Xue Tianhan and Huang Yan exchanged a quick glance, each revealing a hint of anxiety and unease. They knew that if they didn't quickly clarify their purpose, an unforeseen misunderstanding would be inevitable, and this misunderstanding would most likely push them into an abyss of no return.

However, the old man didn't give them the slightest chance to defend themselves. He coldly spat out a few words: "Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will be killed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure flashed like a ghost and in the blink of an eye, he was close to Huang Yan. His dry palm was like a sharp eagle claw, carrying a chilling aura, and he grabbed Huang Yan's throat as fast as lightning.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, making a hissing sound and bringing with it a terrifying sharp wind.

Huang Yan's eyes suddenly became stern when she saw this, and she quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, she formed a seal with her right hand at lightning speed.

In an instant, a spiritual shield emitting a soft glow instantly condensed in front of her, like an indestructible transparent shield, emitting faint spiritual fluctuations.

Seeing this, the old man snorted coldly, and stretched out his left hand like lightning, with his index finger and middle finger tightly together. From the fingertips, a stream of spiritual power shot out like an arrow, slamming into Huang Yan's spiritual shield.

With a loud "bang", layers of violent ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the shield. Huang Yan felt a huge force like a tidal wave rushing towards her. Her body staggered back uncontrollably, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with each step, and her face turned slightly pale.

Xue Tianhan was extremely anxious when he saw Huang Yan in danger. Just as he was about to rush forward to help, he suddenly felt a suffocatingly powerful aura coming from the old man, pressing him down like an invisible mountain, making his body seem to be fixed and unable to move at all. He could only watch Huang Yan fall into danger, his eyes full of anxiety and helplessness.

Huang Yan, enduring the discomfort of the surging spiritual energy within her, quickly steadied herself. Her hands danced rapidly in the air, like fluttering butterflies. Streams of spiritual energy emanated from her fingertips, transforming into multicolored ribbons. These, carrying traces of spiritual energy, snaked around the old man, attempting to contain his movements.

The old man looked calm, and his hands drew graceful arcs in the air without any hurry. Each arc contained powerful spiritual power, which easily dissolved the ribbons released by Huang Yan into nothingness one by one.

Then, he let out a deafening roar, and the spiritual power around him instantly surged like a surging tide, sweeping towards Huang Yan with endless pressure. Wherever he passed, the sand and stones on the ground were swept into the sky.

Huang Yan saw this and thought to herself that it was not good. She didn't dare to take this powerful spiritual attack head-on. She tapped the ground with her toes and her body floated away like a light swallow.

At the same time, she muttered something, and a vortex of spiritual power emitting a powerful aura slowly formed in front of her. The center of the vortex seemed to be connected to an endless abyss, spinning at high speed, trying to block the old man's overwhelming attack.

However, the old man's spiritual power was so powerful that Huang Yan's spiritual power vortex showed signs of gradual collapse and disintegration the moment it came into contact with the old man's spiritual power. The vortex that was originally rotating at high speed began to slow down, and cracks appeared at the edges, as if it would completely dissipate in the next moment.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the surrounding space suddenly began to fluctuate slightly, and figures flashed by as fast as lightning.

It turned out that the Kunlun Sect disciples who were patrolling nearby were attracted by the violent fluctuations of spiritual power here and rushed over to find out what was going on.

"Huh? Where did these two come from? How dare they fight the elders in our Kunlun Sect's forbidden area? They're so bold!"

"Looking at this situation, it seems that they are far from being a match for the elders. This is going to be a good show to watch."

"No matter what, trespassing into forbidden territory is a serious crime. They are doomed today. They have violated the dignity of our Kunlun Sect and will not be easily forgiven."

The disciples were whispering and talking to each other, with surprise, curiosity and deep vigilance in their eyes. They stared at Xue Tianhan and Huang Yan closely, guarding against them taking the opportunity to escape, while also secretly speculating in their hearts about the origins and purpose of these two people.

Huang Yan couldn't help but groan inwardly as she heard the surrounding disciples' discussions. She knew that she and Xue Tianhan were in a precarious situation, but now that things had come to this point, there was no turning back. Only by giving it their all could they have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, her body trembled slightly, and she raised all the spiritual power in her body to the extreme without reservation, preparing to meet the next round of more fierce attacks that the old man was about to launch.

