She had not stated her intentions explicitly, but Qiu Lingxue had already noticed. That the Hao Sect Leader coveted Cang Wuyin, that was. No, even without being particularly perceptive, it was impossible not to realize it. ‘That he is considering Young Master Wei as the second option, and Young Master Tian as the third.’ Wei Zhenhe and Tian Wuyue were at an age where “young” was less accurate than “childlike,” yet escort warriors who had lived more than twice their lifespans were being pushed back helplessly. No matter how long those guards had lived as shadows, their skills were by no means lacking. After all, the Peak Master Level was not a realm that just anyone could reach. Yet the two were not merely pushing the escort warriors back—they were overwhelming them. ‘To have grown that much already.’ They had not been apart for very long, yet Wei Zhenhe had already reached the peak realm. Qiu Lingxue was genuinely astonished by the sight. She had always known Wei Zhenhe’s po

Cang Wuyin countered Zhao Wuheng, who was asking about the source. He thought that if it were Zhao Wuheng, he would figure it out even without being told explicitly. And he had no intention of spoon-feeding information for no reason. Since he could not do everything himself, those with ability needed to cultivate their own capabilities. “Then it must be one of two places.” “That is correct.” “Then there’s no room for doubt.” Zhao Wuheng’s expression grew grave. Just as Cang Wuyin had expected, he thought of the Hao Sect and the Shen Family Estate. Because of that, he judged the possibility of it being false information to be slim. Considering Cang Wuyin’s relationship with those two places, there was no way he would pass along false intelligence. “That’s why I wasn’t surprised.” “Indeed. If the movements of the Nine Heavens Gate are suspicious, it’s reasonable to think so. Still, the timing is remarkably coincidental. After Iron-Blood Castle, now the Nine Heavens Gate.” “

As if the Blade King’s praise had not been empty words, Cang Wuyin stepped forward after sensing his momentum.Yet surprisingly, when the middle-aged man recognized him at a glance, he showed an expression of unexpected surprise.“Isn’t this our first meeting?”“Yes, it is.”“Then how did you recognize me right away?”“The martial robes you’re wearing, for one, and the aura you’re giving off tells me enough. On top of that, your appearance is widely known throughout the Jianghu. That said, it doesn’t seem like you’ve come with good intentions.”Cang Wuyin’s gaze turned cold.From the aura the man had deliberately revealed, he could feel it.That the middle-aged man had not come looking for him with any good intentions.“Sharp instincts.”“Are you from the Shangguan Family?”“Oh ho. I’d heard you were insolent, and it seems that rumor wasn’t entirely false. To probe like this right off the bat.”“Do you really think you could hide it even if you tried?”“Kuhahaha!”When he should have

The Monster King stopped short.He was flustered by words he had never expected to hear.Perhaps because of that, the Monster King’s pupils shook violently.“About what you were supposed to receive from the Shangguan Clan.”“…How do you know about that?”“There are ways to know. If you’d looked into me, you’d know why I’m saying this, wouldn’t you?”The Monster King swallowed his dry saliva.After his name had been listed among the Ten Great Masters Under Heaven, he had lived without fearing anything in the world.But that didn’t mean he had truly lived in arrogant recklessness.In his own way, he knew where he could safely stretch his legs before doing so.That was why the Monster King immediately understood Cang Wuyin’s words.Just as Cang Wuyin had said, he had investigated things separately before coming to Shaolin Temple.“Even so, nothing changes.”Though he was being pushed back helplessly, he had not yet lost.And the Monster King knew Cang Wuyin’s weakness.Though he had reac

Ruoyue’s pupils shook.Unlike his casual tone, the content carried within was razor-sharp.There was no guarantee things would go exactly as Cang Wuyin said, but the likelihood was undeniably high.“……Even so, the fact that you’ve kept me alive means you want something, doesn’t it?”“Not at all. In fact, it’s the opposite. From the start, I didn’t want anything. I know what kind of person you are. I merely accepted it because Master asked me to give him time.”Gulp!Ruoyue felt it.That from the very moment Cang Wuyin entered the stone chamber, he had already made his decision.No matter what he said, Cang Wuyin would not reverse it.“It’s a bit regrettable. The martial art you want. That doesn’t exist in the Sangguan Family.”“W-what did you say?!”“You were scammed from the beginning. Do you really think others wouldn’t know that you’ve been searching for that martial art for over ten years?”“How do you know that?”“There’s no reason for me to explain that. Just know this much. Tha
