Sisters Reunited, a Killing Trap Closes In
The one-eyed man's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
[Earth Immortal?]
[Moreover, this sword energy... is Sharpness; it's probably not from an ordinary Earth Immortal!]
"This is a tough problem, let's retreat!"
As a seasoned veteran, he knew the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Without any hesitation, he led the remaining men into the jungle and disappeared.
"Waaah... Sister Qing'er, I'm so scared..."
With the crisis averted, Hong Ling threw herself into Shi Qing and wept uncontrollably.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Shi Qing gently stroked her back, his eyes filled with the joy of reunion and lingering fear. "Silly girl, why did you run up here? It's so dangerous here!"
The two found a secluded cave to stay in temporarily.
After a long separation, they naturally have endless things to talk about.
However, when the topic turned to the Dongfang Yueming, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Sister, do you have any news about your little brother?" Hong Ling asked hopefully.
Upon hearing this, Shi Qing's expression darkened.
"I... I've already inquired."
She bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly, "There are rumors from Wuhe Immortal City..."
"It is said... that madman who wreaked havoc in the Immortal City... failed to escape when the True Immortal's cave collapsed..."
"Some people say he offended too many people and has already... been surrounded and killed in the wilderness..."
"What?!"
Hong Ling was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale. "No! Impossible! How could someone as powerful as him die?!"
"I don't believe it either." Shi Qing took a deep breath, a determined glint in his eyes. "He's... someone who can defy fate!"
"Let's go to Wuhe Immortal City first! We must find out the truth!"
However.
Unbeknownst to them, a deadly plot against them had already quietly begun.
Wuhe Immortal City, on a necessary road.
The Sun Family family manager, accompanied by dozens of elite fighters, stood respectfully behind a young man dressed in brocade robes with a delicate, effeminate appearance.
This young man, named Li Tianyi, is the only son of the newly appointed city lord of Wuhe Immortal City!
Early Earth Immortal cultivation!
Since Wang Batian's death and the rise of a new city lord, the Li Family has become the new ruler of Wuhe Immortal City!
"Shopkeeper Sun, are you sure that woman is really as stunning as you say?" Li Tianyi asked casually, fanning himself with his folding fan.
"Rest assured, my lord! I guarantee it with my own head!"
Shopkeeper Sun said with a fawning expression, "That woman in white is simply a fairy descended from heaven, her temperament is otherworldly!"
"And..."
A malicious glint flashed in his eyes.
"That woman in white has a close relationship with that ruthless demon, Dongfang Yueming! If we capture her, perhaps... we can force her to reveal the treasure that demon left behind!"
"Dongfang Yueming?"
Upon hearing the name, a flicker of apprehension crossed Li Tianyi, but it quickly transformed into greed.
"Hmph! Just a dead man!"
"If there truly is a treasure... then this young master will not hold back!"
Just then!
"They're here!"
In the distance, two streaks of light, one large and one small, were rapidly approaching!
"Do it!"
Li Tianyi folding fan shut and let out a cold shout!
"Boom--!"
Dozens of array flags rose instantly, transforming into a trapping array that completely sealed off an area of ten miles in radius!
Shi Qing and Hong Ling paused, forced to stop.
"Who goes there?!" Shi Qing drew his sword, his expression grave.
"Hahaha! You two beauties, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Tianyi slowly walked out, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over the two women, his eyes filled with amazement and lewdness.
"Tsk tsk, truly top-notch!"
"Shopkeeper Sun, you've done a great job this time!"
Shopkeeper Sun emerged from behind, pointed at Shi Qing, and sneered, "You little wench! Do you remember me?!"
"It's you?!" Shi Qing recognized the person who had spied on him in the shop before, and his heart sank.
"Young Master!" Shopkeeper Sun pointed at Shi Qing and shouted, "It's her! She's that demon Dongfang Yueming's woman! That demon stole so many of our treasures; they must all be hidden on her!"
"Oh?"
Li Tianyi stepped forward, and his imposing aura erupted!
"Hand over the treasure! Then... obediently come back to my manor as my concubine!"
"Otherwise..."
He sneered, "I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead!"
"Dream!"
Shi Qing's pretty face was icy cold, her long sword humming in her hand, "If you want to capture us, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
"Hmph! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
Li Tianyi's face darkened. "A mere Earth Immortal dares to be so insolent before me?!"
"Take him down! Just leave him alive!"
"Yes!"
A pack of fierce guards, grinning maliciously, pounced on them!
Desperate situation!
A truly desperate situation!
Faced with the siege of dozens of Earth Immortal and Human Immortal, Shi Qing, who was only at the Early Earth Immortal, and Hong Ling, who was at the Human Immortal Realm, had absolutely no chance of winning!
"Sister..." Hong Ling gripped the giant hammer tightly, her small hands trembling slightly.
"Ling'er, don't be afraid."
A resolute glint flashed in Shi Qing's eyes.
[Dongfang... It seems I won't be able to wait for you any longer...]
She was preparing to burn her life essence and fight to the death!
Just as Li Tianyi reached out his devilish claws and was about to touch Shi Qing's stunningly beautiful face!
"Sizzle--!!!"
A piercing sound, like cloth being torn apart, suddenly exploded in the Xukong above everyone's heads without warning!
Immediately afterwards!
That seemingly indestructible spatial barrier was actually forcibly broken by an invisible hand...
... a huge rift was torn open!
