This sudden intervention, by way of lightning-quick tactics, seizing the Mixed Elent Grass from Lu Tianrun's grasp, was naturally Yun Xiao. It was a maneuver he had long planned, and ultimately did not stray from his plan.
Earlier, when Lingwan was arguing with Lu Tianwen, Yun Xiao had already brought Lin Xuanhao to the outskirts, without knowing that the old man was actually Lu Tianrun's biological brother—the one who died at his hands.
As for acquiring another foe, Yun Xiao wasn't overly concerned. However, he knew that even if he showed up in person, snatching back the Mixed Elent Grass from Lu Tianwen would not be a simple task.
After all, this situation was different from earlier with Huashan Old Monster and his disciple. Lu Tianwen did not break the rules of Lianyun Mountain, so he couldn't use power to suppress others.
If Yun Xiao were to reveal himself and engage in a fight with Lu Tianwen, it would be unreasonable from their perspective. Furthermore, with Lu Tianwen backed by Spirit Fighting Comrce, his background was far beyond comparison with Huashan Old Monster, and Yun Xiao did not want to act recklessly.
Therefore, Yun Xiao acted decisively, first summoning the Dragon Taming Sword. He did not believe the Dragon Taming Sword alone could harm Lu Tianwen, so he personally struck, tapping the wrist acupuncture point of the old man and reclaiming the Mixed Elent Grass.
In an instant upon obtaining the Mixed Elent Grass, Yun Xiao sensed that it was a Heavenly Rank Low-Level Mixed Elent Grass, perfectly suitable for Lingwan. Determined, he resolved that under no circumstances would he hand it over this ti.
"Big brother, you're here!"
Lingwan was naturally the first to react, imdiately cheering. In his heart, his big brother was capable of anything. Just now, hadn't Yun Xiao casually intervened and retrieved the Mixed Elent Grass?
Lingwan would not bother pondering how precisely Yun Xiao calculated to retrieve the Mixed Elent Grass; he only knew that once his big brother appeared, all problems would be resolved smoothly.
As for the others, upon hearing Lingwan's cheer, they no longer doubted; indeed, the youth with skyrocketing fa on Tenglong Continent recently: Yun Xiao!
However, so with deeper thoughts, considering Yun Xiao's ability to grab an item from a strong expert of Floating Life Realm Peak, evidently contemplated another aspect: over the last two months, the youth demon's cultivation seed to have made substantial progress.
"Yun Xiao!"
With his hand still numb, Lu Tianwen—who had barely regained so composure—finally noticed the robust youth holding a Wooden Sword, and the two words were squeezed through grit teeth.
The two brothers of the Lu Clan in the Spirit Fighting Comrce, since their youth, exhibited exceptional talent. In truth, Lu Tianwen's cultivation talent surpassed that of Lu Tianrun by so margin.
The onlooking cultivators weren't wrong. Decades ago, Lu Tianwen forcibly attempted to cultivate a Heavenly Rank Interdiate ridian Technique, leading him into a perilous situation. Over the years, he has been in seclusion trying to suppress the powerful backlash.
Over ti, even so newly inducted elders of the Dou Comrce weren't aware of such a figure within the comrce, as ti tends to make people forget many things.
Consequently, those low-rank cultivators of Spirit Fighting Comrce knew of Vice President Lu Tianrun, who reached the Late Stage of Floating Life Realm, yet weren't aware of his even more formidable elder brother.
Yet, if not for certain turning points, Lu Tianwen might never have recovered from the backlash, for forcibly cultivating high-level ridian Techniques causes severe repercussions.
Fortunately, recently, a mysterious figure erged at the headquarters of Spirit Fighting Comrce, bringing sothing that rejuvenated Lu Tianwen, restoring his cultivation to the Peak of Floating Life Realm, and even faintly enhancing it.
Lu Tianwen wasn't just a strong expert of Floating Life Realm Peak, but genuinely a Heavenly Rank ridian Refining Master, with ridian refining skills no less than those of the elders in Lianyun Mountain.
However, upon regaining awareness, he received the devastating news of his brother's killing. At that ti, he was consud by agony, as the brothers had depended on each other for life for a century, becoming inseparable.
Learning that his brother Lu Tianrun died at the hands of a Lianyun Mountain youth nad Yun Xiao, Lu Tianwen was eager for revenge.
Coupled with certain orders from that existence, Lu Tianwen, taking advantage of the decade-opening ridian Refining Conference, hurried to Lianyun Mountain—only to unexpectedly encounter his sworn enemy at the trading fair.
"Now, the Mixed Elent Grass is in our hands. Are you sure you want to make the first move?"
Yun Xiao had no interest in Lu Tianwen's thoughts. He knew the other bore intense hatred towards him. Nonetheless, this is Lianyun Mountain; he felt no need to fear an outsider old man.
