27 Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range

Yun Che and Meng went to the remote area of the hall and when they were sure it was clear, Meng leaned against the wall with his arms folded and eyes closed.

"So...What does brother Su want to speak about with me?" Yun Che asked with a curious tone.

"I merely want to give you two warnings" Meng replied with a calm tone.

"Warnings?" Yun Che narrowed his eyes.

"First, our spar gathered a lot of attention and I am not sure if you felt that but someone had overly heavy negative thoughts towards us. I suspect that someone might try to cause trouble for both of us, however, I doubt anyone would try anything as long as you remain inside your sect." Meng said.

"I see, thank you for the warning, brother Su. I will make sure to be careful...just in a case, you probably have no idea who it was, right?" Yun Che slightly bowed to Meng to show his gratitude.

"You have provoked all 7 other sects, of course, we can exclude my clan which makes it 6 clans. Seeing your potential with their own eyes, I don't see anyone other than Burning Heaven Clan Branch and Xiao Sect Branch daring to target you. These two are branches of 2 major sects so they feel like they have behind them someone who no one can provoke as their backer. If I were to make a guess, it would be Xiao Sect since their youngest talent is at the 10th stage of the Nascent Realm while the Burning Heaven Clan only has someone around the 6th stage. The last profound skill you performed had explosive strength to even hurt someone in the 10th stage of the Nascent Realm. If my guess is right, that guy must have been slightly worried about his title of youngest genius since he was present during our spar." Meng explained but he didn't ensure anything.

"...I see, what brother Su said indeed sounds logical. I will try to avoid those 2 sects until I am strong enough." Yun Che replied while holding his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"Now...there is also one more warning I would like to give you...and that warning is regarding that senior sister of yours." Meng opened his right eye and looked at Yun Che from the corner of his eye to observe his reaction.

"What does brother Su mean to say?" As expected, Yun Che frowned down in a displeased manner after hearing Meng's words phrased this way.

"My bad, it's not a warning but a recommendation." Meng said with a faint smile and continued.

"If I were you, I would forget about getting into pants of other girls, that is if you truly care about them. If you will start a relationship with another woman while still having Xia Qingyue as your official wife, it will only become a disaster. If you are at least the type of man who wants to have a close relationship with only girls he cares about, you better make first Xia Qingyue fall in love with you to avoid any future disasters. But if you are the type of man who just goes for what is between girls' legs, go for it, I am not your father to stop you." Meng said with a slightly cold tone and expression.

"...First of all, how can I know that she hasn't already destroyed our marriage certificate? Second, why is brother Su involving himself in my love life?" Yun Che asked with knitted brows.

"Why would she destroy it when it wouldn't give her anything? Also, she promised to you to protect your aunt and grandfather for you. Even when you left Xiao clan's grounds, she just hid the certificate and never took it out again. And I am not trying to involve myself in brother Yun's love life but just the imagination of having a daughter or sister who would have her feelings tricked by a man who is even married but can't even make his own wife fall in love with him, I would do my best to get rid of him as soon as possible. How would I be able to trust a pathetic man who can't even make his own wife fall in love?" Meng narrowed his eyes and during the last sentence, he even formed a mocking smile. It was apparent that Meng was telling him that he is biting off more than he can chew and it will one day return to him.

Hearing his words, Yun Che clenched both his hands into fists while glaring at him with narrowed eyes.

'Calm yourself, you are not his match plus he doesn't mean any harm.' Jasmine told to Yun Che and he slightly calmed down.

"Well, that was everything I wanted to discuss. I will be leaving now" Meng said and passed by Yun Che.

"Brother Su, what are you planning to do? It's inevitable that we will be targeted." Yun Che turned around and asked him.

"...They were more shocked by your profound skill rather than me "somehow" surviving. Meaning...brother Yun is in much bigger danger. I also usually like to operate alone, however in case brother Yun is in trouble, I am willing to help as long as it's within my power and as long as there will be good enough compensation." Meng stopped and replied before finally leaving the hall to return to his clan.

Yun Che just stared at his back in silence until Meng's back disappeared from his sight.

