Chapter 200 Departure

The killing intent of the forest seeped from Yang Tian's body, and his slightly ferocious face exuded a chilling aura.

Without hesitation, Yang Tian dashed toward the door, but his extreme speed was instantly caught by a jade hand, and his body stiffened.

Meng Yunxi smiled bitterly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yang Tian's cold gaze, and couldn't help asking, "Are you going just like that? Two War Emperors—going there is nothing but suicide!"

"Even if I die, I must go. What if something happens to my big brother? I won't give up even if there's only a glimmer of hope." Turning his head slightly to look at Meng Yunxi's concerned face, a warmth surged in Yang Tian's heart, and the coldness on his face dissipated largely.

Hearing this, Meng Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then clenched her jade hand and said with a wry smile, "Wait for me here. I'll be right back. Don't leave."

His gaze falling on Meng Yunxi's departing back, Yang Tian took a deep breath, puzzled about what she was going to do. Although their relationship was good, it was absolutely impossible for her to break ties with the Li family for him; the Meng family would not go to great lengths.

Just as Yang Tian was pondering, a graceful figure appeared at the door. Yun'er rushed over anxiously, and seeing the lingering chill on Yang Tian's face, a sense of foreboding immediately rose on her cheeks.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong? Sister Yunxi just left in a hurry. Did something happen?" Yun'er looked at Yang Tian with concern and asked urgently.

"Little girl, I'm fine." Yang Tian looked at Yun'er with a gentle gaze, forcing a smile on his face.

Seeing the forced smile on Yang Tian's face, Yun'er raised her arm and said, "Brother Yang, don't lie to me. Are you going out? Take me with you. I can set up formations and help."

"I'm really fine. Stay here obediently and don't leave. If your constitution is discovered, even your Thundercloud Sect will be implicated." Yang Tian shook his head slightly.

"No, I want to go. I can help. They can't kill me; I have energy sealed inside me by my master." Looking at Yang Tian's somewhat grave expression, Yun'er shook her head, her eyes suddenly becoming stubborn.

"This..." Seeing this, a look of urgency appeared in Yang Tian's eyes. This trip was no joke; he wouldn't be as lucky as last time. Yang Xiao's soul body couldn't withstand much turmoil.

"She's right. The energy sealed in this little girl's body can indeed be mobilized, enough to withstand a War Emperor!" Just as Yang Tian was in a dilemma, Yang Xiao's voice slowly sounded.

Hearing this, Yang Tian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can you unleash the energy in your body?"

"Yes. My master said that the sealed energy in my body will be directly triggered at the moment of life and death, so they can't hurt me at all." Hearing the hint of agreement in Yang Tian's voice, a joyful expression surged on Yun'er's little face.

Pursing his lips, Yang Tian said, "I can take you, but what about your appearance? If you're discovered, some strong experts will definitely intervene, and it'll be even more troublesome. Better stay here."

"Don't worry, I have this." Yun'er raised her jade hand, revealing six golden stones, each the size of a thumb, like amber, radiating golden light and containing vast energy.

Under Yang Tian's puzzled gaze, Yun'er tossed the six golden stones into the air. Her small hand waved, and a strange luster leaped from her fingertips, all surging into the golden stones.

To Yang Tian's stunned eyes, the six stones directly merged into Yun'er's body. As a golden light emanated from her, her entire appearance underwent a dramatic change.

"How is this possible?" Looking at Yun'er's appearance, which was only two-tenths similar to her original face, Yang Tian wouldn't have known it was her if he hadn't witnessed it.

Her beautiful eyes looking at Yang Tian's expression, Yun'er gave a playful smile: "My master gave this to me. It can conceal aura and change appearance. Even my father can't see through it. Impressive, right?"

"It is somewhat impressive." Pursing his lips, Yang Tian smiled and asked in his heart, "Uncle Xiao, can you see through Yun'er's appearance?"

"This is a formation, known in ancient times as a human formation. The six golden stones she threw were made from Sun Gold and nurtured by a supreme expert. I can't see through it."

"Sun Gold!" Hearing this, Yang Tian couldn't help clicking his tongue. Sun Gold was an extremely hard refining material; even a tiny amount mixed into artifacts would greatly boost their power. And these six stones were entirely made of Sun Gold—a staggering expense, enough to exchange for a divine material!

"The human formation on her not only conceals aura but also specializes in attack and killing. With her current Foundation Establishment cultivation, she can roughly match a War King. You'd better step up your game, or your little girlfriend will surpass you, and even I'll lose face..."

"Hiss..." Hearing this, Yang Tian gasped, a chill running down his spine. Yun'er usually didn't need to cultivate; she just had to accept the energy in her body. This speed of leapfrogging was terrifying.

"This is the benefit of inheritance. When can I get some?" Pouting, Yang Tian couldn't help admiring.

"The benefits are indeed great, but breaking through the cultivation of an inheritor is extremely difficult. Without special opportunities... it's hard. Of course, the energy sealed in her body is extremely powerful; even at my peak, I would have to admit inferiority."

"Yun'er's master was also a terrifying expert in ancient times." Yang Tian couldn't help but marvel. Even Yang Xiao said such things, showing that Yun'er's master was no ordinary character.

After about half a cup of tea, Meng Yunxi's graceful figure appeared in the room. Her gaze immediately caught the stranger inside, and she glanced suspiciously at Yun'er, wondering how a stranger had gotten there.

"Sister Yunxi, you can't recognize me, can you?" Seeing this, Yun'er smiled triumphantly, her voice like silver bells, full of joy.

"Yun'er." Hearing this, Meng Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then she put on a stern face and said, "Nonsense! What are you going there for?!"

"Hehe, Brother Yang has already agreed. Yun'er will be fine, don't worry." Making a funny face, Yun'er giggled, seemingly unfazed by Meng Yunxi's expression.

"Why are you joining in the mischief?" Hearing this, Meng Yunxi turned her gaze to Yang Tian, her brows furrowed.

Shrugging, Yang Tian said helplessly, "Don't worry. The energy of a strong expert is sealed inside Yun'er's body. She won't be in danger."

"Are you sure she won't be in danger?" Meng Yunxi asked skeptically.

"Rest assured. Even if something happens to me, I'll send Yun'er out safely." Nodding, Yang Tian's face turned serious.

"As long as you're confident. If something goes wrong, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. It's not too late to back out now." After a moment of silence, Meng Yunxi sighed.

Then, she tossed out a jade slip and said, "This is an attack jade slip. I had a hard time getting it. Today, I'll sell it to you. Remember, I'm selling it, not giving it."

Hearing this, Yang Tian scratched his head, a warmth rising in his heart. He said slowly, "Thank you. I'll repay you tenfold in the future."

"Alright, stop rambling." Waving her hand, Meng Yunxi smiled slightly. "Remember to keep your life. You owe me money. If you die, who will I collect the debt from?"

"Heh, I have a tough life. I won't die easily." Shrugging, Yang Tian said indifferently.

"Follow me. This place is a thousand miles from the Dark Forest." Looking at the two, Meng Yunxi sighed and led them toward a secret chamber.

In the underground chamber, a thousand zhang deep, was a massive formation with a cyan energy barrier, runes flickering on it—a teleportation array.

"This array leads directly into the Ten Thousand Mountains." Looking at the array, Meng Yunxi smiled. "Once there, just use your token to pass through."

Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded, casting a grateful glance at Meng Yunxi. Then he and Yun'er stepped into the teleportation array.

"I hope you return safely." Sighing, a trace of worry appeared on her charming face, evoking pity...
