"you!"
"How dare you!"
What are you doing?
Seeing the enraged men, each with their sleeves rolled up as if ready to fight him, Ji Yun coldly said, "You think you're so great? Say another word and I'll kick you all off the mountain."
Seeing Ji Yun's aggressive demeanor, as if he were about to fight them, two disciples were somewhat discouraged. Their goal was to win a ranking, not to get injured in a fight and lose their eligibility for the assessment. If they did, they would definitely be severely punished when they returned to the sect.
Ji Yun took Yue Xi's hand and walked straight upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, their figures disappeared from the spot.
When Ji Yun and Yue Xi opened their eyes again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
A strange road, with a stone figure guarding the middle of the road, and a light curtain behind the stone figure.
"Where is this?" Yuexi asked in surprise.
