Hu Yingluo gradually became more familiar with the other women. After all, being women themselves, they certainly weren’t short of gossip topics, most of which revolved around Yingluo’s life in Britain.
Xiao Yufan was once again left aside. He had long grown accustomed to this situation. Fortunately, Sister Shi Yun and Liu Hua remained by his side, preventing him from feeling overly awkward.
Hu Yingluo gradually became familiar with the other women, as they were all women and gossip was never in short supply. Naturally, most of the conversations revolved around Yingluo’s life in England.
Xiao Yufan was once again left aside, but he was already accustomed to such situations. Fortunately, Sister Shiyun and Liu Hua remained by his side, preventing him from feeling too awkward.
His strength had now stabilized at the Condensed Power Realm, and the solidity of his internal energy was no less than that of those who had been in this realm for a long time.
This gave him even more confidence for the upcoming Ancient Martial Arts Conference. Although the hidden Guo family had not extended an invitation to him, the Tian Alliance was among the invitees, so his participation was justified.
“I wonder what level the Dragon Control Art has reached now…”
His eyes burned with intensity. Xiao Yufan’s greatest reliance at the moment was the Dragon Control Art within him. This extraordinary technique greatly enhanced his internal energy and strength. Once unleashed during a fight, it would undoubtedly catch his opponents off guard.
Previously, at the mid-stage of Condensed Energy, the Dragon Control Art had reached the second level. Now, it was probably not far from the fourth level. Thinking of this, the smile on his face deepened. Strength was always of paramount importance.
Just as Xiao Yufan was enjoying his quiet life, on the snowy mountains of northwest China…
Three figures stood with their hands behind their backs, their natural aura almost merging with the heavens and earth. The icy wind had no effect on them, and the mist added an air of mystery.
“Fourth Brother, how is the task I assigned you? We’ve waited for decades. If we don’t return soon, we might be stuck here forever!”
One of the three, a middle-aged man, glanced at the man beside him and spoke slowly. His deep eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and under his gaze, even the man he called Fourth Brother couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
“Although those fools from the hidden Guo family are not strong, they are good at creating momentum. Now, everyone’s attention is likely focused on the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, which will make our actions much easier.”
“If that’s the case, then it’s all the better. We’ve waited too long and can’t afford to wait any longer.”
The middle-aged man seemed lost in thought. Having been in this world for so long, they had tried countless times to return to their own world, but to no avail. Their once calm hearts were no longer at peace.
“Yes, if it weren’t for the sparse spiritual energy in this world, Big Brother would have already broken through and taken us back. We wouldn’t have to work so hard to find the remnants of the teleportation array left in this world…”
The only woman among the three, who had been very quiet, murmured softly. This world was not theirs to begin with. If they hadn’t accidentally stumbled here, none of this would have happened.
“Big Brother has been in seclusion for so long. He must be making his final effort. If he succeeds, we have a chance to leave this wretched place. If he fails, we’ll have to find another way.”
They were well aware of their current predicament. Having spent decades in this place, they were already weary of it. Moreover, if they couldn’t break through their current realm soon, they would eventually face the inevitable end.
“As long as no one pays attention to us this time, it should be much easier to act. Previously, some of China’s guardian temples had us under tight surveillance, especially after the commotion we caused when we targeted the hidden Situ family.”
Apart from waiting for Big Brother to break through, the three of them had never been idle. They had once received information that the hidden Situ family might possess a lost teleportation array. Having just arrived in this world, they chose to act. But it was that very incident that made them realize that even in a world with scarce spiritual energy, there were strong individuals who could rival them.
However, they did not get what they wanted. The hidden Situ family did not possess what they sought. It was also at that time that they were targeted by China’s numerous guardian temples. If not for that, they wouldn’t have fled to the snowy mountains of northwest China.
“Let’s hope those fools can be of some use. Otherwise, all our efforts would be in vain. Those guardian temple guys are really troublesome!”
The middle-aged man frowned. Their current situation was a dilemma. One wrong move could lead to disaster. Even with their transcendent strength, they couldn’t possibly take on all of China’s guardian temples. Fortunately, not everyone in these temples harbored hostility toward them.
The three soon fell into deep thought. Although they had not been involved with the hidden families and guardian temples for a long time, they knew that the current ancient martial arts families and the martial world were far more complex than before.
“Are we doing the right thing?”
The quiet woman, though exuding a cold aura, possessed a breathtaking beauty. Seeing her stunning profile, the two men beside her felt a stir in their hearts, though they did not show it.
“Third Sister, now is not the time for mercy. As long as we can return, sacrificing a few ants means nothing. Besides, if they had just obeyed, none of this would have happened.”
They doted on their Third Sister, and even the usually stern Second Brother showed a hint of a smile. But they also knew that her only flaw was her excessive soft-heartedness.
Along with their Big Brother, the four of them were sworn siblings. However, they had been tricked and ended up in this world. Their goal was to return to their original world. Apart from the unseen Big Brother Luo Lou, there was Second Brother Xiao Ding, Third Sister Yu Yiren, and Fourth Brother Li Xuan. Since arriving in this world, they had rarely been apart.
