Chapter Six: The Mysterious Person Appears

  "You said you used it to play with water...?" Gu Xi squeezed out these words from between his teeth, his stern eyes scanning Ling Wushuang up and down, containing a fierce light, the hand behind his back clenched so tightly that his veins bulged.

  Ling Wusuo rubbed his chin, looking like he was deep in thought, but actually ignoring Gu Xi's nearly frantic expression. He nodded slightly after a moment, "It should be."

  "You little scoundrel, don't try to play tricks on me, or else you'll be the one who suffers in the end." Gu Xi took a deep breath, his old face as cold as ice.

  He is also a seasoned person and will not believe whatever Ling Wu Shuang says.

  Ling Wushuang's expression suddenly turned surprised, but at an angle where no one could see, her red lips subtly curled up with a hint of a smile. "I don't understand what you mean, sir. Didn't I say before that if you liked it, I would give it to you? You were the one who didn't want it back then, so why are you saying now that I won't give it to you?"

  Ling Wushuang's words of "heartache and indignation" made Gu Xi's old face suddenly tense, choking him so that he couldn't say a word.

  Come to think of it, that's indeed what the kid said before, but at that time, he simply thought that thing was a piece of junk.

  "You actually dared to throw it away!" Gu Xi stared at the calm lake surface, his face extremely ugly, "Damn it!"

  But this also can't blame him for finding fault with nothing, he also left for a long time before suddenly feeling that something was wrong.

  Generally, in the midst of the device's stone, no energy fluctuations can be detected. There are two possibilities: one is that the thing doesn't have any energy at all and is a defective product; the other possibility is that the energy is too special and has already exceeded his range of perception. As someone who has already reached the level of a secondary god, he never thought it would be the latter!

  Later, after thinking about it some more, he really felt that thing was extremely familiar, and went back to flip through all sorts of ancient books, finally finding it!

  "With a low curse, Gu Xi came without thinking much, and several people had not reacted yet. He jumped into the lake with a loud splash, and his golden figure disappeared from everyone's sight."

  Ling Wushuang was also taken aback, rubbing his nose, muttering to himself, what is this thing that makes Gu Xi so concerned.

  "Jun Ling, you..." Bai Lan's face was filled with black lines.

  He knew that Jun Ling was playing with Gu Xi, an elder who had never seen such a big temper. Gu Xi was a ruthless and cunning master, even the Holy Master would give him three points of courtesy.

  Ling Wushuang glanced at the two people in a knot and chuckled, "It's not like I made him jump, I didn't force him"

  Looking at Ling Wushuang's indifferent expression, Bai Lian's mouth twitched violently.

  "Whoosh——"

  The calm lake surface broke open, and Gu Xi rushed out of the holy lake with a wet body, his face was already beyond pale.

  Bai Leng glanced at Gu Xi, whose face was somewhat ferocious, and expressionlessly touched his head, secretly wiping away cold sweat. At this time, Jun Ling actually still managed to smile.

  In front of him, Gu Xi's hair was disheveled and white, tied up in a messy bun. His luxurious golden robes were soaked through, with water droplets still falling from the hem. There, he was biting onto some unknown creature, probably one of the aquatic beasts raised in the Sacred Lake, looking utterly ridiculous.

  She twisted her pretty face, lowered her head, wanting to smile but not daring to, her face flushed with a red glow, looking like she was holding back with great difficulty.

  Ling Wu's eyes widened in surprise, and she enthusiastically took the initiative to ask, "Sir, haven't you found it?"

  Ancient Xi saw the movement at his feet, lifted one foot and kicked a fish-like creature that was biting his clothes into mush. His forehead throbbed violently as he jumped up 7 or 8 stories high. "You little stinker, you're playing tricks on me!"

  He almost searched all over this area of water, but found nothing. A stone can still grow legs and run away!

