Chapter 1033: Chapter 24: Investigate, Investigate Thoroughly
Chen Guanshui was ditating underground, consolidating his state of mind, gradually sinking into a state of profound serenity, beyond joy and sorrow.
Success does not have to be attributed to , nor does it have to include . To save this world, both they and I have made imnse sacrifices. However, if not us, who could possibly nd the heavens’ breach with a single hand?
All of this is worth it!
As his thoughts gradually cleared, his cultivation level increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Outside the secret realm, everyone was already locked in fierce battle.
An Zhisu fought with increasing ferocity. An elder of the Eastern Emperor Path was slightly careless and had half an arm cut off by her Flying Sword, forcing him to retreat in a sorry state.
Already at a slight disadvantage in a three-on-two fight, losing one more combatant made it even harder for the Eastern Emperor Path to maintain control. Shi Yao could only glance around, signaling everyone to prepare for a tactical retreat.
Thus, everyone continued to fight for a few more rounds, seized the mont, and used their secret techniques to flee, quickly making their escape.
An Zhisu did not pursue but asked Shi Liuli:
“Is he in there?”
Shi Liuli did not answer.
She hesitated slightly, unsure if she should tell An Zhisu that “Tai Yin Sword Master is my husband.” Before she could make up her mind, An Zhisu, acting on her own, entered the secret realm with her sword, disappearing at the entrance.
Shi Liuli pondered for a mont, organizing her thoughts:
First, Ling Yunpo equals Luo Yan, which predestines her and Jiao Xiao to be love rivals.
This didn’t quite sound right, as she was the one who was properly married, while Jiao Xiao and Qing Heng… Anyway, she had never heard of Tai Yin Sword Master marrying anyone as a Daoist Companion.
So it’s not a relationship of love rivals, but rather of a legitimate wife and a mistress.
Given this, as the legitimate wife, what reason does she have to exchange information with a mistress?
To put it bluntly, if Jiao Xiao wished to be a concubine, she would have to be formally welcod, serve tea, and get her consent beforehand.
Secondly, she couldn’t defeat Jiao Xiao…
This was self-evident, as Jiao Xiao was among the top-ranked in the martial prowess within the talented ranks of the Shushan Shangqing Faction.
Though she was the legitimate wife and the other was an unacknowledged mistress, possibly only harboring unrequited love for the Tai Yin Sword Master, Jiao Xiao’s Flying Sword was sharp, and she was known for being unreasonable; thus, it would be challenging to restrain her through this relationship.
One might even speculate that if Jiao Xiao learned the truth, given her pride, she would likely refuse to be a concubine and might even try to eliminate her.
Reflecting on this, Shi Liuli was almost certain that An Zhisu was more likely to be an enemy than a friend. After all, Luo Yan could not be shared; one of them would have to be eliminated, leaving no room for coexistence.
Of course, no matter how she calculated, she still had to find that scoundrel first and ask what was going on clearly.
She silently perford a divination, examined it for a while, and then stepped into the secret realm.
As the world turned upside down, giant trees towered around her, flowers and plants blood, appearing to be a world full of vitality.
“Such rich Wood System spiritual energy,” Shi Liuli exclaid.
“Yes.” An Zhisu, standing beside her, nodded. She rembered having been to this secret realm before and asked directly, “Where is he?”
If this cave heaven was relatively small, she would certainly search carpet-style without a second thought.
But the problem was that based on her previous mory, she knew this Great Wood Secret Realm was indeed vast. If she rashly proceeded to search for soone, Ling Yunpo might take the opportunity to slip around to the entrance and escape without her even realizing it — so she couldn’t rush around recklessly.
“That scoundrel’s current location,” Shi Liuli said, “I need to calculate it.”
“What do you an by ‘that scoundrel’?” An Zhisu raised her eyebrows, feeling very displeased.
My junior brother, no matter how wrong he is, only I can scold, hit, or cut him; what right do you have to denigrate him?
“Oh, sorry,” Shi Liuli said calmly, “I’m calculating the whereabouts of my scoundrel.”
“Jingyun?” An Zhisu said irritably, “I’m asking about Qing Heng’s location.”
“What does Qing Heng have to do with ?” Shi Liuli said in surprise, “I’m divining to find Jingyun. As for the esteed elder Qing Heng of your faction, I’m helpless; please, Daoist companion, suit yourself.”
An Zhisu saw that she was unwilling to cooperate, and her expression grew colder, like frost.
But she quickly realized that since the Tai Yin Sword Master had acquired Elder Jingyun’s secret technique and Flying Sword through so ans, it indicated that they must have had contact.
If she followed Dong You to find Jingyun, perhaps she could inquire about Qing Heng’s whereabouts from him.
Shi Liuli divined again, confird a general direction, and then began to proceed.
An Zhisu followed behind without hesitation.
Seeing Jiao Xiao choose to follow her, Shi Liuli was not surprised; after all, the other didn’t have the skill of divination and would still rely on her to find the person.
Thinking this way, her initial apprehension due to being less powerful than the other was significantly reduced.
Deep underground, Chen Guanshui completed another cycle of breathing exercise but suddenly felt sothing amiss.
Because Ah Ling had been gone for too long, he wasn’t sure what had happened… The previous dragon roar seed to imply so ergency that required calling for help.
The problem was, what exactly was the ergency outside?
Thinking that even this Great Wood Secret Realm wasn’t safe made Chen Guanshui a bit troubled, and a feeling of unease increasingly grew stronger. He couldn’t help but think, could it be one of his wives had co looking for him?
No, staying here would be like a fish in a barrel, which is too unsafe.
With that in mind, Chen Guanshui imdiately controlled his sword to rush out.
