"Have you given up?"
This was the first time in a month that Yan Beichen spoke to Qin Pianran. It sounded cold and heartless.
However, Su Zimo knew that Yan Beichen was trying to save her.
If Yan Beichen was truly cold-blooded and heartless, there was no need for him to do anything.
All he had to do was throw Qin Pianran aside and leave her to fend for herself – Qin Pianran would definitely not be able to last long!
There was no need for him to go through so much trouble to dig out a cave abode here and wait for a month.
Qin Pianran's expression was blank as she opened her mouth slightly, as though she wanted to say something. However, her throat was already dry and she could only make hoarse sounds.
Her lips were already dry and cracked.
That slight action caused her lips to split open and flow with scarlet blood.
Qin Pianran pursed her lips and drank her blood. As though her throat had recovered a little, she murmured softly, "He doesn't know where I am. It's only normal that he hasn't returned."
Su Zimo did not believe that reason.
Even Qin Pianran herself did not believe it!
Because when she said this, there was not the slightest ripple or luster in her eyes, only a deathly stillness.
If this was a month ago, Yan Beichen would have sneered and called her a stupid woman.
However, at that moment, Yan Beichen did not laugh. He merely looked at Qin Pianran calmly. "20 days ago, I went out once and released the news that you were in my hands."
Qin Pianran's heart ached.
The last bit of hope in her heart was shattered mercilessly by Yan Beichen's words!
A month had passed and no one came.
Even though Shura released the news of her, no one came!
Right then, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard from outside the cave abode. More than ten cultivators were passing by and speeding into the distance.
Among those cultivators, the leaders were two Void Reversions, one fat and one skinny.
Among the remaining cultivators were Genying Zhenjun and Daoist Master Jin Dan.
The formation Su Zimo had set up at the entrance of the cave was quite magical. It was difficult for the cultivators outside to discover this cave, but the people inside could see the situation outside clearly.
"It's been an eventful period recently. One major event after another."
The fat Daoist in the lead sighed and said, "During the Thousand Crane Tea Party, that monster Su Zimo returned and started a massacre. Then, the various Great Dao Lords rushed to the Hundred Refinement Sect to ask for him. I didn't expect Hokkaidōjin to appear. He's an expert from five thousand years ago! "
"What happened next?" one of the cultivators asked curiously.
The skinny Daoist said, "The Daolords were rebuffed and could only retreat. In the end, he bumped into the titular disciple of the Shura Sect, Dao Lord Shura! Who is that Shura? He's a cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty demon. This battle is really tragic! "
"Why did Shura seek out Dao Monarch Immortal Sword and the others?"
"Who knows? Shura is a lunatic. No one knows what he's thinking. Perhaps he just entered the Dharma Characteristic realm and is looking for someone to test his saber. "
"I heard that Shura has some sort of relationship with Su Zimo. The reason why he killed Dao Lord Immortal Sword and the others this time round is for Su Zimo!"
The cultivators discussed excitedly.
The skinny Daoist pursed his lips and his gaze shifted. He paused and pointed not far away. "It's said that the battle broke out over there! How tragic. I heard that only two of the nine Dao Lord Immortal Sword survived! "
"Which two?"
"Dao Lord Cloud Rain and Dao Lord Immortal Sword. Both of them are titular disciples."
"That's not right. I heard a while ago that a female cultivator named Dharma Daojun from Sword Sect called Qin Pianran is alive as well and was captured by Shura."
A cultivator said in confusion.
The skinny Daoist shook his head. "Can she still be alive after being captured by Shura?"
"Hehe! I don't think so, "
The fat Daoist laughed strangely. "That female cultivator must be quite good-looking. Otherwise, why would Shura capture her and not kill her directly?"
"I heard that Shura brought that woman along to force Dao Lord Immortal Sword to appear. However, he ignored them completely," The skinny Daoist said.
"That's for sure. If it was me, I wouldn't appear either,"
The fat Daoist said, "Who would be willing to provoke that lunatic Shura for a woman?"
"Furthermore, that woman is probably already a withered flower in Shura's hands. There's even less reason for Dao Lord Immortal Sword to appear for such a woman. "
Silence filled the cave abode when they heard the voices outside.
Qin Pianran's body trembled slightly and her eyes were dark. Her sharp nails had already pierced through her palms and fresh blood was flowing but she did not realize it at all!
"Pfft!"
Qin Pianran spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, unable to hold on any longer.
She was already severely injured to begin with. For the past month, she had not slept or recuperated and her body and mind were already at their limits.
Right now, she was only hanging on by a breath of air and relying on an illusory fantasy.
However, when she heard the discussions outside the cave abode, Qin Pianran's thoughts collapsed instantly. She was disheartened and fainted on the spot in her anxiety.
Yan Beichen was expressionless but a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
The temperature in the cave abode suddenly turned cold and sinister!
Su Zimo knew that the group of cultivators outside had already triggered Yan Beichen's killing intent!
Yan Beichen stood up slowly and walked out of the cave abode.
Right then, the few cultivators outside changed the topic and discussed something else, causing Yan Beichen to stop in his tracks.
"By the way, have you guys heard? At the Thousand Crane Tea Party, Su Zimo declared war on Di Yin! A few days ago, Di Yin accepted the challenge! "
"I heard that the time is a month later and the location of the battle is the Dao Inheritance Ground! However, we haven't heard Su Zimo's reply for the past few days. "
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and his eyes lit up.
Di Yin accepted the challenge!
Initially, he was worried that if Di Yin was timid and ignored his declaration of war, he would have to go through a lot of trouble to kill Di Yin.
Now that Di Yin had accepted the challenge, that was for the best!
However, what was the Dao Inheritance Ground that the cultivators outside were talking about? It seemed to be very famous?
Su Zimo had just arrived in the Middle Continent and did not know much about the various places in the Middle Continent. He had only heard of the Dao Inheritance Ground.
At the side, Yan Beichen frowned instinctively when he heard the words' Dao Inheritance Ground '.
"Not only is Di Yin a monster incarnate, he's also a formidable character!"
"That's right, that move of his is truly perfect. By setting the location of the battle at the Dao Inheritance Ground, Su Zimo's advantage is gone!"
"Now, it's up to Su Zimo to deal with it."
"What else can he do? He can only admit defeat!"
"That's right. I heard that he has just cultivated to the perfected Nascent Soul realm and there's a major cultivation realm difference between them. If he enters the Dao Inheritance Ground, he has no chance of winning against Di Yin and will definitely die! "
"Fufu, he took the initiative to declare war. If he doesn't go when the time comes, his reputation will definitely suffer a huge blow."
"What should we do then? It's better than going to the Dao Inheritance Ground to die, right?"
The more Su Zimo listened, the more confused he became.
To the cultivators outside, this Dao Inheritance Ground seemed like a tiger's den that was filled with danger!
However, it did not seem to affect Di Yin at all.
The cultivators discussed and gradually left.
Yan Beichen glanced sideways, as though he could see the confusion in Su Zimo's heart. "I'll go out for a while. It'll be quick. I'll talk to you about this when I return. "
With that said, Yan Beichen walked out of the cave abode in a flash.
