Meanwhile, back in the Thousand Valley Range, a group of cultivators were traveling through the air on their flying swords. They numbered five, three men and two women, with a female cultivator taking the lead among the group as they flew in a V-shape formation.
The first female cultivator had flowing green hair that had a light glow radiating off each strand, with beautiful features that seemed elfin. Her skin tone was a little tanned compared to the typical Yanhuang human on Tianming Continent, and her ears were slightly pointed in a way Li Ling would have found familiar.
Her expression was serene and her brocade silk robes were of the same style as her four compatriots, a greenish-brown color with the symbol of the Qing Shan Sect on it.
"Senior Sister, you are truly unlucky! Who would have thought that such a cushy job in an outer market could yield such trouble?" The other female disciple lamented openly, being in the second position to the left of the elfin young lady.
