My brother is Shi Hao

Chapter 49: Light in the Dark Night, Guarding Hope

The setting sun dyed the sky a golden red, shining on the faces of Shi Yi and Shi Hao, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light.

"Let's go, let's go back." Shi Yi patted Shi Hao's shoulder and turned to walk down the mountain.

"Yeah." Shi Hao nodded and followed Shi Yi.

They walked side by side, the setting sun stretched their shadows very long, as if foreshadowing that their future road would be extremely long, but they were not afraid, because they knew that they were not alone, they had each other, their master, and all the people who cared about them.

As night fell, Qingfeng Town returned to its former tranquility. Every house was brightly lit, and people were celebrating their hard-earned victory.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao did not join the celebration. They decided to patrol the area around Qingfeng Town, just in case. The night breeze was gentle, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the occasional chirping of insects made the night even more quiet.

"Shi Hao, do you feel anything unusual?" Shi Yi suddenly stopped walking in a dense forest, his brows slightly furrowed. His double pupils shone with a faint light, as if they could see through the fog of the night.

"You felt it too?" Shi Hao also stopped and his expression became serious.

"Hmm, a very faint evil aura, but strangely, this aura seems..." Shi Yi pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, "as if deliberately hiding himself."

Shi Hao's expression changed slightly, and he clenched his fists: "Let's go and take a look..."

They walked towards the direction of the breath, their footsteps light, like night elves, silently moving through the dense forest. The woods grew denser and the light dimmed, but they could still clearly sense the breath, even clearer than before.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came upon an open valley. In the dim moonlight, they could vaguely see an open space in the center, with a few figures vaguely visible moving about. Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, then quietly crept behind a boulder, cautiously poking their heads out and peering into the valley.

In the open space, a woman in a black dress with an enchanting figure stood with her back to them. It was none other than the Meiji who had escaped that day! Opposite her stood two men in black, each wrapped in a black cloak, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that exuded a chilling chill.

"How's it going?" Meiji's voice was as sweet as a nightingale, but it couldn't conceal a hint of viciousness.

"Reporting to the lord, everything has been arranged." One of the men in black answered respectfully.

"Very good." Mei Ji sneered, "This time, I will make Qingfeng Town disappear from this world completely..."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao hid behind a huge rock and heard their conversation clearly. Their faces became extremely ugly.

"We can't let them succeed!" Shi Hao said in a low voice, a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Shi Yi reached out to stop him, shook his head slightly, and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. They are numerous and powerful, and they are all strong. If we rush out now, we will only alert the enemy."

Shi Hao suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Then what should we do?"

Shi Yi's eyes flickered as he stared at the three people in the valley, a sneer on his face: "Since they want to play, then we'll play with them..." He paused, a gleam in his eyes, "We..."

Shi Yi leaned over to Shi Hao's ear and whispered something. Shi Hao's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously. Like two nimble night cats, they quietly retreated from the valley.

Outside the valley, moonlight poured down like water, draping the silent night with a silver veil. Shi Yi and Shi Hao hid atop a sturdy, ancient tree, its dense branches completely obscuring their presence. From their vantage point, they could take in everything in the valley.

"We'll just wait here. When they let down their guard and leave the valley, that will be the best time for us to take action." Shi Yi lowered his voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Shi Hao nodded slightly in agreement. His eyes shifted slightly, landing on a clearing in the center of the valley. There, Mei Ji stood with her back to them, seemingly explaining something. Shi Hao took a deep breath and quietly channeled the power of the Supreme Bone within him.

He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread wide, and gently waved it toward the clearing. A streak of golden light, imperceptible to the naked eye, emanated from his fingertips and silently sank into the ground. The next moment, the dirt and fallen leaves surrounding the clearing began to tremble slightly in a strange rhythm, as if something was stirring beneath.

After Shi Hao finished all this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at Shi Yi and whispered, "I've set a small trap. Once they step into it, they'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of appreciation. He knew that the "little trap" Shi Hao had mentioned was definitely not as simple as he had imagined. The power of a trap set with the power of the Supreme Bone was definitely not to be underestimated. Thinking of this, he looked forward to the upcoming battle even more.

Time slipped by, the night growing darker. Inside the valley, Meiji finally finished explaining everything and turned to leave. With graceful steps, she headed out of the valley, completely unaware of the danger quietly approaching...

"Are you ready?" Shi Yi asked in a low voice, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

Shi Hao nodded, his eyes gleaming: "Do it!"

"Do it!" Shi Yi shouted softly, and swooped down from the treetops like a falcon. Golden light burst out from his pupils, and two bright beams of light went straight to Mei Ji's back.

Shi Hao followed closely behind, his figure as fast as lightning, and a golden bone sword appeared in his hand at some point. Runes on the bone sword were flashing, exuding a fierce murderous aura.

The originally silent valley was instantly broken, with shouts and sounds of weapons clashing intertwined, breaking the tranquil night sky.

Meiji had clearly not expected to be attacked, but she reacted incredibly quickly, twisting her body and narrowly avoiding Shi Yi's attack. She spun around, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and anger, and shouted, "Who is it? How dare you attack me!"

"Hmph, you evil demon, everyone has the right to kill you!" Shi Yi snorted coldly and launched another attack. The divine light from his double pupils followed him like a shadow, blocking all of Mei Ji's retreat routes.

