Zhang Ye didnt understand anything and didnt know which direction to head in.

  I want to ask Xiaobao, but hes in a gourd, lying next to the golden tender shoots, snoring away, and no matter how I call him, he wont wake up.

  Zhang Ye didnt insist either and casually chose a direction to move forward.

  In the morning till noon, Zhang Ye arrived at a mountain valley, with a clear and small river flowing slowly in the middle.

  Zhang squatted down to wash his face, and when he lifted his head, he saw a beautiful figure reflected in the water.

  He was startled and suddenly turned his head. It was a woman with a bamboo basket on her back, her jet-black hair tied up high.

  Their eyes sparkled as they exchanged a glance and blinked in unison, asking in tandem: "Who are you?"

  "You answer first." The woman with an intimidating aura added.

  "I am Zhang Ye, an outer disciple of Tai Xuan Men. Im now out on a training journey." Zhang Ye replied honestly.

  "I am Tao Linger." she said.

  Zhang Ye said: "Tao Linger, its great to see you again. Why dont we travel together and enjoy the scenery along the way?"

  Tao Linger almost fell over, wondering how this little white thing suddenly appeared. What kind of opening line is this? Hes really stupid.

  "I dont want to," Tao Linger weakly shook her head and said, "Mom told me to be careful of bad people, I wont casually come into contact with strangers. You go by yourself, Ill continue picking herbs."

  Zhang Ye could only watch as she walked away slowly with her back to him, carrying a basket of medicine.

  "Hehe, youre quite bold and direct, not too useless after all." A timely remark came from the purple-robed figure.

  "You dont understand, shes become a friend of mine, weve exchanged names." Zhang Ye didnt lose out.

  Tired from walking, Zhang Ye lay down on the bank of this small river and basked in the warm sun.

  Just as they were enjoying their leisure time, a cry for help came from the distant mountains: "Save me!"

  Zhang Ye was very agile and jumped up from the ground with a flip of his body, looking around.

  In an instant, a black smoke rose from the dense forest in the direction where Tao Linger disappeared, with a momentum that seemed to pierce the sky.

  Zhang Ye didnt know what it was, but he felt a strong sense of evil, and immediately began to worry about Tao Linger.

  Zhang Ye sprinted towards the mountain forest like a cheetah.

  The purple-robed woman in the sea of knowledge furrowed her brow, but her haughtiness made her too lazy to say more.

  With several leaps, Zhang Ye darted into the dense forest like an arrow.

  Just then, the barefoot Tao Linger was seen rushing towards this side with all her might. Behind her, the black smoke that had appeared earlier transformed into a large hand, closely pursuing Tao Linger.

  "Lingering Wolf Poison. This persons cultivation is above yours, and since it takes the form of mist, its speed wont be very fast. The best approach would be to escape; even if you want to fight, remember not to let the wolf poison enter your nostrils."

  In the sea of knowledge, a message from Ziyi was transmitted, and afterwards, she seemed to have gone into meditation again, oblivious to everything.

  "Save Linger quickly..."

  Tao Linger, despite her agile physique, almost tumbled down with a somersault due to excessive panic, slowing down her speed.

  Just as the giant hand transformed from smoke and fog was about to reach him, Zhang Ye exerted force in his waist and legs, pouncing out like a hunting leopard.

  Mystic Palm

  Without approaching, Zhang Ye remembered the instructions of the purple-clothed man and mobilized his inner true energy to compress it into his palm. His palm instantly transformed into a large handprint, barely smaller than the surging Wolf Poison Smoke by one circle.

  Tai Chi Fist

  Zhang Ye once again used the Taichang Quan fist technique, his arm thinning and lengthening, as if flying a kite, his arm transformed into a thin line, one giant hand grasping outwards.

  Pounce

  Xuan Kong Palms claw was unleashed, and the vigorous energy scattered in all directions. The cluster of wolf poison smoke dispersed into fragments.

  Tao Linger also escaped danger. She obviously hadnt practiced any martial arts, she had just lived in the mountains for many years and naturally had a lithe figure.

  Tao Linger was frightened pale and ran over, panting and hiding behind Zhang Yes back.

  "You think youre clever, but youre just meddling with my good fortune!"

