In the vast mountain forest of the Yingchou Mountain, a young man and a young woman were running rapidly along a mountain stream. The young man pulled the woman, and the latter's feet almost left the ground. It could be seen how fast she was.
After running for an unknown period of time, they appeared in a dense ancient jungle, which was probably no less than 20 miles away from the periphery of the Yingchou Mountain.
"Oh, it's almost time. This is the depths of the Yingchou Mountain. The Jia family should not dare to chase after us."

Standing still, Yun Yun could not help but gasp for breath. In the end, he simply sat down on the ground and recovered his physical strength.
Since he received Lin Yue'er's help three days ago, he had entered the Yingchou Mountain as soon as possible to find a way to save her. Until now, he hadn't rested for a while. If it weren't for the incomparably wonderful five elements true essence in his dantian, he would have died long ago.
"Miss Yue'er, are you alright?"
As he slowly ran the Genuine Qi in his body to recover his physical strength, Yun Xiao immediately looked at Lin Yue'er beside him and asked with concern.
This time, he was here to rescue Lin Yue'er. If anything were to happen to her, he would lose more than he gained.
Lin Yue'er was pulled by Yun Xiao to run. She didn't consume too much strength. However, when she heard Yun Xiao asking her, she didn't answer immediately. Instead, she just looked at Yun Xiao in a daze.

For Lin Yue'er, she had to sort out what had happened today. At least, she had to get to know the clouds in front of her again.
As a fourth level true qi practitioner, she was well aware of what Yunxiao had done today, and how hard it was to believe.
She didn't know how Yunxiao led a small marten tribe to the Jia Family, but she could clearly see Yunxiao punch Jia Pingzheng away. He took her for another 20 miles in one breath, and he ran 20 miles in one breath. Perhaps only a martial artist who had condensed True Energy could do that!
"Master Yunxiao, you really don't show your true colors!"

