Wang Qiu'er touched the clouds in front of her with some curiosity, something very unusual in the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, she was also a little curious. This fog wasn't something that would eat people, so she couldn't imagine what dangers it might pose, and why she couldn't use Flying Soul Tool to fly up there.
"This fog isn't dangerous, is it?"
As Wang Qiu'er spoke, she waved her hand, dispersing a small patch of mist in front of her.
Wang Dong'er immediately raised her head arrogantly and laughed, "I knew you wouldn't believe me, Yuhao."
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er pointed to her eyes, indicating to Huo Yuhao that he should release his Spiritual Detection Sharing.
Helpless, Huo Yuhao raised two fingers and touched his forehead, golden light emanating from his eyes, and invisible spiritual fluctuations continuously spread outward.
Soon, the three of them went completely blank. Their Spiritual Detection, which was usually able to detect subtle details, seemed to have lost its effectiveness, and they couldn't even see the three of them.
???
Wang Qiu'er frowned, somewhat incredulous, and then used her Spiritual Power to sense it again.
As a result, the moment the Spiritual Power left the body, it was as if it had fallen into a white world, unable to sense anything, as if it had become blind.
There was even a faint feeling that one's Spiritual Power was being absorbed by the clouds and mist.
Startled, Wang Qiu'er quickly severed her Spiritual Power, and Huo Yuhao also withdrew his Spiritual Power, at which point the surrounding scenery returned to its original state.
"Call!"
Wang Qiu'er let out a heavy sigh; this was the first time she had encountered such a strange phenomenon.
As Emperor Auspicious Beast, her Spiritual Power was also her forte, but unexpectedly, this place caused her to suffer a setback.
Wang Dong'er smiled smugly, took a step forward, and lightly tapped her finger on the clouds and mist, saying, "See? I told you, this place is very peculiar. If you really fly up there, you'll easily encounter danger. After all, there are some Soul Beast in this mist, and if you fly up there, you'll easily be attacked."
"Those Soul Beast have very different sensory organs. They will immediately detect any movement within the clouds. If we can't detect it in advance, it will be dangerous."
Wang Qiu'er asked with some surprise, "There are such Soul Beast? I'm quite curious about where you live."
Wang Dong'er remained silent, only winking at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao said, " Qiu'er, we'll find out soon enough. By the way, Dong'er, in that case, we'll have to rely on you to lead the way. There are probably quite a few dangers among these cliffs."
Wang Dong'er leaned over and gave Huo Yuhao a big kiss on the cheek, saying, " Yuhao, you're so smart. There are indeed many dangers in this mist. If it weren't for my family, you might have gotten lost in there for the rest of your life if you weren't strong enough."
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er reached out and grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, then gave Wang Qiu'er a meaningful look.
Wang Qiu'er walked to Huo Yuhao's other side without saying a word and tightly grasped his hand.
Soon, the three of them slowly disappeared into the clouds.
Stepping into the clouds, Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er saw only a vast expanse of white and immediately lost their bearings.
The path beneath our feet was uneven, full of rocks, with no smooth road at all.
If Wang Dong'er hadn't been there to guide them, the two might have slipped and fallen at any moment.
Finally, the view opened up before us. The surrounding clouds, which had been floating overhead, were now beneath our feet.
Standing above the sea of clouds, the feeling was different, Wang Qiu'er's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
After a brief moment of shock, Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er looked up and saw a majestic castle standing atop the mountain.
The mountain is about 300 meters directly overhead, suspended above the sea of clouds.
The gray castle exuded an ancient charm, giving it an air of grandeur, as if it stood atop a towering peak.
Wang Qiu'er's eyes widened. Having never seen such a scene before, she simply couldn't imagine how such a castle could have been built.
Led by Wang Dong'er, the two continued climbing. The height of several hundred meters was nothing, and in no time, they finally reached the top of the mountain and arrived in front of the ancient castle.
At the summit, the mountain wind was even more biting, carrying a heavy dampness. But no matter how the wind blew, the castle standing proudly in the center of the summit remained steadfast.
