At this moment, the two little girls stared blankly at the ice wall that appeared before them. This ice wall had completely blocked the purple profound light, making them unable to comprehend the situation.
The middle-aged man was furious, as he couldn’t find anyone. A venomous look appeared on his face, and he said coldly. “How dare you interfere with my business? Do you know who I am? I am a servant of the Purple Winged Tiger Clan.”
The little girls returned to their senses, and the ponytail girl hurriedly shouted. “Thank you for helping us, Senior, but you should run away. There are powerful people behind him.”
In the dark, Yun Lintian was surprised by the ponytail girl’s attitude. Even though she was facing death, she was still concerned about others. It was quite rare, counting on how cruel the environment of this Western Continent was.
“That’s right! You should listen to her and scram. The further, the better. Otherwise. Hmph!” The middle-aged man shouted arrogantly. He believed that this person would definitely run away after knowing this.
The little girls were anxious and prepared to launch an attack in order to create a chance for the mysterious senior. However, a cold voice suddenly resounded.
“You come from the Purple Winged Tiger Clan?… That’s good. I don’t have to waste my time finding you.”
The expression of everyone in the scene changed drastically. Especially the middle-aged man. His face revealed some shock, but it was immediately replaced with a gloomy look. “How bold! Why don’t you show yourself and let me take a look at you? I want to see what kind of hero you are.”
“Sure.”
As Yun Lintian’s voice fell, his figure silently appeared behind the middle-aged man. In that instant, he slapped his palm at the middle-aged man’s head at lightning speed.
Bang!
The middle-aged man was not weak. The moment Yun Lintian appeared behind him, he instinctively created a profound defense around him. However, Yun Lintian’s movement was too fast and extremely powerful. His profound defense, which hadn’t yet been completely formed, instantly shattered into pieces, and he was sent flying afterward.
Before the middle-aged man could stabilize himself from the sudden attack, Yun Lintian had reappeared beside him. A bone-freezing aura burst out, and the middle-aged man instantly felt as though he were thrown into an abyss of ice.
Following that, his entire body began to freeze at visible speed to the point he couldn’t put up any resistance and became the ice sculpture two breaths later.
The two little girls watched the whole process with their mouths opened wide. The aura that was released by Yun Lintian was only at the seventh level of the Heaven Profound Realm, yet the middle-aged man in the Saint Profound Realm could not fight him at all… What was going on here?
Bang!
Yun Lintian punched the ice sculpture and shattered it into ice particles. He retrieved the middle-aged man’s storage ring and turned to the little girls. “Are you two alright?”
The girls subconsciously nodded, and the ponytail girl hurriedly spoke. “Thank you, Senior. However, we should leave this place as soon as possible.”
“Sure.” Yun Lintian didn’t object and wrapped the little girls with his profound energy before pulling them away.
A few breaths later after Yun Lintian had left, five figures in black flew down from the sky and landed on where the middle-aged man had died.
They looked at the trace of water on the ground with frowns.
“This is his aura… Who could kill him so effortlessly?” The tall man who seemed to be the leader of the group said in doubt.
The other four also had the same doubt. They scanned the place and didn’t find anything useful in the end.
“This person is proficient in an ice-attribute profound art… Could it be someone from the Deep Sea Naga Clan?” Another man in the group expressed his opinion.
The group leader touched his chin with a thoughtful expression. Among the nine clans, the Deep Sea Naga Clan was famous for its ice-attribute profound art, and they also had the reason to oppose the Purple Winged Tiger Clan. Perhaps it was indeed them.
Thinking of this, the group leader took his transmission jade out and made a report.

Yun Lintian flew for several minutes and found a relatively hidden place to land. He placed the two little girls a few steps away and asked. “Are you two from the Fire Cloud Rat Clan?”
The little girls’ bodies tensed up when they heard this. Yanyan looked at Yun Lintian vigilantly and asked. “What do you want?”
Hearing this, the ponytail girl quickly said. “Please don’t be angry, Senior. My sister is still young… My name is Huoyun Lingling, and she is Huoyun Yanyan. We are indeed from the Fire Cloud Rat Clan.”
“Big Sister!?” Yanyan was anxious. How could her big sister tell him this?
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. “I see. My name is Mu Chen. Can you tell me about the current situation of your clan?”
Huoyun Lingling hesitated briefly and asked in caution. “May I know why Senior wants to know this?”
“I have some relationships with the Fire Cloud Rat Clan.” Yun Lintian explained vaguely.
Huoyun Yanyan tugged her big sister’s sleeve and sent a sound transmission. “Big Sister, we can’t trust him. He’s too young. How could he have a relationship with our clan?”
Huoyun Lingling was also thinking of this point, but her intuition told her Yun Lintian was speaking the truth. She thought for a moment and said with a severe expression. “Honestly, I can’t trust you, Senior. However, I trust your strength. You can simply force us, but you clearly have no intention of doing it. On this point, I believe you have no malicious intent.”
“Big Sister?” Huoyun Yanyan was stunned. ．𝙘𝙤𝙢
Yun Lintian looked at Huoyun Lingling with a smile. “You’re smart.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Senior.” Huoyun Lingling responded calmly. “Our clan’s current situation is not good… Well, I should say that it has never been good for thousands of years….”
