Ji Dong and Lan Bao'er
Now change your perspective.
The boy named Ji Dong was extremely wary of the man and two women in front of him. He knew that the reason he was fighting the Nether Yin Demon Wolf was because he had sensed its presence with his Spiritual Power before it attacked and lured it out.
During the ensuing battle, he continued to use a portion of his Spiritual Power to ensure that there were no other people around, since this place, called Sacred and Evil Island, was the battlefield between their Light Five Elements Continent and Dark Five Elements Continent!
Anyone lurking here could be an enemy from the Dark Five Elements Continent, and even allies from the Light Five Elements Continent cannot be trusted entirely; the so-called Light Heavenly Stem Saints we encountered before is the biggest example!
However, these people appeared silently and delivered the final blow to the Nether Yin Demon Wolf without anyone noticing, and his Spiritual Detection failed to detect anything!
This means that either they possess some special Magic Power artifacts, or one of them has a cultivation level or Spiritual Power far exceeding mine.
But looking at the three of them, apart from the golden-armored woman in the purple-haired boy's arms who looked a year or two older than him, the purple-haired boy and the blonde girl with red eyes both looked younger than him.
It should be noted that someone with a cultivation level of four crowns at the age of sixteen is already considered an unparalleled genius among magic masters, especially considering that he has Yin-Yang Balanced Physique that is regarded as a waste by the general public.
If any of them truly surpassed Ji Dong in cultivation, then Ji Dong would have truly learned what it meant to be outmatched and to be in a world beyond our understanding.
At this moment, the blue-haired woman behind Ji Dong whispered, "What should we do with Ji Dong now? Although I can't tell the strength of these three, their ability to kill a sixth-tier Nether Yin Demon Wolf shows that their cultivation must be extraordinary."
The girl who spoke was Ji Dong's companion, named Lan Bao'er. She was also a genius in the Yin-Yang School Academy of the Heavenly Stem Academy of the Light Five Elements Continent, where Ji Dong once belonged. Her attribute was Gui Water, which is Yin Water.
Ji Dong didn't turn around to look at the girl, but still used Magic Power to mask his voice and said, "Bao'er, at this time, we should observe them first. We know nothing about them, so even if they mean us no harm, we can't let our guard down."
Lan Bao'er nodded, indicating that she understood Ji Dong's meaning. Although she knew nothing about the strength of these three, the fact that they could kill a sixth-tier Nether Yin Demon Wolf with a single blow without the two of them noticing was terrifying. On the battlefield, any attack could lead to disastrous consequences.
Ji Dong continued to observe the trio before him, his gaze revealing a thoughtful expression. He did not immediately take hostile action against them, but instead chose to observe.
After all, on this unfamiliar battlefield, no one knows where the other side comes from. They could be an allied force from the Light Five Elements Continent, or they could be enemies from the Dark Five Elements Continent.
At the same time, Blue Cat II was also silently circulating her Gui Water Magic Power, so that she would be prepared if the opponent showed any tendency to attack.
Just then, Ji Dong suddenly raised his hand, acting rashly because Lan Bao'er was carrying medicine. Based on his observation, the three people in front of him should not be enemies, nor did they seem to harbor any hostility towards him.
There are three pieces of evidence:
First, the boy who made the move just now is showing an embarrassed expression, indicating that his attack was not intentional. Although it is unclear whether this "not intentional" refers to whether he intentionally killed the Nether Yin Demon Wolf or whether he intentionally missed Ji Dong.
Secondly, if they were either double-crossing or enemies from the Dark Five Elements Continent, then after killing the Nether Yin Demon Wolf, they should have immediately seized its crystal core and fled, or attacked the two of them before they could react.
Third, and most importantly, the boy was carrying a golden-armored woman who looked very weak. From Ji Dong's spiritual perception, this weakness was not feigned; the woman genuinely seemed to have only recently escaped a life-threatening situation.
Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't carry a wounded soldier while attempting to ambush the enemy; they would first ensure the wounded are in a safe place before launching their attack.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the man and two women currently do not pose any threat to our side. However, we should still be on the safe side, since we might as well take a chance and something unexpected might happen.
After a moment of silence, Ji Dong broke the silence and stepped forward, clasping his hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "I am Ji Dong, and I thank you all for your help earlier."
"I don't know who you are, but since we've appeared on this Sacred and Evil Battlefield, we need to proceed with caution. So, if possible, could you release your Yin Yang Crown to prove your identities? In return, we will release our Yin Yang Crown."
Upon hearing this, the purple-haired boy and the blonde girl with red eyes exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement.
Three Yin Yang Crown appeared before Ji Dong. Ji Dong and Lan Bao'er breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the golden luster enveloping the three Yin Yang Crown.
The luster enveloping the Yin Yang Crown symbolizes the hidden attributes of each Yin Yang Magic Master. Those born from the Light Five Elements Continent will have a golden luster, while those born from the Dark Five Elements Continent will have a grayish-black luster.
However, after a closer look, both of them were nearly speechless with astonishment. The golden-armored woman's black Yin Yang Crown had six stars, the blonde-haired, red-eyed girl's white Yin Yang Crown also had six stars, but the purple-haired boy at the head of the group had a white Yin Yang Crown with seven stars?!?
The woman in golden armor was alright; although she wasn't much older than Ji Dong, her age was still within acceptable limits. However, the other two were definitely two or three years younger than him, one with Six Crowns and the other with Seven Crowns.
Generally speaking, to reach such a level of cultivation at this age is truly a genius among geniuses.
Faced with someone whose strength far surpassed his and Lan Bao'er's, Ji Dong's vigilance was immediately heightened. If they showed any sign of hostility towards him, he would immediately unleash the Wings of the Vermilion Bird and escape with Lan Bao'er.
Just then, the purple-haired youth at the head spoke up, "My name is Xu Xingyu, and these are my companions Gu Qiuxi and Ya Lin'er. I apologize for seemingly stealing your prey earlier. However, I think you can see that our companion Ya Lin'er isn't feeling particularly well right now."
"If possible, could you tell us the nearest military camp? We fought a rather troublesome monster earlier, and lost the map in the process, so we're a bit lost now."
