The two masked figures looked at the man in front of them, covering his chest and retreating.
"Haha, if you can persist until now, you are worthy of being the master of Wandao Sword Sect."
A hoarse voice came from one of the figures wearing a fang mask.
This seriously injured man is none other than Ren Pingsheng, the leader of Wandao Sword Sect!
"Cough cough cough..."
Ren Pingsheng coughed up blood at the corner of his mouth, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at the two mysterious masked men in front of him with cold eyes.
"Who are you... and why did you intercept and kill me on my way back to the clan?!"
He just returned from meeting some old friends a few days ago, but he didn't expect to be intercepted and killed by these two Source Realm powerhouses on the way.
Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have much time to react before he was seriously injured.
In order to save his life, he tried his best to escape in a certain direction.
Because the injury was too serious, he fell into this forest.
"Haha, do you need to know? He is almost a dying person."
Another mysterious man wearing a mask with a sharp beak laughed and said in an extremely sharp and harsh voice: "But you can say a few last words, maybe we can listen to it a little bit."
After hearing the words of these two mysterious people, Ren Pingsheng knew that it was probably impossible for him to escape.
So his eyes were as cold as a sword, he forced himself to stand up straight, and summoned the sword that had accompanied him in battles for many years - the Life Sword.
"Oh? At this point, are you still thinking about resisting?"
The fang mask said with a ferocious smile: "Hahahaha! How stupid!"
"Do you think you can still survive in front of us?"
"No."
Ren Pingsheng calmly shook his head.
"I just want you... to be buried with me!"
boom!!
The sword energy on his body suddenly rose into the sky.
A sword power as vast as the sky is about to collapse swept away!
Both the fanged mask and the pointed beak mask trembled a few times and took a few steps back.
The two pairs of eyes exposed in the two masks both released shocked gazes.
"Haha, it seems we still underestimated you."
The sharp-beaked mask chuckled: "But do you really think you are qualified... to drag us into the funeral?"
"Then you are too naive!"
"Whether you can do it or not, you have to give it a try!"
As if he knew he was going to die, Ren Pingsheng's eyes were full of determination to live towards death!
He was about to raise his sword and fight to the death with these two masked men.
at this time--
A voice sounded in his ears.
Ren Pingsheng froze all over.
Then, his figure disappeared under the eyes of the fang mask and the sharp beak mask!
"?!"
The fanged mask and the sharp-beaked mask looked at each other and quickly moved to where Ren Shengsheng was standing before.
"what happened?!"
Fang Mask's voice became obviously furious: "Why did this guy disappear in an instant?! He can't even feel his breath!"
"I've never heard of this guy having such skills before!"
The sharp-beaked mask seemed to be thinking about something.
Then he shook his head and said in a still sharp voice: "This should not be his method."
"If he had such means, he would have escaped under our noses just now."
"I guess... someone should have rescued him just now."
"who?!"
Fang Mask obviously reacted greatly: "Who in the Northern Nether Realm could have this ability?!"
"I don't know."
The sharp-beaked mask shook his head and said: "But these are no longer important."
"Now we just need to prevent that guy from returning to the sect."
Fang Mask thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."
So the two men continued to check around and then left.
It's just that they didn't expect that Ren would never leave throughout his life.
He was hiding behind a tree not far away.
When he sensed that the auras of the two people had completely gone away, Ye Qingchen waved his hand to disperse the fog and looked at Ren Pingsheng, who was covered in injuries.
Ren Pingsheng, who was out of the fighting state, collapsed against the tree as if he was deflated, and looked him up and down.
Ye Qingchen's aura that only had the cultivation level of the late Ascension Realm made him a little surprised.
But he still asked aloud:
"Excuse me, your Excellency..."
"Junior Ye Qingchen."
Ye Qingchen said softly: "I'm here to find you."
"Come to me?"
Ren Pingsheng was startled.
Ye Qingchen handed the letter written by Xie Donghe to Ren Pingsheng to Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng took the letter and read it quickly.
After a moment of silence, Ren Pingsheng said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "It turned out to be to enter the Wandao Sword Ruins."
"how?"
Ye Qingchen frowned slightly: "Can't we go in?"
"No, you can come in."
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and said: "But the premise is that I can return to the sect."
Thinking of the two mysterious masked men he saw just now, Ye Qingchen asked aloud:
"What exactly is going on? How could those two guys attack you, Sect Leader Ren?"
"I don't know the specific reason, I just know that their target is me."
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and suddenly seemed to remember something.
Then he murmured in a low voice: "It should...not be them."
"What?"
Ye Qingchen didn't hear clearly: "Did you just say something, Master Ren?"
