109: Chapter 109 Trouble Strikes, Monster Tide

The second day.

When Hun Tiandi woke from his deep sleep on the bamboo bed, he looked at the empty bamboo hut.

He rubbed his handsome, delicate face a few times, then stood up and splashed his face with cold water to dispel the lingering sleepiness.

He walked slowly out of the hut.

"You're awake. Let's eat!" Suddenly, an ethereal voice fell by his ear, coming from his left.

Turning his head, Hun Tiandi looked at Hao Meili, who was carrying a bamboo basket and picking some medicinal herbs, and revealed a faint smile.

He flipped his hand and took out five storage rings from his blue storage ring—one intermediate grade and four low-grade ones.

These storage rings were all generously given by Hun Tiandi's good friends in Central Plains; he couldn't refuse them even if he wanted to...

After he had tried to refuse, they had even threatened suicide to force him to accept them, so he had no choice but to...

He smiled and said: "Consider these a parting gift for you. Having them will make traveling outside more convenient."

Hao Meili played with the storage rings in her palm and smiled slightly. Clearly, she knew how precious these items were and glanced at the wealthy Hun Tiandi.

She didn't refuse. She put them on her fingers and placed the herbs from the bamboo basket and her personal belongings, such as the Hundred Poisons Demon Manual, inside.

"Do you need to prepare some medicinal herbs?" Hao Meili asked, looking up.

"I'm all set!" Hun Tiandi reached out and shook his finger, chuckling.

Her beautiful eyes stared at the smug youth, and she said no more.

"Let's go, we're heading out!" Hao Meili laughed softly, then walked toward an inconspicuous corner.

Looking back at this mysterious valley, he sighed softly and turned to leave.

Half a day later, the man and woman finally walked out of the dark cave into a lush forest. Standing on the mountaintop, he said to the silver-white robed girl beside him.

"Hao Meili, let's part ways here. We'll meet again someday!"

"Take care!"

Her beautiful eyes watched the spirited Hun Tiandi, her emotions tinged with a hint of reluctance. After they waved goodbye, neither said more.

He stomped his feet hard against the ground, and his entire body shot away like a green lightning bolt.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the jungle. Hao Meili stared in the direction of Hun Tiandi's departure, and only after his figure had completely vanished did she slowly exhale.

Who knew when they would meet again after this parting? Perhaps by the time they met again, both of their opportunities would be vastly different...

Afterward, Hao Meili's figure also disappeared from the mountaintop.

A moment later, in the forest in the distance, Hun Tiandi reappeared, a hint of loneliness appearing on his delicate face.

Watching the direction where her beautiful figure had disappeared, he gradually calmed his emotions.

Only then did he turn and dash out of the jungle.

Three days later, Hun Tiandi had walked out of the jungle and arrived at Chihuo City. Looking at the bustling crowd at the city gate, he returned to the lively city.

A feeling of living in a different world arose in his heart.

Afterward, he handed over a few gold coins and strolled into the city. Entering a restaurant, Hun Tiandi glanced around and happened to run into an acquaintance.

"Fairy Hanbing, Senior Sister Liu Hanbing."

Hun Tiandi was somewhat surprised to run into Senior Sister Liu Hanbing here. He smiled slightly and stepped forward.

"Senior Sister Liu, long time no see!" Hun Tiandi revealed a gentle smile.

"Junior Brother Yun?" Senior Sister Liu Hanbing was very surprised, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"Junior Brother Yun, half a year ago in Tianbei City, it was rumored that you had offended Burning Flame Valley, Pill Tower, Starfall Pavilion, and many other forces. During the pursuit, for some reason, all the experts perished..."

"Because it involved top forces in Central Plains, it even drew out quite a few big shots. During this time, Starfall Pavilion found out from somewhere that you had joined Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and is pressuring the Pavilion Master..."

Senior Sister Liu Hanbing stared at Hun Tiandi with a solemn expression, speaking calmly about the news from the past half year.

"Oh? I didn't know about this, Senior Sister. After I attended the auction, Tianbei City suddenly became chaotic, attracting many people to join the commotion."

"I followed along, but during the battle outside the city, the terrifying energy exchange blew me away into a river, and I fell unconscious..."

