A lone man and a lone woman might be in a foreign and dangerous environment. They would support each other, rely on each other, and admire each other. Their strengths, backgrounds, and ages were similar.
If they went through thick and thin together, or even went through life and death together, Yan Zhaoge felt that sparks would easily fly.
Nie Jingshen was Yan Xintang's grand-disciple.
Yu Ye was Long Xingquan and Gao Qingxuan's granddaughter.
In terms of martial arts, they were the most outstanding successors.
Even their views might be influenced by their seniors during their growth.
However, this didn't mean that their fates were the same as their seniors.
In reality, Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye had indeed held a lot of praises for each other. However, there were no signs of them having a relationship with each other, at the very least, for now.
The tradition of turning hostility into marriage was only a joke made by Yan Zhaoge.
He didn't even think about it previously.
However, the current situation was too suitable.
It was so suitable that nothing would happen. Instead, it would make others feel that something was wrong.
"They turn hostility into friendship, while we turn hostility into marriage. I really have to believe in some things." Yan Zhaoge muttered, "Although I didn't have any conflicts with Yunsheng, strictly speaking, the Sacred Sun Clan that she came from was my Broad Creed Mountain's opponent in the Eight Extremities Worlds …"
Although Yan Zhaoge looked like he was having a headache, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
He was seriously considering this matter.
Especially after the Vine Sovereign perished, it made others feel like their future was uncertain.
"If what you said really happened, I won't interfere with the youngsters' relationship." Yue Zhenbei's expression turned serious, "However, Li Ziteng's perishment …"
Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, and Yue Zhenbei looked at each other and were speechless.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Senior apprentice-brother Nie and the others will return soon. They're safe and sound." In the end, Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself.
Yue Zhenbei didn't say anything, while Yan Di said, "In any case, their safety is the most important."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze swept through the boundless void and softly said, "Yes. I hope that they're safe and sound."
…
"Where … is this place?"
When Nie Jingshen escaped from the space-time turbulence, he saw a strange scene in front of him.
Amidst the yellow fog, one would not be able to see their own fingers if they stretched out their hands. It was as if there was a sharp light on one's back.
Even with Nie Jingshen's cultivation, which had already pushed open the Immortal Door, and his willpower and temperament had always been firm, he actually felt a strong chill at this moment, causing his heart to palpitate.
After stabilizing his state of mind, Nie Jingshen turned to look at Yu Ye, only to see that she was much more at ease compared to him.
This wasn't because of the disparity in strength between the two. Instead, it was because Yu Yeyi's Clear martial arts and sword intent were able to move more freely within the yellow mist. As a result, the influence of the yellow mist on her was much weaker.
Seeing this, Nie Jingshen fell into deep thought.
However, he quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Junior Martial Sister Yu, don't worry. Her Majesty, the Vine Sovereign, will definitely come out of this misfortune alive."
Although Yu Ye was more relaxed than Nie Jingshen under the yellow mist, her expression was more solemn and sorrowful.
Before she was devoured by the black hole, the last scene she saw was the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei trying to save her. However, he was rejected by the Vine Sovereign.
In order to break out of the Blood Star Devil Monarch's imprisonment, the Vine Sovereign had paid a huge price and was severely injured.
Yu Ye had already personally experienced the might of the spatial distortion and tearing of space within the black hole.
With the Vine Sovereign's injuries, she would probably perish on the spot if she were to fall into the black hole.
She mustered her remaining strength and slapped away Yue Zhenbei's hand, which was equivalent to suicide.
How could Yu Ye not be overwhelmed with grief?
Now that she thought about it, she was extremely worried. Unfortunately, she didn't know what would happen in the end.
She wanted to find the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying and the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei as soon as possible. However, the yellow mist obstructed her path. Not only did it make it hard for her to determine the direction, it also made it difficult for her to move forward.
"Ancestor is already suffering from old injuries. Now, she has suffered new injuries. If she were to fall into the black hole, the consequences would be unimaginable." Despite Nie Jingshen's consolation, Yu Ye still couldn't let go of her worries.
However, she paused for a moment and continued, "The Sword Sovereign is of noble character and unquestionable integrity. You put aside your personal grudges and tried your best to save Ancestor. I'm grateful for that."
"It's just that … sigh, I didn't expect Ancestor to …"
She slapped her forehead in distress, "No, I should've thought of it. Ancestor is such a hot-blooded person. Only, I didn't know that she hated the Sword Sovereign so much."
"There's no point in thinking too much." Nie Jingshen said, "Let's try to return as soon as possible. Then, we'll know the Vine Sovereign's safety."
Yu Ye took a deep breath, "That's right."
"We were thrown into a formation by the spatial turbulence." She raised her head and looked at the yellow mist, "This seems to be the handiwork of one of our Prime Clear lineage's bigwigs. Only, I don't know who it is."
After taking a closer look, she frowned, "The formation is deathly still. It hasn't been activated."
If it were during normal times, she would've been immersed in comprehending the dao. Moreover, she possessed the Heaven Containing Purified Soul.
But now, she was extremely focused as she was worried about the Vine Sovereign's safety.
"Can you tell what formation it is?" asked Nie Jingshen.
Yu Ye shook her head, "The formation is in a state of silence. Not even a single formation pattern can be seen. There aren't any spiritual qi ripples, and its external characteristics aren't obvious. I can't recognize it just by looking at it."
She looked at her surroundings, "However, the bigwig who laid this formation has a cultivation far surpassing our own. Fortunately, the formation is in a state of silence. Otherwise, if it were to be activated, we might've lost our lives."
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"I thought of someone. If only he's here," said Nie Jingshen.
Yu Ye sighed, "I thought of someone too. I feel like I'm thinking of the same person as you."
The two laughed and shook their heads. Then, they straightened their expressions.
No signs of defeat could be seen. Only a firm conviction could be seen.
They focused and attempted to advance within the yellow mist, searching for a way out.
Yu Ye of the Prime Clear lineage led the way, and the two began moving forward.
Disturbed by their sword intent and Immortal qi, the yellow mist seemed to have a slight reaction.
The formation remained motionless. However, under the stimulation, the boundless mist automatically retaliated, causing Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye to have a harder time.
However, as the yellow mist became more active, Yu Ye gradually figured out the vague traces of the formation.
With the convenience of being of the Prime Clear lineage, she even vaguely came into contact with the martial intent left behind by the master of the formation.
"This …" Yu Ye stopped and widened her eyes, "This place is …"
"Where did it come from?" Nie Jingshen asked calmly, "While many Prime Clear formations have been lost, there aren't many that you can't recognize. Based on this, there are only a few possibilities."
Yu Ye turned to look at him and spoke slowly.
"It's the Lord of Plentiful Treasure!"
