The Game of Two

At this moment, four streams of light flew across the sky.

They were the four major sect masters of the North Sea.

"I originally wanted to collect the corpse of that old man, Ye Neng, but I can't even find the body. It's really strange!" Jian Hengtian sighed with disappointment.

Upon hearing this, the others also sighed.

Although they didn't have a deep relationship with Ye Neng, who could say for sure that he wouldn't turn against them in the future, given the calamity that had befallen the North Sea continent?

"Jian Hengtian, how do you think the Qingniu Sect's representative would fare against Bai Qianyi?" Liu Guyi couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows," Jian Hengtian couldn't help but force a bitter smile and said, "Apart from disregarding formations in the Yixian Valley back then, I've only witnessed his prowess with that pot of snake soup. So, no one really knows what he's capable of when he truly makes a move."

"And Bai Qianyi's strength..."

At this point, Jian Hengtian couldn't help but tremble.

Even though he had reached the realm of a human immortal, he was like an ant in the face of Bai Qianyi, unreachable.

"It's a fifty-six chance," Jian Hengtian added.

"Who's fifty and who's six?" the three of them nervously asked.

"You know it in your hearts..."

Jian Hengtian paused for a moment, sighed, and continued, "You know, who's fifty and who's six."

The three wore dim expressions.

Indeed.

They knew in their hearts who was fifty and who was six.

While the representative of the Qingniu Sect seemed powerful, compared to Bai Qianyi, who could annihilate people with a wave of her hand, he was probably lacking.

Moreover.

Bai Qianyi wasn't alone.

She represented the entire Baiyang Palace!

Who knows what kind of super experts were hidden behind her?

"Are we, the North Sea, going to become slaves to others in the future?" Yun Tianlong said with a downcast mood.

The others fell silent, and the atmosphere became heavy. Everyone felt a suppressed unease in their hearts.

"Let's go and look for the old man Ye Neng again, at least we should give him a proper burial," Li Canghai suggested.

"Forget it, there's no need to go to the Qingniu Sect again. They're not even from the North Sea, so why should they get involved in our troubles?" Liu Guyi shook his head and said, "Besides, they might not even be there anymore. I'm afraid they left the North Sea long ago when Bai Qianyi appeared..."

"Fine, let's continue searching for the old man Ye Neng. We've been looking for him for so long, but still haven't found him," Jian Hengtian scanned the surroundings with his eagle-like gaze and couldn't help but say, "That guy Ye Neng is really strange. He thought that being familiar with the representative of the Qingniu Sect would solve everything, but who knew that Bai Qianyi wouldn't be swayed? That's why he ended up like this." Li Canghai couldn't help but sigh.

The others nodded in silence.

Who could argue with that?

If Ye Neng had been more adaptable from the beginning, his body wouldn't be missing now.

"What are you four doing?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from above them.

Upon hearing the voice, the four of them were instantly startled.

They quickly looked up and saw Ye Neng and his daughter standing in mid-air, looking down at them from a high vantage point.

"Ye, Ye, Ye, Ye Neng, you... you're not dead?"

When they saw that it was indeed Ye Neng, the four of them looked as if they had seen a ghost, filled with disbelief.

"Hmph, why would I be dead?" Ye Neng's face turned grim as he coldly snorted.

"But you, how come you're not affected by the Soul Suppressing Nails? Why are you completely fine?" Liu Guyi couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, Soul Suppressing Nails?"

Ye Neng sneered with contempt, snorting from his nose and saying, "Those are just child's playthings. What's the big deal?"

"Making a fuss over nothing!"

The four individuals stood still, their expressions complex and varied.

Previously, Ye Neng was not like this on the flying boat, it was a tragic sight to behold.

But now, he was filled with arrogance, treating the Soul Suppressing Nails as if they were mere child's playthings.

Ye Neng.

What has he experienced?

The four individuals couldn't help but ponder.

"You four are supposed to be the leaders of your respective sects. Don't act like you've never seen the world before. It's just a small Soul Suppressing Nail, yet you're making such a big fuss!" Ye Neng reprimanded with a stern face, stroking his beard. Then he continued, "I still have things to attend to, I don't have time to chat with you. That's all."

