Chu Tingting took the lead. Her eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's. She shouted, "Watch out!"

She quickly formed seals with her hands, and the Qi in her body rushed out like a surging tide.

The move of Whispering Lan Ze is a unique skill that she has practiced for many years. It uses Qi as a guide and creates thousands of Qi threads like drizzle. It looks gentle, but actually contains deadly murderous intent.

Those Qi threads continuously flowed out from her fingertips and quickly formed a dense Qi net in the air.

Each strand of Qi was flashing with a faint blue light, like a meteor across the night sky, rushing towards the man in black with unstoppable momentum.

Wherever the Qi net passed, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, making a sizzling sound. The sand and stones on the ground were also swept up by this powerful Qi flow, forming a cloud of dust.

However, the man in black seemed to have predicted Chu Tingting's attack.

The man in black sneered and stood still.

And just when the Qi net was about to cover him, he moved quickly with a strange movement.

His movements were light and smooth, like a fish swimming in the water or leaves falling in the wind, and every dodge was just right.

The Qi net was completely watertight and did not touch the corner of his clothes at all. He thus avoided Chu Tingting's fierce attack without any harm.

Chu Tingting was shocked when she saw this. She had never seen anyone who could avoid her whispers so easily.

This level of familiarity! This kind of prediction that predicted her prediction!!
She stared at the man in black with doubt and vigilance in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "Have you also practiced the Whispering Lanze? Why can you avoid my attack so easily?"

The man in black did not answer, but just stood there quietly, and the Qi around him began to surge slowly.

His Qi is different from Chu Tingting's. Chu Tingting's Qi is a lively blue, while his Qi is a deep black, like an endless abyss, exuding a chilling aura.

Suddenly, the man in black moved.

He raised his hands casually, without any unnecessary movements, and with just a simple wave, a powerful Qi wave surged out.

Then, Qi threads also flowed out from his fingertips. It was also the Whispering Lan Ze, but this move performed by him was completely different from Chu Tingting's.

His Qi threads became more condensed, and each one was like a materialized sharp blade, flashing a cold light.

The speed of the Qi threads is so fast that it is almost impossible to see their trajectory. They are interwoven in the air to form an impenetrable web of death.

This Qi net not only covers a wider area, but is also more powerful.

The surrounding air was compressed by this powerful Qi pressure, and deep cracks appeared on the ground, as if it was torn apart by this force.

Chu Tingting was shocked when she saw the man in black performing the perfect Whispering Lan Ze.

She could feel that this move far surpassed hers in terms of both the use of Qi and the sophistication of the move.

She realized that the opponent she was facing was of unfathomable strength.

If the man in black really attacks me, then... maybe I can only fight to the death.

Chu Tingting was ready for a fight to the death, but the man in black put away his Qi and looked at her coldly, saying in a low and cold voice: "You are not my opponent yet."

Chu Tingting gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling.

She was unwilling to be defeated so easily by the other party, and even more unwilling to not even know the other party's identity and purpose.

She took a step forward and asked with a determined look, "Who are you? Who is your opponent? Why are you looking for me?"

The man in black remained silent, and there was no emotion in his eyes, as if Chu Tingting's question was meaningless to him.

When Chu Tingting saw that he didn't answer, she became more and more anxious.

She once again mobilized the Chi in her body, preparing to launch another attack. Even though she knew she was no match for the opponent, she still wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

However, just as she was about to make a move, the man in black suddenly moved.

His figure flashed like a bolt of lightning and he quickly retreated.

Seeing this, Chu Tingting immediately chased after him.

She was moving extremely fast, leaving a trail of afterimages on the ground, but the man in black always kept a certain distance from her, making it impossible for her to catch up.

Just when Chu Tingting was about to despair, the man in black suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned around and looked at Chu Tingting, with a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He said calmly, "Don't think I will let you go. I will eliminate everyone related to him, including you."

After saying this, the Qi around the man in black began to surge again.

This time, his Qi was no longer simply black, but was mixed with a strange red light, like a burning flame, emitting a strong breath of destruction.

