Chapter 900 The Western Sands (Part Two)
The two people in the room were a man and a woman.
The woman was dressed in white, tall and slender, with a cool and aloof demeanor, a thin chin, and tightly pursed lips; she was clearly a decisive person.
Meanwhile, a man sat in the other corner, resting with his eyes closed...
To Han Yi's surprise, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an old acquaintance here.
To be precise, Han Yi knew the other person, but the other person did not know him.
The man sitting in the corner was none other than Gongye Yun of the Gongye family, an outstanding disciple of Xuanqing Mountain. Gongye Yun's five senses seemed to be extremely sharp; sensing that someone was watching him, he slowly opened his eyes and looked over.
Han Yi smiled and nodded slightly, taking it as a greeting.
Gongye Yun didn't speak either, but nodded, closed his eyes again, and conserved his energy.
Han Yi didn't care about these things, but he felt a little strange.
Even if a distinguished disciple of a school like Gongye Yun were swindled out of a large sum of money, he would never be short of cash.
They risked venturing into the outside world, even the dangerous Dark Spirit level world, just to earn a pittance.
With these questions in mind, Han Yi also chose a corner and waited patiently.
Soon.
Then came the sound of two more footsteps.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. To Han Yi's astonishment...
He recognized the man who led the two people who entered.
That was Xie Guangning, the disciple of the Hailan School who fought Gongye Yun that day.
Now, Han Yi had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
No matter how generous the reward, a world at the level of the Dark Spirit could not possibly attract elites like Xie Guangning and Gongye Yun from the university school.
Xisha Domain is a dark spirit world where an accident occurred.
Even though the first wave of advance personnel who disappeared were of low cultivation level and average strength, while Xie Guangning's group was on average much stronger than the former, the possibility of them being injured or killed still existed until the cause of their disappearance was found out.
Following Xie Guangning was a woman with a beautiful face and a charming figure.
The woman's hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a white gauze dress. There were several faint lines on each side of her cheeks, resembling fish gills.
"Gongye Yun? What are you doing here?"
Xie Guangning shifted her gaze and frowned as she looked at one person in the room.
"If you can go to the outside world, why can't I?" Gongye Yun sneered. "Today I want to see if the so-called outside world is as mysterious as you say."
"What a joke?! Go back!" Xie Guangning said unhappily. "The Xisha Domain... is not your Xuanqing Mountain's garden world. Once we're inside, I won't have time to take care of you."
The two had a good relationship to begin with, but it had become somewhat strained recently due to Xiao Yao's instigation. Now that they have fully seen through Xiao Yao's true colors, their relationship has eased and they have reconciled.
"Do I need your help?" Gongye Yun curled his lip and said disdainfully, "You talk like you can beat me. You're no better than me, and you're here saying you'll take care of me? Just don't come begging to me when you get hurt."
"You?!" Xie Guangning's face darkened, and he was immediately displeased.
"Want to fight? I'm ready anytime." Gongye Yun took down his guqin and continued to provoke him, "A mere level three Black Spirit world, you call it a level nine world... Who are you trying to scare?"
"...Only now do I realize..." Xie Guangning said angrily, "Even if it weren't for Xiao Yao...I still don't like you!"
"That's perfect. Let's have a contest and see who can claim the highest reward from the Xisha Region." Gongye Yun retorted directly, "The loser has to kneel at the entrance of the opposing school for three days. How about it, are you ready to bet?"
"Let's gamble!" Xie Guangning was also caught up in the moment. "I'm just worried that some people... won't admit defeat... like last time..."
He was about to say something when the woman behind him tugged at his sleeve. She stepped forward, her lips slightly parted, and whispered a few words.
Xie Guangning gradually calmed down, his expression returned to normal, he snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
His gaze lingered on Han Yi and the other woman's faces for a moment before he strode into the room and sat down in a corner.
Not long after.
Suddenly, the lotus bud in the center of the room shone brightly, and in the soft white light, the petals unfolded one by one, resembling a lotus throne.
Then a male voice came, and the five people were arranged to sit on a petal.
laugh…...
The petals slowly closed, and a beam of white light descended from the sky, forming a straight white pillar that landed on the closed flower bud.
In the blink of an eye.
The statue, along with Han Yi and his four companions, vanished, leaving only a bottomless black hole in the center of the room.
……………
Xisha Islands - Unknown Area
The azure sky was clean and pure, without a trace of impurity or cloud, like a giant transparent lens through which countless distorted golden rays shone.
In the boundless sea of sand, as far as the eye can see, there is an endless ocean of golden sand, dunes, sandstone, and even sand rivers.
The Xisha Islands, just like its name suggests, are a sea of sand, boundless and limitless.
