518 The Search (1/2)

Seeing Wang Donghua, Shen Yiwen's heart first was happy, and then shocked.

More than a day ago, when Wang Donghua's arm was found near the Ghost Weeping Forest, Liu Xian organized a meeting to discuss about it with everyone, and most have guessed that Wang Donghua was likely to have suffered. Within their team, he was a talented cultivator whose survival ability was second to none. The golden nucleus puppet could bless him in escaping any unfavorable situation under the sky. On the other hand, if the golden nucleus puppet did not work...

At the beginning of the search and rescue, everyone had been prepared mentally that they were likely to find only the corpse of their Junior Brother Donghua. Moreover, even if he was found alive, they would have to face an opponent with unknown strength. Thus, whether they could save their Junior Brother from the opposite party's hand was still completely unknown.

Therefore, they were particularly eager for the arrival of their Big Brother… Right now, their tracking operation was nothing more than following the trail. They had no expectation that they could find Junior Brother Donghua. But now... Wang Donghua is certainly standing before his eyes.

Was this really Junior Brother Donghua? For a while, Shen Yiwei was full on alert.

However, the next moment, he put his guard down, because he heard the familiar voice of Wang Donghua.

”Oh, at last, I finally saw my loved ones.”

The voice, the tone, were exactly the same as the familiar Wang Donghua! Shen Yiwei was pleasantly surprised and promptly asked, ”Are you okay?”

Wang Donghua shrugged his shoulder, and then grimaced. ”Senior Brother, do you think I look okay? My right arm is gone! One wife and one concubine, but only one concubine is left, do you think I'll be okay?”

Shen Yiwen simply didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. ”You, this lowly guy, still can't change your defect even after going through this matter… Oh, I almost forgot, who did this to you? How did you escape?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Donghua's face slightly changed. ”Are you asking… who did this to me?”

”Yes, where is he? How's his strength? Em, since you can escape without him knowing it, then he shouldn't be too strong, right? In short, you can rest assured, Big Brother and the others will soon be here. At that time, we'll definitely avenge you.”

”Big Brother is coming?” Wang Donghua showed a pleasant surprised look. ”That would be great! Then I don't have anything to worry... about.”

With that, his body turned limp and was about to fall down. Shen Yiwen quickly rushed to help him. However, just as they were about to come into contact, Shen Yiwen's intuition once again sent him a warning, warning him of a huge danger ahead.

”Danger? What danger? Could it be…”

Unfortunately, before he could react, an ice cold touch pierced him, and then quickly spread to every corner of his body.

Shen Yiwen incredulously looked at his Junior Brother Wang Donghua in front of him, at his cold smiling face, as well as the even colder dagger on his chest.

”Junior Brother Donghua, you… You're not Junior Brother Donghua!”

Shen Yiwen finally realized what he had just encountered. He turned his head, wanting to warn the people behind him, however, the dagger in his chest pierced through his Jade Mansion and thus he had no way to send his warning through a spell.

And when he opened his mouth, he felt that his strength rapidly slipped away at an alarming rate. His whole body seemed to melt. He couldn't even say a word. A moment later, his consciousness thoroughly perished, fell into the darkness.

”Strange, where is Junior Brother Yiwen?”

The first person to arrive was Xie Mingxian, who was also the team's tracker after Shen Yiwen. He usually followed Shen Yiwen from behind, and used his spell to protect him in secret. Once there was an external force that interfered with Shen Yiwen's tracking, he would immediately counter it… Therefore, it could be said that Xie Mingxian was the one who followed the most closely to the whereabouts of Shen Yiwen.

However, at this time, he was surprised to find that, in just a blink of an eye, Shen Yiwen actually disappeared! Although this Ghose Weeping Forest was filled with peculiarity, it was not enough to cause a Xudan Stage cultivator to suddenly go away, right?

Filled with puzzlement, Xie Mingxian was about to go deep into the forest to explore when he heard Liu Xian scream from behind him, ”Don't go!”

”But, Junior Brother Shen just…” Xie Mingxian said as he continued to move forward.

Boom!

The next moment, a sharp metallic sword fell straight in front of him, blowing up crushed rocks and dust everywhere. The aftermath sword qi was even painful for people.

Xie Mingxian was surprised. ”Senior Brother, you…”

”I'm saving you. Do you want to disappear like Junior Brother Yiwen?” Liu Xian said, shaking his head with great indignation. ”It's my fault. I shouldn't have let him pursue so tightly… I just thought that since Big Brother is coming soon, then all the problems could be solved. But I forgot that Big Brother repeatedly told that the closer we are to success, the more we can't relax our vigilance.”

Hearing this, Xie Mingxian's heart sank. ”Senior Brother, you mean Junior Brother Shen Yiwen is already…”

”Yes, moreover, this time, it happened under our nose,” Liu Xian said. His eyes had turned bloodshot, as if they were on fire.

”How… How could this possible? My spell is always around Junior Brother Yiwen. If something really happened to him, I…”

In the end, Xie Mingxian could not continue his words anymore. There was no fool who liked to deceive themselves in the golden generation. The truth of the matter was simple and clear. His spell didn't work, and Shen Yiwen was taken away under his nose.

Ah, the so-called taken away was merely a wishful thinking. Just like Wang Donghua, he could only pray that they were still alive, still living as hostages in the control of the unknown enemy.

”If I catch him… I-I'll cut him to pieces!” Xie Mingxian clenched his teeth until blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Among the disciples, he had the best relation with Shen Yiwen. The two had similar skills and could cooperate with each other. When they practice on the mountain, they were inseparable just like brothers. But now, right under his nose...

Liu Xian was similarly aggrieved and indignant, but as the team leader, he must control his own emotion.

”Mingxian, let's go back. We'll wait until Big Brother is here. Believe in Big Brother. He will definitely… definitely avenge the two Junior Brothers.”