Wrapped in this powerful Qi, the man in black gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving Chu Tingting standing there alone, her heart full of fear and confusion.

Chu Tingting stared at the direction where the man in black disappeared, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She knew that from this moment on, she was involved in a huge unknown conspiracy. And who was the mysterious man in black and the "he" he mentioned?

All of this was like a fog, shrouding Chu Tingting's heart.

Chu Tingting slowly closed her eyes and began to recall every detail of the battle with the man in black.

She carefully recalled the characteristics of the black-clothed man's Qi and the changes in his moves, trying to find some clues. Even the slightest clue could be the key to solving the mystery.

In the world of extraordinary people, the use of each kind of Qi and the practice of each technique are closely related to the practitioner's background, sect, and personal talent.

However, after recalling for a long time, Chu Tingting still had no clue.

Although the black-clad man's Qi and moves were different from anything she was familiar with, there was a vague feeling of familiarity in them.

The Whispering Lan Ze that Chu Tingting practices originated from the martial arts manual left by her grandfather Chu Yang.

In the past, Chu Yang's martial arts books were famous, and some of the moves were imitated by people in later generations. This was a common thing in the development of martial arts.

After all, in the martial arts world, learning from each other and bringing forth the new is the norm.

However, Huiyu Lanze is extremely special.

This technique has always been a family secret, never passed down to outsiders, and has always been passed down in the Chu family bloodline. Now, it has been cracked by a mysterious man in black using a similar move in the depths of the desert, which is really incredible.

Chu Tingting's heart couldn't help but ripple, and a bold guess quietly emerged in her mind - could it be that the man in black just now was acquainted with her grandfather Chu Yang?
Otherwise, how could he know about Lan Ze's never-before-seen gossip, and even be able to easily resolve his attack?
Thinking of this, Chu Tingting closed her lips and fell into silence for a long time.

Her eyes were filled with complex expressions, confusion, vigilance, and a hint of curiosity intertwined together.

She raised her eyes and looked towards the empty desert temple.

This ancient building, eroded by wind and sand, exudes a mysterious and lonely atmosphere.

The sunlight shines through the mottled walls and onto the ground, forming patches of light and shadow.

In the center of the temple, an ancient stone pavilion stands quietly, as if telling stories from the past.

Chu Tingting stared at the stone pavilion in front of her, knowing in her heart that it was not advisable to stay here for long.

The appearance of the mysterious man in black made the place even more mysterious.

She took a deep breath, packed her bag, turned around resolutely, and took the first step to leave the desert temple.

Perhaps, the surge in spiritual energy in Youyou Mountain over the years is closely related to the great battle that took place between his grandfather Chu Yang and himself.

The bamboo forest is deep and quiet, and the bamboo leaves rustle in the breeze, as if whispering ancient secrets.

Zhuge Heping walked forward cautiously, pushing aside layers of dense branches and leaves. The scene before him made him stand still for a moment - a pool of jade spring came into view, and it was exactly the same as the spring he had seen outside the bamboo forest before.

The spring water is clear and appears colorful under the refraction of sunlight, as if it was carefully painted by nature with the most brilliant colors.

The water rippled slightly, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, which aroused Zhuge Heping's curiosity. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to touch the magical spring water.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the water, a stone flew like lightning and hit him heavily.

The huge impact force caused him to lose his balance and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhuge Heping was shocked, and the pain made his facial features twisted together.

He struggled to get up and opened his eyes angrily, wanting to see who was attacking him secretly.

What came into view was the strange woman I had seen before.

"Don't touch this." The woman had no expression on her face and her voice was as calm as a still well. It was Sister Baoer.

She looked at Zhuge Heping with a hint of indifference in her eyes, "You won't be able to bear it."

Sister Baoer paused for a moment, her eyes fell on the spring water, and continued, "This spring water is very strange, it is icy cold, and ordinary people can't bear it at all."

