58: Showing holiness in front of others, but suffering in private

“This sword... you were the one who saved me before...”

Lin Qinghuang’s expression shifted, and she instantly recognized the burial flower sword.

During the Wansha House incident, she was ambushed by a Mysterious Person at the Tuojiang Realm mid-stage, and eventually, a black-robed man intervened and dealt with that Mysterious Person.

Now she understood; it was Xie Weilou who had acted at that time.

Not only that time, but also during the black market trip, a black-robed man appeared and killed the Black Dragon Pavilion Lord. Now it seems that person was still Xie Weilou.

No wonder she felt the backs of those two black-robed figures were somewhat inexplicably familiar.

“It’s good to be hidden. Otherwise, killing would be meaningless.”

Blood Sky Wolf sneered, gripping his long saber with both hands, his demonic aura completely erupting, not hiding his Tuojiang Realm Peak strength in the slightest.

“Sky Wolf Devours the Moon!”

Blood Sky Wolf let out a loud roar, his bloody long saber vibrated, and terrifying saber qi burst forth.

Above, a bloody crescent moon inexplicably appeared. This was not a crescent moon, but rather bloody saber qi. The saber qi was mighty, incredibly sharp, covered the sky, and was extremely domineering.

Boom!

The bloody saber qi slashed down with overwhelming power, the bloody light dazzling, and a rolling murderous aura.

“An interesting strike.”

Xie Weilou commented indifferently. He flicked his sleeve, and the burial flower sword in front of him instantly shot towards the sky.

Boom!

The burial flower sword clashed with the bloody saber qi, and the terrifying bloody saber qi was instantly blown apart, blood light splattering, and saber qi overflowing.

Xie Weilou took a step, instantly appearing in the sky. He grabbed the burial flower sword, flicked his finger, and the sword scabbard shot towards Blood Sky Wolf like a star, moving extremely fast and carrying terrifying pressure.

Blood Sky Wolf had no time to dodge and subconsciously put his bloody long saber in front of him.

Bang!

The sword scabbard struck the saber body, emitting a resounding boom, and the powerful force directly sent Blood Sky Wolf flying.

Xie Weilou’s eyes filled with killing intent. He immediately gripped the long sword, his body vanished from its original spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Blood Sky Wolf.

Boom!

Xie Weilou unleashed a sword strike, a black sword light emerged, and instantly slashed onto Blood Sky Wolf’s saber body, destroying it like decaying wood, tearing through the sky, full of malevolent energy.

Crack!

Blood Sky Wolf’s bloody long saber was cut in half by a single sword strike, and mighty sword qi burst forth, ferociously striking Blood Sky Wolf’s chest.

“Ah…”

Blood Sky Wolf let out a tragic scream, his body split into two halves by a single sword, and blood gushed out.

Xie Weilou extended his hand, and the sword scabbard flew into his hand. The burial flower sword slowly returned to its scabbard, the Higanbana flower on its blade incredibly conspicuous.

Zheng!

As the burial flower sword completely entered its scabbard, Blood Sky Wolf’s two halves of a body turned into dust and quickly dissipated into the world.

“......”

Lin Qinghuang stared blankly at Xie Weilou. This guy, so strong, so absurd!

Xie Weilou put away the burial flower sword, flew down, and came to Qinghuang’s side, asking with a smile, “Qinghuang, is This Young Master handsome? Don’t you suddenly feel that my frail body has become incredibly robust, making you drool with desire?”

After Lin Qinghuang reacted, she asked with a complex expression, “You’ve hidden it very well. How did you cultivate?”

Three years, a full three years!

Xie Weilou was under her nose every day, yet she hadn’t detected the slightest aura of a cultivator from him. This was very strange.

This guy was truly too deeply hidden.

Killing Blood Sky Wolf at the Tuojiang Realm Peak with a single sword, what realm was he in now? Dao Repository Realm?

Xie Weilou said with a rich smile, “Lean your face closer, and This Young Master will tell you quietly.”

