A few days later.

Since the All Desolate Competition has come to an end, the amount of people in Solitude City has lessened and the excitement has calmed. The majority of the Sects have already left with only a few still staying in the City.

The Arcane Mountain and the Ardent Yin Sect were part of those few.

Inside a restaurant. The two Sects were together.

“Da Mei, I’m getting bored, when are we going back to the Mountain?” A pretty girl wearing a tight purple dress with an image of two moving mountains on the back quietly asked the person next to her, who looked completely identical in appearance.

“I’m not sure, Da Yi. Elder Yueyin seems to be waiting for someone.”

“I wonder who it is… Bing Yi, do you know?”

The Chosen from the Ardent Yin Sect has a hesitant look, “Maybe…”

“Who is it?” The twins asked simultaneously.

“Well…”

As the disciples were having discussions of their own, standing in front of a large window that was facing towards the city gate, was Xiao Yueyin and Guo Xinyi.

“Yueyin, how long do you plan on waiting? For all we know, they have already left. You need to go back to the Mountain and tell them about the news of the Graha ”

During these past several days, Guo Xinyi noticed something weird was going on in Xiao Yueyin’s attitude.

Perhaps other people wouldn’t have noticed her change, but Guo Xinyi has been friends with her for a long time, so it was all but apparent.

After a few hours of convincing, she was able to get the story out of Xiao Yueyin and was informed of everything that had happened. The return of the Graha race shook her.

“I…” Xiao Yueyin sighed, knowing she was right. “I’ll leave tonight.”

“Xinyi, remember, you can let your Sect Master know but try not to spread the matter just yet.”

“You can trust me.”

Nodding her head, Xiao Yueyin was going to remind Guo Xinyi of something else but stopped herself.

She looked out the window and noticed the familiar figures of a man and a woman walking through the large city gate.

Her eyes lit up. She left behind a few words before disappearing in a flash.

“They’re here.”

———————-

The couple walked side by side as Xia Lihua glanced at Ji Xian.

Before entering the city, he had covered his face once again with a white cloth. His long hair draped over his eyes making his appearance difficult to see.

“Are you doing this again?” She asked.

Ji Xian laughed, “Of course, who knows what you might do if all these women start falling for me.”

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Xia Lihua smacked her lips in disdain, “Idiot. You’re quite the narcissist.”

“With a face like mine, who wouldn’t be?”

“…”

She didn’t even know how to reply to this.

Suddenly, in front of them, Xiao Yueyin appeared out of thin air.

“Se..Senior Ji Xian! Miss Xia.”

Guo Xinyi arrived shortly after.

“Senior Ji Xian, Senior Xia Lihua.”

Hearing the way he was being addressed, Ji Xian audibly groaned while inwardly rolling his eyes.

“Just call me by my name, no need for formalities.”

Xia Lihua smiled seeing his expression. This was one of the rare times she has seen him annoyed.

“…Ji Xian. Regarding the events in the ocean…”

“Oh, that. I can show you if you want,”

The second he said this, Xia Lihua’s smile turned to a frown. She narrowed her eyes, looking at him with a glare.

He ignored her and continued, “You saw what I did with Lihua.” He tapped his forehead, hinting at something.

Xiao Yueyin recalled that beautiful image in her mind and understood. Her cheeks became slightly pink at the thought of Ji Xian doing that with her.

Guo Xinyi was confused, not sure what he meant.

…

Ji Xian smiled upon seeing her silence. Not wanting to tease her any longer, he stretched out both his arms and tapped Guo Xinyi and Xiao Yueyin’s glabella. It happened so fast that they were unable to react.

He showed the two of them the same scenes he showed Xia Lihua, minus the moment he lost control and the things he did to the two brothers afterward.

Luckily, the current population in Solitude City has dwindled. After such a big event, the streets were relatively empty. A few onlookers gave them a look but minded their own business. With the reputation of the Arcane Mountain and Ardent Yin Sect, something like this would’ve caused numerous amounts of rumors to circulate.

Guo Xinyi and Xiao Yueyin were completely absorbed in watching the scenes play out. Before they knew it, everything turned black and they no longer felt Ji Xian’s touch.

Slowly opening their eyes, they looked at him in a daze, unsure of how to feel about what they just saw.

Throughout the entire event, Ji Xian didn’t even really do anything other than throw out a few attacks here and there, but this was enough to shock them. He didn’t take the two brothers seriously at all! They’re beings who were at the Late Stage of the Holy realm!

Was he in the Extreme realm? Was Xia Lihua also in the Extreme realm?

Ji Xian smiled, looking at Xiao Yueyin, he said, “I have already sealed that Chaos Tunnel in the ocean. Lihua and I follow you to the Arcane Mountain and I’ll seal the one there as well. Think of it as a favor.”

“This... I.. uh..” Xiao Yueyin tried to calm herself. “Alright.”

Her mind was a mess. If his words are true, then is the threat of war finally resolved? Just like that? All these centuries of worrying, all these centuries of preparation, is it finally over?

She had doubts in her heart, it just seemed too easy.

There’s one more thing… the Universal Will. Nothing that she saw explained why the Universal Will appeared. Was there no correlation or was it something else…

Guo Xinyi was also looking at Ji Xian with the utmost respect, but there was another reason.

There’s a chance for Senior Sister to recover.

The Pavilion Master of the First Yin Pavilion, Fang Yu, has been gravely injured and has remained incapacitated for a long time. There has only been one person who was capable of possibly healing her, the mysterious Ancestor of the Arcane Mountain. But because he has been occupied guarding the formatic all year round, he was unable to leave.

And now, there’s a chance!

“Ji Xian, what happened to those pair of brothers?” Xiao Yueyin asked.

“I threw them back into the Chaos Tunnel, that’s all.”

“That…it?” She asked, feeling perplexed. “Why didn’t you kill them?” A hint of killing intent flashed passed her eyes.

Ji Xian wanted to laugh. Xiao Yueyin was quite similar to Xia Lihua.

“After I kill them, then what? Is it just so you can get some satisfaction from their deaths?”

Hearing this, she almost wanted to say yes, but she held back.

“How do you think the Grahas will react to their deaths?” Ji Xian continued asking.

“This…”

“Chances are, they will send even more people over.” He explained. “You kill two, they’ll send four. You kill four, they’ll send eight. The cycle continues until another full-blown war happens. Is that what you want?”

Xiao Yueyin frowned. She wasn’t thinking in that sort of direction. If she was in his position, then wouldn’t the world go to war again due to her carelessness?

Just the thought of it gave her cold sweats, even Guo Xinyi shuddered inwardly.

Ji Xian laughed seeing their expression. “Of course, I could just be talking nonsense, perhaps they won’t care and continue to bide for time. Who knows?”

He indifferently shrugged.

"..."

His casual attitude caused the two women to be speechless.

Can you please take this seriously…
