No return? Slay the two scoundrels!

"Revered Master, look, there is a small town below."

Lin Xueer said, pointing below.

Ye Qing glanced down; situated in front of Black Wind Ridge, there was indeed a sizeable town.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing led the two girls as they descended from the sky and walked toward the small town.

"Let's rest in the town for a bit, then head up the mountain."

Ye Qing led the two girls into the town and took a brief rest.

Afterward, he didn't plan to stay long and left the town, preparing to head straight up the mountain to casually deal with those so-called 'Black Wind Twin Fiends.'

However, as they reached the town entrance, they found the road leading to Black Wind Ridge...

...was actually blocked by dozens of panicked townspeople.

Leading them was a white-haired old man leaning on a cane.

He was the Old Town Chief of this town.

At this moment, seeing that the three of them had extraordinary temperaments, especially Ye Qing, who was dignified and looked like a wealthy Young Master...

...he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands with an anxious look.

"This Young Master, please stay! Please stay!"

Ye Qing paused, glanced at the old man, and asked, "Old man, what is the matter?"

The old man glanced at the two peerless young women behind Ye Qing.

Then he looked toward the ominous Black Wind Ridge in the distance, his face filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"Young Master, looking at your direction, are you heading to Black Wind Ridge?"

"Precisely." Ye Qing nodded.

"Absolutely not!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Town Chief was so anxious he almost jumped, his cane thumping against the ground.

"That Black Wind Ridge is a Dragon's pool and tiger's den! Two Devil Heads who kill without blinking are entrenched there, known as the 'Black Wind Twin Fiends'! Young Master, you must not go there; if you go... you won't come back!"

"Oh?" Ye Qing raised an eyebrow, his eyes flickering as he feigned ignorance. "Such a thing exists?"

Seeing that Ye Qing seemed moved, the Old Town Chief thought his persuasion was working and quickly sighed as he explained the whole story.

It turned out this town was named 'Wangan Town.'

Located at the border between the two major forces of the Taiyi Sect and the Five Spirit Sect, it was a necessary path for passing merchants and was once very prosperous.

The town's residents also lived a wealthy and peaceful life thanks to the passing caravans.

But not long ago, a pair of cruel brothers suddenly arrived at Black Wind Ridge—the 'Black Wind Twin Fiends.'

Both of them are at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, and their methods are incredibly ruthless. They specifically plunder passing merchants and Cultivators; at the slightest resistance, heads roll.

In a year, the number of wronged souls who died at their hands is simply uncountable.

Caravans no longer dared to come, and as for the residents of Wangan Town, they were often oppressed by the Black Wind Twin Fiends, living in misery.

"We also tried to seek help from outside, but... but every time people came, they... they never returned."

As the Old Town Chief spoke, tears welled up in his old eyes, and his voice choked up.

"Those two Devil Heads are simply too strong!"

"Young Master, although the three of you look extraordinary, you are young after all. Take this old man's advice and go back quickly! Do not throw away your lives for nothing!"

The surrounding townspeople also spoke up to persuade them, their words filled with fear.

After listening to the Old Town Chief's account, a cold glint flashed in Ye Qing's calm eyes.

Mere Foundation Establishment Seventh Layers, yet they dare to be so arrogant and lawless here.

Truly, their deaths would not be enough to atone for their crimes!

However, with his Disciples here, there was no need for him to act personally.

Thinking of this, a faint smile played on the corners of Ye Qing's lips. He ignored the Old Town Chief's persuasion and turned to look at Lin Xueer and Su Chan.

"Did you hear that?"

"We heard, Revered Master." The two girls responded in unison, Battle Intent rising in their eyes.

They naturally understood Ye Qing's meaning.

"Go." Ye Qing said indifferently. "Revered Master will wait here for your return."

"Yes!"

Lin Xueer and Su Chan did not hesitate for a second. After receiving the order, they moved, turning into two streaks of light that bypassed the crowd and headed straight toward Black Wind Ridge.

"Hey! Young ladies! You two! Come back! Come back quickly!"

Seeing this, the Old Town Chief turned pale with fright and hurriedly reached out his withered hands to stop them, but how could he?

Ye Qing's figure flickered, calmly blocking the path of the anxious Old Town Chief, and smiled. "Old man, please rest assured, it's fine."

"F-fine?"

The Old Town Chief looked at the two figures charging toward the ominous mountain without looking back, his old face turning red with anxiety as he stomped his feet and beat his chest.

"Young Master! How can you have the heart to watch those two beautiful young ladies go to their deaths! Foolish! Simply foolish!"

He only thought Ye Qing was young and impetuous, but letting two female Disciples go up... this was truly unwise!

For a time, the Old Town Chief felt immense regret.

The surrounding townspeople were also in an uproar, whispering among themselves.

"Sigh, what a pity. Two such beautiful girls are about to perish."

"Yeah, their Revered Master looks handsome, but he's really quite a bad person. He doesn't dare go himself, yet he lets his Disciples go to their deaths!"

"Young people are just too impetuous after all..."

"Those are the Black Wind Twin Fiends! Two Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Great Cultivators! Even if these two young girls are Cultivators, how much cultivation could they have? They probably won't even last a single move..."

Sounds of pity and sighs were incessant.

They seemed to have already seen the tragic scene of the two peerless girls dying at the hands of the Devil Heads.

Of course, someone whispered, "Perhaps they can deal with the Black Wind Twin Fiends?"

Hearing this, the people nearby all shook their heads.

The Black Wind Twin Fiends had long left too many shadows in their hearts.

"Two young girls can solve the Black Wind Twin Fiends?"

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

Only Ye Qing remained composed.

He found a clean stone stool and sat down, closing his eyes to rest, seemingly not worried at all.

The more the surrounding people looked, the more anxious they became!

Time passed, minute by minute.

The residents of Wangan Town gathered at the town entrance, each craneing their necks toward Black Wind Ridge with complex expressions.

The Old Town Chief was sighing even more, unable to sit still.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

On Black Wind Ridge, the swirling black Qi seemed to... thin out a bit?

While everyone was wondering, suddenly, two figures slowly walked down from the mountain path.

"It's... it's the Black Wind Twin Fiends! They're coming down the mountain!"

Someone shouted in terror, and the crowd instantly exploded!

The townspeople were frightened to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, their faces turning pale; they were about to flee in panic and return to their homes to bolt the doors and windows.

"No! Look! It's not those two Devil Heads!"

At this time, a sharp-eyed young man suddenly let out a cry of uncertainty.

Hearing this, the crowd summoned their courage to stop and looked closely.

They saw that the ones walking down from the mountain were indeed not the ferocious Black Wind Twin Fiends, but rather the two peerless girls who had just gone up!

"They... they're still alive?!"

Moreover, looking at them, their clothes were neat and their breathing steady; they appeared completely unharmed!

"How... how is this possible?!"

The entire entrance of Wangan Town instantly fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the midst of this eerie silence...

...a townsperson pointed at the two women's hands, his voice trembling uncontrollably as if he had seen the most incredible sight in the world.

He shrieked:

"Look... look... what are they carrying in their hands?!"

Swish!

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Lin Xueer and Su Chan's hands.

In their delicate hands, each held a bloody head with wide-open eyes!

The appearance of those two heads was fierce and hideous!

They were precisely the ones who had occupied Black Wind Ridge, making the entire Wangan Town tremble with fear and lose sleep... the Black Wind Twin Fiends!
