It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Two sword energies, radiating coldness, struck. Upon seeing them, Lu Feng's eyes widened immediately.

These two acted with extreme decisiveness.

He was severely injured by Pei Yuan's attack and was too weak to withstand the attack.

But at that moment, Pei Yuan made a move.

He slowly extended a palm, and the two sword beams, exuding a chilling aura, shattered instantly upon contact with his hand.

This scene shocked everyone from Tiannan present.

Pei Yuan didn't use any techniques; he blocked Su Bingyun and Ye Qingxue's sword strikes with his bare body.

Their strength is terrifying!

Lu Feng and the others were even more horrified, secretly thinking that it was right for them to kneel down and beg for mercy, otherwise, if Pei Yuan had used even a little of his strength, they would have been dead without a doubt.

They then looked at Ye Qingxue and Su Bingyun, their expressions becoming even more arrogant.

"Su Bingyun, Ye Qingxue, what are you standing there for? Do you want to disobey Lord Pei? It's your good fortune to be able to follow him."

"Why aren't you kneeling down and paying your respects to Lord Pei!"

Lu Feng and his men shouted angrily, their expressions sinister.

Su Bingyun and Ye Qingxue have always been high and mighty in the Holy Land. So what if they are the pride of heaven? In front of Pei Yuan, they still have to obediently submit to him just like them.

Upon seeing this, Su Bingyun's expression turned serious, sensing Pei Yuan's immense power.

But Ye Qingxue remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple, and slowly took out the token.

With her master here, what did she have to fear?

Ye Qingxue didn't care. She unconditionally trusted her master. No matter how strong Pei Yuan was, he was no match for her master's clone.

No matter what difficulties or dangers she encountered, her master always shielded her from everything and protected her.

This is Ye Qingxue's confidence!

"Come here and submit obediently, or you'll die!"

Pei Yuan looked at Ye Qingxue and the other person with a disdainful tone.

He never took the Tiannan cultivators seriously.

The disciples of the Qiongtian Sect standing beside Pei Yuan all wore expressions of disdain.

"stop!"

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a woman's voice rang out, and Yan Ruhua appeared with the disciples of Xiaoyao Academy.

She frowned at Pei Yuan and began to reprimand him.

"Pei Yuan, your Qiongtian Sect is a prestigious sect in Zhongzhou. How is your bullying and coercing of others by relying on your strength any different from the actions of the demonic path?"

Yan Ruhua stood beside Ye Qingxue and the other woman, giving them a kind smile.

She could understand Su Bingyun and Ye Qingxue's current situation.

Back in Zhongzhou, when her cultivation was still weak, she had also encountered a similar situation. Fortunately, she was rescued by a master from Xiaoyao Academy, which led to her current state.

Therefore, today, facing the weak and outnumbered Su Bingyun and Ye Qingxue, she stepped forward without hesitation.

Ye Qingxue and Su Bingyun were both slightly taken aback when they saw Yan Ruhua suddenly appear and stand up for them.

Unexpectedly, I encountered someone willing to lend a helping hand.

Both of them felt a warmth in their hearts at the same time. The cultivation world has always been cold and indifferent. People who are not related to you are rarely willing to lend a helping hand. On the contrary, it is easy to get into trouble.

Pei Yuan frowned as he looked at Yan Ruhua, who had suddenly appeared.

In Zhongzhou, Xiaoyao Academy and Qiongtian Sect held equal status, and Yan Ruhua's strength was also comparable to his.

Pei Yuan pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He came to the Misty Wonderland to seek opportunities, but it's not worth wasting his time with Yan Ruhua for two unrelated people.

When Lu Feng and the others saw Pei Yuan leave, they secretly realized something was wrong.

Pei Yuan didn't deal with Su Bingyun and Ye Qingxue, so aren't they finished?

After all, they had been shouting and provoking the two of them.

The faces of the crowd instantly filled with terror.

The next moment, two icy blades, radiating coldness, pierced straight through their hearts.

