Just after Su Yuan beheaded Fan Sanmei, a sudden cry came from behind Situ Qingyin.
"Don’t move!" An icy, ruthless voice immediately followed.
Su Yuan slightly turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a scar on his face and long hair, who had somehow appeared behind Situ Qingyin.
Not far away, two others strode over. They looked at the scene where not a single intact corpse remained, their faces filled with both shock and anger.
"You actually killed all my brothers!"
Chen Yongyi’s voice was extremely low and filled with turbulence. He couldn’t believe that dealing with just two students would result in receiving a distress signal.
He had rushed over at full speed with Xiangzi and Ming, only to witness this silver-eyed young man dodging the Snow Ice Needle and beheading Third Sister!
Su Yuan said calmly, "A killer must always consider the day they themselves will be slain."
Chen Yongyi furrowed his brows and coldly snorted, "So, you’re prepared to be killed as well?"
"Always prepared..." Su Yuan glanced at him, "But just your words are far from enough."
With that, Su Yuan’s left hand pressed down, and the Void Splitting Monument Hand instantly appeared above Chen Yongyi’s head, slamming down fiercely!
Chen Yongyi had thought he could take Situ Qingyin hostage first, but he didn’t expect Su Yuan to attack him, disregarding Situ Qingyin’s safety.
"Then I’ll kill her first!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Yongyi’s eyes. His sword glowed with a cold light as he thrust it forward, seemingly ready to trade blow for blow with Situ Qingyin!
But just as the longsword was about to stab Situ Qingyin, the bracelet on her left hand lit up. A layer of golden light wrapped around her like a long robe, blocking Chen Yongyi’s sword.
Defense Star Device?!
Chen Yongyi’s expression changed slightly, understanding why Su Yuan dared to attack him.
At this moment, the silver hand was already pressing down from above.
Chen Yongyi felt the space around him become sticky, making it hard to move. With a thought, snowflakes surged around him. He immediately used the Snow Transfer Skill to move away.
Su Yuan turned around and swept his gaze across the surroundings, spotting a place where flying snow was gathering rapidly. His silver eyes flashed, and he disappeared from his original spot.
A large amount of snow gathered to form a snowman, which then transformed back into Chen Yongyi.
"That was close... This guy is much stronger than your average student!"
Chen Yongyi’s face changed slightly as he recalled the astonishing spatial waves from the silver hand. He couldn’t help feeling a bit of fear.
But before Chen Yongyi could catch his breath, he saw Su Yuan instantly teleporting in front of him, slashing down with his blade!
"Instant Teleportation, Space Element?!"
Chen Yongyi’s heart sank. He realized he might have really hit a brick wall this time and could only raise his longsword to block.
"You two, capture that woman!"
Chen Yongyi knew that facing a Star Card Master with Instant Teleportation, even he had little hope of escaping!
The person in front of him was astonishingly strong; he could only try to get the girl from the side!
"Yes, Boss!"
Xiangzi and Ming responded and charged at Situ Qingyin.
However, Su Yuan remained composed. While pressing down on Chen Yongyi with one hand, he used the Void Splitting Monument Hand to grab the other two directly.
The Void Splitting Monument Hand was incredibly agile. Xiangzi and Ming had barely moved before they were caught by the Monument Hand.
A series of spatial oscillations followed, and regardless of their defensive or life-saving measures, the silver hand brutally crushed them one by one!
In just moments, the Void Splitting Monument Hand had killed them both!
There was no chance of capturing Situ Qingyin; they couldn’t even protect themselves!
"Xiangzi, Ming!"
Chen Yongyi cried out in shock. Staring at the handsome youth in front of him, he suddenly felt an insurmountable sense of despair.
"Only you are left."
Su Yuan looked at Chen Yongyi. Lifting his hand, the distant Void Splitting Monument Hand merged into the void, constantly approaching Chen Yongyi.
Chen Yongyi knew that the silver hand could lock onto spatial waves. Feeling the rapid approach, he tried to retreat backward without thinking.
But suddenly, a heavy pressure fixed his body on the spot.
"What is this?!"
Chen Yongyi was shocked, his whole body breaking out in a cold sweat. He immediately unleashed his Silver Extreme Level Star Power to resist the pressure.
However, the brief delay allowed the Void Splitting Monument Hand to appear right before Chen Yongyi, grabbing at him.
Under the dual restrictions of Elemental Magnetism Pressure and the "Prison" trait, Chen Yongyi couldn’t move an inch!
"Snow Transfer Skill!"
Chen Yongyi didn’t hesitate, using the Snow Transfer Skill again!
As the Void Splitting Monument Hand grabbed down, Chen Yongyi turned into a mass of snow that exploded.
About a hundred meters away, flying snow rapidly gathered into a human form.
Just as the transferred Chen Yongyi was getting his bearings, he saw a flash of cold light, followed by a sudden cold, painful sensation on his neck!
Moments later, his vision spun, and then everything went dark. Chen Yongyi had no more thoughts.
"You thought you could use the same tactic twice on me?" Su Yuan shook his head.
