The people from Dongxuan Sect searched for the cloud beast in the vicinity, but naturally returned empty-handed.
The saddest person was not them, but Shen Xinghai.
Deeply shocked, Shen Xinghai no longer had any love for the world. As he soaked in the pool, his usual hearty smile was gone, and all that was left was doubts about the world.
He looked at the fat belly of the little fire dragon, his eyes full of reluctance. If this dragon was not Wen Yun's pet, Shen Xinghai would have gone up to be a dragon slayer long ago.
Finally, Wen Yun noticed the sadness on his face and leaned over to ask, "Brother Shen, now that there are no dark clouds hanging over your head and bringing rain, why are you not in a good mood?"
We finally got rid of the vengeful cloud beast. Isn't this something worth celebrating
Shen Xinghai still looked sad. Wen Yun then remembered that he seemed to be unaware of the inside story, so he had to explain to him the true origin of these clouds with a smile and tears.
Unexpectedly, after knowing the inside story, the despair on Shen Xinghai's face became even more obvious. He sighed at the pool of water in a trance and stopped talking. He just rolled up his sleeves and moved bricks to vent his sadness.
Su Yuan Zhenren was very happy: "I have long wanted to ask Shen to help me move bricks, but wherever he went it rained and I was afraid that the foundation would collapse. Now it can finally be used."
With Shen Xinghai turning his grief and anger into strength, the efficiency of the city-building team on Yun Island increased a bit.
Just a few days later, the Dongxuan Sect disciple who was thought to never come again actually returned here.
What was even more unexpected was that they actually found a professional hunter who tracked down the cloud beast!
Of course, the trapper was not hired for free. The cost of gathering information and hiring people was already a huge amount of money. Yizhimei and Miyan were still feeling the pain in their hearts.
"Yes, these are indeed the marks left by the cloud beast."
The beast hunter lay on Yi Yu's island, touching the potholes on the edge of the cloud island, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter: "I haven't found any traces of cloud beasts for many years. I never thought they would appear in places where people gather. It's really strange!"
Yi Zimei felt uncomfortable when he thought about the source crystals he had spent, and said in a bad tone: "Since they are here, then you should find them for me."
"Why panic? Cloud beasts are the best at hiding. If you don't know the tricks, even if they float next to you, you will just think they are ordinary clouds." The beast hunter stood up and patted the mud on his body, looking around: "The traces left by these cloud beasts are very fresh. I think they are very likely nearby."
The trapper skillfully reached out his hand and grabbed the mist around him. His nostrils twitched as he sniffed the remaining scent in his hand.
"Sure enough, their scent is still in the air."
After saying this, he waved to the two people from Dongxuan Sect and led them to search for traces of cloud beasts on the surrounding cloud islands.
The nearby cloud islands are very close to Yunhai City and are quite densely populated. Normally, everyone stays quietly on their respective cloud islands and does not disturb each other. But today, these people from Dongxuan faction came up and searched in a careless manner, which immediately made everyone feel uncomfortable.
However, due to the powerful Dongxuan Sect, these ordinary cultivators occupying the small cloud islands could not say anything and could only endure it silently. This made them come and go more freely as they pleased, and they almost treated these cloud islands as their own territories.
The search led them to Yun Island, where Wen Yun was.
When Mi Yan and Yi Zi Mei passed by Yun Island where Wen Yun and his friends were, they just glanced over here casually.
After seeing the messy pile of bricks, stones and wood on the island and the two Jindan stage bricklayers covered in dirt, he frowned repeatedly and felt that this place was very shabby. He was even too lazy to talk to the two men.
However, the beast trapper's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "The cloud beast here has the strongest flavor!"
As he spoke, he quickly followed the smell to a puddle below, and scooped up a pool of clear water to his mouth. After carefully tasting the flavor, he exclaimed: "This is cloud saliva! The cloud beast really lived here for a long time!"
To put it simply, cloud saliva is actually the saliva of cloud beasts.
However, the trapper did not despise him at all. He dived down and when he came out, his face was filled with ecstasy: "I was right! This is the treasure!"
