# Chapter 494: Yun Xiao
The young man and the elf girl had already been in complete despair, believing they were certain to die. Unexpectedly, a savior suddenly descended from the heavens, and in the blink of an eye, he had killed one of the three black-clothed men and forced the other two to flee. The young man stared at Yun Che for a long while, dazed to the point that he almost forgot the injuries on his body. It was only when Yun Che approached that he struggled to stand up, his pained and hoarse voice filled with deep gratitude: "Thank... thank you, senior, for saving our lives..."
"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives." The elf girl also quickly gave a bow and spoke with gratitude.
Hmm? Senior?
Yun Che's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't explain, but instead slowly helped the young man sit up and said seriously, "Don't talk too much for now. Immediately calm your mind and stabilize your injuries... I'll help you."
Yun Che placed his palm above the wound on the young man's back, and a thick profound energy slowly surged into him... His profound energy carried the attributes of the Dragon God and Phoenix God, and was mixed with an extremely high density and purity of heaven-earth energy. When used to assist others in healing, it could greatly accelerate the recovery of injuries.
The young man didn't stand on ceremony either. He stopped speaking, closed his eyes, and was about to mobilize the residual profound energy in his body when he suddenly felt a gentle and vast—no, it should be described as nearly primeval—profound energy aura surging into his body from his back. The intensity of this profound energy was clearly only at the Heavenly Xuan Realm, yet it was incredibly thick. He had also grown step by step from the Heavenly Xuan Realm. If he said that when he was at the Heavenly Xuan Realm, the density of profound energy in his body was like a wisp of smoke, then this Heavenly Xuan profound energy now flooding into his body was clearly like molten lava! It was even thicker and more intense than his current Half-step Overlord Xuan profound energy.
How could this be profound energy of the Heavenly Xuan Realm... No! It must be that this senior's realm is too high, and with my meager cultivation, I simply cannot fathom it. The young man thought so.
And as Yun Che's profound energy poured in, his expression repeatedly changed with emotion. Because this profound energy was not only incomparably mighty, but also seemed to possess a magical power. It caused all the meridians in his body to swell up, and even the meridians that had been damaged quickly recovered their vitality. His most serious external injury was on his back, and his internal injuries were also not light. But with the influx of this profound energy flow, he could clearly feel that both his external and internal injuries were healing at an unbelievably fast speed.
He was absolutely certain that even if the most senior Grand Elder of his clan went all out, it would be impossible to make him recover so quickly! This speed was simply beyond comprehension, shocking to the ear.
This senior must be an incredibly terrifying peerless expert... The young man became even more convinced of his earlier thoughts, and his reverence for Yun Che grew as if looking up at a towering mountain. He abandoned the idea of mobilizing his own profound energy and began to fully absorb and channel the profound energy surging into his body. Because under this overwhelming profound energy, even if he mobilized all of his own residual profound energy, it would be completely insignificant.
When he tentatively tried to perceive this profound energy more thoroughly, he discovered that the profound energy laws it contained were incredibly mysterious—or more accurately, bizarre. As a Half-step Overlord Xuan cultivator who had bitterly trained for nearly twenty years, he could not understand it at all, and his heart was even more shaken with astonishment.
"Let me help too."
Although the elf girl was also injured, her injuries were much lighter than the young man's. Worried about the young man's condition, she put her weapon into her space ring and placed both hands on the young man's chest. A emerald green light flashed from her palms... Instantly, Yun Che felt a cool, watery aura surge into the young man's body. Even Yun Che, who only touched this aura, felt a sense of mental awakening.
"The profound energy of the Elf race carries a natural aura that is innate. Not only does it have a strong self-healing ability, but its ability to heal others also far surpasses that of humans. On this point alone, the Elf race is very popular among other races. Moreover, because of the power of nature, the Elf race has handsome men and beautiful women. Coupled with their unique talents, most races long to find an elven partner." Mo Li casually explained. She glanced at the young man and said coldly, "This kid is a pure human, yet he has won the favor of this elf girl. He's quite lucky."
With the combined efforts of Yun Che and the elf girl, the young man's originally severe injuries quickly stabilized. When Yun Che withdrew his palm, the wound on the young man's back still looked shocking, but it was actually no longer a major concern. The bleeding had completely stopped. With his own profound energy, he could fully recover in less than half a month.
The young man stood up with the help of the elf girl and gave Yun Che a deep bow: "Senior not only saved Seventh Sister and me, but also personally treated my injuries. Such great kindness, I will definitely keep in my heart... I hope, I hope that I may learn senior's name."
"You... call me senior?" Yun Che smacked his lips and said, "Do I look that old?"
"Well..." The young man was quite embarrassed by Yun Che's words and didn't know how to respond for a moment. The elf girl beside him looked him over for a good while and said very seriously, "You are so powerful. You must be a senior expert who has returned to simplicity!"
"I am twenty-two years old." Yun Che gave a faint smile and directly stated his age. "Are you sure you still want to call me senior?"
"Ah? Twenty-two... twenty-two years old?" The two looked at Yun Che and exclaimed simultaneously. Yun Che had casually killed a first-level Overlord Xuan with a single move just now. His astonishing strength made them naturally assume that Yun Che must be a senior expert who had cultivated for many years, because at the Overlord Xuan level, one could appear to be twenty years old even at two hundred. And at around twenty years old, killing an Overlord Xuan in one move was basically unrealistic. Even at the highest level of the entire continent, less than five people could do this, and each of them was famous throughout the world. Yun Che was a new face they had never seen before. They never expected that Yun Che would be only twenty-two years old.
The young man looked awkward and said somewhat sheepishly, "This... this... Benefactor is so powerful, we both thought you were some senior expert deliberately maintaining a youthful appearance." He paused, his eyes lighting up, "Benefactor is so young yet so strong. You must be very famous. May I ask... your name?"
