There was actually no suspense in this battle.
The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.
Among the three young men and women, the strongest was only at Lv 9 True Element Boundary, and the weakest, Gui Xinmeng, was only at Lv 7 True Element Boundary.
With such strength and age, he was not weak in the outside world. He was definitely a genius among the younger generation. Even if he was compared to some sect geniuses, he was not inferior.
But…this was the Yellow Sand Mountain Range.
The bandits surrounding them were all Spirit Severing cultivators.
"Damn it! These bastards!"
Gui Xinmeng's beautiful eyes were red. She felt despair, but even more so, humiliation!
With the strength of this group of bandits, it would be easy for them to kill the three of them.
But there was no such thing!
This group of bandits surrounding them was planning to play them to death! Tortured to death!
"Roar!"
Just as the bandits were having fun, a loud cry came from the distant sky.
This cry alarmed many people in the area, including Gui Xinmeng and the other two as well as the bandits who were surrounding them.
Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice.
In the sky not far away, a fiery red shadow was flying over. As the shadow got closer and closer, everyone finally saw its true appearance!
This was…a flying demonic beast!
Those with discerning eyes recognized the origin of this demonic beast at a glance!
"Scarlet Flame Sparrow! Moreover, it was an adult Scarlet Flame Sparrow!”
"There…seems to be someone standing there!"
"Stop!"
The leader gave the order, and the bandits who were surrounding Gui Xinmeng and the other two immediately stopped what they were doing.
In this world, there were too many people with strange tempers. No one could guarantee that the person on the Scarlet Flame Sparrow would act up and do something righteous. Therefore, it was definitely not wrong to be careful. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Anyway, these three people couldn't escape. It wouldn't be too late to kill them after the Scarlet Flame Sparrow passed.
However, just as everyone thought that the Scarlet Flame Sparrow would directly fly over, its flapping wings suddenly slowed down. Then, under the shocked gazes of the bandits and Gui Xinmeng, it landed on the ground!
The bandits were dumbfounded, and so were Gui Xinmeng and the others.
"You three, come up."
The Scarlet Flame Sparrow landed on the ground, and Xuan Yi's voice was heard.
"Sister Heart's Dream! Come up quickly!"
Gui Yiyi jumped out from behind Xuan Yi and waved at Gui Xinmeng.
"Yiyi! Why is it you?"
Gui Xinmeng's mouth was slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief.
She could not link this Scarlet Flame Sparrow to Gui Yiyi and the others.
After all these years of adventuring with her master, Gui Xinmeng's horizons were naturally not bad.
The Scarlet Flame Sparrow, especially an adult Scarlet Flame Sparrow, was an existence whose strength was comparable to his master! Her heart was filled with doubts, but Gui Xinmeng knew that now was not the time to ask such questions.
"Senior brothers and sisters, hurry up. They are my clansmen.”
"Clansmen?"
Gui Xinmeng's two senior brothers and sisters were also shocked.
They knew a little about Gui Xinmeng's background.
It was said that it was only a small clan, and the Patriarch was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Severing Stage.
Could it be that Gui Xinmeng had been lying to them? Gui Xinmeng actually came from a powerful family?
No, that was impossible. Gui Xinmeng had no reason to lie to them.
And from Gui Xinmeng's expression, she seemed to be filled with confusion.
The three of them got on the Scarlet Flame Sparrow. The Scarlet Flame Sparrow flapped its wings and turned into a fiery red flying shadow that soared into the sky.
From the beginning to the end, Xuan Yi ignored the bandits as if they didn't exist at all.
That group of bandits didn't make a sound from beginning to end.
It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they didn't dare!
When the Scarlet Flaming Sparrow disappeared into the horizon, the bandits finally came back to their senses. They touched their necks and found that their bodies were drenched in sweat.
"That was close…"
The leader of the bandits was pale. He had obviously been frightened.
