The aura of the black-clad figure before her was terrifying, even surpassing the Peak of Perfection. Just from the presence alone, Shangguan Biyue knew she didn't stand a chance against him.

Not someone from this world? Could it really be a ghostly apparition?

With this thought, Shangguan Biyue asked again, "Who exactly are you?"

"I am an existence you cannot reach. If you know what's good for you, come with me. Don't make me act, or you will suffer!" The black-clad figure said indifferently.

"What grudge do I have with you?" Shangguan Biyue asked, perplexed as to when she had offended someone so terrifyingly powerful.

The black-clad figure's deep eyes stared at Shangguan Biyue, narrowing slightly, "You have no grudge with me, but those named Xiao do!"

"Xiao?" Shangguan Biyue exclaimed.

"That's right!" The black-clad figure nodded, "He will know where I take you, but whether he can save you depends on his ability. However..."

"However, what?"

"However, I think he won't have the chance!"

With that, the black-clad figure's hand suddenly reached for Shangguan Biyue, a palm containing endless pressure. The palm had yet to reach her, yet Shangguan Biyue was already groaning continuously, unable to fathom the power of this strike.

Under such a Palm Seal, she would either be captured or crushed to death. Those were the only two outcomes.

Shangguan Biyue still resolved internally, even if it meant death, she wouldn't become a hostage used to threaten Xiao Tianyu.

Swish~

Suddenly, a cold light flashed. In the next second, Shangguan Biyue's short blade in her hand slashed toward her own neck, clearly intending to commit suicide. The black-clad figure remained calm upon seeing this.

"I didn't expect that for him, you would be willing to die. It's a pity you won't have the chance to commit suicide!" As the voice fell, a terrifying power of restraint suddenly immobilized Shangguan Biyue, making her feel as if every major acupoint had been sealed, unable to move.

The opponent's method truly gave her a sense of powerlessness, not even allowing her to die by her own hand.

Just as Shangguan Biyue was on the verge of being captured, a voice suddenly broke through the air: "Get lost!"

The voice, with a destructive storm, pierced everything, reverberating within the black-clad figure's soul.

"Get lost, get lost, get lost..."

The sound waves continued to pierce, vibrating through the black-clad figure's mind, causing his face to turn pale as if feeling his soul about to be torn apart by the sudden sound wave, completely on a different level.

Spurt~

The next second, the black-clad figure spat out a mouthful of blood, showing a look of shock: "So strong!"

At this moment, it seemed a young, dashing man in a perfectly tailored suit appeared in the depths of his soul. This youth stood there casually, as if his unfathomable eyes saw through everything about him, causing him to feel an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

No matter how much he tried to crush it with willpower, he could not dispel the image of the suit-clad youth from the depths of his soul, as if it had imprinted itself there.

Too powerful.

The black-clad figure believed that with just a wave of the other's hand, he would be obliterated and disappear from this world.

This was an irresistible existence, at least an Earth Level Realm expert, with such powerful sound wave penetration. But how could Huaxia have an Earth Level Realm expert? Could it be him?

No, he's just trash from the Xiao Family. Even if he could cultivate, he couldn't become this strong in just fifteen years.

After struggling for a while, the black-clad figure finally sent out a thought: "Who are you? May I ask..."

"Get lost, or die if you don't!"

The voice directly shook the black-clad figure's mind, making him spit out another mouthful of blood and leave immediately, deeply aware that the other was not joking—stay, and death would follow.

Shangguan Biyue was equally in shock, with just a voice, the unfathomable black-clad figure was forced to spit blood and depart in disgrace. Who then was the owner of this voice? How powerful were they? Who in Huaxia would extend a hand to save her, Shangguan Biyue, in times of distress?

Tianyu?

Was it Tianyu?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Biyue also found the voice somewhat familiar, yet her heart still trembled. To wound a peerless master with just a voice, how terrifying was Tianyu's power?

Of course, with the voice deliberately disguised, Shangguan Biyue couldn't be certain it was Xiao Tianyu. But aside from Xiao Tianyu, she couldn't think of anyone else who would come to her rescue.

Even if it was not Xiao Tianyu, Shangguan Biyue needed to figure it out. If it really was Xiao Tianyu, just how frightening was his true identity? The CEO of a mere Tianyu International could just be one of his many identities.

Immediately, Shangguan Biyue got into her car, stepped on the gas, and headed straight for Tianyu International.

Ten minutes later, Tianyu International.

Bang bang bang~

Xiao Tianyu was sitting in his office chair, resting with his eyes closed when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Xiao Tianyu opened his eyes and spoke calmly.

The door opened, and Zhao Xue and Shangguan Biyue entered together. Zhao Xue stepped forward and showed an apologetic expression towards Xiao Tianyu: "President, she..."

"Zhao Xue, you may leave first."

"Yes!" Zhao Xue cast a resentful look and glanced at Shangguan Biyue with displeasure as she departed, as if rivals meeting with heightened animosity.

"Weren't you going home?" Xiao Tianyu expressed surprise.

"Tianyu, don't you know what happened?" Shangguan Biyue asked.

"What happened?" Xiao Tianyu feigned ignorance.

Hearing this, Shangguan Biyue was confused. Wasn't it this guy who just saved me? But who else could it be if not him? Was it really not him?

Yet considering how terrifying the black-clad figure was, Shangguan Biyue seemed to be relieved. Even though the Twelve Flying Peng Castles Fortress Master was formidable, his strength seemed far inferior to that of the black-clad figure.

But if it wasn't Tianyu who saved me, then who in this open world of Huaxia would extend a hand to rescue me? Apparently, I have no other masters around me.

Seeing Shangguan Biyue lost in thought, Xiao Tianyu spoke up calmly: "What's wrong?"

"Tianyu, someone just attacked me. The opponent was terrifying and seemed like they were targeting you. Who have you offended out there, and when I thought I was about to be captured, a mysterious voice broke through the air, and just that voice made the opponent cough blood..."

"So, you came back to find out if it was me, right?"

"That is just one of the questions. More importantly, you need to be careful in the future. I doubt that person will just drop it!" Shangguan Biyue cautioned.

"Understood!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, his eyes showing no emotion, causing Shangguan Biyue to express confusion—how could he remain so calm, wasn't he afraid?

So, Shangguan Biyue asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid, but does it help? What is destined to come will come, so one must face it!" Xiao Tianyu replied calmly.

"Then can you tell me who you've offended?" Shangguan Biyue was very worried, because the black-clad figure she encountered tonight was truly terrifying. Although the figure only mentioned the surname Xiao, Shangguan Biyue was sure it was aimed at Xiao Tianyu.

After all, besides Xiao Tianyu, there was no one else with the surname Xiao around her.
