Xiao Shun had previously defeated the life-bound Gu of the four elders of Silvermeadows with just four moves, a feat that could only be described as terrifying. Miao Rulong, not even a master of Gu techniques, was overly confident and destined for defeat.


    At the same time, Xiao Shun used his alchemical fire to disperse the poisonous mist on the shield andunched an attack on Miao Rulong. His body transformed into a light blue arrow, shooting toward the target with unparalleled speed.


    “Not good!”


    Miao Qingfeng and Miao Erye’s expressions changed drastically when they saw this. They rushed to Miao Rulong’s side without hesitation, intending to protect the young master of Bronzemeadows. Two dense ck fogs converged into a solid shield under the control of the two Gu masters, attempting to block Xiao Shun’s attack.


    Xiao Shun, now like a sharp spear glowing faintly blue, pierced into the shield. A loud bang echoed as blue light shed with ck fog. In no time, Miao Qingfeng’s face turned pale, and his fingers trembled as he struggled to resist something. Miao Erye, slightly stronger, looked shocked but otherwise unaffected.


    The two sides were in a deadlock when someone among the Meadowfolk began whispering.


    “Who is this guy? How can he hold his own against Miao Erye and Elder Qingfeng?”


    “Hmph, whoever he is, there’s no way he can ovee two Gu masters working together. Even our n leader would have to take this seriously!”


    “True, this young man can’t be more than twenty-something years old. Could he be stronger than our n leader?”


    As they rxed, thinking victory was assured, Xiao Shun’s blue aura intensified and pierced through the ck fog barrier like a red-hot needle.


    A loud explosion spread in all directions as ck fog dissipated into nothingness under the mountain wind. Miao Erye and Miao Qingfeng spat out blood and fell backward heavily injured. The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.


    Just moments ago, they were confidently discussing how Xiao Shun couldn’t possibly defeat the two elders. Now the tide had turned so quickly that they were caught off guard!This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Ignoring their shocked expressions, Xiao Shun walked calmly to Miao Rulong’s side and looked at him indifferently.


    “I’ll give you ten seconds to disappear with your people,” he said.


    Infuriated by such disdain, Miao Rulong shouted, “Bastard! Don’t think I fear you!” He threw a punch enveloped in ck mist with great momentum. A strong gust blew around Xiao Shun.


    “So you practice both Gu and martial arts,” Xiao Shun remarked before throwing a punch that collided with Miao Rulong’s fist. The ck mist on Miao Rulong’s arm was instantly dispersed by a powerful force that spread through his body like a tide.


    With a crack, Miao Rulong’s arm couldn’t withstand the immense force and broke. He screamed as he flew back and crashed into a thick tree trunk, falling unconscious.


    After dealing with three powerful Gu practitioners, Xiao Shun turned his gaze to the remaining Meadowfolk. His cold stare made them too afraid to move or speak.


    “Take them away,” he said nonchntly before sitting on arge rock and lighting a cigarette.


    The Bronzemeadows and Redmeadows members quickly carried their unconscious leaders into the night without any dy.


    Shortly after they left, Miaoxiu Yun arrivedte.


    “Where are those Bronzemeadows and Redmeadows people?” he asked after ensuring the elders were unharmed. He then noticed Xiao Shun smoking nearby and immediately understood what had happened.


    “Thank you for your help, Alliance Leader Xiao,” Miaoxiu Yun said with a bow.


    Xiao Shun waved dismissively. “It was nothing.”


    The Silvermeadows members were surprised by their leader’s interaction with Xiao Shun, wondering if their rtionship had progressed too quickly.


    Seeing their puzzled expressions, Miaoxiu Yun exined, “I’ve reached an initial agreement with Alliance Leader Xiao; we will join New School Society.”


    “n leader…” Elder Er began but stopped mid-sentence after ncing at Xiao Shun nearby.


    Realizing it was best not to stay any longer, Xiao Shun said casually, “The view ahead is nice; I’ll leave you to talk. Call me when it’s time to leave.”


    After Xiao Shun left, Elder Er continued hesitantly, “n leader, if we join New School Society, how will other Meadowfolk see us? If they find out, we’ll be doomed!”


    Looking around at his trusted confidants, Miaoxiu Yun spoke frankly. “Alliance Leader Xiao can help us remove our ‘forbidden Gu techniques.''”


    The ce fell silent until Elder Er asked incredulously, “Is that true?”


    Despite the disrespect implied in questioning their leader-an offense under Silvermeadows rules-Miaoxiu Yun didn’t me his longtimepanion because what he had said was indeed shocking.


    “He could see our ‘forbidden Gu techniques’ were suppressed at a nce and has earned the Xia family’s recognition; his abilities are undeniable,” Miaoxiu Yun exined.


    Miaoru Hu suddenly understood. “No wonder Xia Li traded ‘Mand’ with Xiao Shun at Sundown Bazaar; it was because of this!”


    “If that’s the case, joining New School Society makes sense!” Elder Er nodded excitedly. He preferred leaving their homnd for New School Society over being enved by Gu n in these mountains forever.
