Chapter 1085: One Dead, One Missing

Jiang Hanyi’s pat on the shoulder brought Yu Shuo’s wandering thoughts back.

He raised his eyes, his gaze vacant, a deep despair in his pupils.

He stared blankly at Jiang Hanyi for a moment, then his pupils contracted fiercely.

Before anyone could react, he rushed out of the encirclement like the wind.

Gu Jin was still fighting Yin Honglin and heard Yu Shuo’s previous trembling and desperate cries.

Seeing him charge out of the encirclement alone, heading toward the Hidden Market’s exit, she had no time to tangle with Yin Honglin.

"Phoenix Spirit Technique, Ninth Move - Ten Thousand Spirits Unite!"

This is the killing move of the Phoenix Spirit Technique.

Gu Jin wanted to end this pointless battle quickly.

With this palm strike, she used fifty percent of her strength, enough to leave Yin Honglin either dead or half-crippled.

Feeling the overwhelming spiritual power sweeping over, Yin Honglin’s expression changed drastically, turning pale in an instant.

He quickly tried to resist, but before he could exert full power, he was hit by Ten Thousand Spirits Unite.

This palm slammed him directly to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

Gu Jin didn’t even glance at her opponent, turned back and shouted to Allen and the others, "This man is yours!"

Yin Honglin wasn’t dead, but he wasn’t far from it.

If it hadn’t been for Yu Shuo’s upheaval, Gu Jin had intended to interrogate him thoroughly, to find out who hated the Xuanji Sect enough to spare no expense.

Gu Jin flew towards Yu Shuo.

With countless cultivators and Short Country Puppets surrounding them, Yu Shuo couldn’t escape the Hidden Market alone.

The Yin Yue Sect and the masterminds caused a great stir for the Xuanji Sect, dispatching skilled cultivators and Short Country Puppets to surround them, each attack steeped in murderous intent.

They were determined to slaughter the Xuanji Sect’s members at the Hidden Market, even if it meant their own doom.

Gu Jin stood in front of Yu Shuo, kicking away the closest cultivators and puppets swarming towards her.

After dealing with these pests, she turned to Yu Shuo and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Yu Shuo was embroiled in his own skirmish, his expression frantic and desperate, each move viciously lethal, slaughtering anyone blocking his path.

This Yu Shuo was unfamiliar to Gu Jin.

It was as if his world had collapsed, plunged into darkness, leaving only slaughter.

Gu Jin joined the fray, fighting back-to-back with Yu Shuo against the attackers, and sharply asked, "Yu Shuo, what exactly happened?"

If there weren’t a reason, she couldn’t believe her first disciple had gone mad like this.

Yu Shuo seemed not to hear, his attacks relentless, a cultivator obstructing his path crushed by his hands.

Seeing that mindless killing was leading nowhere, Yu Shuo’s eyes now blood-red, clearly showing signs of losing control.

Afraid of impending disaster, Gu Jin seized the moment to grab him, returning to where Allen and the others were encircled.

"Bang!"

Gu Jin threw Yu Shuo to the ground, standing before him with a voice cold yet stern, "What happened?!"

Yu Shuo’s hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists, his face showing a mixture of pain, resentment, and despair.

"Fei’er is dead, dead... Rui’er, is missing..."

After saying this, as if exhausting all his strength, tears spilled from his eyes.

"..." Gu Jin’s face changed drastically.

The news hit her without warning.

Everyone around, except Wanqi Jingyi, was greatly impacted.

Fei’er is Yin Yufei.

Rui’er is their son.

What exactly happened, leading to one dead and one missing?
