Capítulo 31

String open—

Full bow—

Li Lingyan intends to burn Wudang Mountain to the ground tonight! This is because Wudang Mountain has been sheltering the people who escaped from Junshan.

Rong Yin's face was pale and cold. He had actually been forced step by step into such a desperate situation! His brows furrowed and then suddenly lifted. He landed gracefully from the top of Fuzhen Temple, picked up a bow and arrow from the ground, and stood coldly in front of Li Lingyan's arrow path.

He also drew his bow.

The arrowheads, clustered together and gleaming with cold light, were aimed directly at Li Lingyan's eyebrows.

That murderous aura instantly stunned the entire audience.

Li Lingyan's bow froze in his hand. The murderous intent he had unleashed upon drawing the bow was overwhelmed by Rong Yin's imposing aura, and his sharpness vanished.

The light on the tip of Rong Yin's arrow shone brighter and brighter; he was aiming to shoot the spot between Li Lingyan's eyebrows!

He wanted to...escape.

When Li Lingyan was enveloped by Rong Yin's murderous aura, a desire to dodge his sharp edge arose in his heart, but he could not dodge.

Once he starts a fire, he can't start it again.

His biggest mistake was not lighting the fire before Rong Yin drew his bow! He was too curious, which put him in a dilemma—if he showed the slightest opening, Rong Yin would shoot an arrow, but he lacked the confidence to fire the tinder in his hand! The reason Rong Yin didn't shoot was that he was waiting for Sheng Xiang and Bi Qiuhan to return and counter-encircle them!

If Rong Yin misses his chance with this arrow, Li Lingyan can reignite the fire once he gathers his killing intent again.

So he didn't shoot.

He used his murderous aura and menacing presence to force Li Lingyan to stop, remain in a stalemate, and dare not make any rash moves.

He endured the situation without showing any signs of fatigue; such a standoff was draining his energy. This was also why he tried to avoid physical altercations.

He didn't know how long he could keep up the act without Li Lingyan seeing through him.

Li Lingyan, however, was trying to figure out why Shengxiang and Bi Qiuhan were not in the formation.

"Light the fire!" The voice came from the bushes behind Li Lingyan.

Suddenly, a torch lit up.

The man was right next to Tang Tianshu. He tapped Tang Tianshu on the head, sighed, and said, "I heard you're the strategist? You're so stupid. Since Li Lingyan is in trouble, you should have run away quickly. Why are you yelling so loudly? Don't you want to die sooner?"

Rong Yin's imposing manner suddenly softened.

Li Lingyan sighed softly, "What a pity... it was just a little bit short."

Tang Tianshu, who was behind him, had been captured by someone, but Li Shiyu was nowhere to be seen.

The one who grabbed Tang Tianshu was Bi Qiuhan, and the one who held the torch was Sheng Xiang. Sheng Xiang's other hand was trying to stop Nan Ge's bleeding—when he lunged at Li Lingyan, a blood vessel near his neck had been cut. If it hadn't been discovered in time, his life would certainly have been in danger.

Shengxiang waved to Rongyin with a smile, "Rongrong, we're back."

Rong Yin twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, which could be considered a smile. "It's good that you're back."

"Would you commit suicide for Li Lingyan?" Shengxiang pointed to the Tang Tianshu in Bi Qiuhan's hand.

Li Lingyan said softly, "No."

"Then you'd better hurry up and leave." Shengxiang stuck out her tongue. "I wouldn't dare grab someone like you who's covered in thorns, nor would I dare to fight you. Anyway, you've already lost today. We need to clean up the wounded and defeated. If you want to go back and make a comeback, why don't we just call it a day to avoid wasting time, how about it?"

Li Lingyan smiled, his almond-shaped eyes crinkling, "I've long heard of Young Master Shengxiang's great reputation, and it's truly well-deserved."

"Goodbye, and don't bother seeing me out." Shengxiang waved to him with a smile. "When I'm confident I can catch you next time, I won't be so polite to you."

"I'll spare your life next time," Li Lingyan said gently.

"Oh, you're too kind, I'll gladly accept it." Shengxiang shook her sleeve and said unhappily, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Li Lingyan glanced at Tang Tianshu, then suddenly smiled, "I'll save you next time." With that, he darted into the depths of the dark forest. In the instant he disappeared, four white figures followed behind him, their departure carrying an impressive momentum.

Rong Yin then took a long breath.

He slowly lowered his bow and stood still.

Even Bi Qiuhan noticed the weariness on his face. "Is Master Bai injured?"

Shengxiang shoved Nange into Bi Qiuhan's hands, saying, "This guy is yours." He then pulled Rong Yin towards the Fuzhen Temple, asking, "Where's Yu Mutou?"

"They might be trapped on the first floor..." Rong Yin hadn't finished speaking when he entered Fuzhen Temple. He saw Yu Xiu supporting the leaning beam with one hand, his face full of determination. When he saw Sheng Xiang and Rong Yin enter, he smiled faintly.

"Let go. It doesn't matter if this Taoist temple collapses; everyone outside has already left," Rong Yin said calmly.

Yu Xiu withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed on Rong Yin. "Injured?"

Rong Yin shook his head, drowsiness rising within him. "I might suddenly fall asleep, but it's alright..." As he spoke, he became somewhat delirious when suddenly a warm, moist sensation touched his lips. He abruptly opened his eyes and saw Sheng Xiang's smiling eyes right in front of him, blinking as she gave him a firm kiss.

Even Yu Xiu was taken aback, and his expression, which had been blank, suddenly froze!

After kissing Rong Yin, Sheng Xiang released him. Looking at the dumbfounded expressions on Rong Yin and Yu Xiu's faces, he suddenly couldn't help but laugh. "I kissed Rong Rong, hahaha... Rong Rong was..." He felt he had gotten a huge advantage and laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight. "Oh dear, your expressions... If people outside saw them, they would definitely laugh themselves to death... Hahaha, oh dear, Rong Rong was forcibly kissed by me... I'm going to tell them..." He choked on his laughter. "Cough cough cough, it's just too funny."

"Shengxiang!" Rong Yin was surprised for a moment, but then calmed down. He knew that Shengxiang was doing it for his own good, and this weakness must not be spread. But seeing Shengxiang's smug smile, he couldn't help but feel displeased. "The matter is over, so let's not talk about it anymore."

Yu Xiu then came to his senses and shook his head dismissively, "Li Lingyan is gone?"

“I chased him away,” Shengxiang said smugly.

If Rong Yin's arrow hadn't drawn everyone's attention, would Tang Tianshu have been captured so easily by Bi Qiuhan? Not to mention, Li Ling was subdued by Sheng Xiang at the banquet; what eroded his confidence wasn't Tang Tianshu's capture, but Rong Yin's deadly aura. But Rong Yin didn't care whose credit it was, coldly smiling, "What were you and Bi Qiuhan doing?"
