The two middle-aged men in silver robes from Sky Thunder Valley are the stewards stationed in Bianlei City by the valley. It's worth mentioning that they are also a pair of brothers. The elder is named Xue Chao, and the younger is Xue Mu. Both are at the Middle Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, comparable to Mei Qian of the Thunder City Spirit Fighting Branch.

Since Kong Qianshan and Kong Sihai, a pair of brothers, had come to Bianlei City, it was natural for them to greet Xue Chao and Xue Mu. However, in their earlier actions, they did not involve the latter two.

After all, in the minds of Kong Qianshan and Kong Sihai, dealing with a mere Peak Qi Seeking Realm kid didn't require the intervention of Middle Stage Origin Seeking Realm experts. Unexpectedly, they were caught off guard in the end.

At that time, the Xue brothers were engaged in matters on the eastern side of Bianlei City. When the news reached them, they were taken aback. The Kong family brothers, Thunder Children of the Sky Thunder Valley headquarters, had died outside the North Gate of Bianlei City. If this were pursued, they too would not escape repercussions.

Fortunately, the Xue brothers were very familiar with the area around Bianlei City and had extensive connections. After multiple inquiries, they finally got wind of Yun Xiao's whereabouts and joined forces with the two parties today.

As a result, Yun Xiao was now facing three forces. Setting aside the two Early Stage Origin Seeking Realm geniuses, Xiao Qiming and Ye Suxin, there were as many as three Middle Stage Origin Seeking Realm experts, plus Xiao Baishi of the Late Stage Origin Seeking Realm, whose strength could not be underestimated.

However, the biggest threat to Yun Xiao was still the Seven Killings Guardian of the Killing Heart Sect, Zheng Qiming. After all, his cultivation had reached the Peak of the Seeking Origin Realm.

Even though Yun Xiao had broken through to the Early Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, and his physical and soul strengths had increased significantly, he still found it somewhat challenging to face a Peak Expert of the Seeking Origin Realm.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao was not fighting alone. The two ancient exotic demons within him could rival even Middle to Late Stage Origin Seeking Realm human cultivators.

Take, for example, Chi Yan, who had just broken through to the Eighth Rank Low Level. In a battle with a Middle Stage Origin Seeking Realm expert, he wouldn't be at much of a disadvantage.

Thus, after the parties converged, they saw a young man in coarse clothes standing at the lake's edge, appearing calm and unperturbed, which made their expressions somewhat dark.

"Hahaha, Yun Xiao, you sure have guts, daring to stay here and invite death instead of fleeing?"

Xiao Family's Xiao Qiming felt quite proud, but as soon as the laughter rang out, Mei Qian, who witnessed the entire event earlier, started showing a peculiar expression.

"Weren't you the one who fled in panic that day, Brother Xiao?"

Yun Xiao turned around, his face expressionless, and retorted, "I spared your dog life that day, and yet you come seeking death again. Is the Xiao family full of such fools?"

If the first sentence was merely a strong taunt, the latter ones insulted the entire Xiao family, causing a hint of murderous intent to flash in Xiao Baishi's eyes.

"Yun Xiao, is it? Offending my Xiao family in the Southern Domain of Tenglong Continent... I must say, you have a lot of guts!"

As a Late Stage Origin Seeking Realm expert, Xiao Baishi was confident. Although the young man opposite seemed to have strange energy, how much could a boy who was just at the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm half a month ago improve?

"Xiao Qiming, if this Late Stage Origin Seeking Realm old guy is your support, then I have to say, you might be disappointed!"

Yun Xiao's indifferent gaze scanned Xiao Baishi. His knack for pulling aggro was top-notch, and his words nearly provoked Xiao Baishi into immediate action.

"Yun Xiao, let me ask you, did you kill our Spirit Fighting Commerce's main envoy, Xia Yong?"

Just as Meridian Qi was rising from Xiao Baishi, Mei Qian finally spoke. Although she had already believed Zheng Qiming's words, she wanted to confirm it herself, to hear Yun Xiao admit it.

"Xia Yong?"

Upon Mei Qian's question, Yun Xiao finally understood why the elder from the Thunder City Spirit Fighting Commerce branch had also come. It must have been from Ye Suxin and Zheng Qiming's accounts that they learned of the events in Thunder King Valley back then.

"He brought it upon himself, can't blame others. If you are equally reckless, I don't mind sending you to meet him!"

Since Mei Qian had come knocking, Yun Xiao showed no mercy for her beauty. These words finally erased her doubts, and a faint Meridian Qi surrounded her, slightly weaker than Xiao Baishi's, as she was only at the Middle Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm.

