The oppressive force came crashing down like a tidal wave. Meng Xiuyi concentrated her spiritual power on the talisman, firmly supporting the barrier.
At that moment, Meng Wanwan was also woken up by Nian Nian.
"Father!" Meng Wanwan sat up and called out softly.
Meng Xiuyi's expression remained unchanged. She smiled gently at her and said, "It's alright, go to sleep. Your father is here."
Meng Wanwan nodded slightly, formed a hand seal, and two Hundred Treasures Seals appeared around her like two shields, surrounding her.
"Father, you go ahead."
Meng Xiuyi smiled helplessly, told Meng Wanwan to protect herself, waved her hand, the barrier disappeared, and she turned into a blue light and disappeared from the room.
"Master, they are from the Han family."
Meng Wanwan raised her head slightly: "Of course I know, but are the Han family members out of their minds? They clearly came to ask Xiaoshan You for a favor, but they acted so presumptuously."
She stood up and walked towards the door.
Outside the door, an old man with a bushy beard floated in the air; the wires that were sent from the Nascent Soul stage originated from him.
Meng Xiuyi stepped forward, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the old man, and nodded slightly: "It is not yet dawn. May I ask what brings you here so abruptly?"
The old man sneered, "You brat, you're just a Golden Core cultivator, yet you're so rude. Since you've hit someone from my Han family, don't pretend to be innocent."
After saying that, he vanished into thin air, and the next instant, a sword wind carrying a fierce force slashed towards Meng Xiuyi's neck.
Meng Xiuyi lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated to the side, effortlessly dodging his attack.
The old man frowned slightly, but once again poured his spiritual power into the sword and slashed through the air.
Meng Xiuyi raised his hand, and the scabbard directly blocked the incoming attack. His body flew backward, the sword was drawn, and he held it in his hand, landing steadily on the eaves.
This time, the old man dared not underestimate his opponent: "Heh, no wonder you dared to mess with my Han family. You were able to withstand two of my sword strikes. You are truly one of the best."
Meng Xiuyi ignored him. In his opinion, since this person had come looking for him, he must be planning to vent his anger.
Meng Xiuyi would definitely not let the other party have their way, so there was no need to speak up.
He's not aggressive, he doesn't curse, but if you want to hit someone, just hit them.
But the old man didn't think so.
Because of his concern for the Helian family, he dared not fight with all his might. He only wanted to take down this arrogant person. If they were polite and paid a price, the Han family would let it go for the sake of the Helian family.
But to my surprise, this person showed not even the slightest bit of respect for the Han family.
They actually dared to ask him what he was there for?
Don't you know what you've done?
Those who hold high positions for a long time often have a strong sense of self-esteem.
Since that's the case, he didn't want to hold back anymore. The old man leaped up, his figure transforming into several afterimages, shifting and dodging, and in the blink of an eye, the sword wind was already upon him.
Meng Xiuyi touched her sword with her left hand, a blue light flashed across the blade, and with a flick of her wrist, the sword light thrust horizontally towards the old man's sword wind.
At the same time, he also flew up from the roof, and the two figures instantly became entangled in the air.
Meng Wanwan stepped out of the room and saw this scene. She said to Niannian, "Father's strength has always been a mystery. I always thought that he failed to form his Nascent Soul and that his strength was only at the Golden Core stage. But judging from his actions earlier, it seems that he is not only at the Golden Core stage."
Niannian said, "Yes, Master, Father's strength is indeed not just at the Golden Core stage. Helian Xiao can defeat Bai Changxue, who is at the Golden Core stage, but he can't defeat Father."
Meng Wanwan smiled and said, "I guess Father wants to use this person to test just how strong he really is."
They were right; that was indeed Meng Xiuyi's plan.
As a rogue cultivator, opportunities to spar with others are plentiful, but opportunities to spar with those above the Nascent Soul stage are rare. Encountering a Nascent Soul cultivator from a powerful sect or aristocratic family is even more difficult.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyi was determined to have a good fight with this person today.
