Du Fan's prayers were clearly ineffective. In just a short while, a beautiful woman dressed in red appeared within the range of his divine sense. It was Tian Wu.
"Isn't she courting death?!"
Du Fan's expression suddenly changed, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, Zi Yan suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, speaking first: "Judging from your expression, you must have sensed that little girl."
"I never expected your spiritual power to be so strong. This gives me even more confidence in you."
"Senior Ziyan, I have never missed any of the island's routine missions. This can be easily verified. I only recently encountered some special circumstances, which forced me to mingle with the mortal forces. I beg you to let her go."
Du Fan took a deep breath, his expression solemn, and bowed deeply to the woman in front of him, speaking with a hint of pleading.
"Oh, it seems you and this little girl have quite a close relationship. For her sake, you've even revealed something so taboo on this island. That's quite surprising to me." A hint of surprise appeared in Zi Yan's eyes, but her expression didn't change much.
This woman was clearly already aware of the phenomenon of individual cultivators on the island secretly infiltrating mortal forces; she was merely somewhat surprised that the other party would go to such lengths for a mere mortal.
"Please, senior, spare her," Du Fan said, bowing with clasped hands.
"Haha, you don't need to be so nervous. When did I ever say I was going to make things difficult for her?" Zi Yan laughed and said with a glint in her eyes.
"Thank you, senior." Du Fan felt helpless, but since the other party had said so, he could only clasp his hands in thanks.
Du Fan sighed. He couldn't completely trust Zi Yan's words. If this woman had no ill intentions, she could take him away now. But this Golden Core expert clearly didn't have that intention. Although Du Fan hadn't interacted much with this woman, her unpredictable nature had left a deep impression on him.
This alluring woman, whose cultivation was unfathomable, was sometimes as cold as ice, as terrifying as an ancient demon, and sometimes playful, like a little girl with an innocent heart. Facing her, Du Fan felt nothing but powerlessness and trepidation.
After a short while, a bamboo grove rustled, and soon a figure in red emerged from the grove—it was none other than Tian Wu, who had come rushing over.
The moment Tian Wu saw Du Fan, she felt a sense of relief, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
However, when Tian Wu turned her gaze and saw the beautiful and charming woman in a purple dress standing not far in front of Du Fan, her expression darkened, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
"There are such beautiful women in the world, like fairies. No wonder she bewitched that bastard Li Daoming." This thought instantly popped into Tian Wu's mind.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?" Zi Yan Okita Mai asked with a slight smile and a gentle tone.
Tian Wu gritted her teeth, ignoring Du Fan's constipated expression and winking. She immediately moved, arriving in front of Zi Yan in a few steps. Puffing out her proud chest, she solemnly corrected him:
"Beautiful lady, I'm not young anymore, I'm already twenty years old."
Upon witnessing this scene, Du Fan's vision went black. He felt anxious and uneasy, and also experienced a headache.
"Twenty years old?" Zi Yan was taken aback at first, then smiled and murmured as if to herself, "For a mortal woman, it is indeed a good age."
Tian Wu didn't understand what the woman in the purple dress was saying, but she disliked the woman's self-righteous attitude. Tian Wu frowned slightly, looked at the woman, and suddenly said something that almost made Du Fan spit blood.
"Sister, if you want to see Li Daoming, you can come directly to our Green Forest Village. Since you are his friend, I, Tian Wu, will treat you with courtesy and regard you as an honored guest. You don't need to lure him out in any special way."
If you like Li Daoming, and Li Daoming likes you too, I have no objection. You can move to Green Forest Village and we can be sisters from now on.
After Tian Wu finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Du Fan, as if to tell him that she was actually a very magnanimous person, and that he should not judge her with a petty mind...
Upon hearing this, Du Fan's mind went blank for a moment, and he was completely stunned.
Zi Yan was clearly taken aback for a moment, but then her eyebrows shot up, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a chill emanated from her as she stared at Tian Wu and said slowly, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
As an ordinary mortal, Tian Wu might not be able to understand anything, but Du Fan clearly felt the chilling killing intent emanating from Zi Yan in her rage.
