In the quiet, dark alleyway.
Nie Han lay trembling on the ground, his skin torn and bleeding, and his breath was fading.
Clang!
The spear in his hand rolled to the ground and slid down to Wu Jun's feet.
"You've ruined the psionic spear of the Double S. As a fellow spear user, you're far inferior to your senior brother..."
Wu Jun picked up the silver spear that emitted a faint light and shook her head slightly.
"Killing me would be an insult to Plum Garden, my teacher..."
Nie Han struggled to lift his head, his ashen face filled with resentment and anger.
Snap!
The third lash fell.
Nie Han's roar came to an abrupt halt, his body instantly shattering and turning into countless ashes.
A cold wind blew by, scattering all the ashes, leaving only a blurry humanoid mark and a crystal-clear spiritual core radiating golden light on the ground.
With a wave of her hand, Wu Jun captured Nie Han's core and quickly threw it into the Hidden God Coffin, then snapped the box shut.
Then, Wu Jun's figure silently vanished from the spot.
A few seconds later.
At the entrance of Plum Garden, Wu Jun's figure reappeared.
He placed the coffin and spear he was holding on the ground, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and placed it on the ground as well.
"What joy is there in life, what sorrow in death? Amitabha... Bah, you dead monk, don't bother me."
Wu Jun shook her head, as if trying to banish some distracting thoughts from her mind.
She looked up at the plum garden again, and Wu Jun's figure dispersed with the wind.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Plum Garden.
In the garden pavilion, Guo Zhouyuan, the third disciple of Yanshan Gong, and Ren Zihan, the sixth disciple, both looked astonished as they dropped their chess pieces and turned to look at Wang Shuo, who had just arrived in a hurry.
"What did you say?" Guo Zhouyuan asked, puzzled. "What do you mean by 'suddenly disappeared'?"
"Third Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, I don't know what happened either. When we got to Qingliu Lane, I think I just blinked, and Fifth Senior Brother suddenly disappeared..."
Wang Shuo explained blankly, "I searched all around but couldn't find him. At first, I thought that my fifth senior brother might have some urgent business or had turned back first. But when I returned to Plum Garden, I realized that my fifth senior brother seemed to have really disappeared."
At this moment, Ren Zihan, who had been pondering for a while, raised his head and shook his head at Guo Zhouyuan, who was looking at him.
"The bracelet is out of service area, and the communication token is not responding."
"strangeness……"
Guo Zhouyuan stood up, concentrated on sensing for a while, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong, Third Senior Brother?" Ren Zijian noticed that Guo Zhouyuan's expression was off and hurriedly asked.
"I just tried to locate the fifth brother's position by using the concept of cause and effect, but I was completely clueless. I have a bad feeling..."
Guo Zhouyuan said in a deep voice.
Just then, a figure in black appeared silently in the garden.
Why are all three of you so restless? What happened?
The Duke of Yanshan, who appeared with his hands behind his back, asked indifferently.
"Teacher!" The three hurriedly bowed.
But when Wang Shuo looked up, he saw that the figure of the Duke of Yanshan was somewhat ethereal, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Teacher, your body..."
"It's alright, it's just an illusion."
Duke Yanshan waved his hand and said.
A phantom body?
Wang Shuo was filled with doubts, but seeing that Han Chi had no intention of explaining, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Teacher, where did your real body go?" Guo Zhouyuan was much bolder and asked directly.
"Someone just blocked the Heavenly Secrets of Beidu. I went to check why, but the Heavenly Secrets have now been restored..."
As Han Chi spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and then his body disappeared from the spot like a bubble.
The next moment.
Another Han Chi, dressed in black and with an even more somber expression, appeared in the garden.
"Teacher!" All three realized that this was the true form of Duke Yanshan, and quickly bowed again.
Duke Yanshan remained silent, only his left eye twitched slightly.
Guo Zhouyuan, who was familiar with Yanshan Gong's habits, was terrified. He knew this was a sign that his teacher was about to fly into a rage.
It's been so many years since I've seen my teacher look like this...
Could it be related to my fifth junior brother?
Thinking of Nie Han's mysterious disappearance, Guo Zhouyuan's bad premonition grew stronger.
Wow!
The next moment, the silent Duke of Yanshan waved his hand.
The group felt a blur before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, they found themselves at the entrance of Plum Garden.
All around, powerful warriors from the mountains and seas were rushing to protect them.
Duke Yanshan ignored the group of people from the mountains and seas who were bowing to him, and simply lowered his head to look at his feet.
Guo Zhouyuan and the other two, still puzzled, all lowered their heads, and then their expressions changed drastically.
At their feet lay a silver spear, a coffin for the dead, and a small porcelain bottle.
"Nie Han!"
Fifth Senior Brother…
The moment they saw the silver spear, the three of them, with their keen senses, immediately made a connection and all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Open."
Duke Yanshan lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to see his expression; only his voice, devoid of emotion, could be heard.
Ren Zihan squatted down and opened the coffin of the God of Burial with slightly trembling fingers.
A pale golden spiritual core was revealed to everyone.
Without the barrier of the coffin of the god of burial, that familiar aura could no longer be concealed.
Guo Zhouyuan's eyes reddened almost instantly, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, causing the surrounding mountain and sea guards, along with Wang Shuo, to turn pale.
"Xiao Wu..."
Duke Yanshan uttered two more words softly, then raised his head.