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and struggled to stand up from the ground: "Nothing."
"By the way, thank you for saving my life just now. This ring contains some rare treasures. Please accept it."
"As for my affairs, don't get involved."
"You are Lao Xie's disciple, I don't want you to be involved."
Ren Pingsheng gave the ring to Ye Qingchen and was about to leave.
But before he took a few steps, his face suddenly turned white and he spurted out a few more streams of blood.
"Sect Master Ren!"
Ye Qingchen quickly stepped forward, supported him, and sat down next to the tree again.
Then he found a few elixirs from his ring that could restore injuries: "You should take these quickly. Recover your injuries first, and then you will have the strength to solve those troubles, right?"
"..."
Ren Pingsheng fell silent.
Looking at the few elixirs in his hand, he sighed slightly, took them, and then began to concentrate and recover.
Time passes bit by bit.
After an hour, Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes.
His pale face finally became rosy.
Although he has recovered somewhat, his injuries are still serious.
"These elixirs are quite precious."
Ren Pingsheng spoke and looked at Ye Qingchen with a pair of deep eyes: "It's just our first meeting, is it worth it for you to give me such a few elixirs?"
"It's nothing. I originally planned to use these elixirs as a small gift for my first visit to Sect Leader Ren."
Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "Now it's just sent out in advance."
Immediately, his voice changed: "Sect Leader Ren, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
"..."
Ren Pingsheng was silent for a while, but finally said it: "I always feel that... those two guys with masks may be the two supreme elders of my Wandao Sword Sect!"
Ye Qingchen: "?!"
This shocking guess made Ye Qingchen stunned for a moment.
"Why do you see it?" he asked aloud.
"It's just a guess."
Ren Pingsheng leaned against the tree and said with his eyes closed: "In our Wandao Sword Sect, the First Elder and the Second Elder have been fighting for higher rights and higher prestige."
"In order to calm the fight between the two of them, I, the intermediary, constantly delegated power to them."
"In the end, the power held by the two of them is almost the same as mine."
Ye Qingchen listened and probably could guess some.
"Now this happened suddenly, and the attack was launched suddenly on my way back to the sect."
Ren Pingsheng said in a calm voice: "This makes it difficult for me not to suspect that they are the culprit."
"Some of the sword moves used by those two masked guys also seemed very familiar to me."
"In the entire sect, apart from the two supreme elders, there are no other immortals at the source level."
"Now I just hope...they are not causing trouble."
Ren Pingsheng's lips curled up in a self-deprecating smile: "Otherwise, if a majestic sect leader is plotted by two of his own elders together, I'm afraid it will make people laugh out loud if he talks about it."
Ye Qingchen could understand Ren Pingsheng's mood.
If his conjecture is true, it would be equivalent to him, the sect leader, being "expelled" by the master of Wandao Sword Sect!
It is like a host being driven out of his house by his guests.
How can we talk to outsiders about the humiliation involved?
Ye Qingchen thought for a while and said: "How about I find a way to sneak into your Wandao Immortal Sect and kill the two Supreme Elders?"
"?"
Ren Pingsheng's face showed surprise.
It was the first time he heard such words.
An immortal who ascended to the heaven level actually said that he wanted to kill two existences in the source level...
He couldn't help but wonder if Xie Donghe's disciple had something wrong with his brain.
"If Sect Leader Ren doesn't believe it, you can sense Huang'er's aura."
As Ye Qingchen said that, he lightly tapped the Black Phoenix Divine Bird on his shoulder.
Only then did Ren Pingsheng notice the "little bird" covered with colorful feathers on Ye Qingchen.
The Black Phoenix Divine Bird chirped lowly, and immediately took the initiative to release its aura.
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng felt an aura that was far more powerful than himself!
"?!"
Ren Pingsheng's face was suddenly filled with shock.
He didn't expect that this seemingly pretty little bird could actually have such terrifying strength!
"This...this is the Black Phoenix Divine Bird?!"
Sensing the hot breath of the Black Phoenix Divine Bird, Ren Pingsheng, who was well-informed, recognized it at once.
"That's right." Ye Qingchen nodded, "Huang'er's current cultivation level is at the fourth level of the Source Realm."
Source level four!
Ren Pingsheng was even more shocked.
His current cultivation level is at the peak of the second level of the Source Realm, and he may reach the third level of the Source Realm at any time.
But now, a black phoenix bird is two realms higher than him!
How could this not surprise him?
At this time, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and lowered his voice.
"Don't be so anxious. I guess they will announce some 'big things' tomorrow... Tomorrow you can use the method you just used to take me in."