Above the castle's arched gate are three large characters: " Clear Sky Castle ".
Huo Yuhao looked at the three large characters written in a vigorous and flowing style, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
The Clear Sky Sect has finally arrived.
Sensing the two powerful auras within the castle, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of excitement.
"Let's go!" A smug smile involuntarily crept onto Wang Dong'er's face.
"It's truly magnificent. Even the buildings of the Sun Moon Empire can't compare to this."
Huo Yuhao echoed his sentiments, making Wang Dong'er even more smug.
As you approach the gate, the heavy and tall gate slowly opens.
"You've got good taste, kid!"
Just then, a loud and deep voice rang out from inside the castle.
A tall figure emerged from inside the castle to greet them.
He was a very strong, middle-aged man with short, fine hair like steel needles and a dignified appearance.
His resolute face was as if carved by a knife and axe. His eyes, however, were brownish-yellow, with a faint golden glint.
His gray robe could not completely conceal his muscular physique.
The moment he appeared, Huo Yuhao immediately felt an overwhelming pressure rushing towards him.
The middle-aged man's gaze immediately fell on Huo Yuhao. He brought not only pressure in terms of aura, but also a terrifying mental pressure.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, golden light emanating from them, his Spiritual Power rippling like invisible waves, constantly counteracting the spiritual pressure.
Is this a show of force? That's quite interesting.
Wang Dong'er glared indignantly at the middle-aged man and said, "Second Uncle, what are you doing? We just got back, and you're already bullying my friend."
The middle-aged man quickly withdrew his oppressive aura, chuckled, and said, "I thought this kid had good judgment, so I wanted to test his strength. But, well, the intensity of his Spiritual Power is really impressive... Alright, enough talk, come in."
Wang Dong'er said irritably, "Wait a minute, I'm definitely going to tell Uncle on you, and Uncle, you'd better wait and get a beating."
"Furthermore, Yuhao possesses a spiritual Martial Soul. If his Spiritual Power isn't strong enough, and he gets injured by you, Second Father, I won't let you off the hook."
As she spoke, Wang Dong'er swung her small fist at the middle-aged man in a threatening manner.
The man chuckled, his imposing manner immediately diminishing considerably. He bent down, clasped his hands together, and pleaded, " Dong'er, my dear Dong'er, can you bear to watch your second father get beaten? Your second father knows he was wrong, knows he was wrong..."
Wang Dong'er snorted coldly and turned her head away, while the middle-aged man moved to the other side.
Having no other choice, Wang Dong'er waved her hand in forgiveness, saying, "Alright, alright, your second father will forgive you this time, but don't do it again next time."
The man quickly wiped away his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, " Dong'er, your second father really hasn't spoiled you for nothing."
"Hehe, that's Second Father. I still love you, don't worry." Wang Dong'er patted the man's shoulder with a smile and pulled Huo Yuhao inside.
"Oh, I haven't greeted my uncle yet..." Huo Yuhao said, turning around.
Wang Dong'er waved her hand and said, "Oh, it's alright. After all, Second Father was unreasonable first. Don't pay him any mind."
Wang Qiu'er silently followed behind the two and entered the gate of the Clear Sky Sect.
But whenever I passed that middle-aged man, I always felt like I was being watched.
There was no one else around, only the middle-aged man standing at the door.
Wang Qiu'er stopped and frowned, asking, "Uncle, is there something you need?"
The man smiled and said, "No, it's windy up the mountain, and I need to close the door. Pretty girl, don't catch a cold. Let Dong'er show you around first, I'll be there shortly."
As he spoke, the man gripped the heavy stone door with both hands, and the several-ton stone door closed slowly and effortlessly.
Wang Qiu'er withdrew her gaze, looked at the man, and thought to herself that she had been overthinking things. She then turned and followed Huo Yuhao.
After the three had completely left, the middle-aged man leaned against the door, his eyes gleaming, watching the direction they had gone, muttering to himself, "Girls grow up and leave home... I wonder what that one was thinking."
