Yan Xuehen's delicate brows furrowed quickly, because she had not detected Yu Yanluo's aura.
She had dealt with Yu Yanluo several times and was naturally familiar with her aura and characteristics.
Of course, it's also possible that the Cloud City below was too noisy, and she wasn't sure if she had missed anything.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a divination plate from her bosom, then made a hand seal. The divination plate emitted a clear light and began to rotate slowly.
Then the ray of light began to wander, eventually overflowing and forming a virtual divination plate in the air.
The strange phenomenon in mid-air quickly attracted the attention of the city's residents. Seeing the graceful figure in white flowing in the air, along with the shimmering light surrounding her, many exclaimed, "A fairy has descended to earth!"
Even Xiao Yao, who was near the city wall, stared blankly in her direction. Of course, he wasn't like other ordinary people who were lustful. Instead, he muttered to himself, "The Creation and Evolution Technique of Baiyujing?"
Outsiders spoke of Bai Yujing's skill as something miraculous, claiming that it could not only predict good or bad fortune, but also calculate the great principles of human affairs.
Even from a great distance, he could faintly sense an aura of profound Dao principles. Xiao Yao marveled at the legendary Creation and Evolution Technique, which lived up to its reputation. Even from such a distance, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Meanwhile, Yan Xuehen, suspended in mid-air, remained calm and composed. The astonishment of the people below and the admiration of the cultivators did not affect her in the slightest.
A pair of clear eyes followed the streak of light on the divination plate in mid-air, finally turning to look outside the city: "Is the north the advantage?"
However, her expression immediately changed, as the divination results gradually became more and more unpredictable.
"A terrible omen?" A hint of doubt flashed in Yan Xuehen's eyes. The Creation and Evolution Technique had never been like this before, making it difficult to discern good or bad fortune.
If she weren't familiar with this method, she might even doubt that she had made a mistake.
She simply couldn't understand what in this world could threaten her, unless Emperor Zhao Hao himself came, or the Demon Emperor arrived, but how could that be possible?
She pondered for a moment, then her figure vanished suddenly in mid-air, as if she had never existed.
The many ordinary people who came to admire her figure rubbed their eyes and said, "It really is a divine manifestation."
Xiao Yao frowned. He had just secretly locked his aura onto the other person, hoping to use the other person to lead the way so that he could also find the escaped Yu Yanluo.
Unfortunately, he also lost sight of the other person in that instant. No matter how he searched, he couldn't find a trace of their presence, as if everything had just been an illusion.
Xiao Yao remained silent. It seemed that the gap between himself and a Grandmaster was greater than he had imagined.
After this incident, he no longer had the urge to test his sword.
Dozens of miles away, a white figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air. Yan Xuehen, dressed in a flowing white dress, stood in the air and began to search the surrounding area with her divine sense.
Although the art of creation and evolution is wondrous, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, so each time the instructions are only vague and cannot accurately calculate the other party's location.
But that's enough. With her Grandmaster-level abilities, it won't take long to find the other party through a thorough, step-by-step search.
Especially now that the suburbs are sparsely populated and not as noisy as Cloud City, it is much easier to find things.
Meanwhile, Zu'an, led by Yu Yanluo, had arrived at a canyon at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain.
There are guards patrolling the canyon; they are all members of the Yu family.
Yu Yanluo said, "If we go any further in, we'll reach the Yu family's mine. Let's sneak in; I don't want to implicate them."
She enjoys unparalleled prestige and popularity in the Yu family. If Xu Yu's people come to investigate, they will certainly not reveal her whereabouts, but they will face official censure or even severe torture for it.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to keep these people in the dark from the very beginning.
Zuan smiled and said, "People only think Medusa is vicious, but they don't know that you have such a kind heart."
“My mother wasn’t fierce either. Although I didn’t spend much time with her, I still have a vague memory of her.” Yu Yanluo said with some dissatisfaction, clearly trying to defend Medusa.
“I was being too attached to appearances. Every race has good and bad people,” Zaun nodded. “I suppose it’s because Medusa’s eyes can petrify anyone who sees her that everyone is so afraid of her and has created such a terrifying image for you.”
"There's nothing we can do about it." Having lived in human society for so long, Yu Yanluo naturally understands how deeply ingrained these ideas are, and how difficult it is to change them.
Thinking about this, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He glanced back at Cloud City, his eyes filled with deep longing.
Zuan guessed what she was thinking and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to bring you back."
Yu Yanluo smiled and said, "Thank you."
Because she had been frowning all along, her sudden smile created a strong contrast and visual impact.
Even Zuan, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was stunned: "In previous years, you were the most beautiful woman in the world. Next, you will probably amaze the demon race. You are probably the first person in history to do both at the same time."
Yu Yanluo lightly punched him with her pink fist and said reproachfully, "What time is it? Why are you still making fun of me?"
The two walked inside chatting and laughing. It was freezing cold outside, and the place was in a remote location. It was also nighttime. Although there were guards here, it was impossible to be completely impenetrable.
With their cultivation levels, sneaking in would not have been difficult.
As the two walked inside, Zuan noticed many wooden houses on both sides, with faint lights visible inside and the aroma of food wafting through the air.
"Are there villages and towns here?" Zu'an asked curiously.
Yu Yanluo explained, "Excavating mineral veins requires not only miners, but also a large number of logistics support personnel. Various supplies also need to be gathered and distributed here. At first, everyone built some houses on their own, but later the Yu family built various houses for everyone. This place is mainly for miners and various staff members."
