Once the boat was close enough for everyone to see the figures clearly, almost everyone was pleasantly stunned.
Especially the male disciples.
"What a heavenly treasure!"
Someone commented below his breath.
The visual impact of the contrast between Yinfer and Anastasia was simply mind-blowing. The former had an elegant and petite body, a thin frame with slender limbs. Her deep azure hair descended in curly waves that matched perfectly with the blue luster emitted from her eyes.
She had jade-like white skin, clear facial features, and a fairly flat chest that amplified her pure temperament.
Then you have the latter beauty, Anastasia. She had chocolate-like tan skin, thick dark-gray hair, serpentine pupils that enchanted one's soul. She had this enigmatic aura of indifference dawdling about and fierce temperament.
A muscular yet beautifully refined body, from her chest towards her round curves, everything was mesmerizing. The male disciples with weaker mental aptitude couldn't help but get caught in a trance as if they entered an infinite maze that stretched in all conceivable and inconceivable directions.
Both Yinfer and Anastasia had expressionless, cold faces.
However, Yinfer looked like a young princess whilst Anastasia resembled a war marshall. The sharp contrast caught everyone aghast!
The male disciples simply forgot Noire's presence by now.
However, the same couldn't be said about their junior and senior sisters that have been captivated by Noire's ethereal temperament.
He looked like a distant heir of a nomadic deity, the cold indifference in his crystal-like silver eyes that made them feel insignificant and disposable.
The deeper they looked into his eyes, the more they were spellbound by the golden shimmer deep within, some of the women with stronger mentality almost felt loose in their knees.
That was because only those who have achieved high boundaries with their soul power could feel the paradoxical shifts of conceptions within his gaze.
A novice would marvel in awe, an expert would tremble in dread.
At this point, some of the female disciples who cultivated the soul gave stern warnings to their close circle of friends to not offend Noire, even going as far as to label him like a lake which they cannot fathom its depth.
Of course, out of the thousands of people, the ones who made achievements in the concept of soul power could be counted on one hand, two hands at most. Therefore, only a few could ascertain Noire as a crouching dragon in a pool.
For the male disciples, some were also levelheaded to notice that they can't probe through Anastasia's or Yinfer's cultivation.
Some were able to make a few bold guesses, most of them would infer that Anastasia didn't cultivate the human practice, which would explain her ferocious temperament.
As for Yinfer, there was a mysterious force field that blocked their spiritual probe, it was like she had turned into a mass of air, some would even mistake her as a mortal who never practiced any cultivation. Following this, many people began to germinate nefarious thoughts.
...
Just when everyone was caught in their thoughts, the array masters who surrounded the array's boundaries began to shout in horror.
"What's going on?!"
A random disciple was alarmed.
Not only him but everyone else, including young master Wang and young lady Rui who left the pagoda.
Near the misty array, space began to disfigure and ripple, indicating that the portal was opening.
"What?! We still have at least two hours!"
"The portal opened earlier this time!"
While everyone was flabbergasted by the sudden twist of fate, the array masters who were studying the structure of the array were directly caught in the distortion of space.
Each of them felt like being stuck in a quagmire of deep sands, then they could only watch helplessly as their bodies disintegrated into minute fragments.
Just like that, an entire squadron of elite array masters were killed off in the distortion of space!
Some people even thought that this was the array retaliating against the probe of these masters.
"Senior brother Wang, what do you think?"
As senior brother Wang was keeping an eye on the flowering anomaly, he was in deep thoughts.
If the array did retaliate then that meant there is someone who can control the array, thus they can open the array or close it whenever they wished.
Of course, that would also mean they can no longer guarantee the authenticity of what they know about Divine Inheritance Island. It could also raise some questions, can the array be opened continually? Is there any specific reason for there to be intervals between each opening of the Divine Inheritance Island?
Senior brother Wang's mind stirred. At the same time, Noire was coming to similar conclusions, the only difference was that Noire could perceive a mysterious existence watching over them through spiritual sense, which affirms his conclusions.
However, sometimes having more knowledge isn't a conclusive factor, but more or so a disadvantage.
As Noire's thoughts raced, he said, "According to the information we will spawn in different locations. I can always find Yin'er with the help of the jade pendant. But, I don't have the means to locate you, Anastasia."
Anastasia nodded, not worried one bit as she said, "It's fine, I should be safe because of my origins. Also, the only possibility of me confronting danger is if I met a Celestial Rank human or a Sixth Order monster."
As she was replying, Anastasia could feel a pair of eyes locked onto her.
Turning her head, she could see a pink-haired short girl gazing at her exclusively.
That girl was standing next to an ordinary-looking tall man with an overbearing aura of thunder lingering about his body.
Noire and Yinfer both seemed to Notice Anastasia's behavior and turned to look for themselves.
"Mm? That pagoda... Martial Law?"
"That's right, senior brother. That pagoda is a flying treasure that belongs to the Martial Law, and the status isn't low either." Yinfer replied, her tone glinted a well-hidden contempt within.
Once both parties met each other, the pink-haired girl smiled brightly as she used spiritual sense to communicate with her senior brother.
"That woman, she's a monster race!"
"I know, I noticed it as well."
"Hehe, good! I've been looking for a new pet!"
As Rui thought this, her eyes suddenly lit up with a faint killing intent that flashed away in a split second.
However, how can she conceal that killing intent from someone like Anastasia?
When Anastasia detected that intent, her lips curled up in a vicious smile, imprinting the characteristics of this little girl into her memory.
Unbeknownst to her, Rui and Wang were doing the same. Although they can't place a tracking seal on Anastasia without being noticed, they can at least remember the pattern of her energy fluctuations and perform a search technique later on.
Noire watched all of this play out from the sidelines.
If he didn't place a protective charm on Yinfer, they would most likely target her as well.
However, since they didn't seem to target Yinfer, he didn't care.
Meanwhile, on the other side, when Rui caught a glimpse of Yinfer, she also assumed that Yinfer was an ordinary mortal. Thus, an abominable idea of capturing Yinfer and handing her as a slave suddenly lit up in her mind, prompting her to lick her lips in a meaningful manner.
