"Ah!" Captain Lee never expected someone to be underground, let alone to strike so suddenly.
His body was destroyed on the spot, leaving only his soul. Then a figure shot up from underground, trying to seize that soul. Unexpectedly, the soul roared angrily at the figure, "You brat, just wait! Our Yang Clan will never let you off!"
After saying this, the soul vanished. As for the figure who emerged, it was none other than Evan Yang. At this moment, he muttered inwardly, "Another soul-protecting treasure?"
The woman, seeing Evan Yang, gratefully said, "Thank you."
Evan Yang turned around, feeling the voice was very familiar, so he asked suspiciously, "Why does your voice sound so familiar to me?"
"Is it?" The woman under the black veil asked curiously.
"Yeah, maybe you sound a bit like one of my friends. By the way, are you poisoned? Let me take a look." Evan Yang said, then walked over.
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "I am. My whole body feels weak now."
"It's fine, just sit there and let me check." With that, Evan Yang walked over, squatted down beside her, and tried to examine her body. The moment he touched her, her aura made him instantly recognize her.
"You're Sharla?" Evan Yang exclaimed in shock. The owner of this aura was none other than the woman he'd once shared an entangled past with. He wondered how she ended up here.
The woman was shocked when her identity was recognized. She knew the person before her definitely knew who she was, so she removed her veil.
Sharla's face was exposed to Evan Yang, but Evan was currently in disguise, so Sharla couldn't recognize him at all. She looked at Evan suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Evan Yang." After saying this, Evan changed into the appearance he had when he first met Sharla.
Seeing the person she'd been searching for, Sharla couldn't hold back anymore and hugged Evan Yang tightly. "I finally found you!"
Evan Yang was startled by her move and quickly pried her hands off, saying, "You came looking for me?"
"Yeah." Sharla nodded.
"Why did you look for me? And how did you know I was here?" Evan Yang asked, confused.
Sharla definitely wouldn't admit she'd put something on Evan Yang to track him. Instead, she awkwardly said, "I left the lord's organization, but the lord is searching for me everywhere. I have no friends, so I could only think of you. I came here on a whim, and didn't expect to actually find you."
Evan Yang was half-convinced, but since she was here to find him and meant no harm, he just sighed and said, "You really shouldn't have come here."
"Why?" Sharla thought Evan Yang disliked her and pressed him for an answer.
"This place is dangerous. Especially that guy just now—he's from a great clan. He was trying to capture you for a reason. If I hadn't happened to pass by, you'd be done for." Evan Yang knew all this was Terry Yang's doing. If he hadn't shown up, Sharla would have become Terry's target.
"But you showed up, didn't you? That means my luck is good." Sharla laughed.
Seeing Sharla's smile, Evan Yang felt complicated. After all, she had once come to capture him, but not only did she become his woman, she even helped him before. Now, he really didn't know what to do with her.
"Alright, let's not talk about this now. I'll take you somewhere else to heal up. It's not safe here." Thinking that Yang Clan people could show up at any time, Evan Yang quickly picked up Sharla and left.
Sharla thought finding Evan Yang meant she could relax, but she had no idea that her former lord had also placed something on her. At this moment, on the other side of the formation, a man muttered, "So I finally found you. I really want to know why you betrayed me!"
At the Yang Clan, Terry Yang was cultivating when he suddenly heard something urgent outside. Curious, he walked out, and was shocked to see Captain Lee's soul, weak and hovering in the main hall. "What's going on here?" he exclaimed.
"I..." Captain Lee saw so many people present and didn't speak.
Terry Yang had no choice but to say, "Come to my room."
Soon, Captain Lee arrived at Terry Yang's room. Once inside, Captain Lee told Terry everything that had happened.
After hearing this, Terry Yang angrily said, "What? There's someone else?"
