Qin Wushuang was astonished. Indeed, many of the major sects within the Forbidden Spiritual Zones did not get along with each other. Being one of the six major Daoist Sects of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, this Emei Daoist Sect had unleashed such vicious actions.
However, Qin Wushuang did not find it strange. The martial arts world has always valued the the weak being prey to the strong. Perhaps the Emei Daoist Sect’s actions could not count as honorable, but it was still difficult for people to hold it against them.
Now, Qin Wushuang had verified the identity of that woman dressed in palace clothing and indeed she had come from the Emei Daoist Sect. This deepened his uneasy feelings towards the Emei Daoist Sect.
Since Qin Wushuang had accidentally understood the conspiracy within it, he was not in a rush to expose it. While these people were searching for some treasure like a moth flying into a fire, they would be digging their own graves. Although Qin Wushuang was warmhearted, he would not fight for these greedy people.
With rapt attention, he held his breath and observed every moment of these two ladies.
Clearly, that girl dressed in purple feared Senior Can. Upon seeing the displeasure from her face, she did not continue to speak. On the other hand, Little Can was thinking of something thoughtfully. Suddenly, she regained her attention and said, “No more nonsense, go in quickly. It’s almost time.”
The girl in purple gave a sound of approval and they followed one another towards the deeper part of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley at a rapid speed.
The motion of these two were graceful and light. They also walked desolate trails to go unnoticed. If Qin Wushuang had not just happened to be there, he was not worried of being discovered.
Although Qin Wushuang was being vigilant by this Emei Daoist Sect, he did not shrink back. He would not feel at ease if he did not see Tian Mingshan and his people killed.
He moved towards the deep valley quietly. Along the way, martial artists from all directions overflowed the valley. It seemed that information had spread like wildfire within the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.
Inside a gigantic and deep valley, there appeared a gigantic abyss. The abyss had continued and extended towards the hinterland of a great mountain.
Clearly, a giant mountain cave appeared inside of it.
At this moment, many martial artists had gathered at the entrance of this mountain cave.
Even Xin Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Emperor, was among them. Qin Wushuang shook his head secretly. He didn’t expect that the son of the Heavenly Emperor would believe this rumor.
At the mountain cave entrance, there were at least two hundred martial artists. They had gathered in groups of three or five. The majority of them were freelance martial artists and a portion of them were disciples from sects around other places.
Qin Wushuang was not a disciple of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, so he did not recognize too many people. Under such circumstances, he did not wish to look into it.
Tian Mingshan and his two people stood on the south side of the mountain entrance. The three of them stood like the three legs of a tripod. The four men in black had formed a fan like formation encircling there three targets.
Tian Mingshan and his people were forced to enter the mountain cave for the route outside was blocked by those four men in black.
Tian Mingshan glared at the men in black viciously and asked with bitter resentment, “You four, I am afraid you have mistaken us for the wrong people, right?”
Tian Mingshan had a pair of keen eyes for he already saw Xin Wuji and Yan Qiansui. He intended to call for help. However, upon seeing the indifferent expression from Xin Wuji and his people as if they had never intended to get involved with their dispute, he knew that they were unwilling to recognize them. Despite feeling furious, he did not dare to call out to them.
The only woman among the four men asked, “Recognized the wrong people? If you are not people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, then yes, we have mistaken you.”
Tian Mingshan was stunned. It seems the other party has come prepared.
The woman whispered to the tall man in black next to her and murderous intentions shot from the man in black as he nodded.
“Do not push too far! Do you truly think we are scared of you?” Tian Mingshan asked with an enraged tone.
The woman giggled. “Not scared of us, then why are you running away? Too bad, could it be that no one else is left from the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect? They could only send you, little fish. Is Luo Tongtian dead?”
“You… You know of my Head Dao Warrior?” Tian Mingshan was stunned.
“Know him? What is he? Does he deserve me knowing him?” The tone of the woman was filled with teasing and mocking intentions.
Tian Mingshan said with an ashen face, “Just what do you want exactly? Tell me!”
The young man with the tall figure shouted coldly, “It’s simple, I want you dead! We want everyone from the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect dead!”
“You… You are a disciple of the Qin Clan?” Tian Mingshan suddenly cried out.
“Disciple of the Qin Clan?” The young man with a tall figure roared in laughter. “I am a disciple of the Qin Clan? Do you think the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect only has the Qin Clan as their sworn enemy?”
“Oh my, my good brother, stop talking nonsense with them! Let’s move!” The woman stomped her feet and waved her jaded like arm. Instantly, a dazzling precious sword appeared. With a brush, she waved to form a long rainbow and smashed at him horizontally.
Tian Mingshan immediately straightened up from the ground to evade this rainbow-like attack.
“Ha ha, you have some skill.” The woman gave a pampered comment and threw the precious sword from his hand. She opened her hands widely and made a few hand gestures. Instantly, the precious sword formed into a dozen colorful clones that emitted dazzling lights.
The girl shouted, “Go!”
The dozen illusive clones had fantasized tens and thousands of lights like drops of rain. They shot towards Tian Mingshan and the two Shakyamuni.
Tian Mingshan called out, “Go in the cave!”
As soon he called these words, the four men in black and even the other martial artists had berated, “You must not go!”
The martial artists had stopped in place and no one rushed to enter the mountain cave. All of them had restrained one another and no one had gained the upper hand.
Whoever entered the mountain cave first would offend the crowd. For a time, bellows and cries emerged from all directions.