  "How could I deceive you, sir?" Ling Wu Xuan blinked his eyes. "I was clearly thrown here, why don't you take another look? This water has many strange and mysterious creatures, perhaps I was swallowed by them unintentionally."

  Gu Xi's face stiffened, staring fixedly at Ling Wushuang in front of him with a calm expression, almost vomiting blood.

  However, Ling Wu Shuang's words were also reasonable. In this Holy Lake, many water-based Xuan beasts did indeed exist. If they were swallowed by these creatures, it would be uncertain, but if that was the case, then this thing would really be a waste of effort. After all, one couldn't drain the water from the Holy Lake and catch these Xuan beasts one by one to dissect their abdomens.

  His face twisted in anger, he suddenly swung his arm and roared, "It's all your doing!"

  "That's not right, this is what you didn't want yourself!" Ling Wushuang slightly shrugged her shoulders and repeated what she had said before. The meaning was that it was something you didn't want yourself, so what does it have to do with me? What can I do about it?!

  "Hmph—" Gu Xi let out a cold hum, even though he was drenched from head to toe and looked utterly disheveled, he still managed to maintain an air of superiority.

  If it weren't for before, this kid had intended to give that thing to him, today, he would certainly suspect that he had secretly hidden it away.

  Ling Wu's eyes slightly dimmed as he asked, "But what exactly is that thing? Why didn't you want it earlier, and now you're so tense?"

  Ling Wushuang asked sincerely this time, but she really didn't know what that Qing Shui Shi was. However, seeing Gu Xi attach such importance to it, even just now, he didn't care about his old face and directly jumped into the lake to search for it, it must not be an ordinary thing.

  Gu Xi gritted his teeth, his eyes still fixed on the vast Sacred Lake. He waved his sleeve robe in annoyance and growled, "You know nothing! Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!"

  At this time, it was a heart-wrenching and hair-pulling moment. His heart was almost bleeding with grief. He had been searching for treasures all day long, but unexpectedly, due to a moment of carelessness, he missed such a precious treasure by a hair's breadth.

  Ling Wushuang blinked her eyes and said, "You didn't say, how would I know that I don't know?"

  Bai Lan stood on one side, cold sweat breaking out all over her face, fearing that Gu Xi would get angry and strike with a poisonous hand.

  "Shut up, you! Shut up!" Gu Xi pointed at Ling Wushuang, his whole body trembling with rage. What he least wanted to see right now was Ling Wushuang's innocent face.

  Such a treasure was actually thrown away by this damn little brat with his hands, and you still have no reason to blame others!

  "...Ling Wu's eyebrows slightly raised, "If that's the case, then we won't disturb you anymore. You can try searching again, maybe you'll find something."

  The old man's face twitched, a wave of unwillingness surged up on his face, he gritted his teeth fiercely and suddenly plunged into the Holy Lake once again.

  "It's none of our business, let's go." Ling Wushuang smiled and turned around with his hands clasped behind his back, gesturing for Bai Liancai to leave together.

  When she saw Ling Wushuang's harmless smile, Bai Lian felt a sudden chill behind her back. She looked at the calm lake surface and saw Ruyu's elegant face slightly **. Then she turned around and followed Ling Wushuang's footsteps. Before long, several people disappeared into the bustling crowd.

  That night, in the Holy Lake, there were continuous movements of people rising and falling. After Gu Xi had searched several times to no avail, it seemed that a large number of people had been mobilized again. In the quiet and peaceful night, the calm lake water was disturbed.

  Ling Wu Xue felt several unusual auras around her as soon as she left the Holy Lake, and immediately reacted, realizing that someone was watching her!

  "White brother, Cai Yi, you two go back to the mansion first, I still have some things to take care of, I'll head back later." Ling Wu Xiang smiled casually at the two of them as he sidled away.

  "Is that Ling?" Bai Lian withdrew her gaze from scanning the surroundings, turned to Ling Wushuang with a look of surprise, pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. However, she didn't ask any more questions, smiled slightly, and casually instructed, "Be careful yourself."

