The black-clad woman's figure paused slightly, not turning back or speaking, but the aura around her clearly became more dominant. And it all pressed towards Long Qiushui and Huang Wushuang.

Like a huge wave, overwhelmingly engulfing everything!

Hiss!

Both of them couldn't help but draw in a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with shock.

This aura was simply too strong!

It made their legs go weak, almost giving them the impetus to kneel in worship.

"What... what do you want to do?" Long Qiushui gritted his teeth, straining to keep himself steadily standing there, and asked aloud.

The black-clad woman didn't answer and kept walking forward. She didn't pay any attention to Long Qiushui, completely disregarding him.

Long Qiushui was furious inside, being looked down upon time and again, and moreover by women. It caused his heart to churn incessantly, even giving him the urge to retreat and make a break for the Emperor Realm, but in the end, he calmed down. He hadn't yet found the opportunity that belonged to him. When the opportunity came, the breakthrough would naturally follow.

On this heavenly road, there wasn't much point in forcing things.

Because their goals were not just to step into the Emperor Realm, but to reach even greater heights.

Long Qiushui glanced at Huang Wushuang.

Huang Wushuang said in a low voice, "Let's go up too!"

Kong Hongyi thought for a moment and followed the black-clad woman, heading up the mountain.

Whether one could attain it was one matter, but one couldn't just watch others go up and remain indifferent themselves.

Lu Hongxue called out to Xuan'er and Xuanxuan, then looked at Yiyi, "Together?"

Yiyi shook her head, "You go ahead, I'll wait here for a bit."

Sweat lines appeared on Lu Hongxue's forehead as she looked at Yiyi, "Are you really waiting for Chu Mo?"

"Yes!" Yiyi nodded as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Others aren't worth waiting for! Hee hee... you go on up."

Lu Hongxue shook her head and then, leading Xuan'er and Xuanxuan, walked towards the peak of Nameless Mountain.

The other five or six young cultivators who had remained silent from the very beginning also didn't move, quietly standing there, as if waiting for something.

Yiyi initially didn't pay much attention to those few people, but seeing the others going up the mountain while these few didn't budge, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked one of them, "Why aren't you going up?"

The person gave a sinister smile, "Isn't the great Lady Yiyi also not going up?"

Yiyi frowned slightly, sensing something was off.

At that moment, the other few people exchanged glances and slowly circled around towards Yiyi.

Yiyi stood there motionlessly, her voice turning cold, "Are you here waiting for Chu Mo?"

The few young cultivators couldn't help but look at each other, disbelief and surprise apparent in their eyes.

"Tssts... Lady Yiyi is truly intelligent. I've only heard of your grace and hadn't seen it, but now that I have, I find that seeing you is even better than the rumors!" The young cultivator leading them was dressed in an ordinary gray daoist robe, his hair casually tied up, carrying a precious sword on his back, handsome in appearance.

In fact, in the Cultivation Realm, there are rarely people who are unsightly. Because every time they make a breakthrough in a major realm, they get a chance to change their appearance. Of course, many people don't give up the looks inherited from their parents and won't use realm advancement to change their appearance.

Such small daoists, if seen elsewhere, at most one would silently praise their appearance in their hearts. There would hardly be any other impression.

Yiyi was internally assessing the origins of the group of people and quickly came to a conclusion: they were all very ordinary!

That's right, just ordinary!

Whether handsome or average-looking, they were all very plain. They were the type that, if thrown into a crowd, would not attract any special attention.

But the fact that they could stand here already spoke volumes!

How could they possibly have broken through the defense line formed by the followers and family members of those young nobles without real strength? That defense line... for a younger noble all alone, it might even be impossible to break through.

Therefore, Yiyi didn't underestimate them at all just because they looked ordinary. The reason she had stayed was partly indeed to see if Chu Mo would come here, but on the other hand... it was because she sensed something off about these few people!

She certainly didn't want to do something, only to have a group suddenly plunge knives into her back.

What Yiyi hadn't expected was that these few people would simply surround her openly. It looked as though they wanted to make their move and take control of her.

"If you want to hit on me, this kind of approach certainly won't endear you to me," Yiyi said as she covertly activated seven or eight supreme instruments on her person, yet her face maintained an innocent expression, cutely looking at these few people.

"Since Lady Shui already has someone in her heart, who are we to steal love with a sword?" the young Taoist leading them said with a smile, but then he suddenly made his move!

When he didn't move, he remained still, but once he moved... it was like a thunderbolt!

A fierce true immortal aura suddenly erupted, and his aura became as sharp as a sword, incredibly fierce!

The instant he made his move, the other few also struck simultaneously, their attacks vicious and ruthless, showing no mercy because Yiyi was a stunningly beautiful woman.

They were here to kill!

The instant they made their move, Yiyi immediately called forth those seven or eight supreme instruments.

The supreme instruments thundered, emitted the profound sounds of the Great Dao, and burst forth with dazzling light. Instantly, two people were struck through the body.

Their attacks were sudden and sharp, catching people off guard; and weren't Yiyi's attacks equally unpredictable and indefensible? No one would ever expect a young Heavenly Genius to possess seven or eight supreme instruments. Moreover, Yiyi operated each of them as deftly as if they were parts of her own body, unleashing the greatest power of these supreme instruments within her current realm!

"This damn vixen!" The Taoist leader was flabbergasted, watching two of his companions get killed on the spot, unable to do anything. He let out a roar of grief and indignation and also sacrificed a supreme instrument, attacking even more fiercely, aiming to take Yiyi's life.

There were five people in that group, and after Yiyi had killed two, three were left, each possessing supreme dharma instruments.

At the foot of Nameless Mountain, an astonishing battle erupted.

Those who had made it halfway up the mountain all heard the noise below, and Lu Hongxue hesitated, wanting to turn back.

Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my aunt has a lot of treasures on her. With just those few people, it's impossible for them to harm her!"

Xuan'er hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Shall we go down and take a look?"

At that moment, Long Qiushui and Huang Wushuang had already climbed to a great height, while the woman in black had disappeared from their sight. At this point, the wind carrying the force of laws was incredibly terrifying, and all three had to sacrifice Emperor Realm instruments to defend themselves. If they gave up here, it was almost the same as giving up the contest for the gentiana.

Lu Hongxue was also very conflicted but eventually said, "If we can get the gentiana, we'll share a portion with her!"

Xuanxuan nodded, "I agree!"

Xuan'er thought about it and then said, "Alright. With my aunt's capability, she indeed shouldn't have too much difficulty."

Long Qiushui glanced at Huang Wushuang, "A fight has broken out below."

Huang Wushuang nodded her head, "I know, I guessed as much a moment ago."

"Huh?" Long Qiushui was a bit surprised.

Huang Wushuang said, "Those people, if my guess is right, are probably a group of assassins!"
