When Yu Lianzhou saw that Xue Qiong was dead, she relaxed her mind and her body immediately went limp. She felt that her dantian was empty and that the energy in her body was exhausted greatly, causing her to almost lose her balance. However, Yu Lianzhou knew that she had to not reveal any hint of fatigue, lest it was discovered by the people hiding in the surroundings.

Song Yuanqiao was not much better now, but he had experienced the martial arts world for a long time, and he knew that he must not be careless now, that he must not have the heart to harm others, and that he must not lack the mind to guard against others, not to mention this martial arts world that was full of conflicts. There were all kinds of people, and if he was not careful, he would die.

Song Yu and his companion walked up to each other and smiled at each other before nodding slightly. Knowing what they wanted to do, they walked towards the inn, and the onlookers made way. A short while later, the onlookers saw the two of them disappearing from their sight.

"These two are amazing. To be able to kill the Twin Fiends of the Western Regions at such a young age, I'm afraid that their reputations will soon spread far and wide."

"That's right, that's right. I heard the Western Twin Devils say that the two of them are from the Wudang Sect. Could it be that they are the disciples of Zhang Sanfeng?"

"That's right, that's right. I've heard of this Song Yuanqiao in the Central Plains before. He's Zhang Sanfeng's head disciple. As for this Yu LianZhou, she should be Zhang Sanfeng's other disciple."

"Daoist Master Zhang is amazing. Not only are my skills so great, even my trained disciples are so powerful. If I could take Zhang Sanfeng as my master, it would be fine even if I lived ten years less."

"Haha … just like you … not even I, not to mention Adept Zhang, would accept you as a disciple."

"That's right, that's right. If you want me to, then stop daydreaming. As long as you can get Daoist Master Zhang's advice, your ancestors will definitely burn incense."

"I think the two of them are in danger. Today, they killed the Western Twin Devils. I'm afraid the Ming Empire will not let this matter rest."

"I don't think so. You must know that if the two of them were to die in the Western Regions, they would immediately think of today's matter. Ming Dong would not be so foolish as to do something to offend Master Zhang." The Ming Sect's upper echelons did not want to cause any trouble at this critical juncture. Hence, they issued an order to strictly prohibit the members of the sect from causing trouble, to not offend the people from the various large sects, lest it affect the execution of the Hundred Slaughter Daoists.

….

On the other side, Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou entered the room and immediately sat on the floor. They circulated their energy to regulate their breathing and only slowly stopped when dawn arrived the next day.

Yu Lianzhou opened her eyes and felt the surging true energy in her dantian, thinking, "Looks like I can open my first special meridian in the next few days. Indeed, a life and death battle can stimulate a person's potential the most, if I were still cultivating quietly in Wudang, I would probably need another half a year to open my first special meridian."

"Brother, how do you feel?" Song Yuanqiao said on the side.

Yu Lianzhou returned to her senses and saw that her senior apprentice brother's face was filled with joy, knowing that his cultivation had also improved. He said, "I have recovered. In yesterday's fight, I was just exhausted and did not have any internal injuries. Now that my internal energy has recovered, by the way, big brother, how are you doing?"

"Hahaha, although I was in a sorry state yesterday, I did not suffer any superficial wounds, and after recuperating for a few days, I will be fine. Moreover, after yesterday's battle, I might have to open my first special meridian, and boy, your skill is almost catching up to me. If I don't hurry up, you will surpass me before long. In the end, Song Yuanqiao was still young, and he still had the fighting spirit.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, big brother. My first special meridian is about to be opened. Just wait for me to surpass it." Yu Lianyan burst into laughter.

When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he felt depressed, but he was still happy with Yu Lianzhou's improvement. He said, "Second Brother, we killed the Western Twin Devils, the Ming Empire might find trouble with us, this is not a good situation for us."

"Yeah, big brother, let's just hide for a bit. Although we aren't afraid of Ming Dong, we should still be careful."

….

It was now the middle of winter, and the night had long since fallen. There was silence at the foot of the mountain, and occasionally a bonfire would light up the night sky. Who was enjoying the unique scene of an enchanting winter alone, enjoying the picturesque scene?

The sky was getting darker, and the wind was getting stronger. It was unknown where the moon was hiding, but suddenly, the sky looked like it was raining willow leaves as it covered the entire mountain with a layer of silver.

In a cave on the Heaven Mountain, a flame was flickering. One of them was meditating and cultivating while the other was observing the surroundings. His face was filled with seriousness, completely ignoring the whistling wind outside the cave.

At this moment, the person opened his eyes and let out a long breath. He had already awoken from his meditation.

"Big brother, how is it?"

"I've already broken through, thank you brother for protecting me."

"Good, congratulations on your advancement."

"Younger brother, it's time for your breakthrough. I'm here to protect you."

"Hm, alright. I'll have to trouble you, big brother."

There was no sound from the cave again, only the crackling of the bonfire.

These two people were Song Yuanqiao and Yu LianZhou. It turned out that ever since they left the inn, the two of them were afraid that they had found it. They went up the mountain and searched for a long time before finally finding the cave.

There were few people here, and it just so happened that their cultivation bases were on the verge of breaking through. Thus, they calmed down and started cultivating, which was why the previous scene had occurred.

When the sky cleared up, the two walked out of the cave and found that the cave entrance was covered with snow, and the sky was still covered with snow.

"Brother, we have been here for a few days. I wonder how the situation is going down the mountain. We should go down the mountain and ask around."

"Alright, as Big Brother says. We'll go as well."

"En, let's compete in Qing Gong. Let's see who will reach the foot of the mountain first."

"Alright, then when Big Bro loses, don't look bad."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Lianzhou had a stroke of luck and used the Dazzling Spring Technique to travel across the snow. Song Yuanqiao did not fall behind but also shot out of the hole in an instant.

Although Di Yun was Wu Dang's movement technique, it could be said to be his movement technique. He emphasized agility and agility, not using footwork to confuse his opponents. His main goal was to be agile, to advance and retreat freely.

The two of them had trained in the art of light arts for many years, and had already reached a small success. Adding the fact that the two of them had improved their skills, although they were not able to reach the Traceless Snowsteps, they could still move as fast as they could on the snow. Wherever the two of them went, only two rows of footprints that were about three inches thick were left on the snow.

After two hours or so, the two of them arrived at the little town below the Sky Mountain at the same time, they stopped their movement technique and looked at each other, only to find that both of them were panting and sweating. Although their cultivation had improved a level, with the two of them using their inner force, they would still have consumed a lot of energy if they did not use their movement technique the most, if not for Wu Dang's inner force recovery technique, the two of them would probably be lying on the ground exhausted.
