Guiyu, the Mingluo Hall.
Gui Ji, who was meditating on the main hall, suddenly opened her eyes. Her figure moved, and she bowed to the void.
"I just had a premonition, and a trace of her aura emanated from the Black Sea. Gui Ji, accompany me on a trip." The next moment, a beautiful figure appeared and looked at Gui Ji.
This person was Meng Tuoluo, the current Ghost Emperor of Guiyu.
Gui Ji frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Ghost Emperor, just the two of us?"
Meng Tuoluo's voice was a little cold. "She only has a few close confidants left. Do you think we can't defeat them together?"
Gui Ji's body trembled. Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger; Gui Ji knew this well. Especially the Ghost Emperor in front of her, who was an extremely cold-blooded existence. If not for this, how could she have become the current Ghost Emperor in the first place?
"It was my subordinate who was being overly cautious," Gui Ji said, bowing slightly.
Meng Tuoluo waved her hand. "Let's go."
The next moment, the two of them disappeared from their original positions.
In Zhenyu, Li Yao was the first to wake up. Qin Guang and Yang Xiao, along with the other six, also woke up successively on the second day.
Li Yao had fully recovered. Not only that, but her aura was even stronger than before. Even Qin Guang and Yang Xiao, along with the other six, had all broken through their own limits. The weakest among them had reached the early stage of the Dao Attainment realm.
Li Xuan knew very well that back on the Vast Continent, although Yang Xiao and Qin Guang were stronger than him, they were not overwhelmingly so. Now, the gap between them was growing larger and larger.
Even Li Xuan, who had initially thought Li Yao was at the peak of the Life and Death realm, based on his limited understanding then, did not find it surprising when he saw Li Yao possessing the peak Dao Attainment realm strength after learning more about the Four-Dimensional Space.
How could the top ten forces in the Four-Dimensional Space not have peak Dao Attainment realm experts guarding them to maintain their status?
"Yao'er, what are you planning to do next? Just say it, and your brother will help you!" Li Xuan said.
Qin Guang, Yang Xiao, and the other six also turned their gaze to Li Yao. After all, Li Yao was the true master of Guiyu.
Li Yao fell silent for a moment before saying, "Brother, I will have a fair fight with her."
"Little Master, you are only at the Dao Vestige realm. How can you help?" Just as Li Xuan was about to speak, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush entered his mind. If Li Yao were the only one present, the Heavenly Dao Brush wouldn't have minded being so blunt.
Li Xuan was stunned. He realized that he truly couldn't help much.
"Little Master, trust your sister. Her strength is inherently linked to Guiyu, and with the Primordial Violet Qi given by Little Bai, it can be said that your sister's potential has been greatly increased. This battle is a milestone for her," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
"Yao'er, no matter what, survival is the most important thing," Li Xuan said, looking at Li Yao with some worry, unsure of how to express himself.
Li Yao smiled slightly and nodded. "Brother, let's go out."
Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded. With a thought, the eight of them instantly appeared within a golden barrier.
Li Xuan had learned a general understanding of this space through his conversation with Li Yao. This place belonged to a secret area within Guiyu. If Li Yao had not encountered the Demon Emperor Lian Sheng and the current Ghost Emperor Meng Tuoluo's sparring, she would not have exposed this place.
It could be said that this place was the nexus of Guiyu. Moreover, this golden barrier could be moved at Li Yao's will. This was why Meng Tuoluo had been unable to find Li Yao's whereabouts after searching for a year.
"Brother, after I finish this fight, can you stay for a while longer?" After leaving Zhenyu, Li Yao looked at the void and then at Li Xuan, asking with a smile.
Li Xuan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, brother will always be here."
Li Yao smiled sweetly and then said to Qin Guang, Yang Xiao, and the other six, "While I am away, you will all follow my brother's arrangements."
"Yes!" Qin Guang and Yang Xiao immediately echoed. They were well aware of Li Xuan's significance. The other four exchanged glances and then bowed as well.
Li Xuan, however, frowned slightly. Li Yao's tone seemed to be making arrangements for something. Just as Li Xuan was about to speak, Li Yao looked up at the void.
"As expected, you've discovered this place. You truly are the most talented prodigy back then."
"After a year, I didn't expect you to have recovered." As Li Yao's voice fell, Meng Tuoluo and Gui Ji slowly appeared above the golden barrier.
"However, with your injuries back then, it would have been impossible to recover in just three to five years." Meng Tuoluo's gaze swept over Qin Guang, Yang Xiao, and the others before settling on Li Xuan with a slight frown. "The Chosen One, so it was because of him."
"He is my brother, Li Xuan," Li Yao said calmly.
Meng Tuoluo seemed to look at Li Yao with some surprise and then said, "Your disentanglement technique is quite impressive, to have placed the strongest individual in his family. But with your methods back then, were all of these planned by you?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "I don't want to talk about the past. Moreover, there's no need to discuss it further. I am Li Yao, and I will only ever be Li Yao."
"What a clever move, to abandon your own name just to be associated with him. Well, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, although he is the Chosen One, his Dao Vestige realm strength is not enough to survive in this Four-Dimensional Space," Meng Tuoluo said, looking at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan felt a sense of speechlessness. Ever since Meng Tuoluo appeared, she had been staring at him. Did he have flowers on his face? And why was she always talking about him?
"How about fighting me?" Li Yao did not directly respond to Meng Tuoluo's words but asked her instead.
Meng Tuoluo was silent for a moment before shaking her head. "Although I don't fear fighting you, it's not necessary at the moment. Moreover, if you and I were to fight, how much of Guiyu would remain?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "Guiyu has already been opened by me. You don't need to use that excuse to fob me off. Hmm, you can go find your Demon Emperor Lian Sheng. This time, I want to fight both of you!"
Hearing Li Yao's voice grow colder towards the end, Li Xuan was also taken aback. It had been a long time since he had seen Yao'er, and her temper seemed to have flared up.
"A fight in the void," Meng Tuoluo said after a long silence, her eyes sharp as she looked at Li Yao.
"Just as I wish!" Li Yao nodded and, after glancing at Li Xuan, disappeared from her original spot.
As Li Yao departed, Meng Tuoluo turned her gaze to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was startled. Was this woman going to break the rules and attack him? A peak Dao Attainment realm expert, that would be too shameless.
"She, indeed, has found a good brother," Meng Tuoluo said with a smile, looking at Li Xuan, and then disappeared from her original spot.
Li Xuan was immediately relieved. An existence at the peak of the Dao Attainment realm was indeed quite pressure-inducing.