In the dark and murky hall, the air suddenly trembled, and a blinding white light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire cave.
Bang.
A lotus bud sculpture appeared out of thin air and crashed heavily into the center of the hall.
Rings of dust rippled outwards like waves. Swish, swish, swish…
In the darkness, countless arthropods that had been dwelling in the main hall retreated like a tide, their rustling movements like flowing sand, sending chills down one's spine.
Chi!
The lotus statue's petals suddenly bloomed, and a large amount of white smoke billowed out from it.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The hall fell silent once more.
"Hmm..."
After a while.
Gongye Yun slowly stood up, rubbing his temples with his fingers, seemingly feeling nauseous and uncomfortable.
"here it is……"
"The Western Sands. This is the Western Sands. I told you long ago not to come. You can't even withstand the basic Lotus Wheel Flying Palace of the Moon Wheel Clan. I really don't know what you're trying to prove."
Xie Guangning snorted coldly and nimbly jumped out of the lotus seat, seemingly unaffected by the breaking of the boundary.
The slight furrow in his brows indicated that he was merely gritting his teeth and forcing himself to endure it.
"You lot... wake up quickly too." Xie Guangning flicked his finger and cast a blue talisman.
The talisman exploded, and a blue halo carrying a cool aura gently enveloped the group.
The remaining three people gradually regained consciousness.
"Xisha Islands..."
Han Yi narrowed his eyes and carefully surveyed his surroundings.
He had actually been awake for a while, waking up the moment he arrived in this world. He hadn't felt anything unusual about this so-called spatial barrier... from entering to leaving and passing through it. It was just that within this five-person team...
His physical strength was the weakest on the surface, so he deliberately pretended to be unconscious and in a deep sleep.
Underfoot was a black paved floor, covered in dust, as if it hadn't been used for many years and had simply accumulated naturally.
The main hall is surrounded by black walls, engraved with various strange and exotic beast patterns. The patterns are faintly connected in the gaps, emanating a solid and heavy aura, which should be a protective array or something similar.
"This should be the reception hall set up by the advance team or the logistics personnel," the woman in white said softly, rubbing her forehead.
She appears aloof, but her voice is surprisingly gentle.
When she saw Han Yi looking over, she smiled slightly.
"My name is Kagura, a successor of the Kagami-ryu school."
"The Mirror Stream School?" Xie Guangning was slightly surprised, and then continued, "It's said that only two people are passed down in each generation, the school that possesses the ability to control the power of mirror spirits?"
"Not bad." Kagura nodded slightly.
"Your sect leader is quite generous, willing to risk going out with just the two of you..." Xie Guangning shook his head, somewhat puzzled.
"We members of the Hundred Veins enjoy far more benefits than ordinary people in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. Cleaning up the outside world and acquiring resources for the Origin Realm is our duty. What doubts do you have?" Kagura said calmly. "Besides, a medium-level reward is already a valuable soul weapon. Although it is only a second-grade soul weapon, I doubt that even a prestigious school like your Hailan School would have one for every student."
Moreover, there's the highest reward personally promised by the Holy Palace. Even Young Master Xie, a descendant of the Hailan School, personally risked his life. So what's so surprising about our Mirror Flow School, a school with no real foundation, appearing here?"
She seemed to have recognized Xie Guangning's identity long ago.
Or to put it another way, it would be strange if the Hailan School, as one of the top-ranked academic schools in the Hongji area, didn't know Xie Guangning.
"That's true..." Xie Guangning said with some emotion, "The world is like a river, and people are like duckweed... Sometimes, even we from the Hundred Schools of Thought are helpless in the face of certain things..."
Xie Guangning sighed and continued, "I am Xie Guangning, a successor of the Hailan School... I don't need to say more, right? The gentleman beside me..."
The woman next to Xie Guangning chuckled twice and introduced herself: "Just call me Yusheng. Like Guangning, I also come from the Hailan School."
She seemed to have an extremely close relationship with Xie Guangning, and the way she addressed him sounded somewhat ambiguous.
just.
Gongye Yun, who was squatting nearby, found the sounds extremely grating and felt inexplicably angry. "You, Xie Guangning! You just lost Xiao Yao, and you've already found a new love... You... I, Gongye Yun of Xuanqing Mountain, would never stoop to your level!"
"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, what Xiao Yao?" Xie Guangning frowned. "She's a female swindler, haven't you realized that yet?"
"Hmph! I don't know if he's a liar or not, but you spent a lot of money on him back then."
Gongye Yun snorted coldly and shut his mouth, saying nothing more.
The five-person team had already introduced themselves briefly, and now everyone's attention was focused on the last person.
Han Yi was the only one who hadn't introduced himself yet.
