In the inner circle of the battlefield, within a perilous land, the aftermath of a great battle left a man drenched in blood, meditating to regulate his breath, while a worn yet bright-eyed young girl with twin buns stood nearby on guard.
As the young master rested, weary as she was, she would not let anyone disturb him.
This master-servant duo was none other than Wang Yeang and Xiaozhu from Xuanmen. After conquering the Nine Stars Sect's territory, Wang Yeang led Xiaozhu away from the outer circle and ventured into the inner circle, because with their level of cultivation, only in the inner circle could they refine themselves and gain substantial benefits.
In the outer circle, they could indeed dominate, but that would only stagnate their cultivation. Any cultivator with a bit of ambition, upon reaching a certain level of power, would move toward the inner circle and core circle, mainly because that was where they could earn ample merits.
