A hundred miles away, in a remote mountain area.
This place is sparsely populated and overgrown with weeds; only the occasional beast roar broke the silence.
Three figures descended from the sky and landed in a remote valley.
The woman in black released her grip, and David and Yun Yao fell to the ground.
Yun Yao collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his body was covered in blood, and his face was extremely weak.
The palm strike just now caused severe internal injuries to him; if not for his strong willpower, he might have fainted long ago.
Even though David’s face was pale, he still stood straight. He took a deep breath, channeled his remaining spiritual energy, and calmed his mind.
His gaze fell on the woman in black, full of observation and vigilance.
“Who are you?”
He asked coldly, his hand already secretly grasping the hilt of his sword.
Even though the other party saved him, after experiencing betrayal from the temple, he no longer dared to trust anyone easily.
The woman in black looked at him but did not answer immediately; he just observed it quietly.
A moment later, he suddenly spoke, his voice icy: “Why do you have the aura of the devil race?”
David frowned.
Demonic aura?
A thought crossed his mind, and he remembered Ming Li.
Ming Li is a member of the ghost race. Having followed him for a long time, it was natural that he had some of the ghost’s aura about him.
“I have a friend who is a devil.”
He said calmly, “Who exactly are you?”
A look of realization flashed across the black-clothed woman’s eyes, and she nodded slightly: “I understand.”
She paused, then slowly said, “My name is Yunxi, a princess of the Ghost Clan.”
After hearing that, David and Yun Yao’s expressions changed.
A demon princess?
The woman continued, “I come from the fifteenth heaven.”
David’s pupils narrowed.
Fifteenth Heaven?
It was a legendary place, one level higher than the Fourteenth Heaven, said to be a gathering place for extremely powerful individuals.
Those who can descend from the upper realm are not ordinary people.
“Why did you save me?” David asked in a deep voice, his alertness increasing.
Yunxi looked at him and said calmly, “I sensed traces of the Reincarnation Gate on Fifteenth Heaven, so I followed the aura here. When I got here, the aura disappeared, but I sensed the Ghost Clan’s aura on you. I thought you were related to my Ghost Clan, so I acted to save you.”
He paused, his gaze fell on David’s face: “Now it seems that the aura was left by your friend from the ghost clan. Since you have a past with the ghost clan, of course I will not stand by and watch you die.”
David was silent for a moment, then slowly released his grip on the sword.
Although what he said was a bit unreasonable, at least for now, it seemed he meant no harm.
There is also the Gate of Reincarnation, which Ming Li once used. Even though it had now been taken, Ming Li should still carry a trace of the aura of the Reincarnation Gate on him.
“Thank you,” he said in a deep voice.
Yunxi shook his head: “No need. I’m just repaying you.”
He turned around and looked into the distance, as if he could see through the layers of clouds and mist all the way to the legendary fifteenth heaven.
“This sudden appearance of the Reincarnation Gate’s aura is suspect. I need to investigate. Take care of yourselves.”
After saying that, he turned around to leave.
David suddenly spoke up: “Wait a minute.”
Yunxi stopped and turned to look at him.
David looked at him and said in a deep voice, “The people from the Divine Hall are still chasing me. You saved me and Yun Yao, and I will remember this kindness. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you.”
Yunxi’s lips curved upwards slightly, revealing a faint smile: “No need. I just did it spontaneously. However”
He paused for a moment, his gaze fell on David, a deep meaning flashed through his eyes.
“The bloodline in your veins is extraordinary. Live well, don’t die here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and turned into a black beam of light, disappearing into the vast sky.
David watched the streak of light disappear into the distance, and was silent for a long time.
Yun Yao struggled to her feet, walked to his side, and whispered, “Young Master, is what she said true? The Princess of the Ghost Clan from Fifteenth Heaven?”
David shook his head: “I don’t know. But he did save us. And the aura of the Reincarnation Gate he mentioned does exist.”
David didn’t tell Yunxi about the Gate of Reincarnation because he wasn’t sure about Yunxi’s identity yet.
If this matter were revealed now, it would most likely bring disaster to Mingli.
He turned around, looked at Yun Yao’s pale face, and frowned slightly.
“Put your injury first. We can talk about other things later.”
