It was just the second day before the end of the Outer Sect training.

Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming coincidentally ran into Zhan Huaping.

This Artifact Refining genius who had been stripped of his Storage Bag and all his possessions by Liou Yuan.

Without his handy Magical Artifact and being wounded by Liou Yuan, he could only muster the strength of Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer to kill some Star Creepers and collect stone beads.

Only to be blocked by Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming.

The outcome was predictable; he was cleaned out again.

As Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming left, this once proud Artifact Refining Pavilion genius was so furious that he vomited blood profusely and fainted with white eyes.

"Is he really that angry?" Qiu Ming scratched his head as he looked at Zhan Huaping’s still twitching body, with an odd expression.

They had robbed so many people, but none had been so mad they’d vomit blood.

Liou Yuan smiled in silence.

How could he not be angry? His treasures were all snatched away, and he was stripped clean.

Having killed some Star Creepers, he was already out of the top ten, only hoping to pass this Outer Sect training.

But who knew he’d be robbed by Liou Yuan again.

As tomorrow was the last day of the Outer Sect training, he likely wouldn’t pass the standard line and would be dispatched out of Five Extremes Mountain.

This enormous disparity, no one could stand it.

Of course, Liou Yuan didn’t say these things; they continued to plunder stone beads.

Because the Outer Sect disciples were wary of them, the stone beads they could snatch became fewer and fewer.

On the last day, Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming no longer rushed around but returned together to the canyon where Liou Yuan had set up the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, ready to quietly wait to be transported back to Five Extremes Mountain.

Coincidentally, as the two dusty travelers arrived outside the canyon.

From afar, they saw two figures standing gracefully at the gorge entrance.

They were two women, one clad in blood-stained clothes, her brows and eyes picturesque but her expression cold and severe, filled with Evil Qi.

The other one was tall in tight black attire, with fair skin and notably handsome brows, full of heroic spirit.

The heroic girl was naturally an old acquaintance of Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming, the Zhao Family’s Five-Star Star Acupoint Zhao Feiyue.

As for the woman in blood-stained clothes, she was Yan Yingsi, the Disciplinary Hall’s feared star whom Liou Yuan had focused on before entering Erosion Land.

Liou Yuan didn’t know why the two were together; seeing them standing closely, their relationship must be unusual.

And it seemed they had been waiting here for a long time. It was clear whom they were waiting for.

Liou Yuan raised an eyebrow, exchanged a glance with Qiu Ming, and saw caution in each other’s eyes.

Yan Yingsi’s reputation was well-known in the Outer Sect, with Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer strength, having never lost a match against Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer disciples.

Though Zhao Feiyue wouldn’t do anything to them, Yan Yingsi’s tyrannical nature was less predictable.

Both felt alert, but Liou Yuan outwardly maintained a spring breeze demeanor, stopping ten feet away from the two women, then warmly smiled and saluted Zhao Feiyue, saying, "Miss Zhao, long time no see, still as spirited as ever."

Though he was speaking to Zhao Feiyue, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Yan Yingsi beside her.

This woman’s aura was extremely dangerous, a danger emanating from inherent strength.

Not comparable to Zhan Huaping, who relied on the advantage of Magical Artifacts.

While Liou Yuan silently focused on Yan Yingsi, the latter’s scarlet eyes also showed interest in him, with a faint smile on her lips.

"How does this junior compare to you, senior? I’ve slightly heard of what you’ve been up to in Erosion Land, Mr. Liou."

With not a hint of estrangement in Zhao Feiyue’s tone, her voice remained clean and crisp, but it carried a clear note of teasing.

"I heard you wielded a sword to fight off two opponents, managing to kill the Liou Family’s Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Liou Fang and Liou Tao."

"Along the way, you also dealt with the obstructive Zhan Huaping."

"Even Miss Yan praised your skills highly."

She didn’t know the details of the battle between Liou Yuan and Liou Tao, having only caught the scene where Liou Yuan killed Liou Tao upon arrival.

Thus, the intense battle with the two from the Liou Family was probably hearsay.

Regarding the Miss Yan mentioned in her words, who else could it be but Yan Yingsi beside her?

"Haha, rumors can’t be trusted." Liou Yuan laughed heartily, passing it off with vague remarks.

Then Liou Yuan pretended not to know Yan Yingsi, smiling warmly at her.

"This must be Miss Yan Yingsi, Mr. Yan."

Finally able to openly scrutinize this rumored female star.

Their gazes each flickered with indigo shades, while her pupils showed an eerie scarlet glow.

One had a warm smile, secretly fierce.

The other cold-eyed, Evil Qi unmasked.

Fortunately, it was the last day. Liou Yuan had collected a large number of stone beads, thus no need to act.

Additionally, Yan Yingsi was brought by Zhao Feiyue, and Liou Yuan had some pride, making it unlikely he’d act.

Yet judging by Yan Yingsi’s demeanor, she seemed itching for action as she appraised Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming, causing the red glow in her eyes to intensify.

"What are you trying to do!" This scene startled Qiu Ming, causing his expression to change as he bellowed, his brown light flashing as he prepared.

Liou Yuan instinctively pressed his hand on the Canglan Sword at his waist, his expression turning fierce.

He wouldn’t act rashly, but it didn’t mean he was actually afraid of Yan Yingsi.

Her shift was noticed by Zhao Feiyue, who frustratingly tilted her head toward her, "Miss Yan, remember what you promised me before."
