Jiang Yun looked at Xiong Ji, who was running towards him with injuries all over his body, and his face instantly darkened.

Who Was It? Who dared to hurt his disciple!!

Xiong Ji also saw Jiang Yun from afar, and his face revealed a look of joy as he sped up and rushed towards him.

Jiang Yun communicated with his mind, ‘Xiong Ji, get behind me.’

Xiong Ji realized that he could not control himself and flew towards Jiang Yun. He relaxed and finally landed lightly behind Jiang Yun.

At this time, the person chasing Xiong Ji also revealed himself. A black figure approached from afar.

Jiang Yun looked coldly at the black-clothed cultivator in front of him as if he was looking at a dead person.

The black-clothed cultivator, He Zhao. He Zhao cautiously stopped few meters away from Jiang Yun. He didn’t dare to act rashly.

Because Jiang Yun had turned the barrier transparent, He Zhao also saw the peach blossom land that looked like spring and summer inside the barrier, as well as a young man with an unfriendly expression.

He Zhao was a local cultivator who had reached the Psychic Realm. He had been to the mountain many times, but he had never seen this place.

He Zhao had some concerns, but he didn’t want to give up. He said, “Young man, that man behind you is not a good person. He stole something from me. Don’t protect him.”

“Oh? What did he steal from you?”

Jiang Yun asked. How could Xiong Ji have the guts to steal from someone whose realm was higher than his?! Who was he kidding?!

He Zhao didn’t want to expose the treasure that Xiong Ji took, and he sensed that the young man in front of him had no cultivation level at all. He assumed that young man was just an ordinary person, so he was a little displeased, “It’s none of your business. Ask your master to come out and talk to me!”

He Zhao subconsciously thought that Jiang Yun was a doorman.

“I am the master here. You injured my disciple, and you still dare to come to my door and shout rudely. You are simply courting death!” Jiang Yun was furious. His disciple who had just been accepted was being bullied. It was simply a slap to his face!

“You are the master of this place?” He Zhao was very skeptical about this, but when he saw Xiong Ji standing behind Jiang Yun, he started to believe. He was 70% convinced by Xiong Ji’s arrogant expression.

“Since this Black Bear Spirit is your disciple, then you should discipline him properly. He stole something from me, tell him to return it!”

When Xiong Ji heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red. He angrily pointed at Xiong Ji, “You’re talking nonsense! I was the one who defeated astral sparrow and got this. You’re trying to snatch it by force!”

When Xiong Ji said this, he took out the thing in his arms. It was an immortal herb that was completely red. On the top of it was a strange small bead that was emitting a faint light. With one look, one could tell that it was a good thing.

“Master, I really defeated its guardian spirit, astral sparrow to get this immortal herb. This person was hiding in a corner. When I got the immortal herb, he suddenly jumped out and said that I stole it from him.” Xiong Ji was afraid that Jiang Yun would not believe him, so he hurriedly explained to him.

Seeing that Jiang Yun nodded to show that he understood the situation and did not blame him, Xiong Ji felt relieved and quietly stayed behind Jiang Yun.

Xiong Ji had exposed the matter. He Zhao felt that he had lost face and became angry out of embarrassment, “This is something that belongs to the He family. We already knew that the immortal herb was there. It was just that it had not matured yet, so we sent people to guard it.”

“If that’s the case, then why didn’t you go out and stop him when he went to pick the immortal herb? Instead, you waited for him to get it before coming out.”

He Zhao was rendered speechless by Jiang Yun’s words. He knew that his statement wouldn’t hold water, so he simply threatened, “Do you know who my master’s family is? It’s the He family, one of the two major forces of Thunder City! If you don’t want any trouble, hand over the immortal herb!”

Thunder City? Jiang Yun felt that this name was a little familiar. It seemed like Yu Sisi’s family had been annexed by the two major forces of Thunder City.

So, he was an old acquaintance. Jiang Yun could not help but sigh at how small this world was. He casually sent a voice transmission to ask Yu Sisi to come over and recognize him.

He turned his head and deliberately provoked He Zhao. His tone was contemptuous, “What rubbish force? I’ve never heard of it. Are you guys like to snatch things from others. Tsk, tsk. How pathetic”

He Zhao was so angry that he didn’t know what to say, “You, you ignorant brat!”

He was about to fly up and teach Jiang Yun a lesson. However, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

He Zhao cautiously landed on the snow five meters away from Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun looked at where he landed and tried his best not to laugh out loud.

He Zhao was like a silly rabbit that had bumped into a wooden stake, and Jiang Yun was a farmer who quietly watched the dead rabbit.

“Teacher, I heard that my old friends are coming? Who are they?”

Yu Sisi remembered when her family was destroyed, and everyone deserted her overnight. What old friend she still had?

He Zhao recognized Yu Sisi the moment she got close, and his face turned green. He had sent many people to hunt her down. But in the end, those people had disappeared without a trace. It was very strange.

Yu Sisi also recognized He Zhao, and her eyes turned red as she glared at him. He Zhao did not dare to look at her.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun also had a guess and pointed ar He Zhao, “How is it? It’s an old friend, right?”

“Yes, an old friend. Yu Zhao, you actually still dare to see me? You despicable sc*mbag!” Yu Sisi was almost breaking out of tears. If it wasn’t for Yu Zhao acting as an insider, how could the Yu family’s old residence be breached?!

The bloody storm from that day reappeared before her eyes, and Yu Sisi wished that she could cut him into a thousand pieces.

He Zhao did not expect to see Yu Sisi, and his heart was in a panic. After being reprimanded by her like this, he spoke without thinking, “So what! The winner takes all. The Yu family is half-dead anyway. They would rather raise a trash like you than choose an heir from a side family. serves them right! Bah! What are you talking about? My surname is He now. My name is He Zhao. I’m a member of the He family!”

Yu Sisi did not expect him to be so shameless. Gu Tong Immortal Sword could feel the intense emotions of its owner. The light around its body shone brightly, and the sword aura pointed straight at He Zhao.

He Zhao sensed that Yu Sisi’s cultivation had already reached the Dharma Realm, and he was shocked. Originally, with Yu Sisi’s talent, it was impossible for her to reach this realm.

Then he remembered that Yu Sisi called that young man her teacher. His mind was full of thoughts, and he could not care less. He wanted to escape.

He Zhao circulated his spiritual power and was about to run, but he found that his feet seemed to have taken root on the ground.

The arrogance and viciousness on He Zhao’s face dissipated. He tried to pull out his legs in a panic, but it was useless. He was completely flustered.

Seeing his performance, Xiong Ji and Yu Sisi knew that he was already in Jiang Yun’s absolute domain.

Regardless of whether he was Yu Zhao or He Zhao, he was dead for sure!

He Zhao saw Xiong Ji and Yu Sisi approach him with ferocious expressions, but he could not move or use his magic power. He hurriedly begged for mercy, “Mr. Black Bear, I was wrong. I wronged you for stealing the immortal herb. Please let me go.”

He turned to Yu Sisi again, he wished he could kneel down and beg for forgiveness, “Sisi, listen to me. I was too jealous of you at that time, that’s why I did such a thing. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!”

But the two of them did not want to let him go. Jiang Yun simply did not care and let them vent their hatred on He Zhao.

“Nobody asked you to slander me. That was the immortal herb that I obtained with great effort. I was prepared to use it as a gift to my master. How dare you try to snatch it?!”

As Xiong Ji spoke, he transformed into his bear form and smacked He Zhao’s head with a thick bear paw. Immediately, a few deep bloody scars were left behind. He Zhao felt dizzy and one of his ears fell off.
