City of Chaos, Golden Core Experts Arrive
Time slips away quietly.
After several days of turmoil, the City of Chaos seemed to have returned to its former "peace."
However, all the well-informed forces in the city discovered that the once invincible Black Wind Stronghold had become a mere shell of its former self, completely reduced to a vassal of the Red Flower Society.
The mastermind behind all of this, the mysterious and powerful figure known as "Dongfang Ri," vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air.
On this day, a ripple suddenly appeared in the sky above the City of Chaos.
A stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in a moon-white gown and possessing an ethereal and aloof air, appeared out of thin air without a sound.
It was Qin Rushuang.
She hovered in mid-air, her powerful Divine Sense sweeping across the entire city like an invisible tide.
A moment later, a deep confusion and... worry flashed in her clear, cold eyes.
[strangeness...]
Why are there so few auras of Innate experts in this city?
[Moreover, even those at the Innate Seventh Level or above are extremely rare.]
[Given that kid's talent for causing trouble, in a place like this, could... something really have happened to him?]
Just as worries began to rise in her heart, a sweet laugh full of surprise and affection rang out beside her without warning.
"Oh my~ Isn't this Sister Qin? What wind has blown you, the ' Iceberg Fairy ' of the Martial Sect, to such a remote and impoverished place?"
Qin Rushuang's brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.
A woman dressed in a seven-colored Liuli dress, with equally stunning beauty and a lively and cheerful demeanor like a girl next door, was smiling at her.
"Shui Yan'er?" Qin Rushuang looked at the newcomer, her tone indifferent, "Why are you here too?"
"Hehe~" The woman named Shui Yan'er came over affectionately and took Qin Rushuang's arm. "My two disobedient clones sent me some interesting news a few days ago. I was curious, so I came to see for myself~"
The two girls she was referring to were none other than Shui Ling'er and Huo Ling'er!
Upon hearing this, Qin Rushuang's heart stirred.
"They say that in this City of Chaos, a peerless prodigy has emerged... who is suspected of having achieved the ' Saint-Grade Innate ' level!" Shui Yan'er's eyes gleamed with immense excitement. "So, I came here to see if I could bring him back to our Water and Fire Sect!"
"Saint-Grade Innate?" A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Rushuang's eyes.
How could such a barren land possibly give birth to something like that?
"Yes!" Shui Yan'er nodded, tilting her head as she recalled, "Those two girls said that person's name was... Dongfang Ri?"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this name, Qin Rushuang's usually calm and composed face revealed an uncontrollable shock for the first time!
She grabbed Shui Yan'er's shoulder and asked urgently, "Say it again! What's his name?!"
"Dong... Dongfang Ri." Shui Yan'er was startled by her reaction. "What's wrong? Sister Qin, do you know him?"
She said with some confusion, "I don't know the specifics either. I only know that this guy named Dongfang Ri was able to easily defeat my two combined clones all by himself! You know, my two girls, although they are just clones, are by no means lacking in talent! When the two of them joined forces and used ' Water and Fire Share the Same Origin,' even an ordinary Early-stage Foundation Establishment might not have an advantage! This Dongfang Ri is really quite interesting~"
Upon hearing this, Qin Rushuang's heart was already filled with a raging storm!
But then, a feeling of relief washed over him, along with a hint of... even more troublesome worries, all at the same time!
[As expected... it really was that little rascal!]
[Has his strength really grown to this level?!]
[However... Shui Yan'er, once she gets interested in something, she's like a persistent Ox Skin, never giving up until she gets what she wants!]
"Hehe~" Shui Yan'er looked at Qin Rushuang's interesting expression, her eyes sparkling with gossip. "Looks like we have the same goal~"
She patted Qin Rushuang on the shoulder and said in a serious tone, "Sister Qin, as you know, our human race has suffered many more Golden Core geniuses in the ' Astral Battlefield ' recently. If a ' Saint-Grade Innate ' prodigy could join us, it would be a tremendous boon to our entire Central Domain! Don't try to take it from me!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed across Qin Rushuang's usually cool and beautiful face. But then, she looked at Shui Yan'er and said, word by word, in an unquestionable tone:
He is mine.
