"Not long ago, Young Master Yang said he had invited strong individuals from the Wushuang Divine Palace to deal with Yang Tianya. The Divine Monarch's aura sensed earlier was likely from Wushuang Divine Palace. But now, they've all disappeared without a trace, including the Second Elder, Third Elder, and even Yang Meier. No one knows what happened."

"This matter is definitely related to Yang Meier's Soul Bone. The disciples of Shuiyun Palace must know something, but none dare to reveal it. However, Yang Tianya couldn't possibly stand against a Divine Monarch. There's definitely more to this story."

"Perhaps the people from Wushuang Divine Palace have some answers."

Watching Ren Tianxing and others drinking, the shopkeeper thought to herself as she continuously observed the five from Wushuang Divine Palace.

The shopkeeper walked over with a cup of wine.

"It's rare for the chief disciple of Shuiyun Palace to visit. In honor of Young Master Yang, this one's on the house," the shopkeeper said, placing a hand on the shoulder of the leading man from Wushuang Divine Palace and laughing charmingly at Ren Tianxing, her demeanor as seductive as a fairy.

"I appreciate the shopkeeper's kindness, thank you," Ren Tianxing responded with a slight frown but then politely declined, his demeanor humble and courteous.

The leading man noticed the change in Ren Tianxing's expression, frowned slightly, but said nothing more.

"Please, don't say that. If Young Master Yang finds out, I'd be in trouble. Come, let me propose a toast to everyone," the shopkeeper said with a charming smile, drinking first as a gesture of goodwill.

Ren Tianxing and others returned the toast, and the people from Wushuang Divine Palace joined in.

"Please enjoy yourselves. It's all on me, don't be shy. Consider it a gesture of respect for Young Master Yang," the shopkeeper smiled charmingly, tapping lightly on the leading man's back a few times.

The leading man glanced at the shopkeeper and noticed she was signaling with her eyes.

Seeing the shopkeeper walk towards the back courtyard of the tavern, the leading man stood up and said, "I'll go check something."

The leading man walked directly to the back courtyard.

Ren Tianxing noticed but didn't comment.

"My name is Mu Honglian. How should I address you?"

In the courtyard, the shopkeeper sat on a chair, looking at the leading man with an enticing smile on her face.

"Bai Lin," he said bluntly, "What does the shopkeeper need from me?"

"Wushuang Divine Palace has sent people, it seems that something has happened to the protector Sen Luo," Mu Honglian laughed lightly.

Bai Lin's expression changed, and he asked sternly, "You know our identity? What else do you know? Tell me quickly."

Mu Honglian slowly stood up and walked with graceful steps, saying, "Frankly, I know nothing, but I heard some things from Young Master Yang before. Now that they are missing, I can only speculate."

"The protector is dead!" Bai Lin said.

"What?" Mu Honglian's expression changed instantly, her brows furrowed, and she said sternly, "It seems Yang Wei and Yang Gou are also unlikely to have survived. Everyone associated with them has vanished."

"You seem to have a good relationship with Young Master Yang," Bai Lin frowned.

"Young Master's saved my life. Now that he's in danger, I won't sit idly by," Mu Honglian said.

"How much do you know about the Soul Bone?" Bai Lin asked.

"It seems you didn't find the answers you wanted at Shuiyun Palace," Mu Honglian smiled charmingly, circling Bai Lin and said, "What's the use of knowing about the Soul Bone? Even Yang Meier, who possesses it, is missing."

"So the Soul Bone does exist! Yang Tianya did lie to us!" Bai Lin's face darkened again.

"I don't know the value of the Soul Bone, but for Wushuang Divine Palace to send Sen Luo as a protector, it must be extraordinary," Mu Honglian laughed lightly.

"Knowing too much can put you in danger," Bai Lin said.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the Soul Bone," Mu Honglian said with a charming smile.

Her seductive eyes glanced at Bai Lin, and Mu Honglian continued, "I heard from Young Master Yang that he would go to Wushuang Divine Palace to invite powerful people to deal with Yang Tianya. But now that Sen Luo and the others are missing, and Yang Tianya is unharmed, and Yang Meier is missing, it suggests there's a more formidable presence behind this."

"Hmph! I'll go find Yang Tianya right now!" Bai Lin said coldly, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

"Wait!" Mu Honglian hurriedly stopped him, "With the strength of only your five, you can't defeat Yang Tianya. Going now would only alert him and may even lead to your death. Don't forget there's a stronger presence who could eliminate Sen Luo. I've been in Moyun City for many years, and I've never heard of anyone who can rival Yang Tianya. This person is very mysterious. To deal with him, you need to return and bring a Divine Monarch strong enough."

"Thank you," Bai Lin said, clasping his fists in gratitude before turning away.

"It seems I underestimated Shuiyun Palace. The one who could defeat Sen Luo must also be a Divine Monarch. Who could it be?" Mu Honglian pondered with a frown, racking her brain but unable to figure it out.

"Never mind, whoever it is, when Wushuang Divine Palace makes a move, they are doomed," Mu Honglian said with a cold smile, her charming eyes flashing with a sinister and venomous glint.

Mu Honglian's strategy of using a knife to kill was indeed shrewd.

...

At this moment, Feng Wuchen happened to enter the tavern.

At first glance upon entering, he saw Ren Tianxing's group and also saw Bai Lin returning to his seat.

"Divine King realm. It seems they are from Wushuang Divine Palace," Feng Wuchen thought to himself, taking a seat discreetly.

Ren Tianxing and the others naturally saw Feng Wuchen too, but they did not greet him.

"Brother Ren, a toast to you. Thank you for your help. We'll take our leave now," Bai Lin said with a polite smile, drinking first as a polite gesture.

"Aren't they going to the guild? Why are they leaving suddenly?" The sudden departure of Bai Lin and his group puzzled the disciples of Shuiyun Palace.

"Mu Honglian is close to Young Master Yang; could she have said something?" Ren Tianxing frowned, suspecting something upon Bai Lin's sudden decision to leave.

"Oh no! Mu Honglian must know about the Soul Bone's existence!" Ren Tianxing quickly realized, and worry grew in his heart.

Concerned, Ren Tianxing immediately got up to leave, and as he passed Feng Wuchen, he deliberately signaled with his eyes.

Feng Wuchen's expression changed; he finished his drink and left the tavern.

As he passed the entrance, feeling Mu Honglian's gaze, Feng Wuchen glanced back before stepping out.

"Such sharp eyes. This person is not simple," Mu Honglian thought with a slight frown, though she didn't ponder much on it. She's seen many intriguing people before.

"Master Feng," Ren Tianxing and the others quickly greeted respectfully upon seeing Feng Wuchen step out.

"Let's talk as we walk," Feng Wuchen said casually.

"Master Feng, those were members of Wushuang Divine Palace earlier. The tavern's shopkeeper, Mu Honglian, is closely tied to Yang Wei. Bai Lin went to the courtyard with Mu Honglian earlier. I'm afraid Mu Honglian might disclose something about the Soul Bone," Ren Tianxing said seriously.
