So Close yet so Far Away

Xia Tian ran around the sacred mountain again and stepped on every inch of the land with his feet. However, in the end, he found nothing except a man and a woman having sex in the wild.

Before they knew it, it was already dark, and only a pair of enemies, a man and a woman, were left on the sacred mountain.

After several hours of fruitless search, Xia Tian finally returned to Tianshen Peak.

"Hey, long-legged girl, it's getting dark. Stop looking and let's go back." Xia Tian yawned. He seemed a little sleepy. He didn't sleep well last night and now he was bored. It would be strange if he wasn't sleepy.

"If you want to go back, go back!" Ye Yumei said coldly. It was obvious that she had no intention of going back.

"Hey, do you want to stay here all night?" Xia Tian was a little depressed, "I'm not interested in staying here with you all night!"

Ye Yumei simply ignored Xia Tian and continued to look for something carefully.

"Long-legged girl, you must have checked this place at least hundreds of times, right?" Xia Tian couldn't help but ask.

"Can you please shut up?" Ye Yumei was a little annoyed and scolded.

"Hey, if you don't leave yet, I'm leaving!" Xia Tian really didn't want to stay here any longer.

"You'd better go away and never come back!" Ye Yumei said unhappily.

"You really don't know what's good for you. If I wasn't worried that you would be killed by the people from Piao Miao Xian Men, I wouldn't bother to care about you." Xia Tian was a little dissatisfied. "Forget it, since you insist on staying here, then you can spend the night here. I'll go back first."

Xia Tian left as soon as he said he would. After saying this, he flew down Tianshen Peak and flew towards the villa on the other side of Yueluo Lake.

Ye Yumei stood proudly on the Tianshen Peak, looking into the distance. Her eyes were no longer so cold, but a little blurred.

After Xia Tian left, she no longer continued to look for the exit of the magic circle. She always believed that the thing that brought her to this world was a powerful immortal magic circle, a magic circle that was accidentally activated by her and Yue Qingya, and one of the exits of the magic circle should be in the sacred mountain. However, she still hasn't found any trace of the magic circle.

Ye Yumei found that she liked Shenshan very much. After coming to this world, there were almost no places she really liked. Qingfeng Mountain could barely be considered half a place. But here, even though she had just arrived here, she found that she liked it very much. Because, standing here and feeling everything around her, she vaguely seemed to have returned to that world, the world called Xianyun Continent.

Although the spiritual energy of the sacred mountain is not as strong as that of Qingfeng Mountain, it is stronger than that of most places in this world. The dozens of small peaks here and the Moonfall Lake surrounding the sacred mountain all make Ye Yumei feel quite familiar. Here, she has found the feeling of the Xianyun Continent. Standing on this mountain, she feels as if she is standing on a mountain in the Xianyun Continent.

"This world does not belong to me after all." Ye Yumei looked up at the sky. There was a bright moon in the sky tonight, and her mood seemed to have improved a lot without her noticing. That bright moon seemed to be exactly the same as the bright moon in the sky of Xianyun Continent. This made her have an illusion, an illusion that she had returned to Xianyun Continent. Or maybe, in fact, she had never left Xianyun Continent in the past twenty years?

Sometimes, Ye Yumei would always wonder unconsciously, could this world actually belong to Xianyun Continent? You know, Xianyun Continent is vast, maybe this is a corner of Xianyun Continent, a corner she has never been to.

However, when she learned that this world was actually just a small planet in the starry sky, and that almost all areas of this world called Earth had been explored by humans, she began to realize that this was not a corner of the Xianyun Continent, but at most just a corner of the boundless starry sky. The Xianyun Continent might be at the other end of the starry sky, a place extremely far away from here.

However, she still couldn't figure out why a certain array in Xianyun Continent would send her and Yue Qingya to this place? Could it be that a senior cultivator from Xianyun Continent had been to this world before? Or, was there actually some kind of close connection between these two worlds that she didn't know about?

She had always wanted to go back, not because of her old lover as that little bastard said, but mainly because of loneliness.

Yes, lonely. She felt very lonely in this world. There were no immortal cultivators here, she could not practice here, there were no opponents here, there was almost nothing here. She had to go back, she had to go back to the Xianyun Continent. Only there did she feel that her existence was more meaningful.

"If I go back, will she be lonely?" The figure of a woman in white robe emerged in Ye Yumei's mind. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that, in fact, the woman in white robe was still her biggest concern in this life.

Ye Yumei just stood quietly on the Tianshen Peak. Her peerless grace was enough to overshadow the bright moon in the sky. Unfortunately, no one could appreciate this scene now.

