Chapter 350 The Young Singer's Journey 19
"Thanks to you, I no longer want to return to the Outer Heavens. Now I'm all alone; not only can I not be your help, but I'll become a problem for you, and a very big one at that. However—"
At this point, Wuxin paused, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yu with a hint of inquiry: "With your cultivation level, it seems you don't need my help, do you?"
Xiao Yu remained calm, gently placing his teacup on the table, his tone leisurely: "So I didn't expect you to be able to help me in any way."
He paused slightly, then abruptly changed the subject, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes: "But you must come with me to a place."
"Where?" Wuxin's curiosity was piqued, and he asked.
Xiao Yu smiled but remained silent.
……
Recently, the martial arts world has suddenly fallen into panic because of one thing.
The golden coffin that came out of Hanshan Temple is gone, and the contents of the coffin have also disappeared.
This news quickly spread throughout the martial arts world, shocking those who knew the secret of the golden coffin.
Major powers such as the Nine Dragons Temple, the Honglu Temple, and the Outer Heaven have been searching for Wuxin's whereabouts.
They searched almost every corner Wuxin might have gone, and even arranged for people to keep a close watch on him at Dafanyin Temple, but they still couldn't find any trace of Wuxin.
There was no other way but for them to intensify their search efforts and increase manpower to continue the search.
As the search team grew larger, the commotion it caused in the martial arts world also grew, unsurprisingly attracting more attention and speculation.
Those martial arts practitioners who were unaware of the truth began to panic upon seeing this.
Especially after the people from Tianwaitian secretly arrived in Beili, they felt even more panicked and uneasy, thinking that the Demonic Sect was about to launch another eastern expedition.
……
Snow Moon City, atop the Cangshan Mountains.
“Every time I play chess with you, my chessboard always suffers an undeserved disaster.” Sikong Changfeng looked at the hole in the chessboard and shook his head with a sigh.
Li Hanyi seemed to be in another world, completely ignoring Sikong Changfeng's sigh. Only after Sikong Changfeng made his move did he use his sword energy to poke a hole in the chessboard.
"You should have taken the lead this time. Although Tang Lian is the most outstanding disciple of Snow Moon City, how could she possibly handle so many experts?"
"Hey! The chief said that we should give young people more opportunities to gain experience."
Li Hanyi unleashed another sword strike at the chessboard, and just as she was about to speak again, a carrier pigeon fluttered down in front of Sikong Changfeng.
Sikong Changfeng looked at the carrier pigeon with a slight surprise. He took the note off the pigeon's leg and his expression immediately became serious.
"Tianwaitian failed to take that monk away as he wished," Sikong Changfeng said in a deep voice.
“There must be something else going on, otherwise you wouldn’t look so pale,” Li Hanyi said bluntly.
"The White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis were originally able to take the monk away, but a mysterious person suddenly appeared halfway there. Not only did he severely injure the two of them with a single move, but he also told the monk about Ye Dingzhi's past."
"Oh? He severely injured the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis in one move?" Li Hanyi became interested, her hand unconsciously stroking the Iron Horse Ice River: "Who is that person?"
"I don't know." Sikong Changfeng shook his head: "Moreover, the monk has also disappeared without a trace."
"I originally guessed that if he left, he might go to Dafanyin Temple, after all, it was his master's hometown. However, he did not go there, nor did he return to Hanshan Temple. There was no news of him in the martial arts world, as if he had suddenly vanished into thin air."
"Even the spider web has no news of him?" Li Hanyi asked.
The Spider Web of Snowmoon City is known as having the best intelligence network in the world; nothing in the martial arts world can be hidden from the Spider Web.
However, Sikong Changfeng could only shake his head helplessly: "...No."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke again: "Besides that, something else has happened in the martial arts world recently."
Li Hanyi gripped her sword without speaking, only looking at Sikong Changfeng with her clear, bright eyes, which made the latter helpless, shaking his head repeatedly:
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Dark River recently received a big order, and in order to complete it, Dark River mobilized almost its entire force. However, all the people who went on the mission failed. The head of Dark River is extremely angry about this and may personally take action."
"Who are they trying to kill?" Li Hanyi pressed.
“It’s that mysterious person,” Sikong Changfeng replied.
Li Hanyi's eyes shone even brighter, and her whole body exuded a chilling sword aura.
Dark River is the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world, with countless masters. No matter who you are, there is only one fate if you are targeted by Dark River: death.
But how could this mysterious man not only escape unscathed when all the elites of the Dark River came out, but also kill the newcomers? Just how high is his martial arts skill?
"Who exactly is this mysterious person?"
Sikong Changfeng said, "If I knew, I wouldn't call him the mysterious man. But don't worry, I'll have Spider Web investigate."
"But before that, we need to find out where that monk is."
……
Wuxin sat on the carriage shaft, driving the carriage with a large straw hat on his head. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt: "You asked me to go to Snowmoon City with you just so you would make me your coachman?"
When Xiao Yu told him about going to Snow Moon City that day, he thought Xiao Yu wanted to hand him over to Snow Moon City.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu said, "Yesterday when I gave you a choice, I told you not to worry about anyone, and I will naturally keep my word. As for resolving your issue, starting with Snowmoon City is the most suitable approach."
After hearing these words, he was inevitably moved and impulsively agreed to Xiao Yu's request.
However, to his utter surprise, after he agreed, Xiao Yu immediately dismissed the original coachman.
It's pitiful that this exceptionally handsome young monk ended up as Xiao Yu's coachman.
Not only did he have to travel on the carriage every day, covered in dust, but he also had to deal with assassins from the underground river from time to time, while Xiao Yu stayed comfortably in the carriage the whole time.
Wuxin felt increasingly aggrieved and couldn't help but complain, "Xiao Yu, are you doing this on purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled slightly, his voice coming through the curtain: "Don't worry about these details."
Wu Xin Wu Yu: "Now I finally understand why someone would be willing to go to any lengths to hire Dark River to take your life. You're just too annoying."
Hearing Wuxin's complaint, Xiao Yu laughed even more heartily: "It's not that someone is willing to give everything, but that I myself am willing to give everything."
"What did you say?" Wuxin suddenly pulled on the reins, stopping the carriage. He almost squeezed half his body into the carriage, staring at Xiao Yu in astonishment: "You placed the order with Dark River yourself?"
Xiao Yu nodded calmly.
Wu Xin stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out four words through gritted teeth: "Are you sick?!"
