The area east of Yanshi Ridge, near the wet cliffs, was originally inhabited by the Yue Mountain lineage.
However, the Gu woman had already slaughtered the entire Yue Shan lineage. The small portion that Fu Yi had taken away was now hiding and dared not show its face.
Outside the Yue Shan clan, there were walking corpses infested with Gu worms everywhere, a truly horrifying sight.
Without the antidote concocted by the Demon Refining Elder in the Yang Palace, not only humans, but even demons would not dare to set foot here.
But now, someone has appeared here silently, taking advantage of the moonlight.
The expression on the face of the man with a stiff upper lip turned as if by instinct. He tiptoed over the rock wall and blocked the path of the approaching person.
"It's you?" Shizang was clearly taken aback.
Fu Yi, dressed in emerald green and holding a long sword, stood out conspicuously in the moonlight.
She didn't try to escape or dodge; she appeared here as if she were waiting for him.
That day, she almost pierced the Gu King's heart with her sword, but unfortunately, she failed and nearly lost her life, also losing an arm. Therefore, this time she took the initiative to come to the Wet Cliff to restrain the Silent Sang.
Firstly, since they were from the same clan, knowing each other would make it easier to deal with each other. Secondly, she still remembered what Ren Xiangxiang had told her.
"You mean, Lei Wan said that if she were to die, the oath of death would be believable?"
"Yes, that's what she said. Although I don't know exactly what happened, I believe she wouldn't have left those words without a reason."
After returning to Qiling Mountain, she repeatedly checked on Lei Wan's condition and finally confirmed that she had died at the hands of the maggots.
“So, I think perhaps…” Fuyi looked at everyone.
Ye Honglan spoke first, "You think there's something wrong with him?"
“Yes.” Fu Yi nodded. “The two of them could have been together. I know Lei Wan’s personality very well. If Hu Sang had really fallen into the Gu worm prisoner’s trap, she would have risked her life to take Hu Sang away. But she died herself.”
"That's a bit naive!" Mie Chenhuan interjected inappropriately, "What if that woman can't beat the other party? That so-called 'Hun Sang' has already been controlled by the Gu worms. I've seen it myself. How could it still retain its mind? To put it bluntly, they're all dead."
"Can't you just shut up?" Xiao Cangdao glared at Mie Chenhuan, who touched her nose and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
On one hand, she held a sliver of hope, and on the other hand, she hoped that, as Mie Chenhuan had said, she would be able to have a good, satisfying battle.
Therefore, the dejected reaction made Fuyi feel as if she saw him from the past.
Silent and stubborn, deep-thinking yet adept at self-deception, he and Lei Wan missed each other time and time again until they were separated by death.
"I came back to see..." Fuyi began, then paused, and added, "Are the old friends... still the same..."
The roe chuckled, “An old friend? You’re still so naive.”
“Yes! I’ve always been naive.” Fuyi said, her gaze shifting to the sleeve chain he was holding.
"Are you going to use her weapon against me? Don't you have your knife on you?"
Husang's expression changed slightly. Ever since Lei Wan gave Shenyun to him, he had kept it on his person, but had never used it.
"So what if I use her weapon? As for this knife, it's still alive."
As he spoke, Hun Sang flicked his sleeve chain, and the sharp blade of the chain quickly pointed at his chest before whistling back to his wrist.
"Since you're all back, why don't you stay?" As soon as Quesang finished speaking, he made the first move.
Fuyi was still immersed in his actions when she was startled to see the sleeve chain flying towards her and instinctively jumped up.
The Gongyi lineage has always been known for its unexpected and deadly attacks, and Lei Wan was one of the best among them. In her heyday, even Xiu Shen, the successor of the clan leader, was wary of her. However, she later suffered heavy losses in a battle with Hunsang.
With her right hand crippled, her cultivation seemed to be far inferior to before, and she was almost unable to exert her full strength until she died at the hands of the stag.
Fu Yi had never fought Lei Wan, but she had heard of the legendary reputation of the Sleeve Flying Chain, which claimed that anyone struck by it was either dead or crippled.
However, the Sleeve Flying Chain is now in the hands of the Sang, who is accustomed to using the long sword Chenyun. She has never seen him use any other weapon.
So when she saw her opponent use the Sleeve Flying Chain, Fu Yi was stunned and startled. Her reaction was a beat slow. But the cold light flew through her empty sleeve like a snake emerging from its hole.
She immediately broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Husang in disbelief.
The broken sleeve chain seemed to be Lei Wan reborn. Fu Yi's mind was in chaos for a moment, and Ren Xiangxiang's words echoed in her ears once again.
“This isn’t the Fuyi I know!” A calm and composed voice interrupted her thoughts.
Fuyi looked up in astonishment again, and the person in front of her seemed to be the same Husang from back then.
"you--"
Before she could finish speaking, the sleeve chain suddenly flew upwards from below at a tricky angle, and Fuyi immediately swept her longsword horizontally, her demonic power instantly spreading around her, forming a hard shell.
The Yue Shan lineage are mountain turtles, and they are best at defense. Fu Yi's use of her shell armor is superb. Otherwise, how could she have escaped from Dao Yuankou?
A hint of relief flashed in Qusang's eyes. The sleeve chain drew an arc, seemingly passing by Fuyi. But the next second, the sleeve chain spun sharply. Fuyi glanced at it, and the sword light directly blocked the opponent's attack.
The two exchanged blows amidst the rocks and forest, each move both unexpected and yet perfectly logical, causing a bead of cold sweat to appear on Fuyi's forehead.
