Chapter 488: Being Watched
"Who's there?! Show yourself!"
Stop pretending to be a ghost!
The leader of the men in black shouted to the surroundings, deliberately raising his voice to embolden himself.
But all that answered him was the whistling wind.
Just as they were becoming increasingly cautious, a black blade of energy swept out from a corner, and with two swishes, muffled groans and the sound of blood splattering amplified infinitely in the silent dense forest!
Apart from the leader of the men in black, all of his accomplices were killed!
The man in black turned pale. The next second, he heard soft footsteps behind him—
His body stiffened, and he turned his head very slowly. Before him stood a young man in black robes and a young woman in white robes, standing side by side.
"Are you looking for me?"
Ye Fei crossed her arms and squinted at the man in black.
The man in black was horrified: his accomplices were all killed by these two young men?!
Aren't they cultivators at the Spirit King level?!
The man in black slowly retreated, about to turn and flee, when Li Yuan saw his intention. With a flick of his sleeve, a silver thread shot out and pierced the man in black's left shoulder with a soft thud!
"ah!"
A sharp pain spread through his left shoulder, and the man in black screamed in agony, staggering back a step.
Li Yuan took a step forward, and with his movement, the silver thread was slightly pulled up. The man in black felt as if his left shoulder bone was about to be pulled out of his body!
"Why are you following us? Tell us."
Li Yuan looked down at the man in black, a faint purple light flashing in his dark eyes.
The man in black gritted his teeth: "I won't tell... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, the crisp sound of bones being torn apart by silver threads rang out, and the excruciating pain instantly made the man in black break out in a cold sweat.
"My patience isn't that good." Li Yuan's voice deepened, and a strong killing intent emanated from him.
The man in black finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "I'll talk... I'll talk!"
"It's the Great Divine Envoy! The Great Divine Envoy has sent us to investigate that little girl named Ye Fei!"
Li Yuan coldly asked, "Why is the Great Divine Envoy investigating Ye Fei?"
"We...we don't know either! We were just following the orders of the Great God!"
Standing behind Li Yuan, Ye Fei frowned. The Great Envoy wanted to investigate her?
The Great Divine Envoy seems to be a member of the Holy Order, right? What could be the reason for investigating her?
Li Yuan nodded, and with a flick of his finger, the silver thread was immediately pulled out from his left shoulder!
He then flicked his sleeve, and a surge of dark spiritual energy flew out, instantly cleaving the man in black in two at the waist.
The strong smell of blood filled the air, and Ye Fei covered her mouth and nose slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Li Yuan raised his hand, and a black sphere condensed in his palm, which swallowed all the corpses lying on the ground.
These few underlings, sent by the Great God to track down Ye Fei, ultimately disappeared silently from this world.
After finishing, Li Yuan grasped Ye Fei's hand: "Have you been in contact with people from the Holy Church recently?"
Ye Fei shook her head: "No, you know I don't like the Holy Order."
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Being targeted by the Holy Sect was not a good thing.
"By the way, what was that silver thread you just used?" Ye Fei looked up at him curiously.
Li Yuan pulled something out of his sleeve, and in the darkness, the girl saw several thin silver threads held between his fingers: "These are Soul-Locking Threads, my weapon."
Ye Fei was slightly surprised; she couldn't tell what material the silver threads were made of.
However, this Soul-Locking Silk does bear some resemblance to a type of hidden weapon she wanted to design called the Mysterious Imprisoning Silk.
