Before the trial had even begun—
Zhuge Yu, Palace Master of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace, and Ru Yan Wuji, Sect Master of the Eternal Immortal Sect, had already reached an agreement in secret…
During the trial, disciples from both factions would work together to eliminate the disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!
Because of this—
Before the trial officially started, Nangong Yuqin and Ru Yanchen had arranged to meet within this valley.
At present, only a little over 100 people remained inside the valley.
As for the other 1,900+ disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the 2,900+ disciples of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace—
They had already split into 2 separate forces to hunt down and slaughter the disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!
The 1st group—
Was led by Yuan Shilang, the 2nd strongest inner disciple of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace.
Jia Kuang, ranked 3rd.
And Qingyang Jiangqiu, the No.1 inner disciple of the Eternal Immortal Sect.
This group had already been lying in ambush near the entrance of the God Burial Abyss for the past 3 days, waiting for Huangfu Sacred Sect disciples to walk straight into their trap!
Meanwhile—
More than 4,000 disciples from the 2 factions had scattered throughout the trial grounds, searching for and hunting down Huangfu Sacred Sect disciples.
Earlier, Ru Yanchen had just proposed that Nangong Yuqin explore the treasures within the God Burial Abyss together with him.
Naturally…
He had already secretly prepared a colorless and odorless aphrodisiac.
All he needed now was for Nangong Yuqin to fall into his trap.
From his point of view—
If he could possess Nangong Yuqin before formally marrying her, the marriage negotiations would become far easier afterward.
At this moment, Nangong Yuqin appeared slightly absent-minded as she coldly refused,
“My apologies. I’m feeling somewhat tired right now and don’t wish to go anywhere.”
“Young Master Ru Yan, please return.”
Although Ru Yanchen was extremely displeased—
He still maintained a gentle and polite appearance on the surface.
“Since the Saintess is unwell, then I won’t disturb you further.”
“I’ll visit again another day.”
After speaking—
He smiled faintly before turning around and leaving the cave, heading toward another cave on the opposite side of the valley.
The 3 beauties of the Eternal Immortal Sect—Pan Hanqing, Li Miaoxin, and Guo Biyun—who had been guarding outside immediately followed behind him.
After returning to his own cave—
Ru Yanchen’s expression instantly became terrifyingly dark.
He turned around and spoke coldly,
“You 3. Get in here.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
After the 3 women gracefully stepped into the cave—
Ru Yanchen casually waved his right sleeve.
Instantly, a soundproof barrier appeared at the cave entrance like rippling water.
Li Miaoxin walked forward seductively before speaking sweetly,
“Young Master, who upset you this time?”
“Who else could it be?!”
Ru Yanchen growled in a low voice.
“That damned Nangong Yuqin!”
“She really doesn’t know her place!”
Smack!
He fiercely slapped Li Miaoxin across the hips before roaring,
“You slut, kneel down!”
“Yes… Master…”
Li Miaoxin shot him a flirtatious look before obediently kneeling before Ru Yanchen.
“And you 2!”
“Get over here!”
Ru Yanchen barked arrogantly at Pan Hanqing and Guo Biyun.
Yet the 2 women appeared long accustomed to such treatment.
“Yes, Master.”
The 2 women walked over with seductive figures swaying gently before beginning to remove Ru Yanchen’s robes.
Ru Yanchen’s eyes became filled with twisted madness.
“You 3 filthy sluts…”
“From this moment onward, all of you are Nangong Yuqin!”
“Serve me properly!”
After that—
He imagined the 3 women as Nangong Yuqin and began venting his lust wildly within the cave…
…
At the same time—
Nangong Yuqin walked out of her cave with a thoughtful expression, her delicate brows tightly furrowed as though weighed down by something heavy in her heart.
She looked toward Zhao Shiguang, Liu Danwen, Gao Xiang, and Jiang Rou, who were standing guard outside, before speaking,
“I have something to take care of. I’ll be heading out for a while.”
“All of you remain here.”
Jiang Rou hurriedly spoke respectfully,
“Saintess, where are you going? Please allow us to accompany you!”
“There’s no need.”
Just as Nangong Yuqin was about to summon her spirit boat—
Thud!
Jiang Rou suddenly dropped to her knees.
“Saintess!”
“The Palace Master ordered the 4 of us to stay by your side and protect you at all times!”
“The Eternal Land is far too dangerous. Please allow us to accompany you!”
“That’s right, Saintess!”
Zhao Shiguang, Liu Danwen, and Gao Xiang also knelt simultaneously.
