From the hillside, a young man rushed quickly, dressed in white, with long hair fluttering, and handsome facial features, and he was actually a personable son. The young man quickly came to the carcass of the beast, looked down at the badger beast that had been trampled under the feet of the beast before, raised his right hand, and the long knife standing in the snow flew into his hand, and with a flip of his wrist, the knife disappeared. The man in white turned his head and shouted to the hillside: "Sister Yulian, come and see, this badger beast is still alive!" As soon as the words fell, another figure fell on the hillside, also dressed in white, with black hair and a shawl, fair skin, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, apricot eyes and a small cherry mouth, and a bewitching figure, but she was a beautiful woman. The woman named Yulian landed beside the man, looked at the badger beast, squatted down, and held the badger beast in her hands. The badger beast's limbs drooped, its head drooping, and only its abdomen lay together, indicating that there was still life.

The Yulian girl held the badger beast in her hand, looked at the badger beast's weak breathing, couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and said to the man: "It's all your fault, I said let you make a move earlier, you don't do it, you have to wait until the little badger beast is injured before you move." What can I do now, it is injured, it must be very painful, there may be a little badger beast in its nest, without a mother, the little badger beast will definitely be sad!" The man looked at Yulian with a strange expression, and thought to himself, you know that the badger beast has a small one in the house, why don't you want to think about whether there is a little beast in the house of the murdered beast, the little beast may be waiting for its mother to bring food back, and now I have killed it, but I don't see how sad you are. But he thought about the badger beast. Alas, women! always sympathize with the weak. Thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, but he just reached out and took the badger beast from Yulian's hand, pressed his right hand on the badger beast's head, and a burst of white light flashed on his arm, and the badger beast's body slowly squirmed, and its limbs began to swing. When the man's right hand left the badger beast's head and put the badger beast on the ground, the badger beast was already able to stand, first stood on all fours, then sat up, raised its two front paws, raised its round head, sniffed the man's trouser legs with his nose, and then ran to Yulian's feet, also sniffed, and after raising his head and looking at the two of them, the badger beast turned around and slowly returned to his cave mouth, looked around, and suddenly went into the hole and disappeared.

When Yulian saw that the badger beast had recovered, her eyes were in tears, and she happily hugged the man's arm and said, "Brother Ling Xiao, you are so good, I know that you are the most loving! Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Sister Yulian, you didn't ask me to make a move, you are the most caring person!" As he spoke, he looked outside the valley, turned around and said, "Yulian, let's go back, there are more and more people entering the valley these days, and the people who come are not only people from the Holy Heaven Empire, but also people from the Eastern, Western and Northern Regions." It seems that the people from the Southern Regions are too far away, and the news came late, so they didn't have time to come. There are a lot of people coming, so let's be careful. ”

Yulian nodded and said, "Well, I listened to Brother Ling Xiao, let's go back." After saying that, the two of them ran along the hillside and towards the Cloud Piercing Peak. Soon, the two came to the place where the main peak of Chuanyun Peak and a mountain range meet, the height of this place is just one-third of Chuanyun Peak, there is still a high distance from the peak, and the higher they go, the steeper the mountain, the stronger the mountain wind, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even stand, let alone climb up. The place where the two of them arrived was at the southern foot of the Cloud Piercing Peak, just leeward to the sun, and the place where it met another mountain range formed a large platform, with a radius of six or seven square kilometers. At this time, many tents had been set up on this platform, and it seemed that there were hundreds, three or four or four or five tents gathered together, and it seemed that different groups were separated.

Ling Xiao and Yulian walked to the west side of the platform, where five white tents were gathered together, surrounded by four in a square, and the largest one in the middle. The two of them came to the tent in the middle without a pause, Yulian raised her hand and lifted the curtain hanging at the door of the tent, and walked in first, and Ling Xiao followed behind and walked in directly. The contents of the tent were rudimentary, except for a couch covered with thick animal furs, and a few tables in front of it. On the couch sat a man cross-legged, with black hair tightly combed behind his head and tied up with a band, without a single mess on his forehead. Two sword eyebrows, a pair of eagle eyes, a nose like a gall, and lips like a curved bow. Dressed in a white robe, without a trace of folds, the whole person sits there, giving people the feeling of a mountain towering. This person's face looks to be in his thirties, but the coercion is extremely powerful.

Yulian entered the tent, immediately restrained the active surname outside, obediently walked to the front of the case, leaned over to the man and said, "Daddy, we're back." Ling Xiao bowed and stepped aside. The man raised his eyes and glanced at Yulian and said, "Well, Yulian, you go back first, Daddy has something to say to your brother Ling Xiao." Yulian leaned over again, turned around and walked out, and when she walked past Ling Xiao, her eyes blinked, the corners of her mouth rose upward, and then she walked out of the tent quickly.