After a long silence, Lin Yue'er suddenly smiled. As she spoke, she leaned against the clouds and sat down. She observed the other party from head to toe, her eyes full of curiosity.
Yun Xiao's reputation was well-known throughout the entire Red Luan Town. Everyone said that he was born to be unable to cultivate true qi. But it was only now that she realized that he was a highly well-hidden expert. At the very least, no one among the younger generation that she knew could be compared to him.
"Ahem, don't make fun of me, Miss Yue'er." Being stared at by Lin Yue'er, Yun Xiao suddenly felt a little nervous, but there was a little excitement in the depths of his heart.
For him, Lin Yue'er was a goddess. At this moment, the goddess was sitting beside him. He could even smell the fragrance of her body, which was refreshing.
"How can this be a joke? Everyone thinks of you as trash, but in my opinion, those who look down on you are the real good-for-nothings."
Lin Yue'er rolled her eyes at Yun Xiao and narrowed her eyes like a little fox. "Tell me, have you already opened your Dantian and condensed your True Energy?"
She'd liked to practice martial arts since she was young. To be honest, it was extremely rare for a woman to reach the fourth level of the true qi realm at the age of fifteen.
According to her observation, with Yun Xiao's current cultivation, even if he hadn't reached the true essence realm, he would probably be at the eighth or eighth level of the true qi realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve his current performance. Regardless of whether it was the true essence realm or the eighth or eighth level of the true qi realm, Yun Xiao could be considered a true genius.
One had to know, when Jia Pingzheng had reached the sixth level of the true qi realm at the age of sixteen, he had already been praised as a rare genius in Hong Luan town for a hundred years. Yun Xiao was even younger than Jia Pingzheng, but his strength was much stronger than Jia Pingzheng's. If he wasn't a genius, then what was he?
"I, I just opened up my Dantian a few days ago. You have to keep it a secret for me."
Yun Xiao avoided her gaze. He did not dare to look directly into Lin Yue-er's eyes, but obediently explained his background.
Of course, he would never tell anyone about how he opened up his dantian and his identity as a master.
"Have you really reached the True Origin realm?"
Even though Lin Yue'er was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by Yun Xiao's recognition. She stared at Yun Xiao as if she were looking at a monster.
A sixteen year old True Origin Realm expert was no small matter. In the entire Red Luan Town, no one had ever heard of someone reaching the True Origin Realm before the age of sixteen.
She had heard that the son of the master of the Thundercloud Manor was a genius. At the age of seventeen, he had become an expert in the True Origin Realm. However, he was an entire year older than Yun Xiao and could not be compared to Yun Xiao.
"I got it. It must be Master Yun Jin's credit!"
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately figured out the reason.
She had long heard that Yunxiao had been soaking in the medicine barrel since he was a child. Originally, she also thought that it was for treating diseases. But now, thinking about it, if it was really for treating diseases, why should she soak in the medicine barrel instead of swallowing those spiritual herbs?
In addition, she had seen Yun Jin fight back then and knew that Yun Jin was a true and hidden expert. Under the guidance of such a mysterious expert, it was not surprising that Yun Yun would be able to advance to the true essence realm.
"It's indeed Grandpa's credit." Of course, Yunxiao would not refute. He also knew that his current realm was a little unusual, and it was undoubtedly the best explanation to owe this to Yun Jin.
Anyway, Yun Jin had already left. Even if Lin Yue'er wanted to seek confirmation, there was nothing she could do.
"Master Yun Jin is amazing." Lin Yue'er did not doubt him. Her face was full of respect. "By the way, where is Master Yun Jin? Is he still hunting in the mountains?"
She just remembered that she had asked Lian'er to ask Yun Jin for help, but now she only saw Yunxiao. It was very likely that Yunxiao had acted alone this time. Otherwise, it would not have been so troublesome.
"Grandpa, he..."
"Tsk, tsk. The two of you are really fast!"
Yunxiao was about to tell Lin Yue'er about Yun Jin's departure, but before he could finish his words, a soft laugh suddenly came. Before he could stop laughing, two young men came leisurely from outside the dense forest. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of him.
"Hmm?"
The sudden appearance of the two young men caused Yun Xiao's expression to change drastically. He instinctively bounced up from the ground and protected Lin Yue'er, who had also stood up, behind him.
"True essence realm martial practitioners?"
Yun Xiao's eyes turned and his pupils shrank slightly. His entire person immediately tensed up.
Relying on his powerful Spiritual Power, he could tell at a glance that the cultivation of the two men in front of him had reached the True Origin Realm. They were at least at the peak of the Initial True Origin Realm, or even the Profound True Origin Realm.
He had previously been surrounded and attacked by three initial true essence realm practitioners from the Jia Family, so he was able to sense their strength. In comparison, the two young men in front of him were probably much stronger than the three of them.
"These two people..." His memories flew. He hurriedly recalled where he had seen these two before. Soon after, he vaguely pieced some pictures together.
Although he did not deliberately look around in the main hall of the Jia Family, just one glance was enough for him to remember the appearance of these two people. This was the strength of a divine master.
"With such an age and such a level of cultivation, could they be disciples of the Thunder Cloud Academy?"
Judging from the looks of these two people, they were at most in their twenties. To be able to reach such a realm at such an age, there must be no such small town like Hong Luan Town.
Thinking back to what Jia Pingzheng had said before, the experts from the Thunder Cloud Academy were in the Jia Family as guests. The two's doppelgangers should be close to eighty to ninety percent.
"Not bad, not bad. Your vigilance is very high, and your previous schemes were also very delicate. I didn't expect that there would be such a genius in such a poor and remote place like Hongluan Town."
While Yun Xiao was analyzing the two of them, Jiang Shan and Lei Ming were also carefully observing Yun Xiao.
The two of them had originally thought that they would catch up to Yun Xiao and Lin Yue'er very soon. However, the truth was that they had chased for more than twenty miles before they finally found the two of them.
They were all people at the advanced realm of the true essence realm. For them to be able to chase after him for such a long time, Yun Xiao's cultivation was evident.
Yunxiao had been hunting in the deep mountains all day, and his face looked a little older than his actual age, but in general, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. A sixteen or seventeen year old true essence realm martial artist, even in the entire Thunder Cloud Academy, was also a genius that was specially groomed by the academy. This kind of martial arts talent really made them jealous.
"Nice to meet you, big brothers."
Yun Yun took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. He cupped his hands toward the two of them and said. As long as they were not from the Jia clan, it was not a bad situation for him.
"Don't try to win her over. It's useless to win her over." However, towards Yun Xiao's kindness, Jiang Shan and Lei Ming did not buy it at all. "Kid, we want this woman. If you know what's good for you, you can hide somewhere else. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Their target was Lin Yue'er. Naturally, they had to first take control of Lin Yue'er. As for Yun Yun, once they captured Lin Yue'er, they would have plenty of time to deal with him.
"You two shouldn't be members of the Jia Family. Why are you involved in this?"
Hearing their words, Yun Xiao frowned, but he no longer pretended to be polite to them. The purpose of these two people was clear. Even if he knelt down to them, they would never let go of Lin Yue'er.
"You don't have to worry about that. It seems that you are determined to be a hero. In that case, don't blame us for being rude!"
They knew that Yunxiao would not be obedient, but that was exactly what they wanted. Anyway, no matter what happened, Yunxiao had to die today, even if they could not bring Lin Yue'er back in the end.
It was common for people to be jealous. Yun Xiao's talent was definitely better than theirs. If he let Yun Xiao live, it meant that there might be one more master over them in the future. What's more, if they wanted to take Lin Yue'er away, they would definitely become enemies with Yun Xiao. They did not want to leave such a potential enemy for themselves.
"Bang!!"
With a stomp of his feet, Jiang Shan and Lei Ming sprang into action almost at the same time. His palm, which was as big as a fan, grabbed towards the clouds with extreme ferocity.
"Be careful!!!"
Seeing the two of them fight, Lin Yue'er, who was behind them, couldn't help exclaiming. She could see that the strength of these two people was extremely terrifying. Even the strongest Minister of Offerings in the Lin Family couldn't match them. Yun Xiao had just opened his Dantian a few days ago, so he was definitely no match for the two of them.
"Goldstone Fist!!!"
Without Lin Yue'er's reminder, Yun Xiao already knew that this battle was inevitable. When Jiang Shan and Lei Ming's attacks came close, he did not dodge or dodge. Instead, his slightly thin right fist fiercely smashed towards Jiang Shan, who was slightly faster.
"Bang!"
When the fist and palm met, Yun Xiao only felt a strong force coming from Jiang Shan's palm. Then, he took five steps back uncontrollably and barely stopped.
"So powerful. I'm afraid I'm no match for him."
Yun Xiao stopped and his heart sank. He knew that he was going to be in big trouble.
From this fight, he guessed that the strength of the two of them had truly reached the advanced realm of the true essence realm. It was definitely not something that he, who had just entered the true essence realm, could handle.
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Jiang Shan also took three steps back before stopping. Although he was two steps away from Yun Xiao, the shock in his heart was much stronger than Yun Xiao's.
"What? How, how is this possible?"
Feeling the numbness from his palm, Jiang Shan's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
Next to him, Lei Ming also subconsciously withdrew his attack. It seemed that he was also shocked by Yunxiao's punch. The two disciples of the Inner Academy of Thunder Cloud Academy looked at each other and saw unspeakable horror in each other's eyes.
