The moon dyed the courtyard a grayish white, and the stars filled the entire night sky. In the manor at night, there was an indescribable silence, and an even heavier solemnity.
He Yiming was in his room. His thoughts were still lingering on the three people from the Fan family who had come yesterday.
Fan Haoyue naturally wasn't in his consideration. He was slightly older than his brother, and his internal energy cultivation seemed to be higher than his brother's. Although he hadn't reached the peak of the seventh level, he could be considered one of the top figures in his generation.
He Yiming hadn't traveled much, but he had seen many young talents, especially the four great families of Huoluo. There were as many young experts as there were clouds. But to be able to reach the peak of seventy percent before the age of twenty-five was extremely rare.
Someone like Lin Taoli, who had reached the ninth level of internal energy before the age of forty, was even rarer.
However, after his experience in the Xie family, He Yiming understood that Lin Taoli must have used a lot of Golden Elixirs to reach this level.
Aside from the Golden Elixir that could help one break through the limit, there was also the Energy Golden Elixir that could quickly increase one's energy, and thus achieve the effect of converting internal energy. He Yiming wouldn't believe that Lin Taoli had been able to reach this level without using any of those two Golden Elixirs.
Therefore, young experts like He Yiming and Fan Haori, who were born in ordinary aristocratic families, were able to cultivate to the peak of the seventh level before the age of thirty. They were already rare geniuses that only appeared once every few decades.
Of course, He Yiming himself was an exception. After his adventure in the lake, his speed of advancement couldn't be measured by the speed of ordinary people.
However, although Fan Haori was outstanding, He Yiming didn't think much of him. What he cared about were the Xiao brothers who had come with Fan Haori.
The strength of these two people was not to be underestimated. It was one thing for them to have those strange armguards, but what really moved He Yiming was that set of magical footwork.
Ever since the two left yesterday, He Yiming had been hiding in his room the entire time. He tried his best to restore this set of footwork, and even wanted to combine this set of footwork with Lin Taoli's Seal of Clouds and Rain to form a complete set of footwork techniques that belonged to him.
He Yiming had a feeling that as long as this cultivation method was created by him, then it would definitely be a Xiantian cultivation method.
However, creating a set of Xiantian cultivation method was easier said than done. Even if He Yiming had an incredible fortuitous encounter, coupled with the fact that he had seen two different abilities that were of the same origin, it was still not easy to do so.
He Yiming let out a long sigh and finally opened his eyes.
A bright light flashed in his eyes. He was secretly calculating if he could force the Xiao brothers to hand over the Xiantian Light Body Technique after he captured them alive.
However, he only thought about it for a moment. The current him was not as vicious as he was now.
Suddenly, He Yiming's head tilted slightly, and his face revealed an extremely shocked expression.
If he didn't hear wrongly, then an expert must have taken advantage of the night to climb over the wall and sneak in from outside the manor. If He Yiming, a Xiantian expert, wasn't present, no one would have been able to detect the slightest movement.
At the very least, He Yiming was sure that Eldest Uncle He Quanxin wouldn't be able to detect it no matter what.
However, in the next moment, He Yiming's face revealed an intense look of surprise.
He could already tell that the person who climbed over the wall had an extremely brilliant Light Body Technique. Most importantly, this person's Light Body Technique was obviously very similar to the Xiao brothers'.
However, after a moment, He Yiming immediately confirmed that this person was definitely not the Xiao brothers.
This was because this person's inner strength wasn't at Level 9, but had reached Level 10, which was the peak of Acquired Stage. Although he had just advanced, it was far from what a Level 9 inner strength could compare to.
In addition, although this person's Cultivation Method was similar to the Xiao brothers' Xiantian Cultivation Method, it was only similar. He was far from learning the true essence of that Cultivation Method.
He Yiming pondered for a moment and suddenly understood.
This person probably had a certain relationship with the Xiao brothers, but he didn't have the talent of the Xiao brothers in terms of Cultivation Method, so he couldn't learn the Xiantian Cultivation Method.
