Chapter 172 Cooperation

Xiang Yue was instantly dumbfounded, "Where's Yun Ya? Where did Yun Ya go?"

"Chase!" Ye Yang and I continued chasing along the mountain road.

Although Xiang Yue and Xiang Yunshang were ordinary people, Ye Yang and I weren't moving too fast, so they could keep up with our pace.

Ye Yang and I hadn't run far before stopping. "The aura is gone!"

Ye Yang's fingers also moved rapidly. "Someone is shielding the heavenly secrets; we've lost the trail."

Xiang Yue, who had caught up, had a look of iron-gray on his face. "You…did you deliberately lose Yun Ya? Where is Yun Ya?"

I shook my head slightly. "I didn't make such a plan. Meng Qingqiu wanted Yun Ya to die, not to kidnap her."

Xiang Yue's eyes were bloodshot as he said, "I don't believe it! Meng Qingqiu wanted Yun Ya to die. Could it be that you didn't want to capture the ghost guarding the Hei Bai Clinic?"

Ye Yang's face immediately darkened. "Do you know what happens when a client doesn't trust a sorcerer?"

The biggest problem in the art of divination wasn't the dangers the sorcerer had to face, but the client hindering the sorcerer.

This problem was almost unsolvable. People were inherently suspicious, especially when entrusting their lives to someone else. Suspicion became even more serious, and they would constantly doubt even the slightest issue.

If the sorcerer didn't explain, the client would become even more paranoid. But if the sorcerer did explain, the ghost might seize the opportunity, leading to a violent death.

Ye Yang's face was gloomy, clearly with some intention of taking action, but my eyes lit up. "That's right! How did I not think of that? Ye Yang, let's go to the place where you sensed the earth's qi fluctuations."

Xiang Yue reached out to block me. "Explain clearly before you leave!"

I raised my hand and tapped Xiang Yue's acupoint. "I'll carry Xiang Yue, you carry…"

Before I could finish speaking, Ye Yang picked up Xiang Yue and ran. The speed of his toes skimming over the grass was almost like riding the wind.

I had no choice but to crouch down. "Get on, I'll carry you!"

Xiang Yunshang hesitated for a moment before climbing onto my back. I used my qinggong to closely follow Ye Yang with Xiang Yunshang.

We were racing against time with the ghost. A slight delay, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Even knowing that we might be unable to fight when we arrived, we could only run wildly all the way.

By the time we stopped, the sweat on my head was dripping like water, and my hands were trembling slightly.

As a swordsman, once you couldn't control your hands to grip the sword tightly, you were only one step away from your death. And that was my current situation.

The only thing that made me feel slightly relieved was that we had caught up with Yun Ya.

The missing Yun Ya had been placed in a wheelchair and abandoned in an open space in the mountains. Her upper body was covered with a black cloth, and the red funeral clothes on her body became even more vivid. Her exposed hands had become exceptionally thin and withered.

Yun Ya was probably not far from pupil dilation!

I put down Xiang Yunshang and said to the empty space, "Friend, can you come out for a meeting?"

A gloomy voice floated over. "If you see me, you will die. I don't want to make enemies with the disciples of Black and White Impermanence. Leave!"

My brow furrowed slightly, but I immediately suppressed the shock in my heart. "Friend, your purpose is to lure the old man Yun out of the Hei Bai Clinic and strike at his heart, right?"

The person said in a deep voice, "The one surnamed Yun refused to help in the past, and this hatred is irreconcilable. If you want to say that enemies should settle their differences, please save your breath."

"You're wrong!" I said, "You're here for revenge, and I'm here to save Yun Ya's life. Actually, we don't conflict."

"How about we work together to get that old man Yun out? You can take your revenge as you please; we just need to save people."

I pointed to Yun Ya. "Actually, this girl has no hatred towards you. She's not even of the Yun family's bloodline. Someone deliberately made her die in order to protect the Hei Bai Clinic. You don't have to kill her, do you?"

As soon as I finished speaking, a figure appeared beside Yun Ya. "You bastard, how dare you use a fake to deceive me!"

As he spoke, the yin qi around him churned like water, obviously extremely angry. "The Yun family should have another descendant. Where is she?"

I said calmly, "Is your enemy the Yun family descendant, or the old man Yun himself?"

The person said in a deep voice, "This is revenge!"

Jianghu vendettas, exterminating the entire family, the most common reason is to prevent future troubles.

I coldly looked at the other party. "Friend, the Yun family's descendant is my client, so I can't let you kill her."

Before the other party could speak, I said in a deep voice, "Friend, I can help you kill old man Yun, but you can't make trouble for my client anymore. This is my bottom line. If you insist on killing Yun Ya and my client, I guarantee to send you to the Yellow Springs before you get revenge. You can forget about touching the Hei Bai Clinic for the rest of your life."

The person hesitated for a long time with an uncertain expression before saying, "Can you guarantee to lure out old man Yun?"

I said in a deep voice, "I said, I can cooperate with you, but the outcome of the cooperation may or may not succeed!"