What he held in his hand was a thumb-sized misty white crystal.
"What is this?" Yizhimei was puzzled.
"This is Cloud Crystal. Cloud beasts excrete this treasure after they devour Cloud Soil. This thing has a light and ethereal aura, and can also increase the effect of concealing aura. It is an excellent material for refining magic tools or weapons. However, Cloud Crystal is rare. A Cloud Beast will only excrete one Cloud Crystal per year. Many families capture Cloud Beasts not to use them as mounts, but to raise them to obtain Cloud Crystal."
The beastman's voice was shaking with excitement, but after fishing for a long time, he still didn't get the second piece of cloud crystal. He could only sigh in disappointment: "Unfortunately, this piece is too small and can't be used to refine anything."
Having said that, he still treasured this tiny piece of cloud crystal. Although it was only the size of a thumb, it could be inlaid on some magic weapon. If the technique was right, the magic weapon could be sold for tens of thousands more.
Although the two people from the Dongxuan Sect were also interested in the cloud crystal, they only wanted the cloud beast now, so they urged impatiently: "Since there is a cloud beast here, then you should find it quickly."
After he finished speaking, he drew his sword and kicked away the wood that was blocking his way. It was obvious that he was planning to search for traces of the cloud beast on Cloud Island.
Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai, who had been ignored on the side, were furious when they saw this. These two people were so domineering. Not only did they enter the island without permission, but now they were actually causing trouble
Although they realized that the cultivation of these two people was far superior to theirs, they still retained the backbone of sword cultivators. They immediately dropped the bricks and wood blocks and drew their swords to fight back.
"Don't go too far!"
"Too much?" He looked at Yizhimei with narrowed eyes, and said in a strange tone: "Do you know where we come from? Two little guys in the Jindan stage actually dared to draw their swords in front of us?"
There was even a hint of surprise in their tone; they had never expected that the two bricklayers were so brave.
Dongxuan Sect is a well-known top-notch sword-cultivating sect in the myriad worlds. The most powerful sword cultivators in the world all come from there. Even the outer disciples are top-notch sword cultivators. Where did these two people get the courage to draw their swords in front of the direct disciples of Dongxuan Sect
Zhu Erchong soon proved that he was even braver than they thought. He didn't care where the two men came from. He just made a sound of "Pooh" and cursed: "Who are you calling small? I think you are small!"
Facts have proved that when it comes to the ability to attract hatred, if Zhu Erchong says he ranks second, then no one would dare to claim to be first.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a strong murderous intent surrounded him and Shen Xinghai.
After all, these two people from the Dongxuan Realm came out with Shang Wuyang. Although their cultivation is not as terrifying as Shang Wuyang's, they are also masters of the Ascension Realm.
How could the pressure of the Ascension Realm be endured by the Golden Core Stage? Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai's faces turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat rolled down their foreheads.
However, at this moment, a young girl came flying on the clouds from the distant mountains. She lightly tapped the strange staff in her hand and instantly summoned an invisible barrier to block the two pressures. The pressure on Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai was immediately relieved.
She glanced down coldly and said, "You came to Yun Island uninvited, searched my island without permission, and now you want to kill my people?"
He squinted his eyes and stared at it, feeling that the face looked familiar. However, he couldn't remember it after thinking about it. That day, he only saw Ye Shubai's profile but couldn't see the face of the girl who was carefully protected beside him.
However, he could see that the girl was very powerful, so he did not ignore her like he did to Zhu Erchong. Instead, he smiled and raised his sword, bowing lazily.
"Are you the island master of this Yun Island? We are disciples of the Dongxuan Sect. We have important matters to attend to this time. I hope my little sister will give us a favor. We in the Dongxuan Sect will definitely remember your kindness."
He said he was doing a favor, but in his words he was using the name of Dongxuan Sect to force Wen Yun to agree. There was no intention of asking at all. I think he "requested" in the same way in the previous Yun Islands.
This is extremely ridiculous. Do you really think that you can rule the world with just the title of a disciple of Dongxuan Sect
Wen Yun glanced at the three people with a cold face, and then replied nonchalantly: "Oh, sorry, my island is not convenient, goodbye."
