Shangguan Xieyue gently bit her red lips, her pearly teeth sinking into them, and murmured, "Are they after A-Ran?"
Shangguan Xique paced back and forth, stroking his chin with one hand.
He pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Very likely."
So it's just a new force with no distinguishing features...?
Wei Clan
Wei Yan's expression was solemn as he whispered, "The Judgment Abyss?"
She paused briefly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a thoughtful expression.
He then asked, "Do they share the same goal?"
The Following Wind Guards standing to the side bowed his head and respectfully replied, "Yes."
Wei Yan waved her hand gently, signaling him to step back.
Following Wind Guards bowed respectfully, then quietly disappeared.
Wei Yan looked up at the sky, murmuring softly, "Shangguan Xieyue..."
She secretly wondered to herself that she had not yet met this person who had always been by A-Ran's side in her previous life.
She murmured to herself, "Could it be that you've been reborn too?"
Then, her eyebrows gradually twisted into a shallow "Chuan" character.
She murmured to herself again, "Or perhaps, someone who never appeared in my previous life has appeared beside A-Ran."
Divine Son Hall
A small figure peeked out from around the corner.
Her layered skirt swayed gently in the wind, and two dimples appeared and disappeared on her exquisitely sculpted face.
She tied her hair up high, with a few stray strands playingfully falling down.
She held two strings of candied hawthorns tightly in her hands, which glistened enticingly in the sunlight.
Then, she raised her eyes slightly and looked into the hall, before tiptoeing inside.
Inner sanctum
"Owner!"
A joyful shout pierced the air.
Then, a petite figure Nan Xunran like a gust of wind.
His gaze swept briefly over the little girl before he spoke softly, "Xiao Xiao?"
The little girl nodded excitedly.
Nan Xunran's gaze held a hint of inquiry as he asked, "How did you transform into human form?"
Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Uncle Hall Master said that transforming into human form will make me look better, and that human form is more conducive to cultivation."
Nan Xunran.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, as if presenting a treasure, held up a string of candied hawthorns high and offered it to his mouth.
Her voice was as sweet as honey. "Master, eat!"
Nan Xunran gently shook her head.
Xiao Xiao wasn't discouraged. She shook the candied hawthorn in her hand and said, "Just one bite."
As she spoke, she pushed the candied hawthorn forward a little further, saying quickly, "It's delicious!"
Nan Xunran for a moment, then leaned down slightly and gently bit off a candied hawthorn. The sweet and sour taste instantly spread in her mouth.
Xiao Xiao tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling, and asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"
Nan Xunran replied, "Mm."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's face lit up with a bright smile. She couldn't wait to take a bite herself, and then squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Then, her gaze shifted to another string of candied hawthorns, her smile widening as she cheerfully exclaimed, "This will last us a long time!"
After saying that, she leaned slightly to the side and sat down next to Nan Xunran.
Then she stopped talking, simply gripping the candied hawthorn tightly with both hands and focusing intently on eating it.
Nan Xunran didn't look at her; instead, he lowered his eyes to check the system store.
--realm:

[Current Kill Points: 268,484]
Immediately afterwards, Nan Xunran was surrounded by a dense, almost impenetrable, Chaos Qi.
He slowly opened his eyes, and with each breath he took, the entire world seemed to pulsate in rhythm.
Above the Divine Son Hall, the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes suddenly appeared, their enormous wings, large enough to blot out the sky, swirling and dancing, their figures majestic.
In an instant, the world was enveloped in an intense golden light, so bright that the sun and moon paled in comparison, and even the stars trembled in fear.
Outside the Nan Clan, all living beings were captivated by this sudden and wondrous sight.
They stopped what they were doing, their eyes fixed on the sky, and they all involuntarily knelt down.
"That guy from the Nan Clan has broken through again!" someone murmured to themselves, looking dazed.
"This breakthrough has really caused quite a stir!"
A young man looked up at the sky, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his face filled with shock.
"Such a breakthrough is a once-in-a-millennium event!" someone said, their voice trembling.
"..."
Divine Son Hall
Nan Xiaoxiao sat quietly to the side, still chewing on the candied hawthorn skewer.
Her big, dark eyes were filled with astonishment as she stared intently at the scene before her.
Her mouth was slightly open, and she didn't even notice the sugar crumbs stuck to the corners of her lips.
A soft protective shield circulated around her, keeping the raging Chaos Qi at bay and preventing it from harming her in the slightest.
Nan Xiaoxiao was so engrossed in watching that she forgot to chew the candied hawthorn in her mouth.
