Ten meters in one step, truly terrifying!
Soon, Lumine arrived at the center of the west city, which was almost completely filled with ruins, with fights breaking out everywhere.
But amidst the desolation, there was still life. The only mansion that remains intact should be where the Cloud Retainer was located.
The soul masters who were fighting also noticed Lumine entering their line of sight, but they did not act rashly.
The reason was still Lumine's ten-meter stride!
This was a powerful figure!
Moreover, this powerful figure didn't seem very interested in the fragments of the ninth-level soul tool.
Without any conflict of interest, provoking her would be a very unwise choice.
"Hahaha~"
"Success…"
"I didn't expect soul tools to have something worth learning from…"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out. The soul masters who were fighting were slightly stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.
"Retreat, retreat!"
"It's that woman!!"
The soul masters who were engaged in battle all stopped and fled in a frenzy, wishing they could install a few more speed-enhancing soul tools.
Although that woman didn't kill anyone, she only shattered her opponents' soul tools. But her way of humiliating people was truly hard for many soul masters to accept.
If they lost, they were willing to pay with their lives.
But they were still alive, and their soul tools were gone…
For soul masters, especially high-level soul masters, soul tools were more important than life!
Keeping them alive was more torturous than killing them.
Hearing this voice, Lumine's face lit up with joy. She had indeed found the right person!
The title, the voice, everything matched. She must be the Cloud Retainer!
She wondered what she was researching that made her so happy.
"Cloud Retainer!!"
Lumine called out towards the gate. She was already eager to meet this friend.
As Lumine's voice rang out, the "Cloud Retainer," who was laughing, was slightly stunned, and her laughter stopped suddenly. Was she hallucinating?
On the Sun Moon Continent, how could she hear the traveler's voice?
With a flash, the Cloud Retainer appeared at the gate.
"Traveler??"
"Cloud Retainer!!"
The two of them looked at each other. The feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land leaves them speechless for a long while.
After a while, they both spoke almost simultaneously.
"Is it really you?"
"It's really you!"
The Cloud Retainer was puzzled, while Lumine was excited.
The moment she saw the Cloud Retainer, Lumine could roughly confirm one thing.
Zhongli, Paimon, and the others must have also crossed over to this world.
Given Zhongli's "low-profile," it was normal for them to remain unknown.
After another moment, the Cloud Retainer finally regained her composure. After all, she was an adeptus, so she had the capacity to handle this.
She quickly invited Lumine into the mansion, and Lumine didn't stand on ceremony, following the Cloud Retainer inside.
The experts who were observing this scene were stunned, feeling somewhat bewildered, with a trace of confusion in their eyes.
Impossible, how could this be?
That woman actually had friends??
Such a "ruthless" woman, did she really have friends?
They felt their worldview crumbling.
"Good thing I didn't act impulsively and attack that yellow-haired girl... no, yellow-haired aunt who looked like she was fifteen or sixteen!"
An old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties asserted to himself.
He was an eighth-level soul master, which was why he dared to stay.
Not far from him, another eighth-level soul master, also in his seventies or eighties, nodded in agreement.
When the Cloud Retainer defeated the first ninth-level soul master, no one thought she was young anymore.
The prerequisite for being a ninth-level soul master was to be a Titled Douluo!
Reaching the Titled Douluo level, rejuvenation was normal.
This eccentric Cloud Retainer must be around one hundred and fifty or sixty years old, right?
Fortunately, the Cloud Retainer didn't know what everyone was thinking, or she might have burst out laughing.
One hundred and fifty or sixty?
One of her disciples, that Wang Xia...
Ahem, who is Wang Xiaomei? It's Gan Yu!
It's all because the traveler couldn't remember names.
Her disciples were thousands of years old...
"Where there's smoke, there's fire. This person showed no fear when she saw us, her eyes were crystal clear."
"Saying she was looking at ants might be a bit much."
"But she really didn't care about us, that's for sure."
When a young person sees old men like us, shouldn't they be nervous?
Even if we're not ninth-level soul masters, but eighth-level.
You must know, how many people are there in the Sun Moon Empire?
There are only about ten ninth-level soul masters, and aside from these ten, the eighth-level soul masters are the most terrifying.
That "girl" named Lumine didn't show the slightest emotional fluctuation. Is this someone we can afford to provoke?
No one is a fool, especially those who have cultivated to this level.
You have to learn to observe, to step back behind the crowd.
Unless there's a benefit at stake, try to avoid conflicts as much as possible.
Soul masters might not like to use their brains, but we are soul tool masters!
Learning and creating, these all require using your brain.
Inside the mansion.
The Cloud Retainer circled around Lumine twice, actually sizing her up.
"I didn't expect you to come to this world too!"
She really didn't expect Lumine to come to this world.
Originally a "traveler" who crossed the heavens to arrive at the Douluo Continent, but then crossed over again during the journey, it was really hard to put into words.
Lumine recounted the events before and after the crossing, and then said, "I heard your name from afar and came looking for you."
Moon Wheel Town is quite far from the capital, but for a strong person, it doesn't take much time.
The Cloud Retainer looked at Lumine, feeling like something was missing.
The atmosphere didn't seem as lively as before.
In the past, Lumine rarely spoke.
Subconsciously, the Cloud Retainer said, "Paimon..."
At this point, the Cloud Retainer paused, only then reminded that the little guy Paimon was with the Emperor.
Traveler with a guide, this is the standard, it has always been like this, she didn't react for a moment.
"Cloud Retainer, have you seen Paimon?"
Lumine asked curiously, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Yes, Paimon is with the Emperor and Xiao."
The Cloud Retainer nodded, there was nothing to hide about this.
"Really? Where are they?"
"Lumine, don't worry, they're not on this continent."
Seeing Lumine so anxious, the Cloud Retainer patted her shoulder and said.
"???"
Lumine felt her head filled with question marks. Since the Cloud Retainer had seen Paimon, why did she say Paimon wasn't on this continent?
If not here, how did she see her?
Seeing Lumine's puzzled expression, the Cloud Retainer continued, "This planet is called Douluo Star, and it has two most representative continents. One is called the Sun Moon Continent."
"The other is called Douluo Continent."
"When I descended, I, along with the Emperor, Paimon, and Xiao, all landed on the Douluo Continent."