"What do you mean!"
This was the first time that the disciples of Dongxuan School were rejected. Their faces changed drastically immediately. They put their hands on their swords and stared at Wen Yun dangerously, and it seemed that they were about to start fighting.
The beast trapper was shocked when he saw this, his cultivation was not yet at the level of ascending, and if a fight really broke out, he would definitely be the one implicated.
He quickly advised the two people from Dongxuan Sect, "You two fellow Taoists, there is no need to search this Cloud Island. I just sniffed carefully and found that the scent of the Cloud Beasts left on the Cloud Island is from several days ago. I think they just stayed on the island for a while before and are not on the island now."
Hearing this answer, the two people from Dongxuan Sect frowned and looked at the environment of Yun Island gloomily.
After a moment, Yi Zimei suddenly pointed at the fat tail behind Wen Yun and asked, "What kind of monster is that? Could it be the cloud beast?!"
Charmander poked its head out and rolled its eyes.
The hunter was shocked. After seeing clearly what the monster was, he couldn't help but curse in his heart that the two people from the Dongxuan Realm were such ignorant dogs who couldn't even recognize a pig.
But he didn't dare to laugh, and could only resist the urge to curse and explain: "This is just a spirit pet pig. The cloud beast is born elegant and beautiful, how can such a pig compare to it?"
Yi Zimei was slightly embarrassed, but was afraid that staying here any longer would make him look even more ignorant, so he could only pretend to be indifferent and waved his hand: "Since it's not a cloud beast, let's search on the next island."
As he turned and left, he couldn't help but sneer: "How could a good girl raise such a fat pig?"
Charmander was furious.
What is a fat pig? I can crush it to death with one foot, you know?!
The little fire dragon wanted to curse after hearing this, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a soft thing floating up from his stomach. He quickly covered his mouth with his dragon claws and swallowed back the cloud beast that was about to float out. His movements were much more skillful than the first time.
After the group of people flew away so far that even their shadows could not be seen, Wen Yun carefully looked at them with his soul, and made sure that they had no intention of coming back, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly walked towards Shen Xinghai and Zhu Erchong, and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Zhu, are you okay?"
Just now, she, Master Su Yuan, and Ye Shubai were not on Yun Island. They hurried back after noticing something unusual here.
Zhu Erchong waved his hand nonchalantly and laughed, "It's okay. We didn't expect to run into these guys when we came out to move bricks. Junior Sister Wen, you came in time. I'm fine."
Wen Yun looked at Shen Xinghai again, and found that he, who had been distraught before, now seemed to have come back to his senses, with an unconcealable smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Brother Shen, what good news has happened to you?"
"It's really a great blessing." Shen Xinghai nodded with a smile: "There's a saying in ancient times that you can't see a rainbow without going through wind and rain. I was drenched in rain for so long before, and now I finally see a rainbow!"
Wen Yun: "Rainbow?"
She looked up and saw that there was no rainbow in the sky.
Shen Xinghai quickly explained, "My beloved sword was destroyed by the cloud beasts before. Now I know that the reason they followed me all the time was because they felt guilty and sent me cloud crystals."
He quickly told Wen Yun everything the trapper had said about Yun Jing, but she was completely confused.
No, Brother Shen, the cloud beasts are such vengeful and stingy creatures, how did you infer that they feel guilty
However, Shen Xinghai is an optimist.
He brushed off the dirt on his body, looked at the little dragon with burning eyes, rolled up his sleeves, bowed to it and said, "Brother Dragon."
In the past it was called Spirit Pig, but now it is called something so nice, it must be nothing good!
Charmander immediately became alert: "What's going on?"
"Can you spit out a cloud beast? I want to communicate with them."
After saying this, Shen Xinghai sensibly presented a piece of delicious cake.
The little fire dragon was drooling at what he saw, but he still didn't agree. Instead, he looked at Wen Yun first.
The latter nodded helplessly: "Release a cloud beast."
