“Qi Zhong’s dead?” Not only the Qi family’s people were at a loss; even the Tie family’s people were completely dumbfounded. Cultivators at the late stage of the True Essence realm were incredibly powerful; how could they be killed so easily?

“He’s dead?” Not too far away, even the Tie family’s Second Patriarch who was still fighting to keep his poison under control was incredibly shocked. As a True Essence realm cultivator himself, someone who had fought with Qi Zhong, he knew just how strong Qi Zhong was!

“Thank goodness he’s fine.” The Third Miss’ eyebrows unfurrowed as she patted her chest, finally able to relax. Just then, when the youth’s eyes were closed, she had been anxious out of her mind.

 “I’m still not strong enough!” After killing Qi Zhong, Xiao Yun silently sighed and hurriedly activated the Spirit-Destroying Divine Art to help him recover his spirit energy. Just then, when he had combined his spirit energy with the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s, the power unleashed from the Spirit-Destroying Spear had been incredible.

However, there was an extremely great risk – if their spirit energy could not maintain the Spirit-Destroying Spear, the magic seal combining their spirit energy would be destroyed, and their souls would be greatly damaged. Although they had succeeded, Xiao Yun still had a sense of lingering fear.

They could use this sort of method against normal enemies, but if they faced a powerful expert who could resist the Spirit-Destroying Spear, they could even suffer a backlash.

“If this lord’s strength had recovered, I would be able to devour thousands, if not tens of thousands of people like him in one go,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow sighed. It seemed quite sad as it said, “Lil Yun, you need to work hard and cultivate, as well as gather some medicinal ingredients to refine a Soul Heaven Pill for me. In order to help you, I used up large amounts of my spirit energy, and I’ll have to recover for a long time.”

Xiao Yun replied, “Don’t worry, as long as I can enter the Heaven Origin Sect, what need will there be for us to worry about medicinal ingredients?”

The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow nodded. It naturally knew the benefits of joining those large sects. These sorts of sects controlled the best resources under the heavens, and some even grew their own spiritual medicine. As long as one was favoured by the sect, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to obtain medicinal ingredients. As such, Xiao Yun first needed to obtain the acknowledgement of the Heaven Origin Sect.

After this, Xiao Yun started to focus on recovering instead of saying anymore.

“What do we do now?” Within the valley, the Qi family’s people were completely alarmed and trembled in fear, not knowing what to do. Both of their True Essence realm experts had been killed, and with just them left, they had no chance at fighting.

One of the elders said with a serious look in his eyes, “Hurry up and retreat!”.

The remaining 10 or so Qi family cultivators all turned and ran.

“Not a single one of you will get away today!” The people of the Tie family rushed after them, filled with killing intent.

The Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s eyes gleamed as he also attacked, despite knowing the consequences. They definitely couldn’t let these people go.

Bang!

The large sword sliced out, looking as if a milky way was furiously twisting about. A powerful and chaotic force also swept out, and before the Qi family’s cultivators could run far, they were caught within the attack. The bones of many of the cultivators cracked, and their blood rolled about within their bodies. Some of them were even blasted tens of metres away.

Under the attack from a cultivator at the complete stage of the True Essence realm, these cultivators who were pitifully escaping could not take a single blow.

Kill!

The Tie family’s people charged over, wiping out the remnants of the Qi family’s party.

Pu!

After attacking a few times, the poison within the Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s body entered his meridians, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

“Second Patriarch!” Some of the Tie family’s people hurriedly rushed over, looking incredibly worried.

The Third Miss hurriedly ran over, asking anxiously, “Second Uncle, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch said as he waved his hand and wiped the blood from his lips. He looked at the young woman beside him as he asked, “Rong’Er, has your poison been cured?” The young woman’s skin was as white as sheep fat and no longer contained any traces of blackness. This caused the Tie family’s Second Patriarch to rejoice.

“Mm,” Tie Rong’Er replied. “It was all thanks to that young sir.”

 As she spoke, Tie Rong’Er’s eyes looked over to the youth in the distance whose eyes were closed as he silently recovered from the battle.

 There were some ripples within her eyes, and as she thought about the extraction of her poison, her heart started to rapidly beat. She blushed in embarrassment and shyness, but she herself did not notice these things.

“This little friend Xiao Yun is quite extraordinary.” The Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s eyes narrowed as he continuously nodded his head. This youth’s power had completely shocked him – even if he was in his strongest state, he wouldn’t be able to kill Qi Zhong in an instant like that!

“Second Patriarch, the Tie family’s people have all been killed.” At this moment, a cultivator walked over and reported, “This is the antidote we found on them.”

“Give it to the brothers,” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch said.

“Yes!” That person nodded, then asked, “What about your injuries?”

“I’ll need to find the poison on Qi Zhong’s corpse,” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch replied.

Afterwards, a cultivator did indeed find the antidote on Qi Zhong’s corpse. These people would always carry the antidote to the poisons on themselves, just in case they were poisoned. However, each person only carried one portion of the antidote. In fact, some of them had even destroyed their antidotes as they died, so that the Tie family’s people could not use them.

After receiving the antidote, the Tie family’s Second Patriarch silently rejoiced. Without the antidote, he would not have been able to last for very long.

“We’ll rest here for 2 hours before moving on,” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch loudly announced after receiving the antidote.

“Yes!” The Tie family’s people started hurrying about and treating injuries.

“Thank you for helping, little friend.” The Tie family’s Second Patriarch did not rush to use the antidote, but instead walked over to Xiao Yun and cupped his hands in salute as he smiled.

