    The next morning, dawn was breaking.


    At the entrance of Spirit Creek Vige, deputy chief Lu Cang led many vigers to bid farewell to Lu Yun.


    After the incident at Sky Wind Stronghold, the vigers of Spirit Creek Vige were profoundly grateful to Lu Yun.


    The children were filled with admiration and respect, their gazes towards Lu Yun shining brightly.


    “Lu Yun, Spirit Creek Vige will always be there for you. If one day you are weary and do not wish to climb further on your martial arts journey, Spirit Creek Vige and the vigers will always wee you,” said Lu Cang, looking at Lu Yun with a serious tone.


    Even though he knew it was almost impossible, he was ready to make the promise.


    This was themitment of all the vigers of Spirit Creek Vige.


    All because Lu Yun had saved everyone during a critical moment, preventing a massacre in Spirit Creek Vige.


    All because of Lu Yun’s potential to ughter a Meridian Passage Realm peak martial artist, despite his young age.


    “Xiaoyun, you are the pride of Spirit Creek Vige, as well as the pride of me and Lu Yu. We’re waiting for your name to be known throughout the world.” Lu He patted Lu Yun’s shoulder,ughing out loud, his eyes full of pride.


    “It won’t be long,” Lu Yun said with a smile, ncing at Lu Yu by his side.


    Lu Yu, who had grown taller, was only half a head shorter than Lu He.


    She tiptoed, affectionately ruffling Lu Yun’s hair. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and love. She pressed her lips together, trying to say something, but she could not find the words.


    After a long time, her eyes began to fill with tears, and she finally managed to choke out, “Xiaoyun, I know you have great talent and strength, but I still need to remind you, be careful when you are outside.”


    Although she had only received education for a short period, she knew that her brother was destined to soar. A small vige like Spirit Creek Vige could not hold him back. Only a ce that was bigger and further could truly be his stage.


    What she could do was to silently support him, watching him grow and take flight.


    Looking at the proud Lu He, and the tearful, reluctant LU Yu, Lu Yun’s normally cid mood was greatly stirred. He wanted to stay, to enjoy the warmth of his family, and the peace and tranquility of Spirit Creek Vige.


    But he immediately disregarded this dangerous thought.


    The peacefulness and tranquility of the weak were temporary and vulnerable.


    Once a powerful external force intervened, everything would be shattered in an instant.


    Just like the attack from Sky Wind Stronghold. If Lu Yun had not arrived in time, Spirit Creek Vige would have been a river of blood.


    Only the truly strong canst.


    Only absolute power can be eternal.


    With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yun’s determination to leave was further strengthened.


    “Sis, eldest brother, I’m leaving.”


    With these words, Lu Yun nced at the people who hade to see him off, smiled and nodded, then resolutely mounted his horse.


    “Go!”


    With a harsh shout, the pure-blooded ck horse suddenly elerated, turning into a ck shadow, quickly disappearing from the entrance of the vige.


    Lu Tianhu stared at the distance, the ce where Lu Yun had disappeared. He clenched his fist and muttered to himself.


    “Lu Yun, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger, but 1 will never forget our promise.”


    His voice was very soft, so soft that it was drowned out by the gradually rising wind.


    Leaving Spirit Creek Vige, the sun began to rise.


    The golden morning sunlight spilled down, casting a golden hue over the entirend.


    A man and horse were racing across the goldennd, their long shadows chasing after them.


    “I’ve been dyed in Spirit Creek Vige for so long, I wonder if there have been any changes to the task.”


    Initially, he had nned to stay in Spirit Creek Vige for a short period before leaving. But things didn’t go as nned, and he ended up staying a whole month.


    “The task doesn’t have a time limit, and ording to the steward, the Demon Beast shouldn’t have left. Dying for a month or two probably doesn’t matter too much.”


    With these thoughts, Lu Yun felt much more rxed and his speed also slowed down.


    Passing through the official road, mountain paths, and small roads, Lu Yun appeared outside a dpidated vigete in the evening.


    Standing at the outskirts of the vige, one could see the wild grass along the vige roads flourishing and the wheat in the fields thick and healthy, forming a stark contrast with the decrepit-looking vige from a distance.


    ording to the task, when the authorities found this ce, the vigers had all perished, with no survivors.


    Moreover, this was thest ce where the Demon Beast was seen.


    “This being a mission from the Martial Academy, and only this vige being mentioned in the description, indicates that the Demon Beast is near this vige.”


    “However, there are no human settlements for tens of miles around this vige, where could the Demon Beast be?”


    Lu Yun did not enter the vige. Instead, he found a ce with a clear view and observed the surrounding terrain.


    Just as he expected, the vast space to the southwest of the vige was pitch-ck.


    With a grin, Lu Yun spurred his horse and headed in that direction.


    About an hourter, a dark mountain range appeared in the distance.


    “If I’m not mistaken, the Demon Beast must have fled into this mountain range.”


    Murmuring to himself, Lu Yun made his way swiftly towards the mountain range.


    “The ck Veil Mountain Range is currently in lockdown and is off-limits to unauthorised personnel.”


    Just as Lu Yun was about to enter the mountain range, two martial artists dressed in ck armour suddenly appeared and stopped Lu Yun.


    “Oh, so this is the ck Veil Mountain Range.” Lu Yun thought, while scanning the two men.


    Both men were in thete stages of the Enter Martial Realm, dressed in ck armour with resolute expressions, unlike ordinary martial artists. Curious, he asked, “Who are you people, why are you blocking my way?”


    “I’ll say it once more, unauthorised personnel are not allowed to enter,” one of the men in ck armour coldly repeated.


    “What if I must enter?”


    “Two oues: one is death by my de, or death in the mountains.”


    Lu Yun was taken aback, “What makes you say that?”


    The other ck armoured martial artist, who looked friendlier, exined, “We are members of the ck Tiger Army under themand of Wang Junhao, tasked with guarding this area to prevent local vigers from entering the ck Veil Mountain, and to prevent the Demon Beast inside from causing harm.”


    “I can see that you are somewhat skilled, but I advise you to return where you came from to avoid losing your life.”


    A spark of understanding shed in Lu Yun’s eyes, and he continued to probe, “Why don’t you go into the mountains to eliminate the Demon Beast entirely so that you don’t have to guard here for a long time?”


    The man in ck armour replied, “It’s an order from our superiors, we cannot defy it.”


    “I see.”


    “Impudent child, you’ve asked enough. If you don’t wish to die, go back.”


    Lu Yun ignored the man, and said to the other one, “Since you’re just idle here, help me take care of my horse for a while.”


    With those words, Lu Yun moved. He jumped off his horse, and leaped over the two men before touching foot on a distant tree and disappearing into the woods in a blink of an eye.


    The two men in ck armour looked at each other, their gazes moving between the horse Lu Yun left behind and the tree where he had disappeared. “This is at least ten meters, right? No run-up, no borrowing strength, he just jumped over.” The man who had been scolding Lu Yun looked shocked.


    “Give it a try then, see if you can jump that far.” The amiable ck armoured martial artist retorted sarcastically, “That was clearly a jump, but it felt more like flight..”
