Chapter 608: The Mysterious Shadow Lin'er?
The women were all extremely curious about Wu Tian's words, but it was Zi Yan, the most inquisitive of them all, who immediately ran outside.
She called over the four elders and started questioning them.
"Indeed, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan has been in great trouble recently. Several of their powerful members have mysteriously disappeared and among them, there was even a Dou Zun expert!"
Elder Qi stroked his beard and reported respectfully to the Pavilion Master and his wives.
"They've been desperately searching for the perpetrator. The most shocking part is this so called killer is just one person!"
"Moreover… it's said that the culprit is actually a mysterious woman."
The moment the elders finished speaking, all the women turned to Wu Tian, staring at him like he was some freak of nature.
How did their man, after becoming a Dou Sheng, suddenly develop the ability to predict the future?!
Wait
A woman?!
That was definitely not good news.
Because a woman with such immense power was bound to attract Wu Tian's attention.
Which meant…
Another addition to their ranks was imminent!
Wu Tian immediately felt their suspicious gazes and understood exactly what they were thinking.
Them merely thinking about it wasn't the problem
What worried him was if they decided to ban him from their bed tonight.
Wouldn't that mean he'd be left staring at the moon and drinking tea in sorrow?!
That kind of life…
Wasn't worth living.
Rolling his eyes, he shifted his gaze toward the four white bearded elders.
As if sensing his unspoken demand, the elders quickly continued their report:
"This matter has been spreading like wildfire recently. But because of Cai Lin Pavilion's war against the Soul Hall, the news was overshadowed and hasn't spread beyond the Beast Domain."
"Right now, many people are curious about this mysterious figure who dares to openly hunt the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan and has even succeeded!"
Wu Tian nodded in satisfaction, then replied with a calm smile:
"No matter who she is since she's causing trouble for the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, that just makes it easier for us to explore the ruins."
"For now, let's wait for the Ancient Ruins to open."
However, the women's gazes didn't shift away from Wu Tian.
Because something felt off.
Why was he completely uninterested in a woman strong enough to shake the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan?
That was way too unusual.
As suspicion filled their hearts, the sharp eyed Cai Lin suddenly smirked knowingly.
Her crimson lips curled slightly, and she rolled her eyes at Wu Tian.
So that's why.
No wonder he wasn't interested.
Feeling Cai Lin's piercing gaze, Wu Tian could only smile awkwardly.
As expected he could never hide anything from his wife.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, countless strong warriors who had arrived for the ruins heard the news that Cai Lin Pavilion's Pavilion Master was personally here
And they immediately turned around and fled.
Each and every fighter who had arrived full of excitement, dreaming of Ancient Ruins treasures, was scared out of their minds upon hearing the name Yan Sheng.
Some didn't even dare step foot in the Bone Mountains.
But of course
Where there were cowards, there were also those bold enough to take the risk.
Standing atop a hill, Wu Tian's gaze swept across the endless mountain ranges, locking onto the distorted space at the center of the ruins.
He remained silent, lost in thought.
With the passage of three days, the distortion in space had become increasingly faint.
The seal that had existed for countless years was on the verge of dissipating completely.
At most, it would take two more days before the Ancient Ruins once again saw the light of day.
But Wu Tian wasn't waiting for the ruins.
He was waiting for…
The people who would arrive.
"Whoosh!"
A barely audible sound of something slicing through the wind echoed in the night sky.
This sound was quiet
But it couldn't escape Wu Tian's senses.
A shadow, like a falcon diving from the heavens, suddenly descended at high speed!
Sensing the familiar aura, Wu Tian didn't move.
But in the tent behind him
The women immediately jolted awake and rushed out!
"Who dares to attack Wu Tian gege?!"
A fierce cry echoed as the tent was torn apart.
Up in the sky, the shadow trembled slightly.
But what followed was even more terrifying
Within that soft, feminine voice, a majestic dragon's roar was embedded
Causing the very air to shudder violently.
In the stillness of the night, such a soul shaking dragon's cry would have terrified anyone nearby.
Even the surrounding magical beasts were shaken awake, instinctively prostrating themselves on the ground, too afraid to move.
Yet
The black figure in the sky remained completely unfazed.
Her descent didn't slow in the slightest.
As the women's expressions darkened, a few of them suddenly froze.
"Wait a minute…"
"This figure… looks familiar."
The shadowy figure was petite, but the curves beneath the fabric revealed an undeniable femininity.
Judging from her figure alone
She was clearly an exceptionally beautiful woman.
A tight, dark outfit covered most of her delicate frame, leaving only pale hands and a slender, graceful neck exposed.
But what stood out the most
Was the grotesque, ghostly mask covering her face.
It resembled something worn by high priests from an ancient tribe, exuding a sense of mystery and eeriness.
"…Could she be the one who's been targeting the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan?"
Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er exchanged glances, brows furrowing slightly as they came to the same realization.
But before they could speak
Zi Yan's purple eyes suddenly lit up in excitement.
"Ohhh so that's why! No wonder this bastard didn't react to her at all! She was already one of us!"
One of us?
Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan blinked in confusion.
Did that mean…
She was already their sister?!
Not again…
Another freakishly strong sister?!
Their so called "genius" titles meant nothing anymore in this family…
And then, before anyone could say another word
The shadow crashed into Wu Tian's chest, throwing herself into his arms.
"Wu Tian gege, Lin'er missed you so much~!"
That soft, sweet voice rang out, sending shockwaves through Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan.
Wait, wait, wait
Did she just say… Lin'er?!
Wu Tian held the woman tight, gently stroking her silky black hair as he chuckled:
"You've worked hard, Lin'er."
"Hehe~ Wu Tian gege, I caught so many big snakes!"
"But… they managed to track my aura "
"So they should be arriving soon!"
Hearing this, Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan's minds went blank.
Sister confirmed.
And…
She was a complete menace.
Wu Tian grinned.
"Perfect timing."
