Chapter 375: Chapter 257: Past, Present, Future—At My Command

Grasping Jiang Taicang’s celestial cover, Qin Yuesheng was about to dismantle it.

Suddenly, he saw the person’s body start to crumble like paper that had been decaying for years, disintegrating into powder at a slight touch and then scattering across the ground, ultimately disappearing without a trace.

"Could it be..."

Bang!

Qin Yuesheng hurriedly pressed and burst a Yellow Pearl on the black-and-white disk. As the juice from the Yellow Pearl spilled out, a surge of mysterious and powerful energy instantly enveloped Qin Yuesheng’s entire body.

In an instant, he felt himself weightless, uncontrollably soaring upward at high speed.

...

Splash!

Emerging from the River of Time, Qin Yuesheng was not new to reaching this place via the disk, so he naturally appeared at ease, not too surprised.

He turned his head to survey his surroundings, finally noticing upstream the silhouette of someone moving against the current.

Judging by the back, it was undoubtedly Jiang Taicang.

"Sure enough, he escaped using the disk."

In Qin Yuesheng’s gaze, Jiang Taicang struggled to advance a short distance against the current on the river, then suddenly plunged into the river, disappearing without a trace.

Qin Yuesheng hurriedly rushed to where Jiang Taicang vanished, and then dove into the water himself.

The River of Time, ripples splashing.

Soon, it erased the traces of the two men’s earlier appearances.

...

Squeak!

Slowly opening his eyes, he reached out and forcefully pushed open the door, instantly revealing the Alchemy Furnace and three elderly men lying still on the ground to Qin Yuesheng’s eyes.

"So I’ve returned to this time." Qin Yuesheng immediately stepped into the room, grabbing the fallen Shangguan Lan.

Using his consciousness to observe the twisted maze, Shangguan Lan’s spirit was still running around inside, trying to find the exit.

Qin Yuesheng directly returned Shangguan Lan’s spirit to his body, and soon Shangguan Lan began to recover, looking at Qin Yuesheng in surprise and saying, "It’s you!"

"Don’t waste time. If you want to live, take me to find Jiang Taicang now." Qin Yuesheng threatened, gripping Shangguan Lan’s collar.

"You’re the enemy of the Sect Leader?" Shangguan Lan couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, I’m here to kill him again." Qin Yuesheng said meaningfully.

In his heart, Shangguan Lan was overjoyed; as long as Jiang Taicang dies, there would be no one to activate the Heart Gu on him, ensuring his safety.

With a half-willing, half-coerced attitude, Shangguan Lan tried his best to appear reluctant as he led Qin Yuesheng to the back mountain.

...

Behind Broken Sword Peak, at the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Taicang sat on a wooden platform, absorbing the Inner Strength of the Qiu Mountain Sect Leader, while waiting for the Moonlight to reach its most intense point tonight, planning to seize the Earth Spirit Root from the Qiu Mountain Sect Leader’s body.

At that moment, Jiang Taicang’s eyes suddenly became confused and dazed, but soon regained their shine.

"Damn it! What’s the deal with that Qin family’s young master? How did his strength become so formidable?" Jiang Taicang angrily punched the platform, causing the wood to break in half.

"If it weren’t for this Time Holy Wheel, I’d surely have died at his hands." Jiang Taicang’s face was full of relief, subconsciously reaching for his chest.

But he found nothing but clothes.

"Hm!" Jiang Taicang’s expression instantly changed, hurriedly searching all over his body but failing to find the item he was looking for.

The Time Holy Wheel, was gone.

"Impossible!" Jiang Taicang was shocked. He had used this Time Holy Wheel many times. Whenever he returned to the past and took the place of his past self, the Time Holy Wheel always lay quietly in his embrace, without exception.

But this time, things had gone terribly wrong.

"That guy! Could he have done something?" Jiang Taicang immediately stood up from the platform, even disregarding the Five Ghost Spirit Body Skill.

This object was particularly important; it concerned a crucial threshold on his future path to increasing strength. Losing it was a catastrophe unmatched even by losing the Celestial Demon Blade or the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror.

While Jiang Taicang was overwhelmed, a figure suddenly appeared stepping from the Qiu Mountain Sect toward the sky.

It was Qin Yuesheng!

Through the Biluo Eye, clearly seeing Jiang Taicang’s figure, Qin Yuesheng coldly laughed, "Caught you again."

Jiang Taicang glanced at the ground under the moonlight and suddenly saw a shadow appearing. As the shadow became more solid, his expression changed dramatically, and he dodged to the side without looking back.

Boom!

Qin Yuesheng stamped his foot, and the wooden platform couldn’t withstand his force, collapsing instantly.

"It’s you?!" Seeing Qin Yuesheng’s appearance, Jiang Taicang panicked.

How could this person appear here at this time? Judging by the timing, he hadn’t even completed the Five Ghost Spirit Body Skill yet. He should have been inside the Qiu Mountain Sect!

His memory’s trajectory was once again drastically altered, sending a surge of fear through Jiang Taicang.

Could it be that the Time Holy Wheels are far beyond just one piece?

This Qin family’s young master also possessed the ability to return to the past on the River of Time!

That means he followed him from the future, where he had been killed by him, all the way back.

His heart felt like it was plunged into an icy abyss, and Jiang Taicang instinctively wanted to use the Blood Escape Skill to flee, but recalling the past experience, he realized that relying on the Blood Escape Skill was futile in escaping Qin Yuesheng’s grasp.
