Upon hearing this, the confidant hesitated and cautiously said, "Vice Leader, doing this might bring disaster to the Ming Cult."
He thought to himself, "Isn't this going to offend the entire cultivation world?"
If we really do that, will our Ming Cult have any good outcome?
Upon hearing this, Wu Hai was furious.
His eyes widened, and he grabbed his henchman by the collar, lifting him up and cursing viciously, "What do you know! This is an order. If you don't obey, we'll both die! Do you want me to die with you?"
The confidant trembled with fear and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left the palace.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the palace, followed by a loud announcement: "The Blood Sect messenger has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hai immediately suppressed his anger, put on a smile, straightened his clothes, and strode to the door to greet him.
A man dressed in a blood-red robe strode in.
Wu Hai, all smiles, quickly bowed and said, "The Blood Sect envoy has graced us with his presence. I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you sooner. Please forgive me."
The Blood Sect messenger nodded slightly, then took out an exquisite brocade box from his bosom and solemnly handed it to Wu Hai, saying, "This is a token of the marriage alliance between my Blood Sect Master and your sect's Holy Maiden. Please take a look, Vice Sect Master."
Wu Hai took the brocade box and carefully opened it, revealing a blood-red jade pendant inside.
"This marriage alliance between the Ming Cult and the Blood Cult is truly a great thing!" Wu Hai said with a face full of flattery. "With the alliance of the two cults, we will surely dominate in the future. The Blood Cult is powerful and complements our Ming Cult perfectly. If we work together, we will surely make all forces respect us."
As he said this, Wu Hai kept nodding and bowing, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his face was all smiles.
In his heart, however, he was thinking, "Does the Blood Sect, a demonic sect, even deserve to form a marriage alliance with my Ming Cult?"
However, since we need manpower right now, it wouldn't hurt to make use of it for the time being.
The Blood Clan messenger beamed with delight upon hearing this flattery and nodded repeatedly.
Outside the palace, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were carefully hiding in a dark corner.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed out from the palace, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
The man was completely shrouded in a black cloak, with only a pair of cold eyes visible, radiating a chilling aura.
Xiao Feng's eyes sharpened, and his muscles tensed instantly.
He turned to look at Zhao Yuwei and whispered, "Follow him!"
Zhao Yuwei nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
She asked softly, "Isn't it too dangerous?"
Xiao Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Don't worry, we're just following them, we won't expose ourselves easily."
After saying that, the two followed silently like ghosts.
They carefully kept their distance, afraid of alerting the men in black ahead.
The man in black used his lightness skill to move swiftly through the treetops like a ghost, heading towards Wushan.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei followed closely behind, their hearts filled with doubt.
"Could this person be from Wushan?" Xiao Feng wondered to himself as he tracked him. "What exactly is he planning in the Ming Cult?"
Zhao Yuwei seemed to sense Xiao Feng's doubts and asked in a low voice, "Do you think this person might be related to the Wushan Seal?"
Xiao Feng frowned and replied in a low voice, "Very likely."
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei followed cautiously behind the man in black.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuwei gently tugged at Xiao Feng's sleeve and whispered, "Xiao Feng, I'm going to follow this man in black. You can go back and protect Su Xueqing without worry."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned and said with a worried expression, "No, this is too dangerous. I can't let you go alone."
Zhao Yuwei shook her head firmly and said, "It's okay, I have the ability to protect myself. It's more important for you to protect Su Xueqing, as this is crucial to our plan to rescue Wu Hai."
Xiao Feng still refused. He wanted to protect Zhao Yuwei, but he was also worried about Su Xueqing's safety, and he was caught in a dilemma.
However, Zhao Yuwei had already made up her mind. Before Xiao Feng could speak again, she chased after the man in black.
Helpless, Xiao Feng could only watch Zhao Yuwei's retreating figure, sigh inwardly, and turn back to the entrance of the Ming Cult palace to continue observing from the shadows.
He hid behind a thick pillar, staring intently at the palace entrance, fearing that something unusual might happen.
Zhao Yuwei chased after the man in black all the way to the foot of Wushan Mountain.
The surrounding mist swirled, and the mountain peaks appeared and disappeared, giving people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.
The man in black entered the seal of Wushan without any hindrance.
Zhao Yuwei was shocked. The seal on the Wushan Mountain was as solid as iron, and ordinary people could not enter or leave it. How could this man in black have come out of the seal so easily?
She secretly wondered who this man in black was.
Just as Zhao Yuwei was stunned, the man in black in front of her suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Yuwei had a bad feeling. Just as she was about to turn around, the man in black appeared behind her and suddenly struck her shoulder with a palm.
"Bang!"
Zhao Yuwei was unable to dodge in time and was struck hard on the shoulder, instantly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The intense pain turned her face deathly pale instantly, and her body staggered forward a few steps uncontrollably.
The man in black snorted coldly and said viciously, "Today I'll take your life!"
His voice was icy cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Zhao Yuwei endured the pain and barely managed to steady herself, countless questions flashing through her mind.
Why did this man in black want to kill me? Who sent him?
Despite the excruciating pain in her shoulder, Zhao Yuwei quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing that his first attack had missed, the man in black snorted coldly and then threw another punch at her.
The punches were fierce, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.
"So fast!" Zhao Yuwei was secretly shocked. She turned around and barely avoided the fatal blow.
Not to be outdone, she flipped her right hand, drew the sword from her waist, and thrust it at the man in black with a flash of cold light.
The man in black remained calm and easily dodged Zhao Yuwei's attack with a swift movement.
He sneered, "Is that all you've got? You dare to follow me?"
Zhao Yuwei constantly changed her posture to deal with the man in black.
But the man in black was truly terrifying!
"No, if this continues, I'm bound to lose!" Zhao Yuwei gritted her teeth.
Just then, the man in black seized the opportunity and delivered another powerful palm strike.
Although Zhao Yuwei dodged in time, she was still hit by the palm strike and her body flew backward uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
Zhao Yuwei crashed heavily into the large tree behind her, and with a loud bang, the thick tree was snapped in half.
She suddenly felt dizzy, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, the man in black sneered and slowly approached: "Now, you have nowhere to escape."
Despite the excruciating pain, Zhao Yuwei's eyes darted around rapidly.