Indeed, Xiantian Battle Skills were extremely powerful. Apart from those who possessed extremely outstanding talent, it wasn't something that anyone could cultivate.
Even a Acquired Stage 10 inner strength expert might not be able to learn the Xiantian Cultivation Method of the same element.
He Yiming's mind turned, and a cold smile appeared on his face. Since this person had come here, of course, he had to properly entertain him.
He gently opened the door. Under the ingenious control of his Genuine Qi, there wasn't even the slightest bit of sound.
As the number of times He Yiming used Genuine Qi increased, he also understood it more.
If a large amount of Genuine Qi was imbued into a weapon during a battle, it would be extremely powerful. However, not all weapons could withstand the erosion of Genuine Qi. If there was no stainless steel or mineral fusion of the same level, the powerful Genuine Qi would be enough to melt gold and iron. Especially during a battle, if a large amount of Genuine Qi was imbued into an ordinary weapon, it would destroy one's own weapon before injuring the enemy.
However, if it was in normal life, he only needed to mobilize a small amount of True Qi, then it would play a very good role, and it would not destroy the things around him.
The longer he entered the Xiantian Realm, the more experience he had in using Genuine Qi. The more he felt that he couldn't leave Genuine Qi.
He Yiming's body moved slightly as he strode forward. His feet seemed to land heavily on the ground, but the soles of his shoes seemed to be padded with a thick layer of cotton. It was as if they had suddenly turned into cat paws. There was no sound at all.
He had never specially cultivated a Lightness Technique, but under the effect of Genuine Qi, it was extremely easy for him to land without making a sound.
Just as He Yiming walked out of his courtyard, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
He didn't know if the visitor in the night was lucky or unlucky.
Just as the person was walking towards the interior of the manor, Eldest Uncle He Quanxin suddenly stood up and walked out.
He Yiming was surprised. Could it be that Eldest Uncle had detected that person's intrusion?
After a while, He Quanxin pushed open the door, and at that moment, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow from the corner of his eye. Almost at the same time, the black shadow turned its head and met He Quanxin's gaze in the air.
This was a pair of eyes that had been prepared. The sharp and malicious gaze carried an aggressive aura.
Although the person's head was covered with a black cloth and his face was covered, his body was as straight as a wooden stake, without the slightest bit of bending.
In an instant, He Yiming and He Quanxin both understood. It turned out that this person had sneaked into the manor in the middle of the night not to hide or do any shady business, but to openly meet He Quanxin.
He Yiming sighed in his heart. He had still underestimated this person.
An expert at the peak of the Acquired Stage with Inner Strength Level Ten naturally had his own dignity. Even if it was at night, he wouldn't be looked down upon in the slightest.
He Quanxin's gaze froze, and he immediately felt the powerful aura emanating from the other party's body.
This was an expert at the same level as him, a powerful expert that wasn't any weaker than him.
In the face of such an expert, He Quanxin's blood seemed to gradually boil. Ever since he had advanced to Stage Ten Internal Force, he had never met a worthy opponent.
In the He Family Manor, whether it was He Wude or his strange nephew, He Yiming, it was impossible for them to engage in a life and death battle with him. As for the Xiao brothers from yesterday, although they had strong martial arts, they were not Inner Force Stage Ten masters. It was indeed difficult to enjoy fighting with them.
At this moment, there was an evenly matched opponent in front of him. Naturally, this made He Quanxin, who was known as the He Family's martial arts fanatic, excited.
As if he had felt He Quanxin's fighting spirit, the masked person suddenly took a step forward. In just one step, he had already arrived in front of He Quanxin.
As he charged forward, he brought with him an extremely hot temperature. The pair of palms that he pushed out were as scary as soldering iron.
He Yiming's heart suddenly jumped. This was a fire-based technique, and it had reached Stage Ten. It was a technique that possessed great power.
