Not only Zong Xingyu himself, the others who had heard what he said were terrified.
They were unprecedentedly shocked and frightened.
“Guys, you are all important figures in your sects. You surely understand why I said. To become such a huge organization, even if they have that amount of people, it still takes at least five hundred years. Think about the patience and the ambition they have… It is horrible…”
Zong Xingyu took a cold breath and continued, “Guys, such a huge organization has been hiding around us for… at least five hundred years… However, we, who claim to be the best in Qing-Yun Realm and know everything in the realm, haven’t noticed their existence in all those years… If we are to be wiped out by them, we have nobody to blame but ourselves!”
He smiled bitterly and looked at the others with sparkling eyes. “Now, is this a joke? Or are we truly rotten so deeply? Have we all become muddleheaded?”
The others all looked embarrassed on the face. Nobody could argue against what Zong Xingyue just said.
What he said was true. Such a huge organization had been hiding among them for such a long time. Even though they claimed to be the most powerful sects in the world that had most resources in the realm, they noticed nothing!
“This is the most important and terrifying problem that we need to solve!”
Zong Xingyu bitterly smiled and said, “Heaven’s Terrace has become… a hell full of blood in the world. I guess there will be no fruits coming down from the sky… That means there will be no more Divine Yin Yang Fruits!
“Whoever got the fruits is mostly lying among these corpses…” He sighed and continued, “The fruits must be inside one of the equipment the secret organization took away…
“In another word, guys, we are in big trouble!”
What he said about the fruits was the biggest bomb that exploded in people’s hearts!
Everybody was shocked!
If that terrible organization got dozens of Divine Yin Yang Fruits, what would happen? They all had the answer.
The oppressive organization was about to become more powerful than before. It was going to be invincible in the realm. It was going to rule the realm!
“It seems we have to gather up together this time. This is the only possible way to solve this problem. Guys, if you don’t want to be broken down one after another, and became dust in the river of history, we have to work together.” Zong Xingyu decisively said, with his glaring eyes, “West Hall is not far from this place. Prime masters… what do you say that we go to my place and have some tea?”
“Absolutely! We would love to hear more of your enlightening idea!”
“I have heard that West Hall has the most beautiful view in the realm. This is a good chance to pay a visit.”
Everybody agreed with Zong Xingyu’s suggestion. Nobody declined his invitation.
After all, they all understood that Zong Xingyue was telling the truth. The secret organization with the Divine Yin Yang Fruits was a crisis they had to face together.
If they couldn’t come up with a practical cooperation plan soon, they might not be able to save the future when it was late!
If they couldn’t honestly work with each other to fight against the crisis, everybody in the Qing-Yun Realm would become that secret organization’s slave!
The organization might rule the realm one day!
It was necessary to stay together and discuss the horrible situation!
No matter what conflicts they had between each other, they had to put them down for now.
After a while, under Zong Xingyu’s invitation, these people all left the mountain.
Everybody was frowning.
A storm was going hit the martial world.
Even the three factions had to put aside the plan to fight against the people who were coming for Xiao Monarch. They had to focus on the crisis of the entire realm first.
It was literally the most severe problem for all of them!
Nobody could ignore it!
Since leaving Heaven’s Terrace, Ye Xiao had been trying to let the hawk come down to take the two of them away. He wanted to stay as far away as possible.
However, he felt something disturbing his heart for no reason.
That feeling didn’t go away when he walked away from Heaven’s Terrace. Instead, it was getting stronger. He felt more and more disturbed in the heart!
He knew it was not his illusion. He was weak at the moment; In fact, even when in his prime days, he was weaker than just the best cultivator, but his instinct, his spiritual mind was the best in the world!
[Who is it?]
Ye Xiao kept asking the question. He hadn’t seen any traces so he couldn’t be sure who was following them. However, he had a name in his head already.
Maybe the man he had in mind at the moment was the only person who had the capability of following them like this.
Maybe the man was the only person who could give him such an unbearable suppression on his nerves!