Lu Feng and the others looked pained.

They looked at Ye Qingxue and Su Bingyun with extremely complex expressions.

The next second, his body went limp, and he stopped breathing completely.

Ye Qingxue and Su Bingyun looked at the corpses of Lu Feng and the others with disgust on their faces.

These people deserved to die.

The two then looked at Yan Ruhua at the same time, their eyes filled with gratitude.

Yan Ruhua looked at Ye Qingxue and Su Bingyun and smiled slightly.

"You two are quite talented. Why don't you come with me? I will protect you and take you to Xiaoyao Academy."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue did not hesitate at all. She first showed gratitude, and then refused.

"Thank you for saving me, sister. But no need. My master is still waiting for me in the immortal realm."

After Ye Qingxue finished speaking, she pulled Su Bingyun away quickly.

Yan Ruhua watched the two figures leave in a hurry, but did not try to stop them.

She intervened to save them only because their experiences were remarkably similar to her own back then, and she felt a deep empathy for them.

The fact that the two men rejected her can only be attributed to fate; one cannot force things.

Jiang Mo, standing to the side, was quite puzzled by Yan Ruhua's recent actions.

Yan Ruhua's decision to let Yuan Xing and Chen Ping go earlier, and now to save Ye Qingxue and Su Bingyun, is a complete waste of time.

"Senior sister, we have been in the Misty Wonderland for many days, but we have not found the slightest opportunity. We cannot continue like this."

Yan Ruhua nodded after hearing Jiang Mo's words. She had indeed wasted too much time these days.

Without further hesitation, he led Jiang Mo and the others away quickly.

............

Zhongzhou, a border region.

Countless powerful figures stood here.

Together, they forcibly opened the entrance to the ethereal fairyland at the border.

The cultivation threshold for entering the Misty Immortal Realm will be changed to the Saint Realm, allowing younger disciples from various factions to enter.

At this moment, the place was already crowded with people, and many young prodigies at the Saint Realm stood at the entrance boundary.

In the past few days, through continuous deduction by the powerful figures of Zhongzhou, it has been confirmed that the Misty Immortal Realm was formed from fragments of the Quasi-Emperor Artifact, the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

The reason they cared so much was that the Map of Mountains and Rivers was by no means an ordinary quasi-imperial artifact.

Legend has it that the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was a genuine imperial artifact in ancient times.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers itself is a condensation of a complete and grand era, forming its own world and encompassing all things.

Once unleashed, the interior is like a true great world, and the power of such a great world is unimaginable.

However, in a great battle in ancient times, that emperor perished, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers was shattered.

Fragments are scattered throughout the world.

The ethereal fairyland before us is a small world formed from fragments of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

There are even rumors that the entire legacy and opportunities of that emperor are hidden in the fairyland.

Such an opportunity naturally attracted the covetous eyes of major powers in the Central Plains, who all sent their juniors to the border entrance.

The top experts from all the major forces in Zhongzhou gathered here, sizing each other up.

The group was wary of each other and dared not make a move easily.

Recently, some people have suggested that since the Misty Immortal Realm only allows Saint Realm cultivators to enter, why don't the various sects send their juniors to this place as a trial?

Let everyone compete for resources in the fairyland based on their own abilities.

Upon hearing this, all the top powers agreed.

Therefore, the top talents from all factions gathered here.

Previously, since no one was sure whether the Misty Immortal Realm evolved from a fragment of the Mountain and River Map, they dared not send their sect's prodigies in rashly.

Now that the news was confirmed, everyone no longer hesitated and gave their disciples some instructions.

Subsequently, countless figures surged into the ethereal fairyland.

Within the Xiao family camp, the various high-ranking members watched as a handsome young man was seen off.

This person is Xiao Bufan, the strongest young prodigy of the Xiao family in this generation. He is only eighteen years old and his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Saint realm.

Xiao Bufan took a deep breath, surrounded by a group of young disciples from the Xiao family.

I slowly stepped into the ethereal fairyland.
