Ji Yuan's divine sense successfully advanced to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, allowing him to manifest his divine sense into swords. While testing this new ability, he detected Kunyu Zhenren being pursued by the East Sea Three Evils. Ji Yuan recognized Kunyu Zhenren from his time in Jiyuan Continent and recalled her connection to Liu Yuan, suspecting Liu Yuan might be in trouble as well. He decided to intervene and save Kunyu Zhenren.

"A mere mid-stage Core Formation, don’t bother."

The man opposite, with a large blade on his shoulder, sneered, and with a swing of the blade, a golden blade light sliced through the air.

"Chirp—"

The Fire Phoenix let out a piercing shriek, then flapped its wings and flew towards the blade light.

Even in the face of a formidable enemy, Kunyu Zhenren remained unfazed.

Her hands continuously formed seals, and a jade hairpin flew out from her hair, like a small white jade sword.

"Go!"

She shouted softly, and the jade hairpin, propelled by the Fire Technique, left a fiery red trail in the air, striking directly towards the two remaining mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

In the distance, the Fire Phoenix collided with the blade light.

On contact, the Fire Phoenix had no resistance whatsoever.

Under the blade light, the Fire Phoenix instantly turned to ash.

Kunyu Zhenren, who was fighting the two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, found herself retreating rapidly in just a few breaths’ time.

Seeing the late-stage Core Formation man also approaching.

Kunyu Zhenren was even ready to self-destruct, but just then, the three men in front of her stopped abruptly.

An overwhelming sense of pressure descended, forcing Kunyu Zhenren to lower her head.

"You... have some nerve."

A man’s light chuckle sounded, "Daring to kill in front of me."

The leader of the East Sea Three Fiends almost knelt down, and he could only speak tremblingly:

"Fo... forgive us, senior."

"We were unaware of your esteemed presence here, please forgive us, forgive us."

The remaining two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators directly knelt in the void under the divine sense pressure of Ji Yuan, who was in the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

"Oh? Disturbing my peaceful cultivation is one thing, but you want me to forgive you? Such boldness?"

This voice started far away but gradually got closer.

As the last word fell, Kunyu Zhenren saw a man in a blue robe appear out of thin air on high, stepping on a Serpent Dragon.

The Serpent Dragon was ice-blue all over, its scales gleaming in the morning sun.

The man in the blue robe was tall, standing on the back of the Serpent Dragon with his hands behind him, his robe fluttering in the sea breeze.

As she blinked again, she found the man had already approached.

Three sword lights flashed.

The East Sea Three Fiends, about to speak, suddenly stiffened, and three water-blue sword lights shot from their foreheads.

Their auras instantly vanished.

Kunyu Zhenren naturally knew she was saved, but just as she was about to thank the senior...

She saw the senior raise his hand to collect the bodies, then take out a Black Banner from his Storage Bag, waving it in the air to summon and collect the three men’s Yin Souls.

...This senior was actually a Demon!

Kunyu Zhenren watched as the senior put away the Black Banner, about to speak, but a familiar voice echoed above her sea of consciousness first.

"This is not a place to linger, Daoist Kunyu, come with me, let’s find another place to talk."

As Ji Yuan finished speaking, he put away the Serpent Dragon above his head, transformed into a watery blue Escape Light, and flew straight westward.

He had come from the north, but the situation was unclear now, he couldn’t bring Kunyu Zhenren to his island, finding another island nearby for discussion would suffice.

Kunyu Zhenren, not recognizing who this person was, but convinced her life was saved by him, didn’t hesitate and turned into Escape Light to follow.

Moments later, on a Nameless Island.

Ji Yuan casually set up the Inverted World Formation left by Yun Qianzai, then changed his appearance and aura with a Transformation Talisman.

"You, you, you... you’re Daoist Changshou!"

Kunyu Zhenren recognized him and her eyes were full of surprise.

"It’s me."

Ji Yuan nodded with a smile.

Back then, when Liu Yuan introduced Ji Yuan to them, Ji Yuan used the identity of Li Changshou.

So naturally, he used it again now they met.

"Daoist Changshou, you..."

Kunyu Zhenren intended to say that when they first met, Ji Yuan was only at early-stage Core Formation, how could he now be... mid-stage Core Formation?

Absolutely impossible.

Though in Kunyu Zhenren’s perception, Ji Yuan seemed to be at the same mid-stage Core Formation.

But with the power Ji Yuan showed earlier, suppressing three Core Formation cultivators before coming out, including one late-stage Core Formation.

Then, in a single move, he killed these three.

This technique, this power, calling it mid-stage Core Formation?

Kunyu Zhenren wouldn’t believe it even if killed.

But just as she was about to speak, Kunyu Zhenren quickly changed her words.

"Weren’t you in West Border City, Daoist Changshou, why did you suddenly disappear, we searched for you several times but couldn’t find you."

"I was about to ask you, weren’t you in West Border City, how did you end up in the Extreme Eastern Sea."

Ji Yuan didn’t answer directly but instead posed a counter-question.

Kunyu Zhenren immediately understood, Li Changshou likely didn’t want to talk about it, or it was inconvenient to say.

"It’s a long story."

Kunyu Zhenren sighed deeply.

"Does it have to do with Liu Yuan?"

Ji Yuan pondered briefly and asked.

"You could say so."

Kunyu Zhenren paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts, before saying, "After Daoist Changshou left, my husband... also known as Zhenren Jinghong, and I were doing well in West Border City, but later we offended a cultivator from Celestial Killer Mountain during a treasure hunt."

"We had no choice but to flee. If we ventured out of the city, we were hunted, but staying in West Border City, we couldn’t sustain our cultivation needs."
