This Bei Luo City’s City Lord was obviously dead.
During the day, a great army of the Spirit Religion had launched an attack on the Bei Luo City, but Bei Luo City was an important city of the Black Ink Religion. There were many masters in the city, so it was not easy to take it down, especially with the City Lord of the Bei Luo City.
While the Spirit Religion was having a headache over how to take down Bei Luo City, on this silent night, Xue Ji brought the head of the Bei Luo City’s City Lord to Li Feiyu.
While Li Feiyu was still lost in thought, Xue Ji’s figure gradually disappeared into the night, her voice echoing out, “Before dawn, Bei Luo City won’t find out about this. You don’t need me to teach you what to do, right?”
“Wait,” Li Feiyu called out, no longer having any doubts about Xue Ji.
This woman whose name had spread throughout the world and caused countless men’s expressions to change, had really been subdued by that man.
Xue Ji’s disappearing figure reappeared, “Is there anything else?”
Li Feiyu said, “The thing that man asked you to do is not only killing this person, right?”
The smile on Xue Ji’s face slowly faded as she suddenly averted her eyes and tilted her head, “That’s why I hate smart women!”
Li Feiyu raised her brow, thinking that she had guessed correctly, and immediately asked bluntly, “Then, what is the complete order he gave you?”
Xue Ji’s face was filled with unwillingness as she hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Master said that he wants me to cooperate with you and provide you with a target. I will cut down the obstacles in front of you.”
“Master…” The corner of Li Feiyu’s mouth twitched slightly. Just what kind of heaven-shaking means did that man have? Not only did he subdue this woman, he even made her willingly call him Master!
One had to know that this woman was one of the top masters in the world.
Suppressing the shock in her heart, she nodded slightly and said, “Very good, then how should I contact you? You should at least leave me something to contact you.”
“I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you.” Xue Ji was like a child who had been wronged as she threw out a communication bead.
Li Feiyu received it with a satisfied look on her face. Looking at her old rival, she couldn’t help asking, “I didn’t expect a woman like you to bow down to a man. Is that man’s charm so great? Or is there something else about him that makes you very satisfied?”
Originally, it was just a teasing remark, but after she finished speaking, Li Feiyu’s body suddenly went stiff. In her vision, Xue Ji’s figure suddenly became blurry, and in the next moment, a chill spread across her entire body.
Xue Ji’s voice came from behind her, as light as a ghost, and as she exhaled, her hair fluttered, “Master’s strength is not something you can imagine. Don’t speak nonsense, if Master hears you, he’ll be angry. If he gets angry, I won’t have a good end. If I don’t, you won’t have a good end either!”
Li Feiyu held her sword with one hand, her entire body tense as beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. She wanted to move, but like a nightmare, her body became stiff, unable to move.
After a long time, she suddenly turned around.
There was no trace of Xue Ji behind her, this woman had disappeared at some point.
When the cold wind blew over, Li Feiyu realized that her clothes were drenched in sweat.
“Huu…” She let out a long sigh, as if she was a drowning person who had just emerged from the water. Her body went limp and she nearly fell to the ground. Recalling everything that had just happened, her eyes couldn’t help trembling.
Xue Ji’s strength… had actually become so powerful?
Over the years, she and Xue Ji had fought openly and secretly many times, so they were considered old rivals. Xue Ji’s Blood Dao Secret Technique was indeed strange and difficult to deal with, but her strength wasn’t bad either, so they were evenly matched.
When one’s cultivation reached their current level, it was almost impossible for them to make any significant improvements. At most, they would be able to condense their strength through years of cultivation.
The last time she had fought with Xue Ji was a year ago, and she had even managed to defeat her by half a move.
However, the strength that Xue Ji had displayed tonight gave her a feeling that she could not resist.
If Xue Ji had wanted to kill her just now, Li Feiyu would not have been able to escape.
In a year’s time, she had grown so much, this was definitely not Xue Ji’s own ability.
No wonder Xue Ji listened to that man’s every word, no wonder she could lower herself to call him Master. It seemed that the benefits this man’s Blood Essence could bring to Xue Ji were unimaginable.
Suppressing the roiling thoughts in her heart, she secretly rejoiced.
Because of this person, the powerful Xue Ji now stood on the side of the Spirit Religion.
If she cooperated with Xue Ji in secret, she would definitely be able to eliminate a large number of masters who were obstructing the advancement of the Spirit Religion's army. This war would be much easier than expected.
After collecting her thoughts, Li Feiyu quickly left.
Before dawn, they had to launch an attack on Bei Luo City. This was the best opportunity to take down Bei Luo City!
When the two women met at night, Yang Kai had quietly snuck back to the Dawn City.
At the outskirts of the city, he easily found Mu, who was living in seclusion.
