Han Sanhe and the youth in black, who knew that they had lost everything and their hopes were dashed, looked at each other speechlessly.
"Could it be that there are no Qilin Fish in this Thousand Feet Lake?" The youth in black looked indignant as he uttered an answer that he himself did not believe.
Han Sanhe frowned without saying a word. He was puzzled as well, but he did not want to fool himself.
"If there are no Qilin Fish in the Thousand Feet Lake, why did Ling Xiaozui come here specifically to fish?"
The youth in black mumbled to himself, "According to my master, what Ling Xiaozui needs the most is the Qilin Fish. Wherever Ling Xiaozui stops to fish, there will definitely be Qilin Fish."
"There's no doubt about this."
"Our Fish Soul Fragrance is the most precious medicine in the sect … It's much more advanced than the bait Ling Xiaozui uses and it's specially made to target the Qilin Fish … It doesn't make sense that he can fish them but we can't. It doesn't make sense …" The youth in black felt like he was about to break down.
The effect of the Fish Soul Fragrance was so potent, its rarity was naturally the same. Whether it was the ingredients or the difficulty of its production, it was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.
He had brought so much Fish Soul Fragrance out this time, thinking that he could accomplish something big in one fell swoop and harvest a large number of Qilin Fish, allowing his cultivation base to take a leap. Who would have thought that they would all be fed to the small fish …
If this were to be brought back to the sect, even if his master doted on him and would not really blame him, he would definitely become a laughingstock in the sect, an eternal joke!
"Did you know that master's precious Gugu brought the Fish Soul Fragrance out and caught a bunch of small fish …"
"Ah hahaha … I'm delighted to hear that …"
Gugu felt like she was going crazy when she thought of the scene.
"Can we be sure that Ling Xiaozui really caught the Qilin Fish in the Thousand Feet Lake?" Han Sanhe asked softly, "Could it be that … Ling Xiaozui didn't catch any as well?"
The youth in black fell silent. It was unclear whether Ling Xiaozui had caught the fish or not.
After all, no one dared to look for Ling Xiaozui to verify the matter.
"If Ling Xiaozui didn't catch any, then perhaps this Thousand Feet Lake really doesn't have such fish …" Han Sanhe said.
The youth in black lowered his head in silence.
"Let's go back." Han Sanhe sighed.
"After all, this Qilin Fish is a heavenly treasure. If it could be obtained so easily, I'm afraid … it wouldn't be that precious." Han Sanhe comforted him, "With your peerless potential of nine innately awakened chakras, you will definitely be an exceptional figure in the Tianxuan Continent in the future. Perhaps, not taking this shortcut is your good fortune instead."
The young man in black sighed and stood up unhappily, "This is the only thing we can do now."
The two of them didn't even pack up their fishing rods and just left them there. Since they couldn't catch any Kirin Fish, what was the point of keeping these fishing rods?
He stood up and sighed as he slowly walked back.
"I've already reported to the school about Bai Yixue."
The youth in black said, "My master has already sent someone out to look for this Bai Yixue. We have to demand an explanation from him."
"Gugu, Bai Yixue is no ordinary person. What about the people your master has sent? Could it be … "
Han Sanhe reminded him, "You must ensure that everything is safe. Don't let your guard down. "
The youth dressed in black, Gugu, said, "This time, my master has sent eldest senior brother. Eldest senior brother had fought with Bai Yixue back in the day, so he knows him well. I believe there won't be any accidents. Don't worry, marshal. "
The black-clothed youth paused for a moment before saying, "Marshal, I'm actually surprised by another matter!"
Han Sanhe was stunned. "What is it?"
The youth in black thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have my doubts about Old He, He Hanqing …"
Han Sanhe was stunned again and said in surprise, "What does Gugu think? Just come!"
The youth in black said, "Marshal, do you still remember the situation when you first met Bai Yixue?"
Han Sanhe was an enlightened man as well. With a quick thought, he could vaguely guess what the youth in black was referring to. "Are you saying that He Hanqing's words are not entirely true?"
"Not entirely true, I have my doubts. Marshal, please think about it. The eight guards that you've assigned to you are all top-notch. Although they aren't among the world's top experts, four of them can fight against the world's pinnacle when they join forces. Even if they can't win in the end, they can still put up a fight for a while. However, Bai Yixue doesn't care about the four of them joining forces. Perhaps, Bai Yixue can easily break through their teamwork. This is also the main reason why none of us refuted when Bai Yixue dared to say that he could kill you, marshal. Marshal, your defensive formation can be said to be top-notch no matter which country it is in. But how could Old He escape Bai Yixue's ambush? Based on the righteous man he spoke of? "The youth in black said in a low voice.
