Chapter 92: Clues

In the pavilion, Su Jingzhen sat facing Shuang Jiang.Although the two didn’t speak, there was an unspoken understanding between them.

Shuang Jiang had already said what she wanted to tell Su Jingzhen back in the square.

She wasn’t the kind of person who would coddle or spoil others.

Nor did she plan to teach Su Jingzhen any more cultivation techniques.

Although she had many such techniques at her disposal.

Shuang Jiang knew that many geniuses who rose to prominence did so from humble beginnings.

If she were to arrange everything for Su Jingzhen, it might diminish his own fighting spirit.

As time passed, Su Jingzhen felt a slight awkwardness, and intentionally changed the subject by asking, “MIss Shuang Jiang, when are you going to retrieve the things you lost on Clear Wind Mountain?”

This was also something he was curious about.

Earlier, Luo Yuebai had mentioned that the strong cultivators from Huayang Sect had gained the most during their trip to Clear Wind Mountain.

Those gains were likely Shuang Jiang’s belongings.

So, if Shuang Jiang wanted to retrieve her belongings, she would naturally have to go to Huayang Sect.

He didn’t know how Shuangjiang would do this.

But he could foresee that Huayang Sect might be in trouble.

After thinking it through, Su Jingzhen realized that the various factions had paid a huge price on Clear Wind Mountain, only to fight over something that was actually a curse to them.

Shuang Jiang raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, “I can go at any time.”

Su Jingzhen was taken aback once again.

But he understood that Shuang Jiang’s cultivation had increased fourfold, and the aura she had released earlier was definitely not something an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could withstand.

Even in Qingzhou’s territory, the strongest cultivators from Huayang Sect were probably only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Shuang Jiang was indeed capable of coming and going as she pleased.

Su Jingzhen tried to make small talk again, saying, “Actually, with your strength, MIss Shuang Jiang, you could have gone to Clear Wind Mountain ahead of them and retrieved your belongings.”

The commotion on Clear Wind Mountain had been going on for days, and many strong cultivators from various sects had already gone up the mountain.

Yet Shuang Jiang had been staying with him in Peach Blossom Alley.

Su Jingzhen didn’t think that Shuang Jiang was staying with him out of affection.

Shuang Jiang, however, revealed a rare smile: “Clear Wind Mountain is vast, and my belongings are scattered all over. I’m too lazy to go collect them one by one.”

Su Jingzhen was left speechless once again.

It seemed that Shuang Jiang was waiting for others to collect her belongings before going to retrieve them.

This approach was indeed very Shuang Jiang-like!

He wondered how Long Yunfei from Huayang Sect would react when he found out about this.

The pavilion fell silent once again.

The last time Shuang Jiang left, Su Jingzhen had already given her a jade pendant as a gift. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This time, there was nothing good to give as a gift, as the trinkets on Su Jingzhen’s body were probably all trash to Shuang Jiang.

But at this moment, Shuang Jiang took the initiative to speak up: “In the future, if you’re not forced to, don’t reveal your Body Cultivation in public. Conceal your abilities, and it will be a great advantage for you.”

Su Jingzhen was walking the orthodox path of Body Cultivation, and his physical characteristics didn’t reveal anything.

He could burst forth with power at critical moments, like when he killed Chen Jinshi, catching others off guard and making it difficult for them to defend themselves.

“MIss Shuang Jiang, don’t worry, I’ve always been low-key and kept a low profile.”

Shuang Jiang glanced at him, saying nothing more.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind sounded in the void.

Luo Yuebai arrived, his fan fluttering.

Since he no longer needed to pretend, Luo Yuebai’s aura as a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was now openly displayed.

At this time, he looked at Su Jingzhe with a little excitement on his face.

“Friend Su, I have a lead!”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.

He saw that Luo Yuebai’s expression wasn’t too serious.

Could it be that sister-in-law Zhang Xiu was still alive?