“But…” Yu Yiren sighed, swallowing her words. Although she had not directly participated in their actions, she felt a deep sense of guilt. In the eyes of Big Brother and Second Brother, were the people of this world merely stepping stones?
“Enough, don’t overthink it. As long as we can return, whatever we do is justified.”
A strange smile appeared on Xiao Ding’s lips. In his eyes, the lives of the people in this world were irrelevant. All he needed to do was find the teleportation array left from the ancient martial arts era and leave this place…
This gave him even more confidence regarding the upcoming Ancient Martial Arts Conference. Although the Hidden Guo family hadn’t extended him an invitation, the Tian Alliance was among those invited, so his participation was entirely justified.
“I wonder which level the Imperial Dragon True Art has reached now…”
His eyes gleamed with intensity. Xiao Yufan’s greatest advantage at this moment was undoubtedly the Imperial Dragon True Art circulating within him. This extraordinary technique significantly enhanced both his internal energy and strength. If unleashed during a confrontation, it would surely catch opponents completely off guard.
Hu Yingluo gradually became familiar with the other women. After all, they were all women, and gossip was never in short supply. Naturally, most of the conversations revolved around Yingluo’s life in England.
Xiao Yufan was once again left aside. He was no stranger to this situation, but fortunately, Sister Shiyun and Liu Hua stood by his side, preventing him from feeling too awkward.
His strength had now stabilized at the Condensed Power Realm, and the solidity of his internal energy was no less than that of those who had been in this realm for a long time.

Previously, when he was at the mid-level of the Condensed Energy stage, the Imperial Dragon True Art had reached the second level. Now, he was probably not far from the fourth level. Thinking of this, a smile spread across his face. Strength was always crucial, no matter the circumstances.
Just as Xiao Yufan was enjoying his quiet life, on the snowy mountains of northwest China…
Three figures stood with their hands behind their backs, their natural aura almost blending with the heavens and the earth. The icy wind had no effect on them, and the mist added an air of mystery.
“Fourth Brother, how is the task I assigned you? We’ve waited for decades. If we can’t return soon, we might be stuck here forever!”
One of the three, a middle-aged man, glanced at the man beside him and spoke slowly. His deep eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and under his gaze, even the man he called “Fourth Brother” couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
“Although the fools of the hidden Guo family aren’t particularly strong, they are good at creating momentum. Right now, everyone’s attention is likely focused on the Ancient Martial Arts Conference. This will make our actions much easier.”
“If that’s the case, then it’s for the best. We’ve waited too long, and we can’t afford to wait any longer.”
The middle-aged man seemed lost in thought. Having been in this world for so long, they had tried countless times to return to their own world, but to no avail. Their once calm hearts were no longer at peace.

“Big Brother has been in seclusion for so long. He must be making his final effort. If he succeeds, we have a chance to leave this wretched place. If he fails, we’ll have to find another way.”
They were well aware of their current predicament. Having been stuck in this wretched place for decades, they were long tired of it. Moreover, if they couldn’t break through their current realm soon, they would eventually face the problem of their lifespan running out.
“As long as no one pays attention to us this time, it should be much easier to act. Previously, some of China’s Guardian Temples had us under tight surveillance, especially after the commotion we caused when we targeted the hidden Situ family.”
Apart from waiting for Big Brother to break through, the three of them had never been idle. They had once received information that the hidden Situ family might possess a lost teleportation array. When they first arrived in this world, they chose to act. But it was that very incident that made them realize that even in a world with scarce spiritual energy, there were still strong individuals who could rival them.

“Let’s hope those fools can be of some use. Otherwise, all our efforts would be in vain. Those guys from the Guardian Temples are really troublesome!”
The middle-aged man frowned. Their current situation was a dilemma. One misstep, and they could easily capsize in the gutter. After all, even with their transcendent strength, they couldn’t possibly take on all of China’s Guardian Temples. Fortunately, not everyone in these Guardian Temples harbored hostility toward them.
The three soon fell into deep thought. Although they hadn’t been involved with the hidden families and Guardian Temples for a long time, they knew that the current ancient martial arts families and the martial world were far more complicated than before.
“Is what we’re doing really right?”
The quiet woman, though exuding a cold aura, had a stunningly beautiful face that was breathtaking to behold. Seeing her profile, the two men beside her felt a stir in their hearts, though they didn’t show it on their faces.
“Third Sister, now is not the time for mercy. As long as we can return, sacrificing a few ants means nothing. Besides, if they had just obeyed, none of this would have happened.”
They doted on this Third Sister, and even the usually stern Second Brother showed a hint of a smile. But they also knew that her only flaw was her excessive kindness.
Along with their Big Brother, the four of them were sworn siblings. But they never expected to be tricked and end up in this world. What they sought was to return to their original world through painstaking efforts. Apart from the unseen Big Brother Luo Lou, there was Second Brother Xiao Ding, Third Sister Yu Yiren, and Fourth Brother Li Xuan. Since arriving in this world, they had almost never been apart.