She felt that it was necessary to make Shen Xinghai give up on this "opportunity" of the cloud beast. This thing was really not the same thing as his ring!
After Wen Yun's approval, the little fire dragon rubbed his belly and opened his mouth wide.
A misty white, soft cloud beast slowly floated out from the mouth of the little fire dragon. At first, it looked like just an ordinary cloud, but gradually it condensed into four small claws and a head, and then it shook its butt and grew a short round tail.
It was the little cloud beast from before!
As soon as it floated out, it sprayed a stream of water at Shen Xinghai.
Shen Xinghai was not annoyed at all. He casually wiped his wet face with his hand and looked at the cloud beast with a smile on his face.
"There were so many misunderstandings before. It turns out that you have been following me all this time because you want to give me Yunjing, such a great opportunity. Although Yunjing has been taken away by someone, how can material possessions be more important than companions?"
The little cloud beast's bean-sized black eyes gradually widened, and it seemed that it didn't understand what Shen Xinghai was saying.
Shen Xinghai was full of pride and arrogance in his words: "Would you like to be my mount, follow me to crush all the injustices in this world, to eliminate all the injustices in this world, and to roam freely in this world!"
Zhu Erchong beside him was shocked and exclaimed: "As expected of Junior Brother Shen, how did he come up with such a cool word!"
Wen Yun: “…”
She thought that according to the stories she had read before, the little cloud beast should now offer up its own soul and serve Shen Xinghai as its master.
But according to past experience, I’m afraid Senior Brother Shen’s handsomeness won’t last for more than three moments
However, unexpectedly, the little cloud beast actually flew slowly towards the hand that Shen Xinghai stretched out. Even more bizarre was that it did not spray water or bite anyone this time, but bleated softly, and then raised its tail -
A fist-sized misty white crystal rolled into Shen Xinghai's palm!
The size of this cloud crystal is much larger than the previous one. If the previous one could only be used to inlay magic weapons, then this one is enough to forge new magic weapons. However, if one wants to forge a sword, the quantity is still far from enough.
Just as he was thinking this, the little cloud beast bleated twice at the little fire dragon's belly, and the little fire dragon's stomach moved. He couldn't help but burped several times in succession, and a series of cloud beasts ran out.
They didn't flee or run around. Instead, they each lifted their tails and tried hard to expel the cloud crystals. After a while, a small pile of translucent mist-white cloud crystals appeared in front of Wen Yun and his companions. Some were big, some were small, and they were piled there like a beautiful little tower. It seemed that this group of cloud beasts had taken out all the cloud crystals they had accumulated this year!
Wen Yun was confused.
No way? The common plot of a pet recognizing its master and offering treasures really happened!
Is Shen Xinghai really the male protagonist? Is she really living in some story? !
The whole audience was shocked, even the little fire dragon was dumbfounded. Shen Xinghai was also very excited. He bowed to the little cloud beast and thanked him earnestly: "Thank you for the gift, fellow cloud beast. The cloud crystal is precious, and I am unworthy of it..."
However, the little cloud beast just looked at him suspiciously and didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Xinghai at all. Instead, it opened its mouth, grabbed Wen Yun's sleeve and dragged her to the cloud crystal pile.
Wen Yun was taken to the cloud crystal pile and then realized what was happening. He asked blankly, "Is this for me?"
The little cloud beast used its little paws to pick up Yun Jing and piled her on top of her, then shook its tail in acknowledgement.
Shen Xinghai was stunned. He held the cloud crystal that the little cloud beast had just given him and hesitated: "Fellow Daoist Cloud Beast, could this be..."
Isn't it for me
The little cloud beast raised its head and looked at him, then slowly flew towards Shen Xinghai's hand. This made him feel warm in his heart and gave him some hope.
But the next moment, the little cloud beast snatched the cloud crystal from Shen Xinghai's palm with its front paw, turned around and presented it to Wen Yun in a flattering manner.
This action was very smooth and straightforward, and it is a typical example of a heartless scumbag. As expected, hope is meant to be broken.