Among the five elements, fire-based techniques might not be the strongest in terms of attack power, but they were definitely second to none in terms of invasiveness.
When the fire-based technique was released to the extreme, the aura that could burn the sky and boil the sea suddenly rushed out like a volcanic eruption.
"Whoosh …"
The surrounding air was greatly affected at this moment, and it became dry and hot. The small flowers and grass on the ground that he stepped on instantly withered.
He Quanxin's eyes shone brightly. He didn't shout, but chose to silently counterattack.
He pushed out his hands flatly, as if there was a huge mountain in front of him that couldn't be climbed. However, when he pushed out with both hands, it felt as if even the mountain would be toppled by him.
The heaviness, steadiness, and weight of the earth-based technique had been displayed incisively and vividly at this moment.
It was in this kind of unscrupulous and tit-for-tat battle that he could unleash his proudest ability. At this moment, He Quanxin only felt refreshed, and his body was full of energy.
"Boom …"
A huge collision sound was heard from the two people's palms.
The masked man suddenly moved forward and then suddenly retreated. His red and white hands seemed to have faded a little.
He Quanxin's feet were flat apart, and he had sunk a few inches into the ground. The red light on his body flashed, and a trace of charred black appeared on his coat. However, it only damaged his clothes a little, and didn't cause any substantial damage to him.
This exchange of blows seemed to be evenly matched, but as a bystander, He Yiming knew that his Eldest Uncle's inner strength was slightly higher. Thus, he was able to put down the heavy stone in his heart.
When experts of the same level fought, the difference of a line was a thousand miles.
If the masked man didn't have any special tricks up his sleeves, he would have no chance of winning the battle.
If the Xiao brothers had broken through to the tenth level, then He Yiming would still be worried for his uncle. After all, the two of them had mastered an Innate Light-body Technique. An acquired cultivator with an Innate combat skill was definitely invincible among those of the same level.
However, this person was different. He obviously didn't cultivate that Innate combat skill, and only learned a Light-body Technique. How could he defeat He Quanxin?
After all, He Quanxin wasn't a newbie. He had cultivated martial arts for decades, and even He Wude couldn't stop praising him as the He family's martial arts fanatic.
In particular, the technique he cultivated was the most stable of the Five Elements Cultivation Methods, the Earth Element Cultivation Method. The biggest characteristic of this technique was its sturdiness and stability. As long as the technique didn't restrain the opponent, if one's strength was slightly weaker, he would definitely not be able to defeat the opponent. However, if one's strength was slightly higher, it would be difficult to lose.
The stone in the latrine was smelly and hard. This was the truest portrayal of the earth-based technique.
"Who's there …"
"There's an assassin …"
"Catch the thief …"
Almost at the next moment, countless shouts came from every corner of the manor.
The collision between two Level Ten inner strength experts was so intense that even the people in the nearby courtyards were awakened by the loud noise, let alone the people in this courtyard.
The masked man looked deeply at He Quanxin, then suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Good technique, Level Ten of the earth-based technique. I've learned a lot."
After saying that, the masked man's figure moved. Instantly, like a ball of trembling black flame, he left the way he came.
He Quanxin raised his foot, but suddenly stopped. He looked at the masked man's figure and couldn't help but think.
With his eyesight, he naturally knew that the masked man's Light-body Technique was above his. Even if he chased after him with all his might, he wouldn't be able to catch up. Since that was the case, it was better to hide than to embarrass himself. It was better to save some energy!
In the Yuan Manor, there were naturally people on night watch. After hearing the noise, they immediately ran over. However, when they arrived, they realized that only He Quanxin was there. The so-called thief had already flown far away and disappeared without a trace.
In a flash, Yuan Zhencheng had already appeared. There was a hint of shock and anger on his face.
There was actually someone causing trouble in the Yuan Manor. That was a naked provocation. Naturally, he was flustered and exasperated.
"Brother He, who exactly is he?"
