551 Lady in Blue (1/2)
Mo Wen did not answer. However, Jiang Gujian did not mind either. He looked over at Yin Banshuang and said calmly, ”Yin Banshuang, it is not clear where this lad came from. He may even have other motives. If you need a companion, I believe that I am more suitable than him.”
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen raised his brows. He looked at Jiang Gujian with an odd look. What did he mean? Was he trying to create a rift between them? He looked over at Yin Banshuang and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
”Sorry, I don't actually think you are more suitable than him. Let's just go our separate ways.” Yin Banshuang looked at Jiang Gujian expressionlessly. She simply had no intention of working with him.
Moreover, it was needless to say but Mo Wen already knew the secret behind the Vital Qi. It was advantageous for her to have fewer people know about it. In other aspects, Jiang Gujian was not a suitable companion either. He was the leading disciple of Weapon Forging Sect. It was hard to say if he harbored any other motives in wanting to collaborate with her sect.
She felt that Mo Wen was most suitable because she had guessed that Mo Wen was not an ancient martial art practitioner from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Also, he did not have any relations with any powers in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
”Let's go.” Yin Banshuang looked over at Mo Wen. Then, she ignored Jiang Gujian and disappeared with a flash.
Mo Wen looked at Jiang Gujian mockingly and smiled. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared as well.
Jiang Gujian's expression was dark as he stood on the spot, looking at their backs as the two of them disappeared completely. Then, he coldly said, ”You had better hope I don't get the chance to kill you.”
”That person just now seemed to be interested in you.” Mo Wen leisurely followed Yin Banshuang. After checking that Jiang Gujian had not secretly followed them, a smile played on his lips as he looked at Yin Banshuang a little teasingly.
”I have no interest in him.” Yin Banshuang did not even turn back. From the beginning until the end, she had been cold. She seemed to not fancy this top talent of Green Ancient Mystery Dimension at all.
”I have a premonition that we will perhaps meet him again in the fifth layer,” Mo Wen smiled and said.
”If we meet again, we would probably be enemies already. With Jiang Gujian's ambition, if the Vital Qi appeared, he would definitely not let it go. However, your abilities have impressed me. Perhaps, you may not actually be any weaker than him.”
Yin Banshuang looked at Mo Wen. Initially, she had thought that he was only exceptional in his Soul power. However, she now realized that he was not as simple as she thought. She had yet to complete what she wanted to say. If Mo Wen used his Soul attack appropriately, it was possible that he could even have the ability to kill Jiang Gujian.
”You really seem to think highly of me,” Mo Wen said smilingly.
While the two of them were speeding along, there were quite a number of human ancient martial art practitioners, as well as monstrous beasts, on the fourth layer. However, neither Mo Wen or Yin Banshuang cared about them. They stayed far away even if the people encountered monstrous beasts. Meaningless clashes with the monstrous beasts were not a smart choice.
It was not difficult to find the passageway linking the fourth layer to the fifth layer. Very quickly, the two of them had found it.
”Eh, there's a bloody aura.” Mo Wen looked all around him. It was completely desolate and there was a bloody smell in the air. The passageway which headed deeper into underground had several corpses strewn about it, and they all belonged to human ancient martial art practitioners.

However, in the surrounding area, there were no traces of monstrous beasts wreaking havoc. Hence, the slaughter had clearly not been done by monstrous beasts.
”There must have been a battle between human ancient martial art practitioners here not too long ago,” Mo Wen said, looking at Yin Banshuang. It was very common to see battles happening between ancient martial art practitioners in the Beast Lair. Some were due to personal grudges. However, most of them were to fight for certain treasures, which had caused some to die in their pursuit for these treasures.
”Go on down. There are probably more of these things happening in the fifth layer.”
Yin Banshuang flew down the passageway first. In more dangerous places, one had to watch out for the humans beside them even more. In-fighting happened very commonly in the Beast Lair. Some people did not want to fight monstrous beasts for the treasures. Instead, they had their eyes on the human ancient martial art practitioners who had obtained the treasures. These types of people were very hateful, but there were also many of them around.
Yin Banshuang had just flown down the passageway. Each one was about three meters long. A scary gold-colored sword Qi flew out suddenly from within, clashing right towards Yin Banshuang.
”Humph!” Yin Banshuang let out a cold humph and lifted the Tiger Claw slightly, clashing it directly at the gold-colored sword Qi.
Then, the seemingly normal sword pushed Yin Banshuang back a whole ten of meters. The strength in that blow was shocking.
”Who is that?” Mo Wen's expression grew solemn. With a flash of his figure, he had flown into the passageway to take a look inside.
Looking 200 meters into the passageway he could only see a lady in blue sitting cross-legged, facing them directly. Her feminine face had a trace of shrewdness and sharpness. Her gaze was fierce and it looked just like sharp swords. When it swept across people, it gave them a cold metallic feel. Mo Wen's first impression of her of her was that she was a very fierce woman. Her entire being was like a sword that had been taken out of the sheath.
”Who are you and why did you attack my friend?” Mo Wen looked at the woman expressionlessly. At the same time, he extended his hand out to restrain Yin Banshuang who was all ready to battle it out with the woman. The woman was very odd and she gave him a very unsettling feeling. She seemed to be very dangerous. It was not her cultivation that was scary. Instead, there was something else she possessed that threatened him.
”Retreat now or die,” the woman said expressionlessly. Her voice was not loud and she had the gentleness of a woman. However, there was still a fierce and metallic quality about her.