"Besides, with my strength, are those big shots people I could provoke?"

Hun Tiandi said sincerely, his delicate face showing no trace of anything amiss.

"That's true. Senior Brother was also there at the time. Around the terrifying deep crater, he discovered the destructive energy of a tian quan sword Talisman and has already reported it to the Pavilion Master..."

Senior Sister Liu Hanbing said again.

"Jian Wuchen?" Hun Tiandi frowned. He had always maintained caution regarding this Senior Brother and was unwilling to have more contact with him, at least until he had grown stronger.

"Senior Sister, why did you come to Chihuo City?" Hun Tiandi inadvertently changed the subject.

"Sigh, yesterday someone near Chihuo City supposedly saw Tianxuan and his servant!"

Senior Sister Liu Hanbing immediately perked up. If the information was true, whether it was discovering the information or bringing back the body, it could be exchanged for cultivation techniques and fourth-grade medicinal pills.

Hearing this news, Hun Tiandi frowned, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Once the information was true, it would definitely trigger a struggle among the major forces, and a slaughter would be unavoidable by then.

"Let's go!" Senior Sister Liu Hanbing said.

"Hmm!" Hun Tiandi nodded.

A day later, Hun Tiandi and Senior Sister Liu Hanbing traveled a thousand miles. On the official road, they saw people in twos and threes.

"Junior Brother Yun, let's go into the mountains!" Senior Sister Liu Hanbing said.

The two ran directly toward the deep mountains. Senior Sister Liu Hanbing said: "The people tracking Tianxuan have all entered the mountains. We should follow them too. Wherever there are people, we go there?"

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. After rushing for half a day, they finally discovered fighting in the distance, with terrifying energy fluctuations destroying mountains and seas.

Senior Sister Liu Hanbing was extremely fast, rushing toward the place of slaughter. She even secretly noticed that Junior Brother Yun's speed was not inferior to hers.

It seemed that after this half-year of training outside, his strength had greatly increased.

From afar, Hun Tiandi could hear the roar of battle, the power of which made him feel alarmed even from a great distance.

The closer they got, the louder the sounds became; clearly, the battle was very intense.

Boom...

With a huge sound, Hun Tiandi recognized it as a massive collision.

"Go!" An anxious and tragic voice rang out.

Senior Sister Liu Hanbing frowned, increased her speed, and ran over quickly, with Hun Tiandi following closely behind.

Soon, they saw the scene in the distance. In a huge valley, countless broken stones were scattered. In the middle was the Senior Brother of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Jian Wuchen.

Standing behind him were quite a few people, and fighting against Jian Wuchen was a middle-aged man in a black robe.

The surging energy on the old man surged as he hovered in mid-air, holding a thick, heavy saber in his hand. One man with one saber blocked a large number of people.

The old man looked ferocious as he blocked the path forward, and many corpses lay on the ground, having already lost their life force.

Jian Wuchen was fighting the black-robed old man.

"Move aside!" Jian Wuchen said coldly.

"Hmph, wanting to hunt down the Young Master? Keep dreaming! He has already escaped, so give up!" The black-robed old man laughed.

"Die!" Hearing this, Jian Wuchen's voice was filled with cold, chilling killing intent.

The next moment, Jian Wuchen gripped the golden longsword at his waist, and with a strange posture, gathered strength to draw his sword.

Clang!

With the sound of a longsword being unsheathed, Hun Tiandi, who had just arrived, saw a huge bolt of lightning burst forth before his eyes, blooming with immeasurable light, leaving his vision completely white.

In the moment he closed his eyes, 'Clang'—another sound of a sword being sheathed rang out.

When Hun Tiandi regained his vision, he saw Jian Wuchen sheathing his sword. A bloodstain appeared on the brow of the black-robed old man in front of him, and he was split in two.

The long saber broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

The black-robed old man died instantly.

The people around saw the old man die, and their eyes looked at Jian Wuchen, filled with fear.

Jian Wuchen, the direct disciple of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, was truly too strong.

"He mastered it? The Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique, he actually mastered it." Senior Sister Liu Hanbing beside him looked at Jian Wuchen in utter shock.
