Chapter 676: Returning to the Cave

“Master, what’s wrong?” Ruo Tong had a sophisticated mind as she could not but help to ask when she saw Qin Wushuang’s abnormal expression. Letting out a miserable laugh, Qin Wushuang shook his head. “I’m alright, is your Junior Sister also in the valley now?”

“Yes, she is training inside the cave of the Tiger Saint.”

“Training in that cave? Are you sure?” Qin Wushuang asked with an unimaginable tone.

“Yes!” Ruo Tong’s tone sounded incredibly determined and then, she asked with a strange expression, “Master, could it be that the person who picked the Supreme Dao Fruit was not you?”

“No, it was me.” Qin Wushuang did not conceal this fact.

“Then it’s strange. How come Junior Sister did not discovered you? She is beneath that abyss before the stone platform that is next to the divine fruit.” There was also a trace of confusion from Ruo Tong’s tone.

“Beneath that abyss?” Qin Wushuang was incredibly astonished. Of course, he had a deep impression of that deep abyss. At the moment, he never thought that a person would have been beneath that deep abyss!

“Yes, Master, if you truly did pick the Supreme Dao Fruit, then you are really lucky! While Junior Sister trains there, at the same time she is also in charge of the strongest defense mechanism. If she had activated the strongest defense, even if you are an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao Stage, it would have been tough to avoid the attack. Yet for some reason, Junior Sister did not activate that attack. We also asked Senior Sister about this, but she did not explain.”

Ruo Ping Fairy had questioned Shui Ruolan and she refused to believe her statement. Therefore, naturally she would not explain this to Shui Ruolan.

Of course, she would not have the courage to create rumors that could harm Shui Ruolan.

“Then for your Junior Sister, is she still inside that abyss?” Qin Wushuang could not but help to ask.

Ruo Tong said with astonishment, “Master, could it be you are thinking of dealing with Junior Sister?”

“Oh?” Qin Wushuang remained calm and collected.

Ruo Tong shook her head. “I would not object if you were to deal with Senior Sister. However, Junior Sister is truly a good person and very innocent. Besides, although Junior Sister is only at the Perfect Void Martial Stage, if she were to activate the strongest defense, it would be tough for you to gain any advantage.”

Qin Wushuang shook his head. “You don’t need to speak anymore, I’ve already made up my mind.”

Just as Ruo Tong wanted to say something further, suddenly she saw the communication signal from the jade plate. She said, “Master, it’s Senior Sister!”

“Just pretend I do not exist.” Qin Wushuang waved his hand.

Ruo Tong activated the communication jade plate, “Senior Sister, are you coming?”

“Yes, Junior Sister Ruo Tong, you did well this time! Soon I will be heading over. Watch them. Do not beat the grass and scare the snake!”

Ruo Tong said, “Alright, Senior Sister, you better come quickly. I am afraid that they might leave soon!”

“You should stay there to watch them. Even if they are to leave, do not try to stop them, understand?” Ruo Ping Fairy’s tone sounded as if she had a trick up her sleeve.

“Ok!”

She broke the spiritual perception communication and Ruo Tong turned to look at Qin Wushuang. “Master, it seems Senior Sister is coming. If she is to come, most likely she will be leading Tiger Saint to come together.”

Upon mentioning the Nine Change Celestial Tiger, Qin Wushuang felt extremely helpless. With this devilish divine beast, regardless of possessing thousands of strategies, he could only make one decision and that would be to flee.

Before absolute strong power, any form of strategy would be void. No matter how good the strategy could be, it would not shrink the gigantic difference between him and the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao divine beast.

“Humph, she is scheming rather well. If she brings the divine beast, could I still wait for her here? Let’s play hide and seek with her!”

Qin Wushuang waved his hand and instructed, “All spiritual beasts return here, we will leave this instant!”

As soon as he gave the order, all the spiritual beasts on the exterior side had returned.

Qin Wushuang said, “The Emei Daoist Sect has already locked onto me as their target. It seems we will not be having any peaceful days in the future. Return to the seal.”

Fortunately, Qin Wushuang had already consolidated his Perfect Void Martial Stage through hard efforts. He decided that regardless, he would first return to that cave and see whether Shui Ruolan was there or not.

Although Qin Wushuang could not change the reality of how Shui Ruolan had become a disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect, regardless of all consequences, he could not sit and ignore her.

No matter Shui Ruolan’s present situation, he must see her before proceeding.

…

“Wuji, do you think the person Ruo Tong is monitoring is Qin Wushuang? If Qin Wushuang is as powerful as you say, would Ruo Tong not be discovered if she was able to monitor him?” Ruo Ping Fairy asked with a lack of confidence.

She had not revealed to any disciples the existence of Xin Wuji. With his power, it would be incredibly easy to conceal him from other disciples of the Emei Daoist Sect.

“Fairy, Qin Wushuang has some divine beasts he can summon. By my information, some of those spiritual beasts are powerful and some are weak. Junior Sister Ruo Tong must be spying on some of the weaker ones. Since the spiritual beasts were nearby, Qin Wushuang must not be far away. Regardless, it would not be our loss just to take a look!”

“Wuji, then I’ll listen to you! By the way, should we invite Tiger Saint to come with us?” Ruo Ping Fairy asked.

“Fairy, this isn’t me talking big, but if we can find Qin Wushuang, as long as you set up for the formation, I promise that Qin Wushuang will not get away! Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?”

Deep inside Xin Wuji’s heart, he was not willing to deal with the divine beast. Most importantly, his ambition was not just for one of the Supreme Dao Fruits: he wanted to get both!