At this time, the man in black with the tall figure unfolded his body like a giant dragon. He opened his arms wide and already, he opened up a bow and arrow from his hand.
At such a close distance, he had finished opening the bow and putting up the arrows in one breath.
When Qin Wushuang saw this bow, his heart was moved. This bow appeared to be so familiar! Qin Wushuang thought quickly and instantly his consciousness stopped at the giant canyon inside the Heavenly Lake Empire. The scene of his first meeting with Senior Brother Shang Ye had immediately emerged in his mind.
This bow was indeed the Piercing Cloud Bow used by Senior Brother Shang Ye.
Qin Wushuang wondered if this could be him. As he looked at this tall and straight body, the proud and aloof expression in his eyes and the imposing manner of opening the bow, it all matched Senior Brother Shang Ye’s mannerism.
Only at that time, Senior Brother Shane Ye was only a martial artist at the Initial Stage of the Spiritual Martial Force. Now, the person opening this bow had clearly possessed the strength of the Perfect Void Martial Stage.
How many years since they last saw each other? Could the strength of Senior Brother Shang Ye have moved at such a rapid speed?
His thoughts moved as fast as lightning.
Martial artists from all directions transformed their weapons in their hands into meteoric lights that shot towards the cave. Clearly, they wanted to stop Tian Mingshan from entering the cave.
The tall martial artist gave a loud roar and shot the Piercing Cloud Bow!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Still three arrows shot from him in succession.
These three arrows had carried rainbow-like power, as if they were three monsters trying to burst from a cage. They carried an air stream and formed three miserable fierce lights to launch at him baring fangs and brandish claws!
They had congealed into the shape of a dragon!
Even for Xin Wuji who was watching the battle on the side, his expression also changed slightly when he saw this shooting skill. Almost at the same time, Xin Wuji suddenly moved as his entire body transformed into a ball of light and merged into the air. In between the flash of this light, Xin Wuji had caught up and dropped before these three arrows.
He swept with his sleeves and pushed forth a burst of gas like an air barrier.
Boom!
As the streams of air collided with each other, the imposing manner of these three arrows dwindled as they hit the air wall. With the lights fading gradually, these three arrows no longer had any power to fly as they dropped down to the ground softly.
When Xin Wuji displayed this move, he had intimidated the entire scene.
A fierce look shot from the eyes of the tall man in black. He glared at Xin Wuji and yelled, “Who are you? Are you going to step out forcefully?”
When Qin Wushuang heard this voice, the more he was sure that he was truly Senior Brother Shang Ye! Overjoyed at the unexpected good news, Qin Wushuang didn’t expect that he would be reunited with Senior Brother Shang Ye here!
What made Qin Wushuang even more surprised was that clearly Senior Brother Shang Ye had encountered some fortuitous opportunities as he was showing a clear upgrade of his strength and would not lose to Qin Wushuang.
Only, the skills of Xin Wuji appeared to be even more tyrannical. Indeed, he enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for being at the peak of the Common Mysterious stage!
Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to make a move. As soon as this Xin Wuji stepped out, clearly he planned to protect Tian Mingshan and his two people. If he were to appear now, it would be useless. He would rather observe from the dark and wait for a better opportunity.
He would not have the slightest chance to win against Xin Wuji openly, who was at the peak of the Common Mysterious stage and invincible to all those beneath the Supreme Dao. Unless, he could summon the last sealed spiritual beasts…
Apparently, Xin Wuji intended to intimidate Shang Ye further as he kept initiating powerful aura throughout his entire body to diffuse it towards Shang Ye in a rolling sequence.
The girl behind Shang Ye scuttled forward and grabbed his arm. With a sudden pull, she pulled him to take a dozen steps back. Next, she swung with her jade-like to reveal a strange circular shield to block the two of them.
“Who are you?” The girl glared at Xin Wuji with a vigilant expression.
Xin Wuji said coldly, “Who are you? Why are you covering your face?”
“Who cares who I am? Let me tell you, don’t think you can meddle in other people’s business just because you are powerful. You cannot protect people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect!” Clearly this girl was not a good person.
Xin Wuji said leisurely, “Oh? You do have a bold tone. May I ask you girl, are you one from the totem clan?”
“It’s not your business!”
Xin Wuji’s expression went cold. “If you are truly one of the totem clan, then I would not care about this matter. If not, then please stop. These three are martial artists of the Xuan Yuan Mound and are ruled by my Heavenly Emperor Gate. How can I allow you to be such a savage when you are trying to kill people before me?”
Shang Ye raised his brow. “You are Xin Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain?”
Xin Wuji did not bat an eyelid. “Yes.”
Shang Ye said lightly, “Son of the Heavenly Emperor, what are you doing here instead of going to the Karakorum Immortal Clan? Could it be you are also greedy about this legendary Supreme Dao treasure?”
Xin Wuji had answered back sarcastically, “You seem to have stepped out of line, have you not?”
“You have not? This is a personal grudge between us and the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, you seem to have stepped in too much?” Shang Ye’s tone was also filled with annoyance.
Tian Mingshan and his party had become stiff next to the cave entrance. Incapable of moving forward or retreat, they felt slightly reassured when they saw Xin Wuji step out.
At this moment, the martial artists on the exterior side cried out, “If you want to solve your personal grudges, you can solve them outside in a more expansive area.”
“Yes, don’t block the entrance, are you planning to loot a burning house?”
“Yes, I think they are putting on a show to be quick-footed and climb up first!”
