At the same time, Zhou Wanfeng's expression changed abruptly as his gaze fell on Yaoyue, who was standing in mid-air opposite him. He then quickly transmitted his voice, saying, "Bai Gongfeng, this woman is the one who was with that Void Breaking Realm expert back then."

"Um?"

Upon hearing what Zhou Wanfeng said, Bai Wansheng frowned slightly.

"Is he the person beside that Void Breaking Realm martial artist who infiltrated the Nine Provinces?"

Zhou Wanfeng nodded and said, "That's right! Exactly."

Bai Wansheng asked, "But didn't your letter say that she was condensing her martial arts golden core when you met her? Why has she now entered the late stage of the Divine Illumination Realm?"

Faced with Bai Wansheng's question, Zhou Wanfeng looked puzzled and said, "I also find this matter strange, but I can confirm that when this woman was on Daze Mountain last year, she was indeed condensing her martial arts golden core, but now..."

Hearing Zhou Wanfeng's response, Bai Wansheng looked at Yaoyue across from him with a newfound interest.

The path of martial arts is difficult; each step forward is like entering a new realm.

Even for a once-proud genius like Bai Wansheng, who was an extremely arrogant expert in the Void Breaking Realm, it took him hundreds of years to go from condensing his Martial Dao Golden Core to entering the late stage of the Illumination God Realm.

Moreover, it is in a place like the land of China, where the power of heaven and earth is abundant.

However, Yaoyue completed the journey that he needed for two hundred years in less than two years.

If Bai Wansheng knew about such an astonishing rate of improvement, the benefits it would bring would be unimaginable. How could this not interest Bai Wansheng?

After a few moments of contemplation, Bai Wansheng revealed a smile.

"Very well. The main purpose of this trip to the Nine Provinces was to find that Void Breaking Realm expert. Since this woman is familiar with that Void Breaking Realm expert, it saves us some trouble."

Above the Zhenwu Hall, looking at Bai Wansheng opposite her, Yaoyue felt a sense of solemnity.

After a brief pause, Yaoyue put one hand behind her back and said, "As you said, I have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wansheng chuckled, then glanced at Gongzi Yu beside him before turning his gaze back to Yaoyue.

"The fact that you were willing to show yourself despite knowing the danger shows that you value this person quite a bit!"

In response to Bai Wansheng's words, Yaoyue glanced at the imprisoned Gongzi Yu and replied truthfully, "A little, but not much."

Chu Qinghe and Gongzi Yu have a good relationship, and the fact that Yaoyue is able to sit on the throne so securely is largely due to Gongzi Yu.

For these two reasons, Yaoyue responded to Bai Wansheng's threats.

Bai Wansheng was slightly taken aback by Yaoyue's response.

Originally, seeing that Yaoyue immediately appeared when faced with his threat, it was assumed that Gongzi Yu and Yaoyue had a good relationship.

Judging from Yaoyue's current reaction, her relationship with Gongzi Yu is not particularly close.

Gongzi Yu, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.

After all, everyone knows Yaoyue's personality. Gongzi Yu believes that if it weren't for Chu Qinghe, Yaoyue wouldn't have paid any attention to him at all.

However, from another perspective, Gongzi Yu could also see how much Chu Qinghe meant to Yaoyue from her actions at this moment.

It was because of Chu Qinghe that he was willing to risk his life and take the initiative to confront Bai Wansheng and the others head-on.

Beside him, Bai Wansheng, having regained his senses, said slowly, "So be it! Since we've already shown ourselves, it doesn't matter what your relationship with this guy is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword energy that had been surrounding Gongzi Yu vanished instantly.

Without the support of the sword energy surrounding him, Gongzi Yu, whose cultivation was sealed, immediately fell from the sky.

Seeing this, Yaoyue's hand under her long sleeves moved slightly, and a special kind of energy burst out, pulling Gongzi Yu down slowly to the ground.

Bai Wansheng did not stop or interfere with Yaoyue's actions.

After Gongzi Yu landed safely, Bai Wansheng glanced at Zhou Wanfeng.

Noticing Bai Wansheng's signal, Zhou Wanfeng asked, "Who was that expert who was with you on Mount Daze before?"

However, when asked by Zhou Wanfeng, Yaoyue did not even bother to respond. Instead, she turned to Bai Wansheng and said, "If you want to get information from me, let's see what you're capable of first."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wansheng slightly raised his gaze and placed it on Yaoyue.

When their eyes met and Bai Wansheng sensed the intense fighting spirit in Yaoyue's eyes, a hint of surprise arose in his heart.

Then, Bai Wansheng chuckled and said, "Interesting. A mere martial artist at the Divine Illumination Realm dares to challenge me?"

Clearly, in Bai Wansheng's eyes, Yaoyue's current challenge to him is nothing short of a joke.

Perhaps because he was dissatisfied with Yaoyue's earlier disregard, Zhou Wanfeng said with a slightly cold expression, "She's just a late-stage Divine Illumination Realm cultivator. Why should we waste our efforts?"

After saying that, Zhou Wanfeng suddenly soared into the air with a surge of true energy.

With incredible speed, he covered ten zhang in an instant and appeared in front of Yaoyue, grabbing her neck with one hand.

Such speed was so fast that even experts like Meng Chixing and Pang Ban, who were at the Heavenly Realm, couldn't catch Zhou Wanfeng's speed at all.

Bai Wansheng did not try to stop Zhou Wanfeng's actions at all; instead, he looked at Yaoyue with great interest.

Then, in everyone's sight, his right hand was still behind his back in mid-air, while his left hand was gently raised.

As she gently raised her left hand, the back of her sleeve revealed Yaoyue's fair and slender hand, as white as a scallion.

As her left hand rose, terrifying true essence and the power of heaven and earth burst forth from Yaoyue's hand.