He Quanxin shook his head slightly and said, "That person covered his face. He exchanged a palm with me, then retreated."
Yuan Zhencheng was stunned. He immediately felt a chill on his back.
To be able to exchange a palm with He Quanxin and then retreat calmly, such a person, even if it was him, wouldn't be able to do it.
"Brother He, was that person injured?" He asked with a glimmer of hope.
He Quanxin still shook his head and said, "No, this person's inner strength is strong. It's not below mine."
This time, Yuan Zhencheng's face turned green. The person who came tonight was actually a master of the tenth level of inner strength? Fortunately, this person met He Quanxin. If it was him …
Yuan Zhencheng shook his head. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Brother He, fortunately you found out early. If this person really did evil in the manor, then other than you, no one would be able to stop him."
Hearing his flattery, He Quanxin couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said, "Brother Yuan, you flatter me. I just wanted to go out and fight on a whim. I just didn't expect to meet this person as soon as I opened the door. "He paused, then said," I think this person came especially for me. "
Yuan Zhencheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother He, do you know who this person is?"
He Quanxin waved his hand lightly, and suddenly asked, "Brother Yuan, you once said that Fan Shuhe practiced water martial arts, right?"
Yuan Zhencheng immediately said, "Yes, he practiced water martial arts." His face tightened, and he asked sternly, "Could this person be Fan Shuhe?"
He Quanxin sighed softly, and said, "This person is definitely not Fan Shuhe, because he uses a fire martial arts of the tenth level."
Yuan Zhencheng was startled. He couldn't think of any other master who would choose to visit the Yuan manor at this time, and especially come especially for He Quanxin.
But if it was said that this person had nothing to do with the Fan family, then he definitely wouldn't believe it.
He Quanxin thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Yuan, although this person isn't Fan Shuhe, his light martial arts seem to be similar to the Xiao brothers from yesterday."
Yuan Zhencheng's face instantly paled. He had seen the power of the Xiao brothers with his own eyes. When the two of them worked together, they were almost equivalent to a tenth level inner strength master. If another tenth level master came, then the promise of ten days would be a complete joke.
He Quanxin saw the other person's face, and his heart trembled. He hurriedly said, "Brother Yuan, in the dark night, I only took a glance, and may not be right. You don't have to be too worried."
Yuan Zhencheng forced a smile, but his heart didn't relax at all.
With He Quanxin's strength and eyesight, if he didn't have a certain degree of certainty, how could he casually say it? The person who came today was definitely related to the Xiao brothers.
Although Yuan Zhencheng's heart was in a mess, he had seen the world, and knew that he couldn't panic now. After loudly ordering everyone to go back and rest, he also left, and went to Old Master Yuan's room to discuss important matters.
He Quanxin returned to his room, and immediately saw He Yitian. But at this moment, He Yitian's face had lost its usual calmness, and he said softly, "Father, Yiming disappeared."
He Quanxin was startled, and asked, "What?"
"I didn't see Yiming come out just now, and I was worried, so I went to his room to look for him. But I didn't expect that there was no one in his room, only that large glaive was placed under the blanket." He Yitian said with a bitter smile.
He Quanxin's heart trembled, and he immediately knew that He Yiming must have gone to chase that masked man.
He Yitian asked anxiously, "Father, I think Sixth Brother must have gone to chase that person, what do you think we should do?"
He Quanxin shook his head slightly, and said, "Ignore him, let's go back and sleep."
He Yitian was startled, and said, "Father, are you confused? That person is an expert of the tenth level of inner strength."
He Quanxin patted his son's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Yiming's cultivation is not below father's. Even if he can't win, if he wants to protect himself, it won't be a problem." The corner of his mouth drew a smile, and said, "And this little guy should have the qualifications to be independent."
Seeing his father leave with a smile, He Yitian's heart was filled with emotions. He really didn't know when he would be able to hear a similar evaluation from his father's mouth …
