"Little girl, you have quite the knowledge."

With a light laugh, a middle-aged man casually stepped out of the void. Much like Chi Xiao, this middle-aged man had a robust build, truly like an eight-foot-tall strongman, exuding a wild aura. Combined with his overwhelming demon qi, it was evident, without explanation, who he was.

"Saintess Luo Qingxuan of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, greets the senior."

These Transformed Great Demons, after taking human form, usually preferred to present themselves as people of the Human Race and disliked being referred to as demons.

At this moment, Luo Qingxuan did not wish to provoke the other party, hence she respectfully addressed him as "senior."

Revealing her identity was also intended to put some pressure on the other party to prevent him from acting rashly.

After all, the title of Saintess of Profound Moon Sword Sect represented the sect itself. Killing Luo Qingxuan could easily invite retaliation from Profound Moon Sword Sect, and even a Transformed Great Demon was unwilling to provoke the Four Great Celestial Sects.

"No wonder you could beat that Chi Xiao boy to a pathetic escape; turns out you're the Saintess of Profound Moon Sword Sect!"

With a chuckle, the Transformed Great Demon said nonchalantly, "Unfortunately, you're out of luck... I, Xiong Ying, have good relations with the people of the Divine Court. Capturing you and sending you there should earn me quite a reward!"

Xiong Ying.

Upon hearing the name, Luo Qingxuan understood that the other's true form must be a Bear Demon, as the Demon Race liked to give themselves such names after transforming.

As for that Deserter Chi Xiao with Demon bloodline, he was likely Xiong Ying's offspring.

"Buzz!"

Almost simultaneously with his words, a piercing sword light suddenly tore through the void, shattering it, cutting through the space sealed by Xiong Ying's demon qi!

"Knowing that she's the Saintess of Profound Moon, how dare a mere Transformed Great Demon like you, who isn't even a Demon King, threaten the Saintess of our sect?"

Stepping forward, Luo Bingyun's eyes glinted with coldness, and she spoke icily.

In normal circumstances, Luo Bingyun wouldn't reveal herself, but the Transformed Great Demon was enough of a threat to Luo Qingxuan's safety, so she couldn't just stand by.

She had come into the Extreme North Wilderness with the disciples of Profound Moon Sword Sect to guard against precisely such situations.

"I was wondering who it was, turns out to be Luo Bingyun. I know you; you're a Path-Entering Powerhouse!"

Slightly startled, Xiong Ying immediately guessed Luo Bingyun's identity but still maintained a nonchalant demeanor, saying, "If Qu Lishang were here, I'd certainly have to flee, but you, Luo Bingyun, may not necessarily be my match!"

"Besides, do you dare to make the first move against me?"

Xiong Ying himself was a top-notch Transformed Great Demon, just one step away from becoming a Demon King. Even in the whole world, he was among the top powerhouses. He definitely had the strength to contend with a Path-Entering Powerhouse and was naturally unafraid of Luo Bingyun!

Moreover, this was the Extreme North Wilderness. If someone like Luo Bingyun were to make a full move, it would certainly alert the Divine Court!

By then, if the experts of the Divine Court rushed over, Luo Bingyun would be in big trouble!

"I have no intention of being your enemy. If you retreat now, I can pretend nothing happened," Luo Bingyun replied coldly. "Otherwise, you can try to see if I can kill you before the people from the Divine Court arrive!"

At this moment, Luo Bingyun also exuded an exceptionally aggressive aura.

While a top Transformed Great Demon was indeed fearsome, she wasn't truly concerned. If not for worrying about the Divine Court, she wouldn't even bother talking to him.

"I said you're out of luck!"

Facing Luo Bingyun's threat, Xiong Ying chuckled, repeating himself.

After saying this, Xiong Ying immediately turned and shouted into the valley, "Ni Liang, if you don't show yourself now, I'll let them go for real."

Upon hearing this, even Luo Bingyun's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Haha, Brother Xiong, don't be upset, here I am,"

In the midst of his words, a Deserter casually walked out from the valley, giving a smiling glance at Luo Bingyun, "When I received the news yesterday, I was wondering who the Profound Moon Sword Sect would send. I didn't expect it to be you!"

"Luo Bingyun, we're somewhat acquainted, haven't seen each other in twenty years, and it seems your skills haven't improved much!"

Her pupils slightly contracted as Luo Bingyun recognized him as well.

A top expert of the Divine Court, Ni Liang had participated in the battle at Jubei City twenty years ago and had even faced off with Luo Bingyun. Although he lost back then, he still managed to escape back to the Extreme North Wilderness.

Though they hadn't seen each other in many years, both had grown stronger, yet neither had entered the Saint Realm.

If it were only Ni Liang, Luo Bingyun wouldn't be afraid, but with Xiong Ying involved, she couldn't confidently claim victory. Of course, if she were on her own, they wouldn't be able to stop her, but given the current situation, protecting both Luo Qingxuan and the disciples of Profound Moon Sword Sect would be excessively challenging.

This was truly some terrible luck.

They had only been in the Wilderness for five days and already encountered a powerhouse like Ni Liang.

"Qingxuan, take the disciples of our sect back to the sect immediately; I'll hold them off!"

In an instant, a hint of killing intent flashed in Luo Bingyun's eyes as she commanded coldly.

At this point, Luo Bingyun showed extreme decisiveness. Even with low odds of victory, she had no choice but to fight the adversaries to give Luo Qingxuan and the others time to escape.

"Why bother? Even if we fight, at best you'll be left with a pyrrhic victory... Instead, why not come to the valley as a guest, drink tea, and reminisce, while leaving the fights among the juniors to them, what do you say?"

Smiling again, Ni Liang suggested.

"Ni Liang, what exactly do you want?"

Glaring at him, Luo Bingyun could not help but ask again.

"Isn't that a question for you to answer?" With a shrug, Ni Liang smiled, "It was your people from Profound Moon Sword Sect who entered the Extreme North Wilderness, not me stepping into the Northern Domain."

"..."

As they spoke, a few Bear Demons suddenly fled back from the distance.

With a slight twitch of his eyelids, Xiong Ying said calmly, "Looks like quite a few disciples from Profound Moon Sword Sect have come. In that case, let's all head to my Bear Valley; I wish to see the skills of this generation of Profound Moon Sword Sect disciples."

"Alright! Then let's go; just hope the senior won't regret it when we've killed all your subordinate demons!"

Before Luo Bingyun could respond, Luo Qingxuan readily agreed.

On one hand, she didn't want her master to take a risk; on the other, infiltrating the valley might provide the chance to get more information from Ni Liang and Xiong Ying.

Moreover, provided Luo Bingyun could hold these two strong foes at bay, she and the disciples of Profound Moon Sword Sect might just handle the Demon Race within the valley.

"You do indeed possess some of the Saintess's charisma, very well... Follow me then!"

With a note of admiration, Xiong Ying turned and headed straight into the valley.
