However, regardless of how shocked everyone was, Yun Xiaoxi had already soared into the air. The Blade swept across, and the Starlight Power penetrated the giant beast's skull, instantly shattering the Core of the Ninth-Grade Beast. With the Core destroyed, there was no reason for the Thorned Beast to survive; its massive body crashed to the ground, dead in an instant.
Ye Yang secretly felt regret; that was the Core of a Ninth-Grade Beast! It could have been exchanged for the position of a County City lord in Liang City, living a carefree life. Yet, it was reduced to dust by Yun Xiaoxi's sword—what a waste!
...
In the next moment, a shocking change occurred!
After slaying the giant beast, Yun Xiaoxi charged forward like lightning, her Blade aimed directly at Ye Yang!
Zhang Tianhe was alarmed and rushed forward. After transforming with the Transformation of the Flood Dragon, he opened his hand and shouted, "Frost Breath!"
"Hmph!"
Yun Xiaoxi coldly smiled, her eyes filled with disdain. With a swift motion of her snow-white fingers, she effortlessly shattered Zhang Tianhe's powerful attack with a clap. Not only that, but the Starlight Power that followed also sent Zhang Tianhe reeling backward into the grass, where he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Yang was shocked; Fire God Fragment True Qi surged wildly within him. His eyes were veiled in gold as he swung his Sharp Sword to strike back with Wilderness Thunder!
Yun Xiaoxi smiled slightly; her beautiful pupils suddenly widened, causing Ye Yang's movements to slow down.
"Poof!"
With a muffled grunt, Yun Xiaoxi's sword hilt struck Ye Yang's abdomen, sending a wave of excruciating pain through him. He nearly fainted and involuntarily lurched forward.
Yun Xiaoxi grabbed Ye Yang's collar with one hand and pinned him against the stone wall behind her. Her piercing gaze locked onto him as she said calmly, "Imperial General Wang Dian died in Liang City. Were you involved?!"
Ye Yang widened his eyes in disbelief. "Who is Wang Dian?"
"Hmph, still trying to deny it?"
Yun Xiaoxi's face flashed with a hint of annoyance as she said, "Although Wang Dian has committed many atrocities, he holds a strong military presence to defend this region. If Wang Dian dies, chaos will ensue at the borders, war will rage, and countless innocent lives will be lost. Can you bear that responsibility?"
Ye Yang was taken aback. "Let's talk this out; I truly don't know who Wang Dian is!"
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, Yun Xiaoxi brandished her Sharp Sword, pressing it directly against Ye Yang's neck, with streams of Starlight Power flowing along the Blade.
"If you don't tell the truth, you will disappear."
Yun Xiaoxi said calmly.
Ye Yang looked at the beautiful girl before him and suddenly raised his eyebrows, speaking each word clearly, "What do you mean by 'disappear'?"
Yun Xiaoxi was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.
At that moment, Yan Yao hurriedly approached, lifting her skirt and calling out, "Sister Yun, is that you?"
Yun Xiaoxi turned around. "Ah?! Is that... Yan Yao?"
It seemed that Yan Yao was acquainted with this powerful figure, which relieved Ye Yang. He turned to look and saw Zhang Tianhe lying in the grass.
...
It turned out that Yan Yao had already encountered Yun Xiaoxi once at the edge of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. With Yun Xiaoxi's help, their convoy had escaped from the siege of the Blood Wolf.
Finally seeing Yan Yao made Yun Xiaoxi smile sweetly, a contrast to the fierce girl known as Killing God just moments ago.
Yan Yao said, "Ye Yang selflessly protected and helped us. If it weren't for him last night, our group would have likely become the Mist Wraith's dinner."
"Oh?"
Yun Xiaoxi nodded and suddenly asked, "Last night, a 'Tomorrow' appeared in the mountains. Was it caused by this kid?"
Yan Yao was taken aback and nodded, "Yes, Ye Yang cultivated Fire Attribute True Qi, so..."
Yun Xiaoxi took a deep breath and turned her gaze to Ye Yang, coldly saying, "Regarding Wang Dian's death, even if you were unaware, you cannot escape responsibility. I have come down the mountain under my master's orders to investigate this matter. In any case, until the cause of Wang Dian's death is clarified, you won't be able to escape. Otherwise, the fate of the Thorned Beast will be the same as yours!"
Ye Yang felt a chill run down his spine and clenched his fists tightly. After thinking for a moment, he decided to let it go. He couldn't defeat her anyway; it was better to endure for now. A gentleman takes revenge ten years later; he would take action against her husband after this girl got married!
He then turned and walked over to Zhang Tianhe's side. He checked his injuries; Zhang Tianhe's arms were covered in wounds. However, the True Qi within Zhang Tianhe was quite special, and his recovery speed was astonishing. With a bit of medication, he would likely fully recover in three to five days. After all, with Earth Level Eight strength, he inherently possessed strong recovery abilities.
...
Continuing on their journey, the team lost four more guards but gained a beautiful girl of Starry Sky level.
Yun Xiaoxi held a Sharp Sword and silently followed Ye Yang, making him feel uncomfortable.
"What are you following me for?"
Suddenly, Ye Yang could no longer hold back and turned to ask.
Yun Xiaoxi looked into the distance and replied lightly, "To keep an eye on you. I must find out the cause of Wang Dian's death; otherwise, I cannot return to the mountain gate or report to my master."
"Hmph!" Ye Yang said coldly, "If you want to follow me, then go ahead. After sending Yan Yao out of Azure Cloud Mountain Range, Tianhe and I will venture deeper into Azure Cloud Mountain Range."
"Is that so?"
Yun Xiaoxi's lips curled into a slight smile as she said softly, "Are you going to feed the magical beasts?"
"I am going out to train!"
"You're clearly just going to feed the magical beasts, yet you won't admit it."
"Damn it!"
"Hmph!"
Ye Yang possessed Earth Level Seven Peak strength, yet he was still belittled to the point of worthlessness, unable to refute it. In fact, Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe were far inferior to Yun Xiaoxi; they couldn't even withstand Yun Xiaoxi's distant pressure. This was why a single cold glance from Yun Xiaoxi could make them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
...
The group did not move too slowly, and within half a day's effort, they reached the edge of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
Yan Yao stood atop the mountain ridge, with the forest leading to the Yan Kingdom to the north and Ye Yang, Zhang Tianhe, and Yun Xiaoxi to the south.
"Ye Yang, do you really not want to return to the Yan Kingdom with me?" Yan Yao asked with watery eyes, reluctant to part.
Ye Yang shook his head. "I'm sorry, I still have many things to do."
"Oh..."
Yan Yao pursed her red lips and turned her gaze toward Yun Xiaoxi, softly saying, "Sister Yun?"
"Mm?"
"Can you promise me one request?"
"Sure, go ahead!"
Yan Yao opened her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "No matter what grievances you have with Ye Yang, please do not kill him, okay?"
Everyone was stunned.
Yun Xiaoxi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, even if I wanted to deal with him, I wouldn't need to do it myself."
Yan Yao nodded and looked at Ye Yang, gently smiling as she said, "If you are not doing well in the south, then come to the north. The gates of Yan Kingdom will always be open to you."
Ye Yang nodded with a smile and replied, "Okay, I will remember that!"
"Then, goodbye!"
Yan Yao got into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked back several times. Yuwen Shang cupped his fists towards Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe, smiling as he said, "Young Heroes, we shall meet again!"
As the sun set in the west, the group slowly departed in the fading light of dusk.