“I’m travelling with you all, so helping you is equivalent to helping myself,” Xiao Yun said as he courteously smiled. “How are Second Patriarch’s injuries?”

“Haha, this old man’s injuries aren’t very serious. Our Tie family will forever remember the kindness that little friend Xiao has shown to us. If you ever need our help with anything, all you need to do is ask,” the Tie family’s Second Patriarch said as he laughed loudly. His tone towards Xiao Yun had become much more respectful and courteous. In fact, Xiao Yun could even see a trace of restraining fear in his eyes.

Evidently, after killing 2 True Essence realm cultivators, even the Tie family’s Second Patriarch felt quite timid before Xiao Yun. If this youth wanted to attack them, what could they do about it?

When he saw the elder’s worry in his eyes, Xiao Yun bitterly laughed inwardly. He had used up all of his spirit energy, and it would be impossible for him to use the Spirit-Destroying Spear again within a short period of time.

However, naturally, Xiao Yun would not reveal his weak state. If this old man had ill intentions, things would become problematic.

“Second Patriarch doesn’t need to be so courteous; I’ll be happy with just being able to leave this Illusory Fog Forest,” Xiao Yun said as he smiled. “Of course, if Second Patriarch could gather some medicinal ingredients for me, that would be perfect.”

“Haha, this old man will do his best to obtain anything that little friend Xiao needs.” The trace of worry within the Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s gaze disappeared, and he smiled and said, “Since it’s like that, this old man will go and treat his injuries. Rong’Er, keep little friend Xiao company.” After speaking, he turned and left.

“Mm.” Tie Rong’Er replied, staying next to the youth.

“Young master Xiao Yun, are you an Innate realm cultivator?” Tie Rong’Er’s figure was tall and slim with a pair of large and full breasts. Her face was also peerlessly charming, her eyes like a still lake. As she spoke, her eyelashes slightly trembled, and she looked towards the youth next to her in curiosity.

“Mm,” Xiao Yun nodded.

“Do you have a Fire Martial Spirit?” Tie Rong’Er asked in a low voice, looking incredibly curious. Her soft voice could make anyone feel intoxicated, and if any of the youths from the North Mist City knew that this young woman was being so friendly to a young man, they would go crazy with envy.

However, Xiao Yun only calmly smiled as he replied, “Something like that.” He did not say any more after that.

He had only met the Tie family’s people by chance, and both parties were in a delicate situation, so it would be bad if he said too much.

“If young master Xiao Yun needs anything, please let me know.” Tie Rong’Er could tell that Xiao Yun did not want to say anymore, so she did not continue to ask.

“Mm.” Xiao Yun nodded his head, looking quite calm. His expression made the Tie family’s youths almost go crazy. If it was a few hours ago, these youths would have come over and made things difficult for Xiao Yun. However, after seeing him vanquish 2 True Essence realm cultivators, they could only marvel at him secretly. For such an extraordinary youth, how could he not be surrounded by beauties who wanted to be with him?

Xiao Yun ignored those people and went into a tent that had been torn by arrows to start recovering his spirit energy. As long as he had his strength, he wouldn’t have to be afraid no matter where he went.

The Tie family’s people also treated their injuries at the same time. 2 hours later, most of the people who had been poisoned had recovered, and the Tie family’s Second Patriarch’s complexion also looked much better. However, because they had suffered quite a lot of injuries, the Tie family’s morale was not very high.

After packing their things, the Tie family’s people immediately set out on their way, not daring to stay there any longer.

Many of their horses had died during the battle, so Xiao Yun and Tie Rong’Er shared a carriage as they left the valley.

The Illusory Fog Forest was covered with a dense mist, as well as illusory fog that could affect one’s mind. However, with the Tie family’s people leading the way, they passed through it fairly smoothly. They passed through many places without any other humans, which made Xiao Yun feel quite curious. Could it be that the illusory fog did not affect them?

“The Illusory Fog Forest is covered by fog and mist the entire year round, but there are paths that can be followed.” Seeing the strange look on Xiao Yun’s face, Tie Rong’Er elegantly smiled as she explained, “Look, the sun is gradually setting in the west, and the sun’s rays can show us where west is. As long as we follow those rays of light, we’ll be able to navigate even until sunset.”

“It’s that simple?” Xiao Yun looked out, and found that there were indeed rays of light coming from the west. However, the rays of light were difficult to see, and if one did not search for them, it would be difficult for them to see them. Xiao Yun had not noticed this earlier, but with his powerful senses, he was able to understand immediately.

“Haha, it seems simple, but it requires careful observation. Normally, after people enter the Illusory Fog Forest, they become lost and start to panic, wanting to charge out. As such, they naturally wouldn’t notice such a thing,” Tie Rong’Er said as she smiled. “Moreover, the illusory fog strikes fear into people’s hearts, which can be incredibly distracting. Under the effects from the fog, it’s incredibly difficult for one to settle down and check for such minute details.”

“That’s true.” Xiao Yun nodded. Back then, when he had been confused by the fog, he had felt quite panicked, and had only wanted to quickly leave.

“Look, there’s some Illusory Fragrance Grass by that tree’s shade. They give off a fragrance that can affect one’s mind, so we have to hold our breaths while passing by. Normal people usually don’t know about how powerful these plants are, and fall victim to them,” Tie Rong’Er said as she pointed at some jade-green grass. The flowers and grass gave off a faint fragrance, looking almost the same as normal flowers and grasses.

“So it’s like that.” As Tie Rong’Er explained, Xiao Yun began to have a greater understanding towards this Illusory Fog Forest.