Ling Xiao waited for Yulian to get out of the tent, and returned to the front of the case: "Master, is there any news?" The man shook his head: "Still not, but today another group of people came, and the news from your junior brother said that it was from the Duan family of the royal family." Although we people in Yunxiao Mountain are not afraid of the authority of his royal family, after all, they are all here to seize the treasure this time. I went out to see the men who had come. There are two of them who are very tricky, one is Duan Yushan, the elder of their Duan family, this person is the elder brother of Emperor Duan Yuhai, he has not made a move for many years, but he didn't expect him to come this time, and it seems that he is deliberately hiding his strength, and he must be preparing to make a move at a critical moment to be taken by surprise. If I hadn't seen him in the early years, I'm afraid he had really been deceived. There is also a young man, this person seems to be named Xiao Rui, and he seems to have the strength of an intermediate grandmaster, but he gives me a very unusual feeling, which makes it difficult for me to understand. When you meet this Xiao Rui in the future, you must be careful, if you can make friends, it is the best, you can't make friends, and you don't want to be an enemy. Remember?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Master, the disciple remembers." But in his heart, Ling Xiao didn't think so, has his master been in the villa in the past few years and has become less courageous, how can he even be afraid of a young man, that Xiao Rui is only in the realm of an intermediate grandmaster, and now he is a person who will soon enter the realm of a senior grandmaster, not to mention that the master is the master of Yunxiao Mountain, what about the people who have already entered the realm of the divine master? The Lord of Yunxiao Mountain said again: "Don't take Yulian out again these days, stay here and pay more attention to the movement on the mountain, if there is news, we will act immediately, and we will never let others get the treasure." Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Master." The Lord of Yunxiao Mountain waved his hand: "You can also go back and rest, remember to pay more attention to the movement outside." Ling Xiao bowed his hand: "Master also rests early." With that, he took a few steps back to the door before turning around and lifting the curtain and walking out. The Cloud Sky Mountain Lord watched Ling Xiao leave, but he shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Xiao Rui and others had also set up tents on the westernmost side of the platform. Because they arrived relatively late, some of the terrain had already been occupied, so they had to camp here. Although it was relatively close to the tuyere, Duan Hui and the others were more well prepared and brought more equipment, so everyone didn't feel very cold. This time, there were a total of eight people brought by Duan Hui's brothers and sisters, three elders, and five were disciples of the family branches, these five people were mainly responsible for the diet and daily life of Duan Hui and the others, and when it was time to really seize the treasure, it was mainly Duan Hui and the three elders, and even Duan Fei had to be on the sidelines and couldn't interfere, because her strength was not enough. This time I came out purely to see the world. To Duan Hui and the others' surprise, they met Xiao Rui on the road, which increased the overall strength of this side and increased the probability of success in the treasure hunt. After arranging the accommodation, Duan Hui sent someone out to investigate, and learned that there were many families or sects now, there were hundreds, and each force had a master in charge. And there seem to be several forces still secretly forming alliances, ready to join forces to seize the treasure. As for the success of the treasure capture, it is unknown how to distribute the treasure. There are also some casual cultivators, who actually came to Cloud Piercing Peak alone, and they are also preparing to seize the treasure. Duan Hui knew that in fact, these talents were the most terrifying, because those who dared to come were all people with a high level of cultivation, these people were alone, their whereabouts were erratic, and they were the easiest to sneak attack. Even if any force gets the treasure, it has to guard against these people, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves worrying! Now everyone is waiting, because since the treasure showed signs, there has been no news until now. I only know that this treasure should be on this Cloud Piercing Peak, but no one knows where it is.

In the next few days, people arrived one after another, and the whole platform was already full, and some of the later people climbed up the mountain, preparing to camp on a high place, saying that it was for safety, and more so that if the treasure appeared on the top of the mountain, it would be closer. But in the end, because the mountain was too steep to gain a foothold, and there was still nowhere to pitch a tent, so I returned and set up a tent on the hillside.

Xiao Rui had a very fulfilling time during this time, and when he passed through the city on the way here, with the help of Xia Keming, he bought a forging furnace and many forging tools, and bought some forging materials. Xiao Rui now has three storage rings, so no matter how many things he brings, it is not a problem. After coming to Cloud Piercing Peak, Xiao Rui pulled Xia Keming and began to practice forging. The two of them set up a forge on the westernmost side of the platform, already near the edge of the platform, and clanged into it. To Xia Keming's surprise, Xiao Rui's forging technique was obviously just learned, but the forged things were of good quality. If it weren't for the fact that he saw with his own eyes that Xiao Rui had indeed just learned forging, he would have thought that he had been practicing for many years. In fact, this reason is very simple, Xiao Rui is now a high-level soul realm, when forging, the things that are observed with the divine sense and observed with the eyes must be very far away, the eyes always see the superficial things, and the divine sense can observe every subtlety, Xiao Rui will wrap the forged object with the divine sense every time he forges, carefully experience the process of forging, and experience the changes of the forged object, so he can quickly master the heat and skills of forging, and the forged thing will naturally be of good quality.

Duan Fei and Luo Hong, who had nothing to do, also often came here to watch Xiao Rui forging, and occasionally made two strokes, but the result could only be that Xia Keming frowned and returned the things they got out of the furnace and let Xiao Rui reforge them, but Xiao Rui didn't care, he felt that forging anything was fine, as long as he could improve his skills. Seeing the curious appearance of the two, Xiao Rui also occasionally forged some gadgets for Duan Fei and Luo Hong to play, and the two of them liked it very much when they saw it, and they even pestered Xiao Rui to forge.
