Chapter 692: Wushuang’s Whereabouts!
That night, in the Ye family villa, Shi Qianhan woke up from his coma. Before he could regain his consciousness, he heard a faint voice, “You’re awake?”
He then realized that he was lying on the bed.
A thin young man was sitting at the door. He was holding a bottle of Maotai and a glass. He seemed to be drinking alone.
“I-I’m not dead?”
Shi Qianhan had a complicated expression on his face. He seemed regretful and disappointed.
“With me around, it’s hard for you to die!”
Ye Chen drank a glass of wine and waved it through the air. The bottle of Maotai and the glass in front of him shot at Shi Qianhan, “Drink with me?”
“Alright!”
Shi Qianhan poured himself a glass and downed it in one gulp. A hint of warmth appeared on his cold and aged face, “Brother Ye, thank you for saving my life!”
He had already sensed that most of his injuries had recovered. Even the poison that the Xiao family had inflicted on him had been completely removed.
At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Ye Chen’s methods. After all, only the Xiao family had the antidote to the poison that they inflicted!
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, “You parted ways with me that day. The month-long promise is almost up. I thought you were dead. Never did I expect you to come as promised!”
Previously, Ye Chen had gone to Korea alone to look for Qianqian. In the end, he met Shi Qianhan at sea. Shi Qianhan was being hunted by the Xiao family and learned that the 10,000 Swords Pavilion was destroyed by them.
In order to save his junior sister, he killed his way into Shang Santian. Before he left, he got Ye Chen to take care of Qianqian and promised to return in a month.
“Die?”
A trace of sadness flashed across Shi Qianhan’s eyes, “Yu’er is dead, master and junior brothers are dead, and junior sister is imprisoned. To me, death is an incomparable luxury.”
Ye Chen frowned, “You haven’t saved your junior sister?”
“No!”
Shi Qianhan drank another glass of wine. Perhaps he had drunk too much and was coughing non-stop, “It was my incompetence. I charged into the Xiao family residence and caused the martial emperor of the family to break out of seclusion. He heavily injured me with a single palm strike and I was poisoned. I had no choice but to flee over 1,000 kilometers away!”
‘Martial emperor?’
Ye Chen’s expression froze when he heard that!
Li Xuanji was right. There really were Emperor Stage cultivators in Shang Santian!
He was well aware of Shi Qianhan’s strength. Even he had been severely injured by a single palm strike from a martial emperor. If Ye Chen were to encounter a martial emperor, the outcome of the battle would be uncertain. After all, his overall cultivation base was at most that of a peak martial venerable!
Ye Chen said, “What do you plan to do now?”
“I want to board the ghost ship!”
Shi Qianhan looked up at the sky with determination in his eyes, “My strength is limited. For the time being, I can only watch as junior sister is imprisoned. I only want to step onto the ghost ship and see Yu’er one last time. Once my enlightenment mind is perfected, I’ll definitely be crowned an emperor. At that time, I’ll kill my way into Shang Santian and destroy the Xiao family!”
After saying that, he drank another glass of wine with a dazed expression, “This is good wine, but it’s a pity that it can’t compare to Yu’er’s Hundred Flowers Wine. There’s no point in drinking it!”
The wine bottle and glass were returned to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen poured himself a glass and lifted his eyes to look at him, “What about the information I asked you to gather before you left that day?”
He was most concerned about Wushuang’s whereabouts, no matter life or death!
“Ye Wushuang?”
Shi Qianhan’s eyes focused. He took a good look at Ye Chen and said, “Brother Ye, may I ask what’s your relationship with this person?”
Ye Chen said, “He’s my brother!”
“No wonder you guys have the same surname Ye!”
Shi Qianhan’s pupils constricted slightly, and then he said, “There are ten great ancient families, three sects and four groups in Shang Santian, whereas the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak has produced a genius in the Sword Dao the past two months. This person is only 18 years old, yet he possesses the Sword Heart.”
