Every time this masked black-clad man attacked, Huangfu Ziyu could always feel the fluctuation of the Sun Bow, allowing her to determine the position of the attack. However, this time, when the masked black-clad man jumped again, Huangfu Ziyu felt no fluctuation at all, which greatly puzzled her.

Could it be that this masked black-clad man can also conceal his power fluctuations?

In her astonishment, Huangfu Ziyu became even more cautious, retreating while vigilantly observing the surroundings. The attacks of this masked black-clad man were extremely bizarre, and his ability to hide his presence made it hard to guard against him.

However, this time Huangfu Ziyu waited for several seconds, yet the masked black-clad man still did not appear. Just as she was wondering, she glimpsed a shadow flashing through the distant forest; it was exactly that masked black-clad man from earlier!

At this moment, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly realized the truth. No wonder she couldn't feel the power fluctuations of this masked black-clad man. It turned out he hadn't attacked at all but had turned to flee.

"Where are you running to!" Huangfu Ziyu shouted sharply. She bent her bow and shot an air arrow straight toward the masked black-clad man. At the same time, she accelerated her speed to chase after him. Now that Prince Wan Yan had already escaped, she certainly would not let this person go—she had to catch at least one of them!

Feeling the fluctuation of air behind him, the masked black-clad man immediately swung the narrow knife in his hand to block the air arrow. Taking advantage of the impact force, he rushed forward more than ten meters, his speed increasing even further.

Seeing the situation, Huangfu Ziyu frowned even more deeply. She knew that the strength of this masked black-clad man was definitely comparable to the Five Uniques. At such a long distance, shooting arrows would not harm him; instead, he would use the power of the air arrow to quicken his escape. Thus, Huangfu Ziyu decided not to shoot arrows anymore and simply chased him in the air!

The masked black-clad man sprinted swiftly on the ground, not even thinking to look back. Moreover, his movement technique was incredibly bizarre; each time he leaped, he would disappear for a moment, only to reappear a second later in another place, as if he had turned invisible in that second. Huangfu Ziyu had never heard of such a strange movement technique and even suspected that he had secretly learned Nanyang's Invisibility Sorcery.

But even if it was Invisibility Sorcery, something felt off. Those who practiced Invisibility Sorcery modified their bodies to blend in with the environment invisibly. A critical point during their invisibility was that they had to remove all their clothing because they modified their bodies, not their clothes, which cannot turn invisible. However, this masked black-clad man was fully clothed and even carried a narrow knife; he was definitely not using Invisibility Sorcery. What was his true origin, and what was his connection to Prince Wan Yan?

Huangfu Ziyu's mind was filled with doubts, further strengthening her determination to catch up with this person. Her main target since emerging had been Prince Wan Yan and the Wanyan Family, for she had personally witnessed Prince Wan Yan kill the Right Protector and Ye Qing outside the tomb. Her first priority after coming out was revenge!

Huangfu Ziyu was exceptionally fast, but the masked black-clad man was no slouch either. The two of them, in tandem, ran for about three minutes before leaving the forest behind. The prairie was silent as they continued the chase, yet Huangfu Ziyu obviously had the upper hand. Exploiting the power of the Sun Bow, she floated in the air, expending little energy, whereas the masked black-clad man was constantly running. The outcome was inevitable; one day, he would tire from running, but Huangfu Ziyu would never tire.

"Even if you run to the Ends of the Earth, I will surely kill you myself!" Huangfu Ziyu shouted coldly, her aura far stronger than before after acquiring the Sun Bow.

The masked black-clad man did not respond, fleeing in a mad dash. After running for nearly five more minutes, while Huangfu Ziyu was pursuing with all her strength, a voice of surprise suddenly rose from the prairie below: "Sister!?"

Huangfu Ziyu's expression changed, and she immediately turned to look, finding three people standing still on the distant prairie, gazing up at her. These three were Ye Qing and the siblings Huangfu Zilong. The voice just now was shouted by Huangfu Zilong!

"You all..." Upon seeing the trio, Huangfu Ziyu no longer paid attention to chasing the masked black-clad man. She immediately turned and landed in front of them, approaching Ye Qing as soon as she touched the ground. She stared at Ye Qing for a long time before tremblingly saying: "Am I... Am I dreaming?"

Ye Qing looked at Huangfu Ziyu, his heart indecisive on what to feel. This encounter marked his first sighting of Huangfu Ziyu since her disappearance. Although the people from Sha Men had taken him to where Huangfu Ziyu was, he had been unconscious at that time. When he awoke, Huangfu Ziyu had already been trapped inside the Inner Tomb, and he couldn't enter.

