"Perhaps someone fought here and perished together, leaving only it behind." The old woman in black muttered to herself. It seemed that this was the only explanation. Spatial artifacts had always been precious, and it was impossible for them to be abandoned on purpose. Even if they were damaged, they would still be taken away.
"Let's not worry about that for now. Let this old one take a look at it first. If it really is an ownerless item, it might be of great use to us."
The old woman in black seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. Before she finished speaking, she had already shot forward like lightning.
"Hmm?"
Just as the tip of her finger was about to touch the scroll, the expression of the black-clothed old woman suddenly changed. Her body retreated more than ten meters at an even faster speed, her eyes revealing a strong sense of vigilance. The eyes of the young girl in the red dress and the purple-clothed woman that followed closely behind were filled with shock and anger.
At the side of the scroll, a figure appeared without warning.
It was a young man wearing a red robe that was like fire. His face was handsome, his skin was fair and smooth, and his long hair hung down from the back of his head. He was like a woman, giving off a demonic feeling.
The red robed man's eyes flashed with a strange light, but in the blink of an eye, his gaze swept past the Black Costume Old Woman who was closest to him, and landed on the purple-clothed woman and the red-dressed girl behind her. He said with a smile, "Ladies, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
"Yang Chen, you really are a haunting ghost." The red dressed girl's face tensed up, and she was incomparably angry.
"Thank you for your praise, Lady Xiang Jun." Not only was the red robed man not angry, the smile on his face became even wider, "On this journey, the two ladies must be tired. Why don't you follow me back to Heaven's Will City? The Young City Lord is still waiting for the two ladies to return and complete their marriage!"
"Don't even think about it!" The girl in the red dress blushed.
"We will never go back with you!" The purple-clothed woman's face was ice-cold.
"Misses, you two leave first. Let this old one stop him!" The black clothed old woman's face was calm as she shouted in a low voice. Her brows were filled with seriousness.
"Go?"
A strange smile appeared on Yang Chen's handsome face. "If the two ladies want to leave now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
The black-clothed old woman, the red-clothed young girl, and the purple-clothed woman seemed to have sensed something and abruptly turned around to look. Several hundred meters away, there were actually five figures that had quietly appeared. There were men and women, old and young, and they were dressed differently. However, the auras that lingered around their bodies were extremely tyrannical.
The five of them quickly surrounded him and completely sealed off the area. No matter which direction he escaped in, he would not be able to avoid their interception.
The three of them realized the seriousness of the situation, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Yang Chen, so what if you have the advantage in numbers?"
The purple-clothed woman sneered as a look of determination flashed across her eyes. "Even if we sisters follow you back to Heaven's Will City, we will only be two corpses!"
"That's right. At worst, we'll just die!"
The girl in the red dress also coldly snorted.
Hearing the words of the two, a trace of sorrow flashed across the eyes of the black-clothed old woman. However, she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Young misses, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will still protect you all!" As she finished speaking, a hint of ruthlessness surfaced between her brows.
"Die?"
However, Yang Chen ignored the black-clothed old woman. His gaze first swept across the purple-clothed woman and the red-dressed girl, then he smiled indifferently and said, "The woman that the Young City Lord has his eyes on, is not someone who can die just because he wants to. As long as I'm here, even if you die, I can still save you!"
"You …"
The girl in the red dress was so angry that her delicate body trembled.
However, before she could finish her sentence, a light sigh rang out without any warning. "In front of a beauty, you actually don't know how to show mercy to the fairer sex. What a spoilsport!" This voice was faintly discernible and indistinct, making it difficult for people to tell where it came from.
"Who?"
Yang Chen's expression changed slightly. His gaze quickly swept across the area, and his gaze instantly became sharp. It was as sharp as a blade, as if it could cut through space itself.
The purple-clothed woman, the red-dressed girl, and the black-clothed old woman were also shocked. Other than them, there were only Yang Chen and the five people behind him, but they did not know where that person was hiding. If he did not speak, no one would know that there was a tenth person here!
The five cultivators behind them were also somewhat bewildered as they looked around.
"I'm in your hands!" The voice rang out again.
"What?"
Yang Chen's pupils constricted as he exclaimed.
Immediately after, not only did his gaze fall on the scroll in his hand, the purple-clothed woman and the other two also looked at his right hand. They had originally thought that the spatial artifact was an ownerless object, but they did not expect that not only did it have a master, its master was also inside the spatial artifact.
"Hu!"
After a split-second, Yang Chen felt an almost irresistible force roar out from the scroll. Immediately, his palm, and even his entire right arm, became numb, and he involuntarily loosened his five fingers. This sudden turn of events caused Yang Chen's heart to sink, and he suddenly retreated more than ten meters.
The scroll unfurled at a moderate pace, revealing a landscape painting.
Immediately after, a figure flashed out from the scroll. It was a young man wearing a black robe. He had a slender body and was extremely handsome.
"Big Brother Tang Huan!"
"Tang Huan!"
"..."
The moment they saw the black-clothed man, the purple-clothed woman and the red-dressed girl were stunned for a moment. However, in an instant, the red-dressed girl cheered out in joy, and the purple-clothed woman also cried out in surprise. Her ice-cold eyes couldn't help but reveal a faint look of joy.
What was even more strange was that not only did the two of them recognize the black-clothed man's identity, the five people behind them also cried out at the same time. As for the black-clothed old woman, a look of doubt surfaced on her aged face. As for Yang Chen, his expression was also somewhat unsettled.
"Lady Xiang Jun, Lady Shi Jun, how have you been?"
Looking at the pair of sisters in front of him who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, Tang Huan could not help but sigh in his heart.
They were Li Shijun and Li Xiang Jun. It had been many years since they parted ways in the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm".
Back then, Li Xiang Jun was only a sixteen or seventeen year old little girl. Although she was naive and innocent, her cultivation was extremely strong. After so many years, she still looked no different from a young girl, but her cultivation had already reached the Void Transformation Stage. Her sister, Li Shi Jun, was also at the Void Transformation Stage, and her face was still very young. However, the aura that she naturally exuded from her body that prevented others from entering became even stronger.
