13: The enemy has appeared, lurking a hidden danger.

After a while, An Yuyao's heart completely calmed down.

She suddenly felt a bit ashamed.

As a Senior Sister, it was truly improper for her to show such a weak side in front of her Junior Brother.

However, it was thanks to Junior Brother Su Yun's comfort.

She had to thank him properly!

Thinking of this, An Yuyao's pale gold eyes looked at Su Yun, and she said gratefully:

"Thank you, Junior Brother Su Yun!"

Su Yun didn't mind and said directly:

"It's nothing, Senior Sister An. Let's head back to Cangfeng City quickly. I suspect those people from the Demon Sect are inside the city."

"Alright, let's go now. We must avenge them!"

An Yuyao nodded and said with certainty.

Immediately after, she took out a spirit sword from her Storage Ring and flew toward Cangfeng City on it.

Seeing this, Su Yun also followed on his sword... Outside Cangfeng City, Su Yun spotted a large number of Blood Fiend Beasts surrounding the city from the air.

A large number of residents stood outside the city gates, frozen with fear.

Several Blood Fiend Beasts rushed forward and pounced on the residents, their screams rising one after another.

Black Formation Patterns appeared on the ground, and strands of black Qi were absorbed by them.

"Oh no, they're collecting fear!"

After all, An Yuyao was the Young Miss of the An Family and had read many ancient texts.

According to the descriptions in those texts, some Demonic Cultivators would collect emotions to Cultivate.

And their targets were often large numbers of Mortals.

"Junior Brother Su Yun, let's go."

After saying that, An Yuyao flew her sword directly toward several Blood Fiend Beasts attacking the residents.

Hearing this, Su Yun followed closely behind.

Upon reaching the ground, he circulated his spiritual power, which surged from his fists. With a single punch, he flattened the head of a Blood Fiend Beast. Soon, the several beasts rushing toward the crowd were killed by their joint efforts.

"Everyone, leave quickly! We'll hold them off here!"

An Yuyao hurriedly shouted to the residents.

But strangely, despite the fear on their faces, not a single person ran away.

They remained indifferent to her words.

Sensing a faint demonic spiritual power on the residents, Su Yun said directly:

"Senior Sister An, these people are likely under a Demonic Cultivator's Spell, which is why they aren't moving."

"Damnable Demonic Cultivators, still hiding their heads and showing their tails."

An Yuyao said through gritted teeth.

At that moment, the Formation Patterns on the ground suddenly turned gray.

An Yuyao immediately felt her spiritual power flow become sluggish, and her combat strength plummeted.

"Hahaha, these hypocritical Righteous Path Cultivators actually walked right into the trap."

In the distance, a young man in black, standing on a black spirit sword, flew toward them.

His Behind also followed dozens of masked men in black.

"Dammit, this is a Spirit-Limiting Formation. It's actually a Double Formation."

An Yuyao felt the spiritual power in her body suppressed and difficult to circulate, and she immediately sensed that the situation was dire.

"Who are you? Why are you slaughtering Mortals here?"

"Who am I? This young master is You Jie, the son of a Demon Fiend Sect Elder.

It is an honor for these Mortals to help me Cultivate!"

"Little girl, you're quite pretty."

"This young master will give you a chance. Become my concubine, and I'll spare your life."

You Jie laughed wildly with triumph.

"Pah! Die, you vile Demonic Cultivator!"

Hearing You Jie's words, An Yuyao was instantly fuming with rage.

She took out several Medicinal Pills from her Storage Ring; after consuming them, the spiritual power in her body instantly broke through the Formation's obstacles.

However, she knew the effect of these pills was only temporary. Once the effect wore off, the Formation would suppress her spiritual power again.

"Junior Brother Su Yun, hide behind me.

The Demonic Cultivator opposite us is at least at the Golden Core Third Layer, and he has many subordinates. It's too dangerous for someone like you at the Foundation Establishment Stage to be here."

Having said that, she took out a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact-level Spirit Pearl from her Storage Ring.

As she injected her spiritual power into it, the Spirit Pearl emitted a dazzling golden light.

Then, waves of golden light shot out from the pearl, attacking the Demonic Cultivators opposite them.

"Humph, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."

"Mo Sha Whip!"

Seeing this, You Jie brought out a pitch-black whip and circulated his spiritual power.

The whip lashed out many streaks of black spiritual light, racing toward An Yuyao.

Su Yun saw An Yuyao blocking him, and he felt a bit moved.

Although they were fellow disciples, she still protected a Junior Brother she had just met even when she herself was in danger.

This showed that An Yuyao was kind-hearted and had a strong sense of responsibility.

However, he was no ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to be slaughtered at will.

Su Yun circulated various Cultivation Techniques, his entire body covered in pale red spiritual light, and charged directly at the enemies.

An Yuyao was startled to see Su Yun rush out like that.

But when she saw him fighting with ease among the Blood Fiend Beasts and the group of men in black, she relaxed and focused on her battle with the Golden Core Stage Demonic Cultivator before her.

Indeed, things were very easy on Su Yun's end.

Because the amount of spiritual power in his body was at least dozens of times more than others in the same Realm, the Formation's suppression wasn't very effective against him.

The men in black were generally around the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, with the highest being at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

Although they were numerous, with the support of Su Yun's Heaven-Defying Cultivation Techniques, even dozens more wouldn't be enough to handle him.

While Su Yun was fighting with ease, he was still secretly and vigilantly observing his surroundings.

From what he knew of An Yuyao's "Recent Turn of Events" column, the enemies weren't just the men in black and the Golden Core Demonic Cultivator before them; there was definitely an enemy at least at the Nascent Soul Realm hiding nearby.

Thinking of this, Su Yun sped up his movements.

With powerful spiritual power, astonishing strength, and rich combat experience, he quickly killed the dozen or so Foundation Establishment Stage men in black.

Seeing that all his subordinates were dead, the nonchalant expression on You Jie's face turned serious.

He immediately controlled the surrounding Blood Fiend Beasts to rush toward Su Yun.

An Yuyao's face showed surprise when she saw how valiant Su Yun was.

She instantly realized this was an opportunity.

So, she intensified her offensive. The golden light from the Spirit Pearl grew thicker, surging straight toward You Jie.

Her Aura climbed steadily. At the Golden Core First Layer, she erupted with powerful force, pushing the Golden Core Third Layer You Jie into a steady retreat.

Seeing that An Yuyao, who was at a lower Realm than himself, could actually suppress him, You Jie finally started to panic.

He hurriedly increased his spiritual power output, his black whip lashing out so fast it almost left afterimages.

The arcs from the whip and the golden light collided violently.

The two different types of spiritual power clashed intensely in the air, followed by a violent explosion.

Using the impact of the explosion, An Yuyao retreated to Su Yun's side.

By now, Su Yun had mostly cleared out the surrounding Blood Fiend Beasts.

"Dammit, dammit, dammit!"

You Jie no longer wore his previous confident expression.

His face was now distorted with rage, and he didn't dare to underestimate Su Yun and An Yuyao.

Since all his subordinates and the Blood Fiend Beasts he controlled were dead, that Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator opposite him definitely possessed Golden Core Stage combat power.

However, even if they defeated him, they wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.

"You don't actually think this is enough to defeat me, do you?"

You Jie said arrogantly.