Wu Fa!
[Is it you? The best cultivator in Qing-Yun Realm!]
Ye Xiao had evidently heard of the man, but he never had the chance to meet him! He always scrupled about meeting the world’s most potent cultivator. He couldn’t ignore Wu Fa’s fame. There must be a reason he could be the world’s best!
When Ye Xiao was in level nine of Dao Origin Stage, he knew it was impossible to defeat Wu Fa. However, he believed he was in the same league as Wu Fa, which meant he could still fight against Wu Fa!
As he knew more about cultivation, he knew more about the power of an individual. He who was ignorant feared nothing, yet who was well informed were in awe. Let alone Mo Tianji the Wizard and Ji Mo the wicked guy, the two ultimate supreme cultivators, let alone Meng Huaiqing, Master Bai, Wan and Xiu, the superior cultivators in Human Realm Upon Heavens, he was currently far weaker than himself in the previous life!
When Xuan Bing played Han Bingxue around all the way to Ye Clan like an adult fooling a kid, it proved a lot!
Han Bingxue was also a cultivator on the top of level nine of Dao Origin Stage. However, he could do nothing to resist Xuan Bing’s attack. He was a bit weaker than Xiao Monarch indeed, but only a tiny bit. Ye Xiao knew that if he had to fight against Xuan Bing when he was still Xiao Monarch, he wouldn’t do any better than Han Bingxue. If he risked his life to fight her, he would die! That was the disparity!
Now he might have to fight Wu Fa, who was known to be even stronger than Xuan Bing. How could he not be scared?
He was almost certain who was following them, yet he didn’t feel relieved, but only felt stressed. He had just gotten away from the surrounding of the superior cultivators in Heaven’s Terrace, but fallen into another dangerous situation immediately!
Whoever was following them didn’t do anything yet. Ye Xiao had no idea where the man was hiding.
However, Ye Xiao clearly knew that he was around!
An enemy in the dark was the most terrifying because he was waiting for the best timing to attack. As long as Ye Xiao showed a flaw and gave the man a chance, the man would make a thundering attack right away.
That attack was unstoppable. Even when he was Xiao Monarch, he might not be able to resist that attack. Even though he had Han Bingxue with him, they still couldn’t handle that attack together.
Ye Xiao knew that he would become invincible if he ate the fruits. However, he couldn’t, because during the seconds he was going to swallow the fruits, whoever was following them could kill him a thousand times!
If he died alone, he might be willing to take the chance, but Han Bingxue was here too. If the fight were started, Han Bingxue would definitely get involved.
He had to stay calm and stopped being terrified. Negative emotions only made him weaker. That wouldn’t help. He had to think of a way to handle the dangerous situation. He couldn’t solve the problem with a fight, then he could only use his intelligence…
After all, he was now much more scheming than his previous life!
He was moving fast ahead in silence. Han Bingxue was moving on his side quietly too.
Ye Xiao was good at moving skills, but he was after all only in a low level of Dao Origin Stage. Even though he was doing his best, he couldn’t stay further from Han Bingxue a bit. After all, Han Bingxue was also good at moving skills. He was the Unique of the World after all!
“Brother Han, the fruits…” Ye Xiao seemed to remember something, so he paused and then continued in a low voice, “Can they really make a man invincible?”
He sounded quiet, calmly and peacefully. He was just like a young man who had just stepped on the soil of the martial world, full of curiosity about the fruits in the myth.
In another word, he was acting just like an ignorant fool who hadn’t experienced a lot in the world!
Han Bingxue nearly lost his breaths. If he was not truly good at moving skills, he might have fallen down and cracked his head on the floor.
When he looked back, he found Ye Xiao’s face full of curiosity. However, the eyes were different. Ye Xiao was giving a hint to Han Bingxue through the eye contact to give a warning.
In Qing-Yun Realm, the person who knew Ye Xiao the best was not the Fierce Blade Li Wuliang, or the Vast Sky Jun Yinglian, but was the Unique of the World, the Frost Sword Han Bingxue!
