Jian Wuhen's gaze darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Ever since you came out of Starsoul Valley, I've been keeping an eye on you. Now that you're here, do you dare not admit it?"
Zhou Yang took a deep breath, then smiled faintly. "I did meet Yuewu here, but what does that have to do with you?"
Jian Wuhen was silent, his expression extremely gloomy.
"You're right. Who you want to meet has nothing to do with me, but if I want to kill you, it has nothing to do with you."
With that, a golden longsword flew out from Jian Wuhen's back, drawing a beautiful spark as it flew through the air.
The lake water evaporated by a foot, and the surroundings were wrapped in flames.
"Jian Wuhen, what are you doing?"
Just as the two were about to collide, a beautiful figure rushed into the ring of fire and stood between them.
"Yuewu, tell me that you have nothing to do with him," Jian Wuhen said coldly.
"I … he and I …"
Tang Yuewu stammered for a long time. At this time, Zhou Yang suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Our relationship is more than just an engagement." Zhou Yang's voice was abnormally cold, holding a huge sword in his hand.
What was the purpose of cultivation … he couldn't help but think.
If cultivation couldn't even protect one's most beloved, then what was the point of cultivation?
"Yuewu, today, I'll let you understand the consequences of those who dare to have designs on you."
Jian Wuhen's eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Zhou Yang!
"Where's Liu Xing, quickly follow me to Heavenly Sword Peak!"
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from the sky, and an old man flew over from afar.
"Elder Lian!" Jian Wuhen frowned.
Heavenly Sword Peak's sword-bearing elder, Lian!
"Liu Xing, quickly follow me to Heavenly Sword Peak."
Without further ado, Elder Lian waved his hand and swept Zhou Yang towards Heavenly Sword Peak. Tang Yuewu turned pale with fright, and immediately chased after Jian Wuhen.
Heavenly Sword Peak, Conference Hall.
Zhou Yang looked at the people who were sitting around and saw that Elder Lie was actually sitting in the eighth seat below.
"You're Liu Xing."
On the main seat, a middle-aged man in a green robe looked at Zhou Yang.
"Yes, Sect Master." Zhou Yang cupped his hands. Although the person in front of him looked like a middle-aged man, he knew that this person was Spiritual Master Qing Yun who had lived for hundreds of years.
Qingyun nodded and said, "You've seen fiends in Headwind Valley before, right?"
"It's true, but many people saw it too."
"But you're the only one who managed to survive the bloody light," the old man sitting on the right side berated.
"Peak Master Yu, you're mistaken. According to my knowledge, besides Liu Xing, the Moonradiance Peak's Xia Bingxin has survived as well." This time, the one who spoke was the second person on the left. Judging from his tall stature, Zhou Yang guessed that he should be the Heavy Sword Peak Lord.
"Peak Leader Yan, I've already asked Xia Bingxin. She was unconscious at the time and doesn't know what happened. This means that only Liu Xing knows what happened."
A beautiful woman beside Peak Lord Yu opened her eyes and then closed them again.
"In other words, Liu Xing was the only one who knew what happened. Tell me, how did you survive the bloody light? From what I know, the power of the bloody light is not something you can resist." Peak Leader Yu said coldly.
"Are you suspecting me of colluding with demons?" Zhou Yang laughed.
"Impudent!"
At this moment, a Sword-Bearing Elder stood up and shouted angrily.
"How am I impudent? Can't I explain myself if you suspect me?" Zhou Yang glanced at the Sword-Bearing Elder.
"It seems that there's indeed something wrong with you. When did I say that you colluded with demons?" Peak Leader Yu sneered.
"Alright, Peak Leader Yu, we brought Liu Xing here so that he can tell us what happened so that we can understand these fiends better."
An old man beside the Heavy Sword Peak Lord spoke as he stood up and walked towards Zhou Yang.
"Liu Xing, I'm the Peak Leader of the Glorious Sun Peak, Yin Xuan. Don't be nervous. We don't suspect you of colluding with demons. We just hope that you can tell us what happened in detail." Yin Xuan smiled. Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Actually, there's nothing much to say. I don't know why the black cat let us go. Maybe I'm insignificant to it, so it let me go …"
"Ridiculous, they won't even let ordinary people go. Why would they let you go …"
"I think their objective is to drive me out of Upwind Gorge. As for killing ordinary people, it's probably for the sake of allowing the blood cloud to grow …."
Everyone fell silent. After a long time, Qing Yun said, "Liu Xing, the blood cloud you mentioned, is it a blood cloud controlled by a child?"
"A child …."
Zhou Yang frowned, and he pondered deeply for a short while before he shook his head, "The blood cloud I saw was controlled by the black cat. He asked me to play a game with him …."
After that, Zhou Yang casually made up an excuse to cover up the process of rescuing Xia Bingxin.
"Ridiculous, too ridiculous! He let you go just because he played a game with you? Then why did he slaughter and disturb my Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect?" Peak Leader Yu shouted furiously.
"I think he wanted to play a game with all of you," said Zhou Yang with a smile.
"Liu Xing, what's with your attitude?" Peak Leader Yu stood up.
"I think that Liu Xing might be right."
Meanwhile, the Peak Leader of Moonradiance Peak stood up as well and said, "All of you should remember what my Moonradiance Peak's disciple, Zhou Xianxian, told us after she returned from the Blackscale Cave. That child is the Fiend Lord of the Blackscale Cave, and all the other Fiends are his subordinates, including the black cat …."
"Peak Leader Yue is right. What Zhou Xianxian told us is very similar to what Liu Xing described. They're both playing a game. However, I think there's definitely a reason behind this game. Just as Liu Xing guessed, they should be using Upwind Gorge as their base camp, and they're using the blood cloud to absorb the blood energy of the dead …." Yin Xuan pondered deeply.
"Liu Xing, let me ask you. What's your true identity?" Qing Yun looked at Zhou Yang with a trace of a smile on his face.
"My identity is Liu Xing." Zhou Yang smiled. He felt as if he was being seen through when facing Qing Yun who always wore a smile on his face.
His strength is truly unfathomable.
Qing Yun didn't continue to ask. He just smiled and swept his gaze across the crowd, saying, "No matter what game this Fiend wants to play with us, strength speaks louder than words. Junior Brothers and Elders, prepare for battle."
Everyone nodded. At this time, the Peak Leader of Heavy Sword Peak looked at Elder Lie. Elder Lie hurriedly stood up and pulled Zhou Yang out.
When they reached the entrance, Zhou Yang saw Tang Yuewu standing in the distance. Jian Wuhen was also there.
"I'm just here to watch the show. Now that it's over, I'm going back," Tang Yuewu said as she left Jian Wuhen behind and hurriedly left alone.
Jian Wuhen's expression was extremely ugly. He glanced at Elder Lie before slowly retreating. "Liu Xing, how was your harvest in Starsoul Valley?"
Elder Lie asked on the way.
"Not bad." Zhou Yang nodded with a smile.
"It seems that you've gained a lot. In that case, I'll reserve a place for you in the Heavy Sword Peak's Grand Competition. I hope you'll perform well."
"Grand Competition of Heavy Sword Peak?"