  "Hmm—" Ling Wu's eyes gleamed with a deep light, and he nodded slightly.

  At this time, it was already approaching midnight, and the holy city was filled with a warm glow of lights, but there were fewer people strolling on the streets.

  Bai Lian and Cai Yi left, Ling Wu Shuang's face suddenly sank, summoning the Lion Eagle King, turning over and jumping up.

  The Lion Hawk King's speed was extremely fast, and everyone only felt a dark light flash around them before he disappeared. However, the few figures in the dark were immediately alerted, like vengeful spirits, and turned to chase after him.

  The Lion Eagle King rode the wind and rose, flying out of the Holy City and then dashing into the Qingyun Mountain Range.

  Ling Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and if possible, she would have liked to make a detour to temporarily shake off these people. If that was not possible, the Holy City was not a place for violence, so she chose to leave the city heading in the direction of Qingyun Mountain Range.

  A fleeting figure behind him, seemingly with the shadow of a flying beast, even comparable to the speed of the Lion Eagle King. Especially after leaving the city, they seemed to have no scruples, closely pursuing Ling Wu Shuang's back!

  However, Ling Wushuang soon discovered that something was off. She seemed to be locked onto by a power similar to divine sense and couldn't shake off the people behind her.

  "Go down" Ling Wu's eyes flashed with a cold light, the Lion Eagle King landed, its agile limbs like a swift cheetah, rapidly running and jumping in the jungle, the night wind lifted the ink hair on its back, dancing wildly in the wind.

  "Do you want to escape?" Suddenly, a strange voice rang out.

  The Lion Griffin suddenly turned around and stopped, in front of its massive body was a Xuan Beast of the same size, two huge heads appeared terrifying in the dark night.

  Ninth-level Sacred Realm Xuan Beast, Double-headed Demon Eagle!

  A black-robed figure stood on the back of the Double-headed Demon Eagle, and then several black figures, about a dozen or so, quickly appeared around Ling Wu Shuang, tightly wrapping her in the middle.

  "It's a sharp little guy, interesting, and it's the first time someone has discovered me" The person on top of the Double-Headed Demon Eagle should be the leader of this group, with a rough and strange tone, showing great interest in Ling Wu Xiang.

  "Give up, you can't escape, come with us quietly."

  "Who said I'm running away?" Ling Wu Xuan sat tall on the back of the Lion Eagle King, a hint of mockery in his clear and cold eyes.

  This group of people is definitely not from the Holy Temple, because among the dozen or so people around her, they are all high-ranking saints. And as for the one on the Double-Headed Demon Eagle, she can even feel that it's almost on par with Gu Xi. Even if it were the Holy Temple, they wouldn't be able to come up with such a lineup!

  "Hahaha, this time, there's finally someone who meets my expectations" The hooded figure in black on the Double-Headed Demon Eagle let out a strange laugh, and it seemed like you could still hear the sound of him licking his lips, "This little guy's body is really making me look forward to it"

  Ling Wushuang's eyes suddenly sank, and he really didn't like being treated as a prey to be sized up. He wanted to give him a sentence: "I'll have you know your mother!"

  However, as a civilized person, she just coldly laughed and said, "You think you can?"

  Her current strength is still worth a try, let alone she has two genuine divine-level masters, Death God Puppet!

  The person on the Double-headed Demon Eagle sneered with a somewhat sinister tone, "Since you refuse to cooperate, I have no choice but to take action"

  A group of people were clearly well-trained, and before the double-headed eagle had even given an order, several black chains shot out from their hands with a force that could pierce bone, accurately striking Ling Wu Shuang on the back of the Lion Eagle King!

  Ling Wusuo let out a cold laugh, and with a sudden burst of strength, she sprang up into the air, her smaller body leaping high above the ground. With ease, she dodged their sneak attack, her entire being radiating an aura that poured out without reserve. Facing a group of high-ranking saints, she had to be cautious.