As Yun Xiao spoke loftily, Lingwan and the surrounding cultivators wore peculiar smiles upon their faces, for these words were strikingly similar to what Lu Tianwen had just said.
Lu Tianwen initially took hold of the Mixed Elent Grass, hoping to provoke Lingwan into action so he could "defensively counterattack" and thereby avenge his brutally slain brother in so asure.
The true nesis, Yun Xiao, suddenly appeared and, with just two moves, snatched back the Mixed Elent Grass. This left Lu Tianwen extrely frustrated, struggling to contain his rage.
Of course, Lu Tianwen didn't believe Yun Xiao's strength was truly above his own, even though this kid had already broken through to the middle stage of the Floating Life Realm. He knew he had just been caught off guard.
Regardless, Lu Tianwen was a super expert at the peak of the Floating Life Realm. At the Heavenly Rank level, each minor realm was worlds apart, and being from the Spirit Fighting Comrce, he rarely t his equal at the sa level.
At this mont, Lu Tianwen seed to have almost forgotten how his brother had died.
Even when at half-step Heavenly Rank, Yun Xiao could kill Lu Tianrun, who was at the late stage of the Floating Life Realm. Now, having reached the middle stage of the Floating Life Realm, he might still have a chance against soone like Lu Tianwen, a peak expert.
"Old man, you better think clearly; this is Lianyun Mountain. Do you still wish to attend the ridian Refining Conference!"
Ling Wan, who had been all angry just now, seed to have transford with this strong backing. Hearing his words, many of the onlookers seed lost in thought.
"Hold back, you must hold back!"
Compared to the onlookers, who had no stake in the matter, Lu Tianrun's chest heaved continuously, as if about to explode the next mont. After all, standing before him was the nesis who killed his sibling brother.
Yet, when he thought of the mission given by that existence, Lu Tianwen knew he absolutely must not fight Yun Xiao here. Otherwise, he might have no chance of participating in the ridian Refining Conference.
If Lu Tianwen was absolutely confident he could take down Yun Xiao in a few moves, perhaps he would abandon all scruples and avenge his brother first.
But now, feeling the aura of his opponent's middle-stage Floating Life Realm cultivation, Lu Tianwen had no confidence whatsoever. Once a big fight breaks out, attracting those prominent figures from Lianyun Mountain, his journey to the ridian Refining Conference would be over.
As Yun Xiao said, now that the Mixed Elent Grass had changed hands, it would be unreasonable for Lu Tianwen to forcefully make a move, which he understood very well.
"Hmph, we'll see!"
Suppressing the fury in his heart, Lu Tianwen ultimately did not act. Hearing his cold snort, he disappeared among the crowd without looking back.
Such a scene left the onlookers sowhat regretful and disappointed. They originally thought they could witness a grand spectacle, but it turned out that the seemingly fierce Lu Tianwen retreated first.
"Tsk, tsk, Yun Xiao now is no longer soone those Heavenly Rank experts can casually handle!"
Not far away, a young figure stood calmly. It was none other than Nie Xiaosheng, the first genius of the Shenxiao Sect. As the top candidate for the next Sect Leader, how could he miss such an event as the ridian Refining Conference?
Back when he first t Yun Xiao in the Xuanyin Hall, Nie Xiaosheng's strength vaguely surpassed his. But since that venture to Xuanyin Cave, Nie Xiaosheng realized he would eventually be left far behind by Yun Xiao.
Sure enough, what happened later made this pride of the Shenxiao Sect feel the gap between himself and Yun Xiao growing ever larger, until he couldn't even see the latter's shadow.
Now, Yun Xiao had broken through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, while Nie Xiaosheng was still just an early-stage Earth Bending realm genius. He had reason to believe that he might not even withstand Yun Xiao's aura.
So cultivators who had previously interacted with Yun Xiao had similar thoughts. However, Yun Xiao no longer cared much about these people.
"Hey, lucky you, you actually found a low-level Heavenly Rank Mixed Elent Grass!"
Yun Xiao no longer paid attention to the dejectedly leaving Lu Tianwen. Turning to Ling Wan, he remarked with emotion. However, he did not hand the Mixed Elent Grass to Ling Wan but instead stored it directly in his Waist Storage.
Ling Wan had no objections to this. He knew that Mixed Elent Grass reaching the Heavenly Rank could not be taken directly. Moreover, the Mixed Elent Grass he had taken before was completely absorbed under Yun Xiao's techniques.
Yun Xiao intended to use his low-level Heavenly Rank ridian Refining Technique to refine the Mixed Elent Grass as the main ingredient, supplented by other Heavenly Rank dicinal materials, into an elixir. That would undoubtedly be more effective for Ling Wan's Mixed Elent One Qi Body.
"Xuan Hao, co over!"
After storing the Mixed Elent Grass, Yun Xiao gestured to a certain place, and then Lin Xuanhao's figure slowly walked over, looking at the chubby kid beside Yun Xiao with curious eyes. But he already seed to realize who this was.
