On high alert, the two decided to wait a little longer. Moments later, a flicker of light appeared ahead, and three figures slowly emerged.
"It seems to be them," Cold Moon cheered, as the three figures were arranged in a high, medium, and low formation, clearly Bai Kuo, Duan Liu, and Wine Kid.
"Why are there only three of them..." After the cheer, Cold Moon's voice quickly turned hoarse as she realized she couldn't see Luo Shanshan.
"Hmph, she really knows how to enjoy herself," Ye Tian snorted coldly, feeling quite annoyed with Luo Shanshan. To be honest, he found her pretentious and overbearing.
As the figures drew closer, Cold Moon finally understood why there were only three. The reason she couldn't hear Luo Shanshan's footsteps was that she was being carried on Duan Liu's back...
"Ye Tian!"
Duan Liu was the first to spot the two standing at the cave entrance and called out happily. Soon after, Bai Kuo and Wine Kid also noticed them and hurried over.
Luo Shanshan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly jumped off Duan Liu's back, lowered her head, and walked over to join the others.
"Are you all okay?" Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Ye Tian was initially very pleased. However, upon catching sight of Luo Shanshan in that state, an inexplicable displeasure surged within him.
"We're fine. Where's Yun'er? Didn't he say he was coming to find you?" Duan Liu asked.
"It's good that you're all fine. Stay here; I'll come back for you shortly," Ye Tian replied without answering Duan Liu's question. Yun'er was still in a tough battle; since everyone was safe, he needed to rush to support Yun'er immediately.
"I'll go with you," Cold Moon said as she quickly caught up with Ye Tian who was turning to leave.
Ye Tian shook his head and said, "No need. You stay here and watch over them. There are likely still a few strong opponents who haven't shown themselves yet; they are not your match."
Cold Moon hesitated slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately could only nod in agreement.
In fact, Ye Tian's decision to not let her accompany him was not only based on this consideration; there was another reason. He could not allow Cold Moon to see Yun'er's Blood Sect Secret Technique, as it could potentially lead to unnecessary trouble.
After saying this, Ye Tian leaped into the dense forest from the cave entrance.
Prior to this, he had clearly seen two burly men holding torches for Fourth Master, and then both of them disappeared simultaneously. One had pursued him but was dealt with by Ye Tian. However, the other one had yet to show up.
Ye Tian wanted Cold Moon to stay behind as a precaution against this person.
Of course, during the recent Massacre, Ye Tian had also not seen any sign of Dong Yuankang. It was unclear whether this person was unable to face off against Ye Tian or for some other reason, but in any case, he had vanished without a trace.
As Ye Tian pondered, he swiftly moved in the direction of the two auras. After about half a stick of incense's time, something unusual happened again.
The auras suddenly came to a halt!
The originally intense auras abruptly dissipated, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Ye Tian was shocked and stopped his Footsteps to concentrate and sense, but after a while, it still proved futile. The two auras had vanished as if they were droplets of water evaporated by the Blazing Sun.
"This is bad!" A terrifying thought suddenly surged into his mind.
"Could it be that something happened to Yun'er?" Ye Tian exclaimed. The disappearance of the auras could only mean two things. First, both individuals were deliberately suppressing their auras to prevent them from leaking out, but this seemed unlikely given that they were currently engaged in combat. Second, one of them might have perished, and the remaining one resolved the threat and retracted the Blood Sect Secret Technique.
The likelihood of the second scenario was very high. Moreover, based on any reasoning, if the two had indeed determined a victor, the chances of that victor being Yun'er were extremely slim.
"If anything happens to Yun'er, I will definitely take revenge on you all at Huanggang Ridge!" Ye Tian shouted hoarsely, his figure soaring into the air as he raced towards the battlefield of the two.
...
Inside the cave, everyone lit a few torches carried by the black-clad figures, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
"Sister Ningyue, do you think Yun'er will be okay?" Wine Kid spoke without restraint, ignoring the displeasure of others as he insisted on voicing his concerns.
However, Cold Moon rarely showed any reaction; she merely glanced at him and shook her head gently.
"Does shaking your head mean you know or don't know?" Wine Kid couldn't read the atmosphere at all and pressed on with another question.
"Can you be quiet for a moment and stop asking?" Bai Kuo interjected.
Hearing this, Wine Kid raised an eyebrow at him, dissatisfied. "I wasn't asking you."
"Everyone is feeling anxious; can't we have a moment of silence?" Bai Kuo was equally unyielding. Although he was sitting with his head down, everyone could imagine the impatient expression on his face.
"If you find me noisy, go outside," Wine Kid retorted, even more displeased. He was talking to Cold Moon; why did Bai Kuo feel the need to interrupt?
In truth, the relationships among these individuals were far from friendly. If it weren't for Ye Tian and Cold Moon taking charge, they probably wouldn't have become friends at all.
Bai Kuo's feelings towards Cold Moon were quite evident, and he was somewhat petty in this regard. Even when Wine Kid said a little too much to Cold Moon, Bai Kuo felt uncomfortable, despite Cold Moon having repeatedly expressed that their relationship could only be that of friends.
