717: witness

Dan Domain.

South of the Five Spirits Continent, the territory of the Dan Sect.

At this moment, in a clear sky stretching for ten thousand li, large patches of dark clouds suddenly gathered as space fluctuated and twisted.

As a pitch-black spatial tunnel appeared amidst flashes of lightning, a slender jade-like foot slowly stepped out.

Standing in the void, Kongtong Frost Snow's narrow, vermilion beautiful eyes, filled with nobility and coldness, crossed the endless void and landed inside the Dan Sect!

Instantly.

Inside the Dan Sect, the Half-step Divine Transformation Realm Old Ancestor, who was originally lying in his coffin waiting for death, felt his heart skip a beat.

This overwhelming Aura, a presence of the strongest, had arrived in their Dan Sect territory!

It also carried a thick layer of coldness that sent shivers down one's spine!

Almost instantly, the Dan Sect Old Ancestor violently pushed open his coffin lid, crawled out of the coffin in the Back Mountain, and transformed into a streak of light, arriving in a panic above the Dan Sect.

The Old Ancestor's commotion also alarmed some Nascent Soul Realm experts within the sect.

Sect Leader Wuwei Dan, seeing the Old Ancestor leap out of his coffin, immediately knew that something major must have happened!

Could it be that the Demon Sect stealing some of their pill reserves wasn't enough, and they were coming to wipe them out completely?!

With a heavy heart, Wuwei Dan also ascended into the void in the direction of the Old Ancestor.

As the clouds and mist before them parted.

The two Old men, who had some reputation in the Five Spirits Continent, clearly saw Kongtong Frost Snow, dressed in a vermilion robe, radiating endless nobility, standing in the void!

Kongtong Empress?!

Seeing the other party, Wuwei Dan and the Old Ancestor both breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this was one of their own.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The two Old men were quick to act, bowing in haste.

They also carried a hint of confusion in their hearts. The Kongtong Empress had already been here yesterday, why was she here again today?

It wasn't that Wuwei Dan didn't welcome her.

It was just that this Empress's Aura was too intense.

Accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger. Even when they lowered their stance, they still felt fearful, afraid of accidentally offending the other party and harming the entire Dan Sect.

Looking at the two Old men before her, Kongtong Frost Snow's tone was indifferent: "Wait here for me."

I'll settle accounts with you later!

The woman added this sentence in her heart.

She only wanted to see Lin Yun as soon as possible and had no time to waste on these two Old men.

Leaving these words, Kongtong Frost Snow directly swept towards the interior of the Dan Sect.

And watching the departing Kongtong Frost Snow, Wuwei Dan and the Dan Sect Old Ancestor exchanged glances.

"The Empress seems very angry?" The Old Ancestor was stronger and could sense the Aura emanating from Kongtong Frost Snow better than Wuwei Dan.

That icy Aura was exactly the same as when the other party first scanned the Dan Sect, making him feel a little fearful.

"I don't know who angered Your Majesty," Wuwei Dan said with confusion and unease.

...

Fenggang Mountain Range.

Gusts of fierce wind howled through the mountains and wilderness.

But when these wind gusts swept across a flat area, they seemed to be pushed aside by some force, dispersing slowly to both sides.

This was the protective shield formed by the Wind Manifestation Pill.

The pills refined by Alchemists weren't all meant to be consumed.

Many could also be used like Spiritual Artifacts.

For example, some pills were refined specifically to be used as explosive weapons against enemies, while others produced poisonous gas upon collision, and there was also the Wind Manifestation Pill placed between Lin Yun and Jiang Yurou at this moment.

They all belonged to that category of pills that could exert their power without being consumed.

"How is it? Is it tasty?" Jiang Yurou also held a bowl, watching Lin Yun eat his rice, a hint of shy smile occasionally flashing across her face.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking. Your skills are as good as ever." Lin Yun tasted this familiar yet unfamiliar flavor that he hadn't eaten in a hundred years, and his heart was filled with a sense of peace.

The feeling of being relaxed and at ease with his Junior Sister was infinitely better than being in that cold Imperial Palace.

"Here, Junior Sister, you try some." Lin Yun picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Jiang Yurou's bowl.

This action made the woman's ears turn red.

Eating together, picking food for each other, wasn't this something only Dao Companions did?

However, it seemed like she and Senior Brother Lin Yun had already confirmed their relationship after exchanging pills and sachets yesterday.

They just hadn't explicitly said it.

With a blush on her delicate cheeks, Jiang Yurou's lips curved into a happy expression: "Senior Brother, you eat too. This Cloud Rain Bamboo is very beneficial for restoring spiritual energy. You will have to endure the torment of the wind gusts day and night here in the future, so you will definitely consume a lot of spiritual power to resist the wind gusts. Therefore, you should eat more of this."

Saying this, the woman tucked the long hair in front of her proud chest and generously picked a large portion of the Cloud Rain Bamboo, one of the five medicinal herbs, for Lin Yun.

"That's too much, you eat some too." Lin Yun picked some for Jiang Yurou.

Looking at the dishes in her bowl that Lin Yun had picked for her, Jiang Yurou didn't eat, but held her bowl and started giggling foolishly, somewhat infatuated.

"What are you laughing at? You came without eating, aren't you hungry now?"

Jiang Yurou pursed her lips, and after a long while, she said with a slightly red-rimmed eye and a nasal voice: "It's so good."

Hearing these two words, Lin Yun paused slightly, thinking of the woman's and his own experiences in the previous life, and then looking at the present, he couldn't help but say with emotion: "Yes, it's really good."

Affectionately wiping away the tears from the woman's eyes, Lin Yun felt a sense of luck, like breaking free from a cage and seeing a new life.

At the same time.

At a corner of a cliff just over ten meters away from the two, a woman of peerless beauty was staring blankly at the scene before her.

Kongtong Frost Snow had been here for a while, but upon seeing that woman was also there, she did not reveal herself.

And seeing that man and that woman laughing and talking, eating together and picking food for each other, watching the man affectionately wipe away that woman's tears...

Instantly, Kongtong Frost Snow felt her heart suddenly suffer a heavy blow, as if it had been dug out and taken away, feeling empty and lost.

On her exquisite and majestic face, she revealed a look of dejection and listlessness that no one in the world had ever seen.

She had worried about that man, crossed the void and rushed here in a hurry, without a moment's rest, only to see such a scene?!

After a long while.

Kongtong Frost Snow finally recovered from this indescribable shock, her five fingers slightly clenched, making a cracking sound.

The heavy pressure around her even caused the wind gusts in the entire Fenggang Mountain Range to momentarily cease.

"What I want, no one can take away!" Muttering to herself, Kongtong Frost Snow flicked her sleeve and left in anger.