Lin Qinghuang took a step back, then stared at Xie Weilou with a cold expression, “If you’re so strong, why didn’t you act sooner?”

If this guy had acted sooner, she wouldn’t have been injured.

Xie Weilou sighed, “To show off in front of others, one must suffer in private. Moreover, if I had acted at the very beginning, where would the thrill of a hero saving the beauty be?”

Lin Qinghuang scoffed, “Is that so? Actually, you wanted to see if I was worth you revealing your strength, right? If I had ignored everything and just fled, you probably wouldn’t have revealed your true strength in front of me ever again.”

To put it bluntly, it was still a matter of trust.

This guy had hidden for three years, not knowing what his plans were. He definitely wouldn’t easily expose his cultivation. Now that he had exposed his cultivation in front of her, did this mean he trusted her?

It seemed her beating just now barely earned this guy’s trust, and the more she thought about it, the more irritating it became.

However, she could also understand. The Zhenxi Marquis Manor was now fraught with danger, and both the Old Marquis and the Marquis were dead. If Xie Weilou wasn’t careful, he probably wouldn’t live long either.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang speechlessly, “What do you take This Young Master for? There’s only one reason why I watched you get injured...”

“What reason?”

Lin Qinghuang raised an eyebrow.

Xie Weilou smiled mischievously, “Naturally, I covet your body. Now that you’re injured and can’t move, can’t This Young Master do whatever he wants with you?”

After speaking, he directly picked up Lin Qinghuang.

“You… let go of me…”

Lin Qinghuang’s expression changed in surprise. Was this guy really going to do whatever he wanted?

“Lin Qinghuang, why are you so thin? So light! Eat more, This Young Master likes you plump.”

Xie Weilou directly carried Qinghuang and flew into the distance.

Not long after.

Xie Weilou brought Lin Qinghuang to another cave. He didn’t actually do anything to Lin Qinghuang. He took out a pot of fine wine and began to enjoy it alone.

Lin Qinghuang sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating her cultivation technique, diligently healing her injuries.

Half an hour later.

Lin Qinghuang felt fine. She glanced at Xie Weilou. She had some doubts about Xie Weilou revealing his powerful cultivation, but she wisely didn’t ask.

Everyone has their own secrets, including herself, who had some secrets she didn’t want others to know.

“With your strength, since you entered Snow Wolf Valley, you must have looked for Yan Wugou, right?”

Lin Qinghuang slowly spoke.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, “I did! He has Tuojiang Realm Peak cultivation. Of course, that’s not the most crucial thing. The crucial thing is that he has a Mysterious Person with him, whom I can’t see through for now, so it’s not suitable to make a move...”

“Mysterious Person?”

Lin Qinghuang showed a surprised expression.

Xie Weilou mused, “It should be the soul body of a powerful demon race expert. I’m telling you this in hopes that you can be prepared.”

Since he had told Lin Qinghuang some things, he naturally didn’t want Lin Qinghuang to directly confront Yan Wugou, otherwise, that would be seeking death.

“Rest assured!”

Lin Qinghuang said with a calm expression.

If she were a reckless person, she would have died thousands of times already.

Even if the matter of the Lin family’s destruction was thoroughly investigated, she would not act rashly. One must lie low to launch a fatal blow.

Some people used her as a knife, but in fact, she was only the hilt; the real knife was the Tianquan Division.

Someone wanted to grasp the hilt and wield the sharp blade, but whether this blade could be used against the imperial family remained to be seen.

After all, the Tianquan Division belonged to the imperial family, and using the imperial family’s knife to strike down imperial family members would have limited effect.

To resolve the Lin family’s vendetta, the best way was not to rely on others, but on herself: frantically improving her cultivation. As long as her strength was sufficient, everything would be easy.

Woo woo woo~

Not long after, a blizzard arrived, and the fierce wind howled continuously, its sound sharp and piercing...