He didn’t know what was exactly going on, but he understood something must be wrong. He smiled in a low voice and answered, “You are indeed a rookie in the martial world. What an ignorant kid… If the fruits are not that good, the superior cultivators who died in that place during the latest ten thousand years must be some dumb fools. What do you think? Where did Zong Yuankai, the first Prime Master of West Hall get his invincibility if the fruits were not that powerful? Why do you think Wu Fa could become the best cultivator in the realm? Come on. It’s the Divine Yin Yang Fruits!”
Ye Xiao was still fleeting ahead. He stayed silent for a while as if he was trying to understand what Han Bingxue wanted to teach him. After a while, he sighed and said, “Forty-two pairs of the fruits were taken… within only a few days… Well, I won’t ask for more, just one pair…”
“Yes, you wish…” Han Bingxue disdainfully said, “How do you deserve such marvelous treasure… Kid, the only thing that would happen if you go grab the fruits is to become a black ball…”
He sighed and continued, “It has been truly too weird these few days… That white shadow kept taking the fruits off the hooks. I was careless in the beginning. I admit that I didn’t really pay attention to the fruits. However, I have never been more concentrated than that in the end. I was literally running all the energy in me. My spiritual mind was covering every inch of that place. Yet I still didn’t see anything. I knew that the white shadow was much faster than I did, but I thought I could at least see him do it. If I could see how he did it, maybe I could get the fruits too. However, that white shadow was too fast. It was much faster than lights.
“I wonder how he took the fruits… That was some stunning speed. I have never thought that a living being could be fast like that! How horrible!
“I even suspect that Wu Fa couldn’t be as fast as that white shadow!”
Han Bingxue kept shaking his head, speaking in a low voice. He was flying as he was talking. It was nearly impossible to hear his words clearly.
Somewhere in the dark, the man who had been following Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue frowned. What Han Bingxue was exactly what he was thinking.
He had been focused on that white shadow too, and he also couldn’t see anything.
He was confused all of a sudden, [Does it mean… that it was not them?]
Ye Xiao said, “That white shadow must be a secret ultimate supreme cultivator. Wu Fa couldn’t do it indeed, but it doesn’t mean nobody else can. There is always a stronger one. This is the rule of nature…”
“Humph! What do you know about it? What you said only applies to an ordinary situation. I am not underestimating the heroes in the world, but to be honest, nobody could be as fast as that white shadow in Qing-Yun Realm. Wu Fa couldn’t surpass it, let alone others.” Han Bingxue humphed.
“Do you mean nobody could be that fast? Then who is that white shadow? Should it be somebody in Qing-Yun Realm?” Ye Xiao looked confused.
“Hmm…” Han Bingxue thought for a while and said, “I give my opinion due to my own recognition. To be honest, I am on the top of level nine of Dao Origin Stage too, but I am way much weaker than Wu Fa and Xuan Bing. However, I am pretty sure that I am just a bit slower than them in moving skills. But I couldn’t even see a clear route of that white shadow. That means it truly is way faster than the best cultivators in the world… If there are people who can be that fast, nobody except two people were possible to do so…”
“Two? Who?” Ye Xiao asked.
“One is naturally the world’s most powerful cultivator, Wu Fa…” Han Bingxue nodded and then shook his head, “However, I don’t think he can be as fast as that…”
The man hiding in the dark was listening to every word of Han Bingxue.
“Two people. One is Wu Fa, then who is the other? Is it the great elder of Misty Cloud Palace, Xuan Bing?” Ye Xiao asked.
“No way. Xuan Bing is lower than Wu Fa in the ranking. If Wu Fa couldn’t, nor could Xuan Bing… The other one… he might be the only person who could move as fast as that white shadow…” Han Bingxue sighed and said, “He is the first person who ate the fruits in the history, Zong Yuankai. If the old Prime Master Zong were alive, with his knowledge about the Divine Yin Yang Fruits, he might be able to take the fruits in such an unforeseen and undetected way.”
