A peerless figure in a purple robe and Crane Cloak appeared before them, three thousand strands of white hair floating wildly behind! The two masked men looked at the extremely fast, yet destructive Sword Qi. Waving their hands, a wave of black Evil Qi instantly intercepted them, and they rapidly retreated. The heavens and earth resonated as the terrifying collision of Spiritual Energy instantly shattered this part of the world. Under the immense pressure, everything around them began to slowly sink! "BOOM!" A horrific explosion sounded, dust scattered in all directions, followed by a sky filled with a sea of clouds, ice, and snow, freezing the entire canopy of heaven! Dan Wulan’s expression was glacial as she surveyed the scene. She gazed at the Sword Sect Disciple who had suffered a gruesome death. Though she couldn’t recall his name, his face was familiar. Her voice, laced with frost, addressed the two men before her, "Sword Sect! I need an explanation!" As the dust settled, the two masked men reappeared unharmed in their original spot. Their eyes betrayed a trace of shock. They exchanged a glance, their voices hoarse as one of them slowly said, "We didn’t expect Miss Dan to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation?" "For someone of your age to advance to the Mid Stage of Refining Void, few in the entire Twenty-One Provinces can achieve it." "Even among us, it’s doubtful any could confidently claim to be a match for Miss Dan." "However... now that you have seen this." Under the mask, the man licked his dry lips, then continued in a chilling voice, "Then I’m afraid we can’t let you leave, Miss Dan!" "Today, you will stay here!" The masked man sneered, and infinite black Evil Qi burst forth from his body, his aura soaring dramatically. Instantly, two auras, distinct from the Spiritual Energy commonly cultivated in the Twenty-One Provinces, surged and billowed powerfully, filling the space between heaven and earth. Then, these two indescribably malevolent auras merged into one, instantly blasting towards Dan Wulan. Dan Wulan’s pupils contracted instantly. Two cultivators at the Late Stage of Refining Void! Only an aura of that level could affect her so! Without a moment to ponder, faced with these strange and indescribable blasts of Evil Qi, Dan Wulan instantly mobilized all the Spiritual Energy within her! High above, the clouds roiled and churned as the Cloud Sea aura billowed like a turbulent ocean! A sky brimming with frost and snow materialized. After a moment of silence, the Sword Qi in Dan Wulan’s hand erupted, shooting straight towards Ursa Major. Subsequently, two majestic streams of blue-purple frost and snow transformed into flowing light, spiraling around her and coiling about her sword! "Cloud Sea Seven Styles, Unification!" "Hold on!" Dan Wulan bit down hard on her silver teeth and shouted. Her eyes fixed intently on a silver badge hanging from one masked man’s waist, seemingly engraved with a ring-like symbol, memorizing its appearance. The disciples of the Sword Sect must not die in vain; I must know who the killer is! —In her several hundred years on the Immortal path, Dan Wulan had never seen such a terrifying method, someone capable of forcibly extracting another’s Gifted Constitution! What was hidden behind this? Her stumbling upon this meant the Sword Sect disciple was definitely not the first, and certainly not the last! "BOOM!" A terrifying surge of Spiritual Energy instantly sent Dan Wulan flying backward. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and she felt a terrible, indescribable force rampaging within her! I have to escape, quickly! I have to tell Eldest Senior Sister everything I’ve witnessed and bring it to public attention! Dan Wulan was confident she could face any single Late Stage Refining Void cultivator without disadvantage. But the situation before her was far more complex than a simple one-plus-one-equals-two equation. With the seamless coordination of two Late Stage Refining Void cultivators, the entire world seemed to be sealed by an oppressive canopy of black Evil Qi, leaving her no escape. Dan Wulan bit her lip so hard that she drew blood. In the winter, above the boundless sky, endless dark clouds finally brought forth rain, which then turned into slow-falling snowflakes, gently landing on the desolate land battered by the terrifying aftermath. "Aren’t you afraid of the Sacred Land by doing this?" Dan Wulan swung her sword with all her might. The two streams of Evil Qi before her dispersed like smoke as she forcibly suppressed the