The Sky Poison Pearl
The Black Demon Group

“Young Brother Yun, you are only sixteen years old! Not only did you marry at such a young age, you also had a girl who sacrificed her life for you. I've seen a lot of capricious men in love and passion, but this is still the first time I've seen a man as young as you.” Lan Xueruo said with a laugh. With regards to Yun Che's "wife" identity, he was very aware. It was because he had sent someone to the New Moon to investigate Yun Che's entire background. The fact that his wife Xia Qingyue became a disciple of the Eternal Cloud Palace, was known to everyone in the Floating Cloud city. This also made the Xia Family a part of it, to indistinctly become a gigantic figure in the Floating Cloud City that no one dared to provoke. Anyways, anyway,

Yun Che smiled, but refused to comment as he asked in response: "Then does Senior Brother have someone he likes?"

"I? Of course not. ” Lan Xueruo pursed her lips and laughed.

"Well, how lucky you are not to have it, otherwise I will die of grief." Yun Che heaved a sigh of relief, and even his expression slightly loosened.

“... You bad boy! I'm not wrong when I say you're fickle about love. Lan Xueruo lifted her nose to reprimand. After which, she raised her attractive face as her expression showed a hint of longing: “That I, your Senior Brother want to marry in the future will definitely become an unparalleled hero capable of conquering the world. A wishful-minded boy like you is nothing at all. Anyway, you're married.”

After speaking to Yun Che for a while, he could clearly sense that he was imposing himself and hence, he did not continue to disturb him. After walking out, he gently closed the door.

"Interested in the things they're guarding?" Jasmine suddenly asked as soon as Lan Xueruo left.

"Of course!" Yun Che replied with his eyes closed: “Since the phoenix essence is here, there is a high chance that it is something that the phoenix left behind! Ancient divine beast! Even if it was a feather, it would also be a very deep level! Now that outsiders had found out about this place, even if they did not get what they were protecting, there was still a high chance that they would spread the word about this place. When the time comes, who knows whose hand it will land.”

“Hmph! How could an ordinary human dabble in something possessed by an ancient divine beast. Jasmine coldly snorted in disdain and then did not speak anymore, as if she was giving a good warning to Yun Che.

Amidst the silence, Yun Che examined the wounds on his body before immersing his consciousness into the Sky Poison Pearl to find a dozen or so herbs. After melting it for a while, he obtained a lump of pitch-black gelatinous substance. He rubbed it evenly over his left shoulder before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

When Yun Che woke up again, it was already noon on the second day. He was awakened by the chaotic sounds coming from outside.

If you are smart, then hurry up 

unseal the back mountain! You are a guardian family here, you definitely have a way to undo it! Don't make us force you to do it!” There was a rough sound that carried an extremely ferocious threat.

“The seal is always there and honestly we don't know what it is! Especially a way to cancel it! We are just a small clan living here in seclusion. If we do have some kind of treasure, why would our clan be reduced to such a miserable state. It was Feng Baichuan's voice.

"HA HA HA HA HA! Do you think we are three years old? Who will believe your lies! Today, our chairman and deputy ketu come in person. If you continue playing dumb, see if we will exterminate your entire clan!”

These sounds…

Yun Che immediately sat up from his bed. Although his left shoulder was still sore and less flexible when moved, it was much better than yesterday. Most of the small wounds on his body were almost half healed and his body was no longer as weak as it was yesterday; at least he had no problem walking normally now. Just when he wanted to get off the bed, the door of the room was pushed open and Lan Xueruo hurriedly walked in. Seeing that Yun Che was already awake, he anxiously said: “Not good, Young Brother Yun, the Black Demon Group has come. Today. They have brought over a hundred people and completely blocked the entrance of the village.”

"Why are they so fast?" Yun Che frowned.

"The leader of the Feng Clan and the others were also unprepared, but now the entire clan is taking precautions." Lan Xueruo's expression was filled with anxiety.

At that moment, another wave of loud roars came from outside:, “Is the little beauty from yesterday here! There's no treasure? That's good too! Just give up that little beauty first! Let's uncle have fun first, and maybe we'll even forget about the treasure, hahahaha.

Waves of laughter sounded from the distance. Yun Che's brows locked in a frown ... He finally understood why this "Black Devil" mercenary group had come to attack so quickly ... It was clear that they, too, were not sure if this place had the so-called treasure here. From the might of the people here, anyone in their right mind would conclude that even if there was a treasure, it would not be that good. But yesterday Lan Xueruo had fought three people from this mercenary group and Lan Xueruo's beauty was so great that it shocked them to think that she was a heavenly being. The reason why they rushed here was not for the treasures but rather Lan Xueruo! They were afraid he would leave if they came a little later.

"This group of bad guys!" Lan Xueruo bit her lip as her face reddened in anger: “Young Brother Yun, you are still injured so you should stay here and rest. Don't come out no matter what. I'm gonna go teach them a lesson.

If Lan Xueruo had immediately killed those three people yesterday, it would not have resulted in an impatient attack. But Yun Che could not blame Lan Xueruo; after all, she was still a woman. He pulled Lan Xueruo back and asked with concentrated brows: "How much cultivation level are the people in this mercenary group?"

“There seems to be a requirement to enter; each of them are all above the Basic Realm! The one with the lowest strength was at the first level of the Nascent Realm. There were over eighty between the first and fifth levels, and over thirty of them were above the fifth level of the Nascent Realm. Also, four more, who should have been their chairman and vice chairman, should have already reached the True Realm.” Lan Xueruo replied while furrowing her brows. With such a lineup, it was basically impossible for Feng Baichuan and the others to be able to withstand them.

True Realm...” Yun Che took a slight breath as the hand holding Lan Xueruo stiffened: “No! you can't leave! you heard what they shouted before; the motive of their visit was most likely for you. 

“They have blocked the exit of the village so we won't be able to escape even if we want to. Moreover..maybe I can still handle them with enough effort.” As Lan Xueruo said that, she stretched out her hand and took off the pearl necklace on her neck. Immediately after, his energy quickly rose under Yun Che's shocked gaze: “The pearls on this necklace are known as 'Pearl Locking'. When worn, it was able to suppress the strength of its wearer by as much as five ranks. My actual cultivation of power is at the third level of the True Realm. They won't be able to hurt me easily.”

Lan Xueruo's energy change surprised Yun Che. He asked in astonishment: "Senior brother, why are you ..."

“I chose to do it because I didn't want to attract too much attention. By the way, you stay here and I'll think of an idea to get you out of here.

Although Lan Xueruo had finished and was about to leave, she was pulled back by Yun Che: “Even if Senior Brother has the power of the True Realm, the opponent has four people in the True Realm! Although I can't say for sure, their average levels can also be higher than yours. If there's no way to get out of this, I'll go with you.