“You bastard, why are you here again!” Little Eleven stood in front of the door, not allowing Yang Kai to enter, his expression filled with anger, “Speak, did you set your eyes on my Sixth Sister? I’m telling you, don’t even think about my Sixth Sister, otherwise… Aiya!”
Covering his head with his hands, he turned around and stared at Mu with a look of grievance. Just now, Mu had knocked the back of his head.
“Enough nonsense, go out and play!” Mu glared at him.
Little Eleven shrank his neck and wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare. His mouth twitched as he ran out, crying. As he passed by Yang Kai, he deliberately bumped into him.
After running far away, he turned around and said fiercely, “You bastard, if you dare do anything to my Sixth Sister, I’ll… I’ll…”
After all, he was still young and couldn’t speak any malicious threats, so he couldn’t think of anything to say.
Yang Kai laughed, “You will what?”
Little Eleven finally spoke up, “I’ll smash your head!”
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing.
Little Eleven made a funny face at him again, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and disappeared.
Yang Kai watched him leave and slowly shook his head before turning around and bowing respectfully to Mu, “Senior.”
Mu’s eyes were still fixed on the spot where Little Eleven had disappeared. After a moment, he said, “It was discovered by you.”
Yang Kai didn’t expect her to take the initiative to admit this matter, so he said, “Since Senior has done so, Senior naturally has her reasons.”
“There is indeed a reason,” Mu did not deny, instead asking curiously, “But how did you discover it? There should be no problem with him.”
“Of course!” Yang Kai smiled, “Wu Kuang said that back then you were ranked sixth, and there were only ten Martial Ancestors, but now there’s suddenly a Little Eleven appeared. This is quite interesting.”
Mu replied, “Just a simple title cannot explain anything.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Indeed, but I’m afraid Senior doesn’t care. The last time I came here, I asked Senior why the Profound Gate is so important to you and why you don’t control it. Senior said that because of some reasons, you can’t get too close to the Profound Gate. However, the trace of Source sealed inside the Profound Gate was Senior’s doing, so why can’t you get too close to the Profound Gate? So I think the one who can’t get too close to the Profound Gate is not Senior, but someone else.”
Wu Kuang’s voice rang out in his mind, “Hey, you mean, that Little Eleven…”
Yang Kai replied, “It was just a guess, but judging from Mu’s reaction, it should be correct.”
Wu Kuang immediately shouted fiercely, “Kill him!”
“If killing him can solve the problem, Mu shouldn’t be so merciful. The root of the problem isn’t him, but the sealed Source.”
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
“What if it backfired?”
Wu Kuang immediately fell silent. It had to be said that there was indeed such a possibility, and as long as there was even the slightest possibility, he could not take any risks.
As he spoke, Mu welcomed Yang Kai into the courtyard and brought out two chairs for them to sit down.
“Your thinking is indeed quick,” Mu praised, “However, it’s not that I want to hide this from you, it’s just that it’s useless if you know.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Senior doesn’t need to worry about it.”
Mu didn’t continue this topic and instead asked, “Why did you come back? Did something happen?”
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn, “I went to the Black Ink Abyss and found some things.”
Mu was interested, “Tell me about it.”
Because she couldn’t approach the Profound Gate, she didn’t know what the depths of the Black Ink Abyss looked like. All she knew was some general information.
Yang Kai immediately recounted his experience in the depths of the Black Ink Abyss.
Hearing this, Mu’s expression gradually became serious.
After Yang Kai finished speaking, she let out a bitter laugh, “It seems that Mu wasn’t the only one who left behind a contingency plan. Black Ink has secretly done something to it.” She turned to look at Yang Kai, “As you can see, the Apostles in the depths of the Black Ink Abyss have a power that surpasses the Immortal Ascension, allowing them to survive safely. However, when they leave the bottom of the Black Ink Abyss, they will be annihilated by the World's Will, because this world does not allow any power above the Immortal Ascension to appear. This is a huge burden to the world.”
“That’s right!” Yang Kai nodded, “According to Junior’s observations, there should be a force at the bottom of the Black Ink Abyss that is blocking this World’s Will, or rather, because of this force, the bottom of the Black Ink Abyss is a world of its own, so even if the Apostles possessed a power that surpasses the Immortal Ascension, they would still be safe. However, when they rushed out and left the range of this force, they were detected by the World’s Will and were subsequently repelled by the World’s Will. Their strength was extremely unstable and not something they cultivated on their own, so they were unable to withstand the hostility of the World’s Will and eventually exploded.”
Hearing this, Mu nodded, “That should be the case.”
Yang Kai analyzed, “Senior just said that you weren’t the only one who left behind a trump card, Black Ink also left some. Does this mean that it was because of the sealed Source? A trace of his Source allowed the Black Ink Abyss to form a region that could contain the power above the Immortal Ascension. He probably wanted to use this method to protect his Source and even break the seal to help it escape!”
