Whoosh...

A fiery red figure sped over from afar and landed next to Guu Lianxing.

This fiery red figure was none other than Gongsun Huowu dressed in fire-red attire.

"Gongsun Huowu," Xiao Yi lightly furrowed his brow.

"Lianxing, we absolutely cannot let this little thief Xiao Yi enter the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land." Gongsun Huowu looked at Guu Lianxing, speaking furiously, then coldly pointed at Xiao Yi.

Little thief Xiao Yi?

Just now, before Gongsun Huowu arrived, she had already shouted loudly.

Now that she landed, she spoke angrily again.

The surrounding Martial Artists finally confirmed they hadn’t heard wrong.

"Little thief Xiao Yi? Is it really that little thief Xiao Yi?"

"No way, has that guy come to Heavenly Star Dangerous Land too?"

"Rumor has it that he was expelled from the Academy twice, his character is terribly poor."

"No, no, no, I heard that back then he was lacking in talent but insisted on joining under the Heavenly Sword Peak. When he failed, he left in shame."

"Later, although he joined the Black Cloud Academy, his character remained the same. Even the Vice Dean of Black Cloud Academy could not tolerate him."

"That kind of guy, how does he even have the nerve to come here?"

The surrounding Martial Artists discussed spiritedly.

But among them, almost all bore contemptuous and hostile looks.

"Little thief Xiao Yi? That Young Master Xiao Yi?" Guu Lianxing on this side, frowned slightly.

Beside her, Gongsun Huowu said angrily, "Though you rarely go out, Lianxing, you must have heard of this little thief’s deeds."

Guu Lianxing nodded slightly.

"Letting such a little thief into the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land could lead to unpredictable disasters." Gongsun Huowu spoke coldly, staring at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, "Miss Huo Wu, don’t you think it’s very rude to point at people while speaking?"

Having said that, Xiao Yi looked at Guu Lianxing, "May I ask Miss Guu if I may enter the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land?"

"Of course you can." Guu Lianxing nodded slightly, "As long as Young Master Xiao Yi is a Martial Artist cultivating the Starlight Dao, he can enter..."

"Lianxing." Gongsun Huowu’s face turned anxious, "I said, you absolutely can’t let this little thief in."

"This person has a terrible reputation; letting him in could have unforeseen consequences."

Guu Lianxing shook her head, "These are the rules set by my father, I cannot change them."

"As long as you are cultivating the Starlight Dao, you can enter the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land for cultivation..."

"Lianxing, why can’t you understand?" Gongsun Huowu interrupted persistently, "This little thief not only has a notorious reputation, but also has many grievances with me."

"Anyway, I just don’t see this little thief in a good light."

"Cough, cough." Guu Lianxing, about to say something, coughed a few times, her already pale face turned even paler.

"Huowu, are you trying to upset me?"

Guu Lianxing’s voice was very gentle.

"Lianxing." Gongsun Huowu’s formerly angry expression turned to shock.

Her palm gently patted Guu Lianxing’s back.

"Okay, okay, I won’t argue with you, just don’t be upset."

Guu Lianxing smiled weakly hearing this, "By the way, why have you come here?"

"What do you think?" Gongsun Huowu replied peevishly, "Your health has always been fragile, whenever you come to dangerous places like Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, when have I not followed?"

"Hehe." Guu Lianxing smiled gracefully, "You must have come with Sister Yue and the others."

"Yes." Gongsun Huowu nodded, "They are behind. I was worried about you, so I sped up and came ahead."

As soon as Gongsun Huowu finished speaking.

From afar, another group of Martial Artists came controlling the air.

The leaders were a woman and a man, approximately 25 or 26 years old, with extraordinary aura.

Behind them, a group of Martial Artists with strong presence followed.

As soon as this group of Martial Artists landed, the leading woman and man walked up to Guu Lianxing.

"Sister Yue." Guu Lianxing called out first.

The man, on the other hand, looked at Guu Lianxing with concern, "Lianxing, why has your complexion become so pale? Did something happen?"

"No." Guu Lianxing shook her head.

"Hmph." Gongsun Huowu snorted coldly, "It’s not nothing, it’s clearly this little thief who upset you."

While speaking, Gongsun Huowu again angrily pointed at Xiao Yi.

"Hmm? Little thief?" Upon hearing this, the man’s face suddenly turned cold, staring directly at Xiao Yi.

"Heavenly Star Prefecture is about to open the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land, who dares to act impudently here?"

"Get out now, or don’t blame me, Ximen Guye, for being unkind."

"Ximen Guye?" The surrounding Martial Artists were shocked hearing this.

"Even Ximen Guye is here, the Heavenly Slaughter Mansion Young Master, ranked third among the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents."

"It’s said this person has always had an admiration for Lady Lianxing, no wonder he’s here."

The latter sentence was murmured quietly by the surrounding Martial Artists.

"Did you hear that?" Gongsun Huowu looked at Xiao Yi, sneering coldly, "He’s telling you to get lost, little thief Xiao Yi."

Gongsun Huowu looked at Xiao Yi with smug disdain.

Yet, she didn’t realize that the moment her words fell, the faces of the man and woman beside her changed.

"Little thief Xiao Yi? That notorious Xiao Yi?" The woman’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Ximen Guye’s body trembled, his originally cold face turned into one of intense dread.

At this moment, Xiao Yi furrowed his brow again, shaking his head.

Ignoring Gongsun Huowu and the others, he looked at Guu Lianxing, "I’ll ask once more, can I enter the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land?"

If not, he’ll leave, unwilling to waste time here.

Guu Lianxing nodded, "As I said, as long as Young Master Xiao Yi is a Martial Artist cultivating the Starlight Dao, he may enter."

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.

Gongsun Huowu’s face rushed with anxiety, she looked at Ximen Guye and the others.

Ximen Guye shook his head, making no further move.

"You..." Gongsun Huowu was angered, "Ximen Guye, what are you afraid of? The strong ones of Heavenly Star Prefecture are here, should you really fear this little thief Xiao Yi?"

"You don’t understand." Ximen Guye said, then fell silent.

With a look of dread, he glanced at Xiao Yi, then stood tightly by Guu Lianxing’s side.

But it was obvious that Guu Lianxing slightly moved her feet, creating a small distance between them.

"You, nasty little thief Xiao Yi." Gongsun Huowu stomped her foot in anger, "This Miss doesn’t fear villains like you..."

Gongsun Huowu hadn’t finished speaking.

In the air, a mighty killing intent suddenly arose without anyone knowing.

A cold voice appeared clearly in the air.

"Miss Huowu, do you truly think I’m easygoing?" Xiao Yi looked coldly at Gongsun Huowu.

"If I hear one more word of nonsense from your mouth, I don’t mind ensuring you never speak again."

Xiao Yi did not make it explicit.

But everyone present understood the meaning of his words.

"Never speak again" meant taking Gongsun Huowu’s life.

Gongsun Huowu heard this, instinctively about to retort, but upon feeling the terrifying killing intent in the air, her face turned white.

And when she saw Xiao Yi’s cold gaze, she froze.

Those icy eyes told her he wasn’t joking.

The fierce light in his eyes was like the gaze of a Fierce Beast.

Gongsun Huowu looked at those eyes, a cold sweat unknowingly streaming down her forehead.

"I... I..." Gongsun Huowu suddenly shivered, then her body weakened, collapsing to the ground.
