However, they seemed to be quite calm and did not feel trapped. In fact, this place was not an isolated island; although it was hard for others to climb up here, there were ways to leave. Moreover, their original stockpile of food was quite substantial, so staying for a few months would not be a problem.

Because of this, Xianyao wasn't too anxious about the situation. Even if these villagers couldn't figure out how to escape, he could still do it himself—whether it meant climbing back up from the cliff or anything else. Descending was even easier.

Xianyao planned to rest here for one night and make preparations before descending the mountain the next day. While the path down might be difficult, it would certainly be better than being trapped here. Of course, if the road were to open up immediately, he would stay around for a few days and enjoy the unique scenery.

But he believed that this was unlikely; even if the situation here were resolved promptly, building an iron bridge still required time. Besides, it seemed like resolving these issues wouldn't be easy either.

"What do you mean by not just one person" Xianyao asked the villager, since he had only seen one person but the villager's statement implied there were more than one people involved.

"Of course it’s not just one person. If it was, we wouldn’t let him do this; our village has a certain defensive strength," said the villager. "They seem to be around twenty or thirty individuals, like they’ve been chased here and are in quite a sorry state. Strangely enough, all of them appear to be young men, with several very pretty girls among them."

"I see." Xianyao nodded. He didn’t ask for more details since such incidents were too common in this world; he had no interest in meddling with their affairs.

"Thank you, Brother. Do you know if there’s an inn here" asked Xianyao with a smile.

"There is one, but it's currently occupied by those people. I don’t know if that will cause any problems for you," the villager frowned. Normally, he would invite Xianyao and his companion to stay at his home, but considering the current situation, he didn’t want trouble.

"I’ll go check it out; if not possible, we'll find somewhere else for a night’s rest and leave early tomorrow." Xianyao nodded with a smile and then led Heixue away.

"Should I control them It would be simple," said Heixue to Xianyao. By "control", she meant using her magical voice to subdue people; those below the Divine level found it hard to resist, especially since these individuals didn’t seem to be of that caliber—having a Saint-level was impressive.

"No need. Let’s see what happens first. If we aren’t involved, we won’t interfere," Xianyao said.

“Mm.” Heixue nodded; she didn't want to get entangled in other people's disputes, especially now that this was her and Xianyao's time together.

She treated their journey as a romantic trip. Whether or not Xianyao felt the same way, she certainly did, so she became even more annoyed by any interruptions.

"It’s you!"

When Xianyao and Heixue arrived at the inn to lodge, someone inside exclaimed in recognition of him. This person was one who had severed the iron bridge.

Xianyao still didn’t know this man had done that, but he was surprised to encounter him here.

"Isn't it you Let me think…" Xianyao smiled; he deliberately pretended not to remember. He remembered the person's name but wanted to tease him since he disliked this individual.

“…Stop pretending, of course you know who I am—tell me your name!” This man was a bit angry and cold, seemingly unaware that Xianyao knew his identity.

"My name is Lu Renjia; didn’t I tell you" Xianyao smiled.

Lu Renjia Heixue froze for a moment. She wondered why Xianyao suddenly used this name but quickly realized the cleverness behind it, and she couldn't help laughing openly.

"Get lost! Don’t you think I’m stupid Everyone knows that 'Lu Renjia' means 'random passerby.' This isn’t your real name!" The man said angrily.

“Ah, found out,” Xianyao pretended to be surprised, which made the man even angrier. Others nearby also wanted to laugh but couldn't act like Heixue; they were with this person.

"Actually, my name isn’t important. If you really want to know, I’ll tell you—my name is Le Xiaoyao, and this is my sister, Le Xiaoxue. Please get to know us." Xianyao said with a smile.

“Hmph.” Heixue merely snorted, clearly not wanting to associate with him; her pride was far greater than his, especially since he treated Xianyao poorly.

"Le Xiaoyao This name sounds like you made it up on the spot," said the man frowning.

“I’m serious! Forget that—how did you end up here This isn’t your country,” asked Xianyao.

“Is this any of your business We haven't settled our accounts from last time.”

"It's been several years ago, why are you so petty to still remember such trivial matters," Xi Yao said nonchalantly.

"Trivial You impersonated my name and caused me trouble. My life in the Hong Pu Family was hellish. That woman, Xinyue Hu...

