C91 Shen Huiyang

Ever since he was severely injured by two mysterious masked men in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest a month ago, this was Shen Jingyang's first time walking freely in the Qing Qiu Mountains. After a month of healing in Taixuan, the inner strength cultivation realm had returned to its normal state. Furthermore, it had managed to cultivate the overlord treasure — the Myriad Arrows Return Sect's secret bow. This greatly increased the might of the Dark Bow.

In this world where every person wielded a Divine Weapon, he had never possessed a proper weapon before. He had used an extremely ordinary iron sword in the Tai Hua Altar, and originally, he had hoped to become one of the three disciples of Taixuan, obtaining the Hidden Azure Sword, but the jade ions had chased him away with the jade sword. All these years, compared to the six true disciples of the Supreme Mystery Capital, the Heavenly Thunder Zither, and the Star Inheritance, his ordinary sword was not worth mentioning at all. A year ago, Guest Warrior Xin, the leader of the Cloud Sage Temple, gifted him a hidden bow. It was one of the supreme divine weapons of the Six Realms, but the lack of arrows from the hidden bow greatly reduced its power. Now, with the thousands of arrows bestowed by the treasure scroll, the hidden bow was able to display the true might of the ancient weapon.

In front of him was a rocky mountain with a deep ravine in the distance. It was extremely tough and durable, like a vicious beast standing there. Shen Jingyang suddenly thought to himself, why don't I try and see just how powerful these ten thousand arrows are? Therefore, he made Yu Yin step back a little while and recited the incantation in silence. He slowly closed his palms and a strange shaped dark brown sharp arrow suddenly appeared. At this moment, the Dark Bow on his back was faintly discernable. Shen Jingyang pulled out the hidden bow on his back, the bowstring emitting a brilliant light, causing one to feel a sense of fear when looking at it. With his right hand holding the bow, the arrow shot out from his left hand was aimed at the huge rock in the distance. With a "sou" sound, the arrow shot out like a shadow of light, bringing with it a strong, unyielding aura. As far as the eye could see, there were tens of thousands of arrows flying towards the huge rock. With a loud bang, not only did the huge rock explode, but the entire mountain exploded as if it was an earth-shattering scene. Dense stones fell from the sky like drizzling rain, covering the path in front of them.

Such tremendous power made even Shen Jingyang dumbstruck. Yu Yin, who was standing to the side, became even more panicked and panicked. He looked at the hidden bow in his hand in a daze, "I never thought that this hidden bow, which was equipped with over ten thousand arrows, would actually have such a great power. If I had practiced this art earlier, then the two evil people in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest wouldn't have been so difficult to deal with!"

Only then did Yu Yin calm down and walk to his side, "Shooting Sun, remember you said that the Ten Thousand Arrows returned to the sect only has five arrows. This is probably the most powerful one, right?"

"Haha, to think that you and I have been wandering together for so many years, yet you are so unimaginative." Shen Jingyang laughed heartily, then placed the hidden bow on his back. In an instant, the hidden bow faintly disappeared, "To tell you the truth, the five arrows that came from the Ten Thousand Arrows Returning Sect are respectively Seventh Killer, Broken Army, Greedy Wolf, Heaven Breaker, and Giant Gate, and this bow is the weakest Seventh Killer." Saying up to here, Shen Jingyang's eyes flickered as he looked at Yu Yin. His expression seemed to say: How is it? Only now do I know how amazing I am!

Seeing him in such a state, Yu Yin chuckled. She pursed her lips and muttered, "Ha, so you're actually so powerful. I won't have to be afraid if I follow you in the future." This shy voice was like the wind chimes in the west wind, crisp and clear, gently caressing Shen Jingyang's heart.

Looking at the stone mountain in the distance, it seemed as if it had been hacked in half by some supernatural power. Half of the mountain had already been razed to the ground, leaving only broken pieces of stone lying on the ground.

They continued on their way. Just as Gu Xueluo and Jiu Tang predicted, Shen Jingyang and Yu Yin headed in the direction of Taihua Rock's Cave of Absolute Mountain.

