Feng Xiaoxiao was walking toward the gates of Great Desolate City when a piercing scream suddenly rang across the entire city. The sound stabbed into her head like a knife. Her face blanched, and she dropped to one knee.
Cold sweat poured down her body. Feng Xiaoxiao clamped her hands over her ears, but the scream still shook blood from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
When the scream finally stopped, Feng Xiaoxiao stared in horror toward its source and muttered, "A dragon-shaped Anomaly has appeared in the sky. Could Princess Tianxin be enraged? How terrifying. That voice alone injured me. Her strength must be no less than that of some old Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses without a Fruit Position!"
Though the scream and Anomaly had vanished, Feng Xiaoxiao still felt her heart pounding. "Junior Brother Yue, let's keep waiting near the gate for our sect's people. We're not strong enough to establish ourselves in the city under these circumstances. Until they arrive, let's not act rashly..."
As she spoke, Feng Xiaoxiao realized there was no sound behind her. She turned around. Where was he?
Yue Yan had been walking toward the gate with Feng Xiaoxiao, just behind her. But now, the space beside her was empty. Yue Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Her heart skipped a beat. Feng Xiaoxiao called out in a low voice, "Junior Brother Yue? Junior Brother Yue? Where did you go?"
When she got no answer for a long time, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately turned back to look for him. After walking a few thousand meters, she saw Yue Yan stagger out of an alley, stark naked and cursing. "Which heartless bastard ambushed me? My clothes, my weapons... Just let me catch you. I'll grind your bones to dust...!"
Yue Yan was seething with hatred.