'Looks like I need to get much stronger! To think that there is someone in such a remote place with lower profound strength than me yet he can defeat me...' Yun Che clenched his teeth with a desire to get stronger

When Meng returned to his clan, he immediately went to look for Tie Zhancang. He informed him that he would like to train in seclusion, more specifically, at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range as it was a paradise for Nascent and Earth Profound beasts. Meng wanted to use this time to get as many points as he can to level up his alchemy so he can support his clan better. He also wanted to use this chance to cultivate his Physique since his Physique at his current state was much more useful against careless profound beasts and profound practitioners who would underestimate him. In truth, his physique was just made to fight with overgrown beasts, with his Yin and Yang energy, he can protect himself from other elements and the beast's physical strength won't be enough to defeat him.

Tie Zhancang was a bit skeptical about Meng's request but he agreed in the end.

Meng spent 7 days at his clan's grounds, mediating and stabilizing his new cultivation base of the 7th stage of Elementary Profound Realm. He also learned how to control his Yin energy more efficiently as he was more familiar with Yang energy.

When the day to take his leave for the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range arrived, he went to visit Wan Xiu, Lin An, and Ren He. Meng gave them all a few of W. Elementary Profound Strengthening pills and told them not to reveal anything yet and to consume it as soon as possible. All of them were feeling ecstatic when they heard from Meng what those pills can do so they thanked him and wished him a fruitful time and most importantly safe return before they went to cultivate into their respective rooms.

'They actually followed me the entire way from the city to the edge of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, huh?' Immediately when Meng felt the city, he felt as if someone was trailing him but he had no need to assure himself since he felt their negative emotions toward him so he was completely sure that they are going after him. What surprised him was that they never revealed themselves along the way.

Meng decided to stop and turn around.

"Well, you have been following me for quite a long time, aren't you bored already?" *Thud* Meng asked aloud before taking his spear out and hit the ground with the blunt end of the spear's shaft.

"...Kid, you have quite the courage to call me out despite knowing that I have been following you. You could have saved yourself by not leaving the city but now that you are at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, no one is going to find out who killed you." A single man showed himself in front of Meng, wearing a vicious smile.

'Those clothes...Xiao sect, huh? I thought that they would target Yun Che first...well, maybe they did, I have no information about his current situation. Still, to send the 2nd of the Spirit Profound Realm to deal with me...looks like they are not taking me lightly. I just hope nothing will happen to the Iron Spear Clan while I am away.' Meng remained silent while observing the man in front of him who wasn't even trying to hide his cultivation base.

"Speechless, huh? I know, I was speechless too when they sent me out to kill a brat at the 6th stage of Elementary Realm but looks like you are already at the 7th stage, well, it wouldn't matter even if you were to step into the Nascent Profound Realm." Xiao man said with a care-free air around him.

"I never expected Xiao sect to be so prestigious. Sending an old man to kill a cub...I accept this challenge from the honorable Xiao sect, bring it on, old man!" Meng said in a sarcastic tone and gripped his spear with both hands before pointing it at the man while having a faint smile on his face.

"?! You little shit, are you looking down on me?!!" The man was slightly confused why Meng wasn't even trying to run away but when he saw him "accepting his challenge" he found out that Meng is looking down on him. The man kicked off the ground with the use of a little bit of his profound energy, attacking Meng with his hand taking the form of claws, flashing in a light green color.

"Make sure to entertain me to the maximum, here, no one is around to watch our fight! First move!" Meng shouted with a slightly crazy smile before the color of his eyes changed and he thrust his spear forward, sending a beam of amber-colored energy at the man who was rushing at him.

"You think a brat of mere 7th stage of Elementary Realm can harm me with his feeble profound strength?! Deam on!" The man shouted and met Meng's attack head-on by swinging his hand in form of claws covered in light green energy in front of him.

*BANG* The loud sound came out of the collision of 2 attacks and the profound energy dispersed to all directions, making a few older trees fall down. When the cloud of dust cleared up, the man was pushed back beyond even the position from where he previously rushed at Meng. He was looking at his hand in disbelief.

"You...You can't be left alive! I vow that I will kill you today for humiliating me like this and for the bright future of Xiao Sect!" The man looked up at Meng with a twisted expression and shouted at him while flaring up his profound energy, enveloping his entire body to make his defense even better.

"Yeah, sure...How much strength did you use to meet that attack? About 30 percent? Maybe you will be able to take on my third move, I am looking forward to it!" Meng replied in a disinterested tone before he said with a slightly excited smile and his spear resting on his shoulder. Up till now, he had no need to use his second or third move since his Physique was usually enough against Profound Beasts while the First move of his incomplete 7 Moves of Ferocious Sun (Yang) or River Crossing Slash (Yin) was enough to deal with profound practitioners.
