Chapter 0420 – Fatal Battle – Absolute Return

After three rounds of wine, Jian Wuji and Yang Shi had already called themselves brothers and sisters, hooking shoulders and looking like they hated each other.

“Brother Yang, why don’t you come with me to the Central Plains as a guest?” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

“Junior brother begs for it, and I hope that Brother Sword will teach me more.” Yang Shi said in a hurry.

The two of them pushed their cups together and the atmosphere was warm, as if they had been close friends for many years.

Cold Snow watched from the sidelines with a dark feeling in her heart.

She originally thought that she was a cold-hearted and cold-hearted person who didn’t know how to get along with people, but today, she realized that she wasn’t useless.

She was able to understand Yang shi’s feelings, able to think from his point of view, and even, to say something against her will to comfort him.

‘So, I can do all that too.’

Cold snow secretly said in her heart, she suddenly realized that she was not as cold and heartless as she thought she was.

She used to always be used to being alone and facing everything on her own, so what she knew about herself was only on the surface.

And today, in her conversation with Yang Shi, she saw a side of herself that she didn’t know.

‘Perhaps it is only in the process of interacting with people that one can truly understand oneself.’

Cold snow secretly said in her heart, she suddenly had a trace of curiosity towards Jian Wuji.

‘What kind of a man is he really?’

“Fairy Cold, you should go back.”

Sword Wuji’s voice pulled Cold Snow back from her contemplation.

“Where is the Young Sect Master?” Cold Snow asked.

“I still have to talk to Brother Yang, by candlelight.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

When Yang Shi heard this, his heart flinched as he suddenly realized that Jian Wuji, was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

‘What the hell is he trying to do?’

“Brother Sword, we’ve already had quite a lot to drink today, why don’t we get together again some other time?” Yang Shi said.

He’d had a lot to drink, but his mind, which was still clear, knew that he couldn’t drink any more.

“Another day? We’re having a good chat right now, why do we need to change the day?” Jian Wuji said, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Yang Shi looked at Jian Wuji and secretly grumbled in his heart.

‘This guy, is he a wine bug?’

“I have things to do and must go back.” Yang Shi said.

“Alright, since Brother Yang has something to do, we’ll meet again some other time.” Jian Wuji said, with a hint of regret in his tone.

“Farewell.”

Jian Wuji and Cold Snow got up to take their leave, and Yang Shi sent them out of the guest hall.

“Brother Sword, Fairy Cold, take care.” Yang Shi said.

“Brother Yang stays behind.” Jian Wuji said, “By the way, if you find the ‘Extreme Cold Body’, be sure to inform me.”

“Definitely, definitely.” Yang Shi said.

Jian Wuji and Cold Snow left the Northern Blood Sect, and Yang Shi looked at their backs, his heart filled with doubts.

‘What the hell is he trying to do?’

……

Jian Wuji and Cold Snow walked side by side, the moonlight sprinkled on them, pulling their silhouettes, extraordinarily slender.

“Are you really planning to, with Yang Shi, talk by candlelight?” Cold Snow asked.

“Of course not.” Jian Wuji said with a smile, “I don’t have that kind of free time.”

“Then why did you say that?” Coldsnow asked.

“I just want to, let him let his guard down.” Jian Wuji said, “I don’t want to, let him know that we already suspect him.”

“What do you suspect him of?” Coldsnow asked.

“I suspect that he wants to use us.” Jian Wuji said, “He wants to use our hands to get rid of his father, and Summer Knot.”

Cold Snow sniffed and suddenly realized.

“I see.” She said, “No wonder you’ve been testing him.”

“Not bad.” Jian Wuji nodded and said, “Yang Shi, is not a simple character, we must be careful in order to avoid being utilized by him.”

“I know.” Coldsnow said, “I’ll be careful.”

“I don’t feel comfortable with you going back alone.” Jian Wuji said, “I’ll send you back.”

“No need.” Coldsnow said, “I can go back by myself.”

“No way.” Jian Wuji said, “This is an extraordinary time, it’s too dangerous for you to go back alone.”

“Alright.” Cold Snow couldn’t argue with Jian Wuji, so she had no choice but to agree.

