"That's impressive skill."
Just then, a man's voice suddenly sounded.
"Who!" Yun Lang spun around abruptly.
He found it was actually a young man, walking slowly towards him.
"It's you?"
Xie Qiye, an inner disciple of the Taichu Sect?
Yun Lang had been too focused on cultivating the Eight Desolations Sword Art, he hadn't even noticed someone approaching him.
"I've witnessed your prowess. Today, I wanted to see you. Do you have time to chat with me?"
Xie Qiye had also won this competition, and was a companion who would later journey with them to the secret realm.
However, upon hearing of Yun Lang's fortuitous encounter, he had hurried here to visit him.
After all, to many inner disciples of the Taichu Sect, Yun Lang was a rather enigmatic figure.
"I have time, but I'm not sure about your purpose."
Yun Lang casually sheathed the Tianling Sword back into his storage ring, then smiled at the person before him.
"As I said, we'll both be going to the secret realm. For now, let's get acquainted so we can help each other later."
"Oh! Have you visited others as well?" Yun Lang asked curiously.
He hadn't expected Xie Qiye to be in such good spirits. The secret realm was fraught with danger, yet he still had the inclination to make friends.
"Them?" Xie Qiye shook his head disdainfully. "I look down on them. However, I'm solely interested in you."
It was well-known that Lin Ruxue of Snow Peak no longer accepted disciples.
Yet, for Yun Lang, she had made an exception and taken him on as a direct disciple.
Coupled with his performance on the martial stage, it was clear he possessed considerable ability.
If it weren't for this, it could have posed a danger to them, and that was the most crucial aspect.
Seeing this, it couldn't help but cause some difficulty, as any trouble that arose would surely not be so simple.
Ultimately, they would all face dilemmas, and everyone understood the many challenges that lay ahead.
If Yun Lang's performance hadn't been so outstanding, Xie Qiye wouldn't have come here.
"Speak. What do you want to know?" Yun Lang asked, puzzled.
Since he had already come, it would be very unpleasant to not see him.
It was precisely for this reason that he wanted to understand the other person's situation.
As expected.
At this moment, Xie Qiye stood before Yun Lang, his face full of curiosity.
"You're only at the second level of the Foundation Establishment realm. How could you so easily defeat Li Jun, who is at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm?" Xie Qiye inquired.
Xie Qiye had been present when they competed.
Witnessing what he could do, he couldn't help but feel curious.
After all, they were all unaware of the true circumstances. If there was indeed a problem, it would surely be helpful to them.
However, it was unfortunate that the current predicament benefited no one.
Yet, at the critical moment, it was beyond their control and might even lead to more trouble.
"Haha, perhaps he was just too careless," Yun Lang chuckled.
Did he have to tell them about the system's blessings he possessed?
Even if he did, they might not understand.
"No! You're definitely not telling the truth," Xie Qiye shook his head.
Although he didn't know what had happened, Xie Qiye could feel that the true qi within Yun Lang was exceptionally potent.
"I know Li Jun's strength. He's absolutely not as simple as you describe," Xie Qiye said, shaking his head.
Clearly, Yun Lang was deceiving him, otherwise, his tone wouldn't be like this.
However, even so, they would still face greater trouble.
When that time came, anyone would be able to see it.
"Right, I heard you also killed Wang Long. I wonder..."
"Do you think I would have a reason to do that?" Yun Lang asked, confused.
If he had truly killed Wang Long, with Li Jun's strength, how could he have escaped?
Any discerning person could see this.
It was just that the Wang family couldn't accept it, as it was their family member who had died, and their eagerness was understandable.
"You... you really didn't do it?"
Xie Qiye exclaimed in surprise.
It had spread among the inner disciples that Yun Lang had killed Wang Long.
Now, Yun Lang was denying it, and combined with their own assessment, it indeed didn't seem like Yun Lang's doing.
If it wasn't related to him, then there might truly be an issue with the other party.
Such trouble would undoubtedly be the most fatal for them.
Regardless of what happened, they would worry about the current situation, and this was the most troublesome outcome.
"Do you think it's possible that it was me?" Yun Lang asked, puzzled.
Facing the other's skepticism, he surely had his own thoughts.
But if a problem truly arose, it would certainly not be the outcome they desired, and could even lead to trouble.
"I think it's unlikely, because what Li Jun said is too fabricated," Xie Qiye shook his head.
Yun Lang's strength was such that even if Li Jun had a chance to escape, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Moreover, at present, everyone understood how much trouble lay ahead.
It was just that they didn't know how to face the situation, otherwise, they would have stepped forward to seek revenge long ago.
Wang Ba, as an elder supervisor of the Taichu Sect, naturally possessed his own authority.
"However, even so, your situation is still dangerous. You know that Jiang Feng, who will accompany us to the secret realm this time, is a top expert among the Wang family disciples."
"I don't care how powerful he is. If he wants to fight me, I won't let him off," Yun Lang said fiercely.
After all, he understood the current situation. Even if trouble arose, it wouldn't be like this.
It couldn't help but become difficult. If danger arose, they would still have to step forward to resolve it.
"Alright, there's no need to say more."
Yun Lang shook his head.
Things had already happened, and no amount of talking would change anything.
Besides, they were unable to deal with it, and when danger struck, they wouldn't know how to face it.
"You... you should think carefully. Jiang Feng's strength is far superior to ours, not something Li Jun can compare to."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful then. But if he wants to deal with me, it's highly unlikely," Yun Lang said with a smile.
However, at this moment, Xie Qiye's ability to come to Snow Peak to inform him of this matter indicated that he harbored no hostility towards him.
If there were trouble, it wouldn't be the current outcome, and more problems would arise.
"Fine. Since you have your own ideas, I won't disturb you any further."
Xie Qiye sighed.
He bid Yun Lang farewell and then left directly.
