"We should capture who? That girl?" One of the aged men asked as his eyes landed on Vivian who have already arrived at where Hutton is laying on the floor.

"Yes seniors" The young man answered with a very respectful demeanor. When the two aged men saw this, they first looked at each other and made a slow nod at each other before the other aged man said.

"Well it wouldn’t hurt if we just kidnap a little girl so why not?"

’Sh*t’ Hutton thought as his expression became grave. But before he could think of a way on how to get out of that situation with Vivian, the two aged men suddenly raised one of their hands again.

As Hutton and Vivian stood at the edge of the cliff, surrounded by the two veteran cultivators who are about to send an attack towards them, Hutton glanced at Vivian with determination in his eyes as he said.

"We have no choice,"

"What do you mean?" Vivian quickly asked with both a panicked and confused look on her face as she looked straight into Hutton’s eyes.

But Hutton didn’t give her any response as he suddenly held Vivian’s hand tightly which stunned Vivian. But in the next moment, they suddenly leaped off the cliff’s edge, plummeting into the abyss below.

As they fell, Hutton summoned a gust of wind with his cultivation, creating a cushion of air beneath them, slowing their descent. The veteran cultivators watched in shock as their prey escaped, disappearing into the mist below.

"No!!! Go after them!!" The young man suddenly exclaimed with a panicked look on his face, but the aged men didn’t take an inch further as they one of them suddenly said.

"Well that was unexpected. I never believed he will have such a strong mind to do something like this"

"Well that just shows just how far he is willing to go just to get stronger" the other aged man said as he suddenly turned to look at the young man.

"It seems like you have a bumpy road ahead young man"

After saying that to the young man, the two aged men suddenly vanished out of that area. When the young man saw this and heard what one of the aged man said, his expression quickly became menacing as he thought.

’In all my life, I haven’t had a bumpy road ahead and I will not start to have now’

.....

"What did you just do Hutton!!!?" While still falling down from a cliff, Vivian exclaimed with a look of disbelief on her now pale face. But Hutton didn’t give her an answer as an object suddenly appeared on his left hand.

"What is that!!?" Noticing the thing that just appeared in Hutton’s left hand, Vivian quickly asked with a confused look now on her face. With a smirk on his face, Hutton answered her.

"What I have in my hand is a swiftwind talisman"

The Swiftwind Talisman which is in Hutton’s hand is a small, palm-sized object crafted from shimmering silver and adorned with intricate engravings depicting swirling gusts of wind. Its surface is smooth to the touch, yet it emits a faint, pulsating glow reminiscent of a gentle breeze.

Right when Hutton jumped off the cliff with Vivian, he suddenly remembered what they usually call Emperor Chen back in his heyday.

’The swiftwind expert’

Because of this name, he quickly remembered that he has a similar talisman in his storage ring to the one Emperor Chen usually uses.

"Swiftwind Talisman?" Vivian asked with a curious look now on her face, while still slowing their fall from the cliff, Hutton answered.

"Yes, when activated, this talisman emanates a soft humming sound, and a whirlwind of energy will envelops both of us, granting us unparalleled speed and agility"

"Then what are you waiting for!? Quickly activate it!!" Vivian exclaimed as hope flashed in her eyes. After making a light chuckle, Hutton suddenly moved his left hand.

With a swift motion, Hutton grasped the swiftwind talisman tightly, feeling its smooth surface warm beneath his touch. With a whispered incantation, Hutton activated the talisman, and a surge of energy coursed through him.

Suddenly, a whirlwind enveloped Hutton and Vivian, cocooning them in a shimmering aura of wind. The talisman hummed with power as it amplified their movements, turning their free fall into a controlled descent.

With newfound agility, Hutton steered them away from jagged rocks and treacherous outcrops, navigating the cliffside with the grace of a seasoned master.Vivian clung to Hutton, her eyes wide with awe as they danced through the air, defying gravity with the aid of the talisman.

Together, they soared like birds, their hearts pounding with adrenaline as they evaded their pursuers and vanished into the forest below.

"This should be the place"

After dashing through the forest for a few minutes, Hutton suddenly spoke up as he suddenly stopped In his tracks. Right now, they are surrounded by various length of trees.

The thick forest stood as a majestic labyrinth of towering trees, their ancient trunks stretching skyward like guardians of nature’s secrets. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy above, dappling the forest floor in patches of golden light. Shafts of sunlight pierced through the thick foliage, illuminating the lush undergrowth below.

A cacophony of sounds filled the air, from the rustling of leaves to the gentle chirping of birds hidden among the branches. Moss-covered rocks littered the forest floor, softened by layers of fallen leaves and twigs. Vines snaked their way around tree trunks, forming intricate patterns as they reached towards the sunlight.

The air was alive with the scent of damp earth and pine needles, mingling with the sweet fragrance of wildflowers and the musky aroma of decaying wood. Shadows danced among the trees, casting an enchanting spell over the forest, where every step felt like a journey into the heart of nature’s embrace.

"Why did we stop here?" While still being mesmerized by the experience she had while passing through the forest, Vivian asked with a cinfused look on her face.

"That’s because someone is meant to pick us up here" Hutton answered while he brings out his phone to make a phone call. But before he could, an off road vehicle suddenly entered their line of sight.

The off-road vehicle was a rugged beast of mechanical prowess, its imposing frame adorned with scratches and mud stains earned from countless adventures in the wilderness. Its raised suspension and beefy tires spoke of a vehicle designed to conquer the toughest terrains with ease. The exterior was coated in a layer of durable matte paint, chosen to withstand the rigors of off-road exploration.

Beneath the robust hood, a powerful engine growled with untamed energy, ready to unleash its full potential at a moment’s notice. A winch protruded from the front grille, a testament to the vehicle’s capability to overcome obstacles with brute force when necessary. Auxiliary lights adorned the roof rack, serving as beacons to pierce through the darkness of uncharted paths.

The body of the vehicle featured a plethora of storage compartments and attachment points, catering to the needs of adventurers seeking to carry their gear into the wilderness. Skid plates guarded vital components from the hazards of rocky terrain, while fender flares provided additional protection against mud and debris.

Despite its rugged appearance, the off-road vehicle exuded an aura of purposeful functionality, each feature meticulously designed to enhance its performance in the most demanding of environments. It stood as a symbol of freedom and exploration, beckoning adventurers to embark on journeys beyond the beaten path.

’Took him long enough’ Hutton thought with a smirk now on his face while he placed his phone back into his pocket. As for Vivian, after narrowing her eyes to see who is in the vehicle, she suddenly thought.

’Isn’t that Jake?’

"Sorry am late boss" After parking the vehicle right in front of them, Jake said as he came out of the car.

"There is no problem, let’s quickly leave this place" Hutton said as he got closer to the vehicle to open it.

Bang!!

But before he could, the window that is on the door Hutton was about to open suddenly exploded which made Hutton to instinctively move back.

"Boss!!"

"Hutton!!"

Both Jake and Vivian exclaimed at the same time with a stunned look on their face. But Hutton expression was still calm as he thought.

’It seems like we were still being followed’

"You just gave yourself out. So what is the point of hiding?" Hutton suddenly asked with a calm look on his face as he turned to a particular part of the forest which confused both Jake and Vivian.

’Were we still being followed?’ Vivian thought with a shocked look on her face.

"Seems like you got me" Not too long after, a voice came out from the part of the forest Hutton is looking at as a person suddenly walked out.

When Hutton saw this person, his expression quickly became grim as he asked in disbelief.

"How did you find me?"

"That, I cannot tell. But all I have to say is to never underestimate the power of a super family" the person answered with a light smile on the face.
