Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

Two years is but a fleeting moment for any cultivator. However, for Guang Xiaoyu, it felt as if a long century had passed. Although she firmly believed her Senior Brother was still alive, not seeing him filled her heart with anxiety and unease. Now, he had returned.

She was very excited. "Senior Brother!"

"Now, go out the main gate and accept the challenge from a young man from Chong Tower. You don't need to kill him; defeating him will suffice," Chen Pingping said.

"Okay!" Upon receiving Chen Pingping's order, she immediately got up and walked out, taking Zi Ji with her.

Those around were surprised. She had just arrived, so why was she leaving already? In the past, they had only heard of Guang Xiaoyu but had never met her in person. Now that they finally saw her, they wanted to get to know her better!

「Meanwhile!」

Chen Pingping had already returned to his room.

Soon after, Guang Xiaoyu indeed walked out of the main gate, accompanied by Princess Zi Ji.

Mr. Liu Xing was surprised. "How did you manage that?"

Chen Pingping just smiled without saying a word.

Liu Xing didn't think much of it and leaped down to approach Guang Xiaoyu.

At that moment, Long Street was crowded with people coming and going, bustling with activity. Among them were some young geniuses who had traveled from afar, about to step into this mansion.

But when they saw the old yellow ox and recognized Guang Xiaoyu, they couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Chong Tower, Liu Xing, here to challenge," Liu Xing declared loudly, not hiding his identity or origins, his eyes filled with confidence.

RUSTLE!

The many passing geniuses all turned to look in this direction, their mouths gaping in disbelief.

Chong Tower? Since when does someone from Chong Tower openly declare their challenge? And is he challenging Guang Xiaoyu? Good heavens! Has he lost his mind?

Even Earth Level assassins had died at Guang Xiaoyu's hand. Even someone like Murong Hua, who was infinitely close to the Heavenly Level, had also been effortlessly suppressed by her.

The geniuses stopped in their tracks, watching intently.

Zi Ji was shocked. Unaware that this was Chen Pingping's plan, she thought people from Chong Tower had come to kill them again, and her hand clenched nervously.

"It's her!" From the edge of the crowd, Liu Yuhui happened to see this scene, his mouth falling slightly open in surprise.

Aside from Chen Pingping, Murong Hua, and Li Pu, he was the only one who knew Guang Xiaoyu's true identity.

Seeing someone from Chong Tower challenging her, Liu Yuhui felt worried.

Next to him, Zhou Boyi's eyes widened, his expression unreadable. If Guang Xiaoyu is here, and that ox is here, then... are you here as well? he thought.

He had indescribable feelings for Chen Pingping. Was it recognition? Or a sense of kindred spirits?

Two years ago, he had witnessed powerful figures from the Holy Land departing with Chen Pingping. From that moment, he knew Chen Pingping might have met with disaster. He felt downhearted but was powerless to do anything.

"Chong Tower is about to take action," Liu Changqing said, his gaze profound. This mysterious organization, renowned for its assassinations, never openly challenged anyone, especially targets on their list. But Liu Xing challenging Guang Xiaoyu like this—does it mean Chong Tower is about to make a major move? After all, both Guang Xiaoyu and Zi Ji were on their list. Not only that, but Guang Xiaoyu had also killed an Earth Level assassin and Murong Hua, which was tantamount to openly challenging Chong Tower's dignity in front of everyone. If Chong Tower were to swallow its pride, it wouldn't be in line with their style.

「In another corner.」

Diwu Qingrou grinned. "Chaoge City isn't like other cities. It's a melting pot. If she dares to act so openly, it will surely attract the attention of certain people. For instance, the senior leaders of Chong Tower, the surviving powerful members of the Bai Family, or even some formidable loose cultivators. Although the Bai Family's foundation had been destroyed, a few members who were away at the time managed to escape the calamity. They had been seeking opportunities for revenge ever since."

「Atop a tall building.」

The plainly dressed Alan walked forward, carried by the breeze, murmuring, I wonder if the Yuan World is related to the Demon Flower?

"Okay!" Guang Xiaoyu agreed without hesitation.

Liu Xing was taken aback for a moment. Too straightforward, he thought. "Aren't you going to ask who I am?"

He was somewhat speechless. Not even asking? Is that normal procedure? Definitely not! She should have asked. Then he would have announced his identity, heritage, and name. Only after defeating Guang Xiaoyu would his name be remembered. Otherwise, what's the point of starting a battle like this?

Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "No need!"

"No, I must introduce myself." Liu Xing insisted, his face stern as he began his serious introduction, "From Chong Tower, a genius of the younger generation, hailed as the one-in-a-thousand-year..."

Everyone: "..."

Guang Xiaoyu couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and slashed out with her wooden sword.

He exclaimed, "Wait, you actually launched a sneak attack on me!"

The cultivators watching all had dark expressions. A killer from Chong Tower actually complaining about someone else launching a sneak attack on him? Have some shame!

The sword descended, its Power Path immense.

The overconfident Liu Xing looked horrified. Before he could defend, his body was sent flying.

So strong! How is this possible? he thought, a bit stunned. Guang Xiaoyu wasn't what I had imagined. Although her realm is still in the early stage of Divine King, the Power Path she unleashed is at least at the level of the latter stages!

Liu Xing's eyes were wide with astonishment.

HUM!

Guang Xiaoyu's second Sword Slash came swiftly.

At that very moment, Chen Pingping, hidden in the shadows, also made his move. His guess had been correct: Liu Xing was indeed just a decoy, with many killers lurking in the dark. They were high-level. They were positioned at different locations, waiting for the right moment to strike, hoping to take Guang Xiaoyu by surprise during her battle with Liu Xing and kill her.

Little did they know, Chen Pingping was also secretly watching.

With one hand operating the Heavenly Book, he easily located their positions. Before they could strike, he drew his sword and slew each of the powerful killers. Among them were middle-aged men, burly men, youths, old women, and decrepit old men. There were twelve in total—a formidable lineup, all waiting for a single command, a single opportunity.

Unfortunately, with the Heavenly Book in hand, Chen Pingping located them and killed them one by one.

However, the last time he operated the Heavenly Book, a thick fog obscured his vision, and a potent Power Path shot out from within it.

Chen Pingping's face changed drastically.

In a certain corner, a young girl in red coughed up blood, her face pale. Behind her stood several high-ranking experts from Chong Tower, cloaked in black robes, their faces indiscernible.

The girl in red spoke, "They are dead." Her voice trembled, and her body shook. Her expression was grave, filled with disbelief at this turn of events.

In the past few hundred years, Chong Tower had rarely engaged in large-scale operations. But this time... it was to kill two young girls: Guang Xiaoyu and Zi Ji.

But she had never expected that just as their plan was put into motion, the killers lurking in the shadows would be wiped out.

Just now, when operating *Insight*, she had barely caught a glimpse of a page from the Heavenly Book.

Damn it!

The girl in red took a deep breath and said, "This person is extraordinary; he was able to locate our people using the Heavenly Book. You all go and prepare the arrangements. Wait for my command!"

The Stealth Skill is akin to returning to one's original, simple state, completely concealing one's aura and fluctuations, even suppressing the Dantian. Coupled with a personal disguise, even an Imperial Sovereign expert walking down Long Street might not be able to detect them. And yet, that person had located each Chong Tower killer using just a page from the Heavenly Book. This was inconceivable, defying all common sense.

She moved to the edge of the crowd, examining the surrounding buildings. Her gaze finally settled on an inn directly opposite the mansion's main gate—the very place where Chen Pingping was.
