"Just drop it, okay? You, protecting me? When a fight breaks out, you'll be the first one running."

Wan Lei rolled his eyes, thinking that with the guy's fourth level of Initial Force realm, it would be good enough if he didn't drag him down.

"Don't underestimate me. I'm already at the sixth level of Initial Force realm. I'm considered strong for my age."

Sui Xiaohang said proudly.

It was just that his ugly face and low cultivation level really didn't give people an imposing aura.

"Oh? You're not bad, kid. You've crossed three major realms in just a month. What, were you eating pig feed?"

Wan Lei was very surprised.

"Cough, cough."

Sui Potian almost choked on his own saliva, and said with a wry smile, "Hang'er has become much more diligent since experiencing the Heavenly Punishment, and no longer acts recklessly like before. He's not lacking in talent; he was just too lazy before."

"Alright, just take care of yourself then."

Wan Lei said.

Sui Potian was worried about Sui Xiaohang, after all, his cultivation was too low. He emptied his family fortune and gave him many defensive magical treasures, and even personally made a jade pendant that could withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators, before he let him go with peace of mind.

Because Wan Lei and the other's cultivation was low and their speed was not fast, they were not as good as those Core Formation cultivators of the Wan family, so they had to set off today.

Before parting, Wan Hongxin instructed, "Be careful on this trip. It is said that there are treasures and cultivation methods left behind by Nascent Soul realm cultivators in that cave. That senior lived in the cave for many years, so there should be something left behind.

"This is also what attracts experts from other forces. The space inside is very large. It is said that the cave where such experts live, even the small ones, are as big as a city. Where exactly that Lightning Refining Pool is located will require patient searching.

"You don't have to worry too much. The things left behind by that expert are probably not very good. The major forces don't pay too much attention to it, and mostly send some young disciples to train.

"You can see from the fact that the Wan family only sent Core Formation experts from the Southern Mansion this time. The Core Formation experts from the Main Mansion didn't move, but the Main Mansion and the other three Mansions sent out some Foundation Establishment young disciples to train.

"When the time comes, you will naturally see the disciples from the other Mansions."

"Okay, when I see people from the Wan family, I just won't kill them."

Wan Lei nodded and said.

"You little brat, you have a big mouth. Go quickly, be careful on the road, your father will be there in a few days."

Wan Hongxin scolded with a smile.

The mountain village was located on the southern border of the Southern Mansion of the Wan Clan. Wan Lei and Sui Xiaohang flew south for a short time before leaving the Wan Clan's territory and entering the territory of the Duanmu Clan.

Having arrived here, this was the truly dangerous place. Sui Xiaohang rummaged through the pile of treasures that Sui Potian had given him and found two human face masks. After the two put them on, disguised, they set off towards the south.

Along the way, they bypassed villages and towns where the Duanmu Clan gathered, and traveled on small roads, although it took a lot of time, it was safe.

Soon, it was night.

The two did not rest, and continued to fly south along the mountains.

"Be careful, there are people ahead."

Wan Lei keenly noticed that there seemed to be people fighting in the mountains ahead.

"Let's go around, don't cause trouble."

Sui Xiaohang said cautiously.

"Don't, let's go take a look. I can feel that those people are not strong.

"Let's restrain our aura and go watch the fun. If someone is bullying the weak, we can do some good deeds."

Wan Lei said with a smile.

When Sui Xiaohang heard about doing good deeds, he perked up. He was afraid of being struck by Heavenly Punishment, so he was particularly motivated to do good deeds and accumulate merit.

The two restrained their aura all the way and carefully sneaked over. After reaching a place five *zhang* away from the battle area, the two hid quietly behind a large rock.

At the same time, the two also saw clearly the battle in the field.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was fighting with seven or eight Initial Force realm cultivators. There were also three or four corpses lying on the ground.

The corpses on the ground and those who were fighting were dressed the same, all in guard attire, and only one youth was dressed gorgeously.

Those guards had firm expressions and desperately blocked the enemy, but the youth had a panicked face, constantly shouting for the guards to go up and kill the enemy.

And that Foundation Establishment cultivator, dressed in black close-fitting clothes, with a black scarf covering her face, had a slender figure, holding a giant axe in her hand, and each swing would bring up a burst of lightning, it was...

"Qi Manyao?"

Wan Lei and Sui Xiaohang whispered in unison.

"Why is this little brat here?"

Sui Xiaohang looked at Wan Lei in surprise.

"How would I know? Let me think about it. She is a Heavenly Punisher, specializing in killing evil people. The youth in brocade clothes has a pale face and looks like a playboy.

"Well, that must be it. Qi Manyao is here to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and kill that youth."

Wan Lei analyzed calmly.

Sui Xiaohang nodded greatly and quietly watched the excitement. With Qi Manyao's cultivation, killing these people was definitely easy, and they didn't need to lend a hand.

But... something doesn't seem right... Why should they help Qi Manyao?

"Lei-shao, didn't you say that Qi Manyao has always wanted to kill you? Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to kill Qi Manyao by taking action at this time?"

Sui Xiaohang asked.

"To be precise, I don't want to kill Qi Manyao. Although she wants to kill me, she is actually a trustworthy person, just like Wan Liuchuan.

"What's more, the mysterious Core Formation expert was nearby last time, and he might be here this time. If he takes action, I will definitely die."

Wan Lei said.

"That's true, then let's watch quietly."

Sui Xiaohang said.

On the battlefield, Qi Manyao was very fierce, and killed three more guards like cutting melons and vegetables. At this time, only four guards were left beside the youth in brocade clothes.

"Hero... Senior, let's talk things over. I can give you whatever you want, gold, silver, treasures, spirit stones, magical treasures, I can give you anything. I am a direct descendant of the Duanmu family. My family is rich, really, don't kill me!"

The youth in brocade clothes begged for mercy.

"Hmph, you have done many evil deeds and lost all conscience. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and take your dog life!"

Qi Manyao, as if reciting lines from a martial arts drama, was full of punishing evil and promoting good, showing her chivalrous demeanor.

She raised the battle axe in both hands and killed the youth in brocade clothes again.

Wan Lei gritted his teeth in the dark.

This silly girl hasn't improved at all. If you're going to assassinate, then assassinate. You've been fighting for so long and you're still revealing your voice. Are you really not afraid of attracting the experts from the Duanmu family?

Qi Manyao did not spare the youth in brocade clothes. Soon, she killed all of these people.

After doing all this, Qi Manyao didn't rush to leave. Instead, after scanning the battlefield, she gently tore off her mask, leaned against a big tree, and began to vomit violently.

This scene stunned Wan Lei.

Little girl, could this be your first time killing someone? You're so disgusted? You should run away quickly. Assassins don't leave immediately after killing someone. Are you waiting for the target's family to come out for revenge?