Immediately, Su Jingzhen stood up, equally excited.

But before he could ask more questions, Luo Yuebai continued, “The Evil Moon Sect still has many disciples remaining on Clear Wind Mountain. After receiving my message, they all dropped what they were doing and searched for Zhang Xiu.”

“They also brought back the bodies of all the female disciples who died in battle and identified them one by one. Fortunately, they didn’t find anyone resembling Zhang Xiu among the corpses.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of joy.

There were no corpses, which meant there was still hope!

But Luo Yuebai continued, “Unfortunately, they didn’t find Zhang Xiu either. They only discovered some clues deep within Clear Wind Mountain. It should… it should be left by Zhang Xiu.”

Su Jingzhen’s face was slightly stunned, and he asked, “What kind of clues? Can I take a look?”

“Perhaps you should go there yourself to take a look, Friend Su. That’s the only way to confirm it.”

As Luo Yuebai said this, his gaze at Su Jingzhen was slightly unusual.

This made Su Jingzhen even more suspicious and anxious.

However, since Luo Yuebai had said so, Su Jingzhen had no choice but to go to Clear Wind Mountain to take a look.

Zhang Xiu was his lifesaver.

Since crossing over to the cultivation world, if it weren’t for Zhang Xiu, Su Jingzhen would have died countless times.

Just for this reason, he couldn’t sit back and do nothing.

At this moment, even Shuang Jiang, who was standing beside him, raised an eyebrow.

“Let’s go, Daoist friend! Please lead the way!”

Luo Yuebai nodded and directly tossed out the fan in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the fan suddenly expanded to about a meter in diameter.

“Friend Su, Daoist Shuang Jiang, please come aboard!”

The situation was urgent, and Su Jingzhen didn’t have time to think twice.

Together with Shuang Jiang, he stepped onto Luo Yuebai’s fan.

Luo Yuebai then controlled the fan, heading towards the direction of Clear Wind Mountain behind Huayang Sect.

The speed was extremely fast, and Su Jingzhen felt a thrill of excitement.

This was his first time experiencing flight.

Although he had sat on many airplanes in his previous life, the sensation was far inferior to the real thing.

The mountains and hills below them flashed by rapidly.

During this time, Su Jingzhen saw Luo Yuebai catching many strange insects in the void.

He constantly changed direction, adjusting their flight path.

Before long, they arrived at the depths of Clear Wind Mountain.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen noticed that Shuang Jiang’s face seemed to have a subtle emotional change.

Her eyes seemed to hold a hint of nostalgia.

“This is the place!”

At this moment, Luo Yuebai had already controlled the fan to descend into the void.

The clouds and mist surrounded them, and they were likely in the deepest part of Clear Wind Mountain.

Deep in the forest, there was a very deep gorge.

On one side of the gorge, over a dozen Evil Moon Sect cultivators stood.

“Greetings, Master Yue!”

Upon seeing Luo Yuebai’s arrival, these cultivators all bowed respectfully towards him.

“Where is it?” Luo Yuebai asked lightly, his brow slightly furrowed.

“Please follow me, Master Yue.”

With that, the person drew a long sword and flew towards the bottom of the gorge.

Good grief, were they all Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Seeing this, Luo Yuebai’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

But Luo Yuebai didn’t say anything more.

He once again controlled the fan, bringing Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang along with him.

When they reached the bottom of the gorge, Su Jingzhen caught a whiff of a strong bloody smell.

His heart couldn’t help but worry again.

Although the bottom of the gorge was shrouded in a thin mist, everyone could clearly see that there were bloodstains on the rocks and plants.

It seemed as if they were extending from the outside of the gorge.

Su Jingzhen’s heart felt heavy.

If the so-called clue was just these bloodstains, the situation was likely to be dangerous.

At this moment, Shuang Jiang spoke up:

“These bloodstains still have a faint aura remaining, and it indeed belongs to sister-in-law Zhang Xiu.”
