“This is just bizarre, we can’t find anything.”
One person complained, “Li Xiang, do you think this might be the hollow nest of a Tian Gang realm expert, with absolutely nothing inside?”
“You’re asking me, how should I know!”
Another person replied, “Let’s check out this room first.”
As they spoke, the two pushed the door open and entered.
At that very moment, as the door opened, a long sword struck with lightning speed…
With a *whoosh*, the young man in the lead, unprepared, was pierced through the heart, his face filled with terror as he looked at the young man in white before him.
The youth behind him froze for a moment, his face turning pale instantly, and let out a scream.
“Ah…”
However, before the sound could spread, Qing Shiyu, holding a sword, swiftly slashed across his throat.
Two bodies thudded to the ground.
Qing Shiyu quickly closed the door and panted heavily.
“Did anyone hear that? I hope no one heard that?”
She hadn’t expected that they would be so unlucky, encountering disciples from Qingyun Academy as soon as she and Ye Wushuang entered the room.
Looking at the two bodies on the ground, Qing Shiyu said, “These are Li Xiang and Li Ken.”
“Fortunately, these two were only at the eighth level of the Body Refining stage. If it had been Tan Yuner or Li Xiangwen, we wouldn’t have been so lucky to ambush and kill them.”
At the Condensation Vessel stage, one’s sensitivity is much higher.
Ye Wushuang didn’t say anything, instead, he went to the side of the fighting stage and continued to inspect it.
Qing Shiyu then said, “Ye Wushuang, let’s leave.”
“If we’re discovered by Chu Yunsheng, we’ll be in terrible trouble, and those three from the Wen family at the Condensation Vessel stage are all at the third and fourth levels. We’re no match for them…”
Ye Wushuang, however, said, “We’ve come this far, are you willing to leave without killing them?”
“Think about the deaths of your close friends, aren’t you furious?”
“I am furious, but with just the two of us, we can’t get our revenge!”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
Ye Wushuang then stepped onto the fighting stage, sword in hand, and sliced open the stage.
Qing Shiyu didn’t know where Ye Wushuang’s confidence came from, but she didn’t dare to leave on her own. If she encountered Chu Yunsheng and the Wen family on the way, she would be doomed.
At this moment, as the fighting stage was split open by Ye Wushuang’s long sword, they saw a row of heads revealed beneath.
Qing Shiyu felt a chill when she looked at them.
But upon closer inspection, her expression changed.
“Huh? Puppets?”
Ye Wushuang had split the fighting stage open, revealing puppets beneath it, eighteen in total, standing in two neat rows.
Though they were lifeless, they exuded a formidable presence.
After examining them for a while, Qing Shiyu suddenly said, “These… these… are the puppet bodies of the Eighteen Wen Tian Guards?”
Ye Wushuang didn’t say anything, he just walked up and gently touched the puppets.
In the past, one of the Eighteen Wen Tian Guards, Li Yunmo, was a puppeteer he had taught, and his puppetry skills were extremely powerful.
These eighteen puppets were built by Ye Wentian on a whim when he saw the Eighteen Guards together, and while not very powerful, each possessed the strength of the Condensation Vessel stage.
At that time, he made these puppets more as a record of what the eighteen looked like when they were together.
But now, they could be put to good use!
In the past, you eighteen followed me to establish the Ye clan.
Today, you eighteen, in this form, continue to accompany me on this path!
Qing Shiyu looked at the puppets and marveled, “These puppets don’t seem to be made of very good materials, but they are crafted with great detail. It’s a pity that without their puppet master, these puppets can’t be used.”
“Who says they can’t be used?”
Ye Wushuang’s words fell, and he began to collect the puppets.
Qing Shiyu looked curious and asked, “Do you know puppetry?”
“I know a bit.”
With that, Ye Wushuang pushed the door open and left.
“Where do we go next?” Qing Shiyu asked, genuinely worried about running into Chu Yunsheng’s people again.
“To the main hall!” Ye Wushuang said directly.
“Ah?” Qing Shiyu’s face changed instantly, and she hurriedly said, “Ye Wushuang, let’s not go, let’s not. Chu Yunsheng must have had his people thoroughly check the main hall. If we go there now, it’s like walking into a death trap.”