An unknown amount of time had passed before a warning sign suddenly woke Ye Yumei from this dreamlike state. She turned around abruptly, her face changing slightly. In the not-too-distant sky, a white shadow quietly approached, and in an instant it arrived at the Tianshen Peak, landing less than ten meters away from Ye Yumei.

This was not Huang Jingyi from Piaomiao Immortal Sect, but a man who looked less than 30 years old. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and slender figure, and an extraordinary temperament. A powerful aura emanated from him. The slight mountain breeze seemed to have stopped flowing at this moment. At this moment, Ye Yumei suddenly felt that everything around her seemed to have stagnated. This handsome man made her feel a great pressure.

"Ye Yumei?" The man in white asked with obvious surprise, "You're still alive?"

"Twenty years ago, there seemed to be no one like you in Piao Miao Xianmen." Ye Yumei replied coldly. What she said was not false. Twenty years ago, she knew all the famous disciples of Piao Miao Xianmen. But she did not know Huang Jingyi before, nor did she know this handsome man now. It can be seen that both Huang Jingyi and this man were outstanding disciples of the Xianmen who rose in the past twenty years.

"Twenty years ago, I had just joined Piao Miao Xian Men. At that time, I was only eight years old." The man in white had obviously calmed down, and his tone became calm. "I once met Senior Sister Yue Qingya. Her peerless beauty made me feel ashamed. When I heard the sad news of Senior Sister Yue's disappearance, I swore that no matter where I am, I would find her!"

The voice of the man in white gradually turned cold: "Ye Yumei, I only want to ask you now, Senior Sister Yue, are you still alive?"

"Of course she is alive, and she lives better than you." Ye Yumei said coldly.

"Very good, tell me, where is Senior Sister Yue?" The man in white looked at Ye Yumei coldly, "As long as I can find Senior Sister Yue, I can let you go!"

“Tell me where the entrance to Xianyun Continent is, and I will tell you where Yue Qingya is!” Ye Yumei’s tone was still cold. Although she knew that the man in white was stronger than she was now, she was not afraid. She was sure that she was still capable enough to escape.

"Ye Yumei, you are not qualified to negotiate with me!" The man in white snorted coldly, "You only have two choices, tell the truth, or die!"

As soon as the word "death" came out, the man in white took action. He raised his hand slightly and turned his wrist casually, and a powerful aura surged towards Ye Yumei.

Ye Yumei retreated quickly, but the black ribbon shot out at the same time. Her face looked a little ugly. The power of this man in white was obviously stronger than Huang Jingyi. He was at least in the late Jindan stage, and the difference in strength from her twenty years ago was not much. Even twenty years ago, she might not have been able to defeat this man in white so easily, and now, twenty years later, it was even more impossible for her to do so.

This discovery made Ye Yumei take a very decisive action, which was to run!

Since there is absolutely no possibility of defeating the opponent, why waste time? Although Ye Yumei's injuries have healed, she does not want to waste time and energy in a battle that she cannot win. Therefore, although her black ribbon is still shooting at the man in white, her body is already moving away from Tianshen Peak quickly!

"Want to run?" The man in white sneered. He ignored Ye Yumei's black ribbon and took a step forward.

Although it seemed that he had only taken one step, with this one step, he suddenly appeared less than three feet away from Ye Yumei and suddenly slapped her with his palm.

"Damn it, it's so close yet so far away!" Ye Yumei cursed inwardly. This man in white actually mastered the strange "so close yet so far away" footwork and caught up with her in an instant, leaving her with no way to escape.

Ye Yumei had to face the enemy head-on. Time was short and she had no chance to dodge. The gap in skill was too big and she couldn't make up for it with any exquisite moves. More importantly, in terms of footwork, the opponent's "Zhi Chi Tian Ya" footwork was more exquisite!

Ye Yumei, who had just been confident that she could escape, suddenly realized with some sadness that she had no choice but to fight. Dozens of black ribbons on her body suddenly danced without wind, half of them dancing irregularly around her body, while the other half quickly formed a black cocoon, wrapping her body in the cocoon.

The man in white sneered, shook his palm slightly, and strangely dodged the irregularly dancing black ribbons, then slapped the black cocoon heavily!

At this moment, a crystal-clear jade palm suddenly emerged from the black cocoon like lightning, and slapped the chest of the man in white at lightning speed. At the same time, the ribbon that was shot out before suddenly turned around and returned like lightning, heading straight for the back of the man in white's head!

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and at the same time, there was a muffled groan, "Ugh!"