boiling blood in her veins and questioned loudly. Across the entire Twenty-One Provinces, while not among the absolute top echelons of power, a Refining Void cultivator could certainly dominate a region. Yet, why would two such cultivators, wielding completely different Evil Qi she had never seen before, suddenly appear with such premeditation? "Sacred Land?" The two masked men exchanged a look and then burst into loud laughter. Suddenly, with a grim look in their eyes, one said to Dan Wulan in a chilling voice, "Of course, we’re afraid!" "But it’s precisely because we’re afraid of the Sacred Land that we absolutely cannot let you live, Miss Dan!" "..." The next moment, one of the masked men lunged forward. The situation changed so rapidly that even Dan Wulan couldn’t react in time! "BOOM!" Two terrifying clumps of Evil Qi struck Dan Wulan’s body with devastating force. Blood instantly spilled from the corners of her tightly clenched mouth, staining her pale red lips a deeper crimson. Then, a warm mouthful of blood spattered onto the snow-white Crane Cloak draped over her, like scattered plum blossoms on snow. Dan Wulan could smell the faint, dry scent on it—a scent she knew well. Her lips pursed slightly as blood continued to soak through. The strands of Cloud Sea Sword Aura around her body gradually dissipated, bit by bit. It hurt so much! Pain that seared to the bone and pierced the heart! Dan Wulan could feel her meridians being ravaged by the terrifying Evil Qi; it even felt as if the very essence of her Gifted Constitution was being stripped away! Suppressing the shock in her heart, Dan Wulan mobilized all her remaining Spiritual Energy. Unsure of the exact direction but sensing a momentary weakness in the two men’s assault, she thrust her sword out powerfully. And then she unleashed another sword strike! It was the most devastating sword strike Dan Wulan could currently muster! It was also the first time she had used this strike since breaking through to the Mid Stage of Refining Void. "Cloud Sea Seven Styles, Transcend the Mundane." One sword wave followed another. Countless streams of Sword Qi coalesced with the initial strike, surging towards the two masked men like a ferocious sword dragon—a truly magnificent spectacle! Her three thousand strands of silver-white hair fanned out around her. Dan Wulan then pushed the last vestiges of Spiritual Energy within her to their absolute limit, dashing with all her might in a single direction. The two men reacted instantly. The sight that met them was a ferocious dragon’s head rapidly enlarging before their eyes. One of them immediately shouted, "You go after her!" "We absolutely cannot let her escape!" "..." Two esteemed Late Stage Refining Void experts, both possessing Evil Qi that inherently suppressed Spiritual Energy, were ganging up on someone who had seemingly just entered the Mid Stage of Refining Void. How could they possibly let her escape? Impossible! Exchanging a glance, one of the masked men waved his wide sleeve downwards, his palm meeting the full force of Dan Wulan’s desperate Sword Qi. The other masked man instantly gave chase once again. Snowflakes fell onto the ground and onto Dan Wulan’s body, as if washing away all the dust of the world. Winter wind, winter snow, winter kill! Sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating Dan Wulan’s smooth, jade-like forehead, her delicate, shapely nose, and her blood-stained crimson lips. She absolutely couldn’t die! She didn’t want to die! She had not truly bested Dan Wuque yet. The silk carp she bought were still with Xiao Ruoching... She... she still hadn’t told him how she felt. An image involuntarily surfaced in Dan Wulan’s mind: a man who always seemed lazy and unhurried, yet always looked at her with a smile. That feeling she had for him... it was fondness, wasn’t it? And what about her Senior Brother? Did he feel the same way? After all, she had carefully confirmed it herself; he had once said that in his heart, he was proud to have a Junior Sister like her. —He even remembered shaking that peach blossom tree for her! There were so many things she still had to do! Dan Wulan desperately squeezed out the last dregs of Spiritual Energy from within her, feeling the pursuing Evil Qi drawing ever nearer. The wind was strong, making her eyes sting. Dan Wulan blinked. In the deepening haze of her consciousness, she seemed to see that familiar figure in white. She could faintly hear his voice... or so she thought. It was as if he were standing not far away... smiling... smiling at her?