A chill ran down Du Fan's spine. Without thinking, he moved swiftly, stepping in front of Tian Wu and hurriedly clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Senior, she is just an ordinary mortal woman. She knows nothing about the cultivation world, let alone your identity. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against her."
Tian Wu was slightly taken aback. She didn't understand why Li Daoming was so afraid of the other party. Since she had known Li Daoming, she had never seen him speak to anyone in such a humble manner. Even towards her, this bastard had never said a kind word to her from the beginning until now.
But precisely because of this, an inexplicable fire rose in her heart, but after taking a deep breath, she forcibly suppressed this evil fire.
Tian Wu clenched her small fists, then slowly relaxed them, repeatedly telling herself that she couldn't lose her composure in front of this woman in the purple dress, or that bastard Li Daoming would look down on her.
"Li Daoming, what did you just say? What cultivation world?" Tian Wu shifted her feet, revealing herself to the woman in the purple dress once again, and asked Du Fan with a slight frown.
Du Fan's lips twitched, and he let out a loud wail in his heart. He was now extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, why did he even bother with the party? He should have just left yesterday, and he wouldn't be in this heart-stopping situation now.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here. Hurry up and apologize to your senior!" Du Fan suddenly turned around, raised his arm, and was about to slap him.
But when Du Fan saw her beautiful face, he was suddenly reminded of the past. He couldn't bear to drop his hand in mid-air, so he turned his palm into a finger, pointed at Tian Wu's nose and shouted, while also blinking his eyes at her a few times.
"Alright, stop putting on an act in front of me. I've seen enough." Zi Yan's face darkened, and with a gentle lift of her jade hand, a white beam of light flashed from her fingertip and shot straight toward Tian Wu's chest.
Du Fan's pupils contracted upon seeing this. He knew very well that if Zi Yan was determined to take Tian Wu's life, then Tian Wu would have no chance of escaping death, and even if he were to give his life here, it would not change that fact.
Moreover, he knew he couldn't possibly stop a casual strike from the other party.
Du Fan was filled with shock and anger, and his heart was filled with anxiety. But at this critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately shouted, "If you can show mercy, senior, I will certainly satisfy you at the Hainan Rendez-Vous."
"Oh?"
A look of surprise flashed across Zi Yan's face, then her slender fingers twitched slightly. The white beam of light, which was already very close to Tian Wu's chest, suddenly stopped, trembled slightly in mid-air, and then turned into specks of spiritual light and dispersed.
"Tell me what makes you satisfied."
However, I advise you to think things through before you speak. If you fail to satisfy me, you will soon realize that simply killing her is actually a form of mercy.” Zi Yan’s jade arm slowly fell, uttering a calm and collected statement.
Everything just happened in the blink of an eye. Even Du Fan didn't have time to react, let alone Tian Wu, who was only human. At this moment, she stared blankly at Du Fan, and the astonishing scene just now gradually surfaced in her mind, and her face gradually turned pale.
A moment later, the woman gave a bitter laugh, muttering, "Cultivators... I should have realized this long ago, was it just that I didn't want to admit it?"
Seeing Tian Wu like this, Du Fan felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if pricked by a needle. But now was not the time to explain anything to her. He could only give Tian Wu an apologetic look, then take a deep breath and turn away.
"The top 100 in the Allied Island Competition," Du Fan said through gritted teeth.
"Top 100? Not enough." Zi Yan shook her head and said expressionlessly.
"Senior Ziyan, on average, the top 100 cultivators in the Grand Competition are all the top two in the smaller competitions on various islands. Isn't that enough?" Du Fan's breathing became rapid, and his face turned ashen.
Even if he's ranked in the top 100, that's an exaggeration. Although Du Fan is quite confident in his current strength, he can still imagine what the Hainan Rendez-Vous is, even if he's never been there.
He was certain that most of the cultivators participating in the Alliance Island Grand Competition possessed the cultivation level of the peak of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, and there probably wouldn't be many ordinary cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage.
Moreover, these cultivators have crawled out of countless life-and-death situations, and their strength and combat experience are certainly far superior to those of other cultivators of the same level. It can be said that the Sea and Sky Feast is the gathering place of the top desperados in the entire Earthly Fiend Islands.
Under these circumstances, Du Fan dared not be arrogant in the slightest.
