Chapter 727: Chapter 727 - 685: Wangwu Mountain Mr. Wu_2
In the distance, Xiaoqing, who was en route to Wangwu Mountain, abruptly stopped. Its majestic dragon head swept its gaze around quizzically.
"What’s wrong, Xiaoqing?"
Seeing Xiaoqing’s behavior, Ji Youzhi asked, puzzled.
Xiaosuisui answered on behalf of Xiaoqing.
"There’s someone on Wangwu Mountain."
Yun Kuo was puzzled. "Didn’t we already know there are many residents from both sides of the Yunhang Coast living near Wangwu Mountain?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head. "What Xiaoqing detected wasn’t an ordinary person, but someone very powerful. It seems to be someone about to step into the Ninth Grade Immortal realm."
"What? Someone about to become a Ninth Grade Immortal? Isn’t that even more formidable than my father?"
Xiaosuisui nodded. "Even more formidable than my great uncle."
"So, what should we do now?" Yun Kuo asked worriedly.
"I sense that person doesn’t want to reveal themselves to us. They’ve already hidden."
As soon as Xiaosuisui said this, Ji Youzhi chimed in.
"Now that we’ve been exposed, there’s no need to be so cautious. Xiaoqing, take us directly there and land on the highest peak. We’ll assess the situation on Wangwu Mountain first!"
Xiaoqing was very obedient. Its Master’s uncle was its uncle, and it had to obey his orders!
Soon, Xiaoqing flew everyone to Wangwu Mountain, circled it once, and finally landed on the highest peak.
"Did you notice? There’s clearly no trace of human habitation here, yet I sense a dangerous aura!"
Yun Kuo and Ji Youzhi had comparable Cultivation levels; Ji Youzhi was at the Sixth Realm, and Yun Kuo was at the Seventh Realm. They both shared the same feeling: this mountain gave them a very dangerous sensation!
"I’ve discovered three hidden Mountain Cave entrances. I wonder if anyone lives inside them?" Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi said in unison.
After speaking, they looked at each other in surprise, again saying in unison, "You found those caves too?"
The two of them burst out laughing.
Then, their gazes fell upon a spot that seemed perfect for someone to hide.
They exchanged a look, gathered their strength for a moment, then simultaneously launched a palm strike towards the suspected area, shouting together, "Come out!"
This move flushed out the man in black from his hiding spot. He swiftly evaded, striking back at each of them with a palm attack as he moved.
Xiaosuisui quickly dodged, retreating a great distance.
Ji Youzhi, whose Power was weaker, couldn’t avoid the man in black’s attack. With a PFFT, he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Uncle Seven!"
"Cousin Youzhi!"
Xiaosuisui and Yun Kuo exclaimed in alarm, rushing over to check Ji Youzhi’s injuries.
Ji Youzhi quickly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "I’m fine. This man is too powerful—be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoqing suddenly grew larger and flew over, landing directly in front of them. It encircled them, its noble dragon head facing the man in black, baring its teeth and letting out a low, warning growl.
"Cyan Dragon! You actually escaped from the Dragon-Locking Array?" Shock was evident in the man in black’s voice.
When Xiaosuisui heard the man in black’s voice, she blinked, sniffed, and then her eyes widened dramatically.
"It’s you!"
"You recognize me?" Hearing Xiaosuisui exclaim, "It’s you!" the man in black was greatly surprised. He lifted his previously lowered head, and at that moment, the face hidden within his black cloak was revealed.
A swarthy face, crafty eyes, extremely thin lips, and sharp brows slanting upwards towards his temples met the eyes of Xiaosuisui and the others.
Upon seeing this face, Ji Youzhi thought, A treacherous villain!
Yun Kuo squinted. Such a face... it seems unreal, not like his true appearance.
But Xiaosuisui blurted out, "You’re Mr. Wu!"
Hearing "Mr. Wu," Ji Youzhi’s expression changed.
Yun Kuo, however, asked in confusion, "Who is Mr. Wu?"
Ji Youzhi replied, "A shameless villain who has committed countless evil deeds!"
Mr. Wu was still wondering how the Princess of Great Han knew his identity. But when he heard Ji Youzhi’s words, an angry expression contorted his face.
"Insolent!" Enraged, Mr. Wu attacked. Black Qi swirled around his hand as he thrust a palm strike towards Ji Youzhi!
With a roar, Xiaoqing instantly took flight, a talon swiping straight at Mr. Wu!
A flicker of surprise flashed in Mr. Wu’s eyes.
"You are the dragon of Zhou’s Ancestor! Why protect a mere child and two little ants?"
Xiaoqing roared again, its massive body circling in the air, its tail lashing towards him!
This is... Mr. Wu was so furious he gritted his teeth!
"It’s truly fortunate to encounter Mr. Wu here today. Many of Great Han’s unresolved cases are just waiting for you, the involved party, to be brought to justice."
A longsword suddenly appeared in Ji Youzhi’s hand.
Seeing Ji Youzhi’s stance, Yun Kuo also hastily drew his own sword, preparing to attack alongside him.
"Is he a fugitive from your Great Han?" Yun Kuo asked Ji Youzhi casually out of curiosity.
A slight smile touched the corners of Ji Youzhi’s mouth as he replied, "He’s from Nanjiang. If I’m not mistaken, Granny Lan must also have some connection to him. Her Witch Power is definitely related to him!"
Hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, Yun Kuo’s blood rushed to his head. His eyes turned crimson, glaring fiercely as if they would split, and he lunged forward with his sword.
Ji Youzhi, alarmed by this, feared his cousin would be at a disadvantage and immediately joined the battle.
Xiaosuisui, feeling quite helpless, also made her move.
Xiaoqing roared, about to join the battle, but Xiaosuisui quickly said, "Xiaoqing, don’t move! Your power is too immense. If you lose control, this mountaintop could sink into the sea. The loss would outweigh the gain!"
