1083 The bewildered Eldest Senior(Chapter preview)

"Did you find anything?" Sima You Yue said.

Shi Qian Zhi and Shi Qiu Shuang shook their heads, "Those people are extremely clean, they didn't leave anything behind. It seems like they came here ready to die."

"Could they be the suicide soldiers of some power?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Probably not just one." Shi Qian Zhi said, "Although they didn't leave anything behind, we still found something strange. They're not from a single power."

"Then it can only mean that a few powers have colluded together to do this in the Immortal Land." Sima You Yue said, "It's your poison! Don't you have any leads based on that?"

Shi Qian Zhi and Shi Qiu Shuang exchanged glances as they fell silent for a moment before saying, "There are indeed two people that are worthy of suspicion, but it's impossible for it to be them."

"Why?"

"One of them is already dead, and the other is my master." Shi Qian Zhi said, "The dead do not speak, much less be able to set me up. And it's even more impossible for it to be my master."

Sima You Yue furrowed her eyebrows, saying, "Based on what you said, it's impossible. But the truth is that it's happened. I think you'll have to think harder to find other suspicious people."

"That's the only way." Shi Qian Zhi said, "Sigh, because of this, I don't even have the time to find a fortuitous circumstance."

Sima You Yue didn't empathise with him, "Who asked you to do so many bad things! You see, this is called karma! Got it?"

"Look at how happy you are! You just enjoy watching the world burn!" Shi Qian Zhi rolled his eyes.

"I didn't say that." Sima You Yue denied it, but she did indeed think this way.

"Although you didn't say it, the expression on your face says it all. Look at that smirk!" Shi Qian Zhi exposed her, "I don't know how I ended up becoming friends with someone like you!"

"I'm thinking the same thing. If it wasn't because you kept pestering me, would we have become friends?" Sima You Yue said.

"I kept pestering you? How could that be! I'm cool, calm, composed and suave. How could I possibly pester you into becoming my friend!" Shi Qian Zhi began his narcissistic speech.

"Qiu Shuang, do you believe him? You don't, right?" Sima You Yue ignored him and turned her gaze towards Shi Qiu Shuang.

Shi Qiu Shuang smiled but she didn't reply to her question. It was a tacit approval.

"You guys have remained in the inner regions, so did you realise anything different about any powers?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Apart from carrying out our mission, we don't usually pay attention to what others are doing." Shi Qian Zhi said, "If you really want to ask, the others from the sect will be clearer on this."

Alright then, she could tell at a glance that the both of them were those who got others to do the work for them. They wouldn't interfere with others.

"Why would you ask this?" Shi Qiu Shuang asked.

"Quite a bit has happened recently, and they all have to do with the inner region. I can't help but suspect that there's a power messing around somewhere?" Sima You Yue said, "You guys saw what happened in Cloud Sea City the last time. Apart from this, those from the Divine Devil Valley had also been plotted against, almost having other powers take revenge on them. Right now, something like this is happening…"

"Send men to check this out once we're back." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "Don't make too big of a commotion. It's not possible that we can't get a single clue."

"Mmm hmm, you guys are in the inner region, so it would be best for you to check it out." Sima You Yue said, "Oh right, about that…"

"What?"

"How is Eldest Senior Brother?" Sima You Yue asked.

"He's alright. He slapped everyone's faces back at Cloud Sea City. Later on, the Jiang Clan sent men to look for him, wanting to take him back to the clan, but he refused their intentions. He even said that he would kill every single one of the Jiang Clansmen he saw." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "Although they were angry, the Jiang Clansmen were unable to do anything to him. After all, the Jiang Clan still doesn't dare to touch us."

"Then… what about the sky splitter?" Sima You Yue asked, "Does your father still hold onto it?"

The moment she mentioned the sky splitter, Shi Qiu Shuang's expression fell. Her face filled with helplessness as she said, "Father has becoming increasingly muddled these few days. Everyday he holds on to the sky splitter and doesn't let it go. He constantly roars about killing and things like that too."

"Then is he still considered lucid?"

"He still kind of is, I think." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "However, the last time I went to look for him, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with killing intent. It's as if apart from wanting to kill, he has no other thoughts. I think that if this continues on, I'm afraid that he will be controlled by the devil sword."

"Do you blame Eldest Senior Brother?" Sima You Yue asked.

If Jiang Jun Xian didn't bring the devil sword back with him, this would never have happened.

Shi Qiu Shuang shook her head, "Finding the Sky Splitter Devil Sword has always been the mission of the Mystical Dragon sect. If I want to blame anyone, I can only blame my father for not being resolute enough and unable to manage the lure of the devil sword."

"I told you before that if it were possible, it would be best for you to toss the devil sword out." Sima You Yue said, "Otherwise, you can seal it away forever. Otherwise, it will bring a huge calamity."

When she thought of this, she particularly wanted to grab Jiang Jun Xian and fight him. If he had not insisted on bringing the sky splitter out, why would they need to worry about what would happen next?

However, she thought about why he would want to do that, which was because he didn't want to take Little Seven back and end up hurting her, Han Miao Shuang and the others.

Sigh, in order to avoid hurting her, he chose to hurt someone else. She didn't know to be happy or mad.

"He came in this time as well." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "However, he didn't go with us. He left on his own."

"Why?" Sima You Yue was rather worried. If he went off on his own, wasn't that asking for death?

"No idea. He said that he wanted to be alone. He's just that stubborn. He won't listen to us." Shi Qian Zhi said.

"I feel like after he proved how blind the Jiang Clan was and Jiang Jun Zhe and his parents died, he became a little lost." Shi Qiu Shuang said.

"Revenge had been his sole motivator. Now that he lost his motivation, he's a little aimless." Shi Qian Zhi said.

Sima You Yue understood this. Not everyone knew what they really wanted. Revenge was what kept them going. Once they completed their revenge, they would lose themselves, not sure of what they wanted to do or where they wanted to go.

But the most surprising thing was that Jian Jun Xian would also go through it. She thought of how lazy he always appeared and felt a little bad for him.

Sigh, this senior brother of hers…

Because the people of the Kong Valley were hurt, they had no choice but to rest and tend to their wounds for the next two days. It was a good thing that Old Ape said that those people were still around and hadn't gone far.

A few days later, Kong Xiang Yi's wounds were pretty much completely healed. Kong Xiang Qi's had also recovered completely. Old Ape said that those people were on the move, and at an extremely fast speed at that. So, Sima You Yue and the others decided to set out again to see whether those people were from the Zong Zheng Clan or the Yin Yang Palace.
