Unsheathed

Meanwhile, after Yuan Xuan parted ways with Chen Ping'an...

When the young man realized that Du Wensi was a kindly senior who didn't speak very much, he actually became more talkative than normal, recounting the interesting experiences and observations from his trip to Du Wensi.

As they walked, Du Wensi turned his head once, whether intentionally or not, and he glanced at the disappearing figure of the young wanderer. The young Golden Core Tier cultivator from the Flax Robe Sect who enjoyed an equal standing with Mural City's Yang Lin had a contemplative look on his face.

A few things had taken place at Meticulous Skin City, and it was said that a female official had been severely wounded by a young sword immortal at Crow Peak. Not only that, but Fan Yunluo had almost died by the blade of the young sword immortal as well. In the end, it was White Cage City's Pu Rang who had stepped forward to stop the young sword immortal, preventing the commotion from becoming even greater.

Du Wensi was curious about how Yuan Xuan had become acquainted with the young wanderer. This person didn't seem like a reckless cultivator, so why was he so intense and unyielding? He presumably hadn't been in Malicious Ghost Valley for too long, yet he had directly caught Pu Rang's attention already? No one in Malicious Ghost Valley could stop Pu Rang if he were hellbent on killing someone. Even Sect Leader Zhu Quan couldn't stop him, and perhaps the Unpolished Jade Tier heroic spirit from Skeleton Wall City couldn't stop him either.

Pu Rang was especially cruel and vicious when he targeted sword cultivators, never holding back as he killed them.

Du Wensi felt slightly anxious as he thought about the subtle movements and hidden undercurrents flowing through the various large cities in Malicious Ghost Valley in the recent years.

He had an imperceptible feeling that a storm was brewing.

Du Wensi could already be regarded as the Qi refiner who cared least about mortal non-cultivation matters in the Flax Robe Sect, and from the sect leader to his fellow disciples, everyone would consciously accommodate this and allow him to not become involved in such matters. This allowed him to put his complete focus on cultivation and breaking through to the next tier. However, even Du Wensi was able to detect the restlessness in Malicious Ghost Valley now, so this was a clear reflection of the seriousness of the situation.

As for Meticulous Skin City's Fan Yunluo announcing to the outside world that he was her sworn brother, Du Wensi didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. In fact, he was quite impressed that she was able to come up with something like this, so he decided to let it be.

The foundation of a cultivator's Great Dao was like a large mountain. Mortal matters were like fleeting clouds, and the life cycle of vegetation and the flow of mountain streams didn't need to be retained, so there was no need to worry about these matters either.
