Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

As Ye Wushuang watched Menn Qi’s departing figure, his eyes flickered. ’I’m so confused!’

However, since Menn Qi had promised to answer his questions before leaving, Ye Wushuang could only wait.

Next up was finding information about the Nirvana Cave Mansion.

Ye Wushuang had heard the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc mention the Nirvana Cave Mansion before. It supposedly held not only the inheritance of a Nirvana Realm Great Power, but also a Heaven-Defying Treasure like the Golden-Winged Roc True Blood!

Of course, there was one other thing: an Earth Spirit Vein!

Only an Earth Spirit Vein could replenish the Spirit Core’s energy, and the Spirit Core was essential for activating the War Fortress.

Therefore, he had to go to the Nirvana Cave Mansion, no matter what.

After a moment of thought, Ye Wushuang turned to face the assembled Nanyang Guard.

In an instant, all the Nanyang Guards dropped to one knee in unison, their gazes fixed on Ye Wushuang.

”Our thanks, Deputy Captain Ye!”

They all shouted in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

If not for Ye Wushuang’s battle against the Yin Yang Realm expert and his slaying of the Big Master of Black Wind Valley, they would have died needlessly, their bodies left to rot.

If not for Ye Wushuang stopping the Fourth Young Master Di and capturing Di Xuan, the true culprit would not have been slain, and the souls of their fallen brothers could not rest in peace.

”All of you, rise!”

Ye Wushuang shouted with a firm gaze, and only then did the men rise to their feet.

”First, tend to your wounds. Then, bury our fallen brothers.”

Ye Wushuang said calmly.

At his words, the eight teams guarding the North Camp sprang into action. The hundred or so surviving Nanyang Guards went to tend to their injuries.

Ye Wushuang then prepared to head back to the Drunken Guest Tower.

”Brother Ye!” Tan Zhengqing stepped forward. ”You’ve made a serious enemy of the Di Family today. I fear they won’t let this go. You must be careful.”

”I understand!”

Ye Wushuang nodded. This feud wasn’t just formed now; it had been established long ago on the Barbarian God Battle Platform.

With that, Ye Wushuang left the training grounds.

The moment he stepped outside, he saw Lan Xinyu and Xiaoo Yue, their faces etched with anxiety.

”Young Master!”

When she saw Ye Wushuang emerge, the anxiety on Lan Xinyu’s face vanished, replaced by delight.

”What are you two doing here?”

Ye Wushuang walked toward them.

”Young Master, we heard about what happened at Black Wind Valley not long ago. We were worried... worried about you, so we came to check,” Lan Xinyu said.

”I’m fine. Let’s go back to the Drunken Guest Tower first.” Ye Wushuang gave a faint smile, understanding their concern. He called out to them and started walking toward the tower.

Just as the three of them left, a black shadow emerged from the void, watched their departing backs, and then quickly disappeared back into the void.

By now, the sky had grown dark.

Along the way, Lan Xinyu and Xiaoo Yue told Ye Wushuang all the information they had gathered about the Nirvana Cave Mansion.

It seemed quite a few people in Nanyang City knew something about the Nirvana Cave Mansion.

As if remembering something, Lan Xinyu suddenly said to Ye Wushuang, ”Oh, right! Young Master, I also heard from some people that the Nirvana Cave Mansion is outside Nanyang City. Rumor has it that it was the former cave mansion of a Nirvana Great Power from Nanyang County, and it’s connected to an organization called the Blood Feather Tower!”

”Blood Feather Tower?”

Ye Wushuang looked at Lan Xinyu in confusion.

Lan Xinyu said, ”Rumor has it that the Blood Feather Tower is an organization of assassins. They are ruthless and cruel, operating in the shadows, and are extremely skilled in the art of assassination. Once you’ve provoked them, even a Yin Yang Realm expert could be killed.”

”And the news about the Nirvana Cave Mansion was released by the Blood Feather Tower!” Lan Xinyu added.

’This Blood Feather Tower isn’t simple, then!’ Ye Wushuang mused. ’If they’re the ones who spread the news, they must have some degree of control or knowledge about the Nirvana Cave Mansion!’

As if he had a thought, Ye Wushuang looked up and said, ”Let’s put this aside for now. You two should go get some rest.”

