Within the Heavenly Emperor Gate, Elder Tianhong was in solitary training. Suddenly, he received some information through spiritual perception. It had come from a patrolling guardian leader from the exterior side.

“Elder Tianhong, someone from my division has discovered an unexpected situation. It seems he has seen an Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage spiritual beast wandering around the mountain gate.”

Elder Tianhong’s gaze went stern, spiritual beast at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage?

Instantly, his mind began to buzz with questions. Although the Xuan Yuan Mound was a Forbidden Spiritual Zone, it was not a territory where the beast clan would move actively. The divine beasts could be considered extinct in this area.

Even spiritual beasts at the Perfect Void Martial Stage were rarely seen at the Xuan Yuan Mound, not to mention those at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage.

“Who discovered it?” Elder Tianhong asked.

“It was found by Wuchou.”

Elder Tianhong went into silence for a moment for he knew that this Xin Wuchou was a core disciple at the Xin Clan. He possessed above average talent and indeed, he had been arranged with the patrolling task.

“Bring him into the divine palace.” Elder Tianhong stood up and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes. If he could make the spiritual beast at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage his own, to the Xin Clan it would be an invaluable a.s.set.

It’s because as long as this spiritual beast at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage were to train well, there would be the hope that it could reach the Supreme Dao Stage. The combat power of a Supreme Dao spiritual beast would definitely be more powerful than a human Supreme Dao warrior of the same level!

Therefore, Elder Tianhong could not refrain from emerging some thoughts, “If I can make that spiritual beast a contracted spiritual beast, it’d be the same as having an extra combat friend. In future training, it would definitely be a great help…”

Inside the divine palace, Elder Tianhong and the other four elders at the Ravine Mysterious Stage were among the ranks.

The patrol guardian took Xin Wuchou to arrive before the door of the divine palace.

“Wuchou, is meeting the five Elders,” Xin Wuchou said carefully.

“Wuchou, quickly tell us what you have seen,” Elder Tianhong said lightly.

“Elder Tianhong, this is the situation. At that moment, I was patrolling my designated area. After walking for a while, I arrived next to a pile of crumbled rocks. Suddenly, I shot a glance as a figure quickly scrambled out from the faraway forest. The spiritual beast saw me instantly. Just when I was about to call to my friends, this spiritual beast seemed to be extremely vigilant and scrambled into the forest. Then, I never saw it again.”

“Oh?” Elder Tianhong moved his eyes. “Do you still remember that area?”

“Of course I remember, but clearly the strength of the spiritual beast was much more powerful than me, so I did not dare to approach it.”

Xin Tianhong said with a low voice, “Let’s go take a look.”

He turned to look at the other four Elders. “You four, that place is not too far away from my mountain gate. A spiritual beast at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage is extraordinary. If I can make it my own, to the Xin Clan, it would be a great benefit!”

“Elder Tianhong, you are the leader here, we will listen to you.”

“Ok, let’s go take a look.” Naturally, Xin Tianhong would not be suspicious. Would he even suspect their own disciple to lie on this information?

Now everything was normal at the Heavenly Emperor Gate. With countless patrolling disciples inside and outside, he would not be worried of foreign enemies infiltrating their territory.

“Wuchou, lead the way!” Xin Tianhong said lightly.

Like a whirlwind, the group of people left the divine palace. Under Xin Wuchou’s lead, they walked towards that place mentioned. Elder Tianhong did not intend to make a big fuss. Therefore, besides the five Elders, there was only that patrol guardian, Xin Wuchou.

…

Not long after Elder Tianhong had left, again Xin Wuji went to the divine palace. When he did not see Elder Tianhong and the others, he could not refrain from feeling somewhat strange.

He immediately found Elder Tianhong’s personal disciple, then he learned that he had gone out after questioning him.

Xin Wuji’s complexion went cold and his heart thumped. He felt a strange stirring emotion. Xin Wuji possessed an abnormally strange spiritual perception, plus as the Coagulate Spirit Genuine Soul Book had hammered his primordial spirit, in fact he had a supreme soul that was close to those Supreme Dao elite warriors.

Because the power of this primordial spirit was close to the divine soul, it allowed him to escape for his life ever since the primordial spirit had left his body.

Now, since such movements had occurred to his divine soul, his instincts were kicking in.

“A spiritual beast at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage?” Xin Wuji mumbled. “Before my Heavenly Emperor Gate, when has a spiritual beast at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage ever appeared?”

When he thought of this, he asked with an electric gaze, “Who brought this information?”

“It’s Senior Brother Wuchou.”

“Xin Wuchou?” Xin Wuji mumbled. Although he felt something was wrong inwardly, he could not know what exactly was wrong.

Xin Wuji would never allow himself to ignore any suspicion. With a flash, he floated to the outside area to see the situation. The information of how Xin Wuji had been revived was only known to the core level of the Heavenly Emperor Gate. Xin Wuji was not willing to expose himself as he evaded all the ears and eyes of the Xin Clan.

At this moment, with Elder Tianhong gone, the three elders that were in charge of the mountain defenses were also among them. Therefore, the defenses of the mountain gate were temporarily open.

…

On the other hand, Elder Tianhong and the others had arrived outside the mountain gate. In a moment, they had arrived at that lush forest mentioned by Xin Wuchou.

“Elder Tianhong, this is it. Earlier, the spiritual beast scrambled out and went back into this area, it was very fast,” Xin Wuchou said carefully.

“Alright, you will continue your patrol. Do not tell anyone about this for now. Keep your mouth shut, understand?”

“Yes, I understand,” Xin Wuchou responded respectfully and turned to leave. After he had turned, he revealed a strange smile from the corner of his mouth.

“You four, you will guard the four corners, I will go in to meet that spiritual beast.”

