It turns out, they were the main characters.

It has to be said that although her attire was understated, her silver-white hair was really too eye-catching. No wonder she always wore a black hood in the past, probably to cover up her striking hair.

"Going out for a walk...?" The chains behind the Primordial Witch, which were almost peeking out, paused slightly. She subconsciously looked up at Mu Zhi'an.

"You mean you want me to leave this place with you?" the Primordial Witch asked.

“We just need to leave the black box and get some fresh air outside. It’s better than sitting here,” Mu Zhian said.

The Primordial Witch tilted her head slightly and said, "Is it alright? If I remember correctly, you came to the Martial Realm for the Ascension Tournament, right? If you don't get enough points, you might miss the Ascension Tournament."

"The martial arts assessment is quite important, but if there's really no time, then just give up."

Under the gaze of the Primordial Witch, Mu Zhian smiled freely: "Sometimes you have to sacrifice something for certain things, and at least in my opinion, this sacrifice is worthwhile."

……

Outside the black box, the black mist had almost covered half of the area.

Wei Mengrou and Tang Sufei were walking together deeper into the black box.

However, it seems that no one except Mu Zhian can open this black box. Even Wei Mengrou can't. She can only watch from the outside as the black box emits a black mist that shields the secrets of heaven, but she still doesn't know how to get close to it.

"Why would the black box that was kept with Young Master Mu end up here...?" Tang Sufei frowned slightly, looking at the mysterious black box that was emitting a thick black mist, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Wei Mengrou also frowned, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

boom!

At this moment, the black mist inside the black box suddenly shot into the sky, and this strange scene naturally attracted the attention of the two.

“Look, there seems to be a person inside that black box…?” Tang Sufei suddenly whispered, her eyes fixed on the rising black mist and the figure that could be vaguely seen within it.

The black mist was incredibly dense, almost reaching the sky, which alerted cultivators in other areas, who instinctively turned to look in that direction.

Wei Mengrou's gaze followed the direction, and then her gaze froze slightly on the two figures in the black mist.

One of the figures was Mu Zhi'an.

How did he end up here...?

Also, who is the person next to him?

Wei Mengrou's gaze unconsciously fell on the woman in the black robe next to Mu Zhian.

She frowned slightly, feeling for some reason that the face looked somewhat familiar.

Tang Sufei, standing to the side, was also staring intently at the woman in black robes in mid-air.

At that moment, the woman in black robes in mid-air seemed to sense their gazes and turned her head slightly to look over.

It was just a fleeting glance, but after a brief hesitation, Tang Sufei felt an indescribable surge of excitement and almost exclaimed, "The Primordial Witch?!"

Wei Mengrou's gaze was also fixed on the figure in mid-air, but it met the gaze of the Primordial Witch.

The Primal Witch gazed silently at Wei Mengrou, as if she saw something in her eyes, and a complex look appeared in her own eyes.

"It really was you..." she murmured to herself.

The Primordial Witch quickly collected her thoughts, tilted her head slightly, and revealed a charming smile: "Let's go."

"I am quite familiar with the martial arts world, so I will guide you."

The black mist enveloped the two of them, and Mu Zhian naturally could not detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the outside world.

He nodded slightly, about to say something.

However, before he could even speak, he suddenly heard a soft and melodious voice beside him.

"I'm quite familiar with the martial arts world. If you just want to take a walk, I can lead the way. But, are you sure you don't need to worry about your martial arts assessment?"

Holy crap... Yao Meng?!

Almost the instant the voice rang out, Mu Zhian subconsciously looked up and saw a wisp of azure light silently rise up, engulfing the black mist within it.

Her cyan dress fluttered in the cold wind, her graceful feet hovering in mid-air, and she gazed at the Primordial Witch with a smile in her eyes.

"I never imagined that the Primordial Witch was actually still alive."

The Primordial Witch narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

"Qing Emperor?"

Chapter 276 Even the Primordial Witch Wants to Use Public Vehicles for Private Purposes?!

"Qing Emperor?"

The Primordial Witch squinted, scrutinizing the cyan figure that was gradually emerging from the black mist.

She wore a light blue long dress embroidered with white patterns, and as the cold wind blew, a small section of her fair and soft waist was revealed.

Her waist was slender and elegant, and her snow-white feet, like rare white jade, could be vaguely seen beneath her skirt.

The Primordial Witch raised her eyebrows slightly, her bright eyes hidden under her black hood gazing at Yao Meng: "If I remember correctly, the Martial World Assessment is still underway. It doesn't seem quite right for a Dao Integration Realm expert to rashly enter the Martial World, does it?"

Yao Meng chuckled softly, looking at the woman in black robes with a hint of amusement. Then, her gaze fell on the Primordial Demoness's slender hand tightly holding Mu Zhi'an's, and she said, "Since there can be one Dao Integration Realm cultivator in the Martial World, why can't there be two?"

"Besides..."

She paused slightly, then continued, "This is just a wisp of my spiritual consciousness."

