As that voice rang out, Ye Wushuang turned around and saw a woman who appeared to be in her early thirties. She had an ordinary appearance, yet her eyes were wide with astonishment as she gazed at him.
“Do I… know you?” Ye Wushuang’s expression was peculiar. No one among the crowd had recognized him just now. His fame in the land of Qingzhou was confined mostly within the seven great clans. The people who paid the most attention to him were those from the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect. Others didn’t really care about him that much.
The woman before him was Li Jing, who had just parted ways with Li Yuan and was on her way to find her fellow clansmen from the Li clan. Li Jing knew that Ye Wushuang didn’t recognize her and smiled, saying, “You don’t know me, but I know you. My name is Qu Jing, and I come from the Yundri Sect in Qingzhou. Our sect is not as powerful as the seven dominant clans.”
Ye Wushuang’s eyes rested on the woman before him, but he remained silent. Li Jing, now curious, asked, “Why are you here? Did you just arrive? You have no idea how…”
In an instant, Ye Wushuang’s figure blurred into a fleeting shadow and vanished. The gentle expression on Li Jing’s face disappeared, and she cursed under her breath, “Damn it!” She crushed a jade talisman in her hand and sent a message through it, “Sister Li Yuan, I’ve found Ye Wushuang. He’s on the mountainside where we were just now!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jing activated her martial technique and immediately set off in pursuit. She had originally planned to send a message to her sister Li Yuan quietly, and the two of them would work together to capture Ye Wushuang. All she needed to do was to stall him for a while. But who would have thought that Ye Wushuang would just run away! This guy’s alertness was incredibly high!
But how did she give herself away? She hadn’t shown any hostility towards Ye Wushuang at all!
On the other side, Ye Wushuang’s figure leaped several times as he headed towards the outskirts of the mountain range. In reality, Ye Wushuang had no idea how this woman, who called herself Qu Jing, knew him or whether she was friendly or hostile. He was simply running. If this woman meant him no harm, at worst she would be confused as to why he was running. But if she had ill intentions… she would definitely chase after him!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of someone leaping through the air came from behind. The woman was in pursuit. Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows furrowed. Was she really after him?
“Ye Wushuang, you can’t escape!” Li Jing shouted from behind, “Hand over the Suanluo Spirit Fruit, and I won’t chase you anymore!”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang sneered, “Sounds good, but just now you were pretending to be curious and trying to get close to me, weren’t you?”
Li Jing immediately snorted, “I am a member of the Li clan. I just recognized you. They didn’t realize you were Ye Wushuang.”
“If you run, I’ll spread the word that you possess seventeen Suanluo Spirit Fruits. Do you think how many people would want to kill you then?”
How despicable!
Ye Wushuang sneered again, “If that’s the case, go ahead and spread it.”
Hearing this, Li Jing became even more furious. This guy was impossible to reason with.
“Do you think you can outrun me?” Li Jing coldly shouted.
Ye Wushuang remained silent, continuing to run forward without stopping. He was at the peak of Tian Gang, and this woman was at least at the fifth level of Wan Fa. Ye Wushuang felt he was quite formidable, but with a gap of more than five levels, he would be in trouble if it came to a real fight!
Moreover, the most important thing was that the woman had been with another woman at the base of the mountain earlier. If they fought and the other woman arrived, two against one, Ye Wushuang had no confidence in winning.
The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, continued on. Soon, Li Jing realized something was off. Ye Wushuang, who hadn’t yet reached Wan Fa, was surprisingly not much slower than her. Every time she tried to close the distance, he managed to pull away again. They maintained a distance of about a hundred zhang, one in front of the other.
Gradually, Li Jing felt even more uneasy. This guy seemed to be… leading her on!
The two of them kept moving forward, passing through a withered grassland, and a forest appeared ahead. Without hesitation, Ye Wushuang plunged into the forest. As soon as he entered, mist rose in the woods. With rapid breathing, Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows furrowed. These mists were obstructing the flow of his spiritual energy. They were toxic!
He continued to leap forward, with Li Jing still in pursuit behind him. Soon, Li Jing also noticed the problem. The mists, once inhaled, gradually slowed down her spiritual energy circulation. But seeing that Ye Wushuang’s speed remained unchanged, Li Jing didn’t stop either and continued to chase after him…
