“Hou Fengjun,”
Hou Fengjun stared at the person who appeared before him with vigilant eyes.
The presence of the shuanger around Li Tianyan proved troublesome. Hou Fengjun finally understood why his fourth uncle feared this person so much. Before entering the secret realm, he believed he could easily handle Li Tianyan, but now, he could no longer hold onto that notion.
When Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan’s arrival, surprise lit up his face. If it weren’t for the man in black robes standing between them, he would have rushed over.
“Aren’t you searching for my wife? Why are you leaving?” Li Tianyan’s voice was calm, but a fierce glint flickered in his eyes.
Hou Fengjun sensed the underlying threat in Li Tianyan’s words, but he didn’t believe the other party was merely engaging in conversation. Taking a deep breath, he launched a direct attack on the person before him.
Originally planning to create a distraction and escape, Hou Fengjun found himself overwhelmed as countless swords and shadows flashed before his eyes, igniting panic within him.
Before he could react, Hou Fengjun’s body was pierced by hundreds of flying knives, turning him into a pincushion. Eyes wide with disbelief, scarlet blood poured from his mouth as he collapsed weakly.
Li Tianyan regarded the lifeless bodies with cold eyes, summoning flames to reduce them to ashes. In moments, only a pile of dust remained on the ground, swept away by the wind without a trace.
Observing this, Tan Eyu frowned. She silently criticized Li Tianyan for his blunt and ruthless actions, turning people into ashes. Wasn’t he the real malevolent evil demon?
.
After completing his task, Li Tianyan turned his gaze to Cheng Qi nearby. Though his expression remained composed, his hands behind his back tightened unconsciously.
Cheng Qi was also stunned when he saw Li Tianyan’s thunderous methods. However, as the black-robed man’s body disappeared and Li Tianyan’s eyes fell on him, Cheng Qi instantly forgot about other things and was filled with joy. He ran to Li Tianyan and smiled at him, “Young master, why are you here?”
Li Tianyan stared at Cheng Qi for a while and found that he still had no change in his attitude toward him—no fear, hesitation or feeling distant, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Just passing by,” he replied. In fact, he had already discovered Cheng Qi before Hou Fengjun’s sneak attack, but Li Tianyan didn’t rush to show up after seeing Tan Eyu appeared in time.
“Passing by?” Cheng Qi’s bright black eyes blinked strangely, and he couldn’t help turning her head to look to the east of the secret realm, muttering to himself, “The young master shouldn’t be over there. How could he come from there, passing by here?”
“What are you talking about?” Li Tianyan asked, puzzled, poking his head in a funny way.
“It’s nothing. I thought you were over there, young master, and I was planning to find you.” Cheng Qi pointed to the direction ahead and said to Li Tianyan. It turned out that he had made a mistake.
“Fortunately, we met here, otherwise it would have been in vain for me to walk all the way.”
Li Tianyan glanced at the direction Cheng Qi pointed, which was exactly where he was going. He couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. “Why do you think I’m there?”
This time Cheng Qi didn’t answer, but Tan Eyu had already taken the lead, interjecting, “Because he feels that area is very attractive to him, so you must be there.”
Li Tianyan was stunned for a moment, and then a narrow smile appeared on his face. “Really?”
Cheng Qi felt his face heat up when Tan Eyu said it so straightforwardly, and he quickly changed the subject by taking out the token clue he found. “By the way, young master, we found this.”
Li Tianyan looked at the sign in his hand and also took out a few pieces he found, putting them together. “I’ll give them all to you.”
“So many?” Cheng Qi stared at the five extra bronze medals with wide eyes, feeling like he couldn’t laugh or cry for a moment. Sure enough, what did the young master do? He was all better than him.
Tan Eyu also remembered that she had just found a piece. When she took it out, it seemed to be the same piece as Li Tianyan’s. She couldn’t help but curl her lips and say in disgust, “I don’t know what these scraps of copper and iron can be used for.”
“First of all, put them away,” Li Tianyan instructed. He didn’t study the function of these signs, so he just held onto them for the time being.
.
“Young master, where are we going next?” Cheng Qi put all the signs into the storage bag and asked Li Tianyan curiously.
“I was looking for a person, but the clues were broken. Now I can only look around. Didn’t you say there is something over there that attracts you? Let’s continue walking east.” There was another dangerous person in the secret realm, Li Tianyan did not intend to let Cheng Qi acted alone.
“Who is the young master looking for? Is it related to the man in black just now?” Cheng Qi finally remembered what happened to the man in black. When he lowered his head, he saw the corpse had been scattered, not even the dregs were left.
“Well, that person just now should be Hou Fengjun, the ninth-level warrior of the Hou family. There was also an innate warrior who came in with him. I suspect there is something wrong with that person’s identity,” Li Tianyan said without concealing it.
“Let’s take a look while walking,” Cheng Qi thought that he had found the young master anyway, other things might not be so important, and he didn’t need to rush.
“Yes,” Li Tianyan nodded, but looked in the direction of the underground palace, a little curious about what could attract Cheng Qi. Was it really related to the inheritance of Yunpeng Secret Realm?
Thinking of being able to stay with the young master again, the smile on Cheng Qi’s face brightened. He ran to the bull beast who was munching grass. He was about to put it back into the Spirit Beast Card, but suddenly he had an idea and sat astride on the back of the bull beast.
Driving the bull beast to Li Tianyan, Cheng Qi pretended to be nonchalant and said, “Young master, come up too. Niuniu can walks faster.”

The bull beast opened its nostrils and snorted, seeming to agree with his words.
Li Tianyan glanced at the beast’s back, which was still very spacious. After thinking about it, he stepped up and sat behind Cheng Qi. Then, he stretched out his hand to grab the reins of the bull beast. The movements of the two of them looked like Li Tianyan was hugging Cheng Qi. Generally speaking, in fact, it was almost the same.
Feeling his back pressed against Li Tianyan’s chest, Cheng Qi felt nervous but couldn’t help to secretly rejoice. Tan Eyu could see the little thought in Cheng Qi’s head, so she rolled her eyes and floated ahead alone.
The bull beast had become wise and started to run almost without any urging. Like Tan Eyu, the bull beast was also very discerning. When it saw that Li Tianyan was honest, its steps were become very fast.