At the same time, they were very glad that that person did not kill them.
" Sister Heart's Dream, where have you been all these years? You didn't contact the family, so we thought…" Gui Yiyi asked impatiently.
"I…was captured." Gui Xinmeng looked a little embarrassed.
"Captured? Who?" Gui Yiyi and the others were stunned.
"My master…"
After some explanation, everyone finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that three years ago, when Gui Xinmeng was on her way back to Half Moon City, she met a strange woman. Without saying a word, she knocked Gui Xinmeng unconscious.
This strange person was none other than Gui Xinmeng's current master. She was a very powerful but eccentric woman.
" If he wants to take you as a disciple, then so be it. Why would he knock you unconscious and take you away…" Gui Yiyi couldn't help but say. This Gui Xinmeng's master was too weird.
From Gui Xinmeng's explanation, Gui Yiyi learned that Gui Xinmeng's master was an expert at the peak of the eighth level of the Spirit Severing Stage. With her strength, if she wanted to take Gui Xinmeng as her disciple, she could have just said so. It was almost impossible for Gui Xinmeng to refuse, so why did she have to use such a method…?
"This…I don't know either. It's not just me, Senior Martial Brother Ye and Senior Martial Sister Huang also…entered Master's tutelage this way.”
"However, although Master is very strict and his personality is somewhat unpredictable, he is still very good to us.”
"It's not that I don't want to keep in touch with the clan all these years, but Master forbids it. She said that she would only allow us to return to the clan after we broke through to the Spirit Severing stage.”
"Big sister Heart's Dream, you…are already in the Spirit Severing stage?”
Mystic One and the Second Elder had seen through the strength of Gui Xinmeng's group of three with a single glance, but Gui Yiyi and the other juniors were weaker, so they couldn't see anything. When they heard Gui Xinmeng say this, they thought that Gui Xinmeng had already broken through to the Spirit Severing stage.
Looking at the shocked gazes of Gui Yiyi and Gui Lan, Gui Xinmeng shook her head with a bitter smile and said,"How is that possible? It's not that easy to break through to the Spirit Severing Realm. I'm only at the seventh tier of the True Element Boundary.”
" True Element Boundary…Seventh Tier…"
Although he wasn't in the Spirit Severing Stage, his strength at the seventh tier of the True Element Boundary still shocked the Gui Clan juniors.
Although Gui Yiyi was older than them, she was not much older. At such a young age, she was already at the seventh stage of the True Element Realm…This kind of talent was not inferior to those geniuses of the younger generation who were famous in Zhennan Province.
"But you haven't broken through to the Spirit Severing stage yet. Big sis Heart's Dream, how did you come back?”Gui Yiyi was puzzled.
"Originally, that was indeed the case. However, a few days ago, something seemed to have happened. Master suddenly agreed to let me return to the clan.”Gui Xinmeng shook her head.
Xuan Yi listened on the side and understood.
If he guessed correctly, it should be related to the Purple Moon Mystic Realm that was about to open.
"Sister Heart's Dream, where's your master?"
"When Master returned to Zhennan Province, she said that she had something to do, so she parted ways with us. She told us to wait for her in Half Moon City. After she was done with her matters, she would go to Half Moon City to meet us.”
"Don't just ask me, Yiyi. You have to explain to me what's going on with this Scarlet Flame Sparrow.”
Regarding this, Gui Xinmeng wasn't just confused, she was shocked.
This was an adult Scarlet Flame Sparrow!
A mature Scarlet Flame Sparrow was at least at the seventh level of the Spirit Severing Stage.
After all, her Master…was only at the eighth level of the Spirit Severing Stage…
"Master gave this to me." Gui Yiyi blushed and looked at Xuan Yi in embarrassment.
"Master?"
Gui Xinmeng's mouth was slightly agape. Not only him, but even her Senior Martial Brother Ye and Senior Martial Sister Huang were also looking at Xuan Yi in shock…
No wonder they were so shocked. Gui Yiyi's words were really too out of their expectations.
