The Soul Devouring Beast could only nod its head in response, but it still said worriedly: "If that's the case, no matter what trouble you have encountered, Young Master, you must release me immediately. This way I can protect you, and you must not take any risks."

"Alright, you should return to the True Dragon Ring and rest properly. After all, there are Profound Yin Holy Water there, and it will be of great help to your soul." Zhang Yan said with concern.

Just at this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed from outside the door and arrived at Zhang Yan's courtyard. This figure's movements was extremely fast, and at the same time, it was extremely light and graceful, as he landed on the ground without making a sound.

The figure first quietly went outside Zhang Yan's room, leaned against the window and thought to himself. Using the light from the light in the room, he saw that Zhang Yan was meditating with her eyes closed, so she did not mind as she directly revealed his own weapon, a sword that emitted a cold light under the shine of the moonlight. The person holding the sword moved, directly broke through the window and pierced towards Zhang Yan who was on the bed.

Originally, Zhang Yan did not discover him, as Zhang Yan was currently focused on cultivation and did not care about what was happening outside. However, the moment the window was broken, Zhang Yan immediately opened her eyes, and at this time, a man dressed in black had already arrived in front of Zhang Yan with a treasure sword in hand, and was about to stab him in the neck.

Zhang Yan cursed in her heart, and then quickly activated the Heavenly Vertical Movement Technique, he suddenly jumped up from the bed, with a leap she directly broke through the door, and in the blink of an eye she was in the courtyard. Zhang Yan took out her own stone sword and looked inside the house, and asked: "You sneaky rat, if you have the guts, come out and fight with me."

Just as Zhang Yan finished speaking, the figure in the room had already caught up to him, and her speed was extremely fast as well, just that she was still a little slower than Zhang Yan's Heavenly Vertical Movement Technique. Otherwise, that sword strike just now might have taken Zhang Yan's life, and if it wasn't for that figure, she really would have arrived in Zhang Yan's courtyard, and pointed the sword in her hand at Zhang Yan: "I don't want to waste my words with you, as long as you hand over the pearl you obtained earlier on the day, I can let you go, otherwise you would definitely die here today."

Zhang Yan was startled upon hearing this, he had originally thought that some people who had grudges with him would send people to assassinate him, but this person actually came for the Soul Refining Orb, it seemed that this person knew of the Soul Refining Orb, otherwise she would not have taken such a big risk to kill someone at Thunder Academy's residence.

Since he knew about the Soul Refining Orb, could this person be a remnant of the Soul Refining Sect? Zhang Yan immediately felt his scalp tingling at the thought of this. Could it be that not all of the Soul Refining Sect members were killed? There were still survivors? And he had to continue cultivating the Soul Refining Orb?

Zhang Yan looked at the black figure and snorted: "That Soul Refining Pearl was given to me by Elder Lin, why should I give it to you? Besides, a person like you who doesn't even dare show his face is dreaming about getting the Soul Refining Orb? "How laughable."

"You actually know about the Soul Refining Orb?" The black clothed man looked at Zhang Yan in shock and said, "Since you know about the Soul Refining Orb, then you should know what the Soul Refining Orb means. This kind of treasure is not something you can keep for yourself.

Zhang Yan heard and snorted: "This is the Thunder Academy, and there are so many disciples around. Do you believe that with just a shout from me, there will be a lot of people attacking you?"

The black clothed man attacked as soon as he said it, immediately turning around and thrusting his sword towards Zhang Yan. Seeing the fluctuations of the Spirit Energy from the black clothed man's sword, Zhang Yan immediately knew that this man's cultivation was not simple, at least he was an expert of Martial Saint cultivation, Zhang Yan was not his opponent, if she wanted to fight, he could only call for the Soul Devouring Beast to help.

Just as Zhang Yan was about to release the Soul Devouring Beast, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yan, immediately after, he raised his hand and directly blocked the black clothed man's sword.

Zhang Yan had always been waiting for Zhang Yan to cultivate and find him to spar with him, so she had always been paying attention to Zhang Yan's movements. In the end, she just happened to hear the sounds of fighting, and thus, she quickly rushed over, just in time to see the black-clothed man wanting to kill Zhang Yan. Without even thinking, Lu Sheng immediately took action to help Zhang Yan.