They had already entered Taihua Rock's territory, but Shen Jingyang could clearly see that Yuyin's footsteps seemed to be hesitating. There were faint traces of worry on her face, and her worries were written all over her face. He was getting closer and closer to the Tai Hua Altar. The Jade Emperor Altar's master was a burden that Jade Concealed couldn't be avoided no matter how hard he tried. At that time, when the Beast Fighting Team of Hanhai was stuck in Fengling Crossing, Yuyin had accidentally determined that Lady Peach Blossom and YuIon were his biological parents. This matter was like a heavy rock that had always pressed down on Yuyin's heart. Now that he had arrived at Taihua Altar, he couldn't help but think of the jade ions in his heart.

"Yuyin, don't think too much. When a boat arrives at the bridge, it's natural to be straightforward. Why do you have so many burdens in your heart?" Shen Jingyang didn't know how to comfort her, and could only try his best to not let her worry about these troublesome matters, "It should come sooner or later. If you think too much, it'll only add to your worries." Shen Jingyang gently held Yu Yin's hand and pulled her forward.

Yu Yin smiled faintly, her face pale and clear as she said lightly: "Do you really think that I hurt my soul because of this? They have never cared about me, so why would I care about them? Whether or not we can recognize each other in the future is all up to fate …" Yu Yin bit her lips, trying her best to hold back her sorrowful emotions and did not continue speaking.

The mountain path in the Taihua Mountains became more and more rugged and steep. There were brambles everywhere, and the two climbed up along the winding mountain path. Although the mountain scenery was beautiful, they were both drenched in sweat.

"Where are you taking me? I didn't ask you the whole way." Yu Yin wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve. Her cheeks and hair were wet with the sweat, and her hair was stuck to her forehead and between her eyebrows. Her face was suffused with a faint blush. Under the reflection of the green leaves, her face was as if she was facing the sky. Her plain countenance was actually so beautiful that it could move one's heart.

"This is an earth-shattering secret, you'll find out when we get there," Shen Yushi said as he stared at Yu Yin for a long time before finally regaining his senses. In front of him was the halfway point of the Sunset Peak.

Carrying their exhausted bodies from their long journey, the two of them finally arrived at the cave entrance of the absolute peak of the Sunset Peak.

Yu Yin glanced at this extremely ordinary opening and was immediately somewhat disappointed. Looking at Shen Jingyang's questioning, she said, "You've been running around for so many days. Shen Jingyang, are you bringing me to see this hole?"

Shen Jingyang knew that she was getting impatient, so he smiled amiably, "This is no ordinary cave. Back then when I was still a disciple of Taihua Altar, I discovered a mysterious cave like this. You will know when you come in with me." Shen Jingyang took Yu Yin's hand and pushed aside the weeds and vines covering the entrance to the cave.

The cave was like another world, completely different from the green and steep outside. Inside, it was dark and spacious, with green stones spread out across the area. "Where is this interesting place? It's just unusual!"

"Look …" Shen Jingyang pointed at a huge rock in front of them and mysteriously said, with a dark and gloomy expression on his face, "After seeing it, you definitely think that your trip here was not in vain."

Following the direction that he was pointing in, Yuyin walked over to the boulder. The Exquisite Pagoda on the boulder suddenly appeared in front of them, "What pagoda is this? It looks so strange!"

"This is the Exquisite Pagoda in the Great Sea, specially designed to trap Qiong Qi beasts …"

"Stop bullshitting. The Qiong Qi Beast was killed by you and Yun Jiu Tang in the Great Sea. Who are you trying to fool with such a small thing?"

"Hey, don't believe me." Shen Jingyang picked up the Exquisite Pagoda and felt that it was even heavier than Yun Jiu Tang's black metal sword. He placed it in front of Yuyin and said, "Watch carefully, is Qiong Qi inside?"