Although Quesang used the sleeve chain as a weapon, the two were of the same race and were very familiar with each other. Quesang's attacks and Fuyi's counterattacks were all recalled in each other's memories.
"If you don't show some strength, you might really die here," Qun Sang replied calmly.
Fu Yi remained calm and composed. The other party's words were not a threat, but a fact. He was always so calm, which made people's hair stand on end and feel fear.
Just like when he returned with his severely injured body, he calmly told everyone that he had crippled Lei Wan's right hand, and that the two would have no further connection.
Fu Yi took a deep breath, and with a sudden turn of her sword, she launched a swift attack.
This sword strike was both swift and ruthless, seemingly designed to kill in one move.
But it was too direct and too easy to dodge. With a solemn expression, the sleeve chain flew out and directly entangled her longsword.
Fu Yi leaped into the air, her hand still tightly gripping the longsword that the other party had controlled. Their eyes met, and Hu Sang was only puzzled for a moment.
The next second, Fuyi actually released her sword and attacked Husang with her bare hands.
Startled by her actions, Hun Sang loosened his grip slightly, and in a flash, the sleeve chain struck Fu Yi's back.
bite!
Suddenly, a blurry figure flashed before Hunsang's eyes. The longsword that had been removed from his body had appeared before him without him noticing. Fuyi swung her sword backhand and stabbed it directly into his chest.
At that moment, the sleeve chain pierced through Fuyi's left shoulder.
Blood gushed out instantly.
The swaying body trembled slightly as he looked down at the long sword piercing his chest and laughed, "What a fine move, Rejuvenating Snow, Fuyi. Yueshan is more than capable with you."
"You are the one who surprises me. You managed to force me into this situation with Lei Wan's sleeve chain. If it were Shen Yun..."
"No." Husang coughed softly, gripping the sword and slowly pulling it out as Fuyi watched in shock. "What a pity, your fatal blow is useless against the dead."
Fu Yi retreated instantly, and not a drop of blood flowed from her chest; instead, the wound healed rapidly.
Behind him, white rat-head flowers began to spread wildly. The sullen man spoke calmly, "I know what you want to do? But you underestimate the Gu King. Believe me, you can't do it, because the time isn't right..."
The time is not right...
Fuyi only heard the last four words spoken by the worm, when the rat-head flowers around her rushed forward and instantly buried Fuyi.
Chirp chirp chirp—
It sounded like countless mice were squeaking in the woods. As a member of the Night Red Clan, her eyesight and hearing were already extremely sharp. Just as Night Red Orchid arrived at the secluded path, the surroundings were indescribably quiet.
This tranquility creates a sense of tension.
Originally, Xiao Feilian was also supposed to be chosen, but because Houxia had just died and Leqing had only recently woken up, Xiao Feilian was too young and hadn't recovered yet. Therefore, Ye Honglanzhi, despite not having lived in the clan for a long time, was still the best choice.
The Night Red lineage can be considered the nemesis of the Bow Robe lineage, but the opponent is the head of the Bow Robe clan.
Xiu Shen sat deep in the bamboo forest, where his companions were present: Lei Wan, Ming Lie, and many other members of his clan.
But in the blink of an eye, he was all alone.
My heart is pounding, but it no longer belongs to me.
A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo forest. Xiu Shen silently opened his eyes, and a cold light, unstoppable, hurtled towards him.
In the blink of an eye, Xiu Shen swung his sword, and with a loud bang, dust flew and leaves fell. He glanced at the strange figure and finally saw it clearly.
Ye Honglanzhi circled around to his back with her sword, her move so fast that he couldn't dodge it at all.
Clang!
The phantom of Xiu Shen flickered, and the sword and saber clashed again, unleashing astonishing demonic power that momentarily numbed Ye Honglanzhi's wrist.
As expected of the leader of the Bow-Clad Clan, his strength should not be underestimated.
With a thought, he realized he couldn't fight head-on, so he immediately changed his offensive, using his speed advantage to maneuver around Xiu Shen.
Xiu Shen's attack missed its mark, and when he tried to grab his opponent again, he was shocked to discover that the opponent was actually from the Ye Hong lineage.
He couldn't help but be surprised, "Besides the Angry Red Sun of yesteryear, and now the Roaring Clouds and the Brocade of the Earth, when did Night Red produce someone like you?"
He didn't even mention Yue Qing, one of the Six Palace Immortals, because in his memory, Yue Qing's strength was purely due to his disregard for his own life; that guy was a reckless madman.
However, none of the Six Palace Immortals were normal.
"That's because you're ignorant," Ye Honglanzhi replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xiu Shen laughed loudly, "Good! What an ignorant fool you are! You are qualified to be my opponent. State your name."
"Night Red Orchid".
No sooner had she finished speaking than Ye Honglanzhi suddenly thrust out a sword, a strike as unrestrained and arrogant as a shooting star.
Xiu Shen's gaze darkened, and he subconsciously took several steps back, his demonic power surging.
With a furious roar, he gathered all his demonic power and slashed down with his sword.
Boom!
Dust billowed up instantly, and a huge pit appeared in the bamboo forest. Ye Honglanzhi coughed softly, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her wrist began to tremble uncontrollably.
Xiu Shen's long hair was disheveled, and his eyes were already red. His throat had been slashed by Ye Honglanzhi's sword, but white liquid flowed out, and it healed completely in the blink of an eye.
"Little brat, you've got some skills, but that's all!"
