It's windy!

I stopped, and a gust of wind suddenly arose among the forest of soul-calling banners. Paper money scattered all over the ground, like leaves swept up by the wind, rushed towards my face.

Later, I learned that at the same time, the same situation occurred with Ye Yang. The only difference was that Ye Yang was met with fallen leaves, while I was greeted by a sky full of paper money.

Wind should have no source, and even if it did, it shouldn't be within such a short distance.

But I immediately detected the source of the gale—an open space in the woods five meters away from me. There happened to be a figure there, who at first glance looked like he was stirring up the yin wind, howling through the mountains and forests.

Ye Yang and I were separated by an unknown distance, yet at the same time, we brandished our weapons and, with the same angle and force, slashed towards the center of the gale.

Blade energy and sword energy met the center of the gale at almost the same time.

The speed of the sword energy reached its limit, capable of splitting the wind with a single strike.

The power of the blade energy exceeded its limit, capable of cutting through waves with a single slash.

After Ye Yang and I made our moves, the two gales were torn apart by the airflow in the same way. A blade and a sword, almost at the same speed, went straight to the source, slashing into the center of the gale.

The paper money flying in the air was torn to shreds in front of the wildly rushing blade light. It raged out from both sides of the blade. I broke through the airflow split by the blade light and rushed forward several meters, raising my blade to slash at the figure in the distance.

As the blade struck, I only heard a loud sound of the blade hitting a stone, abruptly rising under my Nine-Ring Life-Reaping Blade. The blade bounced back into the air after hitting the hard object.

Holding the long blade, I took three steps back to steady myself.

When I looked forward again, all I saw was half of a tombstone that I had shattered.

I retracted my blade and said to the sound transmission talisman, "Feng Ruoxing, what's the situation on your side?"

"After Ye Yang split the gale, he struck a human-shaped stone with his sword." Feng Ruoxing added, "It's a naturally formed stone. There's also half of a Luopan (geomantic compass) under the stone!"

I looked at the van parked in the distance and whispered, "One god, one ghost!"

Ye Yang also responded, "One yin, one yang."

Ye Yang encountered a naturally formed human-shaped stone, which would be considered a mountain god in the mountains. Anyone entering the mountains would have to be careful when encountering it. The tombstone I encountered could only represent a ghost.

Therefore, I said that these two paths were one god and one ghost.

Ye Yang's meaning was roughly the same as mine. He was saying that he was walking the Yang Jian (mortal realm) path, while I was walking the Yin Jian (underworld) path.

I looked back at Lao Liu, who nodded slightly at me while waving his folding fan.

When I looked at the van again, Chen Xiaobei was already standing by the car. Although she was still wearing her school uniform, her face had turned abnormally pale. Her eyes were hollow and lifeless as she looked at Lao Liu, saying a sentence as if without any consciousness, "I knew it, you would come! Let's go! I'm begging you!"

Lao Liu only moved his feet slightly and stood in place.

Chen Xiaobei seemed about to say something, but a hand reached out from the car and forcibly dragged her into the car door. Someone in the car said, "You have tacit understanding, but there are also deviations. The sword is three points faster than the blade."

As my eyes narrowed slightly, the van started again, drifting out of the rows of soul-calling banners.

That car was leading the way for us, and also helping me clear obstacles on the road. Without that car, I would have to fight all the way here. Although I could still get here, I definitely couldn't keep up with Ye Yang's speed.

The purpose of that car was to synchronize me and Ye Yang.

"Follow them!" I transmitted my voice to Lao Liu while chasing after the car, "It seems we've gotten caught up in someone else's scheme."

"The scheme in Weizi Lane is prepared for the Xu brothers."

"The Chen family's method of breaking Weizi Lane is the Shu Cheng Shuang (Twin Arts), this secret art must be activated with someone cooperating in the Yin and Yang realms to determine the outcome with one battle."

"The two people cooperating must have unparalleled tacit understanding, otherwise, they won't achieve the effect the Chen family wants."

"The Xu family's sorcerers are triplets, and their senses should be beyond ordinary people. So, the Chen family chose them, wanting to use their senses to open Shu Cheng Shuang."

"Yu Xuelin tricked the Xu brothers here, but unfortunately, the Xu brothers don't have this kind of tacit understanding."

"Ye Yang and I just happened to run into it, and now, the people cooperating with each other are us two."

Lao Liu gently tapped my wrist a few times, meaning, "Trouble for the master."

I immediately transmitted my voice, "I'm not asking you to say this, I'm asking you, is my analysis correct?"

Lao Liu said, "Nine-tenths correct! Now, as long as we can uncover Yu Xuelin's whereabouts, we can see the last tenth."

I transmitted my voice again, "What do you think of the two people following us?"

"Two abandoned pieces that can be revived. However, it depends on whether the person who revives them is the master or the Chen family?"

I glanced at Xu Er and Xu San behind me, "Do you think hegemony is important, or true love is important? Is ideology important, or family is important?"

"I'll leave those two to you. If you want to do great justice, I'll accompany you. If you want to act on personal feelings, then we'll act on personal feelings."

When Lao Liu looked back at Xu Er and Xu San, I also quickened my pace.