For someone at the Dao Integration Realm, it's not difficult to travel from the Yaochi Holy Land to the Martial World in an instant. However, if Yao Meng's true form were to descend, it would inevitably disrupt the disciples currently undergoing their assessments in the Martial World. This is why Yao Meng only used an avatar to come.

The Primordial Witch slightly raised her head, her gentle eyes gazing at the beautiful woman in the green dress before her, and said, "Do you think you can take him away with just a wisp of spiritual consciousness?"

"I originally came here to check, and if someone really wanted to forcibly keep him in the martial world, then I would take action."

Yao Meng glanced at the Primordial Witch and said softly, "But it seems I don't need to do anything."

The primordial witch before us is merely a lingering obsession from ten thousand years ago, representing one of the primordial witch's past wishes.

And this wish is to be with Mu Zhian.

This wish has now come true.

...Even without Yao Meng doing anything, the Primordial Witch's obsession will eventually disappear.

"Take good care of him while he's in the martial arts world." As Yao Meng said this, her gaze inadvertently drifted towards Mu Zhi'an.

It felt a bit like a brother succeeding his brother, or a son inheriting his father's business... Mu Zhian was full of complaints but didn't know where to begin. Just then, he suddenly felt as if a gaze was looking at him. He looked up and saw the fairy from the Jade Pool Holy Land looking at him with a faint smile.

From an outsider's perspective, such a faint smile seems to carry an unattainable ethereal and mysterious quality. However, Mu Zhian knows Yao Meng inside and out, and naturally knows what such a dangerous smile means.

But now that Yao Meng has spoken, he can only remain silent.

I have to grit my teeth and finish this appointment with the Primordial Witch, no matter what.

As for going back... I'll think about it when I get back.

At worst, I'll just sacrifice myself to suppress Yao Meng...

Of course, this is the best outcome. As for the worst outcome... this Azure Emperor has existed in the world for ten thousand years, and no one knows what terrifying punishments he might have.

For example, green vines, restraint, dark room...

While Mu Zhian was still worrying about the future, Yao Meng's wisp of spiritual consciousness had quietly dissipated.

Mu Zhian composed himself slightly, turned his head to look at the Primordial Witch, and said, "Let's go."

"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" he continued.

The Primordial Witch gently shook her head and looked at him with a faint smile: "As long as I'm with you, I'm willing to go anywhere."

“No matter where we go, this obsession will only last for a while before disappearing, so I want to stay with you as much as possible,” said the Primordial Witch.

Mu Zhian remained silent.

In fact, Mu Zhian finds it hard to understand the feelings of the Primordial Witch, because in his mind, he has no memory of being with the Primordial Witch in the past.

But the primordial witch's obsession with him was very deep, so deep that it was touching.

Mu Zhian removed her hood and looked into her bright eyes, which reflected the falling snowflakes.

Occasionally, the sounds of cultivators clashing their techniques could be heard from all around, but Mu Zhian's attention remained fixed on the Primordial Witch.

Obsession represents the intense desire of the person in life for a certain wish, a desire that has endured for thousands of years, through wind and sun, yet has never faded.

The primordial witch's obsession in the martial world is like a long-sealed box; no one notices her because the person she's waiting for has never appeared.

Until one day he appeared, the dusty little box was opened, and you discovered that she had endured year after year of wind and sun, yet remained there forever. Her love for you remained unchanged, even though she had forgotten everything that had happened in the past, she still reminded herself of it.

—I have always loved him.

It would be a lie to say that Mu Zhian wasn't moved; he has no other pursuits but a particular fondness for beautiful women.

Although this primordial witch seems to have some yandere beauty tendencies, she is still captivating.

However, Mu Zhian felt not only pity for her, but also a great deal of sympathy.

"Or you could take me somewhere to relax. You're quite familiar with the martial arts world, aren't you?" Mu Zhian extended his hand to the Primordial Witch.

In any case, before the primordial witch's obsession fades, they can still go to many places and at least leave her with a beautiful memory.

The Primordial Witch gently lifted her black hood and smiled sweetly: "Alright."

boom!

The black mist dispersed as those words were spoken, the black box quietly closed, and then fell into Mu Zhian's storage ring.

At this moment, many cultivators in this area were looking for a suitable place to stay, and as the black mist dissipated, the figures of the two people came into clear view.

"Look over there!"

"That cultivator seems to be a disciple of my sect, but who is that silver-haired beauty beside him...?"

"I don't think I've seen this before during my time entering the martial arts world..."

"Isn't that obvious? So many people have entered the Martial World this time, how could you possibly have seen everyone?" a cultivator joked.

“That’s different. If such a beautiful woman were really in this area, it’s impossible for me to have no impression of her at all.”

This remark immediately drew a burst of laughter, and then their attention involuntarily fell on the silver-haired beauty in mid-air.

Although I was joking just now, there's some truth to it.

How could they possibly not notice such a stunningly beautiful woman if she were really in this area?

Wei Mengrou gazed quietly at the figure of the woman in black robes, then frowned slightly: "That woman's aura seems a bit off."
