Long Shen answered. "We were not sure about it, but we had co to a conclusion. It must be sothing related to the Golden Mountain ruin."
"Where is this place?" Qingxuan asked.
Long Shen took out a jade slip and handed it to her respectfully.
Qingxuan read the content inside with her Spiritual Sense and said. "You should stay here for the ti being."
"Senior…?" Long Shen seed to know her intention.
Qingxuan stood up and looked at Yun Ruanyu. "I'll go out for a while."
Before Yun Ruanyu could reply, Qingxuan had already disappeared from the place.
"This…" Long Shen looked at Yun Ruanyu and didn't know what to say at the mont. He was embarrassed and guilty. If it wasn't because of him, Qingxuan wouldn't leave this place.
Yun Ruanyu smiled and said. "Thank you for helping us, Senior."
Long Shen shook his head slightly. "There's no need to say anything like this. I am here under Young Master Yun's order… Don't worry. Even if I have to pay with my life, I will protect this place and everyone here."
Yun Ruanyu and the others were slightly surprised. How did Yun Lintian recruit such an expert?
Long Shen glanced at Tang Suyin and said. "You must be Brother Tang's granddaughter."
Tang Suyin bowed her head and said politely. "Little Girl Tang Suyin greets Senior Long."
Long Shen nodded with a smile. "Although you have lost your strength, it won't be long before you return to your peak condition."
He glanced around the place and asked. "Can you show around? I am curious about this magical place."
"Yes." Tang Suyin responded with a smile.

Crackle—
On top of the Heavenly Cloud Mountain, the entire area was sealed off by a powerful ice field with Yun Xia standing at the center with hands behind her back. The surrounding cold energy didn't seem to matter to her in the slightest.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Yun Lintian's figure appeared behind her, and he quickly punched her head. His speed was insanely high to the point of leaving an afterimage behind.
Boom!
A small barrier appeared behind Yun Xia's head, completely blocking Yun Lintian's punch. However, Yun Lintian seed to expect this beforehand. He brought his left hand, which was ignited with a blazing crimson fla and purple lightning sparks, and he stuck out toward Yun Xia's back.
His second attack was executed almost simultaneously with his first punch.
Boom!
Before Yun Lintian's left palm could hit the target, an irresistible force abruptly exploded from Yun Xia, instantly sending him flying into the distance.
"Burn!" While flying midair, Yun Lintian clasped his hands together, and the surrounding temperature increased drastically.
Suddenly, several fire pillars broke out of the ground underneath Yun Xia's feet, overwhelmingly swallowing her into a sea of fla.
Yun Lintian didn't stop at that. A deep green light flashed through his eyes, and the entire space was filled with terrifying windstorms instantly.
The fire pillars, which were already blazing hot, had beco more violent, swallowing everything in the space.
Yun Lintian stabilized himself in midair and executed the Shadow Step to approach Yun Xia. At the sa ti, he sent out his most powerful Dragon Fist toward her.
Roar—
Fire, water, wind, and lightning dragons appeared around his arms and shot out toward Yun Xia, who was entirely shrouded in the sea of fla.
A smile appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he believed this move could definitely hit Yun Xia. During this month, he tried his best to control his power to the fullest, and now he was extrely proficient in releasing his energy.
He didn't take ti to circulate his profound energy normally as others did. His power could almost release at the sa ti as his thought.
Pa!
Suddenly, Yun Lintian's fist, which was extended forward, was captured by Yun Xia's palm. All the dragons were instantly dispersed by an invisible force, causing Yun Lintian to lose all of his montum.
Yun Lintian's face cramped when he saw this. He instinctively released his power to the maximum and tried to execute the Shadow Step to retreat. Unfortunately, he couldn't even move an inch under Yun Xia's suppression.
When the fla, windstorm, and ice mist dispersed, Yun Xia stood there with a faint smile on her face while grabbing Yun Lintian's fist.
"Not bad." She said.
Yun Lintian smiled bitterly. "This is not fair, grandma. Our strength is too far apart."
Yun Xia said calmly. "Have you noticed? You have already broken through your limit."
Yun Lintian was taken aback and fell into deep thought. In the past, he always relied on the relics and artifacts like the bottle gourd and the Heavenly Piercing Sword when it ca to the crucial mont. He had never truly used his own power.
When he thought of his earlier attacks, he suddenly discovered that the output power was almost reached the sa level as when he used The Sun and the other relics.
"This…" Yun Lintian's expression beca incredible. He always focused on controlling his power but had forgotten entirely about the output power's level. If Yun Xia didn't remind him, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Yun Xia released Yun Lintian's fist and said. "It's because you are more confident in yourself, and the thoughts of using the sword or the relics haven't appeared in your head while attacking. This resulted in what you currently are."
She paused for a second and said further. "Go take a break first. The next lesson is how to utilize the sword and the relics efficiently."
Yun Lintian returned to his sense and said. "Understood."
Yun Xia waved her hand, and the destructive scenery returned to its original appearance before walking away, leaving Yun Lintian standing behind with a thoughtful expression.
Yun Lintian sat on the ground and opened his palms. A tiny fla and ice crystal appeared on them. He then switched to a ball of wind and lightning before switching back to the fire and ice again.
As ti passed, the speed when he switched between the elents grew increasingly faster to the point all of them seed to mix together into one entity.
A while later, he let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face. Even though his profound strength hadn't increased during this period, he could feel that he had beco several tis stronger than before.
He believed he could deal with Xing Guiren much better than before if he t him again this ti.