Yu Yin took a closer look and saw a living creature within the small black tower squirming. Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like the fierce beast Qiong Qi she had seen in the Great Sea. Her face immediately flushed green. "Damn it!" She suddenly jumped up, almost flipping over the Exquisite Pagoda in Shen Jingyang's hands. As if she was facing a great enemy, she agilely rushed towards Shen Jingyang's back.

"Hey, slow down. You almost knocked over the Exquisite Pagoda." Shen Jingyang tightly protected the Exquisite Pagoda with his hands as he tried to evade the jade like a shadow. "Are you that scared? I didn't see you this scared back in the Great Sea!"

Yu Yin, who was still in shock, tightly held Shen Jingyang's back and loudly shouted, "Qiong Qi …" Not in the Great Sea... Was he killed? Why was he still here? This … Was this putting its soul on the line? Are you going to scare me to death? "

Shen Jingyang laughed out loud. With a flip of his hand, he grabbed Yu Yin's sleeve and pulled her in front of him. "Look carefully, this little beast is already imprisoned inside. What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Jingyang carefully moved the Exquisite Pagoda toward Yu Yin. Sure enough, that Qiongqi small beast was only slowly squirming and did not have the slightest bit of malice towards her.

Seeing the puzzled look on Yu Yin's face, Shen Jingyang hesitated for a moment before telling her the truth about the poor strange beasts in the Great Sea that were both male and female. He and Yun Jiu Tang could not bear to kill this poor wretch, so they imprisoned him in the Exquisite Pagoda because they pitied the sincere feelings between them.

"But it can't stay here forever. It's too dangerous!" Yu Yin was still shaken as the paleness on her face gradually disappeared. She stared at the Exquisite Pagoda and said, "This Young Master Yun is truly willful. Is he not afraid that it will run out again?"

Just like that, the two of them continued their conversation, not even noticing the sounds or movement coming from the entrance of the cave. When Shen Jingyang's sharp ears caught the soft sounds, he said, "Yuyin, come over here!" He beckoned to Yu Yin and gently placed her behind him, "It seems like someone is coming …" Shen Yushi instantly crossed his fists. Yu Yin knew that this was the last move before he could summon the Dark Bow. If he was caught in a dangerous situation, Shen Jingyang could summon the Dark Bow in the shortest amount of time and return with ten thousand arrows, delivering a fatal blow to his assailant.

At this moment, Shen Yushi was like a startled leopard cat, his sharp eyes staring at the dark tunnel that stretched from the mouth of the cave to now. Gradually, the two figures seemed to be jumping closer and closer. In the darkness, there seemed to be a fierce wind blowing over, causing people to be slightly fearful. Shen Tianyang's palms slowly intersected as his internal force gradually gathered in his palms. Yu Yin tightly gripped his clothes behind his back as he was extremely terrified. He prayed that this person would not be a monster.

Suddenly, a familiar voice floated into Shen Jingyang's ears, "Although this cave entrance is narrow, the inside of the cave suddenly opened up. It's a completely different world." How could that be? This voice was Gu Xueluo! Could that figure be Yun Jiu Tang and her? Thinking of this, Shen Jingyang straightened his body and loosened his grip. He pulled Yu Yin along as he walked towards the center of the cave. Sure enough, two familiar figures entered his sight.

"Brother Jiu Tang, it really is the two of you." Before Shen Jingyang could even stand up, he laughed loudly and said, "What a coincidence. Everyone is here to see the Qiong Qi cave."

Just as Shen Jingyang had said, it was Yun Jiuchang and Gu Xueluo who had arrived. It turned out that when they left Taixuan and asked about Shen Jingyang's recovery, they had expected him and Yu Yin to come here. This was because Qiong Qi was the biggest concern of the four of them in the Exquisite Pagoda.

Due to the dim light in the cave, Yun Jiuchang and Gu Xueluo only realized that they had heard Shen Jingyang's clear voice. For a short moment, the two of them were so astonished that they were almost rendered speechless. Seeing their surprised expressions, Shen Jingyang walked over and handed the Exquisite Pagoda to them, "Hey, what's so surprising about this? Brother Yun, if it wasn't for this, would I have come here?"

