"Who is it!"

Ah Bao roared to the sky, his hard-earned, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside Golden-Winged Roc gone just like that.

Immediately, Abao sniffed the air and followed the lingering scent. Soon he saw a small, snow-white fox in the distance, gnawing on a golden-winged roc, its mouth dripping with oil.

"Oh no! We've been spotted!"

When the little white fox saw the fierce-looking Abao, it panicked and ran away.

"Little fox, stop right there! Give me back my Golden-Winged Roc!"

"No!" the little white fox replied to Abao as it ran away.

"That's the Golden-Winged Roc that I hunted with great difficulty. My brother and sister-in-law haven't eaten it yet!"

"I'm hungry, please stop chasing me!"

"Stop right there!"

"I don't!"

"..."

The little white fox ran ahead, and Po chased after it.

Before they knew it, they had chased him into the valley.

When Lingyun returned from picking herbs, he saw Abao chasing a little white fox, so he curiously followed him.

Just as the two entered the valley, Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran emerged naked from the spirit spring pool.

Her fair, luminous skin and perfectly graceful figure momentarily stunned Ling Yun.

"Ah, you pervert!"

"lecher!"

Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran jumped into the hot spring pool, their faces flushed with shame and anger.

Po was so focused on catching the little white fox that he missed the most beautiful scenery.

Ling Yun immediately turned his head: "Don't look at what you shouldn't see! Don't look at what you shouldn't see!"

Then, he pretended to chase the little white fox with A Bao.

After chasing him out of the valley, Abao suddenly stopped. He smelled a pungent stench of blood and immediately turned to look to the side, where he found a burlap sack in the grass.

The sack was soaked in blood, and it looked like there was a person inside.

"Brother, there's a person in the sack! I just saw the sack move!"

Ling Yun walked over, glanced at the sack, and said in a deep voice:

"The people inside are still alive!"

Ah Bao immediately untied the sack and saw a man covered in blood, with a severed arm and his soul sea pierced, barely clinging to life.

The Soul Sea is where martial spirits reside; if it is destroyed, a man cannot become a martial artist.

Unless there is a miraculous encounter, one can only live as an ordinary person in this life.

"Brother, he's still breathing, let's try to save him!"

Kind-hearted Abao looked to Lingyun for his opinion.

Ling Yun nodded and let Xiao Lü make the move.

Soon, the man's body healed and his arm grew back.

Upon waking, the man saw Ling Yun and A Bao, and immediately became alert, asking warily:

Who are you?!

Seeing that all his wounds had healed, the man knew that Ling Yun and A Bao had saved him.

"Thank you both, my benefactors!"

Abao asked curiously:

"How did you end up here?"

Upon hearing this, as if recalling unbearable past events, the man's face was filled with hatred and murderous intent.

Ling Yun waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go back and talk about it first!"

Back in the valley, Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu were already dressed. Upon seeing Ling Yun, Xiao Yanran, both embarrassed and angry, questioned him:

"What did you just see?!"

Ling Yun recalled her graceful figure with a lingering sense of pleasure, then said seriously:

"I was chasing the little white fox with Po at the time, so I didn't see anything!"

"Nonsense! You clearly saw it, and you were even stunned for a few moments!"

Xiao Yanran looked incredulous, while Yan Ruyu blushed and whispered to Xiao Yanran:

"Don't ask, it's so embarrassing!"

Abao asked Lingyun curiously:

"Brother, what did you see? Tell me!"

Ling Yun's face stiffened, and he said irritably:

"I didn't see anything!"

Xiao Yanran was about to speak when she noticed there was another person present, so she stopped talking and glared at Ling Yun with embarrassment and anger.

Ling Yun coughed lightly and said to A Bao:

"Go and hunt some wild game."

Po caught three sika deer and five golden-winged rocs in the dense forest.

As the group barbecued, they kept glancing at the man, curious about what had happened to him.

The man took a deep breath, looked at the sizzling, oily golden-winged roc, and slowly spoke.

He was originally Shangguan Hong, the heir of the Shangguan family in Zhongling City, and was betrothed to Wang Jinlian, the eldest daughter of the Wang family in Zhongling City.

Seven days ago, Shangguan Hong went to the Wang family to find Wang Jinlian, only to discover indescribable sounds coming from Wang Jinlian's boudoir.

Enraged, Shangguan Hong kicked the door open and found Wang Jinlian having an affair with Chen Qing, the eldest son of the Chen family in Zhongling City.

After their affair was discovered, the two decided to take decisive action and joined forces to subdue Shangguan Hong.

He tied her up, and the deranged Chen Qing committed adultery with Wang Jinlian in front of Shangguan Hong, even pointing Wang Jinlian's head at Shangguan Hong.

What man could withstand such humiliation? Overwhelmed with anger and frustration, Shangguan Hong fainted.

When he woke up, he discovered that the whole of Zhongling City was abuzz with rumors that Shangguan Hong had tried to force himself on Wang Jinlian, but Chen Qing had come to her rescue.

Apart from Shangguan Hong's parents, no one in the Shangguan family believed him.

The eldest elder of the Shangguan family, who had long coveted the position of family head, joined forces with other elders to remove Shangguan Hong's father from the position of family head.

They also carried out a major purge of Shangguan Hong's faction.

After hearing this, everyone was so angry they were itching to bite.

Ling Yun believed that Shangguan Hong was telling the truth. Faced with Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu, two beauties of unparalleled beauty, Shangguan Hong did not have any lust in his eyes.

He certainly wouldn't have forced Wang Jinlian on her.

After speaking, Shangguan Hong became extremely agitated, his clenched fists digging his nails into his flesh.

Suddenly, he knelt before Ling Yun and begged:

“My benefactor, I know you must be a highly skilled master. If you help me avenge my family, I, Shangguan Hong, am willing to follow you for the rest of my life.”

If you don't believe me, I can offer my soul and spirit as collateral.

Ling Yun had A Bao help Shangguan Hong up, then said in a deep voice:

"You have to take revenge yourself!"

Shangguan Hong said with a face full of hatred:

"I know my benefactor must have a way to help me improve my strength. I don't want to think that revenge is a dish best served cold; I want to take my revenge now!"

Ling Yun remained silent. He was certain he possessed the secret technique, but the cost would be enormous.

Ling Yun empathized with Shangguan Hong's plight. Perhaps even if he hadn't been crippled in the Ling family, his future would have been the same as Shangguan Hong's.

"good!"

Ling Yun decided to help, and pointed his finger at Shangguan Hong's brow.

"This is a quick method that can help you reach the Sealed Human Realm in a short time."

I'll give you three days to cultivate!"

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

After expressing his gratitude, Shangguan Hong immediately ran elsewhere to practice the secret technique.

After a moment of silence, Abao quickly said:

"Stop daydreaming! The Golden-Winged Roc is about to burn!"

Just then, Abao suddenly saw the little white fox hiding in the distance, drooling as it watched the Golden-Winged Roc.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Abao's heart softened, and he picked up a burnt golden-winged roc and threw it to her.

The little white fox's face lit up with joy. It immediately rushed over, picked up the golden-winged roc, and ran to a safe place to devour it.

While eating heartily, they kept looking around to prevent anyone from snatching their food.

Ling Yun glanced at the little white fox and said calmly:

"This white fox is no ordinary creature."
