“No matter what sort of tricks you use, you’re going to die today!” Fang Rui said with a vehement expression as his flexible sword pierced towards Xiao Yun.

The flexible sword tore through the air, giving off a chilling sword qi, and looked unblockable. The might that the sword gave off made Xiao Yun frown; he didn’t dare to block this strike. The gap between the early stage and late stage of the Innate realm was simply too vast and no matter what he did, he couldn’t bridge that gap.

“As long as the mountain remains, there’ll never be a shortage of firewood. As long as I survive, I’ll definitely get revenge!” Xiao Yun’s eyes flashed as he mustered up his spirit energy and sent it out around him. The Innate realm experts all froze, as if a demon G.o.d had descended.

During that instant, Xiao Yun leapt forwards as his sword drew a crescent in the air, piercing towards an Innate realm expert.

Chi!

The sword pierced through his heart, instantly killing him. Xiao Yun did not dare to stay any longer and immediately turned and ran. His spirit energy was still not strong enough, and could only affect those Innate realm experts for a few moments. In fact, his spirit energy barely had any effect on Fang Rui, who was at the late stage of the Innate realm. If he continued to fight, he would face grave danger.

“What sort of evil technique did he use?” Fang Rui quickly recovered and his eyes were aghast as he looked at his fallen clansman. It seemed that the man who the youth had killed just then had also been affected by this skill.

“What sort of energy was it that made our minds and spirits tremble just then?” The other two Innate realm experts looked at each other, feeling incredibly shocked. They couldn’t help but shiver – in just a few moments, two of their clansmen had fallen. What sort of supernatural powers did that youth possess?

It wasn’t just the Innate realm cultivators who were completely dumbfounded. The Body Tempering realm cultivators were simply terrified. They had watched the entire battle and could only stare as their clansmen had been slain. That youth had been like a G.o.d of killing – every time he attacked, he would take a life. The sudden turn of events cast a dark shadow over the Fang family’s people’s hearts.

“Chase after him! We have to kill this Xiao Yun, otherwise, it’ll be our Fang family that dies!” Fang Rui’s gaze darkened as he yelled.

“Yes!” The other two Innate realm experts also realised how serious the situation was.

The Fang family had destroyed their relationship with the Xiao family. If this youth was allowed to become truly powerful, how was it possible that he would spare them?

“In a while, you will all need to steady your minds so you won’t be taken by surprise by that brat again,” Fang Rui reminded.

The two Innate realm experts nodded. By now, none of them dared to be careless anymore. Shortly after, Fang Rui led the rest of the Fang family’s people to give chase after Xiao Yun.

“Dammit, those people are still chasing after me.” By now, Xiao Yun had left the mountain stream, but when he sent out his spirit sense, he found that the Fang family’s people were still chasing after him, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with bloodl.u.s.t. He couldn’t help but frown.

“Big brother, what should we do?” The Violet Vine had fully returned to his sea of consciousness. It blinked as its eyes became hazy, looking up with a face full of worry. “It looks like those bad guys won’t let us go!”

“Don’t worry, Lil Violet. Treat your wounds first.”  Seeing how pitiful the little fellow looked, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but feel an ache in his heart. Just as he spoke, Xiao Yun controlled the jade-green vital essence on the Martial Spirit’s leaves to flow down and cover the injured Violet Vine.

After being covered by the jade-green vital essence, the little fellow’s injuries started to heal at a rate that the eye could observe. This vital essence was the Martial Spirit’s essence of essences, and was filled with the aura of life. It contained immense healing properties.

At the same time, the Martial Spirit’s wounds quickly healed as well, returning to its original state.

“Big brother, Lil Violet’s better now.” After a while, the little fellow’s violet eyes once again shone with their l.u.s.tre, looking extremely cute. “Big brother, you’re so strong. In the future, Lil Violet won’t need to be afraid of being bullied by those bad guys anymore.”

“Mm.” Xiao Yun sent out his senses and felt quite surprised at how quickly Lil Violet and the Martial Spirit had recovered. It had not even been an hour and yet, they were fully healed. This Martial Spirit was simply amazing.

However, after detecting that the Fang family’s cultivators were still after them, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but frown. If it was a single Innate realm expert, he would be able to deal with them. However, Fang Rui was at the late stage of the Innate realm, and even Xiao Yun’s spirit energy wouldn’t be able to stop him for every long. Now that they were prepared, it would be even more difficult to deal with them.

“We need to find a safe place to hide. Once we’re strong enough, we’ll teach those bad guys a lesson. Do you have any ideas for how to escape from those people?” Xiao Yun asked. Right now, he could only hide, then take revenge when he was stronger.

This was especially so with the Spirit-Destroying Chapter. Xiao Yun was confident that if he could make his spirit energy stronger, he would be able to disrupt even the minds and spirits of those in the late stage of the Innate realm. When that happened, even if he couldn’t kill them in a single strike, he would be able to at least put up a fight against them.

“Lil Violet doesn’t have any ideas.” The little fellow shook its head and blinked as it started to earnestly think.

After a while, the little fellow’s eyes suddenly lit up as it said, “Lil Violet heard some demonic beasts at the Violet Cloud Stream say that there’s an ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace ahead. There’s a fire cave there, as well as many dangerous regions. Maybe we can hide there.”

“Ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace?” Xiao Yun’s eyes lit up. Previously, this little fellow had spoken about that place.

“It’s said that there are very intense flames there and that it’s extremely dangerous…” Lil Violet continued to describe the ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace.

After listening for a while, Xiao Yun gained some understanding of that place.

There was a Fire Vein there and the flames within the palace burned to the heavens. Normally, there were many fire-type demonic beasts there. However, because of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, all of them had run away.

“Alright, let’s go there then.” After hearing about the ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace, Xiao Yun felt confident enough to go there.

With the little fellow pointing the way, he made his way to the ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace.

Behind him, the Fang family’s cultivators continued to doggedly chase after him. Luckily, Xiao Yun had stepped into the Innate realm and was quite fast. Otherwise, he would have long since been caught by the Fang family’s people. However, even so, he was unable to shake them off.

After an entire day, Xiao Yun reached a place where the fire seemed to burn to the heavens, and there seemed to be some volcanic pits between the peaks. The burning hot air was extremely uncomfortable, and made Xiao Yun feel like his body was going to be incinerated.

“Where did that brat go?”

“Does he think he can hide from us?” The Fang family’s cultivators were determined to keep chasing him, but many people started to grumble. The temperature here was too hot, and was not something that the Body Tempering cultivators could withstand.

“So what if there are dangers here? Do you think you can sprout wings and fly away?” Fang Rui’s expression was extremely sinister. The longer this went on, the more capable the youth seemed, and the more Fang Rui was determined to pull up the gra.s.s from its roots to prevent any further problems.

A month ago, Xiao Yun had only just stepped into the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering, but now, he was an Innate realm expert. Very few people since the ancient times had shown such talent and Fang Rui didn’t dare to be careless. It was likely that if this youth was allowed to grow, he would become an unrivalled expert. When that happened, how would the Fang family survive? After all, a month ago, Fang Hao had completely ruined the Fang family’s relationship with this youth!

Fang Rui ordered the other two Innate realm cultivators to take some people to flank the youth from other sides.

Because Xiao Yun’s spirit energy was quite powerful and had knowledge of the geography from Lil Violet, he was able to avoid the Fang family’s cultivators. Not too long later, Xiao

The violet light filled the area, looking like a dense fog. If one looked closely, they would find that the violet gas was formed by Fire Essence Qi, and that the mountain ridges around it were completely bare. Only some special plants could grow there and from afar, the place looked like a sea of violet.

“Such dense Fire Essence Qi…” Xiao Yun could feel immense waves of energy coming from that place.

“That’s where the ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace is.” Lil Violet also sent out its spirit sense as it spoke in its childish voice. The little fellow’s violet eyes continuously blinked, looking quite curious about the outside world.

“Ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace!” Xiao Yun’s eyes flashed. After confirming there were no powerful demonic beasts nearby, he started to head towards that valley.

“It’s getting hotter and hotter.”

“Where is this?” The Fang family’s people continued to follow after Xiao Yun, and some of them were still complaining.

“What are you all yelling for? There are cliffs all around, so that brat going down there is simply seeking death. As long as we can trap him, we’ll be able to easily kill him,” Fang Rui coldly harrumphed as he motioned for the other 2 Innate realm experts to flank Xiao Yun.

The Fang family’s people moved forwards, wanting to immediately capture Xiao Yun. By now, Xiao Yun had entered the valley and was walking towards a cliff.

Beneath the cliff, some gullies connected together, within which were roaring flames that would occasionally flare up. The flames were slightly violet and as they danced, the air would slightly twist.

“What terrifying flames! I wonder if my Martial Spirit can withstand them.” Xiao Yun was quite shocked.

These flames were many times more intense than normal flames and seemed like they could incinerate everything. After walking forwards, Xiao Yun discovered a cave in front of him. The cave was not very big, and there was a bright violet light coming from within, as if there was a violet sun inside it.

“Is this the ancient cultivator’s inheritance palace?” Xiao Yun frowned. How could he go inside the cave? Those flames looked like they could obliterate anything!

“Haha, there’s nowhere left for you to run. I’ll see how you escape this time,” a voice called out, followed by wild laughter.

Within the valley, Fang Rui and the group of cultivators had caught up to Xiao Yun. In just a few moments, they had surrounded him.

Many of the gullies connected to the Fire Vein, where there were flames constantly roiling around, and the only path had been blocked off by Fang Rui and the others. Xiao Yun looked around him and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he really didn’t have anywhere to retreat to this time.

“Am I really domed?” Xiao Yun calmly looked at the savage Fang family’s cultivators as his eyes shone with chilling intent, giving off a sense of bloodl.u.s.t.

“What, are you going to give a final struggle?” Fang Rui and the other two Innate realm experts started to walk towards Xiao Yun, while the Body Tempering cultivators followed behind them.

Although their cultivations weren’t high enough, they could still obstruct the youth.

“If you want to kill me, then come.” Xiao Yun smiled as he turned and started to walk towards the cave spewing violet fire.

“This brat’s going to walk into that cave?”

“He’s not afraid of being burned to death?”

“Crazy! Xiao Yun’s gone crazy!” The Fang family’s people were completely stunned and couldn’t help but cry out.