After saying this to Lan Xinyu and Xiaoo Yue, Ye Wushuang entered his room.

Lan Xinyu and Xiaoo Yue had no idea what was on Ye Wushuang’s mind. After a brief pause, they returned to their respective rooms as well.

Back in his room, Ye Wushuang did nothing else. He walked straight to the bed and sat cross-legged upon it. A faint smirk suddenly touched the corners of his lips as he closed his eyes.

Time passed slowly, and the night grew deeper.

Ye Wushuang seemed to have entered a deep state of Cultivation. But just then, a cold glint of light suddenly blossomed in the void, stabbing swiftly toward him.

The attack was sudden, overflowing with killing intent, and aimed straight for Ye Wushuang’s throat.

An ordinary person, even one at the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer, would have found it difficult to resist.

However, just as the cold light flashed, the corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth hooked upward again. His body suddenly fell backward onto the bed.

SWOOSH!

The cold light pierced through the spot where Ye Wushuang’s throat had just been, tearing a hole in the very fabric of space.

The sharp attack sliced through a patch of empty space. Had it pierced his throat, he had no doubt his neck would have been completely severed.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

But before he could act, a black shadow burst from the void and lunged at him again, a cold light glinting from its weapon.

”Life-Taking Sword!”

Ye Wushuang dodged to the side. At the same time, with a flash of deadly intent, a beam of Life-Taking Sword Light shot from his fingertips, fast as a flash, seeking to end a life.

The shadowy figure reacted with incredible speed. Seeing that it couldn’t kill Ye Wushuang, it seized the opportunity to disappear back into the void.

However, the Life-Taking Sword was just as fast. The instant the shadow slipped into the void, the light pierced its throat.

PFFT!

The shadowy figure tumbled out of the void and fell to the ground, dead in an instant.

Staring at the corpse on the ground, Ye Wushuang frowned. ’Could this be someone from the Di Family?’

’No, that doesn’t seem right...’

’Damn it!’

The instant Ye Wushuang’s focus landed on the corpse, another cold glint of light shot out of the void, without a hint of an aura or any warning whatsoever.

A chill shot down Ye Wushuang’s spine. He moved like a bolt of lightning, retreating toward the bed.

BOOM!

The cold light tore through space, unleashing a terrifying wave of Killing Power that annihilated a large patch of the void. The dreadful energy surged toward Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang brandished the Life-Taking Sword to defend himself.

SWOOSH!

A black shadow emerged from the void. The instant it neared Ye Wushuang’s body, it vanished again as if into thin air, its aura completely gone.

Even with his Divine Sense and Tai Chi Power, he couldn’t detect it.

This bizarre technique caused Ye Wushuang’s brow to furrow.

SWOOSH!

In a flash, the black shadow flickered into existence once more, already right next to Ye Wushuang.

A cold light flashed in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. He instantly activated Shadow Kill and vanished into the void as well.

For an instant, the black shadow was clearly stunned, thinking that Ye Wushuang was also versed in the art of assassination.

”Die!”

Suddenly, an icy voice rang out from behind the shadow, and the Life-Taking Light shot forth.

The shadow’s reaction was astonishingly fast. It responded in an instant, a glint of cold light clashing with the Life-Taking Light.

TING!

The sound of metal on metal rang out.

BOOM!

At the same time, Ye Wushuang thrust out his other hand, striking the shadow’s body with his palm.

However, in that instant, a feeling that made his blood rush surged through Ye Wushuang’s mind.

It was so potent that he failed to release the surging True Essence circulating in his Dantian.

’A woman!’

Two words suddenly surfaced in Ye Wushuang’s mind.

The shadowy figure’s body also froze. It stared down dumbly at the hand that was now resting on its body!

”You bastard!” The shadow let out a cold, feminine cry. Her eyes were filled with shame, fury, and killing intent.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang frowned as well. The voice confirmed it—his opponent was a woman.

The Life-Taking Sword Light from his other hand dissipated, but its terrifying edge still tore through the woman’s black veil.

A beautiful face was revealed from underneath.

But that face was now covered in a layer of icy frost.

”You bastard, I’ll kill you!” Seeing that Ye Wushuang’s hand was still on her, the woman became completely enraged and prepared to retreat into the void.

However, Ye Wushuang reacted just as quickly, and in one swift motion, he pushed her down.
