Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao both nodded, but the thought of holding onto a man made both of them feel a bit uncomfortable. As for Wen Guangun, he was already clinging tightly to Wen Qiao's shoulder like a small furball refusing to let go. The big furball remained in the space, while the small qilin, Qi Shengting, due to the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror, was hiding in Wen Qiao's consciousness ocean, sulking for the time being and unwilling to come out.

Pei Qiyu and Su Molan stood not far away, watching them.

Their expressions were somewhat complicated, but they had already said what needed to be said. At this moment of parting, they didn’t know what else to say, so they remained silent.

As Shi Wuming activated the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror, Wen Qiao turned her head and said to them, "Farewell, Young Master Pei, Miss Su!"

Her eyes curved slightly, revealing a cheerful and adorable smile. This girl, who usually liked to keep a cold face, was now smiling like this, showing just how happy she was to be returning to the Holy Martial Continent.

Naturally, Su Molan and Pei Qiyu wouldn’t dampen her spirits at this moment, so they both smiled in return.

"Take care!"

The Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror unleashed a blinding white light, so intense that it was nearly impossible to keep their eyes open. Fortunately, Ning Yuzhou had set up a concealment array beforehand, preventing any unwanted attention. Otherwise, the commotion caused by the activation of the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror would have attracted cultivators from thousands of miles away.

Pei Qiyu and Su Molan in the valley could barely keep their eyes open due to the intense light, and even their spiritual sense seemed to lose effectiveness for a moment.

It wasn’t until the white light disappeared that they opened their eyes again.

The spot where those people had been standing was now empty, and the entire valley was silent.

Su Molan felt a pang of emptiness, her gaze lingering on the spot where they had vanished.

A hand quietly pulled her finger. When she came to her senses and looked over, she saw the handsome man next to her, his expression gloomy, casually saying, "Once we reach the Yuanchuang stage, we can head to the Holy Martial Continent and look for them."

Su Molan was slightly startled, then quickly smiled.

She said, "Alright! But by the time we reach the Yuanchuang stage, they will probably have returned to the Primordial Continent. After all, their talents are exceptional, and their cultivation speed is fast. No continent can hold them back."

Pei Qiyu was rendered speechless.

Su Molan smiled at him again, her fingers lightly moving to interlock with his. As their fingers intertwined, she smiled softly and glanced down, while he tried to act nonchalant, though his gaze remained fixed ahead.

The two of them walked out of the valley hand in hand, moving at a leisurely pace like ordinary people, heading toward Seven Stars City...

——

As the white light enveloped their bodies, a powerful force pulled everyone into the spatial channel, and the familiar sensation of spatial compression began to press down on them.

A gentle, watery barrier surrounded them, deflecting the crushing spatial pressure and protecting them from harm.

Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao had suffered greatly when they were thrown into the spatial channel by the erratic Flow Cloud Immortal, with Wen Qiao sustaining particularly severe injuries. The body strength of lower realm cultivators simply couldn’t withstand spatial channel travel; only Yuan Saint Realm experts could briefly traverse spaces.

Without the protection of the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror, they would have been injured by the spatial compression, and even if it weren’t as severe as last time, it still wouldn’t have been pleasant.

Once the surrounding space stabilized, Shi Wuming said, "Don’t worry, when the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror transports us, the surrounding spatial channel is usually quite stable. Nothing will happen."

Ning Yuzhou asked, "How long until we reach the Holy Martial Continent?"

"It shouldn’t take too long," Shi Wuming said with a shrug. "But this is my first time using it, so I can’t be sure."

"Where on the Holy Martial Continent will we appear?" Wen Qiao asked curiously.

Shi Wuming shrugged. "I’m not sure. It all depends on where the last user set the landing point."

Seeing that he didn’t know anything, Wen Qiao couldn't help but say, "What good are you?"

Shi Wuming shamelessly said, "Come on, little sister Qiao, don't talk like that. Everyone has to start somewhere. After I go to more places in the future, there will be no problem. But don't worry, since someone has used the Bi Lin Shuttle Mirror to come to the Holy Martial Continent before, they probably chose a safe place to land, so it should be fine."

After an unknown amount of time, the familiar pulling force appeared again.

Everyone understood that they were about to reach their destination and were about to leave the spatial tunnel, so they instinctively relaxed, letting the force pull them out.

As they left the dimensional passage and before they touched the ground, a bone-chilling, malevolent aura surged toward them.

Wen Qiao reacted quickly, flipping her body to stabilize herself, summoning her flying sword to catch herself, and reaching out to grab Ning Yuzhou.

Wen Tuti also grabbed Ning Yuzhou from the other side, and the three of them landed smoothly.

Only Shi Wuming screamed as he fell from above.

Boom! Shi Wuming crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

As soon as Wen Qiao and the others landed, they felt a bone-chilling sense of danger. The cold, murderous aura, filled with malice, rushed towards them. Without hesitation, Wen Qiao unleashed a Diamond Talisman.

Ah——

An eerie, unseen scream echoed, as if their spiritual sea had been shaken.

Wen Qiao looked closely and realized they had appeared in an enclosed space. All around them floated gray, dark energies. These energies had coalesced into a formidable presence, each with its own consciousness. Sensing the presence of life, they lunged forward with terrifying speed.

Wen Qiao immediately threw out a stack of Diamond Talismans at the dark entities.

Shi Wuming's screams abruptly silenced, and Wen Qiao and the others looked over to see Shi Wuming surrounded by countless dark entities, already submerged, with no sign of him visible.

Wen Tuti muttered a few words and threw out a stack of Diamond Talismans, smashing the malevolent forces aside, revealing Shi Wuming, his face pale and drained.

Shi Wuming, barely breathing, was dragged over by Wen Tuti. His face was deathly pale, his eyes vacant, and his body cold as ice, looking as if his very life force had been sucked dry by some unseen entity.