Wen Yun didn't dare to answer it, but turned his head and looked at Shen Xinghai worriedly: "Brother Shen, are you okay?"
"Ah? I'm fine." Shen Xinghai lowered his head, touched the ring on his hand silently, and sighed, "I'm fine."
It turns out they are all fake.
The old senior in the ring said that he was the son of destiny, and that he would travel across the world and look down on the world in this life. He also said that every time he met a beautiful female cultivator, she would fall in love with him, that he would be able to turn danger into safety, and that every time he met a spiritual beast, it would surrender to him.
Shen Xinghai had never quite believed it, and facts had been proving one after another that the old senior was talking nonsense. Coincidentally, now even the last one had been proven to be false.
He turned around and walked up the mountain, stepping through the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His back looked desolate and sad.
If you look carefully, you can even hear the poor swordsman's low sighs.
Fortunately, there are only a few people on Cloud Island, and everyone knows each other well, so even if they are embarrassed, it won't be far away. Otherwise, Shen Xinghai would probably be angered by the cloud beast and vomit blood to death.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the group of cloud beasts seemed to have finally calmed down and stopped chasing him to bring rain. Now he could finally feel the long-lost warmth of the sun.
Even so, he still chose to return to his half-collapsed courtyard and stay in seclusion.
Wen Yun and Zhu Erchong went to look for him twice, but he didn't come out.
At this moment, Wen Yun stared at the pile of cloud crystals on the table boredly and fell into deep thought for a while.
Ye Shubai put away his sword and walked over here. He poured two cups of tea gracefully and handed one over: "What are you thinking about?"
Wen Yun took a sip and pushed the cup away with a frown. Ye Shubai didn't know when he developed this old man's hobby of drinking such bitter tea.
She looked up at Ye Shubai and said carefully, "I want to give the cloud crystal to Senior Brother Shen. His sword was damaged by the cloud beast, and he was the one who attracted the cloud beast. Besides, he has suffered a lot because of the cloud beast recently..."
"Then just send it over." Ye Shubai raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled: "Why do you have to explain so much to me?"
Wen Yun has always been a decisive person, and since the cloud beasts have already given the cloud beast to her, she can make the decision on her own. It's fine if she wants to give it to Shen Xinghai, so why does it seem like she is asking for his consent
Wen Yun said a little embarrassedly: "Because to be honest, you and Senior Brother Shen both have no use for the sword, but I gave the cloud crystal to him to forge the sword instead of giving it to you. I was worried that you would think I was biased towards him."
Ye Shubai was slightly stunned. He finally realized what Wen Yun was thinking. It turned out that she was considering his feelings.
From childhood to adulthood, Ye Shubai was the well-behaved and sensible child. When other children were bullied or missed home, as long as they cried, their masters would touch their heads or give them candies to comfort them. However, his masters were four cold and rigid old swordsmen. They never coaxed him, but only taught him: "Shubai, you will be the one to support the entire Qingliu Sword Sect in the future, how can you throw a tantrum like a child?"
But they forgot that Ye Shubai was really just a child at that time.
So he learned to hide all his emotions from a young age, never smiling when happy, never crying when sad, and never showing his emotions. After hiding it for a long time, others really thought he was born cold-hearted, and that he had cut off all emotions, and was a swordsman who would never feel sad, and they didn't know that he was actually a person with his own emotions.
She was the only one who treated him as an ordinary person, who took into account all his emotions, and who would explain to him the reasons behind everything he did, for fear that he would misunderstand her.
Ye Shubai's slender eyebrows slightly relaxed. He lowered his head and stared at Wen Yun, and answered seriously: "My wooden sword is very good."
After saying this, he picked up the wooden sword at his waist and showed it to Wen Yun.
If it weren't for his frank tone and clear eyes, Wen Yun would really worry that Ye Shubai was speaking in a sarcastic way.
What kind of sword is that
This sword was actually made by Wen Yun herself. She was well aware of her craftsmanship. Although she was a great stick maker, when it came to sword making, she could only say that it didn't look ugly, but it was actually mediocre.
