What a coincidence, I'm Yun Potian

The Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Ye Fan's shadow clone was about to return to his original body, but halfway there, he sensed someone following him.

"You've followed me for quite a while. Isn't it time you showed yourself?"

Ye Fan's shadow clone stopped in midair and spoke slowly.

"You're not from the Jia Ma Empire, are you?"

As soon as the shadow clone finished speaking, a woman emerged and asked.

A plain dress wrapped her voluptuous figure, and her dark hair was swept up with an elegant Phoenix Hairpin. Her beautiful face was full of wariness as she watched Ye Fan.

"Correct. I am Ye Fan of the Dao Sect!"

"Thank you for helping earlier. Otherwise, I might not have been able to leave with such peace of mind."

Ye Fan nodded and expressed his gratitude to Yun Yun.

"We're both human. There's no need to stand on ceremony!"

"But what was going on with those people earlier? Why did they all vanish in puffs of white smoke after the Amethyst Winged Lion King's purple light struck them?"

With confusion on her pretty face, Yun Yun looked at Ye Fan and asked.

"That's an emergency escape measure for our Dao Sect disciples!"

"When our Dao Sect disciples go out to gain experience, they all carry a Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman refined by our sect master. Once they encounter mortal danger, the talisman activates and transports them somewhere safe!"

Ye Fan spun the tale offhandedly.

Naturally, he couldn't casually reveal the existence of shadow clones, so he could only find another excuse to fool Yun Yun.

Transport them straight to safety?

Even a Dou Zong expert couldn't possibly refine something like that, could they?

Yun Yun was shocked, but she didn't ask further. After all, they had only just met, and asking too many questions would be inappropriate.

"Senior Brother Ye!"

"I've rescued her. Let's hurry and leave!"

Just then, another young man flew toward them and called out.

He also had a woman beside him.

She was none other than Xiao Yi Xian!

Earlier, Ye Fan had stayed outside mainly to draw the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attention, allowing one of his shadow clones to slip into the cave and rescue Xiao Yi Xian.

"Well done. Let's hurry back and report to Elder Li!"

Ye Fan gave him an approving look, then prepared to leave.

"Yes, Senior Brother. And who might this be...?"

The shadow clone nodded, then glanced at Yun Yun in puzzlement.

"My name is Yun Zhi."

Seeing him ask, Yun Yun paused briefly before answering.

"What a coincidence, Miss Yun Zhi. We even share a surname!"

"I'm Yun Potian. Thank you for helping my senior brother hold off those magical beasts earlier, Miss Yun Zhi!"

The shadow clone Yun Potian spoke with a smile.

"..." Yun Zhi was speechless.

This fellow is actually called Yun Potian?

Why does he have the same name as my sect's founding patriarch?

Is it a coincidence? Or does he know who I am and is deliberately making fun of me?

"Miss Yun Zhi, why don't you come with us?"

"On my way here, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew into a rage and ordered the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range sealed off. He also ordered every human in the mountains killed. It's dangerous for you to be alone."

Yun Potian extended an invitation to Yun Zhi.

"Then let's go together!"

Yun Zhi nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Whenever she thought of this fellow being called Yun Potian, she was left utterly speechless.

I only came to trade with the Amethyst Winged Lion King for purple spirit crystal. How did I end up caught in all this?

First, a group of Dou Emperors and Dou Wangs had appeared out of nowhere. Then she discovered that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had already broken through to Dou Zong.

After that, she met this fellow with the exact same name as her sect's founding patriarch.

Where Xiao Yan and the others were.

When the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Amethyst Seal destroyed those shadow clones, Xiao Yan received quite a few of their memories.

Among them was the fact that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had broken through to Dou Zong.

A Dou Zong?

Good thing I was cautious and didn't send my original body out.

I just don't know whether that fellow has any other trump cards. I still don't know what functions his system has, either.

I still can't act rashly!

Xiao Yan pondered silently.

Although he had the trump card of letting the Medicine Emperor possess him, Xiao Yan didn't intend to use it unless he had absolutely no other choice.

If he let the Medicine Emperor handle everything, how would he ever grow?

"Adoptive Father, is something troubling you?"

"Though your son's strength is meager and I can't be of much help, I can at least offer a few ideas."

Beside him, Mu She watched his expression. Seeing Xiao Yan's slightly furrowed brows, he hurriedly asked.

"You?"

"I'm planning to deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but that fellow has hidden some trump cards. Do you have a way to uncover them?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Mu She. Though he didn't think Mu She could offer any good ideas, he still gave him a brief explanation.

"This is indeed troublesome. If it were a human faction, we could plant a spy, infiltrate the enemy's ranks, and investigate their secrets. But the Amethyst Winged Lion King is a magical beast, so we..."

Mu She considered the matter seriously for a while before speaking.

Although Mu She was somewhat puzzled that the thousands of Dou Qi Transformation into Wings experts hadn't simply slain the Amethyst Winged Lion King,

he was sensible enough not to ask why.

Instead, he earnestly helped Xiao Yan think of a strategy.

"Exactly! Plant a spy and infiltrate his ranks!"

"Mu She, I hadn't realized you had some brains!"

"I'll reward you with a wind-attribute Black Tier Dou Technique!"

Before Mu She could finish, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and a plan formed in his mind.

Then he took out a Dou Technique scroll and tossed it to Mu She.

"Thank you for your reward, Adoptive Father!"

"But there's something your son doesn't understand. Humans and magical beasts are vastly different. How can we infiltrate their ranks?"

Even amid his delighted surprise, Mu She didn't forget to remind Xiao Yan.

"You needn't worry about that. I have my own way!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the cave.

By then, Ye Fan, Yun Yun, and the others had also arrived.

"Elder Li, we failed to slay the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but I brought everything back, and we rescued Xiao Yi Xian."

"Also, this is Miss Yun Zhi. She helped cover our retreat."

As Ye Fan spoke, he handed Xiao Yan a Storage Ring and introduced Yun Zhi.

"Mm, you've already done very well."

"Come inside, all of you!"

"Let's discuss how to deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he led everyone into the cave.

"Thank you, seniors, for saving my life. I, Xiao Yi Xian, will remember your kindness until my dying breath."

After entering the cave, Xiao Yi Xian, who had remained shaken throughout the journey, finally steadied herself and thanked Xiao Yan and the others.

As she spoke, however, she edged closer to Yun Yun, almost unconsciously.

Clearly, only Yun Yun, as a fellow woman, could give her any sense of security at that moment.
