Before Youyou could react, Tianqi, who was about to communicate with the Heavenly Dao to investigate, froze and looked down at his hand in shock.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yuan?" You You asked.
He then looked at her with a somewhat bewildered expression, "My connection with the Heavenly Dao... is severed!"
"What!" You You was startled. Yuan's father was the one who controlled the rules of Heaven, and the rules of the Six Realms were all under his control. How could he suddenly be disconnected from Heaven? She subconsciously looked at the person next to her, "Feng Rong, have you...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Feng Rong's condition had worsened. Her face was pale, and she squatted down. The demonic energy on her body seemed to have been punctured by something, overflowing from her body and slowly dissipating.
"Feng Rong!" You You quickly squatted down, trying to help her up. "What's wrong?"
“My power…” Feng Rong looked up in surprise, “has vanished.”
"..." What's going on?
“He’s fine…” Yuan Qi checked Feng Rong’s face and explained, “He just hasn’t adjusted to the power yet because it dissipated too quickly. He’ll be fine in a bit.”
“Father Yuan, are you like this too?” Youyou looked at him.
"Hmm." Yuan Qi nodded, looked around, and guessed in a deep voice, "This place should be a realm outside the Six Realms, which is why our power is ineffective here." Rules and demonic paths do not exist in this world, which is why they are like this.
"A place beyond the mortal realm?" You You was taken aback. "You mean we've already left our original world?"
That should be the case.
"Will you all be alright?"
“It’s alright, you’ll just become an ordinary person.” Yuan Qi frowned. “As long as you go back, you can naturally recover.”
"Oh." Youyou was relieved, but after a moment she continued, "But... why do I still have my power?"
Yuan Qi: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
The two looked at her in shock, and Feng Rong couldn't help but ask, "You... didn't you feel the suppression of power?"
“No.” Youyou shook her head firmly, and with a thought, a spirit sword appeared in her hand. “There is spiritual energy here too. I don’t feel any difference from the Six Realms.”
Feng Rong and Yuan Qi exchanged a glance. That was strange. They had both sensed the rejection from this world, and even the Heavenly Dao and the Demonic Dao did not exist here, proving that they had already left their original world.
But why would Youyou, the realm lord who has the deepest connection with the world, show no reaction at all, and even be able to draw upon the spiritual energy here? The three of them pondered the matter but still couldn't figure out the reason.
Furthermore, due to their limited power, they were unable to directly and comprehensively explore this world.
"Why don't we look around?" Youyou suggested, "We need to figure out where we are."
The two nodded, looked around, and found a path ahead with a grove of trees beside it, but they couldn't tell which way it led. Just as they were wondering whether to use their divine sense to explore where the path led, several figures suddenly flew past with a whooshing sound in the air.
Upon closer inspection, each of them was surrounded by spiritual energy and was a cultivator. Moreover, most of them were heading in the same direction, but their clothing was different, so they were probably not companions, but just passing by one after another.
“So many people… there should be a city of cultivators not far ahead,” Yuan Qi guessed.
"Then let's follow them." Youyou immediately summoned his flying sword; it's better to gather information with more people.
Unable to use Yuan Qi and Feng Rong's powers, You You had no choice but to enlarge the flying sword and take the two of them with her as they flew off in the direction of the people from before.
The group's cultivation level didn't seem high, only around the Foundation Establishment stage. So Youyou quickly caught up with them, deliberately slowing down and following them at a distance, intending to enter the city with them.
Perhaps her purpose was too obvious, for the last female cultivator in a cyan robe noticed her and curiously glanced back. After a moment, she slowed her pace and greeted her warmly, "Fellow Daoist, are you also going to Qinghong City?"
"Uh...yes!" Youyou replied, confirming there was indeed a town ahead. "You too?"
"Of course, I've heard that the number of people selected by the Jingling Academy this year is dozens of times greater than in the past. Which cultivator wouldn't want to join in the fun?" The female cultivator in green smiled. "May I ask which academy you belong to..."
She suddenly stopped speaking, her gaze fixed on Yuan Qi and Feng Rong behind her, her eyes widening in amazement, so much so that she forgot to blink.
Although Yuan Qi and Feng Rong were indeed outstanding in appearance, You You inexplicably felt that her gaze was somewhat strange, and even the two involved frowned. She subconsciously turned to the side to shield herself.
The other person then came to their senses and gave her an apologetic smile, saying, "Hehehe... Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, your two attendants are really quite..."
What, sir?
"However... given their appearance, no matter what they've done, I advise you to calm down and not make things difficult for them. Try to find a way to help them cover it up to avoid further trouble," she advised earnestly.
Huh? What do you mean? What kind of trouble?
Youyou didn't understand what she meant for a moment, but the other party didn't explain. She sighed, turned her head to look ahead, and said, "We've arrived."
Sure enough, a city appeared ahead, teeming with people and brimming with spiritual energy—it was likely a city of cultivators. The woman in green lost all interest in chatting and immediately accelerated towards the city.
Youyou followed, and in a moment they landed on an open space outside the city. The female cultivator was right; there were indeed many people here, especially at the city gate, where cultivators were everywhere.
The three exchanged a glance and headed straight into the city. They had originally intended to find an opportunity to inquire about the situation in this place, but the further they went, the more strange things seemed around them.
The previously lively crowd suddenly fell silent upon seeing the group, and strange eyes turned towards them—or rather, towards Yuan Qi and Feng Rong.
Their eyes were filled with undisguised amazement, but there were also some looks of disgust or disdain, as if the two had committed some heinous crime. The three of them didn't know what was going on at first, until she was suddenly stopped by a disheveled woman in red.
"Wait a minute!" The woman in red appeared out of nowhere, her clothes loose and baggy as if they were about to slip off. Her eyes were fixed on Feng Rong and Yuan Qi beside her, filled with infatuation. She even swallowed exaggeratedly and said, "Hey, I want these two wicked servants of yours! How about you sell them to me? I'm willing to pay five hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Youyou: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
What the heck?!
