Qin Wushuang smacked his tongue secretly. The production costs of that Golem Puppet was too high. Both the Ancient Hibiscus Wood and the Scarlet Fire, the degree of difficulty to acquire it could not be imagined by ordinary people.
Just in terms of this boundless body of water, it let out a sense of being bogged down in crisis, not to mention the rumored Golden Crow that might be revived.
However, the Eastern Polar Region and the ruins of the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley were always labelled a place full of fortuitous opportunities within the Endless Eastern Sea. Despite layers of crisis, it could not stop martial artists from having the desire to explore them.
Due to the element of weather, Qin Wushuang and Mi Jia could not enter. They could only settle down on the outskirts. At this border place of the Eastern Polar Region, there was a place called the Rising Sun City.
This Rising Sun City was the most eastern city of the Tian Xuan Land. It was also the last city at the Eastern Polar Region. There would be no more cities pa.s.sed the Rising Sun City.
When the two arrived at the Rising Sun City, all kinds of martial artists had already filled this city that was neither too big nor too small.
Upon arriving at this Eastern Polar Region, Qin Wushuang was more calm and collected. Even if all the a.s.sa.s.sins from all major Forbidden Spiritual Zones rushed over, Qin Wushuang would still be fearless.
In any case, at this Eastern Polar Region and within this boundless body of water, no one would dare to say they could handle a butcher’s knife with ease. At this moment, Qin Wushuang was not too concerned about the rumors regarding the Golden Crow. Vividly, he rather hoped the Golden Crow truly existed.
Since that water mist did not withdraw, many martial artists were staying at the Rising Sun City. Although Qin Wushuang went with his usual low-key profile, Mi Jia’s impressive body and first-cla.s.s exceptional features and temperament were still incredibly attractive. Like a firefly in the darkness, it was difficult for them to keep a low-profile even if they wanted.
…
After He Ziniu and Shu Ya gathered with the other Supreme Dao elite warriors, Shu Ya and the others were austere upon hearing He Ziniu’s description.
Although He Ziniu truly did not want to collaborate with Shu Ya and the others to deal with Qin Wushuang, he was left without a choice. He knew that he could not handle Qin Wushuang alone.
He would only have hope to subdue Qin Wushuang by joining hands and to seize the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
As for the distribution problem after seizing the Graceful Spiritual Bow, he could only act according to the situation. Despite having little selfish intentions, He Ziniu was incapable of being decisive. He could only take one step at a time and look around before taking another.
He Ziniu was a man that would hold grudges. For Qin Wushuang’s offensive actions, it could be said that he hated him deeply to the bone. Naturally, he would not hold back and send out the information. Instantly, news traveled quickly from mouth to mouth. In a short while, the news of how Qin Wushuang headed to the Eastern Polar Region had spread almost across the entire Endless Eastern Sea.
When the a.s.sa.s.sins from each major Forbidden Spiritual Zone learned of this information, like a school of silver carp moving down a stream, all of them rushed to the eastern region.
He Ziniu also made up his mind. Even if he was not to get the Graceful Spiritual Bow, he must not let Qin Wushuang leave the Endless Eastern Sea alive!
In the nearby area of the Coiled Dragon Mansion, Lei Yue and Xin Tianwu also acquired this information through their own intelligence network.
Without hesitation Xin Tianwu shouted, “Let’s go to the Eastern Polar Region! Let’s see if that kid can fly to the air!”
Lei Yue slowly shook his head and a few traces of deep pondering light were revealed from his eyes.
“You don’t want to go?” Xin Tianwu was somewhat angered.
“I don’t not want to go, but it’s unnecessary to go! Firstly, this Coiled Dragon Mansion is at the most western place of the Endless Eastern Sea and the Eastern Polar Region is at the most eastern place. It’s also one of the most dangerous places in the Tian Xuan Land. Secondly, there is the rumor of how the Golden Crow has been revived throughout the Endless Eastern Sea. Regardless if this is true or not, we must be cautious. Thirdly, when the information about Qin Wushuang spreads out, there must be many elite warriors gathering from all Forbidden Spiritual Zones and heading to the Eastern Polar Region. By the time we get there, I am afraid they will already be scattered.”
Xin Tianwu was dazzled by the rush of hatred. Upon hearing Lei Yue’s a.n.a.lysis, she was also speechless. In the end, she must admit that Lei Yue’s words were reasonable.
The Coiled Dragon Royal Mansion and the Eastern Polar Region could be considered two extreme opposite directions that almost crossed the entire Endless Eastern Sea. If they were to rush over at full speed and not consider any foreign elements, it would still take one or two months. If there were further delays along the way, it may even take up to three months.
If it took three months, it would be too late.
“That kid is now a target for everyone, he will die for sure as his whereabouts are exposed. I am afraid that someone will surely take that Graceful Spiritual Bow.” Xin Tianwu gave a long sigh.
Lei Yue on the other hand, shook his hand. “Not exactly, that kid is very strange and we could not speculate him with common sense. Initially, when we surround the Aspiring Throne Mountain, didn’t he also escape easily? That Qin Wushuang usually possesses a method to flee for his life under such situations. He may never die!”
Odd lights flickered in Xin Tianwu’s eyes. “It’d be best if he wasn’t caught and killed. If he flees to the Coiled Dragon Mansion, we will catch him right on.”
Lei Yue let out a mischievous laugh. “It’d be best if were chased here with severe injuries! We would have the upperhand! We should just nurture our strength and bide our time.”
“Hm?” Suddenly, Xin Tianwu frowned slightly and a form of strange color shone from her eyes. Her mouth curled up with ecstasy.
“Look, someone came out from inside the royal mansion!”
Lei Yue immediately fixed his gaze to see. He saw four figures scuttling out one after the other from nearby the Coiled Dragon Palace.
