Chapter 2305: Storm Eye

This was the women's first time experiencing such a thing. When they heard that, they became even more tense and stuck firmly to the people next to them.

Zu An was in the middle of all of them, surrounded by soft and sweet-smelling bodies. Every one of them felt different to the touch. Some were soft like cotton, while others were well-proportioned. They all had unique fragrances too. If it were another man here, even if they didn’t faint from the chaotic streams of nothingness, they would be lost in this feeling of softness and tenderness.

But Zu An didn’t have the leisure to enjoy these things. Instead, he focused his attention on sensing the surrounding chaos and spatial fluctuations. This kind of interstellar transport formation was rare, so he couldn't miss such a good chance to experience it up close.

The spatial current was extremely chaotic and unstable. If he accidentally touched it, he'd risk being obliterated on the spot. However, the whole group was enveloped by a special power. This was most likely due to the effects of the Four Symbols Stones and the transport formation allowing them to safely swim through the void.

He tried to extend his divine sense to explore the surrounding s.p.a.ce, but it seemed to dissipate into an endless void. With his current cultivation, his divine sense already covered an extremely wide area, and yet this was the result. It could only mean one thing, which was that this place was already beyond the limits of s.p.a.ce and time.

Sometimes, powerful auras pa.s.sed by. The women's faces became really pale. Those weren't beings they could contend against at all.

Zu An tried to comfort them and said, “Don’t worry. Those are likely the so-called void monsters. We're protected by the formation’s power, so they can’t sense us.”

The Baopu Sutra had some info about these creatures. If they didn’t rely on a transport formation and tried to move through the cosmos like this by relying on their own bodies, not only would the journey take an eternity, they would also run into all sorts of frightening void monsters.

Xie Daoyun grew nervous. “This is the first time I've repaired such a large-scale formation. I wonder if anything bad will end up happening.”

When he saw her grab the corners of her dress nervously, Zu An said with a smile, “You're a genius in the field of talismans and formations, and you’ve done very well. I’ve taken a look at it too. There are no problems with this formation.”

When she heard him say that, Xie Daoyun felt relieved.

Sensing the others' unease, Zu An realized that the more quiet the environment was, the easier it became to have negative thoughts. Furthermore, if he wasn’t mistaken, this journey would take a bit longer than expected. They were traveling through the cosmos, after all.

As such, he found a topic to talk about; he asked Pei Mianman, “Manman, we’ve been busy all this time and I almost forgot to ask you why you were at the Yun clan's residence. How did you end up becoming the Yun clan’s saintess?”

The other women also looked at her curiously. They hadn't thought she would have a connection with the saintess too.

Meanwhile, Pei Mianman was feeling a bit unhappy because she had always been alone with Zu An, but now she could only watch as he hugged other women.

When she heard what he said, she snapped out of her daze and replied, “I was cultivating in seclusion in Jadefall Palace when I suddenly received a letter. It said it had information about my mother. Even though I knew it was strange, I decided to do a bit of investigating.”

Zu An knew the circ.u.mstances of her mother’s death had always been strange, and that she had spent a long time investigating it. When they were at the Pei manor, they had learned that her mother’s grave was plundered and that her remains were missing. He had even used the Embroidered Envoy’s information network to help with her search, but there were no results.

This had ended up becoming something that always bothered Pei Mianman. It was no wonder that she hadn't been able to hold back her curiosity after receiving a potential lead.

“Later, I went to the Demon race’s Yun clan following the information and found out my mother’s real ident.i.ty. She was actually from the Demon race, and she was even the sister of the late Yun Clan Master.” Pei Mianman sighed. She wasn’t actually that surprised that the Demon race’s bloodline was involved. After all, she had that strange black flame from her bloodline, which didn’t seem like a human power no matter how she thought about it. That was why she'd already had her guesses about her background. After going through all of this, she was actually calmer than she'd initially expected.

Yun Yuqing couldn't help but give her a second look.

She is my aunt’s child after all. That means we're actually cousins. I didn’t expect the two of us to end up liking the same man. Fate really loves to toy with us.

Okay, I definitely have to consult her in private later, and find out what she ate to grow that big.

Meanwhile, Xie Daoyun was worried. Chu First Miss had little sisters, the Pei clan had sisters, and even Xiaoxi had her little aunt helping her.

I’m the only one who's all alone. I feel as if I’m really at a disadvantage…

No, I have a little brother! But Xie Xiu is completely unreliable. He only knows how to come up with rotten ideas.

When she remembered how her little brother had told her to be a bit more proactive, Xie Daoyun’s cheeks reddened.

“Was it the Yun Clan Master or the True Demon Emissary who wrote you that letter?” Zu An asked. He just felt that the one who had written the letter seemed to know a bit too much.

“Neither.” Pei Mianman shook her head. “I thought it was them at first too, but after interacting with them, I found out that they didn’t know about this. They were both really excited to learn that I had Yun clan blood. It was all because I wanted to learn more about my mother that I agreed to become this saintess. Fortunately, you arrived in time, or else I would have been in danger.”

“Neither?” Zu An was a bit surprised. “Then who sent the letter?”

“I don’t know either.” Pei Mianman frowned slightly. “I did find out my real background when I came to the Yun clan, but my mother’s remains are still missing. I wanted to find the one who sent me the letter and ask for the truth, but they seem to have vanished without a trace… No, to be more precise, it’s almost as if they never existed in this world.”

“Did Jadefall Palace’s side investigate?” Zu An asked with a frown.

“The sect leader and master also had similar suspicions. They checked everyone in the sect, but they didn’t notice anything. It’s almost as if it really was like I just said. Other than the letter itself, it's as if the sender never existed.” Pei Mianman also found this ridiculous. “Even though I learned quite a bit by following what the letter said and came to the Yun clan, I didn’t find the sender at all.”

Suolun s.h.i.+ couldn't help but say, “Anyone who could accomplish this much would have to be extremely familiar with the Demon race, and also have extremely high cultivation. They might even be close to big brother Zu’s cultivation rank. Is there really someone like that?”

Zu An also frowned. He had just asked about the subject rather casually. He hadn’t expected to receive an answer like this. He felt a slight sense of unease, as if he'd overlooked something. He wondered if it would end up endangering them on this trip to the Monster World.

His eyes suddenly widened while he was thinking. Solid ground suddenly appeared beneath their feet, leaving the women surprised. It seemed they had reached their destination.

The chaotic streams gradually retreated, and their surroundings gradually appeared. The group was stunned. They seemed to be inside a small-scale underground fort, surrounded by st.u.r.dy layers of rock and earth. Even though they were underground, however, it wasn’t pitch-black. There were small-scale illumination formations here. There was also a formation above their heads that revealed the landscape outside.

On the surface, there was wind everywhere! There was nothing protruding from the ground. Any towering mountains had already been flattened by the wind, let alone things like trees and plants. There were no rivers or lakes either. All the water had been swept up into the sky. On top of that, there was a giant red eye that covered the whole sky, seeming to extend limitlessly into the horizon.

“What kind of monster is that? Why are its eyes so big?!” Ji Xiaoxi’s face immediately paled.

The other women were also quite alarmed. The great pressure made them fully experience what it meant to fear giant things.

“That isn’t a monster, but rather a storm that covers this entire world,” Zu An slowly said with a grave expression.
