The Lucky One 02

“I suspect the strange phenomenon between heaven and earth in Yi Xian Valley is also created by the senior.”

Ye Neng's imagination ran wild and said: “It must be to distract those four people.”

“Oh?”

Ye Yi asked in confusion: “Why does father say so?”

“Think about it. Choosing people is such an important matter for the senior, the fewer people know about it the better.” Ye Neng explained: “So I guess the senior didn't even want to meet those four people at all.”

“That makes sense.”

Ye Yi was suddenly enlightened and nodded: “Those four people left because of the strange phenomenon between heaven and earth. Then we met the senior. How could there be such a coincidence?”

“It seems our meeting with the senior and the opportunity we got from the senior can't be known by those four people!” Ye Neng said solemnly.

“I understand.”

Ye Yi nodded solemnly.

“Also, since we are so lucky to be valued and selected by the senior as the lucky ones, we must work hard to take on this important task!” Ye Neng added.

“Right, we must not disappoint the senior!” Ye Yi nodded.

“There's no time to delay. Let's hurry back and focus on our cultivation to break through the bottlenecks from before!”

“Alright!”

Father and daughter flew away in succession, leaving GuanTang City.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

On a cliff.

The Four Great Sect Masters of North Sea gathered here.

Below them was a gorge that stretched endlessly into the distance.

The gorge was shrouded in thick fog, with visibility less than three yards. Looking up from the bottom of the gorge, one could only see a one-inch wide sky.

This was the famous Yi Xian Valley.

The strange phenomenon between heaven and earth originated from here not long ago. Afterwards, strong fluctuations were transmitted from within faintly.

But before they could enter the valley, they encountered two powerful enemies.

The two people wore bamboo hats and black robes, completely obscuring their appearances and having no idea where they came from.

As soon as they met, the two attacked the Four Great Sect Masters.

The Four Great Sect Masters joined forces against the enemies, but the strength of the two black-clothed people exceeded their imagination.

Despite being four against two after an intense battle, not only did they gain no advantage, but the four people were seriously injured instead.

"Four waste ones."

Disdainful voices came from the black-clothed people's mouths.

The four were extremely furious and gnashed their teeth: “Who exactly are you?”

"Your killers."

"Your four sects are not even qualified to live in this world!"

As soon as their voices fell, the two black-clothed people turned into two black lights and disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already inside the black fog, pouncing towards the Four Great Sect Masters.

Hidden killing intent lingered in the black fog, with faint cold lights flashing.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The cold lights shot towards them. Even as the Four Great Sect Masters held their breath to resist, upon contact, they suffered heavy injuries instantly, their skin slashed with countless wounds.

The four instantly became bloody people.

For a moment, goosebumps broke out all over the four people's bodies as cold sweat streamed down.

It was the first time they felt death approaching so closely.

Suddenly, the killing intent emerged again.

The hearts of the four were extremely heavy, their faces ashen.

The first round of attacks had caught them off guard. This second wave of killing intent directly shrouded them in the shadow of death.

“Are we going to die?”

The four exchanged looks, with ten thousand reluctances in their hearts.

However, at the most critical moment, two sword lights swept over from the sky, dragging out a hundred-mile-long arc of light in midair and accurately targeting the two black-clothed people.

In almost an instant, the black fog enveloping the Four Great Sect Masters disappeared, and the two black-clothed people were beheaded on the spot.

“Were we saved?”

“Those two sword strikes were so powerful!”

The Four Great Sect Masters reacted belatedly and quickly looked up at the sky.

“We four thank the two seniors for helping us.”

They bowed to thank their saviors.

However, when the two people landed nearby, the Four Great Sect Masters were greatly astonished.

“Ye Neng?”

“Ye Yi?”

“How could it be you two?”

The four exclaimed in unison, incredulous.

“Why can't it be us?”

Ye Neng glared at them and said lightly.

“Okay, not asking anything else, how on earth did you two become so powerful? Those two sword strikes just now, how did you do that?” Taiyi Valley Lord still couldn't help asking.

“Yeah Ye Neng, I remember not long ago your strength was still below ours four.”

“And your daughter. Just a few days ago in GuanTang City, her cultivation was only at the Martial Saint Realm. Now how is it that we can no longer see through her cultivation?”

At this moment, the four had ten thousand questions to ask.

No matter how hard they thought, they couldn’t understand how the father and daughter had suddenly become so powerful.

The black-clothed people that had rendered them helpless were slashed with one sword strike each?

“Hmph, you only need to know that it’s us father and daughter who saved you. What’s with all these questions?” Ye Neng said arrogantly.

“Fine, not asking anything else, what exactly is up with your strength?” Taiyi Valley Lord still couldn't resist asking.

Ye Neng tilted his head with a smug look.

The four had iron-blue faces.

It seemed that Ye Neng would not give away anything about their cultivation.

Then, Heng Tian Sword House Sect Leader changed the subject and asked: “By the way, weren’t you two staying in GuanTang City to look for the senior? Did you manage to find him?”

“No comment!”

Ye Neng tilted his head again.

“You...”

The four flushed red with anger, rather indignant: “Didn’t we agree earlier that you two would be responsible for finding the senior while we come here? You’d inform us immediately if there's any news!"
