Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 322 Convergence
This caused a cold glint to flash in Shi An's eyes. He then vanished from his spot and reappeared behind those creatures.

"Gentlemen, what are your intentions here?"

Shi An's voice was icy cold, carrying an unquestionable authority, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing straight towards those few living beings.

The creatures were clearly not prepared for Shi An's sudden appearance. They were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they turned around, revealing expressions of fear and vigilance.

One of the beings, who appeared to be the leader, forced a smile, trying to hide his unease: "Fellow Daoist, we were just passing through this place. Seeing the abundance of spiritual herbs, we thought we would come and take a look. We have no other intentions."

Shi An glanced at them coldly, his eyes revealing an undeniable authority.

He could sense the greedy aura emanating from these creatures. Clearly, they had long coveted the spiritual herbs in Yunxi and Huoling'er's hands, but had not acted rashly because they were wary of the two's strength.

Shi An sneered inwardly. These people actually dared to make a move on Yun Xi; they were truly courting death.

"To admire?"

Shi An sneered, his tone laced with sarcasm: "If that's the case, why don't you come openly and honestly, instead of sneaking around in the shadows?"

The leader was speechless for a moment after hearing Shi An's words, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

"Die!"

But before he could speak again, Shi An let out a cold snort, then pointed his fingers like a sword and swung it at the group.

"Shh!"

The next instant, a dazzling starlight sword aura shot out like lightning, heading straight for the group.

"what!"

With several screams, the creatures were struck by the Star Sword Qi, their bodies instantly exploding into dust and dissipating into the world.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of Yunxi and Huoling'er on the other side.

The two immediately became alert, abruptly turning around to look at each other with wary expressions.

However, when they saw that it was Shi An, their expressions changed immediately, revealing surprise and delight.

Yunxi quickly walked to Shi An's side, her eyes full of concern: "Brother An, are you alright?"

Looking at the expression in Yunxi's eyes, Shi An couldn't help but smile gently, and then reached out to gently brush away the grass clippings stuck to her temples: "They're just some clowns, they can't hurt me."

"By the way, Shi An."

Beside her, Huo Ling'er also came over, looking Shi An up and down, and asked in confusion, "Why did your tribulation take so long this time? When we passed through the three thousand stone steps, we could still see the sea of ​​lightning in the sky gathering and not dissipating."

Hearing this, Yunxi was equally puzzled, but she knew that Shi An must have his own reasons for doing this.

"Well..."

Shi An hesitated only slightly before explaining that he had been delayed because he was taking a bath in the lightning tribulation liquid.

"Taking a bath in lightning tribulation liquid?!"

Seeing that Shi An was actually taking a bath with the lightning tribulation liquid, Yun Xi and the other two women couldn't help but look a little strange.

The Thunder Tribulation Liquid was so precious that even sect leaders from the outside world would fight tooth and nail for it. Yet Shi An actually used it for a bath. This extravagant act truly astonished the two women.

"You're being way too extravagant!"

Huo Ling'er couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief.

Although Yunxi didn't speak, her slightly parted red lips revealed her inner shock. "Alright, let's not talk about me anymore."

Seeing the two women's shocked expressions, Shi An immediately changed the subject and asked Huo Ling'er, "Ling'er, do you know where Brother Hao is?"

"do not know."

To Shi An's surprise, Huo Ling'er shook her head when he asked her, saying, "He came to Xian Gu from the Sin State, which is quite far from Tian Xian State. Moreover, we don't have a special way of communicating like you and Sister Yun Xi."

"That's it..."

After hearing Huo Ling'er's explanation, Shi An was taken aback for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "It's alright. That kid is usually not peaceful. We just need to keep an eye out, and we should run into him soon."

"Too."

Hearing Shi An's words, Huo Ling'er thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. With Shi Hao's personality, he couldn't stay quiet even if he wanted to.

"Let's go, let's look for it."

After saying that, Shi An led Yun Xi and Huo Ling'er deeper into the eastern part of the Immortal Ancient City.

Along the way, they sometimes traversed dense jungles and sometimes crossed turbulent rivers. Everywhere they went, various rare medicinal herbs and mysterious relics came into view.

At the same time, they also heard many rumors: a ten-time champion, a banished immortal, Di Chong, the successor of the Immortal Palace, a person with double pupils, and so on...

Desolate!

"shortage?"

Upon hearing the name "Huang," Shi An paused, a glint of surprise flashing in his eyes. A slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing a hint of interest: "It seems that Brother Hao has caused quite a stir in this Immortal Ancient Land."

Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle: "Given his personality, it would be strange if he didn't cause some trouble."

Huo Ling'er excitedly waved her little fists, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Now that we know where he is, let's hurry over there!"

"it is good!"

And so, the three quickened their pace and sped off in the direction where Shi Hao was rumored to have appeared.

Along the way, they kept hearing about Shi Hao's various deeds, such as how he survived being burned by the Three Thousand Immortal Ancient Dao Flames for several months, how he single-handedly broke into the small world where the Demon Dragon Dao Sect was located, not only killing the sect's first generation, but also eating its flesh and tendons. What was even more frightening was that he had actually subdued two first generation members.

All of this excited Huo Ling'er, but she couldn't help but worry that the other party might not be able to handle it.

Thinking this, Huo Ling'er quickened her pace slightly.

Upon seeing this, Shi An and Yun Xi exchanged a smile and then silently increased their speed to follow closely behind.

Unbeknownst to them, the three of them followed the legends of the wilderness, stopping and starting along the way, and eventually returned to their starting point—the Three Thousand Stone Steps!

“This guy…”

Seeing Shi Hao confronting a cloud of gray mist creature on the stone steps, looking tense and ready to fight, Huo Ling'er didn't hesitate to step forward to help.

But before she could take a step, Shi An raised his hand to stop her: "Don't rush, he is undergoing a tribulation. If you go up, it will only affect him."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er instantly realized her mistake and refrained from acting rashly.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, the gray mist on the stone steps came to life. It took a step and instantly crossed a hundred feet, appearing in front of Shi Hao. At the same time, the bronze spear in its hand pierced straight towards Shi Hao's brow, fast, ruthless, and accurate!