  In the dense forest behind, no one can be seen, but voices are heard coming over.

  At the same time, those scattered Heavenly Wolf Poison turned into even finer fragments and invaded from all sides.

  Mystic Void Shadow Palm

  Zhang Yes true energy surged forth, using small bursts of power to rapidly strike out.

  Pom pom pom pom pom pom pom

  Innumerable streams of true energy shot out, transforming into dense palm shadows that protected himself and Tao Linger all around.

  Pffft pffft pffft——

  Innumerable wolf-poison smokes that had invaded were blown away and scattered. Just like this, Zhang Ye also felt a faint burning sensation in his palm, it could be imagined how overbearing these wolf-poison smokes were, if they were to enter the body, afraid there would be big problems.

  During the battle, Zhang Ye was not simple at all, with a hundred tricks up his sleeve. He felt that the opponents boundary was higher than his own, and his true energy had already taken shape and could be controlled at will, which meant he was at least at the foundation-building stage. He couldnt match him in strength.

  "Youre going down, kid! Get ready for my final move, this is my greatest secret!"

  Zhang Ye said that his whole bodys true energy was mobilized, and when the Xuan Kong Palm was activated, it transformed into a larger-than-before Mo Tian handprint.

  "Im waiting!"

  The opponent was indeed startled by this desperate momentum. The fragmented Wolf Poison Smoke did not press on, but instead began to retreat.

  "The Ten Temples of Yanluo, Destroyer of Heaven and Earth."

  Zhang Ye came up with a name that he thought sounded impressive and used it to intimidate people while striking with his Xuan Kong Palm.

  The black smoke was startled and retreated further back. Zhang Ye didnt really attack, but instead slapped the powerful Xuan Kong Palms big handprint onto the ground.

  Rumble...

  Dust and sand flew everywhere on the ground, while Zhang Ye took advantage of this counter-shock force to pull up Tao Linger behind him and escape in the opposite direction.

  "How dare you cheat me, youre going to die!"

  Just as he was about to catch up, the other party let out a furious roar, and the black smoke transformed into an arrow shape, chasing after him fiercely, its speed much faster than when it had attacked Tao Linger.

  But Zhang Ye certainly had a follow-up move. As he fled, the Seven Treasures Gourd was released and flew in the direction of the black smoke.

  "Gourd of Seven Treasures!"

  In the midst of the other partys cries of surprise, greed was revealed, but before the voices had even stopped, gurgling sounds were heard, and from the Seven Treasures Gourd shot out a flying sword, transforming into a white ray of light that pierced through the black smoke.

  "Ah! You dare to plot against me, you wait!" The other side let out a cry of surprise.

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye, who had originally escaped, immediately turned back and went over, intending to slay the demon.

  But this time he was also deceived, and as soon as he turned around, he recalled the Seven Treasures Gourd. At the same time, the wolf poison smoke suddenly exerted its power, transforming into a mass of fog that enveloped Zhang Ye, threatening to invade him.

  The little treasure in the gourd was sleeping when he suddenly sensed that Zhang Ye was in danger, and somehow, Little Yellow Dog jumped out.

  "Xiao Bao, run quickly! Dont make trouble!" Zhang Ye shouted anxiously.

  But its already too late. The wolf poison smoke has invaded.

  Xiao Bao didnt know what was going on, but despite being timid and even Abu was afraid of him, he wasnt afraid of this wolf poison smoke at all, opening his mouth to take a puff.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

  Endless wolf poison smoke was sucked into Xiaobaos mouth.

  After drinking a lot, Little Treasure became a chubby boy with a big belly.

  "Damn it! What kind of trick is this? My Wolf Poison Smoke!"

  The other partys exclamation sounded together, and the smoke suddenly shrank back in a frightened manner.

  At the same time, Xiaobao ran into the Seven Treasures Gourd again to hide.

  Then Zhang Ye picked up the gourd and took Tao Linger with him, running wildly as far as they could.

  Summoning the second-grade flying sword that flew out with my mind was a bit difficult, but I still managed to summon it back. There were some bloodstains on it, and it seemed like I had also secretly calculated against the opponent. Not bad, not bad...

  Ran wildly for hundreds of miles in one breath.

  Zhang Ye finally sat down on the ground, almost fainting.
