Chapter 172 – Bloody

“Why did Miss Ye Ruoxuan leave without a word? Did something happen between you two?” Zi Baiying asked curiously.

“We’re currently on a mission. This isn’t the time for such questions.” Qin Yefeng immediately changed the subject.

Seeing that Qin Yefeng had no intention of speaking, Zi Baiying walked over to Ye Ruoxuan and inquired about the mission to eliminate the attackers.

“It’s been a few days, Miss Ye Ruoxuan, and your cultivation has improved quite a bit. Do you have any leads regarding this attack on the Holy Sun Sect’s Mountain Patrol Disciples?” Zi Baiying asked as she approached Ye Ruoxuan.

“I’m not entirely clear myself, but when the Mountain Patrol Disciples were attacked, one managed to escape death and return to the Holy Sun Sect to report. However, he only managed to utter the word ‘Heaven’ before falling silent and dying!”

“‘Heaven’?” Zi Baiying’s brows furrowed. Then, as if remembering something, her face filled with astonishment. “Could it be the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Holy Sun Sect’s sworn enemy in the Eastern Region, the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

“My master also had this suspicion, which is why he sent Liu Yan and me, both in the Purple Mansion Realm, along with three guilds, to investigate thoroughly. We need to find out who is behind this, challenging the Holy Sun Sect’s prestige in the Eastern Region!” Ye Ruoxuan glared angrily into the black mist.

“Alright, Sister Baiying, you and the Dragon Soaring the World Guild will act together. I’ll go ahead and investigate what’s happening up front.”
