“Getting spied on by an unknown spiritual beast?” When Qin Wushuang acquired this news, he was slightly surprised; however, he was rather calm as he said to Burning Sky Explosive Tiger that was at the peak of the Ravine Mysterious Stage, “Burning Sky, go take a look. Even if you cannot sense it, immediately report to me!”
Although Sky Pilfered Mole and Moon Palace Jade Hare were sharp, they were only at the Transformation Void Martial Stage. With their current stage, their strength would be somewhat inadequate for this task.
The Burning Sky Explosive Tiger was different. Being a spiritual beast of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary, he was extremely powerful with his skills that shatter the void. With a flash, he disappeared into the sky.
Although Burning Sky Explosive Tiger was a reckless spiritual beast, it did not mean he did not possess meticulous qualities. For this investigation, he knew that he must not expose himself. Therefore, he arrived carefully to the exterior defense line.
When Sky Pilfered Mole and Moon Palace Jade Hare saw Burning Sky Explosive Tiger, they all felt reassured.
“Do you still have the sense that you’re being spied on?” Burning Sky Explosive Tiger asked.
“Yes, sometimes, it’s ongoing,” Sky Pilfered Mole replied.
Burning Sky Explosive Tiger nodded. “This way, you are being watched.” After he had finished speaking, he fell into silence and closed his eyes.
All of a sudden, Burning Sky Explosive Tiger’s body transformed into a bursting air wave as a bursting red light dashed to the sky. Like a blazing cloud dropping from the sky, he plunged towards the lush forest on the west side.
One could only hear a bursting collision until Burning Sky Explosive Tiger brought out the person he had made the attack on. This person was a girl!
Burning Sky Explosive Tiger dispersed his spiritual perception completely and patrolled around. Upon having not discovered any other abnormal movements, he said to Sky Pilfered Mole and Moon Palace Jade Hare, “Continue to stay here and monitor the area, I will take this girl to master!”
Naturally, this female martial artist was from the Emei Daoist Sect and also possessed the strength of the Profound Void Martial Stage. When she was thrown before Qin Wushuang, she looked at him with a fierce expression. She said, while gaining the upper hand by a show of strength, “Who are you to have dared to capture me? Are you not afraid of the Emei Daoist Sect?”
“Emei Daoist Sect?” Qin Wushuang revealed a leisurely smile. “There is no rush to state your name. What about the Emei Daoist Sect? Who doesn’t know that you are the female disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect? You people from the Emei Daoist Sect have hearts as malicious as snakes and scorpions. You have deliberately set up this trap to lure all strong martial artists from the world to their own graves. For such a malicious strategy, I plan to announce it to the world!”
“You…” A ruthless stare shot out from the female martial artist. She glared at Qin Wushuang as if to penetrate him with her eyes.
Qin Wushuang said with ease, “You can look at me all you like, although I don’t like to beat a woman, my subordinates are ok with this. If they make a move against you, I will not stop them.”
As the female martial artist looked at the fiend, Burning Sky Explosive Tiger and Purple Pupil Golden Ox, she could not but help to tremble. Since she knew that she had met a swift and fierce person, she had rather not dare to talk tough.
She only whispered, “Just who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Speak, when have you discovered us? Before you answer the question, let me give you a friendly reminder. If I realize that you speak a word of a lie, you know the consequences. By that time, don’t blame my subordinates for not showing tender feelings for the fairer sex,” Qin Wushuang said with a gloomy and cold tone.
When the female martial artist saw Qin Wushuang maintain a calm and collected expression as if he was just talking about day to day life, she knew this person would not be easy to deal with. Despite revealing bitter resentment through her eyes, she did not dare to talk back.
“I had just discovered you guys!”
“Just? By whose order? Among the Emei Daoist Sect, inside the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, who is the leader?”
“It’s Senior Sister! Mister, although you are strong, certainly you cannot beat my Senior Sister. If you know the situation, let me go. Or else, Senior Sister will come here to kill you with Tiger Saint!”
“Have you already reported the situation of this place to your Senior Sister?” Qin Wushuang asked with a cold tone.
“What if I have?”
“Then I am sorry, you are on your own!” Qin Wushuang’s expression turned cold.
“You… you would dare to kill me?”
“Kill you? My hands would get dirty if I were to kill you,” Qin Wushuang said with a disdainful tone. “Since you love to notify people, then please come with me. If I cannot get out of this Ten Thousand Flower Valley, you can get buried with me.”
Sweat began to emerge from the forehead of the female martial artist as she swore, “You… You are so shameless!”
“Shameless? It seems the Emei Daoist Sect are the ones with shame, right?” Qin Wushuang said coldly, “Let me ask you again, what is the name of your Senior Sister? Do some call her, Little Can?”
“Little Can? You mean Senior Sister Ruocan? She is not the Senior Sister, she is the third. The Senior Sister is Ruo Ping Fairy!” Clearly the tone of this female martial artist had softened a lot.
“Ruo Ping Fairy, ha ha. Even though the Emei Daoist Sect is acting so despicable, you dare to claim to be a Fairy. You have truly disgraced the word, Fairy. Alright, now you also know that in order to live, you should consider how to help me get out of this Ten Thousand Flower Valley. Or else, if I cannot get out, your freedom is a thing of the past.”
The female martial artist said urgently, “To get out of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, you must open the defenses of the valley. Only the Senior Sister and Junior Sister are authorized to do this. The remaining people are not qualified to activate it!”
“Then please, go through the trouble and lure your Senior Sister here. If your Senior Sister falls to my hands, of course I will have a way to make her activate the mechanism.”