Elder Tianhong also felt incredibly certain about his plan. This forest was surging with an ambiguously wild presence. Although he did not know what spiritual beast it was, it did possess the strength to be at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage.

Just when the four Elders were about to respond, suddenly there came a burst of savage laughter from the lush forest. The laughter pierced through the silent air abruptly.

Instantly, Elder Tianhong and the four Elders at the Ravine Mysterious Stage felt numbness on their scalps.

“Who’s there?” they almost shouted at the same time.

A spurt of golden light shot from the lush forest. It supported a figure like a celestial being descending from the sky. This person had a cold complexion and dispersed a surge of cold murderous intentions through his entire body. His young yet mature face had made one know that he had experienced countless hards.h.i.+ps to gain such a temperament. Elder Tianhong could not help but refrain from feeling a surge of apprehension.

He had slightly decorated his face to some extent. Plus, with the subtle change to his temperament, these five had not recognized him at the moment. In fact, they had not thought towards the direction of the Qin Clan.

“Xin Tianhong, Xin Tianle, Xin Tianyou…” Qin Wushuang counted with great familiarity and shouted the names of the five Elders.

“Who are you?” Xin Tianhong revealed a cold gaze and realized that something was not right. He shot a glance at the four Elders.

“I am here to put you in your graves,” Qin Wushuang said with a cold tone and urged the murderous intentions from his entire body abruptly. Instantly, his torrent das.h.i.+ng aura had caused the sky of all the surrounding area to become dim.

“Humph humph, such a haughty tone!” The group of Elders sneered.

They were not idiots. Of course, they could see that this young man had not entered the Supreme Dao STage. Without the strength of the Supreme Dao Stage, in their eyes, it was a great joke that he dared to speak such bold words.

“Stop with this nonsense, I will give you a chance, come together!” Qin Wushuang swept across the five people with viper-like eyes, a gaze resembling a sharp blade.

Instantly, the five of them felt a thrill, Elder Tianhong shouted, “You think you can use such methods to provoke us?”

They threw each other a glance and the five of them had moved at the same time. They mustered up five rays of light and went to attack Qin Wushuang with full speed.

Qin Wushuang gave a great laugh and suddenly, he flapped the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings. The Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings erupted with the wind and he dashed to the sky abruptly as if someone had pulled a green onion up from the dry land.

He pulled the Graceful Spiritual Bow and shot out the five Shooting Sun Arrows almost at the same time. Like a meteor chasing the moon, the swift yet beautiful curvy line slashed across the vault of the heavens.

“Die!”

“What?”

“It’s Qin Wushuang! Go back quickly!”

With the sound of continuous shouting, initially it was anger, next it was confusion, in the end it had turned into fear. When they realized that the golden light was coming from the arrows, it was already too late.

The golden light rumbled directly before them with a speed that was uncatchable to the naked eye for they had completely ignored the rules of s.p.a.ce and time. Regardless of their body protecting techniques or armor, in this moment, they had all become a puff of smoke!

Followed by five small explosive sounds, the bodies of these elders were shattered into pieces. Not a single trace of them was left.

For those beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, they would not even possess the divine soul. They had also not received that form of treatment received by Xin Wuji who had acquired the contingency divine soul from the Coagulate Spirit Genuine Soul Book.

Therefore, by the time it took these elders to unleash one move, they had lost their lives almost in between their breaths.

Qin Wushuang took back the five Shooting Sun Arrows along the way. He twitched the corner of his mouth lightly and said, “Xin Clan, Heavenly Emperor Gate, I am coming!”

Qin Wushuang said this with a cold and eerie voice. Like a celestial soldier descending from the sky, he urged the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings and slashed across the vault of the heavens. Using the Graceful Spiritual Bow to open a path, he went directly into the Heavenly Emperor Gate to kill.

Suddenly, Qin Wushuang opened his sharp eyes widely and saw a hurried figure. Acting all sneaky, he had flashed to disappear. Qin Wushuang shouted, “If you do not want to become a target, come out!”

The figure trembled and did not dare to keep hiding as she raised her hands and walked out of the forest. She had lost all color on her face and was full of panic.

“Who are you?” when Qin Wushuang saw this panicking lady, he frowned to ask.

“I… I am Ruo Ping Fairy of the Emei Daoist Sect. I know you, you are Qin Wushuang of the Qin Clan.”

“Ruo Ping Fairy?” Qin Wushuang knew that the Senior Sister of the Emei Daoist Sect was called Ruo Ping Fairy, yet he had never seen her before. He had only seen Ruo Can Fairy, Ruo Tong Fairy, and Shui Ruolan.

On the contrary, he had only heard the name of this Ruo Ping Fairy and never saw her in person. Now seeing her like this, he could not help but be suspicious. “You are a disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect, why have you come here?”

“I… I had one night with that Xin Wuji. I didn’t expect that he had died at the Illusion Heavenly Lake. Thus, I cleaned his remains and tried to send it to the Heavenly Emperor Gate in secret. Besides, I have received orders from my teacher to look for you at the Xuan Yuan Mound.”

“Look for me?” There appeared a trace of murderous intentions from Qin Wushuang’s eyes. “How have you recognized me to be Qin Wushuang?”

“When you fought with Xin Wuji, I was close to your battle and recognized the Graceful Spiritual Bow in your hand!” In order to prove herself, Ruo Ping Fairy shook the Emei Daoist Sect commanding plate in her hand. “This is the commanding plate of the Emei Daoist Sect.”

Qin Wushuang shot a glance at it and his suspicion subsided. He asked with an indifferent tone, “Why are you looking for me?”

“Of course it’s for things related to Junior Sister Ruolan… Junior Sister Ruolan…” Ruo Ping Fairy stuttered and did not continue to speak.
