Luo Yi nodded. "Yes.""Where is that black-path cultivator now, and what is he doing at the moment?" the gate guard asked. "We'll report this to the City Lord so he can dispatch cultivators to deal with this matter.""There's no need to worry," Luo Yi said. "My shadows can handle this."The two gate guards raised their eyebrows. "Your shadows?" they repeated in unison."Yes," Luo Yi replied. "Last night, I created seven shadows in Xuanyan Forest. Right now, one of my shadows is confronting that black-path cultivator.""A mere shadow can't possibly be enough to defeat a black-path cultivator," one of the gate guards said. "We'll report this matter to the City Lord anyway.""We'll take our leave!"The two gate guards immediately departed without waiting for Luo Yi's response, but the young man remained calm as he watched them leave.Chen Lao turned toward the young man standing beside him. "Are you certain your shadows alone can defeat that black-path cultivator?"Luo Yi turned to him c

After sending his shadow to watch over Yin Yao's body, Luo Yi got off the bed and left the room. He left Yun Xiao, who was still cultivating.Luo Yi had received news that Chen Jia's parents would arrive this afternoon.Earlier, Chen Lao had also asked Luo Yi and Yun Xiao to stay at his residence that night because Chen Jia's parents had sent word that they wanted to meet the saviors of their son.Luo Yi gladly agreed because his task here was not yet finished.Although the task of healing Chen Jia had been completed, he still had to watch over and protect Yin Yao's body because his soul was still inside the illusion world.He could predict that the demon who had once saved Yin Yao would come to kill the man, because once Yin Yao emerged from his illusion world, he would no longer be a black-path cultivator.If the Light Shadow he had sent saw that demon arrive, it would seal it at that very moment.When Chen Jia saw Luo Yi about to leave through the living room door, he asked, "Broth

"How old are you, Young Master Xiao?" Chen Kai asked."I'm fourteen years old, Uncle," Yun Xiao replied.Chen Kai studied Yun Xiao's face carefully, trying to find any sign of deception, but he found none.He then turned to Luo Yi and asked, "Then how old are you, Young Master Luo?""I'm seventeen years old, Uncle," Luo Yi answered calmly.Hearing Luo Yi reply so calmly, Chen Kai also found it difficult to detect any sign of dishonesty in the young man. Even so, he still found their answers hard to believe.Chen Kai could sense the aura of the Eighth Stage of the High Realm from Yun Xiao, yet he couldn't sense even the slightest cultivation aura from Luo Yi.He looked back at Yun Xiao and asked, "How did you break through to the Eighth Stage of the High Realm at such a young age?""What?!" Chen Lao and Tang Yue exclaimed in unison, shocked. After all, a realm that high possessed strength comparable to a kingdom's general. "The Eighth Stage of the High Realm?!"Chen Kai nodded before t

A cold breeze drifted across the summit of Mount Baihe. A thin veil of mist hung among the ancient trees. At the mountaintop, the gigantic White Crane slowly rose to its feet. Its sharp eyes glared at Zhang Hao with undisguised hatred.Meanwhile, two hundred meters away, Yun Xiao clutched his chest, struggling to endure the pain caused by the ferocious aura radiating from the hundred-thousand-year beast. Every word spoken by that hundred-thousand-year beast was like a needle piercing his heart and lungs. His breathing became labored. His body felt unbearably heavy, making it difficult to move. Having only reached the Initial Stage of the Advanced Realm, he naturally could not withstand such an overwhelming aura.'I have to get even farther away. The aura of this Hundred Thousand Year White Crane is truly terrifying,' Yun Xiao thought as he forced himself to move despite staggering. With every step he took away from it, the pain caused by the overwhelming aura gradually lessened.On th

Zhang Hao tightened his grip around the crystal. "Don't even dream about it!"Suddenly, his body disappeared after saying that.The three black-robed men surrounding Zhang Hao widened their eyes before looking around in every direction."There he is!" One of them pointed toward Zhang Hao, who had now appeared beside Yun Xiao. "Kill him before his strength recovers!"The three men charged toward Zhang Hao and Yun Xiao, drawing their respective weapons—a sword, a large scythe, and a spear infused with black Qi."Master!" Yun Xiao was about to leap away, but Zhang Hao stopped him, signaling him to remain calm.However, when they were only seven zhang away ....BOOM!"Aaaaa!"The three black-robed men were blasted twenty zhang backward. Two of them managed to drive their spear and scythe into the ground to slow themselves down, while the other crashed into the mountain ground and rolled uncontrollably until he slammed into a rock.The black-robed man carrying the large scythe spat to the
