Chapter 73 The one with the injuries is the masked man!

Ye Li dodged to the side, and with a swift movement, the Azure Frost Sword appeared in her hand.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously at the Heavenly Gate Sect!"

Her response was a second, fierce attack.

The bloodthirsty aura, like a ghost or a demon, brought with it a chilling deathly presence, heading straight for the face.

Unable to dodge in time, Ye Li used her sword to block the attack. The overwhelming ghostly energy pressed down, and the sword rang out.

She struggled to steady herself, her feet pressing deep into the ground.

Before she could react, a third attack followed.

The ghostly aura was all too familiar to Ye Li; it was that ghost mask!

But the situation at hand didn't allow her to think it through. She lightly touched the ground with her toes, flipped sideways, and narrowly avoided the attack, but a strand of her hair was cut off by the fierce killing move.

The other party clearly didn't want to let her go; every move was deadly, yet they were all concealed and invisible.

If he isn't found soon, she'll be dead today!

At the critical moment of life and death, Xie Sixing's calm voice came from the mirror, "Southeast direction."

Without hesitation, Ye Li turned and flew away with her sword.

The sword whistled as it sliced ​​through the night sky, followed by a muffled groan.

Ye Li chased after them, but there was no one there.

The only thing on the ground was her fallen sword. When she picked it up, she saw that it was stained with blood.

Ye Li looked around and saw that the eerie ghostly aura that had surrounded her had disappeared.

The person is gone.

She murmured, "Is it that ghost mask?"

Although their auras were identical, she always felt that the masked man wouldn't be so easily harmed by her.

Logically speaking, she is no longer Ye Li, but Jiang Li, so why does Ghost Face still want to take her life?

She felt that there must be some hidden story behind this that she didn't know about.

Seeing the bloodstains on the sword, he touched them with his fingertips and rubbed them away.

Since Ghost Face was injured by her, she could determine whether Chu Wei was Ghost Face by looking at the wound.

Ye Li's soul left her body to go to Kongshan Sect to find Chu Wei, but she waited for several hours without seeing Chu Wei return.

Could it be that he's afraid people will find out he's injured, which is why he's not coming back?

-

next day

As usual, Ye Li went to sweep and clean the Kongshan Gate. Just as she arrived nearby, she saw Chu Wei's figure flash by.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly followed.

Instead of returning to Kongshan Gate, Chu Wei went around to the back of the mountain.

Ye Li followed silently behind him.

After passing through a grove of trees, Chu Wei suddenly disappeared.

Where are they?!

She clearly saw Chu Wei walk in this direction.

Just as Ye Li was trying to find Chu Wei's direction, a flash of silver light appeared before her eyes, and a sword appeared around her neck.

Chu Wei's icy voice rang out, "Tell me, why are you following me?"

"I……"

Everything is still under investigation; we must not alert them.

Ye Li paused for a moment and said, "I fought Elder Chu during the last assessment and would like to learn from him again, so I am with the elder."

As she spoke, she sized up Chu Wei, trying to see if he was pretending not to recognize her or if he really didn't know her.

Chu Wei did not move his sword away; his gaze grew even colder. "If you wanted to learn from me, why didn't you come to Kongshan Sect? Why did you have to sneak around following me? What are you plotting? If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you!"

After uttering the last word, a powerful sword aura swept across the sky.

That was the pressure of innate sword bones. Ye Li felt a chill creeping along her bones, and her blood felt like it was about to freeze.

Although Chu Wei's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his combat strength was equivalent to that of the Divine Transformation stage, and she was no match for him.

Ye Li secretly gathered spiritual power in her palm, thinking of taking the initiative to force a breakthrough.

Just as she was about to take action, Ah Jin spoke up to stop her.

"Mother, if you used the power of soul cultivation, even if you run away, you can't hide forever. Listen to me, just tell me..."

"..."

Seeing that Ye Li remained silent, Chu Wei's eyes, like a lone star in the cold night, flashed with murderous intent.

"Still not going to talk?"

Ye Li said with difficulty, "Sect Master, the reason I sought you out in private is that I wish to follow you."

She had never said anything so mushy before; it gave me goosebumps all over.

"Follow me?"

Chu Wei was skeptical. "Why would you follow me?"

Ye Li continued reading from the script, "Because I admire you very much and regard you as my guiding light. Without you, I would lose my way in the Six Paths and would be unable to cultivate at all."

Chu Wei scrutinized Ye Li, seemingly trying to discern how much truth and falsehood was in her words.

Seeing his upright and dignified appearance, Ye Li secretly pondered.

Looking at Chu Wei's appearance alone, you can't see any trace of the masked man; he seems to be just a sect leader who is devoted to the sect.

Did she misunderstand him? Or was he just too good at acting?

Just as the two were scrutinizing each other, a surprised voice rang out.

"Chu Wei, what are you doing? Why are you pointing your sword at that girl?"

Turning around, I saw it was Feng Jingxuan, the sect leader of the Golden Cloud Sect.

Feng Jingxuan's attire was as eye-catching as ever, with his crimson outer robe mostly open. Far from being exaggerated, it exuded an indescribable air of elegance.

He used his folding fan to lift Ye Li's chin, his peach blossom eyes filled with heartache, "My beauty, that blockhead didn't hurt you, did he?"

Ye Li felt uncomfortable and turned her face away.

"No, thank you Elder Feng."

"It's good that you're alright, otherwise the elder would be heartbroken."

Chu Wei said coldly, "She had ulterior motives and followed me, which I discovered. Recently, the demon of the Wuqi Clan has reappeared in the world. If she has been bribed, wouldn't that cause a disaster? Let me kill her as an example to warn others."

As he spoke, he raised his sword to stab Ye Li, but Feng Jingxuan blocked it.

He scolded, "You're too rude! How could you bear to kill such a beautiful woman? Besides, what's wrong with being followed? I don't know how many female disciples are following me. If I killed them all, the Heavenly Gate Sect would be littered with corpses."

Ye Li had heard about it before.

Feng Jingxuan was the most popular with women among the sect leaders, and he had countless romantic entanglements.

This is also why Ye Li didn't suspect him.

His actions were vastly different from those of the masked man.

Despite Feng Jingxuan's pleas, Chu Wei remained unmoved, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."

"How can it not concern me? The beauty's affairs are my affairs."

Chu Wei stopped wasting words and directly swung his sword.

Feng Jingxuan barely dodged, then roared in fury, "Chu Wei! If you dare hurt my face, I'll fight you to the death!"

"..."

Ye Li was stunned to see the two sect leaders start fighting without saying a word.

Chu Wei was born with a sword-like spirit, and his momentum was unstoppable.

Feng Jingxuan, as an elder of the Golden Cloud Sect, was not just a figurehead; the attack range of the two of them was getting larger and larger.

Suddenly, Feng Jingxuan flew towards Ye Li.

Before Chu Wei could react, he grabbed Ye Li and ran, saying, "That martial arts fanatic is too rude, beauty, let's run!"

...

And so, Ye Li was carried away from the danger zone by Feng Jingxuan at lightning speed.

Before leaving, she looked back.

Chu Wei did not chase after her, but the look in his eyes was chilling.

Is Chu Wei really the masked man?

"My beauty, can you hear me?"

Ye Li snapped out of her daze and met Feng Jingxuan's face.

He was handsome with a face like jade, and his eyes were full of affection. Although they were complete strangers, his gaze towards her was full of tenderness.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that blood was seeping from Feng Jingxuan's shoulder.

hurt!

He actually had injuries!
