All Swords Valley (Tianyan Extra 1)

The boundless forest resembles the ebb and flow of a vast ocean.

In the height of summer, the ancient trees in the primeval forest are towering and lush, and the sounds of cicadas and beasts are incessant. Occasionally, the sound of a giant beast moving in the forest can be faintly heard, causing the earth to tremble.

In this tranquility belonging to nature, two figures darted past treetop after tree.

A man and a woman moved quickly, yet silently.

By the time the withered branches and fallen leaves finally began to drift down, the figure had already appeared a hundred meters away.

It is unknown how long this lasted.

Looking at the monotonous, dense forest branches all around, the man's expression had become somewhat numb.

Seven years have passed since he and the washboard saintess entered the illusion.

What they've been doing for the past seven years has been quite simple.

They ran away.

They've been on the run.

An eternal escape.

Compared to the Great Yan world of today, the Illusionary World of 20,000 years ago, under the influence of the Source Qi, was practically overflowing with Origin Beginning, and Grandmaster were as rare as dogs.

This also means that the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion and the Taiqing Dao Palace have a large number of high-level thugs hunting them down.

And more importantly,

This generation's Heavenly Oversight Pavilion Master doesn't have the usual villainous habit of throwing his own head around.

In the first year after he and Tianyan fled, he appointed a Mortal Shedding expert to lead a team to hunt them down.

After the pursuit failed, a sage was assigned to lead a team to search for him and Tianyan for many years.

What is even more despairing is that...

The opponent Yantian Art.

The world may be vast, but there is nowhere left for him and her to hide.

They would settle in a certain area, and the pursuit would begin within half a day to several months.

No matter how well they hid, no matter where they were in a secret location, their pursuers were like maggots clinging to their backs.

However, everything is relative.

Because they also possess the Yantian Art.

Whenever the other party makes a deduction, Tianyan can sense it, allowing them to escape in advance and avoid being directly blocked at the door.

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye during the chase.

"Don't get distracted, your Qi is dissipating a bit."

A cold yet clear girl's voice suddenly rang in Xu Yuan's heart, tinged with a hint of disdain. "Once you leave behind any fluctuations of Source Qi, that woman Tianye can find you by following her aura."

Xu Yuan's expression turned serious upon hearing this, then he chuckled softly:

"Your Pavilion Master certainly values us highly. We had one of your Holy Sons killed before, and now you've sent another Holy Maiden. Your Heavenly Oversight Pavilion is truly a powerful and influential place."

"You talk too much nonsense."

Tianyan glanced coldly at Xu Yuan, her pale purple flowing dress instantly accelerating, leaving a beautiful silhouette in the lush green forest before disappearing from Xu Yuan's sight.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan pushed off with his feet and quickly caught up with Tianyan.

Although his combat strength is currently weak, his physical realm had already broken through to the Origin Beginning Realm three years ago.

This could be considered a cheat code that Yuchu gave him, allowing him to keep pace with Jing He's cultivation growth rate in real time.

Tianyan is the Origin Beginning Realm that he has broken through again, and he does not need to cultivate; his cultivation level will increase all the way.

Upon arriving at Tianyan, Xu Yuan glanced at the primeval forest bathed in the golden sunset and asked softly:

"Is it alright that your Source Qi has dissipated?"

Since escaping from his previous destination, Qinhua Town, he had been traveling using his physical body, while Tianyan had been continuously circulating the Yantian Art.

Tianyan didn't turn his head, his cold and stern face fixed on the distance ahead:

"It's alright."

"Why?"

"The Source Qi of the Tianyan Technique will not leave any trace."

Are you sure?

"Aren't you annoying? I said it's okay, so it's okay. Just focus on your journey!"

"Tsk, you're on your period?"

"What?"

"Sunflower water."

"Xu Changtian, I'm warning you, don't try to cause trouble!"

Tianyan seemed rather irritable today.

Xu Yuan's eyes looked innocent:

"I just want to ask, why did the Pavilion Master suddenly send an additional Holy Maiden, and why can't I use Source Qi to travel anymore?"

"I don't know," Tianyan answered decisively.

"Really?" Xu Yuan asked with a doubtful look.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Tianyan took a deep breath and sighed softly:

"Once I've answered you, stop bothering me. The Yantian Art's ability to deduce heavenly secrets isn't without its costs. Seven years is a long time; this generation's Pavilion Master should be nearing his limit."

"."

Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that deducing heavenly secrets is also a burden for the pavilion master himself.

After a pause, Xu Yuan continued to ask:

"What does this have to do with that saintess?"

"Although the Source Qi will dissipate, it will always leave some traces of the cultivator in the world."

The rushing wind tousled her long, flowing hair, and her voice held a hint of impatience. "Ordinary cultivators cannot see these traces, but the Yantian Art can."

Xu Yuan stroked his chin and transmitted his voice:

"Then send that woman over from the beginning."

"Insufficient cultivation level."

