Chapter 733: Xin Wuji!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Dark Mysterious Snake and Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon were incredibly timely as they had regrouped with Qin Wushuang at the first designated point. Despite this, Qin Wushuang had no time to ask them about their recent battle situation.
It was because through the Observant Finger Jade Plate, he was seeing that three Supreme Dao elite warriors were tracking him and moving towards their direction.
The Observant Finger Jade Plate collects spiritual perception automatically. Therefore, Qin Wushuang easily judged that these few people were Xin Tianwu of the Heavenly Emperor Gate, Lei Yue of the Sound of Thunder Sect, and Luo Tongtian of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
“Goodness, two elite warriors at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, Xin Tianwen truly values me a lot!” Inwardly, Qin Wushuang felt funny. Since he had the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, he activated their flying speed to the maximum. His speed would not lose to the Supreme Dao elite warriors.
Most importantly, he possessed the Spiritual Power Pearl and would not need to take a break in the middle of his trip: he could trek for a long time. For such an advantage, even elite warriors of the Supreme Dao could not match up to him.
Therefore, for this competition of endurance, they were evenly matched.
Three days passed and he received Mu Rong Xu’s spiritual perception that she had already arrived at the Tortoise King Mountain. Following Qin Wushuang’s route instructions, she had successfully entered the cave.
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang felt greatly reassured and told her to wait at that cave quietly. He also told her not to worry for at most, he would be there in fifteen days.
As Mu Rong Xu arrived safely, it had reduced a lot of fears for the troubles in the rear for Qin Wushuang. He decided to have some fun with these people chasing after him.
Through numerous times of evolution, the appearance of the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings were no longer the same as before. They had no trouble supporting Qin Wushuang for long distance flying.
Qin Wushuang also felt incredibly strange. These Supreme Dao elite warriors were initially at the Qin Clan, how could they have locked onto his position and chased after him with such a clear and precise target?
“Before, at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, Xin Wuji had used a tracking talisman and was able to track me. Could it be that these Supreme Dao elite warriors are repeating the same trick? However, since they were attacking the Qin Clan and had surrounded the Aspiring Throne Mountain tens and thousands of miles away, how could they have used a tracking talisman on me?”
Qin Wushuang remained perplexed after much thought. Thinking back, from beginning to end, he did not make any contact with any true elite warriors head on during the process when he was attacking the Xin Clan. It would have been impossible for him not to notice if someone had planted on one him.
“Could it be that the defenses of the Heavenly Emperor Gate could plant tracking talismans automatically?” As Qin Wushuang thought of this, he thought it to be unlikely.
If the Xin Clan could plant tracking talismans through their defense strategies, then why did they not launch a surprise attack on him directly? When he entered the Xin Clan, the defenses were not active.
When the defenses were reactivated, he had already dashed out. Initially, he used the Graceful Spiritual Bow to open the path, how could the talisman approach him before the aura of the Graceful Spiritual Bow?
“No, it must not have been done by the defenses of the Xin Clan…” Qin Wushuang was trying to piece together the puzzle as he started to think carefully.
He went through the details from beginning to end. After he went out of the Qin Clan, he arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, caught his puppet, Xin Wuchou, and then he left the Heavenly Emperor Gate.
The first time running through the details, he did not find anything.
During the second time, when he thought of that Ruo Ping Fairy, Qin Wushuang felt a burst of uneasiness without any cause. All of a sudden, his heart thumped as he remembered the ball of mysteriousness earlier in his heart.
When he considered the meeting with this Ruo Ping Fairy later, he felt that something was not right. Now pondering with caution, he felt that there was a ball of suspicion during his time with Ruo Ping Fairy.
“Could it be that my problems stem from her?” Since Qin Wushuang had observed a trace of fishiness, he thought carefully of the conversation he had with that Ruo Ping Fairy.
“That woman said she shared a relationship with Xin Wuji. The truth is, that Xin Wuji has indeed, seduced Ruo Ping Fairy and used her to track me, this was true. Or else, how could he have escaped from that Ten Thousand Flower Valley and to chase to kill me? The words of this Ruo Ping Fairy should not be lies. However…” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang’s face froze. “She talked about taking Xin Wuji’s remains! Since Xin Wuji self-destructed himself, all of his body had shattered into nothingness and even his weapons had transformed into fine powder. How could she have picked up any remains? Could it be she had taken some mud from nearby the place he had exploded?”
Vividly, Qin Wushuang felt that something was wrong. “That woman was lying! When she appeared at the Heavenly Emperor Gate, certainly she wasn’t sending Xin Wuji’s remains. Instead, she must have had an ulterior motive. However, even if she had other motives, even if she carried the order of that old devilish woman, Miao Yun, to form an alliance with the Heavenly Emperor Gate to deal with the Qin Clan, that alliance would be foolish. How could the Emei Daoist Sect dare to cross the Forbidden Spiritual Zone and interfere with internal affairs of the Xuan Yuan Mound? Clearly it would be impossible!”
Crossing the Forbidden Spiritual Zone to interfere with internal affairs of the Xuan Yuan Mound was definitely something the Emei Daoist Sect would not dare to do. Instantly, Qin Wushuang rejected such a possibility.
“In the end, just what did that woman want?” Qin Wushuang instantly felt his head was going to explode. “If someone used a tracking talisman on me, this woman is the most suspicious. However, if the Emei Daoist Sect wants to assist the Heavenly Emperor Gate in secret, they would not just be sending a Senior disciple who can only do so much. For a conflict at the level of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, how could little Ruo Ping Fairy do anything?”