The dawn sky still carried the lingering colors of night, but these were ultimately driven back by the dazzling light emitted by the two combat techniques.
The old man grew increasingly alarmed as he fought; was this person truly at the peak of the Golden Core stage?
Why do I always feel that his spiritual power is inexhaustible?
If one's spiritual power is insufficient, one can use superior levels to overwhelm others, but the old man discovered that he couldn't do that.
Because no matter how much of his power he used in his attacks, his opponent could still barely withstand them.
Every single time!
That's so weird!
In the distance, Helian Tengyun and Helian Xiao also came out. Although the commotion in the guest courtyard was covered by a barrier, this was the Helian family after all. How could they not know that someone was fighting in the Helian family?
Helian Xiao said with great interest, "Look, Father, isn't Uncle Meng amazing? It's said that he failed to form his Nascent Soul and thus fell back to the Golden Core Perfection stage. But look at him, does he look like he's at the Golden Core Perfection stage?"
Helian Tengyun watched with his hands behind his back and his eyes narrowed. Although the two were fighting with restraint, it was still clear that their strengths were not much different.
Or perhaps Meng Xiuyi was struggling to cope with the fight because she lacked a systematic mental cultivation method and technique.
However, it seems that there are some magical ways to compensate for this in terms of level and strength.
Helian Tengyun formed a hand seal and then swung his hand out.
Suddenly, a huge, transparent platform with a halo appeared in the azure sky, surrounded by what seemed to be a light green wall of energy.
Helian Tengyun spoke softly, but his voice carried throughout the entire Helian family.
"If the two of you wish to spar, then go to the Cloud Platform. Once the sparring is over, our grudges will be settled."
Helian Tengyun would certainly not allow anyone to make enemies within the Helian family, so this can be seen as giving them a way to settle their grievances.
Meng Xiuyi and the bearded old man were suddenly lifted up by a platform, and then they heard Helian Tengyun's voice.
The bearded old man was immediately filled with anger. He was furious that the Helian family would try to quell the matter of Han Fei being beaten last night in this way.
What angered him even more was that Helian Tengyun had placed Meng Xiuyi, a rogue cultivator, on the same level as his Han family, and was actually trying to resolve the conflict in this way.
But Meng Xiuyi was indeed very happy, now she could finally fight without restraint.
The two people stood at opposite ends, looking at each other.
The bearded old man sneered: "Since Patriarch Helian is here to testify, then I no longer need to hide anything. Boy, since you've come to this Cloud Platform, you'll have to pay the price if you want to settle your grudges."
Meng Xiuyi smiled faintly, without uttering any harsh words, and simply made a gesture of invitation.
In comparison, the bearded old man appeared petty and short-tempered.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Bamboo Sound!"
As he channeled his spiritual energy into the longsword, it instantly emitted a turquoise light. The light transformed into numerous bamboo leaves that danced around the sword, increasing in number and speed.
"Go!" the old man shouted, and countless bamboo leaves, like thousands of sharp blades, swarmed forward like bees and butterflies, rushing towards Meng Xiuyi with fierce momentum.
By this time, many members of the Helian family had gathered below the stage, and everyone was shocked by this move.
"This is a killer move! Isn't this Mr. Han's 'Bamboo Sounds' Triple Play?"
"A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a triple Bamboo Sound technique—that's enough to kill someone outright!"
“Father…” Helian Xiao looked at Helian Tengyun in shock.
Helian Tengyun shook his head slightly and said, "Let's keep watching and trust him."
The bamboo leaves rushed towards Meng Xiuyi, but instead of engulfing him like a tornado, they filled the entire Cloud Platform almost flawlessly, like a well-arranged military formation.
If Meng Xiuyi were to move even one step inside, his entire body would be pierced by bamboo leaves.
The old man from the Han family revealed a smug look: "Boy, aren't you going to beg for mercy?"