Xin Wuji had employed all strategies to deceive this Ruo Ping Fairy this whole time. He only had the last defense line to conquer.

He was thinking of how to take down this Ruo Ping Fairy. By that time, he would become extremely close to her and deceive Ruo Ping Fairy to open the defense line of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. As soon as he was out of the valley, he would kill this woman immediately.

No one knew the colluded work between Xin Wuji and Ruo Ping Fairy inside this Ten Thousand Flower Valley. Since this matter was top-secret, who would learn the inside story as long as he does it squeakily clean?

Soon, the two of them had arrived at Ruo Tong’s location with one in the open and one moving in the dark. However, Qin Wushuang had already left this place by now.

“Where is he?” Ruo Ping Fairy asked.

“Senior Sister, he’s already gone!” Upon having received Qin Wushuang’s instruction, of course Ruo Tong knew how to deal with this Senior Sister. She had already prepared an explanation in her head.

“Gone? When did he leave?” Ruo Ping Fairy asked with frustration.

“He has been gone a short while now, at most an hour ago. Senior Sister, if you could have arrived one step earlier, certainly you could have met them. I have a premonition that most likely this group of people has stolen the Supreme Dao Fruit. Perhaps, the thief has already consumed the Supreme Dao Fruit. They could be in solitary training and refining the fruit!” Ruo Tong said while adding fine details to the story.

Her words had made the expression of Ruo Ping Fairy turn angry. “Refining the Supreme Dao fruit? Unless he is already at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, it would be his wishful thinking to refine the Supreme Dao Fruit!”

“Alright, it will be none of your business here. Go regroup with the other disciples. I am going to search for any traces around the area.”

Now, Ruo Ping Fairy wanted to send away people with no fixed duties to create an environment for her and Xin Wuji. In the end, it would not be convenient when other disciples were present.

Ruo Tong had wanted to leave from this Ruo Ping Fairy. The rest of the people would be alright, and yet before this Senior Sister, he was afraid of getting exposed. Hearing the words of this Senior Sister, she nodded. “Senior Sister, then you be careful. I have seen this group of people is not ordinary.”

Ruo Ping Fairy revealed a disdainful smile. Inwardly, she thought that of course it would be terrifying in your eyes. I am at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, plus Wuji who was the strongest beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, how could we be scared of that kid?

She waved her hand. “Go, regroup with the others.”

After Ruo Tong had went away, Xin Wuji walked out from the dark and fixed his tone, “Fairy, this is definitely the place where Qin Wushuang had appeared! I am too familiar with this presence!”

“This Qin Wushuang is not a young kid, he could have left a trace of his presence here?” Ruo Ping Fairy had a trace of doubt.

“That kid is rather smart. For any person, it would be impossible to completely erase their presence when having stayed at one place for too long. And I have exclusive methods to verify such presence. If I’ve guessed correctly, he has trained here. Or else, the presence would not have been so rich! This guy is rather bold. Under such a situation, he has the mindset to train?”

Ruo Ping Fairy could not but help to ask, “Wuji, he could not have truly refined that Supreme Dao Fruit, right?”

“Impossible, it’s impossible for Qin Wushuang to refine the Supreme Dao Fruit with his strength. I see that at most he is at the Perfect Void Martial Stage. How could he have refined the Supreme Dao Fruit?” Xin Wuji denied this possibility.

“Wuji, how about let’s ask Tiger Saint to come out! As soon as Tiger Saint disperses his Supreme Dao spiritual perception, we could still catch up to that Qin Wushuang!”

Of course Xin Wuji would not allow such a thing to occur. If that divine beast were to step out, how could Xin Wuji have the opportunity to seize the Supreme Dao Fruit? Clearly, it would be impossible.

To seize the Supreme Dao Fruit, he must do it together with Ruo Ping Fairy.

At the moment he said, “Fairy, rest assured, this Qin Wushuang has not gone far. As we keep tracking, there will be more traces.”

“Alright, Wuji, I’ll listen to you.”

…

Qin Wushuang moved forward at a rapid speed. Next day after lunchtime, he took the roundabout route and arrived next to the cave. Now, the surrounding area of the cave was in a mess. Clearly, the divine beast had not returned.

Yet Qin Wushuang did not dare to beat the grass and scare the snake. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he dispersed his spiritual perception and slowly walked in after he had verified the safety level.

Regardless, although he knew that he was safe at the moment, Qin Wushuang’s heartbeat could not refrain from speeding up. Could Shui Ruolan truly be inside that abyss?

Although he knew that Ruo Tong would not lie, he still worried about personal gains and losses. After not seeing her for a few years, would Shui Ruolan still be that innocent young girl as serene and remote as an orchid in a deep valley? Would she still be that kind of girl?

Everything appeared full of uncertainty.

The Emei Daoist Sect was truly terrifying. Under such a situation, Qin Wushuang had not dared to think of how Shui Ruolan had undergone the transformation.

When he arrived at the entrance of the abyss, Qin Wushuang was stunned. The abyss had clearly become much shallower. Qin Wushuang urged his spiritual perception to investigate and realized that no one was in the abyss!

Where was Shui Ruolan?

Could Ruo Tong be lying? Qin Wushuang denied this possibility! Being a puppet controlled by the divine venomous insect, it would be impossible for Ruo Tong to lie to her master.

Then there would only be one possibility, Shui Ruolan had already left the abyss.

When he had such thought, suddenly Qin Wushuang’s spiritual perception was alerted for bursts of footsteps sounded from outside the cave entrance!