In Ye Qing's heart, he had nearly given up hope. The mechanisms inside the Inner Tomb were capable of trapping even Peak Masters; he had not dared to hope for this reunion with Huangfu Ziyu. Yet, here she stood before him, the woman who haunted his dreams!

After a moment of silence, Ye Qing suddenly stepped forward, wrapping Huangfu Ziyu in a tight embrace. He had never done such a thing in his life, but at that moment, he could no longer suppress his emotions!

"Zi Yu, I've missed you!" Ye Qing said softly.

Just from this one sentence, Huangfu Ziyu was already in tears. She leaned against Ye Qing's chest, unable to help softly sobbing. Even if she was invincible under the heavens, at this moment, she was just a little woman!

The two of them didn't know how long they had embraced like this until Huangfu Zilong's intentional coughing sound brought them back to their senses.

Huangfu Zilong and his sister were standing nearby, wide-eyed, watching them. This made Huangfu Ziyu's face slightly red, and she quickly let go, going over to hug her brother and sister, happily saying, "You... you are here too!"

"Sister, wasn't I the one who called you first? Only now are you seeing me?" Huangfu Zilong complained, "You're really disappointing me, your own brother!"

Huangfu Ziyu was very embarrassed. She glanced at Ye Qing, whose face was also flushed, and lightly coughed, saying, "By the way, why are you here? Ye Qing, I saw you got hit by Prince Wan Yan earlier, didn't I? How come... you seem to be fine now?"

"These things have a long story." Huangfu Zilong said, "By the way, sister, how did you get out? Wasn't it said that the inner tomb was filled with traps? You know, Ye was ready to risk everything to go back and save you!"

Hearing this, warmth surged in Huangfu Ziyu's heart. She took the Sun Shooting Bow from her back, and softly said, "I got the Sun Shooting Bow and used it to pierce through the cave, then made my way out."

"Wow, so this is the Sun Shooting Bow!" Huangfu Zilong was very excited, taking the bow eagerly, saying, "Let me see, let me see. Huh, how come this thing doesn't have any weight?"

Huangfu Zilong and his sister took the Sun Shooting Bow, their faces filled with excitement and enthusiasm; this was something that could restore the prestige of the Huangfu Household. Only Ye Qing was stunned, dumbly looking at the Sun Shooting Bow, unable to react for a long time.

Ye Qing recalled what Old Wang Ba had told him before, to come to Humeng City to borrow the Sun Shooting Bow. At the time, Ye Qing didn't understand what he meant, because the Sun Shooting Bow hadn't appeared yet, and even if it did, falling into the hands of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, they wouldn't just lend it to him to save the Twelve Green Halls' people. So, his main reason for coming here this time was actually for Huangfu Ziyu.

But who could have thought that on this trip, things would unfold in completely unforeseen directions. First, the unusual change in his own body, with his meridians completely opened up. Given time, he could train his meridians to withstand the immense inner strength, allowing him to utilize the full strength of Northern Fist King Third Master Li, becoming a figure akin to the Five Uniques. Furthermore, regarding the Sun Shooting Bow, who would have thought it was Huangfu Ziyu who acquired it.

If this Sun Shooting Bow fell into anyone else's hands, Ye Qing would find it very difficult to borrow. However, with it in Huangfu Ziyu's hands, it was different. At that moment, Ye Qing finally understood why Old Wang Ba had asked him to borrow the Sun Shooting Bow. It seemed Old Wang Ba had predicted Huangfu Ziyu would get the Sun Shooting Bow!

Although Old Wang Ba was notoriously unreliable, at this moment, Ye Qing had to admit that Old Wang Ba's divination technique was indeed extraordinary. Everything seemed to be under his grasp. Ye Qing came to Humeng City not only to meet Huangfu Ziyu, but also to borrow the Sun Shooting Bow to save Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi, all as Old Wang Ba had foreseen!

Huangfu Ziyu stood by smiling, watching her brother and sister playing with the Sun Shooting Bow. Seeing the three of them, she also had no intention of chasing the masked man in black anymore. Standing beside Ye Qing, her hand remained tightly clasped with Ye Qing's, not letting go.

"Ye Qing, what's wrong?" Seeing Ye Qing's astonished expression, Huangfu Ziyu couldn't help but softly ask.

"Nothing, I just remembered what Old Wang Ba said to me before," Ye Qing replied with a smile.

"What did he say?" Huangfu Ziyu asked curiously.

Ye Qing shared what Old Wang Ba had said, and Huangfu Ziyu was just as astonished, finally saying after a moment, "That old guy does have some tricks up his sleeve."

"If he didn't con people, he indeed has great skill. But this man, if he says ten sentences and you can trust even a punctuation mark, you're doing well," Ye Qing shrugged, saying, "So, what he says, you never know when to trust and when not to!"