Han Sanhe thought about it for a moment and said slowly, "He Hanqing has a reputation and is highly respected in Yutang. Perhaps he really has some expert helping him!"
The youth in black said, "If that's the case, then Old He is even more remarkable. To be able to assemble a formation to fight against Bai Yixue, the capability he possesses is already terrifying! He said that he's targeting us. Our return journey is going to be a tough one! "
Han Sanhe nodded. "I understand what you mean. Tiantang City is indeed not a good place to stay. Since we didn't get the Kirin Fish this time, let's go back as soon as possible."
The youth in black replied, "Yes."
Turning to look at the calm surface of the Thousand Feet Lake, a sliver of indignation flitted across his eyes.
…
Early in the morning the next day.
Han Sanhe sent someone to deliver a letter from him to Old Marshal Qiu's residence, informing him of his departure.
Qiu Jianhan finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the letter. The plague had finally left. When he wanted to send the letter off, he was told that Han Sanhe and his entourage had already left the city gates and were at least dozens of miles away from the city.
"It's life or death if we meet again …"
Qiu Jianhan sighed and raised his goblet, toasting from afar. "Han Sanhe, have a safe journey."
…
Just as Yun Yang woke up, he saw Lao Mei and Fang Mofei standing outside the door with grim expressions.
"What is it?" Yun Yang asked as he wiped his face with a towel.
"Something big has happened. Bai Yixue is here. "
Fang Mofei said.
"Hmm?" Yun Yang nodded faintly. "I'll go take a look."
When he saw Bai Yixue, Yun Yang could not help but be shocked.
Bai Yixue had come, but he no longer looked like a human. Although he was still standing, he looked extremely disheveled. Only his eyes were glaring at Yun Yang.
His white robe that was initially spotless was now ragged, hanging on his body in strips. Blood stains covered him from head to toe; there was a bloody hole on his shoulder and dozens of bloody holes on both sides of his thighs.
Had it been someone else, he would have died long ago with such severe injuries.
"What is going on?" Yun Yang asked in shock. "Brother Bai, how could this be?"
It would have been better if Yun Yang had not spoken. Once he did, Bai Yixue's eyes reddened. "What is going on? Don't you know what is going on? "
Yun Yang grinned. "I really don't know …"
Bai Yixue's eyes were almost spitting fire. "Don't f * cking play dumb with me! Tell me clearly, what kind of person is that He Hanqing? "
Yun Yang said in surprise, "The grandmaster of Yutang's literati, the leader of a generation of scholars …"
Before he could finish, Bai Yixue had already interrupted him in exasperation, "What bullsh * t literati, what leader of scholars? You f * cking set someone up!"
Bai Yixue growled in an unusually low voice, "Even when I was fighting the Concourse of the Underworld, I wasn't as disheveled as I am now …"
Bai Yixue was truly aggrieved.
He had never seen someone set him up like this.
After leaving the Residence of He, Bai Yixue realized that he had become everyone's target! No matter where he ran to, there would be assassins waiting for him.
No matter who he met, they would attack him.
He had been ambushed more than a hundred and twenty times!
How long had it been?
What was worse was that there were more than a dozen of those who had fought with him, whose cultivation base was similar to the eight people in the residence.
There was even one whose cultivation base was obviously a notch higher than his who was searching for him.
If it were not for Bai Yixue's vigilance, he would have long been dead. Now, however, he had turned from an idler to a street rat, a target that everyone wanted to beat up!
Even when he had been hunted by First Court King Qinguang, it had not been as dangerous as it was now.
First Court King Qinguang was alone after all. Even when he was being hunted, there would always be time for him to catch his breath.
This time, however, it was like a dragnet that was endless, coming one after the other!
When he killed a fifth peak, a seventh peak appeared; when he killed a seventh peak, a ninth peak appeared; when he injured and chased the ninth peak away, a few Perfected ones appeared.
Then, more powerful ones popped up one after another.
It seemed that as long as he could continue fighting, the other party would continue to send out stronger and more powerful ones until he was killed!
Bai Yixue could no longer hold himself back from the current situation. After the latest intense battle, he had activated the Blood Soul Escape, exhausting his potential to unleash his extreme speed to find Yun Yang.
Who knew that a person's fart could hit his heel when he was down on his luck? On his way back, he had actually met First Court King Qinguang, who had disappeared for more than ten days.
After a bout of fighting, he had been severely injured and was on the brink of death. Finally, he had managed to escape with his life. He struggled his way to Yun Yang.
"I have to get to the bottom of this today!" The more Bai Yixue thought about it, the more he felt wronged. He said in grief and indignation, "What kind of tiger's den have you made me barge into?"
There was no way to play with people like this!