They had thought that Xuan Yi was a friend of Gui Yiyi, but she was actually Gui Yiyi's master.
He was too young…
It looked like he was only about the same age as Brother Ye…
Looking at Gui Xinmeng's shocked expression, Gui Yiyi quickly told Gui Yiyi the whole story.
The more they heard, the more shocked Gui Xinmeng and the other two became.
When he learned that Xuan Yi was not only an elder of the Profound Sword Sect but also a Pioneer Sea Realm expert, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
Pioneer Sea Realm experts.
This young man, who looked to be not much older than Senior Brother Ye, was actually a Pioneer Sea Realm expert!
Gui Xinmeng and the other two knew very well what a Pioneer Sea Realm expert was.
That was an existence that even their master had to be respectful to!
Previously, when Gui Yiyi mentioned the Duan family's sudden attack, she was still a little worried.
He wasn't worried about Duan Li's master.
Her master was still able to deal with a peak Eighth Level Spirit Severing cultivator.
However, the Withered Tree Sect behind that person was a little troublesome.
It would be fine if the Withered Tree Sect behind that person didn't participate. Once they did, even her master wouldn't be able to do anything.
When she learned that Gui Yiyi had not only become a disciple of the Profound Sword Sect, but had also taken a Pioneer Sea Realm expert as her master, Gui Xinmeng was both shocked and relieved.
With Xuan Yi around, not to mention Duan Li's master, even if the Withered Tree Sect behind them came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to the Gui Family!
"Let's find a place to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow.”
After flying away from the Yellow Sand Mountain Range without any obstructions, Xuan Yi glanced at the setting sun in the sky and slowly spoke.
For Mystic One, it didn't matter whether he rested or not. As a Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator, he wouldn't feel sleepy even if he didn't sleep or eat for a few days, but Gui Yiyi and the others couldn't.
"I'll listen to Elder Xuan." Naturally, the crowd had no meaning.
After a day of traveling, her mind was more or less exhausted. Gui Yiyi's stomach had long been rumbling, but she had been too embarrassed to speak.
……
Chaos City.
It was the only city in this region.
Chaos City, as its name implied, was a place of chaos.
Because it was close to the Gloom Forest and the Yellow Sand Mountains, there were all kinds of people, mercenaries, adventurers, fugitives, and so on. In short, this was a chaotic and ungoverned city.
There were no rules in the city, and the forces were complicated. Here, whoever had the biggest fist was the one who made the right decision.
By the time Mystic One and the others arrived, the sky had already turned completely dark.
In order not to attract attention, the Scarlet Flame Sparrow turned into a mark and imprinted itself on Gui Yiyi's glabella.
When they entered the city, Gui Yiyi and the others could clearly see the unscrupulous gazes of the people around them.
Gui Yiyi and the others were a little nervous. Mystic One, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and ignored the gazes around her.
This was actually related to strength.
To the weak, any place was filled with danger.
To the strong, as long as you were strong enough, any place would be your backyard.
After finding an inn to stay in, Xuan Yi walked alone on the streets of Chaos City.
When he entered the city, he heard many people discussing that a large-scale auction was being held in Chaos City, and there were many good things there.
Since she had nothing better to do, Xuan Yi decided to go and take a look. Perhaps there really was something good there.
As for Gui Yiyi and the others, Xuan Yi wasn't too worried.
Not to mention the Scarlet Sparrow, Mystic One had also left a mark on Gui Yiyi's body. If there was any danger, Mystic One would be able to sense it instantly.
The auction house was located in the center of the city. When Xuan Yi arrived, the auction had already begun.
Since they dared to open an auction house in Chaos City, it was obvious that this auction house was not simple. It was said that behind this auction house stood a peak seventh level Spirit Severing cultivator! It was one of the strongest factions in Chaos City.