Zhuge Yu had made it extremely clear—
If anything happened to Nangong Yuqin…
The 4 of them would not survive either!
Because of this, none of them dared to let her leave alone.
Nangong Yuqin let out a long sigh before speaking tiredly,
“Rise.”
“If even I cannot escape danger…”
“Then following me would change nothing for any of you.”
She raised her head toward the sky, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Besides…”
“My mind is in complete chaos right now.”
“I only want to go for a walk… and calm myself down.”
“Alright. All of you stay here. No one is allowed to follow me.”
The moment her words fell—
Nangong Yuqin stepped onto the spirit vessel, her flowing dress fluttering in the wind.
The high-grade spirit vessel shot into the sky and vanished beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye…
Controlling the vessel alone, Nangong Yuqin headed toward the lonely mountain peak located 1,000,000 li away.
Ever since learning from Qin Xin that the one who had told Zhuge Yu how to save her life… was Tan Yun—
her heart had not known peace for even a single day.
And the thing she feared most…
was losing Tan Yun.
Whenever she remembered the image of her sword piercing through Tan Yun’s chest atop the lonely peak—
or thought about that terrifying dragon possibly attacking him at any moment—
panic and fear would instantly fill her beautiful face.
Even the mere thought that…
Tan Yun might already be dead—
made her heart ache so badly that she could barely breathe.
She did not understand where this pain and sorrow came from.
She only knew one thing—
she cared about Tan Yun far too much…
…
After 3 full days of anxiety and unease—
Nangong Yuqin finally arrived above the waterfall region.
The moment she saw the towering mountain that had once pierced the heavens now flattened into ruins—
and the devastated battlefield below—
a terrible premonition instantly surged within her heart!
“No… no!”
“He can’t die!”
Standing atop the spirit vessel, Nangong Yuqin trembled violently as tears blurred her vision.
She cried out uncontrollably—
“Tan Yun!!”
“Tan Yun, where are you?!”
Overcome with fear, she immediately spread out her spiritual sense, covering an area of 480 li below as she desperately searched for his presence again and again.
Suddenly—
she seemed to discover something.
Without even wiping away her tears, she leapt down from the spirit vessel and rushed toward the collapsed rubble of the mountain peak.
There, she found the severed wind dragon head of the Wind Thunder Dragon.
When she saw that—
the dragon skull had already been split open, and the wind-attributed beast core had been taken—
joy instantly appeared within her tear-filled eyes.
“He’s not dead…”
“He must have taken the beast core himself…”
Afterward, she traveled another 100 li and found the corpse of the Wind Thunder Dragon itself.
At the same time, she noticed—
the lightning-attributed beast core inside the dragon’s head had also been removed.
Not long later—
she discovered footprints on the damp ground nearby.
From the size and shape of the tracks—
it was obvious they belonged to 1 man and 1 woman.
“These must be Tan Yun and Gongsun Ruoxi’s footprints…”
Nangong Yuqin burst into tears of relief.
“Thank goodness…”
“He’s alive…”
“He’s safe…”
After rejoicing for a while—
Nangong Yuqin quietly sat down atop a pile of gravel, her expression filled with melancholy.
Her beautiful eyes became distant as she murmured softly to herself—
“During the 4 Arts Competition…”
“Whenever I saw him together with other women, my heart hurt for no reason…”
“It felt as though I was jealous of them…”
“And during our life-and-death battle…”
“Every time I injured him, my heart condition would flare up…”
“I wounded his body…”
“Yet the one who truly felt pain… was me…”
She bit her lip tightly as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Inside his sword formation…”
“I heard the cries of a severely wounded man…”
“If that wasn’t an illusion…”
“Then… he must have been crying because he thought I was about to die…”
“And the last time on the lonely peak…”
“When I stabbed him with my sword, my heart hurt once again…”
“When I saw the cold look in his eyes…”
“I felt sad…”
Nangong Yuqin’s voice gradually softened.
Tears flowed freely across her face as she clenched her lips tightly.
“What exactly… are these feelings I have for him?”
“Is this love?”
“Or do we share some bond from a previous life… one even we ourselves don’t understand?”
She slowly raised her head toward the sky and declared firmly—
“I, Nangong Yuqin…”
“will uncover the truth no matter what!”
…
At the same time—
while Tan Yun, Mu Mengji, and Xue Ziyan were only 500 li away from the entrance to the God Burial Abyss—
Tan Yun, who had been using his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding area, suddenly frowned deeply.
His expression changed instantly.
Mu Mengji noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice—
“Tan Yun… what happened?”
“Did you discover something?”
