At the top floor of the Phoenix Pavilion, behind the Hundred Spirits Pavilion where red flowers covered the ground, a red-clad young girl leaned on a long chair, her legs shaking impatiently. The small silver bells tied with a red string on her ankle jingled as she moved her golden silk-wrapped feet.

Beside her, a black-clad woman trembled slightly and took a deep breath before nodding helplessly, "The young master has just arrived in Western Province City. He might need to take the girls he brought for a stroll and some fun in the city first."

"Several girls?"

The sound of the silver bells behind the curtain suddenly stopped.

The red-clad girl sat up straight, tucking her feet under her split long skirt. Her beautiful golden phoenix eyes narrowed slightly behind her red phoenix mask.

"What do you mean by several girls? Last time he only brought a somewhat silly village girl named Yunjin, didn't he?"

The girl seemed to have found a point of interest and asked curiously.

However, as she finished speaking, the black-clad woman lowered her eyebrows. Out of sight of the master of the Hundred Spirits Pavilion, Jin Jie was in a difficult position due to the purple evil mark on her thigh.

She really wanted to tell her young master that her nephew had an orgy in the Azure Forest, and that naive and innocent girl was actually the least to worry about!

"I'm asking you! Tell me, which new girl did you see Yino bring?" she pressed.

"Um... there was another one, with a red double ponytail, wearing a blood-red Western-style dress and white knee-high stockings. As for her figure, it's probably similar to yours, Master," Jin Jie recalled the red foxgirl and described her as best she could.

However, due to Yino's evil technique, she dared not directly reveal the true identity of the fox demon.

"Western-style red dress, double ponytail, and a figure similar to mine?"

Behind the curtain, the golden-haired girl raised an eyebrow. She first pinched her own face and then looked down at her own Western-style red dress.

Apart from the hair color, the biggest difference was that Xinyao usually didn't like to wear stockings.

She was a phoenix spirit transformed from a phoenix, and in her ancestral genes, her legs were originally claws used for hunting and grasping branches. Thus, Xinyao rarely wore stockings unless she was in a formal setting such as the Grand Tutor's Mansion where she had to wear stockings as a human.

"Jin Jie, do you think I should also get a pair of stockings to wear?"

At some point, the phoenix girl suddenly voiced a question filled with a lack of confidence.

Jin Jie's lips twitched, but upon reflection, the two foxes around Yino, including his sword master senior sister, did seem to like wearing stockings.

"Actually, Master, I think you shouldn't wear stockings. You are naturally beautiful with your phoenix claws, which are not comparable to the legs of those ordinary women who need stockings to enhance their appearance," Jin Jie said calmly.

After she finished speaking, the red-clad girl behind the curtain crossed her legs and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Hey, when did you become so smooth-tongued, Jin Jie?"

[Because your nephew forced me to be...]

"So, you're saying that little rascal found a girl in the Wuji Sect who dresses and even has a figure similar to mine. Could it be that he's trying to find my shadow in someone else?" The red-clad girl sighed, feeling a bit melancholy.

"???????"

Jin Jie frowned, full of question marks.

[But the true identity of that fox is no less significant than yours, Master...]

...

"Strange..."

"There's no sign of human habitation on this mountain peak at all!"

The white dragon girl stood on the mountain top, looking around but could not see any signs of human life.

She was puzzled until the earring on her ear began to glow. The white dragon girl suddenly realized and widened her golden dragon eyes.

[Your Majesty, it seems you were deceived.]

"Ehhh?"

Nina blinked her golden dragon eyes, recalling the white-clad young man who had given her directions at the foot of Wuji Peak.

"But... why would he deceive me?"

[I don't know. This is what they call the treachery of human hearts.]

The voice from the earring, which sounded mature and charming, seemed to find it amusing and laughed softly.

At that moment, the white dragon girl's eyebrows twitched and her fists clenched.

"How despicable..."

"What's wrong with the world today?"

"He swore to me that he was a professional righteous cultivator and that he would never deceive ordinary people!"

[Your Majesty, you are not an ordinary person...]

"Ah!"

The teacher's words hit the mark, making the already angry white dragon girl freeze again.

She felt that any more angry words would be meaningless, so she took a deep breath and pretended to dismiss the matter lightly.

"Forget it. The world is so big, and there are thousands of righteous cultivators in the Great Dragon Dynasty. It's normal for a few bad apples to appear."

The white dragon girl let out a sigh of frustration and jumped down from the mountain top, heading back towards Wuji Peak.

However, Nina noticed that it was almost dark.

This time, she didn't bother to walk and simply transformed into a white light, flying straight towards Wuji Peak.

"Ranmo Peak... Ranmo Peak..."

"Right, the book says that Ranmo Peak is a black and white snow peak, which is why it's called Ranmo."

"That must be the tallest and thinnest one to the north!"

...

Western Province City, City Lord's Mansion.

Many true disciples of the Wuji Sect who had responded to the Immortal Alliance's call gathered together today.

In front of the many righteous cultivators, besides a middle-aged man who appeared to be the city lord, the one who held more authority was a beautiful young woman in a Western-style nun's dress. Her eyes were covered with a black silk cloth. She was a holy maiden of the Western Church.

Her name was Yunmei. According to the city lord's introduction to the many cultivators, Yunmei was now one of the most influential holy maidens in the Western Church.

Yes, this was the Western Region, where the Western Church was far more popular than the Central Plains' orthodox religion.

Among the many righteous cultivators, Yuyan was also seated in the line.

She stared at the holy maiden and saw her perform some prayer rituals. Finally, she turned to face the crowd of true disciples and faced Yuyan.

"The prophecy says that as the demon abyss approaches, two people chosen by fate will save the people of this city."

"First, fate has favored a female sword immortal."

As soon as she said this, facing the direction where the holy maiden was looking, many true disciples of the Wuji Sect instinctively focused their gaze on Yuyan.

Everyone knew who the fated sword immortal was here!

The real key was that this highly respected holy maiden of the Western Church seemed to say that there was another fated person who could fight alongside the sword immortal.

Thinking of this, many male disciples rubbed their hands together eagerly.

"The second fated person is a bit vague in the prophecy..."

"I couldn't clearly see his face in the prophecy, but from the outline of the shadow, I know that he will be a young, handsome, responsible, and compassionate young man who has a destiny comparable to that of a sword immortal!"

With such a vague description from the holy maiden, all the disciples present widened their eyes and smiled, each secretly identifying themselves with the description.
