Xue Ran chuckled, "Senior Sun, are you joining in the fun too?"
Sun Yidao said, "With so many people here, it would be unreasonable for me not to get involved. But there's something I don't understand. You're only twenty-eight this year, but the previous leader of the Demonic Sect should be over forty now. Xue Ran, you don't look like someone in their forties."
"If you can't figure it out, then forget it. The more you know, the faster you'll die." Xue Ran's long whip suddenly twitched.
Guided by his internal energy, the whip seemed to come alive, untangling the sword it was binding, and then darted behind Sun Yidao, attacking from behind.
Sun Yidao turned and jumped back to dodge. After several rounds, he found himself only able to defend in Xue Ran's inescapable trap. After a feint, he took a few steps back and, while catching his breath, shouted to Feng Guang, "You guys go first and find Dongfang Ye!"
Feng Guang: "But you..."
"Let's go!" Without giving Feng Guang a chance to speak, Qing Yu grabbed her and ran.
As a martial artist, he could see better than Feng Guang that Sun Yidao was completely suppressed. This master, known as the number one swordsman in the world in the Chronicles of the Storm, was powerless against Xue Ran. Qing Yu was shocked and then felt even more terrified. Xue Ran had never shown such profound whip skills in front of them before. He didn't know how many more tricks this man had up his sleeve. He had to find reinforcements before Sun Yidao was killed.
Seeing this, Guan Yueyue gritted her teeth, carried Nangong Li on her back, and struggled to move away from the battle.
Nobody cares about them.
Qingyu and Fengguang's figures quickly disappeared into the night. Xue Ran suddenly let out a short laugh. His smile contained a gentleness that was almost bewitching. He slowly said, "You're just a mere sixty-year-old kid, yet I've called you senior for so many years. Do you really think your seniority is greater than mine? Sun Yidao, since you won't learn your lesson, then I don't need to be polite anymore."
A chill suddenly ran through Sun Yidao's heart.
Meanwhile, Qingyu led Fengguang towards Dongfang Ye's residence. Although he had never met Dongfang Ye, he knew that Dongfang Ye lived in the most luxurious mansion on the mountain. Every night, the mansion was brightly lit, filled with the sounds of string and wind instruments, and guarded by a guard led by Zhijian. More importantly, Dongfang Ye would never tolerate anyone disturbing the peace in the valley.
Tonight, it happened to be the night of the patrol led by the swordsman. When he saw Qingyu being stopped by the guards at the gate, and noticing his and Fengguang's anxious expressions, he couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Madam Xue, Qingyu, what happened?"
Feng Guang, panting, said, "Xue Ran's identity as a member of the Demonic Sect has been exposed. He wants to kill Senior Sun. Senior Sun is in danger. You must go and save him!"
Upon hearing this, without asking any further questions, he quickly waved his hand and said to the people behind him, "Come with me!"
Seeing a group of swordsmen hurriedly run away using their light-footed skills, Feng Guang leaned against the door, feeling utterly weak. She covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, but she didn't cry out.
"Master's wife." Qingyu sat beside her. He couldn't think of any words to comfort her except those two, because he himself couldn't bear this fact.
This was the first time Feng Guang had heard him call her "Master's Wife," but she found it extremely ironic. Her voice was broken and hesitant as she said, "Don't call me 'Master's Wife'... I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
“I understand…” Qingyu’s expression darkened.
"Qingyu... Senior Sun will be alright... right? After all... after all, he is the number one swordsman in the world, he won't die so easily, right?"
"Yes..." Just as she was comforting herself, Qingyu reassured Fengguang, "Senior Sun will be alright."
Feng Guang was far from at ease. She asked, "System, why didn't you tell me that he was the one who wiped out my entire family?"
"I told you to accelerate your escape from the world, but you didn't want to."
Originally, none of this could have happened.
