"Bi Xuan''s apprentice..."


    Tao Yu frowned, indeed feeling that this was rather troublesome to deal with.


    Now that Yang Guang was dead, and chaos had ensued in the Central Plains of Great Tang, the power that was restraining Tujue had suddenly diminished, possibly disrupting the original balance.


    That was why there was this need for Tuli to lead a team ''northward'' this time.


    Apart from a few of them coming over, there was another, Tuoba Yu, who was still in the Central Plains gathering information.


    Tuoba Yu was Chunyu Wei''s senior brother, the second disciple of Bi Xuan.


    Speaking of strength, they were all inferior to Tuli, from whom Tao Yu could sense a slight sense of crisis.


    It was just that his own abilities were too all-encompassing, making the fight quite easy, but this didn''t mean he could ignore Tuli.


    The fact that he didn''t directly use Vajra Indestructibility Divine Skill to forcefully resist was Tao Yu''s way of taking Tuli seriously.


    However much Chunyu Wei was Bi Xuan''s apprentice, Tao Yu currently had no confidence in dealing with these grandmasters.


    Although Chunyu Wei had mentioned that from her perception, Tao Yu wasn''t much inferior to her master.


    But what Tao Yu remembered most vividly about the Great Tang world was that there were just too many ''horns'' wandering around!


    Long and frequent were stories of having crossed hands with some grandmaster or being pursued by one, or conjectures of encountering a peer of similar prowess.


    Only after the fight and truly facing the real deal would one realize the difference was like heaven and earth.


    And there were more than one or two instances of this kind.


    This was probably due to the way information was transmitted in ancient times; having a record of victories would classify them as of the same level, but in reality, the circumstances at that time, the grandmaster''s killing intent and determination, among other factors, could determine too much.


    So when Chunyu Wei said she felt Tao Yu wasn''t much different, Tao Yu flatly ignored it.


    He had the benefit of a special effects filter, and although he wouldn''t belittle himself, he wouldn''t get carried away either.


    In such circumstances, dealing with them might provoke Bi Xuan to come knocking, and while he himself could fly over the grasslands, Bright Summit would suffer.


    Yet if they were to be imprisoned, and their martial arts not crippled, Bright Summit couldn''t hold them!


    "Alright, your words have been of great help to me, so be it, you may leave, but I hope that you, Tuli, will swear never to be our enemy,"


    said Tao Yu calmly, looking at Tuli with bandages on his shoulder, still with traces of blood.


    Although the oaths of ancient times were not particularly reliable, they had their uses to some extent.


    In such situations, even a skilled fighter at Tuli''s level could play a significant role.


    "Alright, then I hope we can meet again in the Central Plains. By that time, you probably won''t be afraid anymore," Chunyu Wei said, taunting Tao Yu a little.


    Clearly, Tao Yu didn''t care about the provocation at all.


    Actually, you''re right... I am afraid...


    ...


    Tao Yu stood on the cliff top and watched them leave, then turned to Zhang Wuji and said,


    "Wuji, we need to be even more cautious from now on. Guard the main paths and expand the intelligence network outward to confirm the movements of the Tujue."


    "Alright. Are you really going to pass by there, Brother Tao?"


    "Yes, I still need to go."


    Tao Yu planned to fly over using a flying machine, but the range wasn''t quite enough. After the battery ran out, it would be a good time to return home to check in, and coincidentally, to celebrate his birthday before coming back.


    Although it would waste five days, a fully charged flying machine would make up for all the time spent on the road.


    "You can refer to the things left behind by Tuli and Chunyu Wei, but don''t force yourself to practice them. They mentioned they felt a sense of oppression after coming to our world, which might also affect their skills," Tao Yu advised.


    Tao Yu thought this feeling they described was likely due to differences between worlds. Perhaps the world of Great Tang had more abundant free energy, making cultivation somewhat easier.


    Now, he had no idea about the situation of Zhang Sanfeng in that world. With the old Daoist''s shrewdness, he must have sought to understand the situation deeply, and perhaps was even starting to try integrating martial arts. After all, he should now be at the beginning stages of creating Tai Chi Fist, which was a time of needing to absorb!


    "Now, there''s no rush to solve the issue of the second deification of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. The goal should be set on the three major unique skills, to achieve it in one step..."


    After parting ways with Zhang Wuji, Tao Yu took out his flying machine again.


    This gadget was convenient but carrying such a big package made it difficult to bring along many small items.


    Wino was now so swollen that he couldn''t come out to help; he was purely a storage box.


    Coming out to fight would definitely earn gold coins.


    "It seems that the Art of Corpse Refinement really should be put on the agenda now. However, all of the Yuan Force I have now should be prioritized for acquiring skills from the Great Tang side!"


    After experiencing Tuli''s strength, Tao Yu looked forward to what was to come even more.