“Impossible!” Fear overflowed from the eyes of the female martial artist as she kept shaking her head. “Selling out my disciples, even if I stayed alive, the higher-ups of the sect will not let me go. And it will also drag my family from the secular world into it! Even if you are to kill me, I will not do it!”
This Emei Daoist Sect would involve others if necessary. Although this method was malicious, it did pose great intimidation to the fellow disciples.
Qin Wushuang said lightly, “Then tell me, where is your Senior Sister. It’s the same thing for me to look for her.”
“That will also not work, I already made contact with her. If you go look for her, certainly she will know that I am the one that revealed the secret. This is the same as selling disciples!”
Qin Wushuang said coldly, “This and that will not work. This way, you would rather die than submit?”
The female martial artist said with an ashen face, “Kill me!”
Although Qin Wushuang hated people of the Emei Daoist Sect, he would not kill indiscriminately. Although this female martial artist was repulsive, it would be useless to kill her now.
If he were to use brutal methods to interrogate her, it wouldn’t be very candid and straightforward.
Then only one method remained, the divine venomous puppet technique!
To Qin Wushuang, this method would always work to the best degree. Regardless how strong or weak they were, once they were manipulated by the divine venomous insect, it would allow them to submit cheerfully and follow unswervingly to Qin Wushuang, the person that planted it in them.
Previously, Qin Wushuang had controlled Black Panther, Ying Long, and later used it to deal with the people from the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. He had repeatedly tested this method and it always proved successful.
Later on, under the Black Dead Sea of the Floating Snow House, he had also used this method to control Wu Dingyuan from the Hundreds Sword Sect. He had used the same method when he controlled Luo Zhong of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect after he had entered the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.
Currently, although this female martial artist possessed great strength, she still appeared powerless against the divine venomous technique. She only felt a burst of haziness covering his consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again and regained consciousness, she had completely fallen as Qin Wushuang’s divine venomous puppet. She walked before Qin Wushuang chanting, “Master!”
“Tell me, what is your name, where is Ruo Ping Fairy?”
“My name is Ruo Tong, most likely Senior Sister is already on her way here. Senior Sister had recently spread the news and told all disciples of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley to pay attention to and track a person named Qin Wushuang. She said this Qin Wushuang has stolen the Supreme Dao Fruit.”
Qin Wushuang’s heart trembled. Then, he revealed an indifferent smile, “Then do you know who I am?”
“Master, I have yet to learn of your respectful name.”
“I am Qin Wushuang!”
“Ah?” Ruo Tong was incredibly surprised, then turned to be somewhat terrified. “Master, everything was instructed by Senior Sister. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Yes, that Ruo Ping Fairy, how did she know I was the one that took the Supreme Dao Fruit?” Qin Wushuang was more curious about this question.
In his point of view, Xin Wuji was the only one that knew that he had stolen the Supreme Dao Fruit. Reasonably speaking, since Xin Wuji intended to seize the fruit for himself, he would not have went around to publicize it.
However, if Xin Wuji had not proclaimed this, how did people from the Emei Daoist Sect know he had acquired the Supreme Dao Fruit? Questions filled Qin Wushuang’s head.
Ruo Tong immediately said, “In the beginning, Senior Sister was suspicious that Xin Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, had stolen the Supreme Dao Fruit. Yet in recent days, she has asked everyone to track Master through their spiritual perception. As for how knows, Senior Sister did not state the reason. However, since Senior Sister is the one with the highest authority in the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, we would not dare to ask.”
Qin Wushuang fell into silence for a moment and knew that this Ruo Tong would not lie to him, for she was controlled by the divine venomous insect. This way, Ruo Ping Fairy must have learned everything through some secret method.
“This gives me a headache. If the Emei Daoist Sect locks onto me primarily, the threat from the divine beast would be severe. On the contrary, the threat coming from Xin Wuji had appeared even more insignificant. No, I must find a way out of the valley before the Emei Daoist Sect finds me!”
Qin Wushuang knew that he could not sit and wait for death. Now, the Emei Daoist Sect has locked onto him, the pressure put on him was increased abruptly.
“The Supreme Dao defenses of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, just where are they activated?”
Ruo Tong shook her head and revealed puzzled eyes. “For this, only Senior and Junior Sister knows, we do not hold high ranking.”
“Junior Sister? How come there is still a Junior Sister?” Qin Wushuang frowned. “What is it with this Junior Sister?”
Ruo Tong said, “Junior Sister has only been a part of the sect for a few years now and has been training next to Tiger Saint. Subjecting her to the presence of the Supreme Dao beast, she has improved at a rapid speed!”
“What’s her name?” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang’s heart trembled with coldness as if he had guessed something.
“Junior Sister is called Ruo Lan.”
As soon as she spoke these words, it seemed as if Qin Wushuang’s heart had been struck by lightning. He opened his mouth widely and did not know what to say for the moment. Inwardly, he only felt endless disappointment.
Shui Ruolan, that young girl as pure as the water and as beautiful and secluded as an orchid had in the end, fallen to the tiger mouth of the Emei Daoist Sect. Although Qin Wushuang had expected this matter early on, he was unwilling to accept it. Now that he had verified his suspicion, he still felt incredibly painful.
Thinking of how Shui Ruolan, a naive girl who stood aloof from worldly affairs, was influenced by the scorpion-like Emei Daoist Sect, he wondered how she would turn out in the end.
This would definitely ruin the most beautiful thing in the world. Currently, Qin Wushuang’s resentment towards the Emei Daoist Sect had reached its peak.