As for the material, it was made of wood that Wen Yun bought at Wanbao Pavilion for 98 low-grade Lingyu. At that time, she was short of money, with only 100 Lingyu in total. This piece of wood almost took up all her savings, but even so, it couldn't change the fact that it was cheap. If Ye Shubai hadn't maintained it very well over the past few decades, and Wen Yun had added some reinforced magic circles on it, I'm afraid it would have broken countless times.
Even in the world of cultivation, this wooden sword is not worthy of being shown on the table, let alone in the upper realm with abundant resources. Almost no one would use such a shabby sword.
Wen Yun also advised Ye Shubai to change his sword, but he always said that the way of sword cultivation does not lie in the quality of the sword, but in the level of swordsmanship. It sounded very mysterious, but it could not withstand the fact that the sword in his hand was almost rotten wood.
She looked at the wooden sword and sighed: "If you let me use it as firewood now, I will think the fire it burns is not strong enough. But if you really like the wooden sword, I will go find some good wood to make another one for you?"
As she spoke, she began to think about it in her mind, thinking that she might be able to buy some good wood with the source crystals she had.
Ye Shubai held the teacup to his lips and said slowly, "Don't worry, the tree you have been raising for a hundred years is almost grown."
Wen Yun realized that he was talking about the Delonix regia. She turned around and saw that the original sapling had grown lush and green due to her daily diligent watering. Its green branches and leaves continued to extend and grow upward, looking particularly vibrant among the red-leaf trees.
Even Yu Qinghong's body, which was parasitic on the Delonix Regia tree, gradually became more solid and stronger. He could no longer sit firmly on a leaf as before.
Yu Qinghong was sitting on a strong branch at the moment. He found Wen Yun and Ye Shubai looking at him, so he smiled gently and bowed. He then rolled up a leaf flute with a flamboyant tree leaf and imitated the chirping of birds. The tree became lively as if a large group of happy birds were hiding.
Wen Yun smiled and touched the tree trunk, saying, "I think when it grows up, your law of life and death will also be fully developed, right?"
Ye Shubai's understanding of the law of life and death was originally gained from the Delonix Regia. Once the Delonix Regia grows up, it will be another cycle of death to life. By then, he will certainly have a deeper understanding of the law.
"Yes." Ye Shubai nodded, but soon said seriously: "The more critical the training, the more you can't relax. You need to gain more insights from the battle."
After saying this, he stood up with his sword in hand and said, "Let's go and continue practicing."
Wen Yun quickly picked up the bitter tea that he had just despised, took a sip quickly, and hesitated: "I have to taste the tea you brewed yourself, you should go and practice first."
Ye Shubai looked at her, without time to stop her. He stretched out his hand halfway and then put it back silently.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yun looked up at him while holding the teacup.
Ye Shubai pursed his lips, his handsome eyebrows pressed tightly together, and his voice was filled with embarrassment: "The cup you just took was the one I just drank."
Although the two are almost inseparable and often hold hands and hug for various special reasons, they have never had this kind of indirect intimate contact.
Wen Yun's hands tightened. Although her mind was in a mess, she remained calm and simply said "Oh". She did not show any panic-stricken behavior that only a little girl would do.
"It's okay, I don't dislike you."
To show that she really didn't mind, she tilted her head back and drank the glass of water in one gulp.
Ye Shubai took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Thank you."
As the beginning of the month was approaching, Wen Yun and Ye Shubai returned to Yunhai City after giving the Yunjing to Shen Xinghai and leaving the little fire dragon on the island to protect the cloud beasts.
In the past, Yunhai City was filled with a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, where cultivators from all realms could come and go freely. The cultivators who had previously set up stalls outside the Yunhai Tower were able to spontaneously form a large market, with constant sounds of hawking and shouting.
However, when Wen Yun stepped into the place this time, he clearly felt that the atmosphere had changed slightly.
The vendors were still there, but the hawking sounds had disappeared. Everyone tacitly put up a sign in front of their stalls with the items for sale and their prices written on it. However, their eyes were all looking absent-mindedly in the direction of the Yunhai Tower, their attention not at all on doing business.