As she spoke, she looked Zhuge Heping up and down. "Besides, I see that you are also an extraordinary person. If your Qi is sucked away by this spring water, you will have to be an ordinary person from now on."

Zhuge Heping frowned, his face full of distrust. He curled his lips and said with a bit of disdain: "I don't believe what you said."

After hearing this, Sister Baoer stopped trying to persuade him. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of mockery, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Then you can try it."

Seeing that Zhuge Heping was determined to put his hand into the strange spring water, Sister Baoer looked helpless but did not hesitate. She quickly grabbed his wrist and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Why don't you listen to my advice, kid?"

Zhuge Heping was suddenly pulled and subconsciously tried to break free, muttering, "What are you doing? Don't stop me!"

But before he could exert any strength, he saw Sister Baoer lightly tap her fingertips, and a wisp of Qi like a silk thread wrapped around a bamboo leaf that fell beside her.

In the blink of an eye, the bamboo leaf with qi slowly fell into the spring water.

At first, the spring water was as calm as a mirror, without any movement at all.

Seeing this, Zhuge Heping immediately perked up and complained unhappily, "Look, it's not as mysterious as you say, it's nothing at all!"

But before he finished speaking, a strange scene occurred. The Qi attached to the bamboo leaves seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and was continuously swallowed by the spring water.

The absorbed Qi turned into a drop of bright red and merged into the colorful spring water. The red part, which originally accounted for the smallest proportion, expanded slightly visibly to the naked eye. Although the increase was not large, it was shocking enough.

Sister Baoer crossed her arms and looked at Zhuge Heping with a raised eyebrow. Her tone was calm but contained a hint of "I told you so a long time ago": "Well, I didn't lie to you. I really did it for your own good."

With the facts before his eyes, Zhuge Heping's face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato, full of embarrassment and regret.

He scratched his head and stammered, "I'm sorry... I misunderstood you." Zhuge Heping looked puzzled, staring at Sister Baoer, and asked, "Who are you? And why do you know this place so well?"

Sister Baoer tilted her head, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she replied calmly: "I can't remember who I am either."

Zhuge Heping asked: "Then why did you come here?"

Sister Baoer raised her head slightly, as if recalling something, and said slowly: "I was in this mountain when I woke up. Over the years, I have visited many places, such as an island full of mushrooms and large sand dunes. But after visiting so many places, I still feel that this place is the most comfortable."

Zhuge Heping then asked, "Why don't you go out and see the world?"

Sister Baoer waved her hands nonchalantly, saying cheerfully, "There's no need to go out. I just like bamboos. There are a lot of bamboos here, and I feel comfortable staying here."

Similarly, on the other side, Wang also gave the same response.

Facing Chu Yang's company and questioning over the past few days, he looked relaxed and his tone was full of satisfaction: "I feel comfortable herding these cows. Although these cows look very strange, each one looks like a mushroom, but I feel that my life is now full of flavor."

"Every day I listen to the wind, look at the clouds, and cook myself a delicious mushroom stew from time to time. This little life is so comfortable!"

"That's all? You've been in this paradise-like place for so long, you really didn't discover anything else? Have any strangers come here recently? Or have you noticed any unusual movements?" Chu Yang asked again.

When Wang Ye heard Chu Yang asking the same question again, a trace of impatience instantly appeared on his face. He curled his lips and said with disdain, "Chu Yang, you are so boring. You have asked this question eight hundred times. My ears are almost callused. You keep asking the same question over and over again. Can't you try something new?"

As he spoke, Wang Ye casually put the bull whip in his hand over his shoulder, turned around and prepared to leave.

At the same time, without turning around, he shouted: "I don't want to stay with you anymore, and you don't want to follow me. I want to herd my cattle and eat my mushroom stew in peace and quiet!"

After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked towards the herd of cattle.

But then, Chu Yang's question forced Wang Ye to stop.

"Then, do you know where this Taoist robe you are wearing came from, Wang Ye?"

Wang Ye turned around, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then said: "Of course I don't know. I told you, I know nothing!" (End of this chapter)