Shi Hao took the opportunity to go around behind Mei Ji, waving his bone sword. The sharp sword energy turned into golden lightning, attacking Mei Ji's back.

"Looking for death!" Mei Ji roared angrily, and the black mist around her rolled, turning into a huge black palm, and slapped towards Shi Hao.

"A mere trick!" Shi Hao was not afraid at all. The bone sword in his hand glowed brightly with golden light. He swung the sword, and the golden sword energy collided with the black palm, making a deafening explosion.

At the same time, Meiji's men also reacted and attacked Shi Yi and Shi Hao. Although these men were not as strong as Meiji, they were not easy to deal with. For a while, Shi Yi and Shi Hao were actually caught in a hard fight.

However, Shi Yi and Shi Hao were well prepared. Standing back to back, they worked in perfect harmony, unleashing the full power of their double pupils' divine light and the Supreme Bone. Shi Yi's movements were erratic, the double pupils' divine light sometimes sharp as a sword, sometimes impenetrable as a shield, neutralizing every enemy attack. Meanwhile, Shi Hao, relying on the immense strength and speed granted by the Supreme Bone, weaved through the enemy, each swing of his bone sword claiming a life.

The battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the valley was already a river of blood and corpses were everywhere.

"Damn it!" Mei Ji watched her men fall one by one, feeling anxious and angry, but she could do nothing to Shi Yi and Shi Hao. She knew that she was doomed tonight, so she decided to retreat and look for a chance to escape.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao naturally also saw Mei Ji's intention. They looked at each other and launched the final attack at the same time.

"The double pupils open the sky!" Shi Yi shouted loudly, and two extremely thick golden light beams shot out from his double pupils, like two golden dragons, bombarding towards Mei Ji.

"Supreme strike!" Shi Hao was not willing to be outdone. He poured all his body's supreme bone strength into the bone sword and slashed out with the sword. A golden sword light cut through the night sky and slashed towards Mei Ji.

"Ah!" Mei Ji let out a shrill scream. Under the attack of two powerful forces, she finally couldn't withstand it and was blown away. She fell heavily to the ground and her life or death was unknown.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao did not dare to take it lightly. They walked carefully to Mei Ji's side and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was completely unconscious.

Shi Yi bent down and searched Mei Ji's body for a while, and soon found a storage ring and a scroll made of special materials.

He opened the scroll and read it carefully, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"What's wrong?" Shi Hao noticed Shi Yi's expression change and couldn't help but ask.

Shi Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that we are in big trouble this time..." He handed the scroll in his hand to Shi Hao, on which were written some shocking big words: "Netherworld Sect—Top Secret Plan".

The smoke cleared, and the valley was filled with the strong smell of blood. After Shi Yi handed the scroll to Shi Hao, his brow furrowed, lost in thought. He was familiar with the name of the Netherworld Cult. It was a notorious evil force on the Profound Sky Continent, known for its ruthless actions and untold evil. And this Mei Ji was actually a demonic woman from the Netherworld Cult!

Shi Hao took the scroll and quickly glanced through it, his expression becoming serious. The document recorded some of the Netherworld Cult Leader's recent plans, one of which prominently read: "Seize the ancient artifact—the Haotian Mirror—and awaken the dormant demon god!"

"Haotian Mirror?!" Shi Hao exclaimed, "That's an ancient artifact said to be able to see into the secrets of heaven and change the fate of the world! If it falls into the hands of the Netherworld Cult, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Shi Yi said in a deep voice: "The Netherworld Cult Leader is extremely ambitious. He wants to awaken the sleeping Demon God, perhaps to overthrow the entire Tianxuan Continent! We must stop him!"

"But what should we do?" Shi Hao asked, "This document only mentions that the Netherworld Cult Leader wants to seize the Clear Sky Mirror, but it doesn't specify the whereabouts of the Clear Sky Mirror."

Shi Yi pondered for a moment, then pointed to a line of small words on the scroll and said, "Look here. The Netherworld Cult Leader will go to the Tianduan Mountains in seven days to trade with a mysterious person. Perhaps we can start from here."

The Tianduan Mountains, located in the far north of the Tianxuan Continent, are covered in ice and snow year-round, making them a remote and rarely visited place. The Netherworld Cult Leader had chosen to conduct his transaction there, clearly to conceal his activities.

"Let's not delay any further and head to Tianduan Mountains now!" Shi Yi said decisively.

"But what about Qingfeng Town?" Shi Hao was a little worried. "Although Mei Ji was defeated by us, she still has accomplices. If they come back..."

Shi Yi said in a deep voice, "I'll leave some clues and notify Taoist Xuanfeng to come and deal with it. The conspiracy of the Netherworld Cult is of great importance, and we must prioritize the overall situation!"

After that, Shi Yi no longer hesitated, put away Mei Ji's storage ring, and together with Shi Hao, they transformed into two streams of light and disappeared into the night. Little did they know that they would face even more thrilling challenges, and that the secrets in this document were only the tip of the iceberg...

Across the Tianduan Mountains, wind and snow howled, and icy peaks pierced the sky like sharp swords. Shi Yi and Shi Hao appeared atop a snowy peak, their gazes determined as they gazed upon the world of ice and snow.

"Master of the Netherworld, I want to see what you are plotting!" Shi Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his tone was icy, as if he was talking to himself, but also like a declaration of war against the Master of the Netherworld...
