Two days later, deep within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
Strange bird calls echoed through the valleys, and the stillness of the secluded gorge was interrupted by a few Eighth-Stage Beasts, Bloodscale Monkeys, leaping from tree to tree. They swiftly feasted on wild fruits growing in the mountains while emitting bizarre screeches. A group of over ten Bloodscale Monkeys exhibited formidable combat strength, causing a Ninth-Grade Beast, the Icy Armored Rhino, in the distance to merely crawl on the grass, grazing on the icy wild grass in the swamp below.
...
"Rustling..."
Accompanied by footsteps, several Bloodscale Monkeys scrambled up the tall trees, warily watching the approaching enemy.
Beneath the giant tree, a handsome young man dressed in a beast robe stood confidently. Beneath his robe, a dark red battle armor was faintly visible. A gray-brown cloak draped over his shoulders concealed a sword sheath, with two sword hilts protruding at an angle. He exuded an aura of vitality and tension, as if he were ready to unleash earth-shattering moves at any moment.
Behind the young man were two young women. One of them wore an elegantly designed Armor; its light blue curves wrapped around her delicate figure. Light gauze surrounded her like a fairy, and the Sharp Sword in her hand shimmered like snowflakes, captivating all who beheld it. This girl possessed breathtaking beauty that made the world pale in comparison; her lips curled slightly into a stunning smile.
"Zi Yu, it's noon."
Yun Xiaoxi called softly, glancing at the girl beside her. "Yan Yao just recently entered the Stellar Realm; she can't continue fighting for so long. Just look at how tired she is."
Ye Yang turned to look but found Yan Yao's face flushed and bloodstains on her Sharp Sword.
"Yan Yao, how does it feel to have taken down three Ninth-Grade Beasts in a row?" Ye Yang asked with a smile.
Yan Yao took a moment to calm her True Qi; her chest's rise and fall gradually steadied. She smiled softly, "Brother, I just stepped into the Stellar Realm last night. To take on three fierce Ninth-Grade Beasts this morning is quite challenging for me. If it weren't for Sister Yun's timely intervention, that Fire Qilin might not have been defeated!"
Yun Xiaoxi pouted, "Your brother is too ruthless..."
"Yes, exactly!"
Ye Yang stepped forward, ignoring the complaints of the two girls, and laughed, "This is nothing. The strength of a Ninth-Grade Beast is really too weak. Yan Yao, your power definitely surpasses that of a Ninth-Grade Beast; what you lack is just experience in facing opponents. However, you performed very well, and it was worth it for me to refine two Starry Sky Beast Cores to help you improve your cultivation."
"Mm." Yan Yao nodded with a smile, "Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome. If you thank me too much, I’ll feel embarrassed..." Ye Yang grinned.
Yun Xiaoxi glanced around and said, "Oh? There are so many Eighth-Stage Beasts here. Ye Yang, what are your plans next?"
Ye Yang thought for a moment and pointed into the distance, "Five miles from here is the Dragon Abyss where the Hidden Dragon Hall is located. I haven't returned since I left the Hidden Dragon Hall, so I plan to take this opportunity to go back to my sect and visit Elder Qingxuan."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yao was immediately delighted and exclaimed, "Brother, is there really an Azure Dragon in the Hidden Dragon Hall? Can I go with you?"
Ye Yang nodded, "There is indeed an Azure Dragon. The Guardian Dragon of the Hidden Dragon Hall is a very powerful spirit beast. If you want to enter with me, that's fine; however, it will be quite dangerous. Xiaoxi, do you want to enter the Hidden Dragon Hall as well?"
Yun Xiaoxi pouted, "Since we're here, we might as well go take a look. The Serene Gate and the Hidden Dragon Hall have always kept their distance from each other. It would be good for our generation of disciples to have some connection. The disciples of the Serene Gate are dedicated to supporting the world, while the Hidden Dragon Hall serves as guardians of all living beings on earth. In fact, we should be on the same side, right?"
Ye Yang chuckled lightly, "Yes, that's true. Then you take good care of Yan Yao while I lead the way. Let's aim to enter the Hidden Dragon Hall before noon. How does that sound?"
"Okay!"
Before his words fell silent, Ye Yang had already soared into the sky, his clothes fluttering as he shot upwards like a sharp arrow at incredible speed. The power of a Starry Sky Level Five Peak expert erupted instantly, leaving Yan Yao dumbfounded.
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly, linking her arm with Yan Yao's and shouted playfully as she also flew swiftly towards the location of the Hidden Dragon Hall.
In the sky, two figures shot through the air, riding the wind.
A few minutes later, the mountains ahead gradually became desolate, and a massive mountain range emerged in the distance, barren and lifeless. In the center lay an abyss, which was the entrance to the legendary Hidden Dragon Hall, known as the Dragon Abyss. Surrounding the Dragon Abyss was a scene of apocalypse; thunder roared, and thick chains of lightning broke through the clouds, intertwining around the Hidden Dragon Hall.
Ye Yang stood proudly above the Dragon Abyss, his feet hovering in mid-air, surrounded by a massive Starlit Armor that resisted the invasion of lightning, standing firm in this harsh and brutal environment.
He glanced at the scene below, furrowing his brow. "Huh? Although there are many magical beasts hidden within the Dragon Abyss, they rarely possess such an evil aura..."
Yun Xiaoxi, holding onto Yan Yao, looked at the scene below and said, "Hmm, could it be that people from Asura Hall have come? This aura is very evil and indeed resembles the power of cultivation rules from Asura Hall."
Ye Yang clenched his fists. "Damn it! I haven't returned to Asura Hall for a long time. Do those people dare to come to Hidden Dragon Hall and cause trouble? Incredible! Xiaoxi, I'm going down to check it out!"
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, Zi Yu. Elder Qingxuan of Hidden Dragon Hall has unfathomable cultivation and there’s also General Feilian as a guard. How could we possibly fear mere individuals from Hidden Dragon Hall? Judging by their aura, they definitely won't be strong enough to match a Starry Sky Seventh Level expert."
"Alright then, let's go down together!"
"Okay!"
