Yaochi (Jade Pool).

On a picturesque mountain, amidst clear waters, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, stood a woman in a long, emerald-green dress. She wore a semi-transparent veil, obscuring her face, revealing only a pair of bright, expressive eyes, with a hint of melancholy in her expression.

The reason is simple: looking around, Yaochi has lost too many disciples. They were all quite beautiful, and many of them were quite talented, but unfortunately they all fell into the clutches of evil. Now, only the elders with ordinary appearances or those who have entered middle and old age remain.

"Alas, I wonder how the eight elders are doing. That demon is so cruel that even divine punishment couldn't kill him. As long as he's around, the ancient martial arts world will be shrouded in darkness."

Gongsun Yuyao sighed. Just thinking about the terrifying strength of those two alien women made her completely lose the will to resist.

At this moment, her worried face suddenly changed, and her aura suddenly became powerful. Looking into the distance, she saw a sedan chair floating towards Yaochi.

"What are those things that are neither human nor ghost? They have such a sinister aura. They're probably at the level of Earth Immortals. Could they be that person's subordinates?"

She sensed the powerful yin energy emanating from the area, and her aura gradually calmed down. She stood aside and waited.

In the ancient martial arts world, the person with such power is undoubtedly the one who has taken in countless female disciples. Even if they are not his subordinates, given his strength at the Earth Immortal level, any action taken by him would be futile.

Before long, the sedan chair landed in front of her, and the sedan chair bearers, who were neither human nor ghost, turned into black mist and flew inside.

Two beautiful women emerged from within, their skin fair and rosy, incredibly delicate. Both wore semi-transparent white gauze dresses. Upon seeing Gongsun Yuyao, their faces flushed, and they lifted the curtains from either side, calling out her name in sweet voices.

"Your Majesty."

When Gongsun Yuyao saw the two of them, she was initially delighted, but then she was filled with shame and anger, because she saw clothes that were worse than not wearing any clothes at all, and skin that was much more tender, with many faint purplish-blue handprints.

She, a pure and virtuous elder from Yaochi, had actually become a maid. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Gu Yan lazily stepped out of the sedan chair and leaped in front of Gongsun Yuyao, startling her so much that she shrank back.

The tiger was already right in front of the little rabbit; how could it let her escape?

She let out a soft moan and was pulled into his arms.

"How have you been thinking about it lately?"

Gongsun Yuyao bit her pink lips as she was forcefully embraced by a handsome young man who was about the same height as her. Her delicate face flushed red, and she pushed against his chest with her small hands, trying to get away from him.

"Senior, Yuyao had just figured things out and was just about to come to you when you came in person."

After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed. She couldn't bear to listen to such a clumsy lie.

Gu Yan lifted her fair chin, looked the beautiful woman up and down, laughed, and instantly teleported to the sedan chair.

Gongsun Yuyao felt a moment of disorientation before finding herself in a different place. Seeing such a beautiful and enormous sedan chair, she couldn't help but lift a part of the curtain and look inside.

Ah~

She lightly covered her pink lips with her jade-like hand, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, her face instantly turning red as she looked at Gu Yan with embarrassment and annoyance.

What did she see inside?

Those were the most beautiful elders from Yaochi who remained in Tianluo Mountain.

Looking at the unusual appearance of the two elders on her left and right, she immediately realized that they hadn't been idle on their way here.

The two beautiful women blushed and kept their heads bowed deeply.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before they're lively and energetic again, and their cultivation will increase significantly."

Gu Yan gently pinched her smooth cheek with her fingers to comfort her.

Gongsun Yuyao glared at him fiercely, pointed at the many elders with trembling hands, gritted her teeth, and said angrily, "That's not what Yuyao meant. I hope that you can show them some respect next time."

"Hmm, alone..."

At this point, a beautiful woman turned pale and quickly tugged at her sleeve.

"Yuyao, don't talk nonsense. The King's physique is strong and unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for taking care of his sisters and serving them alone, he would have died long ago."

Gongsun Yuyao blushed deeply upon hearing this, and was extremely shocked.

Are there really people like this in the world?

Isn't it said that there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing?

"Hehe, Fairy Gongsun, I plan to explore some forbidden areas. Would you be willing to accompany me?"

Gu Yan chuckled, gently stroking her small hand, pulling her out of that strange train of thought. Otherwise, if she frightened the other person, what would happen in the future?

Upon hearing this, the three women's expressions immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, that place is dangerous. There is great danger below, and it is suspected that there is a giant beast that has existed for a long time."

A beautiful woman spoke anxiously, revealing a secret that would cause chaos in the ancient martial arts world.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are many enormous beasts down there, and it is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for the great height above the ground, they could even climb up here."

Another beautiful woman added, her voice tinged with fear.

Gu Yan smiled faintly and waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright, don't worry, no one in this world can hurt me."

Gongsun Yuyao opened her mouth, but upon thinking of the opponent's immense strength, which even lightning couldn't kill, she remained silent.

The two beautiful women twisted their waists, snorted in dissatisfaction, crossed their arms, and looked to the sides, ignoring him.

Gu Yan raised his hand and created a golden vortex.

"You two have worked hard. Go back and get some rest. Also, make sure to settle the others in."

He then patted their shapely buttocks and carried them inside, sedan chair and all.

Gongsun Yuyao stared in astonishment at her surroundings, speechless for a long time.

"What are you looking at? Are you captivated by my immense power?"

Gu Yan looked at her with a wicked smile, pointed towards the air, and a golden giant sword reappeared.

Gongsun Yuyao blushed and remained silent, her heart pounding like a thousand deer, as if she hadn't yet recovered from this strange method.

"Hahaha, watch me take you into the forbidden zone and see what kind of demons and monsters are causing trouble."

Gu Yan embraced her slender waist, stepped onto the giant sword, and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the distance.
