"Hm?" Yan Zaizen's eyebrows twitched, his gaze looked northwest. A gleam appeared within his eyes. This gleam was bright but contained a hint of maliciousness within. A dark sneer surfaced, and his speed and direction changed, soaring towards the northwest.

---

A skys.h.i.+p flew not too far from Yan Zaizen's current location. This skys.h.i.+p was medium-sized, capable of fitting a few people, and only a few people stood within it. At the helm was a middle-aged male. This male had a slim physique, feline ears, and sharp eyes. He seemed to emanate a strong air of calmness, but also a feral aura. It would force anyone to give this man a second look.

This also included his cultivation base. His heavenly aura fluctuated softly within the air, revealing his abilities to be at the Fourth-Floor of the Heavenly Genesis Realm. This realm was not to be looked down upon, as it indicated a talent and strength many could only wish for.

Behind this man was a group of members who possessed similar features, a total of three males and two females. Out of the three males, one was at the First-Floor, and the other two were at the Third-Floor. The First-Floor male looked like a youth amidst these older men. However, he held a distinct pride within his gaze that was unmistakable, indicating his importance and status amongst them.

The two women were also of the same race, possessing slim bodies and feline ears. One was short and young while the other held a more mature aura and look about her, her bust being abundant and her cleavage, which was proudly displayed, being rather deep in her robe.

If Yan Zaizen were here, he'd be shocked but incredibly excited! The shorter one was Esi![1] This was Eshe's sister and the one who gave him information when he first arrived in this land. She was also complicit in the scheme to use him as bait due to his ignorance.

If it weren't for his illusion laws, he would've been held off with only his FiendG.o.d cultivation base to fight a stronger enemy with a higher realm. If that happened, who knew if he could handle it or escape uninjured. Therefore, he held a rather deep grudge against this woman.

The older, more mature woman had an anxious light within her pupil-less eyes. "Esi, my dear, are you certain your sister is still alive? It's been years..." This woman was Esi and Eshe's birth mother.

"Yes, mother." Esi was rather respectful, but her eyes contained a similar anxiousness within them. However, whenever she'd look at the back of the man who steered the s.h.i.+p, her heart would experience a slight calm.

The young man beside her walked forward, placing his hand upon Esi's mother's slightly trembling shoulder. An enigmatic smile emerged as he spoke with confidence, "It'll be fine, Esther." His words seemed to want to instill confidence, hoping to a.s.suage Esther's worries, but her body trembled a little bit more when his hand made contact with her shoulder. A trace of discomfort emerged in her eyes, and even a little disgust. However, she swiftly concealed with and sweetly smiled.

"Yes."

Esi's gaze s.h.i.+fted, turning fierce as if someone had stepped on her tail when she saw the close, inappropriate contact the young man had with her mother. She looked towards the figure ahead, once more seeking calm in the back figure of the middle-aged man. Only then was she able to ease her fierce expression and return to a steady calm.

The two other males seemed to be silent, as if they had not seen or heard anything. In truth, they were like statues, silently lingering about the young man like guardians.

Abruptly, the middle-aged man's aura started to elevate in intensity. Originally, he was like a silent and quiet ocean, but now he was like rumbling waves that could turn into a full-blown storm. His heavenly might surged outwards causing the skys.h.i.+p to rock to and fro.

The others were caught off-guard, but the two guardians positioned themselves beside the young man, their heavenly energy flowing outwards to form a double-layered protective ward that s.h.i.+elded them all. Esi and Esther had shocked expressions, but the barrier prevented them from being overly affected by the heavenly might.

"Uncle, what's wrong?!" Esi cried.

"..." The middle-aged man didn't speak. His eyes gazed towards the southwest. He pulled out an object that looked like a three-dimensional pentagonal crystal, but one of its edges looked sheared off removing its perfection. The crystal glowed bright, and light pointed towards the southwest.

"She's coming!" The Uncle's grating voice was rough and uncomfortable to listen to. Yet, this unpleasant voice caused all of the eyes of those onboard to brighten a noticeable degree.

"She's coming?"

They looked towards the southwest to see a fast approaching comet of light. It was a stark difference from the gloomy and dark skies of the Dusk Zone.

"What's that?" The young man had an awed appearance as he saw the bright streak of light approach. His eyes couldn't leave it, as if it was attracting his soul. However, before they could even speak another word, a voice that was imposing as the heavens spoke in excitement.

"I've found you!!"
