Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, at this moment, Chu Yunfan had a victorious smile on his face.

Just now, Chu Yunfan saw that Ying Jiuzhao's hands were frozen, so he seized the opportunity, bit off one of his teeth and used it as a hidden weapon to hit Ying Jiuzhao between the eyebrows.

Seeing that Eagle Nine Claws had stopped breathing, Chu Yunfan finally took the Snow Cold Sword from the other party's hand.

However, he was still not satisfied, so he cut off the other man's head as well.

He still vividly remembered the scene at the Thousand Absolute Ancient Land where the python feigned death to ambush him.

Even a python is so clever that it knows how to play dead, so humans can certainly do it too.

Several of Eagle Nine Claw's henchmen, who were rushing towards them from not far away, saw Eagle Nine Claw lying on the ground with his head chopped off by Chu Yunfan. Their eyes immediately showed fear, and they turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan did not immediately give chase, but instead quickly gathered up Eagle Nine Claws' corpse.

He didn't even have time to clean up; he simply put Eagle Nine Claws' entire corpse into his storage bag and quickly left.

He had heard the shouts earlier as well.

"I never expected that such a secluded valley would have a third group of people enter, and there were even Martial Master level experts among them. This is troublesome!"

Although Chu Yunfan wielded the Snow Frost Sword, a Martial Master's level expert far surpasses a Martial Beginner in terms of strength, speed, and adaptability.

Moreover, martial arts masters can also use their internal spiritual energy to launch ranged attacks.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan might not even have a chance to get close to the other party, and even with the Snow Frost Sword, he wouldn't be able to hurt him.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan had no intention of meeting the other party and only wanted to leave the valley immediately.

However, Chu Yunfan was ultimately one step short.

He had just set off when he discovered that the few Eagle Nine Claws underlings who had just escaped had been killed by an old man with a single palm strike from a distance.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but unexpectedly the other party had already turned to look at him.

The murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.

At this point, Chu Yunfan had no intention of running away, because he knew he couldn't outrun his opponent.

Just as Chu Yunfan was about to take out a crossbow from his storage bag to deal with the old man.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice rang out.

"Grandpa Ming, this young man looks like a good person, he's not one of those others. Please don't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

It turned out that the henchman that Eagle Nine Claws had sent to follow the girl and the others was discovered by the old man not long afterward.

Therefore, the old man learned that Eagle Nine Claws and others had entered the valley.

After learning about the strength of Eagle Nine Claws and the others, the old man immediately decided to kill them to silence them.

After all, there are many good things in this valley, and he doesn't want others to get a share.

That's why we're in this situation now.

However, the old man did not expect that when he was about to kill Chu Yunfan, his young mistress arrived and stopped him from killing him.

Seeing this, the old man explained:

"Miss, you can know a person's face but not their heart; you can't tell if someone is good or bad just by looking at them!"

After saying that, the old man prepared to continue his work.

Chu Yunfan, standing to the side, had an idea when he heard the old man address the girl.

"Miss? It seems this group of people comes from a family nearby."

Centered on the Qingyun Sword Sect, the area within a radius of 100,000 kilometers falls under the Qingyun Sword Sect's sphere of influence, and the families within it all depend on the Qingyun Sword Sect for survival.

"In that case, I have a solution!"

Then, under the old man's astonished gaze, Chu Yunfan pointed to his chest.

Only then did the old man notice the sword-shaped symbol on Chu Yunfan's chest.

"What are the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect doing here?"

As the old man knew, there were many entrances and routes on the outskirts of the Azure Demon Mountain Range.

Their location was quite far from the Qingyun Sword Sect, and it was rare for disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect to come here.

Therefore, the old man had not initially considered the issue of Chu Yunfan being a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

However, now that he knew Chu Yunfan's identity, the old man could no longer make a move.

He then spoke:

"Young hero of Qingyun Sword Sect, please forgive my poor eyesight. I failed to recognize your identity and almost made a grave mistake. Please forgive me."

Hearing the other party being so polite, Chu Yunfan also said:

"You're too kind, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Since the other party was a Martial Master, Chu Yunfan gave him face and let the matter drop.

This also made Chu Yunfan realize the benefits of joining a major power.

If he weren't a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, the other party wouldn't have been so polite to him; they would have already struck him with a palm.

At that moment, the girl who had spoken earlier also arrived, shouting excitedly:

"So you're a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect!"

I've heard that the Qingyun Sword Sect only accepts geniuses. So, you're a genius too?

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan was also taken aback, because he didn't know how to answer the question.

Logically speaking, the Qingyun Sword Sect only accepts geniuses. Since he has gained the Qingyun Sword Sect's recognition, he can be considered a genius.

However, judging from his initial test results on his affinity for swords, he could not be considered a genius.

To be precise, he wouldn't be considered a kendo genius.

Just as Chu Yunfan was at a loss for words, an old man stepped in to smooth things over.

“Miss, since this young hero has been able to join the Qingyun Sword Sect, he must be an outstanding person. Why do you need to ask such a question?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan smiled and nodded. He then didn't dwell on the topic further, but instead said:

"My mission to gain experience this time is complete, and I'm ready to return to my sect."

See you later, everyone!

After saying that, Chu Yunfan prepared to turn and leave.

After all, although this Martial Master realm expert was giving him face at the moment, there were still many treasures in this valley. If he continued to stay, he would naturally compete with the other party for the treasures.

If the other party turns their back on him for the treasure, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, the old man immediately understood his meaning and said with a smile:

"In that case, I wish you a safe journey, young hero!"

At this moment, the girl beside him wanted to continue talking to Chu Yunfan, but was stopped by the old man.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan walked out of the valley without looking back.

As soon as Chu Yunfan left, the girl couldn't wait to speak again:

"Grandpa Ming, why won't you let me talk to him?"

He's a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect; perhaps he can heal my father's injuries!

Upon hearing this, the old man shook his head and explained:

“Miss, the patriarch is a Martial Grandmaster. To heal his injuries, we would need at least a third-grade spiritual medicine or a third-grade pill.”

This person, dressed plainly and with a cultivation level of only the initial Martial Realm, was clearly just an ordinary outer disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect. How could he possibly possess such precious items as third-tier spiritual herbs or third-tier pills!

After hearing the old man's words, a look of melancholy appeared in the girl's eyes.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again:

"In that case, Grandpa Ming, let's continue searching in the valley. The spiritual energy here is abundant; there might be precious medicinal herbs here!"

After saying that, the girl turned and left.

The old man and the others quickly followed.

However, they returned at an even faster pace shortly after leaving, and everyone ran desperately out of the valley.

Behind them, a giant blue python, more than one meter in diameter and over thirty meters long, was emerging from the depths of the valley.
