang tall, extremely fast, and capable of releasing an attack that can bewilder the mind. It is roughly at the second or third level of the Tian Gang realm.

The sword-wielding young man walked forward step by step, showing no fear at all.

When he was a hundred meters away from the five Four-Eyed Horses, the young man suddenly burst into action and charged forward.

Soon, the battle ended.

At the foot of the hill, everything was in disarray, and all five Four-Eyed Horses lay dead.

The young man looked at the corpses of the five Four-Eyed Horses on the ground, then at the increase of ten thousand spirit points on his token, and let out a breath.

“In five days, I’ve killed forty or fifty third-rank low-level spirit beasts, and my spirit points have reached 1.9 million!”

The young man was none other than Ye Wushuang.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Ye Wushuang’s face.

There were still more than twenty days left before the end of the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest, and there was a chance for his spirit points to reach three million.

By that time, all seven treasures would be in his possession!

“Old Ye!”

At that moment, a figure arrived from the other side of the hill.

A bald head caught Ye Wushuang’s eye first.

Li Wenbo arrived, shouting, “I’ve found the traces of a group of martial cultivators from the Tianyan Empire. Hurry up!”
