"Right side?"

Li Yuan said, "It said the right side!"

Then, Li Yuan led the Demon Mastiff towards the right.

The crowd looked at Young Master Li in shock.

Young Master Li was skilled in beast taming, and this was confirmed as he could understand the demon beast's language.

Xiaohai: ...

So, it was once again led by Li Yuan to the right.

...

The crowd walked intermittently, and before long, they actually exited Silver Creek Square and arrived outdoors.

Once outside, the aura became easier to distinguish.

The Demon Mastiff happily led the way, and soon they arrived at an abandoned and dilapidated fisherman's hut by the riverside.

The Demon Mastiff stopped, looking at the hut, wagging its large tail.

Clearly, the target was inside this hut.

Li Yuan confirmed that Lin the Fourth and two others were inside.

At that moment, he suddenly turned his head and locked eyes with a slim figure hiding behind a tree not far away.

It was a slender man with sharp eyes, and the scent of women's perfume wafted from him, while above his head floated the words "60~64."

Both sides immediately recognized each other's identity.

Li Yuan realized that this man should be the Wild Honored Guest.

Ruan Ahfei also realized Young Master Li's divine techniques were vast, somehow managing to find them.

He didn't alert those inside the hut, suddenly turning around and sprinting away, his toes tapping on the grass, as if gliding on its tips.

Li Yuan said, "Old Zhou."

Zhou Jia suddenly raised his eyes, his body arched like a hunting leopard, gripping the knife handle with his right hand, and with explosive speed stomped on the mud, leaving a plume of dust behind, pursuing the fleeing Ruan Ahfei swiftly.

Li Yuan began to slowly approach the wooden hut with the others.

Inside the hut, movements became clearer, then suddenly fell silent.

Soon after, a tall man holding a battered middle-aged man walked out, Chang Kui glanced at the incoming group and then around, already understanding the situation.

Ruan Ahfei hadn't warned him, but he wasn't surprised.

Chang Kui lifted Lin the Fourth, then croaked hoarsely, "The man, I didn't kill him, leaving him here. I will immediately leave Shanbao County, is that alright?"

Li Yuan glanced to his side; Qian Da was vigilantly watching the distance. He was now Ninth Grade, though not in Perfection, yet able to fight. However, upon seeing Li Yuan's gaze, he seemed puzzled.

Another accompanying Outer Disciple named Yue Spirit approached, and whispered, "Young Master Li, this man is called Chang Kui, a newly arrived Tributor, tasked to go to Datong Square."

Li Yuan nodded, glanced at the "62~70" comprehensive value on him, and said, "Put the man down, I'll count to ten. If you can escape, then escape; if not, don't blame me."

Without another word, Chang Kui suddenly tossed the man forward.

"Qian Da."

Li Yuan shouted, and Qian Da immediately ran out to catch Lin the Fourth.

Li Yuan then bent the bow, nocked the arrow, accomplishing it all in one breath.

The arrow shot out instantly, Chang Kui hurriedly turned, swung his Curved Blade, and with a "ding" sound, knocked the arrow away.

This situation didn't surprise him...

And the many Blood Saber Sect disciples beside Li Yuan charged forward with their swords.

Due to resource restructuring, among them were Eighth Grade Early Stage disciples, such as Yue Spirit, Yu Mao, and Tian Feng...

Leading them was Yue Spirit, who held her sword and swiftly dashed toward Chang Kui.

Chang Kui certainly didn't want to fight, continuing to run.

Li Yuan shot another arrow.

This arrow, Chang Kui could no longer evade, having to defend against it once again.

However, this slowed him down, and he was soon surrounded.

The Blood Saber Sect disciples closed in.

Chang Kui could only rely on the Eighth Grade Blood Shirt to endure, but found that continuing this way wasn't viable. He attempted to break through several times, but Li Yuan always interrupted his rhythm with arrows, preventing his escape.

On the other side, Qian Da had already rescued Lin the Fourth, checked him over, and shouted, "Young Master Li, he's alright."

Chang Kui wanted to shout but had no opportunity.

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and roared, a red aura enveloping him, and his boots thumped the ground fiercely. Like a mad bear oblivious to all, he took a harsh blow and then charged directly at Li Yuan.

He had realized the situation; without capturing Young Master Li, he couldn't leave today.

As for capturing him, he definitely intended to take Young Master Li out of Shanbao County, and naturally kill him later to vent his wrath.

After all, once he left, he wouldn't return, ignoring the Blood Saber Sect.

Li Yuan watched the charging brute, releasing the Beast Horn Bow, and seized the Horse-Cutting Blade handle.

The Long Blade unsheathed, its bright cold light flashing.

"Rolling Grass Slash!" Chang Kui screamed, suddenly crouching, his palm striking the ground, coupled with stomping power, he shot forth like an arrow, the Curved Blade "wooing," directly targeting Li Yuan's lower path.

This slash not only wasn't weakened due to exhaustion but instead strengthened under crisis, almost appearing as if about to break through during actual combat.

A flicker of joy and fury flashed in Chang Kui's eyes, but he immediately saw a slash coming down.

The dazzling sword light in the storm resembled lightning piercing the sky, unstoppable in power and speed, in an instant it descended on him, then ruthlessly tore through Chang Kui's strength, cleaving him from head to toe, splitting him in two along his spine.

The pursuing Blood Saber Sect disciples were somewhat stunned by the bloody scene.

Li Yuan slowly sheathed the Horse-Cutting Blade, gazing at the corpse on the ground, said, "So foolish, didn't you realize your power was mostly exhausted? A spent force, daring to come kill me?"

Then, he contemplated for a moment, looked around at the disciples, and asked, "Why did we kill him?"

The disciples were momentarily perplexed, then one said, "He challenged Blood Saber Sect order, disrupted Silver Creek peace, he..."

Li Yuan looked at Qian Da.

Qian Da understood, saying, "He recklessly captured people, used private punishment, and when discovered, directly attacked us, intending murder to silence us! If not for Young Master Li's exquisite sword skills, he might have succeeded!"

Li Yuan added, "He was supposed to go to Datong Square but didn't...

After being caught, he immediately launched a sneak attack on us, never intending to escape.

Did you remember that?"

"Yes!" the disciples quickly replied in unison.

Amidst the long grass, Lin the Fourth tiredly raised his eyes, calling, "Young...Young Master Li..."

Li Yuan looked at him, warmly saying, "Rest well."

Lin the Fourth trembled in voice, intermittently saying, "They...they asked about the brew...I said nothing..."