As for what kind of person Wine Kid was, it went without saying. He was extremely willful; if someone fell out of his favor, they could forget about ever redeeming themselves in his eyes.
Furthermore, there was Luo Shanshan, who was able to befriend everyone entirely thanks to Duan Liu. Duan Liu was a nice person who got along with everyone, but Luo Shanshan was extremely pretentious and often acted snobbishly, which made her unpopular among the group. However, out of respect for Duan Liu, they could only tolerate her. After all, Duan Liu was wholeheartedly devoted.
It was this delicate relationship that was finally about to explode at this moment.
Upon hearing Wine Kid's words, Bai Kuo stood up straight and walked outside, muttering to himself, "Clumsy and foolish..."
"Who are you talking about?!" Wine Kid was not someone who could swallow his anger; Xuanyuan Changfeng had spoiled him into developing the worst habits.
"You little brat, I can't be bothered with your nonsense," Bai Kuo said without looking back as he continued walking outside.
"You better stop right there!" Wine Kid shouted angrily, picking up a piece of rubble from the ground and throwing it at Bai Kuo.
Cold Moon furrowed her brows upon seeing this. At that moment, she was thinking about Ye Tian and Yun'er. Although things were getting chaotic in front of her, she couldn't be bothered to intervene. However, Wine Kid had crossed the line this time.
If their earlier exchange had merely been banter, then Wine Kid's action undoubtedly provoked a conflict. No matter how annoying it was, Cold Moon ultimately couldn't just stand by and watch her people fight each other.
Just as she was about to scold Wine Kid, Bai Kuo unexpectedly made a move that took her by surprise.
As the rubble flew toward Bai Kuo, Wine Kid did not use his energy to propel it; Bai Kuo could have easily dodged it by simply sidestepping. But he didn't; instead, he countered with a burst of energy that struck the rubble and sent it hurtling back at Wine Kid with several times the force.
Wine Kid was taken aback. Although his previous actions were reckless, they were merely childish antics; he never expected things would escalate to actual violence.
But Bai Kuo's response was different. Using Martial Origin Power to propel the rubble clearly indicated an intention to harm Wine Kid.
In this situation, Cold Moon could no longer sit idly by; Bai Kuo had gone too far.
"Bai Kuo!"
Cold Moon shouted sharply, her sword creating ripples as it shattered the flying debris into dust. Bai Kuo turned to look at Cold Moon, just in time to see her swing her long sword, a wave of sorrow rising in his heart.
"Ningyue, you actually drew your sword against me?" Bai Kuo asked mournfully.
"My surname is Cold," Cold Moon replied without looking at him. To be honest, Cold Moon had always felt some aversion towards Bai Kuo. If he truly cared for her, he would not have deliberately distanced himself from her in front of Thunderstorm. Moreover, today he even attacked Wine Kid, an eleven-year-old child, which crossed Cold Moon's bottom line.
However, her earlier strike was not aimed at Bai Kuo; it was merely a reflexive action.
Bai Kuo fell silent. After a moment, he let out a few cold laughs and vanished into the cave.
Duan Liu, who had spent the most time with Bai Kuo, wanted to say something to ease the tension when he saw the situation had reached a stalemate. But before he could gather his thoughts, Bai Kuo had already disappeared without a trace.
"Sigh..." Duan Liu sighed deeply. By the time he reached the cave entrance, Bai Kuo was long gone, and his calls received no response.
"Sister Ningyue, I..." Wine Kid also realized his reckless behavior. Although he was mischievous, he was very obedient to Cold Moon. Seeing her displeased expression now, he approached her wanting to take the initiative to apologize.
Cold Moon waved her hand. Most of the blame for this incident lay with Bai Kuo, or at least that was how she felt. As for whether she was being biased or not, she did not want to think about it or dwell on it.
"Nothing's wrong, he'll probably come back once he's calmed down," Cold Moon said irritably, even she did not believe her own words. The cold laughter that Bai Kuo had let out before leaving had chilled her to the bone. It was a cold born from extreme disappointment and resentment.
It seemed that from now on, Bai Kuo would no longer be Cold Moon's friend, and by extension, neither would Ye Tian and the others. Even Wine Kid might become his enemy.
"Sister Ningyue, let me speak fairly; this is all Wine Kid's fault. If it weren't for his loose tongue..."
"Shut up!" Cold Moon interrupted Luo Shanshan coldly. After a pause, she added, "No one is to mention this again in the future, or don't blame me for turning hostile!"
Duan Liu quickly pulled Luo Shanshan aside, signaling her not to stir up trouble at this moment.
However, Luo Shanshan seemed unwilling. Although she didn't dare to continue speaking, her pouting lips and rolling eyes clearly indicated her extreme dissatisfaction with Cold Moon.
Perhaps it was also her unusual feelings about Bai Kuo's departure...
...
"If anything happens to Yun'er, I will definitely take revenge on you all at Huanggang Ridge!"
Ye Tian's hoarse roar echoed through the Forest, startling countless birds into flight.
"Can't you wish for something good for me?"
From behind, a familiar and pleasant voice suddenly came. Ye Tian hurriedly turned around and saw Yun'er standing with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and looking at him with a gentle smile on her face.
