"Hmm?"
When Gu Chen saw the message, his eyebrows instantly shot up, and as the qi within his body surged, it seemed as if the world itself trembled.
Then, in a flash, Gu Chen disappeared, leaving the City of Light to chase after Long Yi and his group.
...
On a vast plain in the celestial realm.
At this moment, two women were fleeing side by side, both of them breathtakingly beautiful. One of them had snow-white skin and ice-blue pupils that were crystal clear and devoid of any flaws, her features exquisitely perfect, like a celestial maiden from a world of ice and snow.
The other woman, dressed in imperial robes, exuded grace and dignity, her lively eyes sparkling, her black hair flowing like clouds, her features equally stunning—the Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.
"Qinyan, hurry, we’re only ten thousand miles away from the City of Light!" Princess Xidie urged with a solemn expression on her beautiful face.
Indeed, the woman of flawless beauty with snow-white skin was Gu Chen’s cousin—Gu Qingyan.
After some time apart, her appearance had undergone notable changes, all due to the growth of her Mystical Yin Body.
"Okay."
She nodded lightly, her voice calm. Even in a state of being pursued, she showed no panic and remained composed to the extreme.
Behind them, more than a dozen cultivators were in pursuit of the two women, among them five people of strange appearance, each with a third eye in the center of their foreheads.
The others were clad in red robes, their presence fiery, with a unique symbol on their chests—a divine furnace bathed in flames.
"Hand over the items, or face certain death!" called out one of the five men with a vertical eye between his brows. With a flick of his finger, a beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, shooting forth.
"Allow me."
Seeing this, Gu Qingyan’s brow furrowed slightly as she turned, and with a gentle raise of her hand, the temperature dropped precipitously all around, forming a thick shield of ice before them.
Clang!
The beam of light struck the shield, causing it to shatter into dense cracks, but ultimately, it held.
Princess Xidie let out a relieved sigh at the sight but remained vigilant as she rushed towards the City of Light.
Clearly, the two women had received the message and knew that Gu Chen was there.
"You can’t escape!"
A young man in a red robe snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a torrential sea of flames surged like a river, scorching half the sky as it enveloped Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie.
"I’ll handle this." At that moment, Princess Xidie took hold of Gu Qingyan, who was about to continue countering, and without hesitation, she called upon an innate spiritual treasure, transforming it into a barrier that protected them both.
Yet, because of this, the two groups pursuing them sped up, significantly closing the distance between them.
"Stop right there!"
Just then, a thunderous shout echoed through the heavens and earth as Long Yi and two others arrived in time.
"The Gemini Clan?" At this, someone among the two parties recognized Long Yi’s identity.
Princess Xidie’s face also brightened slightly upon seeing Yun Zishu and Zhen Yuan.
"The Three-Eyed God Clan and the Fire Sect?" Meanwhile, Yun Zishu, upon seeing the distinctive symbols of the two opposing groups, also had a slight shift in expression.
The former was among the top ten clans of the upper realm, while the latter was one of the Great Undying Dao Clan.
"Why would they join forces to pursue the two of you?" Yun Zishu approached Princess Xidie and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
Princess Xidie blinked her spiritual eyes and whispered, "Qinyan and I were adventuring together and discovered a strange place where we found some treasures. These scoundrels saw us as we emerged and have been relentless in their pursuit ever since."
Yun Zishu looked at Gu Qingyan with some surprise, as this was his first encounter with Gu Chen’s sister.
Moreover, it was quite astounding that the two women had met, and the news of their encounter made Long Yi and the others reflect on the unpredictability of the celestial realm.
After all, this was the celestial realm, where anything could happen under random teleportation.
"Who are you?" The people from the Three-Eyed God Clan and the Fire Sect became noticeably more cautious upon seeing Long Yi.
Clearly, they had heard of the reputation of the Gemini Clan.
Long Yi’s expression was neutral, and though the dozen or so people before him were formidable, none could match him.
Thus, he ignored them and stepped closer to Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie, speaking softly, "On the authority of Young Master Gu, I have come to escort you."
At this moment, the fame of Gu Chen had spread far in the celestial realm, so the two women were not strangers to Long Yi’s name.
But the group from the Three-Eyed God Clan and the Fire Sect furrowed their brows; they were keenly aware that many of the treasures were on the persons of Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie. It would be extremely hard for them to let go without a fight.
"Although you are the prodigy of the Gemini Clan from the last great epoch, neither the Three-Eyed God Clan nor the Fire Sect are to be trifled with. Out of respect for you, if they surrender the items, we’ll let all of you leave in peace," demanded a man from the Three-Eyed God Clan coldly.
Upon hearing this, Long Yi turned sharply, his aura overwhelmingly turbulent, stirring the very fabric of the heavens and earth as he declared, "Leave now, or die!"
As a preeminent paragon, these men, despite their extraordinary origins, were not taken seriously by Long Yi.
Though he had pledged allegiance to Gu Chen, one mustn’t forget his own strength was remarkable as well.
Grinding his teeth, a man from the Fire Sect retorted, "Are you choosing to oppose us deliberately? Do you not fear that once our eldest brother breaks through to the Celestial Realm, he will come for a reckoning?"