"Boy, you killed our Sky Thunder Valley's Five Thunder Child in Thunder King Valley, and then two Thunder Children of our valley in Bianlei City. We must tell you, your road ends here!"

The Xue brothers from Sky Thunder Valley, who had remained silent, finally had the elder Xue Chao coldly utter his first words. Within his speech lay not only a thick threat but also the usual arrogance of Sky Thunder Valley.

After all, this entire area was the territory of Sky Thunder Valley, and no one dared to kill two Thunder Children on their grounds. At the very least, the Xue brothers had never heard of such a thing.

Yet, this youth named Yun Xiao, who formerly seemed to be just at the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm, was at least courageous, though his lifespan would be short.

"Caw!"

At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly heard a sharp cry from the sky, and instinctively looked up, his mind pondering, then turned his gaze to the two members of Killing Heart Sect over there.

"Did you see it?"

Ye Suxin's serene face held a trace of coldness, seeing Yun Xiao's action, she finally revealed a sneer, for she knew this time, that rough-clothed boy opposite was bound to fail.

"Heh, it seems you are indeed well-prepared!"

Yun Xiao stared at that genius from Killing Heart Sect, but he was now at ease, having clearly sensed the aura of that Flying Beast Pulse Demon in the sky.

Honestly, when he first saw the Flying Beast Pulse Demon, Yun Xiao was really startled, silently acknowledging the meticulous planning of Killing Heart Sect. With this Flying Beast Pulse Demon, it seemed his Thunder Dragon's Wings were as good as nonexistent.

"Just a Seventh Rank Advanced Flying Beast Pulse Demon?"

Yun Xiao didn't say this aloud, as those guys were so confident. He would give them a big surprise when the time comes, but perhaps he could have some fun first.

If outsiders knew what Yun Xiao was thinking at this moment, they would probably ridicule him for overestimating himself, because even with a breakthrough to the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage, today's situation still looked like a dead end.

Seven enemies surrounded him, with the weakest being geniuses like Ye Suxin and Xiao Qiming in the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage, and even having powerhouses like Zheng Qiming at the peak of the Origin Seeking Realm, it seemed impossible for Yun Xiao to escape alive.

"A final word of advice: if you do not want to die, retreat now. Otherwise, this lakeshore will be your resting place today!"

A low voice came from Yun Xiao's mouth, but such words were regarded as a joke by the several strong figures, just like those geniuses over half a month ago.

"Arrogant brat!"

The first to lose patience was the brothers from Sky Thunder Valley, Xue Chao and Xue Mu. From the gathered intelligence, they were aware of how those two Thunder Children became enemies with Yun Xiao.

In fact, if not for the Kong brothers coveting the treasures Yun Xiao obtained, they wouldn't have met a violent end. Reasonably speaking, it was merely their own fault.

However, for such an incident to occur on the territory of Sky Thunder Valley, if they pretended nothing happened, their position among the first-class forces would certainly decline.

Moreover, it indeed happened on their turf, so if Yun Xiao, a killer, was slain by others, it would also be humiliating for Sky Thunder Valley. So by every measure, Xue brothers had to be the first to act, to demonstrate Sky Thunder Valley's prowess to the various forces.

"Take my hammer!"

At some point, Xue Mu, the second of the Xue brothers in Sky Thunder Valley, had pulled out a small silver hammer from his Waist Storage and then shouted angrily, striking fiercely at Yun Xiao, accompanied by howling wind and thunder, appearing overwhelmingly powerful.

But with Yun Xiao's current strength, how could he be hit by this hammer? He slightly shifted his body, then swung his right leg fiercely, bursting forth with Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power, not appearing overtly formidable but causing Xue Mu to sneer.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Another low shout came, Xue Mu also extended his right leg. Although he cultivated Thunder Attribute Technique, his refining of physical strength was remarkable, renowned in Sky Thunder Valley.

Thus, Xue Mu was highly confident in his kick, believing that this kid who barely reached the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm a month ago couldn't possibly keep his right leg intact after this leg clash.

Bam!

The clash of legs, yet the scene that followed nearly made everyone's eyes pop out because it was Xue Mu, the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage powerhouse of Sky Thunder Valley, who showed a pained expression, and his right leg seemed to have a certain degree of distortion.

"O-Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage?!"

It was only at this moment that everyone truly sensed Yun Xiao's Meridian Qi cultivation, their faces stunned, especially Mei Qian and Xiao Qiming, who witnessed his battle at the North Gate of Bianlei City half a month ago, were full of disbelief.

To understand that between the Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage and the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, there was still the Half-step Origin Seeking Realm stage, a process of converting ordinary earth power to manipulative Earth Essence.

If unsuccessful, breaking through to the true Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage would remain impossible. This was an unbreakable truth, a deeply entrenched notion.