"Daughter, let's go."

"Yes, Father."

After speaking, the two of them exuded a powerful aura and disappeared in the blink of an eye, at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Gah!

At this scene, a sound resembling that of a duck echoed from the throats of the four individuals.

Jian Hengtian pointed in the direction they had left, stuttering, "E-earth... that guy is an Earth Immortal."

The hearts of the few individuals remained unsettled for a long time.

They thought Ye Neng was bound to die, and even considered helping to retrieve his corpse.

But now, not only did nothing happen, he even directly ascended to a higher realm?

"They came from this direction." Liu Guyi looked in one direction and said meaningfully.

"The one from Qingniu Sect!"

The others instantly realized.

"It's the only explanation." Liu Guyi said with a complex expression, "It seems that we have underestimated the person from Qingniu Sect. He really managed to remove the Soul Suppressing Nails from Ye Neng and the others."

"What should we do now?" Jian Hengtian asked anxiously, "Should we go find that person?"

"Let's think about it carefully!" Liu Guyi waved his hand and said, "The removal of the Soul Suppressing Nails has definitely been noticed by Bai Qianyi. The battle between these two is crucial, and choosing sides is important!"

Upon hearing this, the others furrowed their brows and deep in thought.

Indeed.

These Soul Suppressing Nails could be seen as a covert game between two masters.

Qingniu Sect's person might not be aware of it, but Bai Qianyi, with her ruthless methods, would definitely not give up easily.

If Bai Qianyi finds out that they four are getting close to Qingniu Sect's person, and if Qingniu Sect's person loses, they will face a catastrophe.

If they were alone and without support, it would be wise to side with the powerful expert from Qingniu Sect.

After all, no one wants to be a dog.

But they have a sect behind them, with the lives of tens of thousands of disciples at stake.

Therefore, they have to consider their sect's interests.

For them, it's no longer just a personal opportunity, but a high-stakes gamble involving their four major sects.

"How should we choose?"

The four individuals exchanged glances, hesitant and undecided.

"Based on the direction Ye Neng took, he should be heading to Bai'er City. Let's follow Ye Neng and see the situation before making a decision!" Liu Guyi said.

The rest of the group nodded in agreement.

Now it seemed that there was no other choice.

The four of them hurriedly arrived at Bai'er City.

Sure enough.

Within Bai'er City, the four individuals discovered the traces of Ye Neng and followed them towards Xiao Wu's house.

Just then.

A rapid whistle came from the sky, accompanied by a streak of light. A magnificent golden ship had already circled above Bai'er City.

"Bai Qianyi, why is she here?"

The faces of the four individuals changed drastically, and they furrowed their brows tightly. For some reason, whenever they saw this woman, they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Meanwhile, Ye Neng and his daughter, who were on their way to Xiao Wu's house, also frowned and quickly concealed themselves.

"Divine Lady, we have discovered something unexpected in this small city. I guarantee it will surprise you," an elderly man bowed respectfully in front of Bai Qianyi and said with a red face.

"Oh?"

"Then I must see for myself what good thing it is."

Bai Qianyi stepped lightly as if she were a celestial being, descending step by step from the flying ship.

This scene, which many mortals had never witnessed before, made them restless with excitement. They showed fanaticism on their faces and flocked towards the spot where Bai Qianyi landed.

"Wow, a celestial being."

"Is she really a fairy from the heavens?"

"We pay our respects to the fairy."

"If only the immortal could grant me some opportunities."

Countless people knelt down, wearing devout expressions, welcoming Bai Qianyi's arrival.

However.

The fairy who had made their hearts race revealed a cold gleam in her eyes and a look of disgust on her face.

With a wave of her jade palm, a wave of pressure descended.

Almost instantly, these mortals were crushed, their flesh and blood torn apart, bursting into pieces.

Upon seeing this, the others finally understood that she was not a fairy at all, but a true menace. Amidst the chaos and screams, they fled in all directions.

The three of them walked on, leaving behind empty streets.

Finally, led by the elderly man, they arrived at the entrance of a small shop with tightly closed doors.

"Right here."

The old man smiled meaningfully and said, "Once the door opens, Lady Bai, you will be satisfied."