More importantly, many monks with lower cultivation levels have retreated from the vicinity of Yunhai Tower, and several familiar faces have disappeared.
Wen Yun pulled Ye Shubai's sleeve. Now someone came up to the No. 1 ring to challenge him, and the cloud card on his waist kept flashing.
She repeatedly reminded him: "Remember to run away if you can't win. At worst, you can fight back later."
Ye Shubai nodded to indicate that he understood, and walked towards the Yunhai Tower.
Now Wen Yun was the only one left. She was not in a hurry to go in and challenge others, so she just wandered around the stalls outside the tower to see if she could find some treasures.
At this moment, a rather surprised voice sounded from behind her.
"I've been waiting outside Yunhai Tower for more than half a month, and finally I see you!"
Wen Yun turned his head and saw a pretty girl looking at him.
She greeted him first: "Miss, do you remember me?"
Wen Yun panicked when she encountered this situation. Help, she couldn't remember who this person was!
The little girl held Wen Yun's hand and looked at her with bright eyes: "It's my fault that I was short-sighted. I didn't remember who you were until you two left the casino that day. I didn't recognize you. Now I finally found you again."
After hearing this, Wen Yun belatedly remembered the identity of this person. She seemed to be the girl who poured tea for her and Ye Shubai in the gambling house before? Wen Yun won a lot of source crystals that time and also gave her a reward.
She was always very kind to pretty girls, so she asked politely, "What's the matter?"
The little girl's eyes curved, and she said softly, "I've had the honor of seeing the projection stones of several of your opponents before, and I know that you are very powerful, so this time I came here specially to ask you at the request of the boss, would you like to rent a projection stone and put it in our store for profit sharing? If you win a game, you can get hundreds of thousands of source crystals if you are lucky."
Wen Yun was puzzled: "Rent?"
"Yes, this is a benefit our store gives to the strong. We can rent you the projection stones in our store." The little girl looked at Wen Yun with a smile: "Why don't you follow me to the store now and talk to the boss in detail?"
Wen Yun thought about it. Although she was very tempted, she decided to wait for Ye Shubai here first. She said, "I'll come to the store to look for you later. I have to wait for someone else right now."
"Are you waiting for that young master?" The little girl said with joy: "If you two can come to our store together, we can reduce the rental of the projection stone by half."
Ye Shubai and Wen Yun are both considered dark horses in the Yunhai Tower. Many of their opponents have brought projection stones in, so many people have witnessed their abilities. The two people who were unknown at the beginning are now quite famous in the tower.
Many casinos want to establish a relationship with them. After all, a strong challenger can attract more customers to place bets.
It was a pity that these two people were usually obsessed with cultivation and could not be found. Now that the girl finally met these two people, she naturally didn’t want to leave.
Wen Yun had no choice but to let the little girl follow her. She looked around and asked curiously, "Why is the atmosphere in Yunhai City so weird?"
A cultivator who was selling pills at a stall nearby heard this, raised his eyelids lazily and glanced at Wen Yun, but said nothing.
The little girl's expression froze, and she lowered her voice to explain, "Because more than ninety bodies have been carried out of Yunhai Tower recently."
"So many people died?!" Wen Yun's eyes suddenly widened, realizing a possibility: "Could it be Shang Wuyang?!"
“Who else could it be?” The monk who was selling medicine said unhappily, “I used to sell healing pills here, and I always had some business every month. But now, since Shang Wuyang came, more people have come out, but they are all dead. I have no place to sell my pills.”
A white-bearded cultivator nearby coughed and sighed, "The Cloud Sea Realm was originally ownerless. It was originally formed by scattered cultivators from all realms. Later, in order to avoid slaughter, they slowly divided up the Cloud Island in the form of the Cloud Sea Tower. The last time such a massacre occurred in the Cloud Sea Tower was during my grandfather's generation, which is nearly ten thousand years ago."
The Sea of Clouds was the most special place among all the worlds. No one faction dominated the world, and it was very tolerant. Even Wen Yun and Ye Shubai, who were discriminated against in the outside world, were not much different from other people in the upper world in the eyes of the people of the Sea of Clouds who lived there for a long time.
