Master Liu Yue led his team towards the destination.
As always, the entourage was quite large.
His personal attendant, Ling Su, walked ahead, scouting the way.
Facing the strange carriages ahead, Ling Su was about to announce himself as Master Liu Yue's representative, here to "beat you up," when he noticed something amiss.
“Hey, why are these people just standing there? Are they scared silly by our grand arrival? Master, Master, I told you not to be so flamboyant when we go out! Look at this!”
“Alright, alright, you're so chatty. It's impossible for me to scare people to death without even showing up!”
Master Liu Yue was amused by Ling Su's antics.
Why was he always trying to undermine him?
However, he also sensed that something was wrong.
There must be a master who had taken care of these people beforehand.
He immediately ordered Ling Su to check if the coffin in the carriage was still there.
But before Ling Su could reluctantly go, a white-haired swordsman appeared from the front, leaping onto the carriage and lifting the curtain to take a look.
He then said disappointedly, "Strange, it's not here!”
“Who are you? Master, someone is trying to steal our thunder. You must teach him a lesson!”
Ling Su was startled and displeased.
He immediately launched into a verbal barrage, scolding the other.
The white-haired swordsman ignored him, thinking, "This little girl is sharp-tongued, not afraid of getting into trouble? If Master Liu Yue wasn't protecting you, I would have taught you a lesson!"
However, since he couldn't find what he was looking for, he turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Master Liu Yue couldn't just stand idly by.
He immediately pulled out his golden sash and threw it, launching it toward the white-haired swordsman to block him.
The white-haired swordsman also didn't yield. Without turning around, he casually blocked the golden sash.
But the formidable power of the sash forced him to retreat back towards the sedan chair.
He looked somewhat embarrassed.
“Hehe, when our Master makes a move, you can't just go around causing trouble!”
Ling Su took the opportunity to show off, feeling a little smug.
However, before he could revel in his triumph, four black-clad masters suddenly appeared from the sides of the sedan chair, surrounding them.
It was clearly a trap set by the other side, forcing Master Liu Yue to back down by using the people in his care as hostages.
“You use your golden sash for murder and arson. Master Liu Yue, your reputation is well-deserved. Today, I want to see your true face!”
The white-haired swordsman leaped into the air, wielding his sword. A dazzling golden light appeared behind him, as he unleashed his most powerful attack.
“You're White-Haired Immortal!”
Master Liu Yue recognized him, and it seemed this battle was inevitable.
He had no choice but to fight.
He gripped the returning golden sash, preparing to strike.
But a black shadow flew down from the sky, powerful sword energy instantly forming a black barrier in mid-air. It forcibly suppressed the golden light of White-Haired Immortal, making it dim.
A sharp sword energy clashed against his attack.
The shockwave reverberated around them, causing everyone to look in awe!
This was…
One of the Eight Masters, Master Mo Chen, also known as Mo Xiao Hei.
He was considered the Black Master, in contrast to Master Liu Yue, the White Master!
***
Night had fallen.
On the road to Lingxi Temple, a woman walked along, her silhouette disappearing into the darkness.
The person she was about to meet was very important to her.
It would determine whether she could change her fate and avenge the betrothal that was arranged for Gu Luo Li.
This woman was Yan Liu Li, the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
But after learning the true nature of her elder brother, Yan Bie Tian, she had decided to betray him.
She even invited her fellow disciples from the Gu Sword Sect to discuss this matter.
However, she never expected that her every move would be under someone else's control.
At that moment, a carriage stopped on the road she had to take.
A mysterious man in plain clothes blocked her path.
“Yan Liu Li? The thing you want is in my hands!”
His appearance surprised Yan Liu Li.
After all, she had kept her trip and meeting with others very secretive. How could an outsider know about it?
She was shocked.
“Who are you?”
“Who I am is unimportant. First, take a look at who's in this carriage.”
As he pointed to the object in the carriage, Yan Liu Li saw that it was a coffin.
Her eyes narrowed.
Before she could ask, the man opened the coffin lid halfway, revealing the familiar figure inside.
It was the deceased head of the Gu family, Gu Luo Li.
This scene was truly shocking for Yan Liu Li.
She had originally joined forces with several of the Northern Li Eight Masters, trying to get Gu Luo Li's body back from her brother.
But it turned out to be in someone else's hands.
“What do you want to do?”
“What I want to do is unimportant. What matters is what you want to do?”
The man stared at her with piercing eyes, full of intensity.
Clearly, he had seen through her.
You want to avenge Gu Luo Li, and you want to control the Yan family.
Then, you have to beg me!
Smart people don't need to be told, they know what to do.
Yan Liu Li realized.
This person's strength was definitely not ordinary. He may even be more powerful than the Eight Masters.
Just the fact that he could obtain Gu Luo Li's body from so many people proved he was an exceptional master!
“I would like to ask for your help!”
She knelt on one knee, her request sincere.