However, what surprised Lu Sheng was that this black-clothed person's strength was actually quite strong. The two of them had only fought for the first time, but Lu Sheng could sense that this person's strength was not inferior to her. She could not help but look at the black-clothed person with some fear as she coldly asked: "Who exactly are you? Why did you come to our Thunder Academy to kill people? Or are you someone from the Thunder Academy? "

The black clothed man looked at Lu Sheng strangely and asked: "And who are you? This has nothing to do with you, so you better get out of my way, or else don't blame me for being rude. "

"You don't even know who I am yet you dare to commit murder here? I think you must be tired of living? " As Lu Sheng said that, the Spirit Energy on her sword twisted, following that, she raised her hand and the Rushing Thunder Sword Technique directly rushed towards the black clothed man's vital points and stabbed forward.

Seeing the power of Lu Sheng's sword, the black clothed man did not dare to take it head-on. She could not help but run out of the wall, and shouted before she left: "Kid, this thing is not something you can go through, sooner or later you will regret it."

"You're here and you still want to run? What do you think our Thunder Academy is? " As Lu Sheng spoke, she rushed to catch up with the black-clothed man. He was using the Thunder Academy's ultimate technique, Thunder Flash, and his speed was extremely fast, in a flash he disappeared from his original position. Zhang Yan could only see an afterimage as she chased after the black-clothed man.

However, right at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Zhang Yan's courtyard. With a blade in hand, he coldly looked at Zhang Yan and said: "Brat, hand over the Soul Refining Pearl and I'll spare your life."

Zhang Yan was shocked, he never expected that it was not a single person who came to steal her soul orbs, but rather the method to lure him away from the mountain.

"To a sect like yours that is utterly devoid of conscience, even if you kill me, I still wouldn't hand over the Soul Refining Orb to you," Zhang Yan said righteously.

The black clothed man sneered when he heard this, "I didn't expect you to know so much. You even know about our Soul Refining Sect, but our Soul Refining Sect can't be destroyed. As for what you said, it's completely heartless. Don't you martial artists kill people?" Which of you didn't have your hands covered in blood? You all still have the face to talk about us? You guys are just jealous of our techniques, so you want to obtain our secret techniques. "

"Actually, you are even more sinister than our Soul Refining Sect. You are the ones who should be exterminated the most. Our Soul Refining Sect's existence is to exterminate all of you." The black clothed man loudly said.

Zhang Yan heard and shook his head: "No, we are different from you, we can only kill those who have enmity, we can only kill those who deserve to be killed, but you have even killed the innocent people, you are a slaughter that obliterates humanity, don't look for an excuse for your greed anymore."

The black clothed man stopped talking and directly slashed at Zhang Yan with the blade in her hand. After all, he was afraid of causing too much trouble, and since she was in Thunder Academy, it was best to finish Zhang Yan off as soon as possible.

When Zhang Yan saw the huge blade tip flying towards him, she could not help but flash and use the Heavenly Vertical Technique, instantly appearing outside the wall, following that, Zhang Yan's figure flashed twice on the ground, and when she appeared again, she was already in the forest at the side, but Zhang Yan did not stop, and still quickly ran deeper into the forest.

The black-clothed man saw the direction Zhang Yan was escaping in, and could not help but sneer: "Truly an idiot. To actually run into the forest, you are simply courting death," as he spoke, he also quickly chased after him.

Just then, the disciples around were woken up by the sounds of fighting, but when everyone came out, they did not realise anything, Zhang Yan and the rest had already left long ago, so everyone returned to their rooms to cultivate, some of them even thought that they heard wrong.

The black clothed man had been chasing after Zhang Yan the entire time. He felt that Zhang Yan seemed to have deliberately slowed down his footsteps to keep a relatively close distance between them, and every time she was about to be unable to catch up to him, Zhang Yan would suddenly increase her speed. It was as if he was waiting for him to catch up on purpose, or as if he was luring him deeper into the forest.

Although the black clothed man guessed that Zhang Yan was doing it on purpose, he himself was a cultivator of the Martial Saint, so how could he be afraid of a little kid of Martial Master? The black clothed man thought of quickly chasing after Zhang Yan, but just at this time, Zhang Yan suddenly stopped.

Zhang Yan looked around him and realised that she was already deep into the forest. She could not help but stop and wait for the black-clothed man behind him, and when the black-clothed man arrived, Zhang Yan was there waiting for him with a calm demeanor. Seeing him, Zhang Yan taunted: "You are a Martial Saint Realm warrior, but your movement is actually so slow, it is truly disappointing."

The black clothed man coldly looked at Zhang Yan, and said: "Brat, don't be arrogant here. I admit that your movement speed is indeed very fast, but you have ran all the way here, and no one knows where you are. Even if we fight here, no one will know, are you choosing a burial ground for yourself?"

Zhang Yan snorted upon hearing that, and said: "It's true that I invited you here because there's no one here to disturb me, but I didn't choose a grave for me, but for you."
