【Luo Ning’s face was pale as she hid her and Ye Wanqing’s auras deep in the forest.】
【Though the arrow just now hadn’t hit her,】
【the Golden Demon Realm was after all the Golden Demon Realm.】
【The huge gap in cultivation meant Yang Xiao’s arrow, relying solely on the locked-on energy wave, had already disrupted the demonic energy inside Luo Ning.】
【Now she was completely powerless to fight, only able to quietly hide and hope Yang Xiao would leave soon.】
【But the title of Red Dawn Sheep Lord was not shouted out, it was earned by Yang Xiao’s true fighting prowess back then.】
【His battle experience was far beyond what Luo Ning could imagine.】
【Yang Xiao stood silently, mockingly surveying the surroundings.】
【He spoke softly, “Not bad illusion. If I’m not mistaken, you cast it quietly just now when you left that little girl behind, right?”】
【“But even so, do you really think you can run away?”】
【“I can easily sense any tiny fluctuation of demonic energy within ten thousand li.”】
【“Trying to escape a peak Golden Demon Realm demon’s grasp with just this illusion? Too unrealistic, isn’t it?”】
【“Like I said before, I only want that little girl.”】
【“Hand her over to me and everything can be negotiated, understand?”】
【These words spread effortlessly through the entire mountain range aided by demonic power.】
【Luo Ning leaned against a tree trunk, tightly holding Ye Wanqing’s small hand, not daring to make a sound.】
【At that moment, countless tiny fireflies suddenly descended from the sky.】
【The brilliant scene made Ye Wanqing widen her eyes.】
【She even wanted to raise her hand and catch one to take a closer look.】
【But Luo Ning’s face suddenly changed.】
【Because the firefly that landed before them suddenly transformed into Yang Xiao’s shape.】
【“Found you!”】
【Yang Xiao raised one hand in front of him, about to cast a demon technique to kill Luo Ning.】
【Suddenly, a thunderbolt crashed from the sky.】
【Yang Xiao tried to retreat quickly, but his robe still bore a black mark.】
【He looked down, frowning.】
【“What demon dares to ruin my fun at a time like this?”】
【Just as Yang Xiao was about to curse, he saw who had arrived and immediately smiled.】
【“So you really are here!”】
【Indeed, the one who called down the thunderbolt was Ye Yu.】
【He ignored Yang Xiao and instead glanced back at Luo Ning and Ye Wanqing.】
【Softly asked, “Are you two alright?”】
【Luo Ning shook her head.】
【Ye Wanqing raised her hand and said, “Brother, that ugly old man tried to catch me, it was sister-in-law who saved me!”】
【Just this one sentence】
【Made all three of them simultaneously feel speechless.】
【Including the “ugly old man” Yang Xiao, as well as Ye Yu and Luo Ning.】
【Are they really not going to change these names anymore?】
【Honestly, if it weren’t such an awkward time, Luo Ning would definitely pull out paper and pen and start explaining things together with Ye ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Yu.】
【Ye Yu pinched the bridge of his nose.】
【Helplessly said, “You two, leave first! This place affects my performance a bit.”】
【Luo Ning glanced warily at Yang Xiao.】
【From his recent attack, she had deeply witnessed the strength of a peak Golden Demon Realm demon.】
【So she clearly knew their presence would only be a burden, not help.】
【She immediately pulled Ye Wanqing backward.】
【And warned, “Be careful!”】
【Ye Yu nodded slightly and walked straight forward.】
【“What are you trying to do? Why not just talk things out? Must you put a bounty and try to catch my sister?”】
【Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned.】
【Then scolded loudly, “If you hadn’t stolen the treasure of my sect, would I have done this?”】
【Ye Yu sighed involuntarily.】
【He really couldn’t deny stealing.】
【After all, the facts existed and were undeniable.】
【But back then Ye Yu couldn’t control himself — he chose to cultivate that path on his own.】
【Honestly, your technique being chosen for automatic cultivation is your blessing — don’t be ungrateful.】
【Of course, these are truths that really shouldn’t be said aloud.】
【Ye Yu could only sigh and softly say, “So should I give it back to you?”】
【Yang Xiao sneered.】
【Thinking Ye Yu was scared.】
【“Kid, you think too highly of yourself. You say you stole it, then you stole it; you say you’ll give it back, then you’ll give it back? What? You really think I, Red Dawn Sheep Lord, am made of mud?”】
【“Let me tell you the truth: today, not only will you hand over the technique, but your life too!”】
【Listening to Yang Xiao’s roar,】
【Ye Yu unexpectedly relaxed.】
【“I was just joking with you, didn’t expect you to take it seriously.”】
【“But I like your greedy attitude.”】
【“Killing a demon like you is a good deed.”】
【“By the way, here’s another thing: treasures of the world belong to those capable enough to possess them!”】
【Just as he finished speaking,】
【Ye Yu’s body suddenly began to rapidly expand.】
【In the blink of an eye, the towering giant ape appeared once more in the world.】
【Yang Xiao gasped seeing this scene.】
【“Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art!”】
【How much time had passed?】
【This kid had already completely mastered the technique?】
【Impossible.】
【Many possibilities flashed through Yang Xiao’s mind but none lasted long.】
【Because the battle did not last long either.】
【After several dozen breaths,】
【heaven and earth returned to calm again.】
【More than half the mountain range had been completely leveled!】
【Red Dawn Sheep Lord Yang Xiao was blasted to death.】
【Ye Yu’s body returned to normal, habitually starting to clench his fists.】
【Since the last battle, he had completely fallen in love with this overwhelming power.】
【Clean, decisive, and unreasonable!】
【Truly addictive.】
【Afterward, Ye Yu found Luo Ning and Ye Wanqing and together they went to see Ye Chuang and Lü Hongying.】
【He told them the bounty issue had been completely resolved.】
【They could return to Yingning Mountain.】
【After saying this, Ye Yu decisively left with Luo Ning.】
【Not giving the Ye family any chance for gossip.】
【Luo Ning agreed wholeheartedly.】
【Writing constantly really is tiring!】
【Ye Yu took Luo Ning to a quiet place, took out the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique from his storage ring, and handed it over to her.】
【“Thank you for protecting my sister. I’ve brought back the cultivation manual as promised!”】
