Flying Clouds in Another World

On a path through a dense forest, five teenagers blocked the way of two children aged 11 or 12.

"Little ones! Look how cool it is in the Sunless Forest. It's already 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., and it's very hot outside. Why don't you rest here for a while?"

"That's right! You must be tired and hungry now! Come! I have some water here, would you like to have a few sips first?"

"Why bother arguing with them? Just break their arms and legs!"

"That's right! We're in a hurry!"

"Yes, the trial supervisor will be here in two or three quarters (fifteen minutes), so we have to hurry."

The five people didn't take Liu Feiyun and Liu Shihu seriously at all. In their opinion, the two children were already dishes on their plates, and how to eat them depended on their own wishes.

Liu Feiyun's memory was far superior to that of an ordinary person. Although he had only met them once, he still recognized that these five people were the ones traveling with Xu Weijie. After a little thought, he guessed that these five people were probably sent by Xu Weijie to deal with him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I don't know how much benefit that young master Xu gave you to make you willing to deal with me. Didn't you investigate my background before? I am not someone you can easily offend."

"Oh! You are a young kid, but you are quite cunning. You know how to act and scare people. You are a kid from a rich country family, how much of the world have you seen? You still think this is just a small piece of land in your remote and poor village! It's just that your family has a little money, and your father is a military officer! You really think you are so great. It's ridiculous!" One of them said while pouring some powder into the water bag. After he poured the powder and plugged the cork, he shook the water bag again, and then laughed strangely: "Come on! Be obedient! Drink this water and have a good sleep. When you wake up, the sun will soon set, and it will be cool outside. It won't be too late for you to leave this Wuri Forest! You see, I am kind! Unlike those people who shout for war and killing! Good boy! Be obedient?"

"You're such a hassle! It would be much easier to just break their hands and feet!" said one of his companions.

"Brother! It's better not to be too drastic! Everyone! Think about it, why didn't Young Master Xu stay? With his personality, it would be in line with his temper to watch us cripple these two kids in person! Is it just to fight for a good ranking? He has hinted from time to time! As long as you become an inner disciple, you will definitely be accepted as a personal disciple by a certain cultivator. Now our ranking is over 200, which means we have secured entry into the ranks of inner disciples. Why should he be so anxious?" The man holding the water bag was obviously a meticulous person. He slowly explained to his companions.

Then, he looked at Liu Feiyun and said, "Little guy! I know that your little follower has some skills. Not to mention ordinary warriors in the Great Perfection Realm, even those who have just entered the cultivator realm may not be his opponents. But the five of us are all in the Great Perfection Realm of cultivators, and our combat power is not comparable to those ordinary warriors who have just entered the late stage of cultivation in their twenties. You'd better be obedient and drink this water, so that we don't have to do it ourselves and accidentally hurt you!"

Liu Feiyun looked at these young men who were much taller and stronger than himself, and sighed in his heart: I didn't expect it! The first actual battle against the enemy in my life came so suddenly.

He stepped back suddenly and shouted, "Tiger! Hold them off for half a minute!" Then he turned around and ran.

"Is this kid stupid? Running back will lead to death!" someone sneered.

"Hey! Boy! Your master left you here alone and ran away first! Why should you work for him again! Get out of the way quickly, you are not our main target!" another person shouted.

"So much nonsense!" Liu Shihu did not retreat but advanced, crouching down and slapping someone with his palm.

The man obviously didn't expect Liu Shihu to be so fierce. He attacked him directly, and attacked his lower body with a palm, which was very unreasonable. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. His calf had already been hit by the palm, and he fell down with a broken bone, screaming miserably.

Another man swung his palm towards him, and Liu Shihu raised his palm to meet him again. When the two palms collided, the man felt a strong force coming and took a few steps back. However, Liu Shihu took advantage of the power of his palm to retreat quickly, then turned and ran away.

"Ah! Damn little bastard! Damn little beast! How dare you tease me? Everyone, chase him together!" The man who had slapped him became furious and shouted as he chased after him. The other three followed closely behind, leaving the unlucky guy holding his calf and howling in pain.

This dead-end path in the dense forest was nearly two hundred feet long, winding and with several corners. Liu Shihu helped to ambush the enemy several times at the corners, and soon injured another man's feet, forcing the man to stop. The remaining three people gnashed their teeth in anger and chased after him relentlessly.

But soon, after turning the last corner, the road reached its end in another twenty feet. At the end was a patch of grass as tall as an adult. It was not very big, only about seven or eight feet in radius. But at this time, there was no trace of Liu Feiyun.

The three of them looked around the dense forest and found no signs of anyone entering. Moreover, the bushes and thorns in the dense forest were very dense. They were not formed naturally but were planted by humans. They looked like a green wall. It was difficult to pass through the dense forest even for Liu Feiyun, who was thin.

"Look at the grass! The little beast must have hidden in the grass." someone shouted.

Liu Shihu also dived into the grass and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"This is a bush as big as a palm. Let's see where you can hide!" One person was about to chase into the bush.

"Wait!" The man holding the water bag stopped him and said, "Let them hide in the bushes! We just need to guard the intersection and delay time so that they have no chance to become inner disciples. Anyway, with our qualifications, talents, and backgrounds, it will be difficult for us to be taken seriously even if we become inner disciples. What's more, the three tests behind are not easy to pass, and it is still unclear whether we can become inner disciples. Now, as long as we delay them and prevent them from becoming inner disciples, we can be considered to have accomplished what Master Xu asked. With Master Xu as our backer, we will be able to get along better in the Miyun Sect in the future."

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Besides, that kid is really difficult to deal with! I didn't expect that he is not inferior to us in terms of real combat power and combat experience at such a young age. If we fight alone, none of the three of us can be sure of winning. There is really no need to take risks in the bushes. After a long time, they will not be able to wait and come out. Then we can split two people to capture the kid, and the other one to capture his master. This is the foolproof strategy!"

The other two thought for a moment and agreed. The three of them blocked the intersection and waited quietly. Sure enough, not long after, Liu Shihu came out of the bush again and glared at the three of them.

"Boy! You finally came out! Where is your cowardly master? He wouldn't be scared to death! Hahaha!" someone mocked.