Indeed, this person is Li Yihun, the "wise man" on the road to the Hong Pu Family who got tricked by Xi Yao, who then impersonated his name. In her boredom, Xinyue Hu knew that Xi Yao was just pretending but still messed with Li Yihun, making him suffer.

"Xinyue Hu is after you" Xi Yao looked at Li Yihun in puzzlement; he didn't know about this matter and thought it would be only a minor inconvenience arranged by Cui Hua. Unexpectedly, Xinyue Hu took matters into her own hands.

Considering her personality, this wasn’t impossible. If it was really Xinyue Hu who acted, Xi Yao wanted to tell Li Yihun one thing:

"You’re truly pitiful!"

"Do you know I didn’t… damn, why am I talking about this You caused me all that trouble. Now it's my turn." After realizing the situation, Li Yihun looked at Xi Yao with a slightly sinister smile.

“Cough cough, actually, since so much time has passed, we shouldn’t bring up old matters anymore. Besides, how can you say I’m in your hands I just came here to stay for the night. I’m free.” Xi Yao said with a smile.

"This matter isn't over! Let me tell you, this place is under our control now. You’re in my hands if you're still here. Do you understand" Li Yihun said.

“Under your control So it was you who cut those iron bridges. You guys are so despicable. If you’ve cut the bridges, how can we leave” Xi Yao immediately understood and directly cursed them.

"…" Everyone there fell silent; this kid really didn’t understand the current situation and still dared to speak like that.

“If you want to leave, I’ll send you down the mountain. As long as you can fly, you won’t have any problems.” Li Yihun said coldly, not sounding like he was joking; if Xi Yao nodded, it seemed he would do so.

“Do you think I’m you I don't know how to fly,” Xi Yao replied irritably.

""

Li Yihun and the others were confused; why did Xi Yao say that Li Yihun could fly

“Xi Yao, why do you say he can fly Does he have such a skill” Black Snow also asked in puzzlement.

"A bird naturally knows how to fly." Xi Yao shrugged and replied.

"Haha…"

“You’re asking for it!” Li Yihun’s anger flared up, jumping out with a sword aimed at killing Xi Yao. However, his swordsmanship couldn’t harm Xi Yao; back then, he was already powerless against him, and now, it was even more impossible.

Xi Yao casually drew his sword, piercing Li Yihun’s weak spot like breaking through bamboo, shattering Li Yihun's defense and pointing the tip of his sword straight at Li Yihun’s throat.

"I didn’t expect that after a few years without seeing you, your strength hasn't increased much. Your swordsmanship is the same." Xi Yao said indifferently; now their strengths were on par with each other. Back then, Li Yihun was in the early Emperor stage and far superior to Xi Yao, but now although he had progressed, Xi Yao's improvement was even more evident.

Moreover, he used the Supreme Sword Dao. In recent years, he hadn't completely mastered his former sword techniques and didn’t have any new moves; Xi Yao had already thoroughly comprehended the Supreme Sword Dao except for that final sword stroke.

In this comparison, it was normal for him to be defeated by Xi Yao's single sword strike because even back then when he was far superior, he could still barely hold off Xi Yao’s attacks.

"!"

Not only Li Yihun but also others found this unbelievable. Although Li Yihun wasn’t the strongest here, he was still not weak and had been completely defeated by an unknown young man.

"Impossible, how could you possibly beat me This must be a coincidence," Li Yihun took several steps back while shaking his head; he couldn't believe that Xi Yao would win this easily. Even if he previously couldn’t defeat Xi Yao, it was because of the latter’s agility, not with a single sword stroke like now.

This concept was entirely different; it wasn’t possible for him to be surpassed in just two or three years since both were progressing and there was no reason for him to fall behind.

"Want another round I don't have the time," Xi Yao shook his head, knowing what Li Yihun wanted next but not wanting to do it as there was no benefit to him.

“This is up to me!” Ignoring Xi Yao’s thoughts, Li Yihun attacked again with a sword strike that pushed his strength to the limit. Whether or not Xi Yao could handle this attack didn’t concern him; even if he died, it wouldn’t matter. show any abnormal actions; this seemed quite impossible.The only explanation that made sense to them was that his boss truly possessed peak Imperial-level strength. If that were the case, how should...