The leader was a young girl with an incredibly pretty face. Following behind her, there were three young men. Although they dressed in different styles, clearly they were not disciples of the dragon clans.
“Did you see anything?” Xin Tianwu asked with a smile.
Lei Yue revealed a gloomy smile. “They are human martial artists. The strongest one is only at the Refined Void Martial Stage. The others are only at the Perfect Stage Spiritual Martial Force! They are certainly disciples of the Stargaze Palace. The Coiled Dragon Royal Mansion would not have such low-leveled disciples. And clearly, they do not carry dragon breath,” Lei Yue a.n.a.lyzed.
“Should we make our move?” Xin Tianwu asked.
“Let’s not be hasty, just observe for a moment! These four people, three men and one woman. From their appearances, they do not seem to resemble Qin Wushuang. That girl must not be Qin Wushuang’s elder sister. Besides a few family members, Qin Wushuang’s most precious people would be his teacher from the secular world, Tan Zhongchi. Apparently, these four must not be his family members.”
Lei Yue advocated to observe them for a moment.
However, Xin Tianwu said, “We have already waited here for one or two months and we are still empty-handed. Finally these few people have slipped away, if we don’t make a move, I am afraid we won’t have another chance in the future.”
Lei Yue still shook his head. “Not exactly. If they do not meet any danger when they come out this time, they will surely let down their guard. We will get more opportunities in the future. Let’s just observe and see if we can catch the big fish later on.”
Xin Tianwu gave a long sigh. “Big fish? If the big fish keep staying at home, how can we catch them?”
“If we cannot wait for the big fish, let’s catch these little fishes, only…”
While he spoke, that young man on the other side let out a straightforward laugh while he said, “Senior Sister Zhou Fu, it’s truly refres.h.i.+ng to take a walk outside after being stuffed up at the royal mansion for such a long time.”
“Hus.h.!.+” That woman who appeared clearly as Qin Wushuang’s Senior Sister Zhou Fu made a hush gesture. “Junior Brother Zhao, do you want to alarm teacher and the others?”
Of course, that Junior Brother Zhao was Zhao Muzhi. He still appeared high-spirited and with a face as clear as jade. With a gentle laugh he said, “Teacher is being too careful, who dares to behave atrociously around this Coiled Dragon Royal Mansion?”
For the other two, one belonged to Tan Zhongchi’s line of disciples, also Zhou Fu’s Junior Brother was Lù Teng. The other one was Miao Zhongxia, the line of disciple to the Fifth Palace Master.
These two were both Stargaze Palace core disciples who were told by Zhou Fu to come out to relieve their boredom. Currently, these four were all the backbone of the Stargaze Palace. Among the younger generation, they were people directly beneath Wei Yi.
Just as these four sneaked out of the Coiled Dragon Royal Mansion and were walking about, a figure scuttled out quickly from the inside and stopped before Zhou Fu and the others. The figure of this person moved at lightning speed and he also appeared to be tall and straight. Exhibiting a confident and at ease manner, this person was Senior Brother Wei Yi.
Wei Yi blocked before everyone and said, “Four Junior Brothers, without the permission of the Palace Masters, where are you guys going?”
Zhao Muzhi said with a mischievous laugh, “Senior Brother, we will just wander around this area, there is no harm. With the tiniest sign of disturbance, we will return to the defenses. Nothing will happen.”
Wei Yi showed a firm att.i.tude. “Go back.”
Zhou Fu bit her lip lightly. “Senior Brother, can you just make an exception? Are we not alright now? Let us roam for a bit, how about just for one hour?”
Wei Yi frowned lightly. “Not even fifteen minutes. Junior Brother and Sister, if you still see me as your Senior Brother, then hurry and go back inside.”
Zhou Fu mumbled, “Senior Brother, you are too rigid. It’s really stuffy when we have to stay inside the mansion all day. Let us get some distraction. It’s not a big deal.”
Wei Yi gave a slight sigh. “Junior Sister Zhou Fu, you and Junior Brother Wushuang come from the same teacher, you would not hope to drag him down, right?”
Zhou Fu asked strangely, “How could I hold Junior Brother Wushuang back?”
“Have you ever thought that someone with ulterior motives could capture us and threaten Junior Brother Wushuang to submit? What do you think he would do according to his personality?”
Stammering, Zhou Fu said, “It’s not going to happen with such coincidence. We would have been met with Junior Brother Wushuang’s enemies if we just came out!”
Wei Yi said seriously, “The world is dangerous, it’s not as though our Stargaze Palace has not suffered such losses. Everyone, hold on a little longer. Let’s wait until the Qin Clan stabilizes the situation at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. By that time, our Stargaze Palace will welcome the good days.”
Zhou Fu endorsed Qin Wushuang extremely. Upon hearing Wei Yi speaking in this way, she also nodded. “Alright, then we shall wait a bit longer.”
Wei Yi nodded. “I also hope that this will not be repeated, Junior Brothers and Sisters. If I had not seen you guys sneaking out today, I am afraid you would have already gone too far.”
Zhou Fu chuckled. “Alright, Senior Brother, I knew that teacher sent you to monitor us. I promise, there will be no next time, alright?”
Wei Yi laughed and waved his hand. “Go in!”
Just when he was speaking these words, suddenly Wei Yi’s complexion changed abruptly. In this instant, he urged all of his power and knocked Zhou Fu and the others back with a surge of violent wind. With an urgent tone, he said, “Go on!”
Pushed by this power, Zhou Fu and the others could not refrain themselves from getting knocked to the inside.
When they looked again, an elusive giant palm from ahead s.n.a.t.c.hed him and caught Wei Yi by the waist directly.
Wei Yi roared, “Hurry and go in! Do not come out!”
