"Where... where is this? How did I end up here?"
As the figure emerged from the white light, they appeared bewildered and somewhat lost.
Just as everyone's attention focused on them, another beam of white light descended from the sky. From within this light, another figure stepped out.
Immediately after!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Witnessing the consecutive white lights raining down, most people were stunned.
They had no idea what was happening.
Not only them, but even those who had been teleported here found their vision going dark, utterly confused.
"Wasn't I at the outskirts of the Heavenly Sentinel Land? Why am I suddenly here?"
"Wh... what's going on?"
"Oh my god! That aura... is it a Martial Emperor? No... wait! This... this..."
"Heavens! What in the world has happened? Why are there so many powerful beings here!"
"Martial... Martial God! I... I've actually seen a Martial God?"
"This... is this the core region?"
"..."
Those who were teleported felt their legs tremble with fear from the terrifying auras surrounding them.
Judging by their panicked exclamations, these individuals seemed to have been forcibly teleported from the outer and inner regions of the Heavenly Sentinel Land.
They had been transported to the core region of the Heavenly Sentinel Land.
At this moment, everyone in the entire Heavenly Sentinel Land was gathered together.
After everyone had been teleported to this location, the sky slowly returned to normal, and sunlight once again illuminated the land.
...
On a certain mountain peak, a woman clad in a simple white dress gazed towards the direction of the core region. Even though she was a hundred miles away, the faces of everyone there seemed as if they were right before her eyes, clearly visible.
"It's time to bring that battle from years ago to a conclusion!" the woman murmured to herself. "This time, you won't get away!"
Her gaze then shifted, her eyes sweeping across a multitude of faces. When the image of a young man appeared in her sight, his eyes seemed to shimmer with starlight, exceptionally bright.
"This time, you can't cause me any more trouble! Otherwise, I will..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but her tone clearly revealed a hint of slyness.
...
"Yuè Mián! It seems we've been brought to the core region." A hundred meters to the left of the central formation, an elegant and noble woman spoke with a serious tone.
Behind her followed a group of disciples from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion.
"Mm."
Du Yuè Mián nodded, her eyes scanning her surroundings as if searching for something.
Seeing this, Xi Qíāo, standing beside her, slightly curved her lips and teased, "We've only been apart for a few hours, and you're already missing your lover?"
Lover?
Upon hearing the word, Du Yuè Mián's pretty face flushed. "Sister Qíāo, what are you talking about?"
After all, a group of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion disciples were standing behind them.
"Alright! I won't tease you anymore!"
Xi Qíāo sighed, shaking her head. "With Brother Ye's strength, he should be able to sense you soon!"
Hearing this, Du Yuè Mián's beautiful eyes lit up. It seemed that was indeed the case.
And just as she thought that... speak of the devil!
"I just heard someone was thinking of me!"
At this moment, not far in front of Du Yuè Mián, a young man with a smile on his face strode towards her.
Behind him followed an elder.
"No! You heard wrong!"
Seeing the young man, Du Yuè Mián bit her lip and stubbornly replied.
"Is that so?"
Ye Ming arrived beside her, his eyes appraising the beautiful woman before him, much like a lecher.
"It seems you've experienced quite a bit of practical combat. Your aura has become much more stable!" Ye Ming praised.
"Brother Ye! You've hit the nail on the head!"
Before Du Yuè Mián could reply, Xi Qíāo beside her couldn't help but interject, "Do you know what new title Yuè Mián gained after the fortuitous encounters appeared in the inner region?"
"Oh? What is it?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming became quite curious.
"'She who wields twin moons descends upon the mortal realm, such a peerless maiden in this world.' Xi Qíāo nudged Yuè Mián and chuckled, "It refers to our... Twin Moon Fairy!"
Twin Moon Fairy!
Hearing this title, it suited Du Yuè Mián quite well.
After all, the weapon she used now was the Du family's ancestral blade... Twin Moon.
"It sounds nice!"
Ye Ming gently took her hand and said softly, "And very powerful!"
Feeling the warmth in his palm, Du Yuè Mián's heart warmed. She looked at the young man before her and softly asked, "Are you alright!"
From what Xi Qíāo had relayed from Xuān Yuè earlier, she knew there was a very powerful immortal cultivator in the Heavenly Sentinel Land.
"Do I look like I'm not alright?"
Ye Ming patted her hand and said, "Tell me, what were the fortuitous encounters that appeared in your inner region!"
Hearing this, Du Yuè Mián briefly recounted the events that transpired in the inner region after Ye Ming's departure.
From Du Yuè Mián's account, it was clear that apart from the core region of the Heavenly Sentinel Land, the way fortuitous encounters appeared in the outer and inner regions was the same.
When these encounters manifested, a massive magic formation appeared. Under the influence of this formation, cultivation techniques, weapons, secret arts, and elixirs materialized out of thin air in various locations.
The appearance of these items, without a doubt, instantly triggered a mad scramble.
Both the outer and inner regions became scenes of frenzied plundering.
And Du Yuè Mián's title, "Twin Blade Fairy," was earned during this struggle.
...
"So, the outer and inner regions have completely turned into a battlefield ruled by brute force!"
After listening, Ye Ming realized that the core region was the most tranquil place.
There was basically no conflict.
After all, the trials were indeed too outrageous.
"That's exactly right!"
Du Yuè Mián said gravely, "To snatch these fortuitous encounters, even some of the powerhouses residing in the core region rushed to the inner region. With their intervention, the people in the inner region..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Ye Ming could imagine the scene.
Mentioning this, Xi Qíāo, who was beside them, seemed about to speak but was subtly stopped by a look from Du Yuè Mián.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Ming also noticed.
"It's nothing! Sister Qíāo was just about to say that some of the powerhouses who came from the core region acted rather domineeringly, using force against the weak to snatch opportunities!" Du Yuè Mián turned to Xi Qíāo and said, "Right, Sister Qíāo!"
"Uh... yes!"
After hearing this, Xi Qíāo nodded.
However, her expression seemed unnatural.
"Is that so?"
Ye Ming glanced at the two women and ultimately didn't press the matter further.
Since they didn't wish to speak, why force them?
Beside them, Xi Qíāo also looked at Du Yuè Mián, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
But at that moment, a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression and emitting a terrifying aura strode towards Xi Qíāo and the others.
His gaze swept over everyone before finally locking onto Du Yuè Mián.
"Bitch! I don't believe the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion can protect you forever!"
