The two young men in white robes nodded in response and moved towards their target with a chilling intent.
As they approached, the atmosphere around them grew tense, and the air seemed to thicken with dread.
The young woman, who was the subject of their threat, stood her ground, her eyes filled with determination.
With a swift motion, she activated her cultivation level, preparing to defend herself against the impending attack.
“Do you really think you can intimidate me?” she challenged, her voice steady and resolute.
The elegantly dressed young man sneered at her defiance, “Struggle all you want, it won’t change your fate!”
Just as the two young men in white robes were about to strike, a shadow darted from the side, intercepting their advance.
A figure clad in a golden robe appeared, radiating an aura of confidence and power.
“It seems you are all too eager to spill innocent blood,” the golden-robed youth said, his voice calm yet commanding.
The room fell silent as everyone turned to face this new entrant, their expressions a mixture of surprise and hostility.
“Who are you?” one of the white-robed youths demanded, trying to regain control of the situation.
“I am here to protect her,” the golden-robed youth replied, his gaze unwavering.
With that, he took a step forward, positioning himself between the young woman and her assailants, ready to fight for her safety.
Upon hearing this, the two young men in white robes respectfully replied, “Yes, young master!”
With that, the two young men approached the Fierce Spirit young girl on the ground.
Hiding behind a tree, Tan Yun clenched his fists, determined to rescue the Fierce Spirit young girl from the hands of the three fifth-grade earth deities at all costs!
“Wait!” Suddenly, a voice entered the ears of the three young men, and they froze, instantly becoming vigilant.
They turned to see a young man in a purple robe walking out from behind an ancient tree.
Upon discovering Tan Yun was merely a first-class human-divine, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading young man looked down on Tan Yun, saying, “Today, this young master is in a good mood and doesn’t want to kill. You’d better scram!”
Tan Yun cupped his fists and said, “Greetings, senior. You cannot kill this Fierce Spirit; otherwise, you will suffer heavy losses.”
The young man glanced at Tan Yun, then waved his hand towards the two young men who were about to strike the Fierce Spirit young girl, saying, “A-Da, A Er, don’t kill her yet.”
“Yes, young master,” A-Da and A-Er replied respectfully.
At this moment, the young man looked back at Tan Yun, a smirk on his face, “Your words have successfully piqued this young master’s curiosity.”
“Speak, why would killing her lead to heavy losses for this young master?”
“If you cannot provide a valid reason, I assure you, you will die a miserable death!”
Hearing this, Tan Yun felt a surge of fear and replied, “Replying to the senior, my ancestors studied the Fierce Spirit Clan extensively, and thus, I inherited their legacy and mastered the soul search technique.”
“I can use the soul search technique on the Fierce Spirit young girl to find the hiding place of the Fierce Spirit Clan…”
Before Tan Yun could finish, the young man’s expression became excited and incredulous, “Is what you said true? You really know how to search the souls of the Fierce Spirits?”
“Yes, senior,” Tan Yun replied respectfully.
Suddenly, the young man furrowed his brows, his gaze skeptical, “You’re not lying to this young master, are you?”
Tan Yun nodded repeatedly, saying, “I wouldn’t dare! I’m just a mere first-class human-divine. Even if I had a thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you!”
“Hmm, I’ll take that as you knowing your place.” The young man was in a good mood, “This young master is Zhan Zusheng, the Third Young Master of the Supreme Divine King City.”
“As long as you can truly find the whereabouts of the Fierce Spirit Clan through the soul search technique, from now on, you can follow this young master!”
