Ji Xiao was bent over by the sudden pressure, and he mobilized all his strength to resist it.
But faced with the overwhelming pressure of the vast and boundless mountain, his power was like an insignificant grain of sand, unable to budge it in the slightest.
As Junyu pressed his hand down little by little, Jixiao's legs began to tremble.
Everyone in the main hall, except for Ruan Xiyan, was struggling to breathe under the terrifying pressure.
Even if the pressure wasn't directed at them, the residual force was enough to make it hard for them to breathe.
Ruan Xiyan placed her hand over Jun Yu's hand, indicating that he was ready.
Jun Yu obediently withdrew the oppressive aura emanating from his body.
Ji Xiao gasped for breath, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
This man is incredibly powerful! No! You could even say he's reached an extremely terrifying level, unlike anything he's ever seen before.
Even from the sect leader, he had never felt such intense pressure.
"Do you still think I can't protect Ayan?" Jun Yu asked calmly.
Ji Xiao quickly shook his head, saying that those who know when to yield are the wise ones.
He didn't necessarily want to stay by Sect Leader Ruan's side; it was just that the sect leader had given him the order to protect Sect Leader Ruan, and he had no choice but to obey.
Now that Sect Master Ruan has such a powerful figure by his side, he no longer needs to worry about her safety after she goes to the Twilight Thunder Sect.
After finishing their conversation, Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu left the main hall, and she led Jun Yu on a stroll through the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Ruan Xiyan said with great interest, "The land behind the Illusionary Hidden Sect is very suitable for planting peach trees, so I planted a peach grove there."
“That peach orchard is beautiful. I was thinking of taking Ah Yu to see it when he comes back. It’s the season when the peaches are ripe. I’ll take Ah Yu to see it.”
Looking at the lively expression on Ruan Xiyan's face, Jun Yu's eyes were full of affection. "Okay."
The area behind the mountain, which was originally a barren place, is now filled with peach trees.
The ground was covered with fallen peach blossoms. Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu walked on the path covered with peach petals, their eyes filled with smiles.
Seeing the large peaches on a peach tree ahead, Ruan Xiyan reached out and picked one. "These peaches are so juicy and delicious."
Ruan Xiyan took out a handkerchief, wiped the peach, and handed it to Jun Yu, "Try it."
Looking at the peaches extended in front of him, Junyu smiled and took them, saying, "I must try the peaches that Ayan grew."
Junyu took a bite and said, "Delicious."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They sat undisturbed in the peach grove, enjoying their time together.
As the sun set, Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu headed to the dining hall of the Illusionary Hidden Sect to have their dinner.
When the passing disciples saw Ruan Xiyan, they all bowed and greeted her, "Greetings, Sect Master."
The disciples who had recently arrived at the Illusionary Hidden Sect were all shocked, watching the handsome man accompanying Ruan Xiyan.
Only after Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu had walked away did they dare to whisper among themselves, "Could that man be the sect leader's sweetheart?!"
"They're holding hands, there's no doubt about it."
"But I can't sense any strength from this man. Is he some gigolo who lives off a woman?"
"Our sect leader is a young genius who founded the Illusionary Concealment Sect. He is so heroic and valiant, and he doesn't even blink when fighting against experts in the Supreme Realm. Moreover, he is a noble eighth-grade alchemist."
“No matter how outstanding a man is, our sect leader is worthy of him. Why would he choose a pretty boy?” The disciple spoke arrogantly, defending Ruan Xiyan.
"This face is beautiful. Not to mention the sect leader likes it, I'm afraid no woman in the world could resist such a handsome face."
“Our sect leader is not bad-looking either.”
"Hey! Putting aside their strength, just looking at the two of them together, they're such a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
"......"
They were having a lively discussion, unaware that everything they said was overheard by Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu.
With their strength, this distance was more than enough for them to hear what they were saying clearly.
Ruan Xiyan chuckled.
Junyu smiled helplessly, "Ayan, is it that funny?"
Ruan Xiyan turned her head and cupped Jun Yu's face in her hands. "Ayu, how many times have you been called a pretty boy? It seems that sometimes being too strong can be a troublesome thing."
Ah Yu is very strong; he can completely conceal his aura, without letting it leak out at all.
Even top experts might not be able to detect it, let alone ordinary disciples of the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
Jun Yu placed his palm over Ruan Xiyan's palm, "Even if I'm a gigolo, I'm only Ayan's gigolo."
Ruan Xiyan smiled, but before she could say anything, she heard a teasing voice coming from above.
"Oh my! Sect Master, the way you and your young master are being so lovey-dovey is sickening."
Ruan Xiyan looked up and saw Huo Yao sitting on the roof. "Elder Huo, why did you get on the roof?"
"I ate too much, so I came up to admire the moon and digest my food," Huo Yao replied.
I finally managed to digest the food, but seeing their sweet and cloying appearance made me feel full again.
He's getting old, and he can't stand the way young people act all lovey-dovey these days.
Huo Yao waved to Ruan Xiyan, "Hurry up and have dinner, or you might get full later."
Ruan Xiyan understood Huo Yao's teasing tone and smiled, "Elder Huo, please enjoy the moon. We'll take our leave now."
Just as Ruan Xiyan was about to leave, Huo Yao called her back again.
"Sect Master, you are setting off for the Twilight Thunder Sect tomorrow. Remember to be careful, even though you have this young master by your side."
"But the Twilight Thunder Sect is a top-tier power on the continent, and there must be many powerful figures within the sect. We cannot be careless."
"I have taken Huo Lao's reminder to heart."
After finishing their dinner, Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu returned to their respective residences to rest.
Early the next morning, Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu prepared to set off for Mulei Sect.
“Xi Yan, the Twilight Thunder Sect is indeed a dangerous place. Let me go with you so we can look after each other,” Luo Wanyin said.
"Although I am not as strong as Xi Yan, with my Ten Thousand Poisons Holy Body, I can still protect Xi Yan from danger."
Yu Qiqi chimed in, "Sister Yan, Wanwan is right. In a place like the Twilight Thunder Sect, having more people means having more options."
"Even if a conflict does break out, Wanwan's poison can cause widespread damage, which will definitely give the people of the Twilight Thunder Sect a hard time!"
"Moreover, with Elder Mu Ze and I keeping an eye on the Illusionary Hidden Sect, nothing will go wrong."
Ruan Xiyan thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."
Previously, Wanwan could only stay in the Illusionary Hidden Sect because of her Ten Thousand Poisons Body. Now, her Ten Thousand Poisons Body has been transformed into the Ten Thousand Poisons Saint Body.
Now that the hidden dangers within my body have been resolved, I really should go out and travel more, to see more of the mainland, so as not to get bored in the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
