When Ye Wuzhi raised his head again, Liu Shitian had already swept Su Yuexi away and vanished without a trace.
At the same time, his demon beast mount had been stomped down by Liu Shitian and exploded into blood and flesh in midair, shattered to death on the spot.
Ye Wuzhi's eyes flew wide. He wanted to cry out, but only kept coughing up blood.
Only after quite a while could he finally make a sound, yet Liu Shitian had long since taken Su Yuexi away and disappeared. He could only frantically circulate the true qi throughout his body, rise into the air, and race madly toward Willow Leaf Holy Manor...
He had no idea what Liu Shitian intended to do, but he had to return and report this to Ye Wucan.
Ye Wuzhi ran while vomiting blood.
Though he was flying through the air, his crippled leg still caused him immense inconvenience, making him look bizarre. At the same time, he was merely at the King Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage—naturally, he was no match for Liu Shitian.
Elsewhere...
Sikong Jing naturally had no idea that the moment he left the Heavenly Tyrant Branch, Su Yuexi and Ye Wuzhi had run into trouble. Following the contents of the message he had just received, he arrived at a place in Willow Leaf City called the "Fragrance Inquiry House."
This was a brothel!
However, Sikong Jing did not enter through the front entrance. With a flash, he slipped into a small building behind the Fragrance Inquiry House.
The instant he entered, he saw that the building was filled with a grim, murderous atmosphere, creating an intensely oppressive feeling.
Yet when Sikong Jing landed, that murderous atmosphere abruptly changed, as though a sense of reverence had spread through the air.
