Two figures appeared, they were two female cultivators!

They drifted gracefully, as beautiful as flowers!

The two were indeed the Taihuang Holy Land's Saintess, Su Yunke, and her junior sister, He Yi'er!

"Junior Sister, where did you get this Transmission Array Map?" Su Yunke asked in astonishment.

*Her junior sister had grown up in Taihuang Holy Land since she was a child and had never ventured out.*

*Where did she get a Transmission Array Map from?*

Furthermore, this Transmission Array Map had astonishingly transported the two of them directly from the Central Continent to the Inner Sea Coast of the South Continent.

This distance was nearly tens of thousands of miles!

If they had relied on Profound Qi to travel by foot, it would have taken several days to cross!

Not to mention that this Transmission Array Map also contained the coordinates of the South Continent!

This indicated that someone had been to the South Continent, which was why there were these coordinates!

"This was bestowed upon me by the Saint Master before his departure, that's right! "

"The Saint Master also gave me some treasures for self-defense!

I'll take them out for you to see, you can pick some!" He Yi'er replied.

She put away the Array Map and was about to take out the treasures.

Su Yunke stopped her.

"Since they were bestowed by the master, you should keep them.

Besides, I also have treasures given by the master for protection, I don't need yours!" she said.

The Saint Master of Taihuang Holy Land had bestowed upon her two treasures before her departure!

To protect her while also helping her better complete the trial of Ascension!

"Okay, all right." He Yi'er nodded.

Su Yunke's eyes flickered, she had a feeling that something was amiss.

Some treasures...

"Junior Sister, how many treasures did the master give you?"

Looking at how generously He Yi'er was sharing her treasures, if it were just one or two, she surely wouldn't be this generous!

*"Could it be that the master gave her a lot of treasures?"* she thought to herself.

Then He Yi'er responded to her!

"Probably a dozen or so, but if you include the Array Map, Elixirs, things like that.

It's about fifty or sixty! Senior Sister, you should have about the same, right?" He Yi'er pondered aloud.

Fifty or sixty...

Su Yunke was stunned.

For a moment, she didn't know how to describe her feelings!

He Yi'er was her junior sister; her talent in cultivation and level of cultivation were not higher than her own.

Moreover, she was the Taihuang Holy Land's Saintess and the disciple of the Taihuang Holy Land Saint Master.

He Yi'er was not!

*"Why would the master bestow so many treasures to Junior Sister?"* Su Yunke couldn't understand!

If she hadn't lived in Taihuang Holy Land and known about her junior sister He Yi'er's background,

she would have really suspected if He Yi'er was the master's daughter.

After all, besides a daughter, how else would someone be granted dozens of treasures at once?

*"Could it be that the master has other plans?"*

Regarding He Yi'er's comment that they were about the same...

Su Yunke initially wanted to say there was a vast difference, but recalling the master's always mysterious nature,

the master giving so many treasures to He Yi'er certainly wasn't without reason.

"Yes, about the same!" Su Yunke replied. "Junior Sister, now that we've arrived in the area controlled by the Demon Clan in the South Continent, we must be careful!

Because here, it is extremely dangerous!"

She changed the subject and reminded He Yi'er.

He Yi'er looked serious.

"Senior Sister, I know.

The Demon Clan is ferocious and cunning.

I will definitely remain vigilant, protect myself, and not drag you down!"

Drag down...

*"Even if Junior Sister's cultivation is not as high as mine, possessing dozens of treasures,*

*if she were to unleash them randomly, she might surpass me!*

*Not dragging her down would already be quite good!" Su Yunke thought.*

She didn't voice these thoughts; otherwise, it would have hurt her dignity as a senior sister too much, so she merely nodded slightly to indicate.

"Let's go in, make haste to reach the Ascension trial location, and complete the task." Su Yunke said.

"Okay."

The two of them plunged into the woods by the Inner Sea Coast of the South Continent, heading directly for the location recorded for the trial.

Along their path right after they left, several figures appeared on the trees behind them.

These were individuals from the Central Continent, lying in ambush here, preparing to assassinate Yang Yan!

"It's the Saintess of Taihuang Holy Land!"

"They arrived quite quickly; completing the Ascension trial shouldn't be difficult for them!"

"We didn't just give them the simplest task; we also arranged a path for them.

No demon beasts to block them, a direct path to the trial location!

In general terms, it's not just easy, it should be said to be a breeze!"

They each spoke, as if they all knew clearly what the Taihuang Holy Land's Saintess and He Yi'er's Ascension trial was about.

"Allowing them to complete such an easy task, isn't it too much?

Don't forget, the Taihuang Holy Land is within Dongzhou's territory.

They take orders from Yang Yan!"

"Taihuang Holy Land and Yang Yan are not of one mind; their Saint Master is exalted and doesn't listen to even that one's words, why would they take orders from Yang Yan!"

"Indeed, and besides, Yang Yan is about to die."

"The Saint Master of Taihuang Holy Land is tremendously powerful; she spoke!

We are doing her a favor; it's only appropriate!

As long as they're not first, it doesn't matter!"

"Yes, hopefully, the Saint Master of Taihuang Holy Land won't meddle in Yang Yan's affairs, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"That's right, we've already learned the Taihuang Saint Master's weak points!

Dealing with her has become much easier!"

"This time she let that girl out, likely for some arrangement, right?"

"Maybe she's coming to her senses!"

Their words were entirely unheard by He Yi'er and Su Yunke.

The two continued forward, cutting through thick forests.

Aside from encountering a few small demon beasts blocking the way, they proceeded unimpeded.

"Junior Sister, I feel something's amiss!" Su Yunke suddenly stopped and said.

Her face was impassive as she surveyed her surroundings.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" He Yi'er stopped as well, asking in confusion.

She hadn't noticed anything unusual!

"This is the territory where the Demon Clan of the South Continent gathers, and we've gone so deep, and yet we haven't encountered even one Dragon Transformation Realm demon beast.

Don't you find that very strange?" Su Yunke said.

"Strange? What's strange about it, Senior Sister?

I think it's great!

Without any danger, we'll be able to easily complete the task and ascend alongside Yang Saint Emperor!" He Yi'er said finally, beaming with joy.

In her heart, He Yi'er had a blind admiration and adoration for Yang Yan!

This was a thought that had sprouted in her mind ever since they met after leaving Taihuang Holy Land!

And now it had only grown deeper and more entrenched!

Su Yunke held her forehead, she had long understood her junior sister's feelings.

Just...

"Junior Sister, I checked before coming, every time there's a Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle.

The Demon Clan's geniuses from the South Continent also have a task for Ascension.

Which is to slay the Human Clan's geniuses!

It's always been like this in past years, so it probably won't be any different this year.

However, we've traveled all this way and haven't come across a single Demon Clan genius!

This makes me have to think they already knew we entered the South Continent, so they set traps ahead, waiting for us to walk right in." she explained.

He Yi'er furrowed her delicate brows.

"Senior Sister, hearing you say this, I also think there's a possibility of that!

Then, Senior Sister, what do you think we should do next?

I've never been out for training, so I'll follow all your arrangements!"

Su Yunke contemplated it.

"We should advance in a curved path, to confuse them and prevent them from pinpointing our ambush location!

Though it might delay our task slightly, it's much safer!"

"Okay, Senior Sister, I'll follow your lead!"

"Follow me!"

Su Yunke led He Yi'er, moving parallel for several miles, then advancing a bit, turning left, and then right...

Repeating this unpredictably.

Finally, they halted, looking at the demon beasts of the Demon Clan before them with changed expressions.

"Junior Sister, it's an ambush.

Run!" Su Yunke shouted loudly.