"My name is Yun Che." Yun Che said without hesitation. In this completely unfamiliar world, no one knew his name, so there was no need to hide it.
"Yun... Che?" The two murmured this name simultaneously, their eyes showing confusion. A person who was only twenty-two years old and could kill an Overlord Xuan in one move should be renowned across the entire continent. But both of them were hearing this name for the first time. The young man quickly said, "So Benefactor also has the surname Yun. What a coincidence."
"Oh? So you also have the surname Yun?" From the elf girl's earlier address to him, Yun Che already knew his surname. He smiled and said, "Just call me Yun Che directly. The word 'Benefactor' is too awkward. By the way, may I ask how to address the two of you?"
The young man quickly replied, "Alright, then I'll call you... Brother Yun from now on! Little brother's surname is Yun, and my name is..."
Just as he was about to say his name, the elf girl beside him gently tugged at him: "Brother Yun..."
But the young man shook his head and said seriously, "Seventh Sister, he is our lifesaver. If he hadn't stepped in to rescue us, we would both have died here. There is no need to hide a mere name from our benefactor... Little brother is Yun Xiao, currently twenty-one years and ten months old, a few months younger than Brother Yun. This is... this is Seventh Sister, two years younger than me."
"Brother Yun can just call me Seventh Sister as well." The elf girl nodded slightly, then showed a hint of awkwardness on her face: "Little sister's name is a bit... a bit hard to pronounce. I fear Brother Yun might laugh at it, so I won't say it... Just call me Seventh Sister."
"Mm." Yun Che nodded lightly. Their names were just a casual inquiry on his part. However, the name and age of this Yun Xiao surprised him. Although he claimed to be twenty-two, his actual age was also twenty-one years and ten months, exactly the same. And his name "Yun Xiao" — Yun was his current surname, Xiao was the surname he used before the age of sixteen — was indeed an uncanny coincidence.
After Yun Xiao introduced himself, Yun Che's reaction was unexpectedly indifferent. This secretly surprised both of them. The elf girl couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yun, could it be... that you have never heard the name 'Yun Xiao' before?"
"Oh?" Yun Che took another look at Yun Xiao, whose expression was somewhat unusual, and immediately understood something. He said calmly, "Is Young Brother Yun Xiao very famous in this area? That makes sense. Young as he is, he has already half a foot in the Overlord Xuan Realm. He must be a prodigy renowned throughout the region."
"Not at all, not at all. In front of Brother Yun, I really don't deserve such praise." Yun Xiao quickly waved his hands. If someone else had complimented him like this, he would have accepted it calmly. But facing Yun Che, who was his age but whose strength far surpassed his by several mountains, he really couldn't bear it. He scratched his head and said, "Little brother does have a little bit of fame in Yaohuang City... Oh, by the way, Brother Yun, are you not from Yaohuang City?"
Yaohuang City? Could it be that grayish-white city?
Yun Che shook his head: "I come from a very distant place. This is my first time in Yaohuang City."
"I see." The two simultaneously showed expressions of understanding. Then the elf girl said doubtfully, "Could Brother Yun be from the Southern Frontier? Apart from Yaohuang City, only the Southern Frontier could produce someone as powerful as Brother Yun... No, if someone as strong as Brother Yun had appeared in the Southern Frontier, Seventh Sister and Brother Yun should have heard of him long ago..."
The elf girl was thinking very seriously, clearly unable to let go of the fact that he had killed an Overlord Xuan in one move, was only twenty-two years old, and had a face and name she had never seen before. Yun Che smiled and said, "I come from a place farther than you can imagine. I have never set foot here before. I came this time for training. It's perfectly normal that you've never heard of me."
Yun Che nodded to them and said, "You both have injuries now. The people who wanted to harm you might come again. You should head back early."
After speaking, Yun Che slowly floated up, preparing to leave.
"Brother Yun, wait!" Yun Xiao quickly stepped forward and said urgently, "Brother Yun's direction... are you going to Yaohuang City?"
"That's right." Yun Che nodded. A city named with the character "Huang" (Emperor) was clearly the central city of this continent, likely the massive grayish-white city ahead that emitted an extremely high-level aura of power.
"Little brother and Seventh Sister are both from Yaohuang City. Since Brother Yun is visiting Yaohuang City for the first time, you probably don't have a place to stay. How about staying at my Yun Clan's residence? I can introduce the situation of Yaohuang City to Brother Yun anytime. Once my injuries are a bit better, I can also take Brother Yun on a tour of Yaohuang City. Would Brother Yun... be amenable?"
Yun Xiao's voice and eyes were especially sincere, as if he were almost afraid that Yun Che would be "inconvenienced." Yun Che, who had floated halfway up, stopped, then nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll have to rely on Young Brother Yun Xiao's care."
Yun Che currently knew almost nothing about the Yaohuang City before him, or even the entire continent he was on. Having someone to guide him was naturally for the best.
Seeing Yun Che agree, Yun Xiao was overjoyed: "Not at all, not at all. Compared to Brother Yun's life-saving grace, this is nothing."
"My Elf race also welcomes Brother Yun to visit us anytime. The kindness Brother Yun has shown to Seventh Sister and Brother Yun, my race will surely repay in full." The elf girl also said sincerely.
At that moment, Mo Li's voice, slightly grave, suddenly came through Yun Che's mind: "An expert is coming... a Level Eight Overlord Xuan! If he's an enemy... you'd better prepare to run!"
Yun Che's brows moved sharply, and the profound energy flow throughout his body instantly surged. But immediately, Mo Li's voice came again: "Looks like you don't need to prepare to run. He's an elf!"
