A Sudden Oddity
Ye Qianhan's body emitted a cold light. Her dress fluttered in the wind, revealing a pair of jade feet. They were spotless and as white as jade, giving off a breathtaking sense of beauty.
However, Lin Jingxuan and Gu Tianjiao did not dare to admire such a beautiful scene. The air was still filled with a terrifying cold Qi. Every wisp of cold Qi made them feel fear, as if they would die at any moment.
"With your strength, you would not be at a disadvantage against anyone. Unfortunately, you chose the wrong opponent." Ye Qianhan's figure flashed and stood in front of the two. Her jade hand twirled slightly, and the Cold Whip Wu Ling appeared again, releasing an icy cold Qi.
Her eyes contained a cold light as they slowly swept over the two, finally landing on Gu Tianjiao. She sneered, "Master was right. The people of the Divine Firmament Palace are all greedy people. Even the two geniuses that they painstakingly nurtured are so unbearable."
Hmm?
Hearing these words, Gu Tianjiao's dull eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. He said in a trembling voice, "Two geniuses? You, you met Gu Mang? "
"So that person is called Gu Mang. Just like his name, reckless and unbearably stupid." Ye Qianhan's face was full of disdain. Her words made Gu Tianjiao shudder and mourn in his heart.
Ye Qianhan's strength was very strong. Even if he and Lin Jingxuan joined forces, they had no chance of victory. Moreover, this woman's temperament was absolutely ruthless. She killed without hesitation.
From her words, it was very likely that Gu Mang had encountered Ye Qianhan before this. The former had even attacked her in an attempt to steal something from her.
As for the final result, Gu Tianjiao did not need to be told. He had already guessed the answer.
"No wonder I could not find Gu Mang's whereabouts after such a long time. He died long ago at the hands of Ye Qianhan!" Gu Tianjiao gnashed his teeth, anger surging from the depths of his heart.
Gu Tianjiao wasn't angry about Gu Mang's death.
What he was angry about was that Gu Mang had died too early. He hadn't been of any help to him at all. Now, he was just like Lin Jingxuan, alone without any helpers.
However, this anger didn't last long. Gu Tian Jiao felt an icy coldness attacking him. The coldness seeped into his organs and made him grimace in agony. It was as if the Grim Reaper's scythe was placed on his neck and he was about to die.
Beside him, Lin Jingxuan was the same.
Under the erosion of the cold air, his entire body collapsed to the ground, shivering uncontrollably. His right hand gripped the ancient saber tightly, but he was unable to fight back.
"It's time to hit the road." Ye Qianhan spat out a death sentence. Her whip was like the wind, and the cold Qi became a thousand times more violent. As it blew past, Lin Jingxuan and Gu Tianjiao immediately lost all consciousness.
The two of them reluctantly closed their eyes and prepared to die. However, after a while, they still didn't die. They even felt the coldness in their bodies weaken a little.
Gu Tianjiao opened his eyes in confusion and saw Ye Qianhan frowning. A scarlet jade stone had appeared in her hand at some point. It was dim, but it exuded an incomparably evil aura.
"Why is there no movement from the Heavenly Soul Control Stone?" Ye Qianhan stared at the Heavenly Soul Control Stone in his hand and felt uneasy.
The Mastery Stone was the basis of controlling Shui Liu Xiang.
Ye Qianhan could also use the Mastery Stone to control Shui Liu Xiang's location and clearly understand her situation. However, just now, the Mastery Stone suddenly stopped moving. It was extremely sudden and without any warning.
"Could something have happened to Shui Liu Xiang?"
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Ye Qianhan became. She shifted her gaze and happened to see Gu Tianjiao spying on her. However, she didn't have the heart to care about this at the moment. She put away the Mastery Stone and hurried in the direction of the Qixing Holy Hall.
In Ye Qianhan's eyes, Lin Jingxuan and Gu Tianjiao were no different from ants. There wasn't much difference whether she killed them or not. Although the two of them had precious treasures, they were still far from Shui Liu Xiang's.
Whoosh!
The cold light was fleeting. Wherever Ye Qianhan passed, frost covered the sky. Even the stars in the sky were frozen into ice sculptures. The starlight scattered, and a path of frost was laid out. It was a terrifying sight.
Only when Ye Qianhan's aura had completely disappeared did Gu Tianjiao and Lin Jingxuan finally put down the heavy stone in their hearts. They sat on the ground like dead dogs, gasping for breath.
Just now, the two of them had been very close to death.
If the Mastery Stone hadn't suddenly reacted, they would have followed in Gu Mang's footsteps and died at the hands of Ye Qianhan.
"For the past hundred years, the position of the champion of the Six Sects Tournament has always been won by the Jiuhan Temple. Their foundation is indeed astonishing to have cultivated two such monstrous women." Lin Jingxuan was still in shock. He had lost to Ye Qianhan this time. He had nothing to say and no strength to fight back.
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Tianjiao. He saw that Gu Tianjiao was looking in the direction that Ye Qianhan had left with a solemn expression. He seemed to be lost in thought.
Gu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes and said to Lin Jingxuan, "Brother Lin, don't you find it strange?"
Lin Jingxuan was taken aback but didn't say anything. He quietly waited for Gu Tianjiao to continue.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Gu Tianjiao said, "The two of us were seriously injured. Ye Qianhan could have easily killed us. As long as we died, she would have obtained more than a thousand strands of Immortal Qi and a huge amount of cultivation resources. Even the Divine Firmament Ancient Bell and the Luosheng Ancient Saber would have been hers.
"But in the end, she didn't kill us. Instead, she entered the ancient city in a hurry …"
"Gu Tianjiao, what do you mean?" Lin Jingxuan lost his patience and asked directly.
"There is only one reason for someone to give up a precious treasure. That is, there is an even more precious treasure right in front of them." Gu Tianjiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "She didn't want the Emperor weapons at her fingertips and instead entered the depths of the ancient city. This means that there is a precious treasure in the ancient city. Its value is far greater than two low-level Emperor weapons!"
After hearing Gu Tianjiao's words, Lin Jingxuan sneered and said mockingly, "So what? Do you still want to die?"
The battle just now hadn't lasted long. It could even be said to be extremely short.
But it was in this extremely short period of time that Lin Jingxuan had developed a shadow in his heart about Ye Qianhan.
Even if there were countless precious treasures in the ancient city, he wouldn't dare to fight with Ye Qianhan over them.
