Li Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back in the square where the faceless statue was located, his expression indifferent.
Although he was wearing a black robe and a mask, it still couldn't conceal his disdainful aura.
To put it simply, it was an aura of kingly dominance.
It inexplicably gave people a sense of superiority.
"What exactly does this person want to do, acting all mysterious!"
Some Cultivators from the Yan Clan Ancient Family around him were all confused.
"Hmph, no one has ever dared to cause trouble in my Yan Clan Ancient Family..."
An Elder of the Yan Clan Ancient Family was about to make a move.
At this moment, a delicate shout exploded.
"Stop!"
Yan Jing, in a palace dress, appeared.
"Clan Chief!"
All the Yan Clan Ancient Family members present bowed.
"Oh, you are the contemporary Clan Chief of the Yan Clan Ancient Family?"
Li Wushuang looked over indifferently.
He was also a bit surprised that the Clan Chief of the Yan Clan Ancient Family was actually a woman.
"Presumptuous! How dare you speak to our Clan Chief with such an attitude!" An Elder of the Yan Clan Ancient Family reprimanded.
"Shut up!" Yan Jing shouted again.
She looked at Li Wushuang, her expression subtly tinged with surprise and uncertainty.
"Could Your Excellency be... that esteemed adult...?" Yan Jing tentatively inquired.
She couldn't be entirely sure either.
Li Wushuang nodded faintly and said, "Yes, you have been guarding that place, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Jing immediately confirmed it.
It really was that esteemed adult who had returned!
"I didn't know that esteemed adult had returned. Yan Jing has been very presumptuous; I hope you can forgive me..."
Yan Jing's voice carried a hint of excitement and trembling.
This was once a formidable figure of an era!
Previously, even Yan Jing herself had doubted whether that esteemed adult would truly return.
Or if it was just an illusory legend.
But now, who would have thought that the Immortal Master would actually appear before her eyes?
And countless Yan Clan Ancient Family members around were stunned.
Why was their Clan Chief so respectful to an uninvited guest?
Moreover, although this person's aura was profound, he was definitely not at the Quasi-Emperor level.
Their Yan Clan Ancient Family had nothing to fear at all, did they?
Feeling those shocked, puzzled, and surprised expressions.
Under the mask, Li Wushuang's lips slowly curved into a smile.
This kind of pleasure from feigning weakness to ambush a tiger wasn't bad.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk first," Li Wushuang said.
He didn't want to say anything in public.
"Understood, esteemed adult, please follow me."
Yan Jing's attitude was respectful, leading Li Wushuang towards the depths of the ancestral land.
Leaving behind a group of shocked and petrified Yan Clan Ancient Family members.
Subsequently.
Li Wushuang arrived at the depths of the Yan Clan Ancient Family's ancestral land.
Besides Yan Jing, several other Old Ancestors of the Yan Clan Ancient Family were also alarmed.
After learning Li Wushuang's identity, they all became extremely respectful.
Although Li Wushuang's current cultivation was far from enough to intimidate them.
That kind of reverence stemmed from their very bones.
After all, the predecessor of the Yan Clan Ancient Family was also a part of the War Emperor's Mansion.
Moreover, if the Fighting Heaven War Emperor had not arranged for their Yan Clan Ancient Family to be in the Gu Chen World, their Yan Clan Ancient Family would not be as prosperous as it is today.
"No one should have been to that place yet, right?"
In the depths of the ancestral land, Li Wushuang sat in the main seat and said indifferently.
Previously, being frustrated by Jun Xiaoyao had put Li Wushuang in a bad mood.
But now, he finally regained a bit of the feeling of being the former Fighting Heaven War Emperor, standing above ten thousand people.
"Reporting to War Emperor adult, my Yan Clan Ancient Family has always guarded the Gu Chen World, and no other Force has ever invaded it."
"And that place has always been designated as a Forbidden Land; no one dares to enter..."
Yan Jing respectfully said.
"Hmm, that's good. Afterwards, arrange for people to go to that place together," Li Wushuang said.
That place was also a Forbidden Land, with many dangers.
In his previous life, the Fighting Heaven War Emperor had supreme cultivation, so he naturally didn't care and could enter and exit freely.
