For some reason, the man in front of her always reminds Xueyao of that person.

Is that man in white Ling Ziqian?

How could that person be so similar to the man in white in front of him, Bai Yichen?

Not only are their figures and looks about 70% similar, but their demeanor is also about 70% similar.

Shaking her head, Xueyao pulled her thoughts back.

She picked two peaches from the secret garden and said, "These are peaches I planted myself. If you don't mind, please accept them. Just consider them as a small token of my appreciation."

"Okay." Bai Yichen did not refuse and accepted it without hesitation.

Hmm? You're so rude. That's good, it made her feel a little more at ease.

Then, she bowed and said, "Goodbye."

Before he finished speaking, the man disappeared from the spot.

Bai Yichen's heart suddenly jumped, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he turned and left.

Xueyao felt a little strange, but she didn't think much about it.

Walking out of the woods, she saw Yun Duoduo and others waiting there with the villagers, so she walked forward quickly.

After saying goodbye to the villagers, the group continued their journey.

When they walked about five miles, Xueyao inadvertently looked to her left and a small house that was vaguely visible caught her attention.

She didn't know why, but she wanted to go and investigate.

She used her spiritual sense to explore and found that the hut was in a dilapidated state, with weeds growing all around it, as if it had been forgotten for a long time.

There was something strange in the room, like something was there that shouldn't be there.

Xue Yao was puzzled, but decided to go closer and take a look. She gently pushed open the door of the hut, and a stronger smell hit her nose, making her frown.

She walked into the hut and found it filled with all kinds of waste, as well as some rotten food and animal carcasses. The smell of these things was unbearable, but Xue Yao still insisted on finding the source of the smell.

Finally, she found a black bottle in a corner. The bottle was placed among a pile of tattered clothes, but it emitted a strange light.

Xueyao carefully picked up the bottle and found that it contained a black liquid. This liquid exuded a strong stench, but also contained a strange power.

Xue Yao was startled, realizing that the bottle might be dangerous. She quickly cast a barrier around the bottle and put it in her sleeve pocket, ready to find a suitable place to completely destroy it.

However, at this moment, the door of the cabin was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and a dark shadow rushed in from outside.

Xueyao was startled and quickly took a few steps back. She looked closely and found that the black shadow was actually a person wearing a black cloak.

This person exuded a powerful aura that made Xueyao feel very uneasy. She stared at him vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xue Yao asked.

The man in black said nothing, but stared at Xue Yao coldly. His eyes were deep and dark, as if they could swallow everything.

Xueyao's heart tightened. She sensed that this man in black was no good. She secretly mobilized her spiritual power, ready to respond to his attack at any time.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly moved. He flashed and arrived in front of Xue Yao. Xue Yao only had time to see a black shadow pass by before she felt a powerful force knock her away.

It happened too fast. Xueyao really didn’t expect it.

If her cultivation was quite strong, she would have fallen heavily to the ground, and would have been in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.

After she steadied herself, she found that the man in black had disappeared.

Xue Yao was filled with doubts, but she wasn't afraid. She didn't know who the man in black was, or why he was there, so she had to be careful.

She let Yun Duoduo and others enter the secret garden, and she went to track the whereabouts of the man in black.

She quietly left the hut, disappeared back into the village, and after searching everywhere but finding no trace of the man in black, she left.

Xueyao was filled with vigilance. She thought that this man in black had definitely not appeared here by chance, and must have some purpose.

She decided to secretly observe the movements in the village to see if there was anything else suspicious.

So, she left the village but did not go far. Instead, she hid her breath and hid in a secret place, closely monitoring the movements of the village with her spiritual sense.

A few days passed, and everything seemed normal in the village, with nothing unusual happening. However, Xue Yao did not let her guard down, as she knew the man in black must still be watching them from behind.

Finally, on the fifth day, Xueyao discovered the traces of the man in black. He appeared at the edge of the village, seemingly searching for something. Xueyao immediately followed him, quietly approaching the man in black.

The man in black didn't seem to notice her approaching, he was still searching intently. Xue Yao approached him cautiously, ready to subdue him in one fell swoop.

However, just as she was about to approach the man in black, he suddenly turned around and looked at her. His eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see through everything.

Xue Yao's heart tightened. She knew this man in black was not easy to deal with. She immediately signaled the others to prepare for battle and gathered all her spiritual power.

The man in black looked at her coldly without saying a word. Suddenly, he flashed and rushed towards Xue Yao.

Xueyao reacted quickly and rushed forward. She engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black, the two of them going back and forth, the fight was difficult to resolve.

Yun Duoduo and the others were not idle after leaving the Secret Garden. They all took action to help Xue Yao deal with the man in black. However, the man in black was too strong and they were no match for him.

Xueyao was anxious, she knew she had to find a way to deal with the man in black as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might all die here.

Suddenly, she transformed into hundreds of thousands of figures, surrounding the man in black at an incredible speed, looking for his flaws.

So, one of her clones deliberately exposed a flaw, making the man in black think he had an opportunity. As expected, the man in black fell for it and rushed towards Xue Yao.

Xue Yao was delighted, and her avatar immediately dodged the attack of the man in black, and then her real body did a roundhouse kick, knocking the man in black to the ground.

The man in black fell to the ground, clearly badly injured. Xue Yao immediately stepped forward, ready to subdue him.

However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly burst out with a powerful aura. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Xue Yao.

Xue Yao was shocked. She hadn't expected the black-clad man to be so powerful. She immediately gathered all her spiritual energy and injected it with the power of a waterfall, preparing to meet the black-clad man's attack.

However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly burst out from her forehead, directly penetrated into her waterfall power, and instantly merged, hitting the man in black together.

The man in black screamed, his body trembled violently, and then he fell to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing this, Yun Duoduo and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they didn't know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching...
