[Ding] [Congratulations, Host. You have successfully gathered the Earth Vein Qi. Would you like to supplement the yang aspect?]
The System Sound suddenly rang out, and Ye Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He and Miss Wanyi were in a pitch-black desert, a place without a sun, where endless night reigned.
He looked at Wanyi and said, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist. I'm just about ready."
Miss Wanyi was exceptionally clever, so she understood at once: he was asking her to leave.
After all, supplementing the yang aspect was no different from a breakthrough. No one could tolerate having an outsider watching at such a critical moment.
She nodded. "Then I wish you success, Fellow Daoist. I'll be on my way. The Blood Battle in the Azure Sky Domain is about to begin, and I need to return to oversee the situation. As for what comes afterward, I have my own way of contacting you, so long as you don't leave the Central Prefecture."
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. I won't go back on my word. If you need my help one day, I'll do everything I can."
"I trust you, of course. Until we meet again, then."
With that, Miss Wanyi smiled sweetly and turned to leave the realm.
Ye Kang waited until her presence had completely vanished before finally relaxing.
Although Miss Wanyi had concealed the disturbance caused by his extraction of the Earth Qi, it never hurt to be wary of others. Most likely, she had already planted some means of keeping tabs on him, so it was best to be careful.
Of course, Ye Kang could have removed it, but there was no need yet. She truly hadn't informed the Three Great Sects, and for now, he was still safe.
