The two soared into the air. Beside them, Moluo pointed downward. Soon after, a towering ancient beast burst through the sand, leaping out from the desert. Its colossal body, thousands of feet in size, heavily crashed into the newly formed lake.

Jian Wushuang shook his head and spoke, “So, it’s this thing causing trouble!”

“It’s not that simple. These ordinary folks can’t defend this lake at all. Before long, stronger tribes will assault this place!” Moluo explained.

Jian Wushuang might not have paid much attention to these matters, but over the years, Moluo, in addition to searching for Hu Qing, constantly monitored the mundane mortal world of the Western Desert to understand the rules governing this realm.

Hidden in plain sight, perhaps Jiang Shang, with Hu Qing, was concealed among the ordinary folks.

“Maybe!” Jian Wushuang nodded, and the two continued their search forward.

With his Thought power spanning billions of miles, searching like this, even an era wouldn’t be enough to find Hu Qing.

If the other party had moved elsewhere, his efforts would be in vain.

Jiang Shang probably wouldn’t dare to leave the Human Realm with Hu Qing now; it would be akin to walking into a trap.

Even if the Divine Temple didn’t intervene, they would likely inform him to go there.

They were probably still hiding here.

Causality!

This was the strongest connection between Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing.

Originally, he didn’t want to resort to such means, but continuing the search aimlessly was not a solution!

After so many years of searching, thad been wasted.

Searching without direction would only waste his cultivation time.

Now, the ExtrDao and the Sword Dao were both perfected.

With the inheritance from Nie Yuan, he absorbed another powerful Ultimate Sword Dao.

The Starry Sky lineage!

Although the sword aura it emitted wasn’t as insane as the ExtrDao, its killing intent was by no means weaker than the ExtrDao.

The ExtrDao wasn’t solely about killing; it pursued something broader than the Sword Dao.

The Sword Dao was unique, seeking the most potent killing intent among Myriad Daos.

The two complemented each other.

“Young Master, searching like this isn’t a solution. Why not mobilize people from the Qishen Temple to search together?” Moluo, standing on the side, also sensed the current urgency.

Jian Wushuang shook his head and asserted, “This matter must be handled personally!”

If others could do it, why not let Zhuang Zhong, with his Tribulation-level strength, go? It had to be him.

This was the ruthlessness of Zhen Ling. Knowing the relationship between the two, they still insisted on involving him.

Cause and effect added up!

Jian Wushuang couldn’t escape it.

If he didn’t kill Jiang Shang, not only would it be a major trouble for the Qishen Temple in the future, but it would also be his own catastrophe.

Currently, Zhen Ling was not in a hurry. If he could resolve the matter of Jiang Shang, Hu Qing still had a way out alive.

When it truly becunavoidable, Zhen Ling would probably take action personally. By then, even Hu Qing might be dealt with.

If it weren’t for cherishing talent, he might have acted long ago.

So, this time, he wasn’t just resolving personal grievances or going for streasures against Hu Qing.

It was to protect Hu Qing.

If he intervened, when Zhen Ling pushed this matter onto him, at least Hu Qing wouldn’t be completely crushed and would have a chance to leave the Qishen Temple.

Maybe, because of Jian Wushuang, he would continue to develop his potential and go even further.

The current Hu Qing, among the Inheritors, was considered a top talent, ranking in the top three, perhaps even second.

On Grave God Mountain, there were stier 6 Emperors, but there were no mentions of supreme-peak experts.

For such an extraordinary talent, he couldn’t easily give up.

Jian Wushuang also didn’t want Hu Qing to waste away because of a woman.

“Don’t blme!” Jian Wushuang muttered to himself. Then, he took out a treasure resembling a bright mirror, a drop of blood fell, instantly triggering a burst of Thought force that spread out, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Causality Pursuit!

A red line appeared in the sky, and Jian Wushuang’s eyes revealed a murderous intent as he muttered, “Chase after it!”

Following this line of causality could narrow down their target.

The two moved towards the southwestern border, concealing their presence along the way, avoiding unnecessary attention.

The strong figures in the Human Realm were on high alert these days; revealing their aura might attract unwanted trouble.

They weren’t concerned about being attacked but feared disrupting the bigger plan.

After flying for several days, the causality 1line becfainter and eventually disappeared near a dwindling oasis.

Jian Wushuang and Moluo suppressed their auras to the minimum, now indistinguishable from ordinary mortals.

“Right here!” Jian Wushuang scanned the area; every face of the common people below appeared in his mind.

Whether old or young, men or women, he examined each face and physique without any concealment.

No one was hidden.

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows, surprised, “None?”

With his control over the power of Life, not a single life nearby could escape his scrutiny. Even if Jiang Shang possessed immense strength and could severely injure Long Yi, he couldn’t escape his keen eyes.

Since the causality line stopped here, it meant Hu Qing was in this location.

Further investigation was necessary.

Disguised as master and servant, Jian Wushuang and Moluo entered the small town.

Without asking around, everything went against their wishes.

They first found an inn, settled in, and then, daily, sat quietly at a table near the window downstairs, sipping two ounces of liquor with a plate of peanuts, patiently waiting.

Causality Pursuit!

Compared to the tspent searching around, wasting a few days was nothing.

The inn primarily catered to the mortal residents of this small town, rarely receiving visitors from elsewhere.

Around ten in the morning, common folks with tired feet or those carrying water jugs would gather at the inn to rest and have their meals.

Jian Wushuang always perked up his ears, eavesdropping on their small talk, hoping to discover any clues about Jiang Shang’s whereabouts.

Unfortunately!

After staying for over half a month, there was still no trace of information.

This method, effective in the past, was no longer working.

It seemed Jiang Shang had truly hidden herself in smountain cave or an underground river, never intending to reveal herself.

If that were the case, Jian Wushuang wouldn’t hesitate to turn this place into ruins. Even if he had to dig three feet underground, he would unearth the elusive figure.

As this thought arose, whether it was the luck of the locals or Jian Wushuang’s own luck turning around, he indeed overheard something crucial, likely related to Jiang Shang.

This person was mysterious. According to the information he had when he arrived, there was no trace of this person at all.

With less than 1,000 people in the town, a single glance was enough for him to grasp their appearances and even delve into their memories.

He had examined each person’s name, age, and memories since birth, yet there was no impact from that mysterious person.

Such a technique was extraordinary!

If not for overhearing someone talking about it, he wouldn’t have known the person’s name.

At a table near Jian Wushuang, a few rough-looking men were drinking. Sitting with them was a young man named Pan’an, who possessed an extraordinary aura and a unique appearance unmatched for miles.

The mysterious person, as described by Pan’an, was referred to as ‘Miss Jiang’. However, there was not a trace of her in Pan’an’s memories.
