694: Chapter 694 It was all an accident!

"Yun'er... you're right!"

Meng Shuyan nodded slightly, then her fair hand gripped Su Yun's arm even tighter.

The two stayed close together as they continued flying forward.

They narrowly avoided many areas where fog appeared.

Another half hour passed.

"The fog nearby has suddenly become much thicker!"

Meng Shuyan knitted her willow-leaf eyebrows and murmured softly.

At this moment, she was flying much slower than before, afraid that a single careless move would cause them to plunge straight into the fog.

A moment later, Meng Shuyan turned her head, feeling somewhat uneasy, and whispered softly into Su Yun's ear:

"Yun'er, we need to be even more careful here!"

"Revered Master, I know! You don't need to worry so much!"

Su Yun felt a bit helpless, but also felt a warmth in his heart.

Revered Master truly cared for him so much!

She had been holding his arm like this while flying for several hours, treating him as if he were a low-level Cultivator who could encounter danger at any moment.

Moreover, he didn't even need to fly himself; he was being carried by her.

He even suspected that if the situation weren't inappropriate, Revered Master would probably be carrying him in her arms while traveling!

"That won't do. The fog here is even denser than in the previous areas; we must be extra careful!"

Meng Shuyan shook her head, her tone firm and unquestionable.

"Alright, Revered Master, as long as you like it!"

After Su Yun finished speaking, he continued to observe his surroundings.

Because the fog here was too dense, he couldn't use his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings and could only observe with his naked eyes.

Not long after, Su Yun's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze fixed straight in one direction.

If it were any other Cultivator, they probably wouldn't be able to see clearly.

But because he possessed the Eye of Sealing, his vision was extremely formidable even without using any Spell.

At this moment, Su Yun's line of sight seemed to pierce through layers of fog, looking towards the land in the distance.

He saw a black line appearing on the ground there, extending straight up into the sky.

Seeing this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He gently tugged on Meng Shuyan's soft, boneless arm and spoke directly:

"Revered Master, stop for a moment! Perhaps I have already found the entrance to the next trial!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shuyan's delicate body stiffened instantly, and she came to an abrupt halt.

Her beautiful eyes fluttered, and she looked straight at him, "Really? Yun'er?"

"Revered Master, look over there!"

Su Yun extended his hand, pointing into the distance.

"Hmm... I don't see anything! Perhaps it's because of this fog!"

Meng Shuyan raised her eyes to look into the distance, then pursed her red lips and sighed slightly.

"This fog not only blocks my vision but also my Divine Sense and detection Spell!"

Su Yun: "It's fine, Revered Master. We'll be able to see it once we fly a bit closer!"

"Mm-hmm!" Meng Shuyan immediately pulled him and flew toward that direction.

Soon, after bypassing the areas with thick fog, the scene before them suddenly cleared up.

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes widened as she looked around.

She discovered that the fog nearby was very thin, unlike before where they would encounter layers of fog after just flying a short distance.

Besides the change in fog, Meng Shuyan also clearly saw a shocking scene.

Thousands of miles away, a deep black road rose from the ground, shooting straight into the clouds and extending up to the Nine Heavens.

Every step on it was faintly surrounded by rings of nine-colored Dao ripples, looking incredibly profound.

"Yun'er, is that what you were talking about?"

Meng Shuyan reached out with her slender, jade-like finger, pointing toward the heaven-reaching road in the distance.

"That's right. I believe that by following the steps on that road and walking to its end, we should be able to leave this space and enter the next trial!"

Su Yun nodded and said directly.

"However, this is just my guess. As for the specifics, we'll know once we go over and take a look!"

Meng Shuyan: "That makes sense! Let's head over quickly!"

"Wait a moment, Revered Master! The fog here is very thin, not as dangerous as before! You don't need to hold my arm anymore, right?"

Su Yun took the opportunity to suggest.

Although it felt comfortable, he didn't need to be protected by Revered Master all the time.

In terms of direct strength, he was currently inferior to Revered Master.

But when it came to trump cards for self-preservation, he had too many; Revered Master might not be able to compare to him.

A faint blush appeared on Meng Shuyan's pretty face. She hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing, "Alright, Yun'er!"

Immediately, she released her fair hand.

In that instant, she felt a sense of reluctance. After all, the warm aura from his body had also left her.

"Let's go, Revered Master!"

Su Yun smiled and turned into a streak of white light, flying in front.

Meng Shuyan moved her lotus steps lightly, turning into a colorful stream of light to follow behind him.

But after flying only a thousand miles, Su Yun stopped, looked in a certain direction, furrowed his brows, and his expression became serious.

Seeing this, Meng Shuyan also stopped beside him, hovering in mid-air.

"Revered Master, there seems to be someone ahead!"

Su Yun concealed his aura as he spoke.

Meng Shuyan tacitly concealed her aura as well.

However, a look of shock flashed across her pretty face. She followed his line of sight to look somewhere, "I didn't expect that someone would arrive here even faster than us?"

Su Yun: "Tsk tsk tsk~ It really is him!"

"Yun'er, you know him?" Meng Shuyan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I know him; he counts as an old acquaintance!"

Su Yun's tone was somewhat subtle.

Wasn't he an old acquaintance? A gray robe. Judging by his back, he was a young man.

He didn't need to probe to guess that the person was Ye Xuan.

Only the protagonist could arrive here so quickly. After all, he's basically cheating! It's not strange!

As for other Cultivators, even if they could pass through the layers of fog, who knows when they would arrive here! And that's not even guaranteed!

Previously, on the road, Su Yun had encountered quite a few powerhouses from other factions. None of them survived. He had witnessed with his own eyes how they were swallowed by the fog, leaving not even a scrap behind.

"An acquaintance? A male Cultivator? Yun'er, you have acquaintances who are male Cultivators?"

Meng Shuyan looked at him suspiciously, raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, and thought of the scenes she had previously detected using her Spell, her tone somewhat resentful.

"Why have I never heard of this? Yun'er~ aren't all your acquaintances female Cultivators?"

"Cough, cough, Revered Master, don't talk nonsense! I don't have any!"

Su Yun's face showed an awkward expression, and he quickly denied it.

How could he not have male acquaintances he was familiar with? There were many, okay!

For example... uh! He really couldn't name a few!

Revered Master didn't seem to be wrong!

However, it wasn't intentional!

It could only be said that it was all unknowingly; in order to deal with those protagonists, he had accidentally encountered the female protagonists.

That was why their figures often appeared by his side. Afterward, they naturally became familiar with each other. In the end... well, let's not mention that...

In short, it was all an accident!
