Yan Zhaoge hugged Feng Yunsheng and smiled, "I'm about to become a wife-gazing rock …"
Halfway through his sentence, his mouth was already sealed by two warm lips.
Feeling her trembling, Yan Zhaoge hugged Feng Yunsheng and allowed her to feel his embrace. He absorbed the energy that calmed her down.
Over the years, he had gone through many shocking experiences. He had just completed a challenge that was inconceivable to many people.
However, the woman in his embrace had gone through much more dangerous experiences. Nine out of ten deaths wasn't enough to describe how dangerous it was.
Her opponents weren't only the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua, but also the devilish intent that was constantly corroding her will and the Nine Underworlds Great Devils that were chasing after her in reality.
Through the North Ocean Clone's conversation, Yan Zhaoge already knew that she almost encountered the Grand Heavenly Immortal Shadow Devil in the Nine Underworlds.
Connecting the Shadow Devil's actions of infiltrating the World beyond Worlds and occupying the Northern Profound Heaven Territory, Yan Zhaoge suspected that the Shadow Devil was here to stop Feng Yunsheng.
The woman in his embrace had a tenacious will that Yan Zhaoge rarely saw.
Perhaps, she would only reveal this side of her in front of him.
Moreover, she might only be like this at this moment. At other times, she would still be that determined, bright, and elegant woman.
As such, Yan Zhaoge didn't say anything or do anything else. He only hugged her.
Amidst the silence, the two seemed to have exchanged thousands of words. They felt each other's longing for him and experienced the emotions accumulated in their hearts after separating.
After a long while, their lips parted.
After the two looked at each other, they smiled at the same time.
Yan Zhaoge extended his finger and lightly scratched Feng Yunsheng's nose bridge.
Feng Yunsheng snorted and opened her mouth. She was about to bite him.
Then, the usually bright woman showed a rare shyness. However, it wasn't towards Yan Zhaoge. Instead, it was towards the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei, "I'm sorry for my rudeness. Please forgive me, Sword Sovereign …"
Although it was her first time seeing him in person, she had seen the projection of the World beyond Worlds' Three Sovereigns before.
After communicating with Yan Zhaoge's North Ocean Clone, she had a general understanding of the current situation and the relationship between her and her enemies.
"It's normal to be unable to control one's emotions after suffering." A gentle smile appeared on Yue Zhenbei's stern face, "I'm the one who's obstructing your reunion."
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "I've let senior apprentice-uncle see a joke."
The redness on Feng Yunsheng's face disappeared. However, she still retreated and separated from Yan Zhaoge. She respectfully bowed towards Yue Zhenbei, "Broad Creed Mountain's disciple, Feng Yunsheng, greets the Sword Sovereign."
"Dispense with the formalities. There's no need to be so courteous. If we're really going by etiquette, I should be the one addressing you with honorifics." Yue Zhenbei raised his hand into the air.
"I was just lucky. I'm like a rootless duckweed. How would I dare to be arrogant in front of you?" Feng Yunsheng smiled and said, "Then … how about I call you martial uncle like Zhaoge?"
"Of course." Yue Zhenbei looked at her from top to bottom, "I shouldn't have disturbed your reunion. However, since we're talking about this, please forgive me for asking. What's the current situation between you and the Exalted Rahu Luminary?"
Yan Zhaoge similarly looked towards Feng Yunsheng.
Due to the general situation of the Dao universe previously, the North Ocean Clone's conversation with Feng Yunsheng was mainly about the situation and changes in the World beyond Worlds after confirming that Feng Yunsheng wasn't possessed by Jian Shunhua.
They didn't talk much about Feng Yunsheng's personal situation.
While Yan Zhaoge wanted to talk about the feelings of parting with Feng Yunsheng, there were some matters that were more urgent and important.
"Previously in the Nine Underworlds, due to stealing a portion of the Doomsday Heavenly Devil's authority, an accident seemed to have happened during the ritual. After that, the Exalted Rahu Luminary never appeared again." Feng Yunsheng said with a serious expression, "However, I'm not sure if she had completely disappeared and ceased to exist."
If Feng Yunsheng had to name the toughest opponent she had ever faced, it would undoubtedly be the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua.
The others might be stronger, but it was mostly related to the disparity in cultivation.
As for the battle against Jian Shunhua, it had nothing to do with cultivation. Instead, it was purely a battle of willpower.
Feng Yunsheng had never experienced such a battle before. While it was a new experience, it was also exceptionally difficult.
She was known for her strong willpower, and her opponent this time was the same.
If it wasn't for the interference of external forces during the ritual, the two might still be fighting against each other.
For Jian Shunhua, perhaps it was the same feeling.
If her opponent wasn't Feng Yunsheng, she might have already returned to the mortal realm.
"The Wood Devil should be here to look for me. At the very least, his main goal is to look for me. His secondary goal is to take advantage of the chaos in the World beyond Worlds to see if he can fish in troubled waters," said Feng Yunsheng in a deep voice.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "The Astro Sovereign and Little Jun and his mother were both affected by the Shadow Devil's devilish intent. What would happen if you ran into him?"
"I won't." Feng Yunsheng shook her head, "Only the existence of the Six Ancestral Devils like the Doomsday Heavenly Devil would trigger my devilish intent. Otherwise, even the Wood Devil wouldn't be able to affect me."
"However, as long as I borrow the power of the Doomsday Heavenly Devil when I fight with others, I would still have to be careful even if there aren't any other devils around."
She said, "Of course, even if the Wood Devil didn't trigger my devilish intent, I wouldn't be his opponent if he blocked my way. After all, he's an Ancient Devil equivalent to our Daoism's Grand Heavenly Immortal level."
"That's right." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "The Shadow Devil's infiltration was out of everyone's expectation. However, the Exalted Fire breaking through the Origin Heavenly Tribulation was also out of his expectation. Otherwise, he might have succeeded."
When Yan Zhaoge thought about Feng Yunsheng, he felt like he had just survived a calamity.
Feng Yunsheng frowned, "The Wood Devil infiltrated the World beyond Worlds and hid in the Northern Profound Heaven Territory. He was waiting for me to come to him. He's proficient in transformation. Then, the Northern Exalt …"
"The Northern Exalt should have died." Yan Zhaoge nodded silently.
Feng Yunsheng pursed her lips tightly.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Don't blame yourself. If the Exalted Rahu Luminary's arrangements didn't fall into the enemy's hands, the Shadow Devil wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the Northern Profound Heaven Territory without a trace."
Feng Yunsheng forced a smile and shook her head.
She looked at Yan Zhaoge, "I saw the Northern Profound Heaven Territory still in the World beyond Worlds …"
"The space there is unique. It's directly connected to the Dao universe, and is connected to the outskirts of the void's land of tranquil streams. It can't be separated." Yan Zhaoge knew what she was thinking and answered, "However, through the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion's token plate and the formation I laid down, the Profound Remnant Locale's Cloud Pavilion Mountain was brought here along with many other forces of the central Jun Heaven Territory."
Feng Yunsheng nodded and said softly, "I want to see Yuluo."
Her expression was a little gloomy as if she didn't know how to face her old friend. However, after a while, her expression gradually became firm and peaceful. She had to face whatever she had to face.