"Oh~~~~?"
Shui Yan'er drawled out her words, a look of unprecedented interest appearing on her face.
This was the first time she had ever seen Qin Rushuang act so possessively!
Qin Rushuang realized she had been somewhat out of line, and a barely perceptible blush rose on her pretty face, but she still insisted, "In short, don't even think about making a move on him."
Just as the two were "standing in confrontation"!
A terrifying aura, filled with coldness and brutality, descended from the sky!
Who is it?!
"Who killed my Ice Evil Sect's Foundation Establishment Deacon?!"
A cold, sinister man clad in black ice crystal armor, whose aura had reached the Mid Golden Core, appeared out of thin air. His eyes, filled with endless killing intent, were fixed on the City of Chaos below!
"People from the Ice Evil Sect?"
Shui Yan'er blinked as she looked at the Golden Core expert who exuded murderous aura, a look of anticipation on her face.
A thoughtful look flashed in Qin Rushuang's clear, cold eyes.
[The Foundation Establishment of the Ice Evil Sect...]
[Could it be... that little brat did it too?]
An absurd yet seemingly perfectly reasonable thought arose in her mind.
Shui Yan'er had obviously thought of this as well, and she casually waved her hand downwards.
"You, come up here."
Black Wind Stronghold, Council Hall.
Hei Xiong, the deputy chieftain who was nervously handling the gang's affairs, suddenly felt an irresistible, boundless power instantly engulf him!
The next moment, he only felt a blur before his eyes, and he was already standing tens of thousands of feet in the sky!
He stared in horror at the two women before him, who were as beautiful as goddesses from the heavens. Terrified, he collapsed to his knees on the clouds with a thud!
"Senior... Senior, spare my life!"
"I'll ask, you answer," Shui Yan'er said with a grin, but her beautiful eyes were devoid of any emotion. "Has anything interesting happened in this city lately, besides Black Wind Stronghold and the Red Flower Society?"
"Reporting to... Reporting to Senior!" Hei Xiong dared not conceal anything and hurriedly recounted in detail how Dongfang Yueming robbed, how he destroyed Black Wind Stronghold, how he suppressed Red Flower Society, and finally, how he... with a single finger, wiped out Su Mohan, the city lord of the Ice Evil Sect!
"What?!"
After listening, even Shui Yan'er and Qin Rushuang were already somewhat prepared for Dongfang Yueming's "monstrous" level of talent.
But at this moment, I still couldn't help but let out a gasp!
[He... he actually, with the Innate Realm, defeated the Foundation Establishment?!]
The Hei Xiong lay on the ground, its heart also churning with turbulent emotions!
He never dreamed that one day he would be able to see three... legendary Golden Core cultivators at the same time!
"Hehehe..." After a brief moment of shock, Shui Yan'er suddenly let out a silvery laugh. She looked at Qin Rushuang, her eyes sparkling with an unprecedented excitement, like a hunter spotting his prey!
"Sister Qin, it seems this little guy is a hundred times more interesting than we imagined!"
"Now, I'm getting more and more interested!"
"He is mine." Qin Rushuang's tone remained aloof, but her tightly clenched hands betrayed the turmoil within her.
"That's not necessarily true."
The two women's gazes collided violently in mid-air!
An invisible yet terrifying aura, powerful enough to change the very fabric of heaven and earth, erupted instantly!
At this moment, the most bewildered person was none other than the Ice Evil Sect Golden Core cultivator who had just been so aggressive.
He stared blankly at the two stunningly beautiful women in front of him who had suddenly started to "compete for his attention," feeling as if his brain wasn't quite up to the task.
But then, a bone-chilling cold surged up wildly from the depths of his heart!
