Chapter 2266 Something Hidden

Those people had the Four Perils embroidered on their clothes, it seemed that the people from The Four Palaces were here.

“I didn’t expect you to come so quickly!” Fu Xi sneered, “I quite admire your spirit to die.”

“Azure Dragon, you’re still so stubborn even though you are about to die. They have given orders from above to kill on sight!”

“Haha, you can try!” Fu Xi said. He flew into the air, then he turned into an azure dragon and spewed dragon’s breath towards those people.

Crimson Flame also transformed into its original form at the same time and released its vermilion breath without reservation. The breath of the two Divine Beasts almost suffocated the spirit beasts in the entire mountain range.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu also moved. There were several people on the other side, they couldn’t rely on Fu Xi and Crimson Flame alone.

Neither of them used fancy moves, every move was a deadly attack. Moreover, Sima You Yue’s understanding of space had reached the pinnacle. With the help of teleportation, those people wouldn’t when she was attacking until they died.

Sima You Yue and the others deliberately moved the battlefield far away so that Wen Xi was not affected. A small part of her power was diverted to the protective barrier. Wen Xi was inside the protective barrier and watched dumbstruck at the battle in the air.

She knew that Sima You Yue and the others were strong, but she didn’t expect them to be so strong! And there were those two people who didn’t speak much usually and were very low-key, she hadn’t expected them to be the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird. Only then did she understand why they were looking for the ocean.

The battle didn’t last long. Although the other party had more people, they were killed easily. Soon, Sima You Yue and the others returned. When she saw Wen Xi’s dazed appearance, Sima You Yue removed the protection barrier and said: “Are you alright?”

Wen Xi came back to her senses and looked at Sima You Yue. She hesitated for a while, then she said: “Are you looking for Black Tortoise? I know where Black Tortoise is.”

“You really know where Black Tortoise is?”

“Yes, but I only know the approximate location.” Wen Xi said.

“To tell you the truth, we are indeed here to find Black Tortoise. Since you know where he is, please show us the way.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Alright.”

Sima You Yue was very happy. Before, she thought that they would have to search along the ocean bit by bit. Now that they know the approximate location, it would be much easier to find.

Three months later, they appeared in a city by the ocean. The city was very big and prosperous, and it was very close to the ocean. When you stood on the city wall, you could see the ocean.

In the past three months, they had encountered two interceptions, and the number of people was more than the first time, though they were all dealt with. However, they weren’t happy. The interval between the interceptions was shorter, which meant that the above already knew that they were in this small realm. There was no telling when they would attack.

They didn’t have much time left.

“Black Tortoise is here?” Fu Xi asked, he didn’t feel the breath of Black Tortoise in the city.

“No, but this is the closest city to there.” Wen Xi said, “My home is here. I have to go home to let my family know that I am safe before I can accompany you there.”

“Is that place dangerous?” Sima You Yue asked.

Wen Xi was startled, and she nodded: “No one has returned from there in the past few years, so I have to let my family know that I am going there.”

“You can tell us where this place is, you don’t have to go.” Sima You Yue didn’t want her to follow them into danger.

“I want to go with you.” For the first time, Wen Xi’s tone was a little pressing.

Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at her without speaking.

Wen Xi felt that she had seen through all the secrets in her heart. For the first time, she said uncomfortably: “I know that person, I want to go and see him. After you find him, you will take him away and leave here, won’t

you?”

Sima You Yue understood and said: “Alright, I will give you a day’s time. One day later, we will meet at the city gate.”

“Alright!” Wen Xi smiled gratefully at her.

“Wen Xi?” A sharp voice that sounded surprised and a little unresigned, came from the side.

Wen Xi’s face sank after she heard the voice, the she looked at the woman and sneered: “Have I disappointed you that I didn’t die, Mou Hong Xia?”

When Sima You Yue heard the name, she glanced at the woman.

She was the one who had found someone to deal with Wen Xi. She thought that it was foolproof, so she was very surprised to see Wen Xi.

Speaking of which, she should be surprised. If she hadn’t met them, Wen Xi would never have come back.

She didn’t plan to get involved in Wen Xi’s private matters, so she said to Wen Xi: “We will go to look for an inn first, don’t forget this time tomorrow!”

“Alright.” Wen Xi hadn’t planned on letting Sima You Yue get involved, so she nodded in response.

“Stop!” Mou Hong Xia called out subconsciously. She didn’t know why she had done so, but she felt that Wen Xi had only survived because of these people. Also, Sima You Yue was so beautiful that it made her subconsciously hostile towards her.

Sima You Yue glanced at her lightly, then she turned and left.

Mou Hong Xia was pinned to the spot staring after her and the cold sweat on her back soaked her clothes in an instant.

That look…. Was terrifying!

When Wen Xi saw that Mou Hong Xia actually dared to shout at Sima You Yue, a flash of happiness appeared in her heart. Upon seeing how frightened she was, she walked up to her and sneered: “You’re right, they saved me! You actually dare to stop strong exponents like them, I really admire your courage to die.”

Mou Hong Xia’s eyes turned to Wen Xi in a daze.

“Although I want to get rid of you right now, I have other things to do. Your life is temporarily saved for a few days. When I return, I will settle old and new scores with you!” Wen Xi turned around and left.

She couldn’t kill Mou Hong Xia now, that would provoke the Mou Family and delay their schedule. The most important matter right now was to go and look for Black Tortoise. She couldn’t delay this matter because of it.

She had to go and see him one last time!

Sima You Yue and the others had gone to the inn to stay and didn’t care how Wen Xi handled that matter.

The inn they stayed at was very high up, they could see the sea outside the city from the window of the room. Wu Lingyu returned to the room and saw that she was in a daze. He walked over to her and hugged her from behind and said softly: “Are you thinking of what happened earlier?”

“Yes, and no.” Sima You Yue leaned back against his chest: “What happened earlier reminded me of the first time I met my Master. Your strength to me was just like what that woman felt towards me. This left me in a daze for a moment.”

At that time, she was weak and she could only look up to them. Now, she was standing at such great height and it had been replaced with others looking up to her. And all this seemed to have happened in a blink of an eye.

Sima You Yue put away her emotions and asked: “Do you think Black Tortoise is in that Ocean Boundary? When I look at Wen Xi, it seems that there are some hidden emotions. I don’t know if he will be so easy to find.”
