"Let's go." Jiang Chen pulled Jiang Jiewen along, and they vanished into the night on their sword.
In such a short distance and under the cover of darkness, Jiang Chen naturally chose the most convenient and swift method.
Standing on the Zong Yun Jian, Jiang Jiewen felt the rush of wind by her ears as she looked down at the flickering lights and neon below, experiencing an unreal sensation.
"Jiang Chen, am I... am I flying?" Jiang Jiewen instinctively tightened her grip on Jiang Chen, feeling both nervous and excited.
"This is called sword flight. You must have seen it in those fantasy dramas, but this time it's real," Jiang Chen explained.
"It's amazing, Jiang Chen! If I couldn't feel your presence and warmth, I would think I'm dreaming. This is just... so cool!" Jiang Jiewen struggled to find the right words and settled on calling it cool.
"Perhaps one day, you can do it too," Jiang Chen smiled.
"Really?" Jiang Jiewen's eyes lit up with anticipation. The dream of flying was undoubtedly as alluring as immortality for anyone.
Although Jiang Chen knew many girls on Earth, some even more beautiful and accomplished than Jiang Jiewen, his feelings for her were clearly different. After all, in her past life, she had harbored a secret crush on him. Thinking back to his previous life made Jiang Chen feel a mix of nostalgia and gratitude; he had been fortunate to be admired by a goddess like Jiang Jiewen while also receiving affection from Su Yu.
However, in his past life, Jiang Chen had also been unfortunate; sometimes, social status mattered in love. Nevertheless, the fact that Jiang Jiewen had secretly loved him was enough for him to treat her differently.
As for Su Yu, she was also a goddess in her own right and had always loved the previous version of Jiang Chen. In this life, he naturally wanted to make it up to her.
"Alright, we've arrived." Suddenly, Jiang Chen announced.
Jiang Jiewen quickly looked down. The night was vast and dark, but on Qingyi Mountain, there was only one spot with faint light. Though she felt a bit scared of heights, having Jiang Chen beside her boosted her courage significantly, and she didn't feel much fear at all.
"Let's observe for now." Jiang Chen lowered the sword's altitude and landed on a rock wall near Longyan Pool to survey the area below.
Li Fuxiu and Jiang Shi were currently stationed beside Longyan Pool. They were quite straightforward, skipping any ambushes; it seemed they were full of confidence.
Since their opponents had yet to arrive, Li Fuxiu and the others took turns observing Longyan Pool while waiting.
"Old Peng, is there really anything like Yin Spirit Essence here?" Li Fuxiu scooped up some water from the pool with his hand. The winter water was particularly cold; however, aside from its chilliness, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
Peng Shishan also wore a puzzled expression and shook his head. "Whether there is or not will be revealed when they arrive. I have no expertise in this matter."
After a while, sounds emerged from the woods as two beams of light approached from afar.
"They're coming," Peng Shishan said as he faced downhill. His expression grew slightly serious as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Despite this seriousness, his aura was still strikingly powerful, giving off the impression of a strong figure standing atop a mountain overlooking everything below.
In martial arts, presence mattered greatly; if one's aura could surpass that of an opponent's, there was already a fifty percent chance of victory.
Li Fuxiu and Jiang Shi straightened their backs, becoming alert. They had already fallen victim the previous night, leaving a shadow in their hearts, and their pulses quickened as they instinctively moved closer to Peng Shishan.
Soon, the two figures from last night came rushing toward them. Dressed in black athletic gear, their faces had been obscured by the rain the night before, making it difficult to discern their features. However, tonight, under the powerful beam of a flashlight, their appearances became clear.
