As night fell,
in a secluded spot behind the rocky mountains, Zhang Tianhe gathered some dry branches and lit a campfire against the rocks, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark night.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of fire shot through the forest, startling the birds and accompanied by the anguished cries of wild beasts.
In an instant, Ye Yang's handsome figure appeared, holding the blood-stained Breaking Flame Sword in one hand and carrying a blue antelope on his shoulder—the legendary Azure Wind Antelope.
Behind Ye Yang, a gentle breeze flowed as a beautiful figure gracefully descended—it was Yun Xiaoxi!
Zhang Tianhe clapped his hands and laughed, "Zi Yu is amazing! You managed to hunt such a plump Azure Wind Antelope so quickly. It's said that this creature is incredibly fast, like lightning, and that no one below Earth Level Eight can catch it. Yet Zi Yu managed to hunt one in just an hour—truly remarkable!"
"An hour? Two hours…"
Ye Yang lowered his eyelids, "Are you joking with me, Tianhe…"
"Haha, not at all!"
Zhang Tianhe took the Azure Wind Antelope and pulled out a sharp dagger, immediately starting to bleed and skin it. He glanced up at Yun Xiaoxi with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Yun Xiaoxi scanned Zhang Tianhe with her beautiful eyes, standing ten meters away with her long sword held firmly, coldly observing the two.
After Zhang Tianhe finished skinning the Azure Wind Antelope, Ye Yang used the Breaking Flame Sword as a handle to pierce through the antelope's body and tossed it onto a rack for roasting. He then took out some ingredients he had brought from Liang City, applying oil and seasoning them in an orderly manner.
"Hmph, using a Seventh-Rank Weapon like this is simply a waste..." Yun Xiaoxi scoffed from a distance.
Ye Yang ignored her and focused on preparing a delicious dinner. Although the Azure Cloud Mountain Range was teeming with magical beasts, for a strong individual, it was a paradise. Not only could one train here, but there was also an abundance of natural game. After killing a High-Level Beast, the Core could be brought back to human cities for a substantial amount of silver!
Ye Yang calculated silently: "The Cosmic Bag is filled with numerous Demon Beast Cores; I have Cores from Sixth-Stage Beasts and Seven-Tiered Beasts. Once I return to Liang City, these Cores alone should fetch me over ten thousand taels of silver, right?"
In reality, Ye Yang's thoughts were quite simple. Most individuals with Earth Level Seven or even Earth Level Eight strength could seek high positions from local Governors, easily obtaining military roles such as city guards or generals. Those with greater ambition might rally forces in chaotic times to establish themselves as kings and seize territories!
However, someone like Ye Yang, who possessed Earth Level Seven Peak strength yet only thought about collecting Cores to amass wealth, was indeed considered exceptional in this world.
Of course, Ye Yang himself was indifferent to this. He had no intention of achieving any imperial ambitions in this world; he simply aimed to continuously cultivate and grow stronger to survive while seeking a way back to his original world. Just imagine how impressive it would be if he returned to modern times with his current cultivation! Summoning flames out of thin air and cleaving mountains with a single sword strike—such power would no longer be mere magic; he might even make it onto the Spring Festival Gala.
While he was happily contemplating the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Tianhe had already stood up and said solemnly, "Zi Yu, what do you plan to do about that Yun Xiaoxi?"
Ye Yang sighed in relief and replied with a smile, "Let nature take its course!"
"Oh? Hmm..."
Not long after, the aroma of roasted Azure Wind Antelope wafted through the air.
Ye Yang stood up and walked towards Yun Xiaoxi with determination. However, when he was about three meters away from her, Yun Xiaoxi coldly said, "Stop!"
Slowly turning around under the moonlight, Yun Xiaoxi's stunningly beautiful face glowed with a holy light as she looked at Ye Yang with guarded eyes. "Ye Yang, let me ask you one more time: do you really not know the cause of Wang Dian's death?"
Ye Yang looked directly at Yun Xiaoxi and said clearly, "Wang Dian is that general from the Qin State? Well, on the day of the duel at the Fire God Altar, I was severely injured and imprisoned in Cold Wind Cave. As for what happened outside, I had no idea."
Yun Xiaoxi frowned slightly, "No idea? Hmph, regardless, you are the first awakened Guardian Warrior in hundreds of years. How could you not know?"
"What does being a Guardian Warrior have to do with anything?"
Ye Yang took a deep breath and said, "You act without understanding the situation. Do you know everything that happened at the Fire God Altar? I was almost assassinated in Cold Wind Cave; do you know that? Why do you care about Wang Dian's life or death but never ask about the lives of common people like me?"
"I..."
Yun Xiaoxi was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly became resolute and said word by word, "The Serene Gate upholds the heavenly way and brings peace to the world. Everything I do is merely to spare countless lives from suffering!"
"And what about your mission from your sect this time?"
"To investigate Wang Dian's cause of death!"
Yun Xiaoxi bit her lip and said, "This matter is of great importance and must not be mishandled. Wang Dian is not only an Imperial General but also a favored general of the Qin Emperor. If the Qin Emperor learns that his beloved general did not die at the hands of beasts but was murdered, then a catastrophe will befall Liang City and even affect places like Peng City. How can the people of Azure Xu and Qing Provinces live in peace?"
Ye Yang sneered, "You think you can save the world all by yourself?"
"I..."
Yun Xiaoxi's gaze flickered as she looked southward and said, "The most important thing is... never mind, why am I telling you this? You should set up camp; aren't you going to the core Gorge of Azure Cloud Mountain Range tomorrow? Don't die too quickly; that would be too disappointing."
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and replied, "Damn it! On what basis do you think Tianhe and I will definitely die?"
Yun Xiaoxi smiled lightly, revealing a hint of amusement. "A Ninth Rank Thorned Beast has left you all unable to live or die. If you encountered a Starry Sky Level Beast, how would you stand a chance at survival?"
"Hmph, just wait and see!"
Ye Yang had his own reasoning. If he didn't challenge those above his level, killing some Low-Level Beasts would be of no benefit to his cultivation. Since entering the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, he had mostly challenged powerful magical beasts stronger than himself. His strength had already reached the Earth Level Seven Peak Realm, which was more than just a single level up.
Only when on the brink of life and death can a person's potential be fully unleashed; the same goes for cultivation. To advance quickly, one must face opponents stronger than oneself; otherwise, progress would be slow. Ye Yang couldn't afford to wait. He had too many strong enemies. Peng Feng possessed Earth Level Nine strength and might advance to the Stellar Realm one day. At that time, if he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't just be unable to protect the Ye Family but might even lose his own life.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Yun Xiaoxi stood in the night sky, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Yang as she softly asked.
Ye Yang looked up at Yun Xiaoxi's flowing figure, resembling a fairy descending to the mortal realm. He couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment before sighing and saying, "The mountain wind is chilly; come by the campfire..."
"Ah?"
Yun Xiaoxi opened her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