“But…” Yu Yiren sighed softly, holding back the words she wanted to say. Although she hadn’t directly participated in their actions, she felt a great deal of guilt. In the eyes of Big Brother and Second Brother, were the people of this world nothing more than stepping stones?
“Enough, don’t think too much. As long as we can return, whatever we do is justified.”
A strange smile appeared on Xiao Ding’s lips. In his eyes, the lives of the people in this world meant nothing to him. All he wanted was to find the teleportation array left behind from the ancient martial era and leave this place…
Just as Xiao Yufan was enjoying his peaceful life, atop a snowy mountain in the northwest of China…
Three figures stood with their hands clasped behind their backs. Their natural auras seemed almost fused with heaven and earth itself. The icy cold winds had no effect on them, while the swirling mist added an air of mystery.
“Fourth Brother, how is the task I assigned you? We’ve already waited for decades. If we can’t return soon, we might be stuck here forever!”
One of the men, a middle-aged figure, glanced at the man beside him as he spoke slowly. His deep, penetrating eyes seemed capable of seeing through anything. Under his gaze, even the man referred to as Fourth Brother couldn’t help but twitch his lips slightly.
“Although those fools from the Hidden Guo family aren’t particularly strong, they certainly know how to stir things up. By now, everyone’s attention must have shifted to the Ancient Martial Arts Conference. This will make it much easier for us to act!”
“If that’s the case, then it couldn’t be better. So much time has passed—we can’t afford to wait any longer!”
The middle-aged man seemed lost in thought. After being in this world for so long, they had repeatedly tried to return to their own without success. Their once relatively calm hearts had finally begun to stir.
“Yes, if it weren’t for the extremely thin spiritual energy here, Big Brother would have already broken through to that next stage and taken us back. Why would we have to painstakingly search for the ancient transmission arrays left behind in this world…”
The only woman among the three, who had remained unusually quiet, murmured softly. This place had never been their world. If they hadn’t accidentally stumbled here, there wouldn’t have been so many troubles.
“Big Brother has been in seclusion for so long. He must be making a final attempt. If he succeeds, we’ll have a certain chance of leaving this wretched place. If he fails, we’ll have to find other means.”
They were well aware of their current predicament. Having stayed in this desolate place for decades, they had long grown weary. If they couldn’t break through their current cultivation level soon, they would eventually face the end of their lifespan.
“As long as this time no one notices us, it should be much easier to act. Previously, some of the guardian temples of China were watching us like hawks. After all, the last time we attacked the Hidden Situ Clan, we caused quite a commotion!”
While they waited for their eldest brother to break through his limitations, the three of them had never been idle. Previously, upon receiving intelligence that the Hidden Situ Clan might possess a lost transmission array, they had newly arrived in this world and decided to act. That was the first time they truly realized that even in this spiritually barren world, there were experts no weaker than themselves.
However, their efforts had not paid off. The Hidden Situ Clan didn’t possess what they sought. It was precisely at that time that they were marked by many guardian temples of China. If not for that, they wouldn’t have been forced to flee to the snowy mountains of northwest China.
“I hope those useless fools can actually be of some help. Otherwise, all our efforts would be in vain. Those guys from the guardian temples are really annoying!”
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows. Their current situation was indeed precarious. One misstep could lead to disaster. After all, even with their formidable strength, they couldn’t possibly fight against all the guardian temples of China. Fortunately, not everyone within those temples bore them hostility.
The three fell into silence. Although they hadn’t involved themselves in the affairs of the hidden clans and guardian temples for a long time, they knew that the current world of martial cultivators and ancient martial families was far more complicated than before.
“Are we really doing the right thing?”
The quiet woman, though emanating a cold aura, possessed a beauty so exquisite it was almost breathtaking. Seeing her exquisite profile, the two beside her felt slight stirrings within but didn’t let it show on their faces.
“Third Sister, this is no time to be soft-hearted. As long as we can return, what’s the loss of a few insignificant ants? Besides, if they had just obeyed quietly, none of this would have happened!”
The eldest brother held great affection for the third sister. Even the usually stern face of Second Brother showed a rare smile. Yet they both knew, the one flaw with their Third Sister was her excessive compassion.
Originally, the four had sworn brotherhood and sisterhood. But they had never expected to be tricked and end up in this world. If not for their eldest brother Luo Lou, who had yet to appear, then there was Second Brother Xiao Ding, Third Sister Yu Yiren, and Fourth Brother Li Xuan. Since arriving in this world, they had practically never been separated.
“But…” Yu Yiren sighed softly, swallowing back the words she had intended to say. Although she had never directly participated in their actions, she still felt deep guilt. In the eyes of Big Brother and Second Brother, were the people of this world merely stepping stones?
“Enough. Don’t think too much. As long as we can return, anything we do is justified!”
A strange smile flickered across Xiao Ding’s lips. In his eyes, the lives and deaths of people in this world were of no concern to him. His sole goal was to locate the ancient transmission arrays left behind from the previous martial era and escape this place…
