The Mysterious Figure, Black-Haired Nan Xunran
Nan Gui snorted coldly, her face full of disgust. "Look at you, you're soaked in the smell of alcohol."
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng turned to look at Nan Qingyuan, his face full of distress, and muttered under his breath, "It's one thing for Fourth Sister to criticize me, but Ninth Brother, you're joining in too."
Upon hearing this, Nan Qingyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of mischief.
Nan Gui flicked his sleeves and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go inside."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then sped towards the bottom of the water, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Underwater
The wildly swirling water seemed to devour everything, while pale golden smoke rose from the depths of the vortex, swirling upwards, and wisps of black mist eerily gathered slowly towards the center.
At that moment, a dazzling halo suddenly shone, illuminating the entire underwater world and dispelling the darkness.
Nan Qingyuan remained calm and gently tugged at Nan Xunran's sleeve.
Nan Gui waved his hand, and a faintly glowing thread instantly connected to everyone's wrist.
Then, she took the lead and led everyone to fly swiftly towards the central passage.
In an instant, everything went black before their eyes. When their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.
Nan Qingyuan instinctively grabbed Nan Xunran's sleeve, but grasped at nothing, which startled her and caused a sudden surge of panic in her heart.
She stared in astonishment, her eyes widening as she turned her head sharply, searching frantically, only to find that Nan Xunran had vanished.
Nan Qingyuan looked around anxiously and called out, "Where's Xiao-Ran?!"
Everyone's gaze quickly swept across every inch of the surrounding space. The threads on everyone's wrists were still there, except for Nan Xunran's, which had broken.
The break was jagged, as if it had been forcibly torn apart by a force.
Nan Yao's brows furrowed, her gaze fixed on the severed line, and she murmured, "How could only Xiao-Ran have disappeared?"
Nan Gui's face was so dark it could drip water. She bit her lip and roared, "Find them! Go find them all!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly scattered and ran in all directions.
Mysterious Space
A bed of ice, entirely forged from ice, lay across the room, with wisps of cold air seeping out from within and spreading outwards.
Nan Xunran lay quietly on it, his brows slightly furrowed, his long, silvery hair cascading freely, like flowing moonlight, cool and holy.
Beside the bed stood a figure that looked exactly like him, except that the figure's jet-black hair made him appear even more indifferent and aloof.
The mysterious person extended their slender, jade-like fingers, moving gently and slowly, to untangle the broken silk thread on Nan Xunran's wrist.
His wrist, which had been violently torn open, was red. His hand slowly covered the reddened area, and with a sudden flash of light, the red mark disappeared quietly, leaving only a smooth surface.
He slowly raised his eyes, gazing at the person on the ice bed, then slowly leaned closer, gently touching Nan Xunran's forehead with his finger.
Just then, Nan Xunran's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
His gaze focused, landing on the face of the person in front of him, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
He observed carefully, his gaze calm and serene. Apart from the jet-black hair, this person was exactly like him.
Every contour, every expression, is like a perfect replica.
The mysterious man stood there quietly, motionless, gazing intently at him.
Nan Xunran clearly sensed the opponent's unrestrained aura, which was as vast as a starry river and seemed to have endless spiritual power, definitely surpassing the Immortal Emperor Realm.
The two faced each other silently, without saying a word.
A moment later, the mysterious man slowly extended his hand, and their fingertips touched. In that instant, an extremely powerful wave erupted, plunging the entire space into chaos.
Everything around it was as thin as paper in the face of this force, instantly turning into fine dust.
And this mysterious space, which was originally closed off, was thus completely revealed.
Nan Gui and the others outside keenly sensed this powerful fluctuation and were all startled.
Without the slightest hesitation, they moved like lightning, rushing towards this place at top speed.
The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly from their force, whipping up a gust of wind.
In the blink of an eye, the group appeared in the area.
Their gazes fell upon the two of them, and their faces revealed undisguised astonishment; for a moment, they were at a loss for how to react.
Nan Qingyuan's gaze was fixed on the silver-haired man, her eyes filled with concern and doubt, and she whispered, "Xiao-Ran?"
Nan Xunran nodded slightly and replied, "Mm."
At the same time, Nan Feng's face was full of vigilance, and he was extremely shocked.
