Jin Wuhuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't utter a single word, so naturally he had no options.
The sorrow of parting slowly dissipates.
Just when I had nowhere to feel sorrow.
A faint, melodious bell sound drifted from afar, reaching their ears. Linghu Lan stopped in her tracks, and Jin Wuhuan emerged from the bamboo house, standing beside her.
The sound of that bell was unlike any other; it was like a ghostly sound, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes real, sometimes illusory.
Jin Wuhuan frowned; the bell sounded somewhat familiar.
A moment later, a voice shouted, "There's a bamboo hut over there, go check if they're hiding there!"
Jin Wuhuan's heart tightened, and he secretly regretted not taking out his sword earlier.
Several whooshing sounds pierced the air as a group of people landed. They glanced at the two men and then rushed into the bamboo house. A few breaths later, the group leaped out again and landed in front of Linghu Lan and Jin Wuhuan, asking, "Did you see a beautiful woman pass by here?"
These people, with their deep-set eyes and high noses, were clearly from the Central Plains. Their clothing and mannerisms were distinctly foreign, and even their speech had a strange accent. They held a circle in their hands, adorned with bells, from which the eerie bell sound from earlier had originated.
Linghu Lan and Jin Wuhuan instantly knew who had come: the Outer Domain Demonic Sect.
The two exchanged a glance, and Jin Wuhuan said, "Never seen him before!"
The group of people said "oh" and walked out.
Suddenly, the leader stopped. "Do you know who I'm talking about?"
"have no idea!"
"Then why did you say you'd never seen it?"
Jin Wuhuan sneered, "There are countless women in the world, how could I possibly have seen them all, and how could I possibly know which one you are referring to?"
The man leaped back, staring intently at Jin Wuhuan's face, and suddenly exclaimed, "You are Jin Wuhuan, the young leader of the Demonic Sect! How dare you say you've never seen her? Where is our sect's Holy Maiden?"
Jin Wuhuan knew he had been exposed, so he hurriedly reached out to slash at the group of people. However, the person's martial arts were strange and different from those of the Central Plains martial arts world. His body was soft and boneless, and he managed to dodge at an extremely strange angle.
Linghu Lan frowned slightly and flicked out a thunderstorm talisman, which flew towards the man.
Just as he was about to play the second shot, he was ambushed from behind and his pressure point was struck.
Linghu Lan: "..."
She finally understood the feeling of being bound by fate. In the world of martial arts, a weakling without martial arts skills is truly vulnerable.
Several members of a foreign demonic sect joined forces to capture Jin Wuhuan, but after only a few moves, Jin Wuhuan was also immobilized by having his pressure points sealed.
Just as the leader was about to interrogate Jin Wuhuan, a loud bang was heard from the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down, scorching the man to a crisp. The others were startled and quickly jumped back a few steps.
After a while, seeing that there was no further movement, they helped their leader up from the ground, feeling a little strange. Why was there thunder on a sunny day?
They had only been in Yuncheng for a short time and were unaware of what had happened at the martial arts tournament, so they did not connect Lei with Linghu Lan.
The leader was badly injured and was helped aside, his head throbbing. He whispered a few instructions to his subordinate.
Immediately, his subordinate walked up to Jin Wuhuan and asked, "Where is my Holy Maiden Lu Yinshuang?"
Jin Wuhuan's old wounds had not yet healed, and new wounds had appeared on his body. His chest and abdomen were in great pain, but he still snorted coldly with a tough attitude: "You should be looking for the Holy Maiden in the outer regions, why did you come all the way to the Central Plains to look for her?"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Our sect wanted to form a marriage alliance with your sect. The Holy Maiden came alone to glorify your sect, but some time ago, we received a distress signal from the Holy Maiden, asking if you had killed her."