But now, Li Wushuang's cultivation is only at the Soul Transformation stage, not supremely strong.
So, he naturally needed the assistance of the Yan Clan Ancient Family's powerhouses.
"Understood."
Yan Jing and several Old Ancestors of the Yan Clan Ancient Family all respectfully bowed.
"Once I retrieve this Opportunity, Jun Xiaoyao, what is there to fear?"
Li Wushuang sneered inwardly.
...
Over in the Dark Star Sea.
In another city comparable to Blood Moon City.
Inside an inn.
A man entered it.
Strangely, this inn had little popularity.
Only an old shopkeeper was at the front desk.
And the man who entered it was naturally the follower of Hongchen Emperor Son, who had been sent flying by Jun Xiaoyao's palm earlier.
Seeing the old shopkeeper, the man said, "Huangquan Gate, I have a business deal here, do you dare to take it?"
The Huangquan Gate was one of the famous Immortal Force level assassin organizations in the Dark Star Sea.
"Hehe, interesting. As long as the money is enough, is there any business our Huangquan Gate doesn't dare to take?"
The old shopkeeper wiped the jade bowl in his hand with one hand and smiled faintly.
"The target of the assassination is Yun Clan Young Master, Jun Xiaoyao, and he is currently in Blood Moon City."
"What?"
The old shopkeeper's hand trembled, and the jade bowl in his hand fell.
Just now, he said there was no business he didn't dare to take.
However, upon hearing the name of Yun Clan Young Master, the old shopkeeper's heart also skipped a beat.
This... there really was a problem.
As an assassin organization, their intelligence was naturally the most well-informed.
And about Jun Xiaoyao, even if they didn't deliberately inquire, his reputation was thunderous.
The old shopkeeper was even afraid that if they did this, let alone the Huangquan Gate, even the entire Dark Star Sea would be razed to the ground by the Yun Clan Emperor Clan.
"What, are you afraid? However, your Huangquan Gate seems to be under the Dark Alliance's command."
"With that big shot from the Dark Alliance covering you, would you still be afraid of that Yun Clan Young Master?" the man asked.
"This, please allow this old man to ask for instructions from my superiors," the old shopkeeper said.
"Alright, I'll wait for your news."
The man left.
Watching his departing back, a thoughtful look flashed in the old shopkeeper's eyes.
"He should be that Hongchen Emperor Son's follower. Could it be that the Hongchen Emperor Son wants to make a move against Yun Clan Young Master?"
The Hongchen Emperor Son is the son of the Hongchen Great Emperor.
And Yun Clan Young Master is the son of Emperor Tianya.
"Tsk tsk, this is a big shot against a big shot. It's better to ask for instructions from superiors first."
"When Immortals fight, Mortals suffer. If I make the wrong choice, there might be a crisis of life and death..."
The old shopkeeper shook his head.
After leaving a branch of the Huangquan Gate, the man's face carried a disdainful sneer.
"I knew they would be a bit timid; I can't put all my hopes on one organization."
Subsequently, the man went to find two other assassin organizations in the Dark Star Sea that were as famous as the Huangquan Gate.
Guimen Pass and Blood Luo Valley.
Neither of them immediately agreed to the man, also saying they needed to ask for instructions from their superiors.
"What exactly is going on? Has Jun Xiaoyao's reputation grown so large that even the assassin organizations of the Dark Star Sea don't dare to touch him?"
The man frowned.
Perhaps being accustomed to following the Hongchen Emperor Son had made him a bit overconfident, believing there was no one who couldn't be provoked.
Finally, after several days.
The three major assassin organizations and the man agreed to meet at a certain place.
"Have you finally made a decision?"
The man looked at the people from the three major assassin organizations who appeared.
"Of course."
An assassin from the Huangquan Gate stepped out.
"You can set off now," the man said indifferently.
But...
The people from the three major assassin organizations made no move, merely staring at the man.
"You..."
The man's eyes trembled, and his heart seemed to stop beating.
"Damn it!"
He wasn't stupid; he immediately pulled back and retreated.
The assassins from the three major assassin organizations all made their move simultaneously!
