The matter was resolved for the time being.
Ye Xiangning really did seem to have been merely passing by. After exchanging a few words with Zhang Yuan, she vanished without a trace, coming and going in equal haste.
Lately, rather too many gazes had been fixed on Zhang Yuan: the East Sea Dragon Clan, the South Sea Dragon Clan, the Eastern Ya Cui Clan, and even the Great Immortal Lord of the Mountain-Sea Profound Yellow Realm. She had borrowed the profound mystery of her true body from afar to barely obscure them for this brief interval.

"Ah, she left so quickly, without even naming any conditions. Chances are I've fallen into her trap again without realizing it."
Zhang Yuan felt utterly helpless.

Not long after Ye Xiangning departed, two graceful figures broke through the Sword Qi Gorge and flew toward Zhang Yuan.
Cui Yuanxi's round eyes widened slightly as she surveyed the pit spanning ten thousand li, astonished.

Thus, the island's rocks and earth were exceptionally hard and difficult to break.