  This time she hasn't found an opportunity to take action yet, today, let's try our hand with them!

  "A Ninth-Grade Saint!" The person on the Double-Headed Demon Eagle's eyes lit up, followed by a loud laugh that shook the mountains and forests. "I didn't even notice it myself, this time is really full of surprises!" His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he shouted, "Catch him!"

  A dozen or so people, all of them high-ranking saints, among whom there were saints who were just as strong as Ling Wushuang, a ninth-rank peak saint!

  "Yes"

  "They actually dared to resist" The disdain in their eyes was palpable, and with a flick of their wrist, the black chains in their hands seemed to come alive, writhing like snakes through the night air as they shot towards Ling Wusuo, who had leapt into mid-air.

  Ling Wushuang's body quickly retreated, and his spiritual awareness was far beyond what anyone could have anticipated.

  "But so what" Ling Wu Shuang snorted, escaping the range after which he raised his hand and lightly flipped it, causing a huge fire lotus illusion to float out around him. He slightly raised his wrist, urging on his entire body's Xuan Li, shouting clearly, "Fierce Fire Kindles Golden Lotus!"

  Boom!

  A dozen or so cloud-like flames appeared, shrinking to the size of a palm in an instant. The crimson and golden colors flowed and transformed into streams of light in the black-robed youth's hand, shooting towards the dozen or so people who had just leapt into mid-air!

  The power of this blow, the degree of terror, was beyond what a group of people had expected. As high-ranking saints themselves, they were unexpectedly unable to muster the will to resist. In a daze, their pupils constricted involuntarily as wave after wave of attacks came suddenly and violently crashed down on them.

  "Pffft——"

  Constantly, the sound of flesh being pierced echoed, accompanied by muffled groans and cries. Those who attempted to attack Ling Wu Shuang's group stumbled and fell to the ground one after another.

  "What!" The people on the Double-Headed Demon Eagle stared with eyes wide in disbelief, this youth was only a 9th-grade Saint, yet he had taken down over ten people of the same rank as him with just one hand, how was this possible!

  "Knock knock—"

  The air was filled with the smell of char, and those who fell to the ground were either killed instantly or seriously injured. Only a few people managed to narrowly escape death.

  Ling Wushuang casually grasped the air, and a blazing spear spun out, its tip pointing at a line of people, tauntingly raised. He hooked his lips and said, "Is this all you've got?"

  She is now at the peak of a 9th rank Saint, and with the Chaotic Fire that she has cultivated, even those at the quasi-God level must be careful in dealing with her, let alone ordinary Saints. Such people, one comes and she annihilates one, two come and she annihilates two!

  "You stinky little brat, you're simply asking for death!" The leader of the Twin-headed Demon Eagles revealed an excited yet infuriated expression, "This is what you get for seeking it yourself!"

  Before the words had fallen, the person on the Double-headed Demon Eagle suddenly lifted their foot and kicked fiercely, stirring up a whirlwind around them. With a whooshing sound, they flew through the air towards Ling Wu Xiang.

  Ling Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and as a whole person, he was at least quasi-divine level, his strength absolutely not below Gu Xi's, and it was even possible that he was an authentic divine rank!

  She actually wanted to know that with her current strength, she could exchange a few moves with him. Most importantly, having such an opportunity to cross hands might be useful for her breakthrough, or maybe not.

  "Arrogant little brat!" A massive wave of energy emanated from the leader's body, enveloping and immobilizing Ling Wu Xiong.

  "What's going on?" Ling Wushuang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, her eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and the air around her seemed to freeze, giving her a feeling of being trapped in a swamp.

  "You ignorant little brat, I'll show you the consequences of resisting us!" The black-clothed leader let out a strange, mocking laugh. With this mob here, they actually still dare to resist them!

  Ling Wushuang was vigilant at the same time, quickly sensing the situation around him. Suddenly, his eyes gleamed brightly, "Could it be... the power of space?"
