268: Easily resolved, the exposed protagonist

Ning Feng's eyes widened as he looked at the white-clothed youth who suddenly appeared in the distance in disbelief.

"Su Yun? Why is he here?"

"Could it be that he followed me here?"

"That's impossible!"

"I've hidden all the way in the Western Regions, yet he still managed to find me?"

A cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"Elder Yu, what should I do now?"

Elder Yu said in a solemn tone:

"Perhaps it's a coincidence. I instructed Chen Yan not to spread word of your identity. Outsiders only know your name and have no idea you're from the Central Domain."

"So, it's impossible for you to be exposed."

"Fenger, don't act rashly. Continue to hide here."

"Su Yun likely hasn't discovered you."

"I cannot control your body to fight right now, so we mustn't let him know you're here."

"Dammit! My chance to play the hero and save the beauty has been snatched away just like that!"

Ning Feng fumed for a moment before immediately ducking back behind the boulder.

Elder Yu exerted Soul power to help Ning Feng conceal his aura.

At this moment, Ning Feng's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists, watching helplessly as Su Yun approached Chu Ningyue.

His heart felt stifled, but there was nothing he could do... "I've watched quite a good show."

Su Yun flew in from the distance like a streak of light and said indifferently.

"Who are you?"

A Black-clothed Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage Level Two Realm looked at Su Yun warily.

"Isn't this place sealed off by a Formation?"

"How could someone still get in?"

"Young Master, save us!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Su Yun, Xiaodie's eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly cried out.

This Young Master's aura is so powerful.

Could he be a Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivator?

We're saved!

At this moment, Chu Ningyue just stared blankly at Su Yun's handsome figure, murmuring:

"Is this the 'hero saving the beauty' scenario from the storybooks?"

"Could he be my destined one?"

"To appear at such a perfect moment?"

"And this Young Master is just too handsome!"

Her pretty face instantly flushed red as her eyes remained fixed on Su Yun.

"Kid! Leave this place immediately. Do you want to die for interrupting our business?"

A Black-clothed Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Layer One Realm said in an unfriendly tone.

"Don't waste words with him, settle him quickly!"

"It'll be disastrous if we don't complete our mission!"

The other Black-clothed Cultivators swarmed forward.

Various colors of spiritual light flickered as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a ten-mile radius converged, unleashing Spells of various attributes.

The surrounding trees were instantly blasted into ash by these Spells.

Seeing the Black-clothed Cultivators besieging Su Yun, Chu Ningyue said anxiously:

"Young Master, be careful!"

"They are all Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivators!"

Su Yun remained silent and simply extended a finger.

"Heavenly Spirit Wind-Governing Art!"

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius converged.

A gentle breeze blew down from the sky, instantly transforming into a fierce Grey Astral Wind that swept toward the dozen or so Spirit Transformation Realm Black-clothed Cultivators with overwhelming force.

"What?"

"What Realm is this?"

"No!"

The Spells of the dozen or so Spirit Transformation Realm Black-clothed Cultivators were instantly swallowed by the Grey Astral Wind.

Then, the violent Grey Astral Wind blasted them directly into ash.

"Young Master, what is your name?"

"You're just too amazing!"

Chu Ningyue's eyes sparkled with stars. She stepped forward with a face full of admiration and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.

Meanwhile, Su Yun looked Chu Ningyue over and checked her life script:

...[Name: Chu Ningyue]

[Age: 19]

[Realm: Nascent Soul Fifth Layer]

[Physique: Heavenly Sound Profound Physique (Born with a mastery of musical rhythm, excels at using musical rhythm for attacks. Awakened individuals possess extremely fast cultivation speed, exceptionally high Comprehension Ability, and unusually powerful perception capabilities.)]

[Luck Rank: Purple]

[Background: Daughter of the Treasure Pavilion's Chief Pavilion Master]

[Role: female protagonist]

[Recent Turning Point: None]

[Opportunity: None]

...Su Yun spoke directly:

"My name is Su Yun. How should I address you, Miss?"

"Young Master Su, I'm called Chu Ningyue!"

"Thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you well!"

Chu Ningyue patted her chest and said with certainty.

"By the way, Young Master Su, what did you mean when you said you watched a good show?"

Chu Ningyue blinked and asked curiously, suddenly remembering what Su Yun had said when he first appeared.

Su Yun smiled faintly:

"Miss Chu, have you noticed that someone else is hiding in the shadows?"

"There's someone else?"

Chu Ningyue and Xiaodie immediately became alert and looked around.

At this moment, Ning Feng, hiding behind the boulder, felt his heart tighten, and his face turned pale.

"Could Su Yun have discovered me?"

"Just how strong is he now?"

"How can he be so terrifying!"

He realized that when he fought Su Yun before, he was only slightly inferior.

But now, Su Yun's strength was unfathomable.

"Fenger, don't worry, you won't be discovered."

"As for Su Yun's strength, it's estimated to have reached above the Soul Emergence Realm."

Elder Yu said in a heavy voice.

He also hadn't expected that in just over two months, Su Yun's strength would have progressed so much.

It seemed that Ning Feng's hope for revenge was likely a distant dream.

"Alright."

Ning Feng lay prone behind the boulder, not daring to even breathe loudly.

He was terrified of being discovered.

At this moment, Chu Ningyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she speculated:

"Could it be someone related to those Spirit Transformation Realm Black-clothed Cultivators who just attacked us?"

Su Yun gave a mysterious smile and said:

"We'll know once we take a look."

Immediately after, he casually released a bolt of Nine Heavens Thunder that instantly shattered the boulder in front of Ning Feng.

The powerful Nine Heavens Thunder directly broke Ning Feng's breath concealment method.

"Is that Ning Feng?"

Although they had only met once, Chu Ningyue still remembered this plain-looking youth.

A few hours ago, her maid Xiaodie had only said one thing, and a dark expression had appeared on Ning Feng's face; he clearly wasn't an honorable man.

Could this matter be related to him?

Otherwise, why would he be hiding behind a rock?

Furthermore, if it had nothing to do with him, why didn't those Black-clothed Cultivators attack Ning Feng?

Although Ning Feng's breath concealment method was profound, he was only at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer Realm.

Those Black-clothed Cultivators shouldn't have failed to notice Ning Feng just now, right?

At this moment, Ning Feng was dumbfounded.

He didn't know what to do.

"Fenger, I will use a secret technique to help you leave this place!"

Elder Yu gritted his teeth. The Soul power he had recently recovered was mostly depleted again as he performed a powerful secret technique.

A flash of light swept over Ning Feng's body, and he immediately vanished from the spot.

"He fled? It seems it really was related to Ning Feng."

Chu Ningyue murmured.

Su Yun, however, had guessed the reason for Ning Feng's escape.

After all, Ning Feng's Revered Master didn't have much combat strength left; if he didn't run, he would just be waiting for Su Yun to finish him off.

However, he had intentionally held back just now to expose Ning Feng.

Furthermore, although Ning Feng had escaped, the Opportunity of the Yanguang Mountain mysterious Immortal Cave on Ning Feng's life script hadn't changed.

When the time came, he only needed to follow Ning Feng to find that mysterious Immortal Cave.

It wouldn't be too late to deal with Ning Feng once the mysterious Immortal Cave was found.

"Young Master Su, I am the daughter of the Treasure Pavilion's Chief Pavilion Master. Since you saved me this time, I must thank you properly!"

"If you aren't in a hurry, please come to the Treasure Pavilion as a guest."

Chu Ningyue gave a playful smile and spoke in a gentle tone.

Having met her destined one, Su Yun, this time, she definitely had to get along with him!
