The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the bright moonlight once again spread across the land.
Under the moonlight, the Peach Willow Grove was no longer vibrant as it had been before; instead, it had turned into a scene of devastation, with fallen branches and broken trees scattered everywhere.
This scene was entirely due to the Black Fiend Soul, whose immense power had left several deep trenches on the ground.
A gentle Breeze blew, stirring the hem of a garment as a figure stood quietly, gazing into the unknown distance.
Needless to say, this person was Ye Tian, who had just fought a fierce battle with Wu Xiaozhuang.
After a moment, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze from afar, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "I couldn't kill Wu Xiaozhuang this time; I fear there won't be another opportunity like this in the future."
Although he had defeated Wu Xiaozhuang, the latter's displayed strength and cunning left Ye Tian feeling uneasy. If he couldn't seize on his opponent's weaknesses and eliminate him quickly, what Xu Ao had warned about would surely come true—Wu Xiaozhuang would undoubtedly become a significant threat to the Cold Family.
"Xiaoshuang..."
A delicate and charming figure appeared in Ye Tian's mind. If Wu Xiaozhuang truly had any plans, Cold Frost would likely be his primary target.
For both Ye Tian and Cold Boyuan, Cold Frost was the most important presence in their lives.
Shaking his head, Ye Tian decided not to dwell on it any longer. After all, actions speak louder than thoughts; merely thinking about it would be of no use.
He quickly approached Xu Ao, reached out to check his breathing, and then felt for his pulse.
"You may be dead, but this grudge is far from settled!" Ye Tian stared at the lifeless body, determination shining in his eyes.
"Wu Xiaozhuang, Wang Weiyang!"
One was a scoundrel who harmed his brother, and the other was the murderer who drove his mother to her death!
These two names made him clench his fists tightly. In his deep hatred, his not-so-sharp nails pierced through flesh, embedding deeply into his palm.
"One day, your fate will be the same as his!"
On the ground, Xu Ao's clothes were soaked in blood, his face had turned a ghastly white, and his bulging eyes reflected a horrific state—truly a fitting end for his crimes.
Ye Tian stared blankly at Xu Ao's corpse, unable to help but recall the events of that day when his mother was driven to her death.
...
This incident occurred about seven or eight months ago.
That day was clear and sunny, with not a cloud in sight.
At the residence of Ye Tian and his mother, Xu Ao was lurking by the window of their thatched cottage, peering inside...
"Xu Ao, my brother! After all these years, you still haven't changed this old habit?" Just then, Wang Weiyang appeared behind Xu Ao, patting him on the shoulder with a mischievous grin.
Xu Ao was startled and turned around. Seeing it was Wang Weiyang, he immediately broke into a smile and said, "When did you come back, Wang Weiyang? Why didn't you let me know?" Since Wang Weiyang had been chosen by Cloud Sea Sect, Xu Ao asked this out of curiosity.
After speaking, he paused for a moment, then with a lewd smile pointed towards the house and said, "It's not that I can't change; it's just that the women in this house are simply too enticing! Although they are older than us, they have such charm! Compared to those ordinary courtesans, they are leagues above! Just take a look!"
Wang Weiyang peered through the shabby window of the thatched cottage. He noticed that despite its dilapidated appearance, the interior was very clean and tidy, giving off a simple and unpretentious vibe.
"What are you looking at?" Wang Weiyang asked Xu Ao in confusion.
"Of course, I'm looking at the women!" Xu Ao replied, leaning forward to sneak another glance inside.
"Hey! This is really strange! They were just here a moment ago!" Xu Ao rubbed his eyes as he faced the empty room.
"Are you imagining things because you’re thinking about women too much?" Wang Weiyang mocked.
"Impossible! They were clearly..." Xu Ao was still trying to argue when suddenly a gentle voice came from behind them.
"This young man has been peering through my window for quite some time; may I ask what your intentions are?"
The voice was soft and warm like water, yet not flirtatious, instantly evoking a feeling akin to "a gentle breeze brushing past on a hot summer day."
Both men were startled by the voice and turned around to see a beautiful woman standing behind them. She appeared to be around thirty years old, with delicate features and a graceful figure. Although she wore plain clothing, it only enhanced her beauty without being overly seductive, exuding an air of nobility.
Xu Ao, who was lecherous by nature, felt even more excited upon seeing the beauty before him. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss, you’ve misunderstood me. This isn’t peeping; this is appreciation!" After saying this, his eyes sparkled with evident desire.
At that moment, Wang Weiyang couldn't help but think to himself, "I never expected such a beauty to live in this shabby little courtyard!"
Although he also had impure thoughts, he quickly became wary. With his four levels of Martial Mastery, he hadn’t sensed the presence of this beautiful woman appearing silently behind them at all!
There are only two possibilities in this situation:
First, she has some special techniques for holding her breath or lightness.
Second, her cultivation is far superior to mine by several times!
"The beautiful woman lives alone in a humble room, so she must feel lonely. Today, I just happen to pass by here and can help relieve your boredom," Xu Ao said, already reaching out his large hand towards the Beautiful Woman, Shaoyan, while Wang Weiyang was still deep in thought.
"Xu Ao, stop!"
Just as Xu Ao's hand was about to touch the Beautiful Woman's face, Wang Weiyang shouted loudly.
Xu Ao halted at the sound, looking at Wang Weiyang with confusion. "What do you mean, Wang Weiyang?"