Tianyan interrupted him directly, "You killed Tianrui, the strongest Holy Son of this generation, seven years ago. That woman must have just broken through to the Origin Beginning. Sending her with only a third-grade cultivation to hunt him down would mean two things: first, her perception is insufficient, and second, she would easily die at our hands."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment:

"So, does that mean the intensity of our pursuit will gradually decrease in the future?"

Tianyan glanced at Xu Yuan, remained silent for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"Perhaps. After all, the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion has more than just the two of us to guard against. All the sects in the world are waiting for the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion to decline."

"Ha, you're talking like a traitor. Why don't you join our Prime Minister's Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Xu Yuan!"

Tianyan suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face flushed. "Do you believe I'll just leave you here?"

Xu Yuan, however, showed no fear upon hearing this, and stared at her harmless threat with a smile.

Once Tianyan leaves and loses her perception of Yantian, he will most likely not be able to escape the next pursuit.

But the same Tianyan.

Looking around, they see enemies everywhere; the only people they can truly trust are each other.

The Demon-Enchanting Cherry Blossom Poison is a time bomb within her body.

Without outside help, once the poison takes effect, death is inevitable.

The sun sets in the west.

She stood suspended in mid-air, while he stood atop the tree trunk.

The golden sunset painted her flushed face with a rosy hue.

They looked at each other without saying a word.

Tianyan bit his lip and let out a heavy, cold snort:

"They're gone."

"Okay."

Xu Yuan chuckled upon hearing this.

Tianyan glanced at him, then activated his Cultivation Method and prepared to leave.

And it was at this moment that...

Amidst the calls of hooves and birds in the sunset forest,

The slender girl in the pale purple flowing dress suddenly plummeted downwards into the forest.

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted.

With a stomp of his foot, a blur of motion swept past.

Xu Yuan caught the falling girl in mid-air.

The moment Xu Yuan touched the girl's body, which felt as hot as boiling water through her clothes, he understood what had happened.

The illness has started.

Seven years have passed; nothing seems surprising anymore.

The princess, holding the girl in her arms, slowly descended to the ground.

The base of the hundred-meter-tall tree, shaded by its lush branches, felt somewhat cold, but the girl's delicate body in his arms was burning hot.

Tianyan recovered from his brief moment of distraction:

"Let... let me go."

Xu Yuan sighed softly:

"Are you injured?"

"No."

Tianyan vehemently denied it.

Xu Yuan snorted softly, his eyes amused.

After a brief silence, Tianyan closed his eyes, and two words of truth emerged from his rosy lips:

"Calm down."

"Concentrate."

After saying that,

Tianyan opened his eyes and bit his lip:

"We have to get out of here quickly. In my current state, if they catch up, we won't be able to escape."

As she spoke, Tianyan struggled to get out of Xu Yuan, but the more she struggled, the hotter her body became from the man's presence so close to her.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan gently put her down from his arms.

As soon as he landed, Tianyan was about to get up and fly away.

However, Xu Yuan, who was quick-witted and agile, stopped him.

Holding the girl's slender, fair wrist, Xu Yuan's voice was neither cold nor indifferent:

"Your injuries seem quite serious; even the suppressive effects of the Heavenly Word Mantra and the effects of the Charm Poison have weakened."

"Rest, I'll help you heal."

"I told you I'm fine!" Tianyan anxiously.

The crisp sound echoed, startling a flock of birds into flight through the woods.

Xu Yuan looked at him and calmly repeated:

"Rest, I'll help you heal."

As he spoke, he pressed the girl down and made her sit on the root of a giant tree that was a hundred meters tall.

"Let me go!"

Tianyan's eyebrows furrowed. "Ugh. You bastard, what are you doing?!"

Xu Yuan put his arm around her waist, leaned forward, and gently blew on her earlobe, whispering softly:

"Don't move."

That being said, Tianyan clearly wouldn't listen to him.

She struggled desperately, kicking wildly with her bare feet, trying to push him away.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan's current cultivation level is also at the Origin Beginning, and she is currently suffering from the effects of the Charm Poison, causing her Source Qi to stagnate and her mind to become clouded.

She simply couldn't break free from his hold on her.

In the struggle, Xu Yuan skillfully turned her over, binding her two slender arms behind her back, and pressed her face down onto his legs.

"Xu Yuan, you bastard!"

Xu Yuan looked at the girl who was struggling like a quail on his lap and said calmly:

"If you say another word, I'll strip you naked."

"You dare?!" Tianyan stopped in his tracks, turned around and glared at him.

Xu Yuan reached out and grabbed the elaborate neckline of the girl's pale purple flowing dress, chuckling softly:

"The Holy Maiden has a terrible memory; it's not like she hasn't done this before."

"."

Tianyan pursed her red lips tightly, glared at him, but said nothing.

Seeing that the washboard saintess had finally behaved, Xu Yuan released her collar and whispered:

"It's been ten days since we escaped, they couldn't have caught up so quickly, and given your current condition, your travel speed probably won't be very fast. Why don't you rest here and recover before continuing?"

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan whispered softly:

"I'm coming in, don't resist."

