While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

"Boy, who are you cursing?!" The four beauties of Qingcheng changed their expressions and shouted.

Hou Renying even drew his sword directly.

But Jiang Sishui was one step ahead of him.

"Once we know who you are and who you've made an enemy of, you can go and die."

As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of sword light flew out, a sword beam three zhang long sweeping across the field.

Then, Jiang Sishui didn't even look at her before leisurely riding away.

The five of them stood there, stunned for a moment.

The moment the three-zhang sword light appeared, they knew they had misjudged him; the seemingly young boy was actually an extremely terrifying master.

This terrified them, and they were filled with deep regret.

They had assumed they were in grave danger today, but to their surprise, after the sword's edge flashed, they were all unharmed...

What's happening here?

He just made some threats and left?

Without time to think, the five people, feeling they had been given a second chance at life, immediately tried to run away.

However, as soon as they took a step, they felt a dizzying sensation as their vision shifted constantly.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, excruciating pain struck.

Only then did they realize that they had been cut in half!

"what--"

A piercing scream tore through the sky, and the five people collapsed to the ground, wailing in despair.

……

Half an hour later, a group of people arrived at the scene and their expressions changed upon seeing the corpse on the ground.

The only short man among them cried out in grief, rushing forward and shouting, "Renyan, my son!"

Looking at Yu Renyan's body, severed in two, Yu Canghai couldn't help but burst into tears. He then gritted his teeth and cried out, "Who! Who could have done such a terrible thing!"

Suddenly, Yu Canghai turned to look at the group of women behind him. Although he did not speak, his eyes were filled with suspicion.

The women exchanged frowns, and the one in the lead said, "Does Elder Yu suspect our Huangshan Sect?"

Yu Canghai did indeed suspect that it was done by people from the Huangshan Sect.

The Huangshan Sect is an all-female sect, and many of its members are exceptionally beautiful.

Yu Renyan and his four companions were known for their lustful nature. Upon arriving at this place, they were overcome with desire and began to make suggestive and extremely rude advances.

The Huangshan Sect originally intended to exterminate all five lecherous men, but because a master from the Qingcheng Sect was suspected to be hiding in the area, they hesitated to go all the way.

So they simply sent the five men down the mountain.

However, it is clear that a conflict has already arisen, and the Huangshan faction had a motive to kill.

168. When a friend comes from afar, kill someone first.

Now, Yu Canghai strongly suspects that it was the Huangshan Sect who killed his son and four disciples while he was away.

However, since this was Huangshan Sect territory, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Besides, he only had suspicions, without any concrete evidence.

Although a senior master of the Qingcheng Sect lived in seclusion in Huangshan, in fact, that master had long since left the sect.

Whether the other party still cherishes the old friendship with the Qingcheng Sect, and whether they will truly support him, is anyone's guess.

The deaths of Yu Renyan and the other four men, in particular, left Yu Canghai feeling uneasy.

These days, using that master's name to intimidate the Huangshan Sect is the best they can do. If they push him too far and he fights them to the death, then he really will be finished here.

Therefore, Yu Canghai suppressed his anger and said in a muffled voice, "I dare not! It's just that your sect just sent a disciple to summon me up the mountain, and then this incident happened. The timing was so clever; the murderer is truly cunning."

The women of the Huangshan Sect felt extremely uncomfortable hearing his sarcastic and unsettling tone.

Just then, a disciple hurried over and whispered a few words in the ear of the senior disciple, Kong Xingyi.

Kong Xingyi's expression turned serious: "Are you sure?"

The disciple nodded.

Kong Xingyi waved her hand, signaling her to leave, and then said to Yu Canghai, "Elder Yu, just now two strangers came up to Huangshan. They may know something about what happened to your son and your disciple."

Yu Canghai narrowed his eyes, half believing and half doubting: "Is that really so?"

Kong Xingyi said calmly, "Whether it's true or false, Elder Yu will know once you come with us."

Yu Canghai pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright! I'll go with you to take a look."

He paused, then said seemingly casually, "Perhaps those two didn't just arrive at Huangshan, but came last night."

Did you arrive last night?

The women of the Huangshan Sect immediately understood the implied meaning.

Last night, Qiu Duandao, the top expert of the Huangshan Sect, was murdered, and the entire Huangshan Sect is searching for the murderer.

Yu Canghai was also "invited" to investigate.

Although the Huangshan Sect was wary of that "Master Qingcheng," the death of Qiu Duandao was too heinous, and the Huangshan Sect could not swallow this insult.

So even if it means risking everything, they will get to the bottom of this.

Now that Yu Canghai's suspicion can be basically ruled out, his statement is clearly an attempt to incite hatred against the two potential murderers.

Kong Xingyi understood Yu Canghai's thoughts, and as he said, such a possibility did indeed exist.

Then, a group of people hurriedly headed up the mountain.

……

Guided by the "finding compass," Jiang Sishui changed routes multiple times in the mountains and finally arrived at a stone wall.

There was a crack in the stone wall, just wide enough for two people to walk side by side. It was pitch black inside, and no one knew what it concealed.

And this is the entrance to the place where the "Heavenly Sword" is hidden.

The unknown and darkness are often the source of fear. Jiang Sishui said to Azhu, "How about I send you back first, and I'll show you the 'Heavenly Sword' after I get my hands on it?"

Azhu took his hand and smiled gently, "Let's go together."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sishui nodded slightly and did not insist.

Given the presence of the "Sun Shadow Golden Wheel" and the "Kunji Seal," the mechanisms here shouldn't be able to do anything to them.

Feeling emboldened, the two were about to enter the crevice.

However, before his raised foot could even land, his "cicada instinct" was triggered!

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind carrying smoke blew out from the cracks in the rocks, raising a cloud of dust that enveloped the two of them.

The leaves of nearby trees fell one after another, and a strong killing intent was hidden within them, coming forcefully.

Jiang Sishui subconsciously looked up and met his gaze in the darkness!

In an instant, his heart raced, his heart rate became irregular, and hallucinations began to appear involuntarily in his mind.

However, the illusion did not actually appear, because a protective light shield expanded around Jiang Sishui's body.

His heartbeat returned to normal instantly.

Psychic attack!

No, it wasn't purely a psychological attack; it also involved other methods!

Jiang Sishui's eyes turned cold, and her long sword was instantly drawn, its three-zhang-long blade slashing fiercely into the crevice in the rock.

He channeled his inner energy into his eyes and could clearly see blood splattering within them.

Jiang Sishui moved swiftly, going in and coming out again, now holding a masked, black-robed man with a severed arm.

Jiang Sishui threw the man in black to the ground and looked at A'Zhu beside her: "Are you alright?"

"How could anything happen to me when I'm with you?" A'Zhu smiled gently.

Jiang Sishui nodded slightly, then kicked the man in black robes in the face, shattering the mask and revealing a middle-aged man's face covered in blood.

He had an ordinary, generic face with no distinctive features. At this moment, his complexion was sallow and his spirits were low, yet he still clenched his teeth tightly and did not utter a sound of pain.

It seems like a tough nut to crack.

Jiang Sishui glanced at her and said coldly, "Who are you?"

The black-robed man's face twitched from the intense pain. Just as he was about to speak, a series of chaotic footsteps approached rapidly.

Jiang Sishui frowned slightly and pressed the pressure points on the man in black robes to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss.

Then turned around.

The newcomers were all women, dressed in yellow and white striped clothes, the uniform of the Huangshan Sect.

As soon as the women arrived, they surrounded the three men.