Even those who dominate the outside world will be unconsciously infected by the atmosphere here when they come to Yunhai Realm, and consciously maintain the rules of peace in the city, and try to use words instead of taking action.
Therefore, in Yunhai City, one can often hear all kinds of dirty words being sworn, but never see anyone fighting.
But as soon as Shang Wuyang arrived in the Yunhai Realm, he was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, causing unrest in the entire world. Unfortunately, he did not break the rules and only killed people in the Yunhai Tower, which left everyone speechless.
Right now, almost everyone is paying attention to the corpses being carried out of the Yunhai Tower from time to time, and listening to the sad cries that break out from time to time. A heavy atmosphere gradually enveloped Yunhai City.
"I just hope that a powerful monk will appear and stop him."
As long as someone who defeats Shang Wuyang appears during his challenge, he will not be able to continue killing people.
The little girl frowned and whispered, "The top person on the third floor is an acquaintance of ours. She also left a projection stone with us. She is good at defense, so I think there should be hope to stop Shang Wuyang from going up..."
But even so, the girl's tone was a little uncertain. After all, Shang Wuyang, this killer, was already invincible. Even people who had just entered the gambling house knew that if they bet on Shang Wuyang, they would win for sure!
Just as he said this, there was a commotion outside the Yunhai Tower not far away.
"It's the silver-armored guards! Another person has been carried out! Let's see who it is!"
"The Red Willow Girl ranked first on the third floor, I didn't expect that even she would..."
"Can it still be saved?"
"Alas, she came out of the third floor again. Do you think she can survive?"
The little girl was startled, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, full of sadness and fear: "Sister Hongliu also fell into Shang Wuyang's hands..."
Red Willow Girl is also a casual cultivator, but it seems that she is very popular among the cultivators.
Upon hearing the news of her death, the people gathered around the Yunhai Tower fell silent. No one made any sarcastic remarks. They all quietly helped the crying Red Willow Girl's friends to collect her body.
In the blink of an eye, another master in the Ascension Period died. Although the people outside the tower were panicked for a while, they were used to such scenes and quickly returned to their stalls to sit down. From time to time, they looked at the Yunhai Tower anxiously, wondering when the next body would be carried out.
The little girl also looked a little sad. Wen Yun didn't know what to say, so he could only touch her head to comfort her.
This girl was very strong. Perhaps it was because she had been hanging out in taverns for many years and had seen all kinds of big scenes, so she quickly returned to normal.
Wen Yun was still thinking about how to coax the child, but she suddenly tugged at the corner of Wen Yun's clothes, pointed at someone not far away and said, "Miss, the young master seems to have come out."
As she spoke, she pulled Wen Yun towards the tall and handsome figure in a white shirt.
If you just look at the back, they are exactly the same, but Wen Yun knows at a glance that this person is not Ye Shubai. She is so familiar with him that she doesn't even need to confirm his breath to tell the difference between the two.
However, the little girl couldn't tell, she had already extended her hand enthusiastically to greet him: "Sir, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
The man holding the sword turned his head slightly, revealing half of his cold face as if carved from ice, without any emotion.
It was an expressionless, thin face, with slender eyebrows slightly drooping and very thin lips. In fact, he was very handsome, but his coldness that kept people at a distance made people not want to approach him at all.
What's even more terrible is that when I got closer, I found that the front of his white shirt was covered with shocking blood stains. Some of them had been stained for so long that they had turned into a dark rust color.
The little girl stopped abruptly.
She realized that she recognized the wrong person and apologized hurriedly: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
However, just as she turned to run, the man spoke.
"stop."
The little girl's legs went limp. The strong pressure almost made her unable to breathe and she could hardly stand.
At this moment, a hand gently held her behind her back and protected her.
Wen Yun went up to the bloody man and looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
His slender eyebrows drooped, and his voice was flat, not like an order, nor a request, without any emotion: "I want 10,000 source crystals."
Wen Yun was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Daoyou, are you planning to rob people on the road?"
