Chapter 41 (2/2)

“Stop!” That voice came again.

Yun Shu had no other choice but to obey. Meanwhile, Spirit Qi circulated rapidly in his body. He was ready to escape to Stone Gate World once there was a chance.

“Come in front of me!” said that voice.

Yun Shu was extremely cautious. “No problem. But… but where are you, Senior?”

“I’m between the dragon pillars!” came the reply.

Yun Shu did as the voice ordered and went ahead. Finally, he lay his eyes on that man.

Of course, that man was the most powerful criminal in the Fire Mystic Sect ever.

His black hair hanging loose and in a mess, the man’s eyes looked as deep as an abyss, threatening to pull Yun Shu in at any second.

Yun Shu didn’t know who he was. But obviously, the fact that the man was tied to the Nine-dragon Pillar showed that he was a culprit guilty of a great crime!

The man was in no way an ordinary criminal!

Yun Shu was just asked who sent him here, which meant that the man was on his full alert and found his presence fishy.

How should Yun Shu explain himself? What would happen if that man believed that Yun Shu was up to no good?

Yun Shu’s mind ran on all cylinders to find an excuse.

At this time, that man snorted. “A hatchling at the first level of the Aqua Sky Realm… It seemed that I was overreacting. By no means would that old guy decide to send such a boy here to kill me.”

Hearing that, Yun Shu released a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to the man. “You’re absolutely right, Senior. I’m here just to hone my sword technique.”

Then, Yun Shu briefly explained how he used the killing wind to improve his understanding of the sword intent.

The middle-aged man looked a bit surprised.

“You cleaved the wind and came all the way here… Your talent isn’t half bad. Who’s your master?”

“I don’t have one, Senior. I was sent to the Valley of Crime.”

“So, now they’re even sending talents here. Those old dogs can never do a single thing right!” The middle-aged man looked quite pissed.

Yun Shu was a little stunned. It seemed slightly weird that the man would even care about him.

“Then… How should I call you, Senior? Why are you here?” asked Yun Shu with great caution.

“You don’t know me. And you don’t know why I’m here.” The middle-aged man sighed. Then he said to Yun Shu, “My surname’s Ye.”

“My name is Yun Shu. My respects, Senior Ye!” Yun Shu bowed to the man.

The middle-aged man curled his lips. “I don’t need these formalities. But I need you to do me a favor, will you?”
