The morning sun was out, the east was white, and the deep sky shook off the blue veil, illuminating the land.

"I wonder how far these two Flame Pills can refine my body." Ye Chenfeng was soaking in a secluded cold pond in the depths of the White Cloud Mountain Range. He took out a Flame Pill and swallowed it without diluting it.

The moment the Intense Flaming Pill entered Ye Chenfeng's body, it immediately released a scorching heat that burned his body. Even though he already had the experience of consuming the Intense Flaming Pill, the instantaneous pain caused his face to turn pale.

After about five hours, Ye Chenfeng finally absorbed all of the pill's power. There was barely any soul power left in the two low-grade soul crystals that he held in his hand.

"Huhu, I have completed two-thirds of the tempering and my strength has increased by a thousand Jin. I should be able to successfully refine another Blazing Flame Pill."

Ye Chenfeng, who was on the verge of collapse, climbed out of the cold pond that was still covered in white smoke and muttered to himself as he sensed the changes in his body.

After tempering two-thirds of his body, his recovery ability had improved greatly. In merely a dozen breaths, Ye Chenfeng's physical weakness had been completely swept away.

All the cells in his body absorbed the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in a frenzy, restoring the physical strength that he had consumed.

"I hope that the remaining Intense Flaming Pill can help me complete my body tempering." Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath, then began to absorb the remaining soul power from the two soul crystals. He adjusted his condition and prepared to take the final Intense Flaming Pill.

While Ye Chenfeng was hiding in the White Cloud Mountain Range and trying his best to break through to the second level of Body Tempering stage, the assassins sent by the Jiang family snuck into White Emperor City, preparing to assassinate Ye Chenfeng and kidnap Ji Qingxue.

"Qing Xue, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect the Lianzhou Army to frame Chen Feng. Both you and Chen Feng, don't mind them."

Because Ye Zichen was not around, the bored Ji Qingxue decided to go shopping with Bai Xiya. As they strolled along the bluestone path in White Emperor City, Bai Xiya said apologetically.

"It's alright, Morning Wind and I will not mind." Ji Qing Xue revealed an enchanting smile as she spoke softly.

"Qing Xue, what kind of person is Chen Feng?" Bai Xiya asked softly, wanting to get a deeper understanding of Ye Chenfeng from Ji Qingxue.

However, Bai Xiya did not know that Ji Qingxue did not understand Ye Zichen. The reason they were living together in private was because of a deal.

"Morning Wind, he is a little stingy, a little masculine, but …" "A person who can give people a sense of security …"

Ji Qingxue thought for a while before she slowly spoke. She did not know that a faint smile appeared on her lips when she talked about Ye Chenfeng.

While talking, Ji Qing Xue and Man Man walked to the outskirts of White Emperor City, next to the white lake surrounded by reeds.

A cool breeze blew past, rippling the water. The refreshing feeling made them feel even more relaxed and comfortable.

Just when they wanted to find a place with no one around to sit down and rest, Ji Qing Xue suddenly stopped walking. A look of great wariness appeared in her eyes.

"What happened, Qingxue?"

Although due to the fact that she wasn't able to sense the danger due to her strength, she still sensed the suspicion on Ji Qing Xue's face and asked nervously.

"Shiya, don't talk. Follow me quickly."

Ji Qing Xue hastened her steps as she took out a black crystal that contained immense soul power. She then gripped it tightly in her palm.

"Beautiful ladies, why are you in such a hurry? Where do you want to go?"

Just as the two girls were about to return to the bustling White Emperor City, a cold voice that was like a poisonous snake entered their ears.

In the next moment, four men dressed in black, their faces covered in black cloth, and holding four shiny silver swords appeared before them.

The powerful auras the four of them released caused the two girls to feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Who are you people? What do you want?"

Upon seeing the murderous look in the four people's eyes, Bai Xiya's face changed slightly as she forced herself to stay calm and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry. As long as you obediently cooperate and follow us, we will definitely not harm you." The leader of the men in black said without a trace of emotion.

"You are people of the Jiang Clan." Ji Qingxue asked with a serious expression. From the aura that the four of them were emitting, they were at least Rank 6 Spirit Beasts.

Only the Jiang family had dared to abduct them so brazenly and send out such an expert.

"You're talking too much nonsense. If you don't listen to me obediently, then we'll have to use force. When we're injured, don't blame me for not reminding you."

The leader of the men in black said in a cold voice. With a sharp sword in his hand, he approached Ji Qingxue and the woman in black step by step.

"Thea, let's charge out." Ji Qing Xue knew very well what kind of danger would befall them once they were captured. She didn't hesitate to release her soul power, condensing her soul beast, the Ice Bird, and merging it into her body.

Ji Qingxue condensed the Ice Bird. Bai Xiya, who was a Rank 4 Spirit Beast, also condensed the White Snake Soul Beast and merged it into her body, increasing her strength.

"Charge!"

Following Ji Qingxue's loud shout, the two of them dashed out like flying arrows, wanting to break out of the encirclement.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Shadow Splitting Sword."

Seeing that the two girls were trying to escape, the leader of the group immediately jumped into the air. The long sword in his hand released a green light, and a Sword Qi split the air and flew towards them, forcing them to dodge in a sorry state and slowing down their escape.

"Beast tamer, this person is indeed a beast tamer."

Upon seeing the strength of the leader, Ji Qingxue started to panic a little. Even with her amazing talent, she was still unable to fight against the Mystic Beast Mage.

After using their soul skills to stop the two girls, the four black clothed men immediately took action, surrounding and attacking them, wanting to forcefully kidnap them and leave.

Seeing that the two girls were about to be captured, Ji Qing Xue suddenly threw the black crystal in her hand towards the leader of the men in black.

With a loud bang, the black crystal exploded. Powerful energy surged like a tide, blowing away the four men in black who couldn't dodge in time. Three of the Rank 6 Spirit Beasts were killed on the spot.

As for Ji Qing Xue, Bai Xi Ya was also attacked by the black crystal's explosion. She was heavily injured.

In this critical moment, the two girls, Ji Qing Xue and Mu Ru Yue ignored their injuries and crawled on the ground while enduring the pain.

Because they were afraid that there were still assassins from the Jiang Clan in White Emperor City, the two of them did not hesitate to escape White Emperor City.
