"Hmph. Next ti, don’t foolishly get scared by others. Where is the deanor of a martial cultivator?" After laughing for several breaths, Yuan ngyuan turned her head and looked at Yuan Qi, snorting in dissatisfaction.
People say that a bodyguard’s duty is to protect you, charging forward first when danger arises.
But Yuan Qi, when faced with danger, first shrinks away like a turtle and then advises her to do the sa.
What kind of protection is that?!
Yuan ngyuan was genuinely displeased with Yuan Qi.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Yuan Qi’s face grew redder with sha and anger, but he could only hold it in, yet his resentnt towards Su Chen reached its ultimate peak.
"Thank you, Su Chen." Yuan ngyuan looked at Su Chen again, smiling: "What you said about Qiu Shuang was really satisfying!!! She was already ugly! You were absolutely right!"
Su Chen rubbed his nose, feeling sowhat helpless.
He was slightly touched that this young lady of the Yuan Family would actually stand up for him, sothing he hadn’t expected.
Previously, Su Chen had insulted Qiu Shuang simply because she had involved him, resulting in a retort from him, and he was prepared for a confrontation with Qiu Shuang’s group.
Though the elder in Qiu Shuang’s group was quite powerful and Su Chen couldn’t match him, he was confident he could escape alive by leveraging Jiuyou’s strength.
Therefore, he didn’t need to hold back; he could simply erupt.
The honest truth is, he hadn’t expected nor hoped for Yuan ngyuan to stand up for him.
After all, he was not truly a servant or protector of Yuan ngyuan, nor was he a mber of the Yuan Family, and his apparent realm seed low, offering little value. It didn’t seem worth the risk, yet this young lady did just that.
A little naive but endearingly so.
"Alright, let’s find a hotel, eat sothing, rest a bit, then continue our journey. We’re nearing the Thunder Spirit Ruins." Yuan ngyuan spoke, her mood seemingly quite good.

One day later.
In a dense forest.
Yuan ngyuan sat inside a palanquin carried by four maids, accompanied by Yuan Qi, Yuan Ding, Old Yuan, and Su Chen.
The group’s pace was swift.
They were getting very close to the Thunder Spirit Ruins, and as they approached, they encountered more and more martial cultivators.
Originally, due to the Azure Underworld Sect’s bounty, many martial cultivators had entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains to search for Su Chen. After news of the Thunder Spirit Ruins spread, countless martial cultivators headed there.
Soon.
They arrived!!!
A sea of people.
Surrounding a hilltop.
Atop the hill, barren and rocky with a strange pale purple hue.
At the edge of the barren hill was a gate, a stone gate, surrounded by a layer of deep purple light!
The light was like a protective barrier, completely encasing the stone gate, and at tis, there were purple lightning fluctuations on the barrier, emitting continuous low-pitched rumbling sounds.
Looking from afar, among the sea of people, loose cultivators made up the majority of the crowd, while the rest were mbers of various major forces.
"Xuu Family’s Xuu Xiao, Xing Family’s Xing Gu, Feng Family’s Feng Liu, Great Slayer Sect’s Sima Ling, Pang Family’s Pang Qian, and Qiu Family’s Qiu Shuang!" Inside the palanquin, Yuan ngyuan suddenly spoke, her voice filled with so gravity: "Many have co!"
Those nad by Yuan ngyuan were all mbers of first-order forces.
"Miss, be careful. Regardless of whether we can obtain the Thunder Spirit, safety is the priority." Old Yuan’s expression was also quite serious.
Su Chen glanced around from afar.
Those from the first-order forces indeed ca in impressive formations.
The strength of Xuu Xiao, Xing Gu, Feng Liu, Sima Ling, Pang Qian, and Qiu Shuang was formidable, ranging from the Fifth Level to the Eighth Layer Realm of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain.
None were weaker than Su Heng.
"ngyuan has arrived..." At the next mont, a man with a tall stature, like a pine tree, handso features, and a smiling face that felt like a spring breeze, holding a tal chain in his right hand, spoke with a smile.
Instantly.
Yuan ngyuan and her group beca the center of attention.
Many martial cultivators from second and third-level forces, as well as loose cultivators, respectfully greeted them.
Su Chen was also a focal point, mainly due to his bizarre attire of a black robe that nearly enveloped him completely, even half-covering his face, giving a cold and mysterious vibe.
Is he trying to avoid being seen?
Yet no one considered Su Chen to be the Su Chen sought by the Azure Underworld Sect’s bounty. After all, people thought that if that Su Chen had any sense, he wouldn’t dare join this chaos!
Wouldn’t that be courting death?
One should be hiding in a remote, unpopulated place.
"Young Master Xuu." Yuan ngyuan descended from the palanquin, her beauty overwhelming the scene, her features truly outstanding.
"Hmph!" Qiu Shuang snorted, extrely displeased, casting another glance at Su Chen discreetly, her eyes filled with almost uncontainable malice.
"ngyuan, once we’re inside the Thunder Spirit Ruins, let’s go together." Xuu Xiao spoke again, showing clear signs of admiration for Yuan ngyuan.
"Let’s see when the ti cos." Yuan ngyuan neither accepted nor rejected his offer.
Xuu Xiao didn’t get angry, seemingly familiar with Yuan ngyuan’s temperant.
Su Chen glanced at Xuu Xiao again; Xuu Xiao was quite strong, having reached the Early Stage of the Eighth Layer Realm in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, making him one of the strongest among those present, aside from a few silent elders like Old Yuan.
"Su Chen, don’t speak rashly going forward, especially don’t provoke Xuu Xiao." Yuan ngyuan unexpectedly moved closer to Su Chen, speaking: "Xuu Xiao ranks sixth on the List of Exceptional People. His strength is formidable."
"List of Exceptional People?" Su Chen didn’t have a Lingji Token, so he naturally didn’t know about the List of Exceptional People.
"Hm?" Yuan ngyuan gave Su Chen a strange look; was there really soone who didn’t know about the List of Exceptional People? But seeing Su Chen’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was pretending; he really didn’t know.
"Here." Yuan ngyuan thought for a mont and handed Su Chen a Lingji Token. The Lingji Token wasn’t cheap, but for Yuan ngyuan, it was just a trivial item, giving one to Su Chen was nothing.
Su Chen accepted the Lingji Token.
The Lingji Token was like a jade pendant, but it was extrely special, containing fluctuating spiritual sense.
"You can check with your divine soul," Yuan ngyuan advised.
Su Chen nodded, promptly checking with his divine soul, imdiately seeing several ssages related to the bounty on him!
And then the List of Exceptional People, among other things.
"Lingji Tokens are the ans of information dissemination across War Ancient Sky. They co from Lingji Pavilion. With a Lingji Token, you can receive any ssage released by Lingji Pavilion imdiately."
"Thank you!" Su Chen expressed sincerely; the Lingji Token was undoubtedly of great importance to him.
