"Huh?" Xiaoqing suddenly let out a light exclamation; she had just sensed Li Xiaoyao's presence in the western direction. However, just as Xiaoqing had confirmed the direction of Li Xiaoyao, his presence eerily vanished. "What's going on?" Even with Xiaoqing's experience, she was puzzled by this situation. Human Realm is a separate space carved out; it doesn't belong to the Mortal Realm. Once Li Xiaoyao entered the Human Realm, even Xiaoqing would be unable to trace his whereabouts. "Could he have encountered some danger?" This thought had just arisen when a wave of excitement emerged from the depths of her consciousness. Xiaoqing felt somewhat helpless; ever since she entrusted the part of her soul that had separated to Li Xiaoyao for protection, she found that this part of the soul had developed a strong dependency on him. So much so, that after merging the souls, even Xiaoqing's own spirit was somewhat affected. At least, now Xiaoqing harbored no intent to kill Li Xiaoyao anymore. "What on earth could have happened to this kid?" Muttering to herself, Xiaoqing decided to go and see for herself. ... "Enter the Human Realm, kill him!" Zhou Lu pronounced each word, filled with boundless intent to kill. This idea was immediately met with agreement from the others, and Long Yan said, "Then let's go in." "If Li Xiaoyao suffers the slightest injury, I will have your lives to answer for it!" Li Pingshuang roared at the few men after parting ways with the Yuan Ling mage with a palm strike. Yuan Ling stood in front of him and turned back, "I'll hold him off, you all enter the Human Realm and kill that little bastard!" Zhou Lu and the other two gave Li Pingshuang a cold smile and then one-by-one disappeared into the Human Realm. The sects and families that were originally participating in the Human Realm experience watched as what should have been a normal session turned into the current mess, all speechless and uncertain what to do next. To leave or to stay? The Human Realm had just opened for less than three days when this incident happened, which effectively cut their training time in half. Although they felt reluctant, they dared not say anything more. But they did not leave; after all, the battle of the Guardians of the Human Realm was a rare sight. Li Pingshuang confronted the Yuan Ling mage without moving to continue the fight. The difference in strength between the two men was not big, and it would not be easy to determine a winner. Even if he could defeat Yuan Ling, there were still Zhou Lu, Long Yan, and Luo Er to contend with. Li Pingshuang alone could not ensure Li Xiaoyao's safety. All he could do now was wait for the arrival of the Li Family's Offering Elders. As long as Li Xiaoyao could last until then, there wouldn't be anything to fear. "Master, do you think they can kill Li Xiaoyao?" "What's Li Xiaoyao? He's just a young upstart, but isn't killing him as easy as slaughtering a chicken when every Guardian of the Human Realm has reached the Spirit Condensation Realm?" The Sect Leader felt heartache responding to his disciple's naive question; the situation was so clear and yet such a foolish question had been asked. "This time, I'm afraid Li Xiaoyao has no chance of escape; does he think entering the Human Realm will keep him safe? How naive." "Which cultivator that has reached the Spirit Condensation Realm doesn't have a physical cultivation at the level of a Transverse Refinement Grandmaster? Does he think he can escape the pursuit of these old timers just because spiritual energy can't be used in the Human Realm?" There stood nine disciples from the Xuan Sect, all with tense expressions outside the Human Realm, praying in their hearts for Uncle Li. In such a situation, apart from praying, they did not know what else they could do. Li Pengcheng let out a wry smile and muttered to himself, "I admit, you're very strong, and if it were a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't stand a chance. But even so, this time you definitely won't have any possibility of survival." Just the thought of Li Xiaoyao being killed within the Human Realm brought a surge of joy to Li Pengcheng's heart. But before he could laugh out loud, Li Yiming had already appeared before him, his face cold as he said, "I will discuss this matter with the Clan Leader. If we follow clan rules, the lightest punishment would be stripping you of your cultivation level." Li Pengcheng was taken aback, then glared with wide eyes and said, "Are you saying Li Tu's words alone can be taken seriously? Without evidence, it's slander, and I won't admit to it." Li Yiming gave him a deep look and said, "Evidence? Heh, don't worry, there will be evidence." Watching the retreating figure of Li Yiming, Li Pengcheng couldn't help but clench his teeth and curse, "Damn old guy." ... Within the Human Realm, as soon as Li Xiaoyao entered, he immediately found himself deep within dense mountain forests. Here, he didn't need to deliberately conceal his aura, because even with his formidable spiritual power, he was unable to detect others' traces. Li Xiaoyao walked to a big tree and sat down, just about to focus on making a breakthrough, when suddenly a rustling noise came from the nearby underbrush. "Sssss~" Seeing the demon beast's appearance, the corners of Li Xiaoyao's mouth curved into a smirk as he said, "A Spirit Cultivation Realm Black Tailed Crown Snake, just in time for use during my breakthrough." Li Xiaoyao got up, facing the ten-meter-long Black Tailed Crown Snake without a trace of fear. The Black Tailed Crown Snake's gaping maw opened wide, constantly hissing, an intimidating sight. Upon seeing this human approach it proactively, a glint of murderous intent flashed in its slender green eyes. It coiled its upper body slightly before propelling itself fiercely towards Li Xiaoyao. With a swift sidestep, Li Xiaoyao evaded the strike with great precision, and at the same time brought his two fingers together to viciously jab at the beast's underside. The Black Tailed Crown Snake looked down at Li Xiaoyao with disdain, holding his attack in utter contempt. As the ruler of the demon beasts in this region, with command over several dozen demon beasts, it had extraordinarily hard scales. Even a full-powered strike from a Cultivator of the Abstinence Realm might not leave a mark on its scales. To this snake, the human before it didn't seem to pose any threat, so it didn't pay much mind to his attack. But when Li Xiaoyao's fingers made contact with its body, an unbearable colossal force poured out from his fingertips like a flood, instantly piercing a bloody hole in the snake's belly. "Hisss!" The Black Tailed Crown Snake's body stiffened. Its pupils filled with fear as blood oozed continuously from its wound, and its life force rapidly drained away. The snake twisted its body, attempting to flee. "Trying to run?" Li Xiaoyao chuckled, leapt up, and instantly landed both feet on the huge snake's tail. The excruciating pain from the immense force made the Black Tailed Crown Snake wail continuously. Li Xiaoyao drew the Seven Star Ancient Sword, wielded it with a swing, and chopped off its head. The massive body of the Black Tailed Crown Snake collapsed powerlessly on the ground. Li Xiaoyao sheathed the Ancient Sword and casually moved to collect its body into his Storage Ring. Just as he was about to pick up the snake's head, a bright green light suddenly flickered from inside it. "What's this?" Curious, Li Xiaoyao used the Ancient Sword to split the snake's head in two, and an irregular green crystal rolled out from within.
