Miaojiang, somewhere within this primitive forest, a figure clad in black and wearing a purple mask stood, the very same mysterious woman who had appeared earlier in the Blood Demon Sect's cave.
Soon, six graceful silhouettes abruptly appeared before this mysterious woman. Each of these six was dressed in long skirts of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, their delicate features radiant with an aura that seemed to lift them above the mundane world, much like the legendary seven fairies.
"Greetings, Saintess!"
The six women knelt on one knee, looking up at the woman with the purple mask with faces full of reverence.
"He is at a critical moment of his breakthrough. To prevent the Blood Demon Sect from intervening again, all six of you must guard that valley and forbid anyone from entering and disturbing him," said the black-clad woman with the purple mask, her voice crisp and commanding.
"As you command, Saintess," the six women nodded in unison.