As soon as they met, Shen Jingyang began nagging. He even complained to Yun Jiu Tang about his dissatisfaction and worry about bringing the Exquisite Pagoda back to the mortal world. Yun Jiuchang smiled, his eyes were filled with joy and gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Chen. I didn't think that after coming out of Supreme Mystery City, I would rush over here and cause you so much trouble." Yun Jiuchang knew that when he had decided to bring Qiong Qi back to the mortal world in the Great Sea, he had been rather dissatisfied. However, he did not insist and obeyed his decision. He even chose such a secretive place to hide his Exquisite Pagoda.

Shen Jingyang waved his left hand, handing the Exquisite Pagoda over to Yun Jiu Tang, "Ah, Brother Yun, take a look. This little beast is safe and sound in this pagoda. There's no need for us to worry." Yun Jiu Tang carefully received the Exquisite Pagoda and looked at the Qiong Qi inside before letting out a long sigh of relief.

As the two of them spoke, Gu Xueluo and Yuyin also started to reminisce.

Yun Jiu Tang placed the Exquisite Pagoda on the giant rock, turned around and looked at Shen Jingyang, asking with concern, "Brother Shen, are your injuries alright?" The purpose of his trip this time was to find out what kind of experience he had encountered in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest.

Shen Jingyang smiled inwardly. He had long anticipated that Yun Jiu Tang would not only come for the Exquisite Pagoda, so he told him in detail what had happened to the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest. It was as if Shen Jingyang had returned to the soul-stirring scene a month ago in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest: the sudden appearance of the two evil men in black, the mysterious old man in grey and the hidden dark bamboo festival … He still felt a lingering fear in his heart when he spoke of it to Yun Jiu Tang.

"Do you see clearly who those two men in black are?" Gu Xueluo asked anxiously, anxious to know the answer all of a sudden.

"No, they hid their faces well." Shen Jingyang shook his head and said, "Their skills are very strange. I've never met them before, but I'm sure they're not the same person who injured Wang Qingchuan."

Yun Jiu Tang was silent, lost in his thoughts. His thoughts were in a complete mess. In the face of Shen Ying Yang's dangerous description, he did not know where this sudden danger came from nor who it was that had done it.

Shen Jingyang walked in front of Yun Jiuchang and looked at his tightly locked face, along with the fear and helplessness in his eyes, "However, I did find anything." Saying that, he carefully took out a piece of black cloth from his chest, "I found this in a perfectly intact bamboo shoot."

Yun Jiuchang took the square inch black robe and carefully examined it, hoping to find any traces of it.

Shen Jingyang continued, "From the looks of it, this piece of clothing must have been discovered by someone at the scene when the massacre happened in the bamboo forest all those years ago. So we sealed this clue and let the later generations investigate it …"

Yun Jiu Tang shifted his gaze from the corner of his shirt to Shen Jingyang and asked, "There were so many people who died at that time, who could have done this?"

Shen Tianyang sneered, "From the way she sealed the bamboo, it must be the Immortal World's Left Holy Envoy, Yang Mingfei. I've seen her skills before, she's quite similar to the sealing part of the bamboo."

Yun Jiu Tang seemed to have thought of something as he mumbled, "She wants to remind us that this person is related to the real culprit." He continued to stare blankly at the corner of that piece of clothing. "I really admire you, Brother Shen. Over the years, it's been many times that the Six Realms entered and left the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest, but they didn't find this clue …"

Gu Xueluo interjected, "That's right. It's all thanks to Shooting Sun that we found such an important clue. Why don't we release the news and have the Six Realms come help to find out where this corner belongs?" She wanted to find out the truth about the fifth spirit so she was in such a hurry.

"I can't do that!" Yun Jiu Tang anxiously said, "Isn't doing this to alert the enemy? Since we have this clue, we have to secretly investigate. The real culprit will naturally be exposed."

Shen Jingyang nodded his head repeatedly. Right now, this was the best plan.
