The two daring and skilled individuals followed several shadows.

Due to the significant difference in realm, the man in gray ahead didn't notice he was being followed.

Moments later, the man in gray already arrived outside the city.

Not far away, a massive manor stood tall.

The high walls of blue bricks were covered with moss and vines.

The plaque above the red gates was carved with the ancient characters 'Cyan Cloud Manor,' and there were many guards with swords at their waists safeguarding the perimeter.

Inside the manor, ancient pines and green bamboos filled the area, with artificial hills and flowing water scattered about.

As one walked deeper along the winding path, fierce quarrels could faintly be heard.

"Xu Haoyin, release my people!"

"Hmph, he foolishly attempted to steal the Black Deer Spirit, which my Xu Family captured at great cost.

If we don't kill him, everyone in the future would think they can steal from us; how could my Xu Family stand in Tai City then?"

"The Black Deer Spirit was originally discovered by my Su Family. We shared the information, agreeing that several families would capture it together. Everyone would have a share. But your Xu Family hid it away privately, violating the agreement..."

Lou Yi and Shi Caifeng climbed a tall tree, concealing themselves within the branches and leaves, quietly observing the developments in the courtyard.

The two confronting groups.

One group was large and powerful, led by a young man in a blue cloud-patterned silk shirt.

Behind him followed many subordinates wielding various weapons.

Judging by the aura they emitted, even the weakest among them was a Blood Warrior.

The most striking figure was a middle-aged man in yellow attire with bound hair.

He held a blood-colored treasure saber, his demeanor arrogant, his qi-blood abundant, faintly surpassing Sha Hu whom Lou Yi had previously slain. He was clearly a Great Circulation Martial Artist of profound accumulation.

The young man in blue stood with a foot placed on someone, a sinister smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Beside him, a small black deer knelt, its fur gleaming as if oiled, its eyes swirling with intelligence.

The other group appeared much more ragged.

Led by a young girl in a white dress, surrounded tightly by six or seven martial artists, with numerous bloodstains on their bodies.

The strongest was a burly, ugly woman.

Clad in iron armor, with broad shoulders and a sturdy back, her face was marked with multiple scars.

Only her flat Adam's apple and slightly raised chest suggested any female characteristics.

But her aura was significantly inferior to the yellow-clad man opposite, and her eyes were highly vigilant.

'It's her!'

Upon seeing the girl in a white dress, a hint of peculiarity flickered across Lou Yi's face.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Tian Sushii, whom he had wanted to meet but couldn't, right here.

Beside him, Shi Caifeng, being exceptionally sensitive as a woman, moved her lips slightly. Though no sound came out, Lou Yi could discern her meaning from her lip movements.

"You know her? Your lover?"

Lou Yi was speechless, unwilling to engage with this gossiping woman.

In the field, the conflict continued unabated.

"Release the Wind Chasing Sword now!" Although Tian Sushii hadn't practiced martial arts, her momentum was not weak, her eyes resolute, "What do you want, Xu Haoyin? Silver or treasures?"

The blue-shirted man referred to as Xu Haoyin stood on a man, motionless and unknown whether alive or dead.

"Miss Su, that's no way to ask for a favor." Next to the blue-clothed man, another elderly man in gray with a long beard spoke, "Moreover, the Wind Chasing Sword trying to steal Xu's Family's Black Deer Spirit is unforgivable in itself."

"Old dog Qian!" Instantly, everyone beside Tian Sushii glared angrily at the old man.

"If it weren't for you, how could the plan have failed this time?"

"Traitor! Traitor!"

Hearing the curses, the gray-haired old man was not the least bit angry. Instead, he said proudly, "You should be thanking me. If I hadn't stopped you in time, it might have led to a bigger..."

"Die!"

Before he finished speaking, a man with a saber beside Tian Sushii couldn't hold back and rushed at him.

'Puff!'

A red light flashed.

The saber-wielding man's eyes widened, his body split into two and fell to the ground.

"Dare to commit violence in front of the young master, seeking death!"

Beside Xu Haoyin,

a lean saber-wielding man in gray swiftly struck, deftly killing the opponent.

He sheathed his saber, his eyes icy, his speed so fast that few present could even see it clearly.

Judging by his cultivation, he was clearly a Small Cycle Martial Artist.

"Xiao Meng's saber is still that fast." Xu Haoyin, the young man in blue, loosened his foot from the unconscious man beneath him and walked towards Tian Sushii.

"Silver, being the eldest son of the Xu Family, would I lack silver?"

"Treasures, what treasures haven't I seen?"

"If you want me to let this Wind Chasing whatever go, you must give me what I want. Unless you're willing tonight..."

Xu Haoyin took great strides towards Tian Sushii.

Looking at her skin, more delicate and fair than jade, his eyes shone with intense greed and desire, and he couldn't help but reach his hand forward to touch it.