The old man keenly felt the change in Huang Yan's spiritual power, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He quietly felt a sense of admiration for this woman who had just entered the distraction stage and could burst out with such tenacious fighting spirit and strength in a desperate situation.

However, his attack momentum did not slow down at all. He quickly put his hands together, and then suddenly separated them with force. An extremely huge spiritual power palm print appeared out of thin air in front of him. The palm print was like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, with an overwhelming force to destroy the world, and it slammed towards Huang Yan fiercely. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be squeezed and deformed by this powerful force.

Upon seeing this, Huang Yan cried out and pushed out with all her might with both hands. An equally huge spiritual barrier instantly condensed in front of her. The barrier flashed with dazzling light and emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations, facing the old man's astonishingly powerful palm print.

"Boom!" A deafening roar echoed throughout the world, and the aftermath of spiritual power spread wildly around like surging waves. Wherever it went, the hard ground was cracked, and deep cracks spread like spider webs into the distance. The sand and stones on the ground were shaken and splashed everywhere, filling the air with flying dust.

Under the impact of this powerful force, Huang Yan's face instantly turned as pale as paper, with a trace of bright red blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her body flew backwards uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string. After drawing an arc in the air, she fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and making a dull sound.

Xue Tianhan was extremely anxious when he saw Huang Yan being seriously injured. He broke through the old man's blockade at all costs, rushed towards Huang Yan, and gently helped her up.

"Senior Sister Huang Yan, how are you? Are you seriously injured?" Xue Tianhan asked with concern on his face, his voice trembling slightly. He held Huang Yan's arms tightly with both hands, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.

Huang Yan raised her hand slightly, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, shook her head weakly, and forced a smile, saying, "I'm fine, it's just that this old man's strength is too strong, far beyond our imagination."

At this time, the old man walked towards them slowly with steady steps, his eyes as cold as ice, and he exuded a powerful and chilling pressure, as if he was a demon from the Nine Nether Hell, making people feel a deep fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Do you have any last words?" The old man said coldly, without any emotion in his voice. It was like a verdict coming from the Nine Nether Hell, making people feel despair.

Xue Tianhan took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, carefully protected Huang Yan behind him, looked directly at the old man with a firm gaze, and said, "Senior, we really didn't mean to break into this place. It was really because of an accident that we came here by mistake. I hope you can give us a chance to explain."

The old man snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph, trespassing into the forbidden area is an unforgivable sin. What else is there to explain?"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand again, spiritual power surging in his palm, ready to launch a fatal blow to end this dispute.

At this critical moment, a voice as loud as a bell rang from afar: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a white robe striding towards them. His eyes were as deep as the ocean, his temperament was extraordinary, and his every move exuded a powerful yet restrained aura. He was clearly a hidden master.

"Master, why are you here?" The old man was slightly startled when he saw the middle-aged man, then he quickly withdrew the spiritual power in his palm, bowed slightly and saluted with a very respectful attitude.

The middle-aged man waved his hand gently, his gaze slowly falling on Xue Tianhan and Huang Yan. A hint of doubt and inquiry was revealed in his eyes. He asked, "Elder Zhao, what's going on with these two people? Why are they fighting with you here?"

The old man quickly recounted what had happened. After listening to it, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Bring them back to the main hall first. I will make arrangements after I understand the situation in detail."

Xue Tianhan and Huang Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At least for the time being, they no longer faced the direct threat of death. They exchanged a glance, nodded silently, and then followed the crowd towards the main hall.

Along the way, both of them were nervous, not knowing what fate would be waiting for them next.

Xue Tianhan took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervousness. Then he respectfully bowed to the Kunlun Sect Master, straightened his body, and spoke slowly and sincerely, "Senior, we truly did not intend to trespass into your sect's forbidden area. It was truly an accident that led us here by mistake. Please allow us to explain the reason in detail."

The Kunlun Sect Leader frowned slightly, his eyes clearly showing that he was not completely satisfied with Xue Tianhan's explanation, but his tone was slightly softer than before, and he said:

"Accident? Humph, tell me, how did you manage to get through our mountain protection formation? Even we find it difficult to break that mountain protection formation. How did you, a Spirit Severing Stage junior, manage to bring a Foundation Establishment Stage kid along?"
