Seeing the glint of desire in his eyes, Ruan Xiyan, though inexperienced in matters of the heart, had at least seen the world.

If this continues, something bad is going to happen.

Ruan Xiyan stopped in time and chuckled.

How could she be so easily aroused? She simply thought it felt really good.

She poured a cup of tea from the table next to her and handed it to Junyu, saying, "Here, have a cup of tea to cool down and calm your mind."

Jun Yu looked at the mischievous smile on Ruan Xiyan's face and smiled helplessly. He really had no way to deal with Ayan.

The flying magical artifact continued to rush towards the Tianyu Sect.

When Ruan Xiyan had nothing to do, she sat down cross-legged to cultivate, while Jun Yu stayed by her side without leaving her side.

As Ruan Xiyan frantically mobilized her energy, the surrounding spiritual energy surged in like a vortex, penetrating her body.

Seeing this, a look of pride flashed in Junyu's eyes.

His Ayan was always so dazzling and outstanding, no matter the time, and could always easily steal his attention.

Ruan Xiyan used the spiritual energy she absorbed to strengthen her power.

Jun Yu sat beside her, one hand supporting his chin, his head tilted, his eyes fixed on Ruan Xiyan. Ruan Xiyan was truly beautiful.

Suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he pulled Ruan Xiyan into his arms.

At the same time, the flying magical artifact collided with something, causing it to shake violently.

Several powerful orbs of light struck the flying magical artifact, damaging it and causing it to emit black smoke and teeter on the verge of collapse.

Ruan Xiyan was well protected by Jun Yu and did not experience any bumps or jolting.

She opened her eyes, exchanged a glance with Jun Yu, and immediately abandoned the flying magic weapon, stepping into the air and standing in the air.

The flying magical artifact could no longer hold on and plummeted toward the ground.

Ruan Xiyan's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand and rubbed it in front of her. An invisible barrier appeared under her hand.

As she touched the barrier, several more orbs of power struck.

With a flick of his sleeve, Jun Yu completely obliterated the sphere of power that had reached him.

Ruan Xiyan asked in confusion, "Why would a barrier suddenly appear in the air to block our way?"

Moreover, it's a barrier that automatically attacks.

Once the barrier is touched, a power orb attack will be launched from the barrier.

"Ayan, let's go down and take a look."

Ruan Xiyan nodded, and the two of them landed on the ground.

The area within a hundred miles was shrouded in a huge barrier, like a prison.

Two women are running quickly to avoid a group of people chasing them from behind.

However, they were surrounded by a barrier, leaving them with nowhere to escape, like caged beasts.

"This place has been sealed off by our barrier. You can't escape. Surrender obediently and come back with us. We can pretend nothing happened and still treat you as honored guests."

Tinghe spat angrily, "Pah! You repay kindness with enmity, shameless bastards, you still think you can make us submit to you? Keep dreaming."

Yingxue and Tinghe had nowhere to retreat. They stood back to back, facing the people surrounding them from all directions.

"Tinghe, don't waste your breath on them." Yingxue gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes warily scanning the people around her.

"Since you won't listen to our kind advice, then don't blame us for being impolite!" The leader waved his hand, and the people around him immediately surrounded and attacked.

Yingxue charged ahead, while Tinghe brandished her long whip, blocking all who approached.

"A stubborn resistance!" The leader revealed the strength of the third level of the Creation Realm.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he unleashed a force that even Yingxue and Tinghe combined couldn't withstand, sending them both flying.

The leading man continued his attack on them.

Suddenly, a "crack" sound rang out, and the surrounding barrier shattered.

A figure appeared in front of the leading man with incredible speed.

The man was startled and quickly raised his hand to defend himself.

However, he was hit hard by Ruan Xiyan's punch. His defense was no match for Ruan Xiyan. His defensive shield shattered as easily as tofu.

A painful scream came from the man's mouth.

He then crashed to the ground, creating a large, human-shaped crater, with dust billowing around him.

As the dust settled, the people came to their senses and hurriedly pulled the man out of the human-shaped crater.

"My lord!"

Upon seeing Ruan Xiyan, joy simultaneously shone in Yingxue and Tinghe's eyes.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

Yingxue shook her head. "With Tinghe's medicine, we'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan looked at the group of people opposite her.

The man in the lead was helped up by his men with great effort; he was covered in dirt.

The moment he stood up, he roared at his surroundings, "Who dares to ambush me!"

He fixed his gaze on Ruan Xiyan, "How dare you! This is a matter for the Chen family of Qiutongcheng. You actually dared to interfere and even broke the barrier. I think you're tired of living."

"Take her down!" the leading man shouted angrily.

The people around her exchanged glances and then all rushed towards Ruan Xiyan.

Ruan Xiyan scoffed lightly, and without even moving her hands, she sent those people flying with just her fierce aura.

The man had no idea that this young woman was so strong.

His eyes darted around, and his voice softened as he gently advised, "With your abilities, why bother getting involved in this troublesome matter?"

"If you leave now, I can forgive and forget about your attack on me earlier."

"Enough with the nonsense. Why should I forgive you for what you did?" Ruan Xiyan's tone was icy, revealing her extraordinary strength, and her powerful aura pressed down on the man.

The man's breath caught in his throat, and his legs trembled under the oppressive force. With a thud, he knelt down on the ground.

"A transcendent...ordinary realm expert!"

"Now do you think I'm qualified to interfere?" Ruan Xiyan said, waving her hand casually.

The man was pierced through the body by a force, and his head drooped lifelessly.

"Yingxue, Tinghe, what's going on? Why are you being chased?" Ruan Xiyan asked, looking at the two behind her.

"My lord, after we arrived in the cultivation continent, we parted ways with you. Not long after, Yingxue and I met by chance, and we went together to Tianyu Sect to find you."

"Later, when we passed through Qiutong City and rested there, we saw a notice posted by the Chen family in the city."

"It is said that the head of the Chen family has contracted a strange illness and needs to be treated by an alchemist, and the reward for this is spiritual essence."

"Spiritual Essence?" Ruan Xiyan exclaimed in surprise, "It's such a good thing."

The Spirit Essence contains extremely pure spirit, which is an essential ingredient for refining high-grade ninth-rank pills, making it something that alchemists covet.
