Several ice pikes storming toward a twenty meters giant lizard, turning its body into pieces. Su Xiao retracted her hand and turned to Lin Xinyao with a solemn expression. "Young Miss, I'm afraid we can't go further."
Lin Xinyao obviously understood this, but she trusted Mumu didn't lie to her. She communicated with Mumu briefly and said to Su Xiao. "Mumu said that we need to reach at least a hundred meters from the valley. She has a way to deal with those profound beasts."
Su Xiao went silent and turned around, moving forward after taking a deep breath.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian's brows always knitted together as he felt uneasy within his heart. His instinct told him there was something he was unaware of. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Xinyao noticed this and asked. "What's wrong?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I don't know. I feel uneasy… There should be something we have overlooked."
Lin Xinyao frowned and spread her Spiritual Sense out. However, she found nothing in the end and thought Yun Lintian was probably overthinking.
Suddenly, Yun Lintian paused his step and turned to look at the distance behind him. His pupils turned golden, and he immediately saw two human figures with a weird energy shield blocking them. At this moment, he realized where was the source of uneasiness came from. It turned out he was being watched for all this time.
Yun Lintian didn't react but shook his head as though he was overthinking and followed Lin Xinyao. His mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out who these two were… Lei Jun? It should be him. He is probably using some artifacts to conceal his presence. Yun Lintian thought.
Because he hadn't reached the Spirit Profound Real yet, Yun Lintian could not directly transmit his sound to Lin Xinyao's mind. He took out a small piece of paper and secretly wrote something on it before handing it to Mumu.
Mumu was smart enough to understand Yun Lintian's intention. It stretched its body lazily and jumped onto Lin Xinyao's shoulder before handing the paper to her.
Lin Xinyao was puzzled slightly upon receiving the paper. Her expression abruptly changed when she read the content of the paper.
"Sister Su, Lei Jun is following us. He using a conceal artifact." Lin Xinyao sent a sound transmission to Su Xiao.
Su Xiao's movement paused for a second before moving forward as though she didn't know anything. She replied Lin Xinyao via sound transmission. "Young Miss, his target should be this young man. Are you sure you want to protect him?"
Lin Xinyao's brows twitched in dissatisfaction as she responded. "Sister Su, I know you have an opinion on him. However, it is because you don't know him well enough. Let me say this, he is my benefactor. He saved my life before. Without him, I would die a long time ago."
Astonishment appeared on Su Xiao's face. She didn't expect this seemingly ordinary boy would be this amazing. Now, she understood why Lin Xinyao was so polite to him. Thinking of this, the prejudice against Yun Lintian in her heart had disappeared entirely.
"I understood, Young Miss. It's my fault." Su Xiao replied.
"Do you have a way to get rid of Lei Jun?" Lin Xinyao asked.
"I am confident of getting rid of his guard, but this will harm the relationship between our palace and Divine Thunder Palace. Are you sure to do this, Young Miss?" Su Xiao responded. As one of Han Bingling's trusted disciples, her talent was naturally high. Even if she was facing the peak of Ruler Profound Realm like Lei Jun's bodyguard, she was confident of finishing him within five minutes.
While both of them were communicating with each other, Yun Lintian was thinking of a way to escape from this predicament. He didn't want to put his life in other's hands.
Yun Lintian observed the surroundings as he was pondering. When his gaze landed on the gigantic python in the faraway distance, a bold idea flashed across his mind. A cold grin appeared on Yun Lintian's lips before he rushed toward the python without hesitation.
Yun Lintian's sudden movement made Lin Xinyao, Su Xiao, as well as Lei Jun stunned.
"Did he discover me?… Impossible!" Lei Jun, who was hiding behind the conceal artifact, said to himself. He thought for a second and decided to chase after Yun Lintian. After all, this person had too many secrets. He couldn't let him go just like that.
"Young Miss, he…." Su Xiao turned to Lin Xinyao and did not know what to say.
Under the veil, Lin Xinyao's brows creased together while trying to understand Yun Lintian's action.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Su Xiao perceived an energy fluctuation in the distance. She didn't hesitate to send several ice pikes in that direction.
Lei Jun saw the ice pikes coming. He frowned slightly and glanced at his bodyguard. The latter understood and quickly created a lightning net to block the incoming ice pikes.
"Lei Song?" Su Xiao asked while looking at the middle-aged man behind the lightning net.
"Long time no see, Su Xiao. Your sense is still sharp as ever." Lei Jun's bodyguard, Lei Song, replied with a chuckle. His current duty was buying time for his young master as much as possible.
Su Xiao naturally saw through his plan. Her face turned cold as she said. "Where is your young master now?"
Lei Song smiled faintly and said nothing in return.
Lin Xinyao communicated with Mumu and then said to Su Xiao. "I'll leave him to you." Before Su Xiao could refute, Lin Xinyao said sternly. "This is my order."
Su Xiao lowered her head slightly and said. "Understood, Young Miss."
Lin Xinyao said nothing further and dashed toward Yun Lintian's direction.
Lei Song had no intention to stop Lin Xinyao. No matter how talented she was, he believed she couldn't harm Lei Jun in the slightest. Thus, he did not worry about Lei Jun's safety.
"Die!" Su Xiao didn't continue to converse further. She took a long purple sword out and pointed at Lei Song. As she shouted, a strong, freezing cold aura instantly rushed at Lei Song.
