The smile on Di Yi’s face immediately disappeared. He said in dismay, “Your only task was to capture two mediocre warriors, but you can’t even accomplish such a simple task. You have let me down this time round, Cyan-robe.”

Cyan-robed Emissary said, “Zhang Ruochen’s forth elder brother and ninth elder sister weren’t strong at all. However, there is a group of mysterious masters secretly protecting them.”

“On the first try, I sent out two teams of glazed knights. However, all of them mysteriously died before they even got the chance to exit the Eastern Holy Land.”

“On the second occasion, I dispatched 37 top-notch killers led by Xu Tiantu and divided them into six groups. Each group took a separate route, but they vanished before arriving at Yunwu Commandery, and we lost contact.”

On hearing this, Di Yi looked somber and said, “You may get up first!”

“Thank you, master,” said Cyan-robed Emissary as she stood up.

Di Yi said thoughtfully, “Xu Tiantu was well-known since 60 years ago, and he ranks seventh amongst the killer of Blood Cloud Tower. Even a killer like him disappeared… There must be some great force that is secretly helping Zhang Ruochen.”

Cyan-robed Emissary said, “It had to be Martial Market Bank. They are the only ones who possess such great power in the Eastern Region; the only ones who can secretly annihilate the masters I sent out.”

Di Yi nodded and said, “What about the third time?”

Cyan-robed Emissary said, “On the third occasion, it was predecessor Half-Saint Yuanyin who personally went to Yunwu Commandery.”

“Since it was predecessor Half-Saint Yuanyin who went, I am sure he will complete his mission,” Yi Di breathed a sigh of relief.

“Whoosh!”

A skinny old man, who looked like an enormous black bat, flew to the boundary of the sacred mountain towards them. He came to rest on a high plateau behind Di Yi and Cyan-robed Emissary.

Di Yi and Cyan-robed Emissary immediately saluted the old man, greeting him, “We pay our respects to you, Half-Saint YuanYing.”

Half-Saint Yuanying’s withered hands were covering his chest. Blood was pouring out from between his fingers, dripping onto the ground.

Di Yi and Cyan-robed Emissary were shocked to find that even Half-Saint Yuanying, someone with a high level of cultivation, could be wounded by his opponent.

“How did this happen, predecessor? Did Martial Market Bank send forth masters of Half-Saint Class just to protect two ordinary warriors?” asked Yi Di.

Half-Saint Yuanying shook his head and replied, “It wasn’t the Martial Market Bank. It was Half-Saint Muhan from Moon Worship Demonic Sect. I did a thorough investigation and found that the two teams we sent forth had all been killed by masters of Moon Worship Demonic Sect.”

“How could it be the Moon Worship Demonic Sect?”

Di Yi was taken aback. He started pondering and said, “Unless… could Zhang Ruochen be related to Moon Worship Demonic Sect?”

“I am badly injured, so I shouldn’t be talking too much.”

In a flash, Half-Saint Yuanying disappeared from the high plateau and transported himself to a three-story high palace to nurse his wound.

Cyan-robed Emissary was somewhat surprised, and she asked, “Young master, this is very strange.”

Di Yi nodded and said, “There is no reason for Moon Worship Demonic Sect to wage a war against us, the Black Market, for the sake of Zhang Ruochen. Don’t tell me, Zhang Ruochen… no, that’s impossible.”
