C48 (1/2)

Everyone was a gambler. As long as there were certain conditions, everyone would give it their all. A mediocre person gambles money, while an expert gambles life and death.

The high-walled mansion was empty, not even a tree. Because of the high walls, it was impossible to tell from the outside that there was a house in the house. There were two rows of houses, each with at least twenty rooms. There were three houses right in front of Liu Yiyi. The three houses in the middle appeared to be much older than the houses in the two rows on the left and right.

Just as Liu Yiyi carried Ye Chanhan into the house, she saw a group of people standing in the empty courtyard. All of them held long swords in their hands and wore azure and violet daoist robes. Liu Yiyi's heart was wide. She could tell that these Taoists were all people from the Wudang Sect. The Wudang Sect's hierarchy was very strict. Just by looking at their attire, one could tell how important they were within the sect. The Sect Leader was wearing a purple and gold robe, the second generation disciple was wearing a navy blue robe, and the third and fourth generation disciples were wearing gray robes. The purplish-green protectors and elders of the Sect followed the Sect Leader's orders and grasped Wu Dang's military power and legal principles, as well as the alliance and occupation of the outside world. Liu Yi Yi silently counted, feeling surprised in her heart. There were thirty-two cultivators dressed in azure and violet Daoist robes in the courtyard, and all of a sudden, the Wudang Sect had so many Protectors and Elders guarding the courtyard.

One of them, a fairly young man who looked to be in his forties, hurriedly took Ye Mo Han from Liu Yi Yi's back and led him into a room on the left. The leader, a white-browed Daoist with a white beard said to Liu Yiyi, ”Lady, we will treat your friend. We have some questions to ask you. I hope you can give us some pointers.”

”The one who lured us here was Zhao Binglong. As for what his purpose is, you all just wait for my friend to wake up and ask him.” Liu Yiyi had expected them to ask how the two of them had come, and what was their purpose in coming here, so she simply pushed everything to Ye Mo Han. This would at least ensure the safety of the sheet before he was sure that the other party had no enmity.

Outside the house, a group of vultures were eating up Zhao Binglong's corpse. In the distance stood a man carrying a sword on his shoulder. His face was covered by a black cloth and his eyes were shining with a black light. It was so bright that it could almost cover up the stars in the sky.

An eagle flew out from the courtyard. The man with the sword on his shoulder suddenly unsheathed his sword. An extremely thin and long sword light shot towards the eagle like lightning. The dark sky was sliced open by this sword. The sword light went straight through the eagle's body and disappeared into the night sky. As for the eagle, it flew forward as if nothing had happened, and as it flew over the man's head, it gently descended from the sky, landing on the man's outstretched hand.

A martial arts technique that could injure people was very terrifying. A martial arts technique that could not injure people at will, wasn't that even more frightening? The masked man took the letter and left in a flash. If someone saw this, they would definitely think it was a ghost from the wilderness.

The morning breeze blew gently through the wilderness. There was no longer the smell of blood in the air. On the ground, there was a patch of soil that was dyed red with blood.

When Ye Mo woke up, he was in great spirits. Just a slight movement was enough to cause a heart-wrenching pain in his hands and body that were covered in herbs. Ye Wen Han forced himself to stand up, and thought back to what happened before he fainted. Pushing open the window, he saw an empty courtyard and a tall wall. Ye Mo Han smiled wryly as he entered the room.

”How did you come here?” The door was pushed open, and Ye Wen replied without turning his head.

A strange laughter sounded, ”Lord Ye, I am not your little sister.”

It was He Wulan.

”Why is the Sect Leader of the Heaven's Will Sect here?” Ye Chanhan was truly surprised to see her here.