Ye Chen was overjoyed!
It was Wushuang!
He was really alive!
No one could understand what he was feeling now!
However, he was puzzled because Wushuang had been taken away by an old beggar that called himself the master of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion, so how could he have appeared in the Sword Sect?
He asked this question.
“You mean the person who took Ye Wushuang away was an old beggar on a donkey?”
Shi Qianhan’s countenance changed slightly as he replied, “That’s my grandmaster, and he was also the previous 10,000 Swords Pavilion’s pavilion master. However, this grandmaster of mine has always been fond of having fun and has always displayed his unkempt appearance to others. Hence, even I’ve only seen him once.
It’s just that I’ve already been exiled from the 10,000 Swords Pavilion, so I didn’t know about grandmaster bringing Ye Wushuang back to the 10,000 Swords Pavilion!”
At this point, a pained expression appeared on his face, “Grandmaster was a man of justice. When our 10,000 Swords Pavilion was facing a calamity, the Xiao family’s martial emperor made a move. Grandmaster, a fake emperor, risked his life to protect the last shred of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion’s dignity!”
Fake Emperor!
Ye Chen was shocked!
He did not expect that the old beggar who took Wushuang away was a fake emperor!
“As for how Ye Wushuang survived the Xiao family and entered the Sword Sect, I’ve no idea about that!”
Shi Qianhan took a deep breath in and said, “The Sword Sect has a total of nine peaks. The first peak is the most powerful, and the ninth peak, the Humble Peak has long declined. However, in the past two months, a genius disciple from the Humble Peak, Ye Wushuang, defeated seven genius disciples in a row. Only Su Qilin from the first peak, the Heavenly Sword Peak can fight him!”
“Wait...”
A thought flashed through Ye Chen’s mind when he heard the name Su Qilin. He interrupted immediately, “Did you just say that the person from the first peak of the Sword Peak is called Su Qilin?”
If he remembered correctly, when he went to Yang City to bring Su Yuhan back that day, although he had wiped out the Su family completely, there was still one person whose whereabouts had yet to be found.
It was Su Qilin!
He was Su Yuhan’s cousin and Su Tao’s biological brother. He was taken away by a traveling Daoist priest when he was young and had never returned to the Su family.
“That’s right, it’s Su Qilin!”
Shi Qianhan seemed to be scared as he said, “This person possesses extraordinary natural talent, and he was taken as a direct disciple of the Sword Sect Master when he was young. He cultivated the sword at 10, comprehended the first sword intent at 12, and three sword intents at 15. He suppressed the seven peaks, and firmly sat at the top of the Sword Sect’s younger generation until now!”
Ye Chen secretly frowned when he heard that.
Based on Shi Qianhan’s information, there was no way he could confirm whether Su Qilin was the Su Qilin from the Su family.
“Brother Ye!”
Shi Qianhan suddenly said, “Even though this brother of yours is extraordinary in the Sword Sect, he’s still a member of my Humble Peak after all. Supposedly, the Humble Peak has been desolated for a few decades after the previous sect master passed away in meditation, and it’s impossible for him to be a match for the First Peak. Your brother’s future is worrying!”
“Don’t worry about it!”
Ye Chen’s expression was slightly cold. A killing intent that made one’s heart palpitate slowly emerged, “If the Sword Sect bullies my brother, I’ll destroy the Sword Sect!”
Shi Qianhan smiled and stood up, “It’s time for me to leave. It’s not good for Brother Ye if I stay here any longer. I owe Brother Ye my life. Once I fulfill my wish, Brother Ye can take my life at any time!”
Subsequently, he turned around and left in the darkness of the night!
It was clear-cut!
As for Qianqian, he did not mention her because he knew that instead of letting Qianqian follow him, he would rather let her be with Ye Chen!
Ye Chen watched him leave quietly and mumbled, “Wushuang, wait for me. You must wait for me. I’ll come and look for you after I’m done with my thing. I’ll do anything for you!”