As he spoke,

He skillfully lifted a corner of Tianyan Liuxian's dress, reached inside, and touched the delicate skin on the girl's back the instant...

"Um"

A soft, seductive moan rang out.

Xu Yuan glanced at the girl lying on his lap.

Tianyan was also looking at him, her cheeks flushed, her alluring eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

They looked at each other for a few moments.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she gritted her teeth as she uttered three words:

"Lecher."

"Really."

Xu Yuan smiled and didn't argue.

With their current cultivation levels, they can heal each other through clothing or even without physical contact, but the efficiency will be lower.

and,

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.

Xu Yuan's large hand reached inside and groped around inside the girl's clothes.

Upon seeing this, the girl lying down bit Xu Yuan's thigh.

Xu Yuan frowned but didn't say anything. He found the entrance to the Huiyuan Acupoint and poured the Source Qi into it.

"."

Her sensitive body, brimming with Charm Poison, caused Tianyan's delicate frame to tremble slightly, but she bit his thigh tightly, uttering not a sound.

Over the course of seven years, she has learned how to remain silent while healing.

Because if she made a sound, that lecherous bastard would harass her.

Xu Yuan's eyes were very serious.

Having grasped the Charm God Dao Rhyme, he had become quite adept at removing the Charm Poison.

Of course, activating the Charm Poison is even easier.

after all,

The Charm God Dao Rhyme and the Demon-Enchanting Cherry Blossom Poison are fundamentally connected.

Once again, he entered the girl's meridians, his Source Qi skillfully absorbing the poison of the enchanting goddess along the way.

As they went deeper, Xu Yuan's brows furrowed unconsciously.

After a while,

His soft, low voice rang out:

"How did you get so badly injured?"

Tianyan bit his thigh, his tiger teeth sinking into his flesh through his robes, his voice muffled:

"I was caught up by Tianye earlier."

"Are there other people?" Xu Yuan asked softly, "Mortal Shedding?"

"Um"

"Well"

With a soft sigh, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of pity.

Ten days ago, when the pursuers arrived, she ordered them to flee in different directions.

Now it seems that it should be her turn to attract the attention of those who are hunting her down.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.

He's too weak.

He possesses the cultivation level of the Origin Beginning, but lacks the combat power of the Origin Beginning.

"Feel sorry."

"."

The sudden apology startled Tianyan. He shifted uncomfortably on Tianyan's lap, remained silent for several breaths, and then spoke softly:

"You bastard. At least you're much better than at the beginning."

Xu Yuan chuckled lightly:

"Heh, I'll catch up with you as soon as possible."

Tianyan's lips curled slightly, his beautiful eyes half-closed:

"You? You should focus on merging with the Dao first."

"Now that I've merged with the Dao, I can directly manipulate the Enchanting God Poison within your body from a distance."

"That's perfect, I hate physical contact with you."

"Ah, I meant to activate."

"Lecher"

"Really."

"Snort."

The words fell silent as the setting sun cast its last rays.

There is no moon tonight; the entire earth is shrouded in darkness, and the forest is deathly silent.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Xu Yuan."

A chilling voice suddenly shattered the silence. "Have you had enough?"

"Um?"

"Have you touched enough?"

"This is to help you heal your wounds."

"Heal your wound? If you don't pull your hand away, I'll chop it off."

"Fine, fine, take it out. You've almost bitten the flesh off my leg, and you're still criticizing me."

"Hurry up... wait, what are you doing touching down there, you bastard!!"

Tianyan seemed to sense something and immediately swung his elbow at Xu Yuan's face.

There was absolutely no holding back!

As the wind pressure surged, Xu Yuan's pupils contracted. He activated his Cultivation Method, and a blood-red light flashed in his eyes. He quickly raised his hand to block.

Smack

A gust of wind swept by.

He held the girl's delicate elbow in his hand.

Xu Yuan, still somewhat shaken, clicked his tongue and said:

"How can I pull it out if I don't go down?"

Tianyan's cheeks still flushed, and he leaped off his leg, hovering in mid-air.

"You think I don't know what you're thinking, you lecherous bastard? You're all driven by lust, don't you even know where you are?"

Xu Yuan is a bachelor, (laughs)

"It's only natural. Who told you to be so beautiful?"

"."

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, Tianyan's bright eyes flashed, and his golden pupils looked away:

"Enough talk, let's go."

Having said that, he vanished from the spot in a flash, as if fleeing for his life.

Xu Yuan chuckled, slowly stood up from the ground, took a step forward, and followed, asking telepathically:

"Hey, where do we go to stay now?"

Tianyan paused for a moment, then replied:

"There's an ancient battlefield ahead; that should give us some cover for a while."

"All Swords Valley?" Xu Yuan.

"Hmm." Tianyan.

Xu Yuan hesitated slightly:

"That place... seems to be a restricted area."

Her long hair danced in the darkness; the girl seemed to be in a good mood. Turning her head, her words carried a hint of mockery:

"Don't be afraid, even if we enter the restricted area, I'll protect you, you bastard."