“Could it be that woman is not Ruo Ping Fairy, but someone from the Heavenly Emperor Gate? Could that commanding plate of the Emei Daoist Sect be fake?”
Qin Wushuang also felt this did not seem to be likely. The mainstream martial artists of the Heavenly Emperor Gate were all male. For female martial artists, besides Xin Tianwu, there were no other exceptional female martial artists.
Yet, that Ruo Ping Fairy did hold the power of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage and this was true. If she were a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Gate, she should be famous to have the strength of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage. How could he have never heard about her before. Therefore, that woman must be that Ruo Ping Fairy.
As Qin Wushuang thought of the scenario repeatedly, he could not find any threads. The only thing he was sure of was that most likely it was Ruo Ping Fairy who planted the tracking talisman on him.
“Indeed, this woman harbors unfathomable motives. At this moment, if I was not in a rush to attack the Heavenly Emperor Gate, if I had not considered my relationship with Ruolan, how could I have let her go so easily?” As Qin Wushuang thought of it this way, he could not refrain himself from looking at that Observant Finger Jade Plate.
“Hm? How could it be?” Instantly, Qin Wushuang was stunned.
In these few days, he had been paying attention to the tracking of those three major Supreme Dao elite warriors. He had not realized that under the cover of these three major Supreme Dao elite warriors, there appeared a slightly weaker spiritual perception.
This spiritual perception was indeed, that Ruo Ping Fairy he met at the Heavenly Emperor Gate!
What made Qin Wushuang most astonished was that vividly, the spiritual perception of this Ruo Ping Fairy seemed to be vaguely familiar!
“What’s going on?” Qin Wushuang felt it to be unimaginable. This had completely outdone his common sense. Since he met this Ruo Ping Fairy at the Heavenly Emperor Gate, Qin Wushuang was certain that he had never met her. How could he feel a sense of familiarity to her spiritual perception.
The most unexpected thing was that this burst of spiritual perception had appeared to be seemingly familiar and incredibly domineering. It caused Qin Wushuang to remember an incredibly terrifying person, a person that couldn’t possibly be there…
That’s right, it was Xin Wuji!
This spiritual perception caused Qin Wushuang to think of Xin Wuji!
Although it was more or less different than the Xin Wuji from the past, it was less flamboyant and more malicious.
There was a sense of evil that was inherited through generations.
If Qin Wushuang did not perceive carefully, he could not have tasted the subtle aspect within it. As soon as the doubt arose in his heart and upon repeatedly recognizing it, he discovered that this spiritual presence was of the same origin of that Xin Wuji.
However, this Observant Finger Jade Plate did show it to be Ruo Ping Fairy. Therefore, it caused Qin Wushuang to feel that his common sense had been toppled.
“Could there be a mistake with the Observant Finger Jade Plate?” Qin Wushuang felt it was somewhat impossible. Even a Supreme Dao elite warrior could not tamper with it. How could one Xin Wuji have so much capability?
“Ruo Ping Fairy said she had a one night with Xin Wuji, could it be the spiritual perception of these two could merge illicitly? This also seemed to be wrong. Unless they were a couple of martial artists who endured till the very last days of the world, their spiritual perception could not have merged. They would have each other. A one night fling couldn’t possibly affect this.
Qin Wushuang rejected this assumption with certainty.
However, how could he explain all of this?
Qin Wushuang decided to investigate his own situation with his divine power. If that tracking talisman was still present, he should be able to feel, even just a tiny trace of it.
He started to activate his divine power to sense the trace of the tracking talisman. Indeed, what made Qin Wushuang felt astonished was that this tracking talisman still carried Xin Wuji’s strong personal brand.
“Xin Wuji?” Qin Wushuang felt empty inside. “Could it be this Xin Wuji is not dead?”
As soon as he thought of this terrible thought, Qin Wushuang’s heart throbbed. Xin Wuji was not a Supreme Dao elite warrior for it would be impossible for his divine soul to leave his mind and body.
“Regardless, I must not keep this Ruo Ping Fairy! This person is too suspicious!” Qin Wushuang mumbled inwardly, “Perhaps, Xin Wuji also knew puppet skills and was controlling this Ruo Ping Fairy to make her obedient? Therefore there are too many tracks of Xin Wuji in her spiritual perception? Yet in this case, as soon as Xin Wuji died, the puppet control would be rid of and there would not be any signs of Xin Wuji.”
Since the presence of Xin Wuji was still present, there would be only one possibility. Xin Wuji was not dead!
Qin Wushuang muttered and swore. “This Xin Wuji self-destructed under my eyes and I did not see through it? It seems the son of the Heavenly Emperor did have some skills. I just don’t know how he, one at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, was he able to have his primordial spirit leave his body and still exist after robbing Ruo Ping Fairy’s body?”
Now, Qin Wushuang was almost certain that this Xin Wuji must not have died! He must have used Ruo Ping Fairy’s body to resurrect himself.
“It’s no wonder that when I was a the Karakorum Immortal Clan, I did not see this Ruo Ping Fairy. Since she was the Senior disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect and the ruler of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, how could she not have appeared? It must be… It must be!”
A trace of regret flashed across Qin Wushuang’s heart. Initially he was in a rush to attack the Heavenly Emperor Gate and neglected this Ruo Ping Fairy! Unexpectedly, it was Xin Wuji under his eyes!
“Certainly that Xin Wuji was afraid of me or else why would he have used the identity of Ruo Ping Fairy to feign civility with me? It’s good that you are not dead, I will send you on your way this time!”
A vicious thought flashed across Qin Wushuang as the murderous intentions from his heart spurted like the tide.