Wang Weiyang did not answer but instead stared at the Beautiful Woman with a vigilant expression as if facing a great enemy.
Xu Ao was even more puzzled. However, after a moment of thought, he seemed to realize something and leaned closer with a sly grin. "I see! Could it be that Wang Weiyang has taken a liking to this woman and wants to take her home as a wife? Am I right?"
Wang Weiyang remained silent and subtly adjusted his stance into a defensive position.
Xu Ao was still lost in thoughts about the Beautiful Woman's graceful figure and had not yet caught on. He patted Wang Weiyang on the shoulder and said, "But let me remind you, although she looks young, she is actually quite a bit older than us! Besides, she's a widow, so marrying her would not be auspicious. And she has a son—the one who gets bullied by the kids in town every day."
Wang Weiyang still did not respond. Xu Ao raised an eyebrow and coldly snorted. "Wang Weiyang, do you not believe what I say? This woman is best for us brothers to play with. If you have thoughts of marrying her, I advise you to give up early. Not to mention whether it's auspicious or not; just her beggar-like son could embarrass your Wang family! Moreover..."
"Roar!"
Before the words were finished, a tiger's roar suddenly echoed nearby. Xu Ao was startled and looked at Wang Weiyang, only to see the latter's figure darting forward, golden light and tiger shadows appearing on his fist, striking towards the Beautiful Woman with the ferocity of a tiger pouncing on its prey. The powerful energy unleashed created a Sound of Breaking Air that resonated like a tiger's roar, instilling fear in the hearts of those present.
"Wang Weiyang, be careful..." Xu Ao's first thought was not about Wang Weiyang's safety or why he had suddenly attacked, but rather that he must not harm the Beautiful Woman's appearance.
Wang Weiyang's iron fist was about to reach the Beautiful Woman, yet her eyes seemed to be afflicted by some ailment; her pupils appeared unfocused. Faced with Wang Weiyang's thunderous strike, she did not flinch or evade.
Seeing that things were going awry, Xu Ao instinctively raised his hand to help but found himself frozen in place, helpless. After all, Wang Weiyang was a Martial Mastery; there were only a handful of individuals in Spirit Martial Town who had achieved such strength. His own Fourth-Stage Warrior abilities were insignificant in comparison; intervening would be akin to a moth flying into the flame or an ant trying to stop a chariot!
"Bang!"
A loud sound erupted, and Xu Ao slowly lowered his hands from his eyes, sighing, "Such a beauty, just like that ruined by you... What!!!"
In his exclamation, Xu Ao did not witness the gruesome sight of the Beautiful Woman bleeding out; instead, he saw Wang Weiyang several feet away from him, beside which a thick tree had been splintered and shattered into pieces.
"Where is she?!" he asked in terror as he looked at Wang Weiyang.
"I don't know..." Wang Weiyang surveyed his surroundings. Although he had prepared himself for this moment, he was still shaken.
He had merely intended to test the Beautiful Woman's strength and indeed struck her. However, before his eyes, her body had instantly transformed into a transparent form like water, allowing him to pass right through her. The momentum of his strike continued unabated and slammed into a tree several feet behind her. When he turned back to look again, under the bright daylight, there was no trace of the Beautiful Woman left.
As both men were astonished, that gentle voice rang out once more.
"Please return, gentlemen. With your strength, you cannot harm me." The Beautiful Woman's voice came through as her watery silhouette gradually solidified into form several feet away from them.
"Heh! That may not be the case," Wang Weiyang scoffed upon hearing this. His hands began to swirl with intense energy. In an instant, two powerful whirlwinds formed as the energy surged forth. The Whispers stirred up sand and stones within several feet around him, transforming into a black dragon made of sand that circled around him before rushing towards the source of the voice with a thunderous roar.
"Yellow Rank Seven-Grade Martial Arts, Black Wind Refining Dragon Hand! I come to seek your guidance!" Wang Weiyang declared loudly, his mind already calculating. With the immense power of the Black Wind Refining Dragon Hand, even if that Beautiful Woman transformed into mist again, she would surely not escape this deadly strike.
Indeed, the black dragon roared as it surged forward, its might terrifying. The Beautiful Woman had no time to react and was instantly swept into the hurricane created by the black dragon, disappearing without a trace.
"The so-called wind blows and water scatters; I wonder how you will resolve this time?" Wang Weiyang's face showed delight, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Here is how I resolve it!" Just as the former was feeling triumphant, the voice of the Beautiful Woman rang out again. Then, from within the hurricane, a stone figure slowly emerged, its form and appearance identical to that of the Beautiful Woman!
Wang Weiyang's expression darkened further upon seeing this, while Xu Ao was already stunned in shock.
"I know you haven't used your full strength, but I must advise you not to waste your effort," the Beautiful Woman said coldly, with a hint of anger.
"This body technique is certainly not possessed by a Martial Sovereign! Are you from the Spirit Sect or... the Blood Sect?!" Wang Weiyang asked in astonishment.
"It doesn't matter which sect it is; what matters is that I only wish to live peacefully. I hope both of you will not disturb me again in the future."
At this moment, Xu Ao had also regained his composure and leaned closer to Wang Weiyang, whispering, "Do you have a chance to defeat her?"
Wang Weiyang slowly shook his head and intended to leave. However, just as he moved his foot, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning. He turned back with a sinister smile and said, "Living peacefully is certainly possible, but I have two conditions!"
