At that moment, Wei Junhao and Song Yiyun took the initiative to approach Su Ran.
Su Ran was unaware of the grudge between them, but seeing the two closing in with ill intent, she immediately became wary.
Instinctively, she halted her steps, formed a hand seal, and began gathering energy.
When they were only a few meters away, Wei Junhao suddenly leaped into the air, lunging at Su Ran with great speed.
At the same time, Song Yiyun activated her spiritual energy, transforming into a blur as she rushed toward Su Ran.
“Miss Su, I’m sorry!” Wei Junhao said as he soared through the air, his spiritual energy surging around him. A martial spirit manifested behind him, and his sword emitted a low hum.
Su Ran’s brows furrowed slightly, but instead of attacking or fleeing immediately, she remained calm and asked, “We have no personal grievances. Why are you doing this?”
Seeing that Su Ran didn’t run or resist right away, Wei Junhao hesitated. His sword, which was only ten meters away from striking, remained poised in the air.
“Miss Su, it’s true that we have no personal enmity.”
“However, your husband’s elder brother used underhanded means to ambush me and stole the Hovering Grass that rightfully belonged to me.”
“Since I’ve encountered you, I naturally need you to settle this with Chen Yang.” Wei Junhao spoke from his elevated position, confident that Su Ran was already trapped and capturing her would be an easy task.
“Senior, why waste time talking to her?”
“We just need to capture her, and Chen Yang will be forced to show himself.”
Song Yiyun was clearly displeased with Wei Junhao’s hesitation. It was obvious that Su Ran’s peerless beauty had made her senior develop some protective feelings.
The more Song Yiyun thought about it, the more envious and hateful she became. Without waiting for Wei Junhao to respond, she struck without hesitation.
Since her senior was reluctant to harm a beauty, she would do it herself.
With no delay, Song Yiyun’s sword tore through the air, aiming straight for Su Ran’s heart.
“Junior Sister…”
Wei Junhao wanted to say that as long as Su Ran cooperated, there was no need to attack her. However, Song Yiyun didn’t give him a chance to finish his sentence.
Hearing their intent, Su Ran’s eyes flashed coldly.
So, it was these two from whom Chen Fei had taken the Hovering Grass.
Since the grass had been taken for her sake, and these people intended to use her to target Chen Fei, there was no reason for her to show mercy.
Especially since Wei Tinghong had once joined forces with Leaf Chenxing from the City Lord’s Mansion to hunt them down in Luo Xuan Valley—their enmity had already been set in stone.
“Courting death!”
Seeing Song Yiyun’s ruthless attack, Su Ran let out a cold snort. In an instant, spiritual energy surged around her, and a phantom phoenix materialized.
“What?”
“A phoenix bloodline!”
Wei Junhao and Song Yiyun’s faces changed drastically. The moment the phoenix’s phantom appeared, an invisible force pressed down on them, making it hard to breathe.
The immense suppression shook them to their core, filling them with an overwhelming sense of fear.
Boom!
With a mere flick of Su Ran’s delicate fingers, a condensed aura of spiritual energy shot forth like a divine weapon, shattering Song Yiyun’s defensive shield.
Pfft!
The energy pierced through Song Yiyun’s chest, leaving a gaping hole.
Blood stained her robes as her life force drained away at an astonishing speed. She was still in utter shock, unable to process what had just happened.
“How…” Song Yiyun’s terrified gaze dimmed as her body collapsed lifelessly.
Wei Junhao, witnessing Song Yiyun’s instantaneous demise, finally snapped out of his fear-stricken state. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.
“Die!”
Su Ran would never allow him to escape—one must remove weeds by the root.
Immediately, several spiritual energy swords rained down upon Wei Junhao like an inescapable storm.
Sensing the imminent death descending upon him, Wei Junhao unleashed his strongest martial technique in a desperate attempt to resist.
However, when his sword clashed with the energy rain, he realized its terrifying power—his technique was effortlessly shattered.
“Miss Su, spare me!”
Wei Junhao finally understood. Even though he had recently stepped into the True Spirit Master realm as a recognized genius, he was nothing compared to someone with a legendary bloodline.
His martial technique was broken, his protective barrier shattered, and the energy swords descended upon him. His face turned pale with despair.
He had worked so hard to step into the True Spirit Master realm, believing his bright future lay ahead—only to find himself in a desperate situation.
But Su Ran showed no emotion in response to his plea. Under her control, the rain of swords pierced through Wei Junhao’s body.
Boom!
It was as if explosives had detonated inside him, completely obliterating him in an instant.
Only then did Su Ran retract her bloodline ability, swiftly looting the bodies of the two fallen enemies.
On the other side, as Su Ran activated the Yin-Yang Emperor Sutra to locate Chen Fei, he also sensed her call.
“Su Ran is looking for me?”
A surge of joy filled Chen Fei’s heart. Without hesitation, he activated the Yin-Yang Emperor Sutra as well, and within moments, he locked onto Su Ran’s position.
The two quickly moved toward each other. After Su Ran had dealt with Wei Junhao and Song Yiyun, it didn’t take long for them to reunite.
“My wife!”
Chen Fei, overjoyed, naturally pulled Su Ran into his embrace.
“Have you fulfilled your promise to Silver Moon Academy?” Su Ran asked.
“Yes!” Chen Fei nodded. “From now on, we are free to act on our own.”
“Good!” Su Ran responded. “The best opportunity in the first layer of this secret realm is where the spirit mines are located. Not only is the spiritual energy there rich, but rare celestial treasures also grow there. If we’re lucky, we might even find supreme-grade spirit stones.”
“We must claim that place before anyone else.”
Chen Fei had heard about this from Lu Yijun before entering, but given the vastness of the secret realm, locating the spirit mines was no easy task.
“The secret realm is huge, and I have no idea where the spirit mines could be. My vision here is severely limited.” Chen Fei sighed helplessly.
“No worries, I have a way to find them,” Su Ran said with a confident smile.
“Really?” Chen Fei’s eyes lit up.
“Yes!” Su Ran nodded. “Spirit mines contain an abundance of energy, and I can sense them using a special technique. As long as we get within ten miles of a mine, I can pinpoint its exact location.”
“That’s amazing!”
Chen Fei hadn’t expected Su Ran to have such an ability. A ten-mile range in this vast forest was an incredible advantage over their competitors.
This greatly increased their chances of securing the spirit mines ahead of others.
The couple held each other for a brief moment before swiftly heading toward the inner region, determined to find the spirit mines.
