Looking at the corpse of the Mist Wraith on the ground, everyone was filled with joy, experiencing a sense of survival after a disaster.
Yan Yao stepped forward, bowed gracefully, and said with a smile, "Thank you both, Young Heroes, for your assistance!"
Zhang Tianhe nudged Ye Yang with his elbow and whispered with a grin, "The opportunity has come, Zi Yu!"
Ye Yang wished he could silence him, feeling somewhat awkward as he replied, "Miss, there's no need to be so polite. Since we joined your team tonight and enjoyed your Azure Wind Antelope Barbecue, it would be unreasonable not to lend a hand. Besides, they were just a few magical beasts; it was only right to eliminate them."
Zhang Tianhe patted his chest and laughed heartily, "These beautiful ladies are right! My brother speaks well. Look at my brother Zi Yu; he is quite talented and has impressive skills. Among the younger generation, he can be considered a prodigy. If you don't mind, how about we..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Yang turned away and swung his arm, hitting Zhang Tianhe's chest with a thud, cutting off whatever he was about to say.
General Yuwen Shang couldn't help but laugh heartily and clasped his fists together, saying, "You two Young Heroes are so young yet possess such skills; you truly deserve to be called prodigies. I think..."
Yuwen Shang glanced at Yan Yao, hesitating to continue.
Yan Yao immediately understood and chuckled lightly, "Young Heroes, as you can see, the Azure Cloud Mountain Range is exceptionally perilous. Our caravan desperately needs capable experts to accompany us. If you two don't mind, why not return with us to the Yan Kingdom? Once you enter the borders of Yan Kingdom, your fame will surely spread far and wide, and receiving titles and positions within the country will be no problem!"
Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe exchanged glances. This was a warm invitation from a northern cold country! With their abilities, indeed they could become valuable advisors in any feudal state; however, going to Yan Kingdom contradicted their original plan.
Ye Yang maintained a calm expression and smiled slightly as he said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Miss. However, Tianhe and I cannot accompany you. We still need to venture deeper into the Azure Cloud Mountain Range for our training. But we can escort you out of the dangerous areas of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range; what do you think?"
"Oh, I see..." Yan Yao felt slightly disappointed but quickly smiled again. "Well then, having two extraordinary experts accompanying us will surely make this journey smooth!"
Zhang Tianhe nodded with a smile. "Of course."
At that moment, the fireball in the sky had burned out completely, and finally, darkness enveloped the surroundings once more.
Yuwen Shang walked over to Yan Yao and said, "It's getting late, Your Highness. Please rest early. We will guard until dawn, and as soon as the clouds clear, we will set off!"
Yan Yao glanced at Ye Yang, then at Zhang Tianhe, and finally nodded, softly saying, "Mm."
The night passed in silence.
Zhang Tianhe continued to snore loudly in his sleep, while Ye Yang leaned against a tree, immersed in the realm of Refining Technique. The flames of True Qi flowed within him as he repeatedly reached out to touch the scorching Fire Element, gaining new insights into it. However, these insights were rather vague and unclear.
In the morning, the first rays of dawn broke through the clouds, and everyone slowly woke up.
Princess Yan Yao nimbly landed from the carriage, holding a water pouch as she walked up to Ye Yang and smiled, "Zi Yu, would you like some water?"
Unable to refuse her kindness, Ye Yang drank while looking at Yan Yao. He noticed this beautiful girl shyly lowering her head and fiddling with the hem of her skirt. Her demeanor made Ye Yang's heart tremble. Could it be that after last night's battle, Princess Yan Yao had developed a subtle fondness for him?
Thinking of this, a series of clichéd romantic scenarios involving princes and princesses flashed through his mind. Ye Yang shook his head repeatedly; what kind of nonsense was this? Although the Yan Kingdom was remote, in a world torn by war, there would inevitably be no safe haven. Being a prince consort had no future. Besides, he didn't have those kinds of feelings for Yan Yao; at most, he felt like he wanted to protect her from harm as if she were a younger sister.
Everyone took out their rations and slightly heated them over the campfire to have for breakfast. Then Yuwen Shang raised his Blade and shouted, "Brothers, prepare to set off! Once we cross the two hills ahead, we will be out of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range's heartland. Beyond that is a flat and safe area. Everyone stay alert and ensure the safety of Her Highness!"
"Yes!"
A group of guards drew their Blades in unison while the coachman urged the horses onward.
Ye Yang carried the Breaking Flame Sword and Haotian Sword on his back while Zhang Tianhe held a package as they followed the group. According to their agreement, they would escort Yan Yao and her party out of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range before returning to delve deeper into it for training. Of course, they were already deep within the mountain range now; encountering magical beasts was not unusual.
The caravan moved at a moderate pace; everyone was hurried except for Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe, whose expressions were very calm—almost relaxed. With their strength, they could indeed stroll leisurely here without worrying about life-threatening dangers.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by two piercing cries, a massive shadow flew overhead, possessing wings and moving at incredible speed, vanishing in an instant!
"Be careful, hide!"
Yuwen Shang hurriedly commanded, his face turning pale. After the shadow flew far away, he said with lingering fear, "Was that the legendary Fire-Devouring Dragon?"
Ye Yang was astonished. "Fire-Devouring Dragon? What is that?"
Yuwen Shang frowned and explained, "It's a type of ancient dragon. The people of the Central Plains regard it as a Fire Dragon totem. There are indeed dragons in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, but that one is a ferocious beast. The Fire-Devouring Dragon is an inferior Dragon-type among dragons, possessing both feet and wings. It resides in volcanoes year-round, absorbing fiery energy. Its core is filled with Fire Element, making it a natural fire manipulator. Legend has it that a single Fire-Devouring Dragon can incinerate an entire forest in an instant!"
Ye Yang was shocked. "Is it really that powerful?"
"Yes, the Fire-Devouring Dragon is a Ninth-Grade Beast, one of the most powerful beings closest to Starry Sky Level Beasts!"
Zhang Tianhe broke out in a cold sweat. "Fortunately, that Fire-Devouring Dragon didn't notice us just now; otherwise, we would have been in grave danger!"
Yuwen Shang couldn't help but chuckle. "How could a Ninth-Grade Beast's sensing ability not detect us? In my opinion, this Fire-Devouring Dragon simply doesn't take us seriously!"
Zhang Tianhe clenched his fists. "This is outrageous! This dragon is so arrogant. Zi Yu, let's turn back and deal with it deep in the mountains!"
Ye Yang said, "You should lower your voice when you speak, big brother..."
Zhang Tianhe: "..."
Yan Yao chuckled and said, "Shall we continue on our way?"
"Mm."
The convoy moved forward. Soon, they passed through a treacherous mountain range, with jagged peaks looming on the right side. The sounds of howling wolves and roaring tigers echoed occasionally, making this place truly perilous.
Suddenly, a shadow broke through!
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, a guard at Earth Level Five nearby let out a muffled groan as he was deeply embedded into the rocky wall, his body shattered beyond recognition. His chest was torn open, with a large boulder lodged in his abdomen; it was clear that he had been killed by a falling rock!
Yuwen Shang exclaimed in shock, "Protect His Highness! Prepare to face the enemy!"
"What is it?" Zhang Tianhe asked in astonishment.
Ye Yang's gaze was fixed on the distance, where a massive beast stood. It was about three meters tall, humanoid in shape, covered in thorny spikes. It held a large boulder in its hand and let out a deep roar, its blood-red eyes glaring at the approaching humans.