He had already figured out the effect of the Snow Transfer Skill the first time Chen Yongyi used it to escape.
While Su Yuan was clashing with Chen Yongyi up close, using the Void Splitting Monument Hand to kill the other two, he also spread his senses to search for any lingering spiritual power fluctuations in the snow.
With his super strong senses, Su Yuan quickly found a patch of snow with a trace of Ice Star Power, marking Chen Yongyi’s transfer spot.
During Chen Yongyi’s transfer, Su Yuan had already teleported there ahead of time, waiting.
The Snow Transfer Skill was just a green skill, requiring a Star Power mark in the snow, consuming much power, and transferring slowly... It had many limitations.
Compared to the Instant Teleportation, which ranked T0 among blue displacement skills, the difference was immeasurable...
"Su Yuan, are you okay?" Situ Qingyin ran over, carefully examining Su Yuan.
Su Yuan smiled, "I’m fine."
Their Soul Cards should have been green. Though their realm was one stage higher than his, both their physical and Star Power were inferior.
The gap in skills was even more immeasurable...
"Check over there."
Su Yuan led Situ Qingyin to a blood-stained sack left on the ground by Gao Ge.
Upon opening it, they saw Zhou Lanqing, paralyzed and unable to move or speak.
Zhou Lanqing, unable to move but vaguely aware of the events, realized that this student had killed all the robbers!
Caught off guard and given a new lease on life, Zhou Lanqing was emotional. Though she couldn’t speak, her eyes welled up.
"It’s a girl!"

Situ Qingyin’s face changed as she carefully cut open the sack.
"How are you?" Situ Qingyin asked while feeding Zhou Lanqing a healing pill.
But Zhou Lanqing couldn’t even swallow.
Situ Qingyin activated a talisman.
Life-filled green light from the talisman rained down on Zhou Lanqing, stopping her bleeding wounds and beginning her recovery.
However, Zhou Lanqing still couldn’t move.
Situ Qingyin was puzzled, "Su Yuan, what’s wrong with her?"
Su Yuan examined her wounds, "Must be poisoned. Let me try."
Raising his hand, Su Yuan summoned a dense Holy Light, forcing black smoke from Zhou Lanqing’s body.
As the Holy Light faded, Zhou Lanqing seemed to regain some strength, slowly sitting up.
"Th-... Thank you!"
Zhou Lanqing looked at them gratefully, struggling to speak.
Su Yuan took a soda bottle from his ring, "You’re not fully recovered. Rest a bit."
"Mm..."
About ten minutes later, Zhou Lanqing had regained some strength.
After some conversation, Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin understood what had happened.
"So these people were robbers waiting to ambush passersby?"
"Mm, it seems so. Unfortunately, my friend..."
Zhou Lanqing sighed deeply as Xu Mingzhi had already been killed.
Surviving was sheer luck.
Fortunately, they didn’t kill her straight away, and she met these two in time.
Thinking about it still made her shiver.
Su Yuan asked, "You mentioned you’re exploring the Ancient City ruins in the Secret Realm?"
Su Yuan remembered Wang Dongqiang had mentioned the Ancient City ruins.
"Mm, we heard rumors of a snow-buried Ancient City with potentially ancient treasures.
Many had entered the Secret Realm before us.
Black Snow Country, Black Wind Domain, Yunxi Domain, Great Flame Country... Even some from the North entered!"
"Ancient City ruins..." Su Yuan pondered.
According to Lin Yue, Dragon Sect had sent several teams to explore. Even City Lord’s son, Qin Lianyun, couldn’t resist joining, so it must hold valuable items.

Though the Ice and Snow ruins didn’t appeal to him.
However...
Su Yuan glanced at Situ Qingyin and asked Zhou Lanqing, "Considering it’s an Ancient City, does it have Ice Element materials like Snow Crystal Stones?"
"Though the details are scarce, it’s said some retrieved Ice Snow resources.
Snow Crystal Stones are Level Three materials. The Ancient City might have some."
Su Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you."
"I should thank you for saving me..." Zhou Lanqing looked at them gratefully. "By the way, you’re not from Black Snow Country?"
"Mm, we’re from Great Flame."
"No wonder. If our Four Academies had students like you, I would’ve known. Great Flame Country truly is one of the East Continent’s two powers."
Situ Qingyin asked, "What’s your plan?"
"I’ll rest and then head back. You can proceed without worrying about me."
Zhou Lanqing inferred Su Yuan intended to further explore the Ancient City ruins. It’d be rude to tag along.
Su Yuan scanned the surroundings, confirming no immediate danger, then nodded.
"We’re leaving. Be careful."
With Zhou Lanqing recovered somewhat, Su Yuan wouldn’t spend more time.
Though Situ Qingyin hesitated, she considered Su Yuan’s intentions and handed her two pills.
"One restores health and strength, the other Star Power. Take them."
"Th-... Thank you, Miss Situ!"
Zhou Lanqing took the pills. In the harsh conditions of Snow Burial Plain, recovering faster increased her survival chances.
"Ancient City ruins..."
Su Yuan glanced towards the Secret Realm’s depths, then continued forward with Situ Qingyin.