As the two continued to walk forward, Jian Wuji suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Coldsnow asked.

“Someone is following us.” Jian Wuji said.

“Who is it?” Coldsnow asked.

“I don’t know.” Jian Wuji shook his head and said, “However, it shouldn’t be someone from the Northern Blood Sect.”

“So what do we do?” Coldsnow asked.

“Don’t bother with them.” Jian Wuji said, “Let’s keep going.”

The two continued on their way, and the man who was following them, stayed behind them.

“They seem, like, harmless.” Cold Snow said.

“Perhaps.” Jian Wuji said, “However, it’s better for us to be careful.”

The two picked up their pace, and the man who was following them, picked up his pace.

“They’re, like, about to make a move.” Cold Snow said.

“I know.” Jian Wuji said, “Let’s prepare to meet the battle.”

The two men stopped and turned to face the man who was following them.

Under the moonlight, several dark shadows, slowly walked out of the darkness.

“Who are you people?” Jian Wuji asked.

“The one who took your life.” One of the dark shadows said.

“Just based on you guys?” Jian Wuji sneered and said, “You guys aren’t qualified.”

“Yeah?” The other dark figure said, “Let’s try it then.”

After saying that, several black shadows, simultaneously towards Jian Wuji and Cold Snow, pounced over.

Jian Wuji drew his Black Demon Sword and met him.

Cold Snow also drew her longsword and joined the fight.

……

Early the next morning, Yang Shi came to the Sect Master Hall early.

He had drunk a lot last night and still had a slight headache, but in his heart, he was filled with excitement.

”I must obtain the ‘Extreme Cold Body’!”

He was secretly determined.

He walked into the Sect Master’s Hall and bowed respectfully towards the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master, who was sitting on the main seat.

“Father, you wanted to see me?”

“How was your chat last night, with the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master?” The Northern Blood Sect Sect Master asked.

“We had a nice chat.” Yang Shi said, “He promised that he would help us and find the ‘Extreme Cold Body’.”

“Is that so?” The Northern Blood Sect Sect Master’s eyes flashed with a glint as he heard this.

“Why is he helping us?” He asked.

“He said that he needs the ‘Body of Extreme Cold’ to accomplish his plan.” Yang Shi said.

“His plan?” The Northern Blood Sect’s Sectmaster frowned slightly as he heard this.

“He didn’t say, what his plan is.” Yang Shi said, “However, I feel that his plan, must be extraordinary.”

“I see.” The Northern Blood Sect Master nodded and said, “You go down.”

“Yes.”

Yang Shi respectfully saluted and turned to leave.

He walked out of the great hall, his heart filled with excitement.

”I can, finally, be free of my father’s control!”

He secretly resolved to obtain the ”Extreme Cold Body” and then, using it, he would realize his ambition.

……

At the same time, a carriage, was speeding towards the Northern Blood Gate.

Around the carriage, there were two guards on horseback, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

They were the guards responsible for escorting the ‘Extremely Cold Body’.

“Be careful.” One of the guards said, “We’re almost at the Northern Blood Gate.”

“I know.” The other guard said, “I’ll be careful.”

They accelerated their speed and sped towards the direction of the Northern Blood Sect.

……

“Up ahead it seems, there’s something going on.” One of the guards said.

“What’s wrong?” Another guard asked.

“Look, that tree in front, it seems to have been cut down.” The guard said.

“Yes?” The other guard sniffed and hurriedly looked towards the front.

Sure enough, not far ahead, a large tree, fell across the center of the road, the road, completely blocked.

“Let’s go over there.” The guard said.

The two rode up to the large tree.

“Be careful.” One of the guards said, “This could be a trap.”

“I know.” The other guard said, “I’ll be careful.”

The two men dismounted and watched their surroundings warily.

“Like, no one.” One of the guards said.

“Let’s go over there.” Another guard said.

The two walked over to the large tree and examined it closely.

“Nothing out of the ordinary has been found.” One of the guards said.

“Perhaps, we are overthinking it.” Another guard said.

“It’s better for us to be careful.” The guard said, “Let’s remove this tree, first.”

The two men worked together and moved the large tree, to the side of the road.

“Okay, let’s go.” One of the guards said.