Tian Su's expression changed, and she hurriedly stepped back.

"Stop!" the Iron Armor woman roared angrily, wielding an iron rod and smashing it fiercely towards Xu Haoyin.

'Clang clang clang!'

The slender man in grey clothes and the Iron Armor woman clashed, their bodies almost merging into one before quickly separating.

'Puff!'

The man in grey half-knelt on the ground, using a knife to support himself, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "Iron Maiden, truly a worthy reputation."

"Hmm?" Xu Haoyin frowned.

'Swoosh!'

The strongest man in yellow on his side finally drew his saber, engaging with the Iron Armor woman, and within just a few exchanges, slashed her away with a single stroke.

The Iron Armor woman's armor shattered, revealing several deep wounds on her body, visible to the bone, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood with a 'wah', her expression listless.

"One of Xu Family's Four Famous Sabers, the Blood Saber." Shi Caifeng silently mouthed the person's identity to Lou Yi.

'Four Famous Sabers?' Lou Yi's heart stirred; he had indeed heard Zhan Weida talk about it.

The Xu Family is called the first family in Tai City,

not only because Old Master Xu of the Soul Shattering Saber presides over them but also because under his command are the Four Saber Masters, who constantly handle the dirty and tiring work.

They are the Celestial Blade, Overlord Saber, Shadow Blade, and Blood Saber.

The current Blood Saber is a Great Circulation Martial Artist, and even among those of the same stage, incredibly formidable, comparable to Sha Hu.

"Xu Haoyin, don't go too far!" someone beside Tian Su growled, "In broad daylight, don't commit such beastly acts!"

"Beastly? Haha! Since I'm doing it now, who can stop me?"

Xu Haoyin grew more arrogant, swaggering toward Tian Su, reaching out to grab her.

The people beside Tian Su stepped forward, but were all slashed away by the Blood Saber one by one.

"What do you want?" Tian Su was somewhat panicked, not expecting the opponent to be so shameless, "If you touch me, the Su Family won't let you off easily!"

"Oh, then I'll take you as a concubine by the way, anyway, many in your family would like to see that, haha."

Xu Haoyin's face displayed a crazed and lewd smile.

To him, Tian Su looked like a lamb on the chopping block.

The more she resisted, the more excited he became.

Seeing the opponent getting closer and herself helpless, a trace of determination flashed in Tian Su's eyes.

With a dagger against her chest, she would rather die than let this villain succeed!

Just then.

'Bang!'

A person descended from the sky, landing steadily with two feet on the ground.

No, it should be said that only one foot touched the ground.

The other foot stomped on the head of the recently showcased slender man in grey.

The man's head was completely crushed, his body flopped like a fish on land, clearly in more intake than outtake.

"Oh, there's even a Black Deer Spirit, I'll take it." Lou Yi said with a rough smile.

"Who are you?" The Blood Saber stared intently at Lou Yi's plain face masked with a human skin mask.

The saber was already out of its sheath, nervously shielding Xu Haoyin behind.

"Just passing by, noticed your deer." Lou Yi replied.

Hearing this, Blood Saber's expression flickered, unable to discern Lou Yi's true level.

When the opponent attacked, the Qi-Blood was already exposed, clearly only one Blood.

But how could a Blood Warrior possibly kill a Small Cycle Martial Artist instantly?

Even he couldn't do it!

"You bastards!"

An expert from the Xu Family couldn't help but charge at Lou Yi from behind, raising a falchion aimed at his neck.

'Puff!'

Without even turning his head, Lou Yi twisted his waist slightly, chopping with his axe effortlessly splitting the adversary in two, intestines, organs, blood spilling everywhere.

Seeing this, Xu Haoyin's previously relaxed face also turned exceptionally serious.

And the Blood Saber in front of him, his expression grew more somber.

Xu Haoyin and the Blood Saber exchanged a glance, understanding the intention of this great expert in their family, and grudgingly said, "Fine, take the deer."

Unable to gauge Lou Yi's strength, Xu Haoyin decided to play it safe for now; as they say, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him.

As for later...

He set his heart on revenge, determined to make Lou Yi pay back tenfold, a hundredfold, as Xu Haoyin was not someone to be wronged lightly!

At this moment, Lou Yi also spoke: "After taking so long to consider, do you think little of me, 'Proud Celestial Monarch'?"

Upon hearing the boastful nickname 'Proud Celestial Monarch,' Xu Haoyin, Blood Saber, and others couldn't help but twitch their facial muscles.

Blood Saber clasped his fists politely, "I would never dare to look down upon you..."

But was directly interrupted by Lou Yi, whose face turned furious: "It seems, only by killing all of you, will others be warned, and know the might of me, 'Proud Celestial Monarch.'"
