Most importantly, as soon as the Treasure Trove opened, they would regain their freedom!
Thus, the two of them barely hesitated, agreeing in unison.
“Alright! We’ll go with you!”
Shi Feixuan, who was nearby, paused for a moment after hearing this.
She hadn't yet figured out how to persuade the two to help.
Yet, Fahai had convinced them in just a few words, solving the problem.
It was just that…
These two youths were ordered by her Master herself to be brought back to Cihang Jingzhai.
If they went with Fahai, what should she do?
Shi Feixuan felt worried, and her expression involuntarily darkened.
Fahai noticed her distress, gently shook his head, and spoke in a calm tone.
“Do you think Cihang Jingzhai can truly monopolize Yang Gong’s Treasure Trove?”
“This Treasure Trove has already stirred up a storm in the Jianghu, and countless forces are already eyeing it greedily.”
“If Cihang Jingzhai wants to swallow it whole, will the Jianghu agree?”
“At that time, in the struggle for profit, Cihang Jingzhai will only become the target of all.”
“Such an approach will likely invite disaster rather than fortune. Instead of concealing it, it’s better to be open and let everyone compete based on their own abilities.”
“Otherwise, if several Heavenly Humans join forces, how many times can Cihang Jingzhai withstand them?”
Shi Feixuan listened and slowly nodded.
What Fahai said certainly made sense.
It seemed she could only report this matter to her Master and follow her decision.
But should she inform her Master about Fahai’s appearance in the Jianghu?
She had never hidden anything from her Master since she was young.
However, if her Master learned that Fahai was still alive, it would likely alarm Wudang and Six Doors, stirring up another pursuit.
And they had already been frantically searching for Fahai’s whereabouts across the land.
“This place is not suitable for a long stay, let’s go first.”
The few nodded, then left together.
A sudden ripple appeared in the Jianghu, and rumors quickly spread throughout the four seas about the two youths possessing the Chang Sheng Jue and becoming the “key” to opening Yang Gong’s Treasure Trove.
“I heard that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are the key to opening the Treasure Trove?”
“Exactly so. Because of this, the Heaven Mending Sect has been pursuing them, but unfortunately, they failed in the end.”
“Failed? Even the Heaven Mending Sect couldn’t get their hands on it?”
“Indeed! Even the Heaven Mending Sect’s Disciple was killed, and even Yang Xuyan was taken out!”
“What?!”
The person was so shocked he almost bit his tongue.
“Yang Xuyan is the Personal Disciple of Evil King Shi Zhixuan, a Grandmaster of the Late Stage, and he was actually killed?”
“That’s right. Some say it was Shi Feixuan’s doing because she has been secretly protecting those two youngsters.”
“How is that possible? Although Shi Feixuan is strong, she wouldn’t be able to kill Yang Xuyan!”
“Someone said that a witness saw from afar that the one who attacked was a monk.”
Upon hearing this, the person stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.
“A monk, with heaven-defying strength, dared to kill Yang Xuyan…”
Suddenly, he widened his eyes, which almost popped out of their sockets.
“Fahai?!”
“Could it really be him?!”
“Impossible!”
“Is he crazy? How dare he intervene in this Treasure Trove dispute!”
“Doesn’t he know that the entire Jianghu is searching for him now?”
“Wudang and Six Doors have been frantically searching for him. As soon as he’s discovered, he’s bound to face an overwhelming siege!”
“This time, the two major forces definitely won’t let him go!”
“Moreover, he also killed Yang Xuyan, who is under Evil King Shi Zhixuan!”
“Shi Zhixuan is the strongest expert of the Demonic Path, a Heavenly Human Realm Master. Now that his Disciple has been killed, he will likely be furious!”
“Provoking three Heavenly Humans simultaneously, is Fahai truly not afraid of death?”
The lake shimmered, and the water gently rippled.
On the shore, a middle-aged man sat fishing, dressed in a green robe, elegant and refined, like a reclusive celebrity.
Although he was advanced in years, his brows still showed the handsome demeanor of his youth, his charm undiminished.
At this moment, he seemed to be detached from the world, far from the hustle and bustle.
However, this seemingly gentle and refined man was the strongest existence in the current Demonic Sect—
“Evil King” Shi Zhixuan!
Suddenly, a figure rushed over in a hurry.
“Evil King, latest news! Yang Xuyan has been killed, and those two youngsters have also been abducted!”
Boom!
The lake surface suddenly exploded, water splashed everywhere, and layers of ripples instantly turned into surging waves!
A towering Qi of the Heavenly Human Realm swept in all directions, vast as an abyss, suffocating!
“Who?”
As the single word fell, the chill was bone-piercing.
The messenger trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down.
“The specific situation is still unclear, but it seems to be related to Cihang Jingzhai.”
“Someone saw Shi Feixuan traveling with a monk.”
“That monk is very likely Fahai, the Shaolin Master who once caused a massacre at Wudang!”
Fahai?
Shi Zhixuan’s brow slightly raised, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
It was this person?
He had heard a lot about Fahai’s deeds recently.
Single-handedly suppressing the entire Wudang!
And he was able to leave calmly, without being trapped.
Even with Shaolin’s secret support, such combat power was still astonishing.
The one who could kill Yang Xuyan, it seemed, could only be him.
“Fahai…”
He knew his Disciple all too well.
Yang Xuyan possessed a Grandmaster Late Stage cultivation, and all his skills were honed through life-and-death struggles, making him extremely formidable.
Coupled with the Undying Imprint Technique he personally taught, assisted by illusions, even a First-Rank Great Grandmaster would find it difficult to easily take him down.
Shi Feixuan couldn’t even take his life!
Therefore, the one who attacked must undoubtedly be Fahai.
“Fahai…”
Shi Zhixuan’s face turned cold, and the aura around him suddenly changed, becoming violent and sinister, making people tremble with fear!
This was the true First Devil Head that sent shivers down the spine of the Jianghu—Evil King Shi Zhixuan!
“Even if your talent is exceptional, what of it?”
“Killing my Disciple, attempting to sever my Legacy, you shall pay the price!”
Shi Zhixuan created the Undying Imprint Technique in his early years, then left his reclusive abode, leaving the Secret Manual behind.
His wife, Bi Xiuxin, studied it but then passed away.
It was rumored that she died because of this technique.
Shi Zhixuan also suffered from a mental breakdown due to accidentally harming his beloved wife, forming a dual personality, and was tormented by it for many years.
And the evil emperor relic was the key to resolving his mental illness, and he could even use it to Breakthrough his shackles!
From then on, he would be free from mental torment!
No matter what, he had to obtain that evil emperor relic!
“This Venerable One has not moved for many years, has the world forgotten me?”
“A mere Junior dares to kill someone from my Shi Zhixuan’s sect.”
On this day, the Evil King reappeared in the world, shaking heaven and earth!
The Evil King personally issued an order: the evil emperor relic was a must-have!
He even declared that Fahai must hand over Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!
The Jianghu was in an uproar!
“So it was really Fahai who killed Yang Xuyan?”
“This guy is too bold!”
“Indeed! Is he crazy! How dare he show his face at this time? He even provoked the Evil King, isn’t this just courting death?!”
At the same time, within Six Doors.
Zhuge Zhengwo put down the secret report and turned to look at his four Disciples, who were covered in bandages and had weak Qi.
His eyes were like iron, revealing a murderous intent!
“What a Fahai, not only does he not hide, but he even interferes in the Treasure Trove dispute, he’s simply asking for death!”
“Pass on my order, Six Doors will go all out to apprehend Fahai!”
“This time, Fahai won’t escape again!”
