"I never expected Master Tianyu to descend upon my Tianji Island and not be able to welcome him from afar. How rude."
The void trembled slightly. The Dongxuan Sanren, whose voice had been heard but whose person had never been seen, finally appeared.
When the four words 'Tianyu Zhenren' came from Dongxuan Sansan, all the powerful figures present were startled. That was the legendary being who had reached the pinnacle of Tongming, and might even step into higher realms.
Tianyu Zhenren, on the Tianwu Continent, only legends about her exist; almost no one has ever seen her face.
However, Tianyu Zhenren was the palace master of Guanghan Palace, and the power of ice was terrifying and formidable. As soon as she arrived, anyone whose cultivation reached that level sensed the terrifying and boundless power of the opponent.
Although he didn't know her, everyone guessed her identity, because in this world, only Master Tianyu had mastered the power of ice to such a terrifying level.
In fact, all the snow falling was formed from Ye Zhiqiu's power. The icy power on Master Tianyu hadn't leaked out at all, but those who reached that level could sense it.
He was a senior and powerful figure, so even Qu Jianying, the old man, and others stood up, and Dongxuan Sanren had to come out to greet him.
"No need to be so polite, everyone. We've lived in seclusion for many years, and now that a great era has arrived and prodigies are emerging, it's the perfect time to come out and see what we've gotten and stretched. Otherwise, this body will really rust." Master Tianyu smiled faintly.
Her voice was soft and graceful, pleasant to the ear. Unlike Ye Zhiqiu, who seemed to speak with ice shards in her mouth, she had mastered her power perfectly, no different from an ordinary person. On the surface, no one could tell she was a terrifying ice cultivator.
Although Master Tianyu looked very young, he was a bona fide old monster, much older than any of the other strong beings present.
"No need to be so polite, senior. May I ask where you would like to sit?" Dongxuan Sanren cupped his hands and smiled, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
Everyone knew about Ye Zhiqiu's relationship with Long Chen, and since Tianyu Zhenren was Ye Zhiqiu's master, if Tianyu Zhenren were Ye Zhiqiu's reinforcements, that would be troublesome.
Master Tianyu smiled slightly and said, "I'll just sit here for a while. You don't need to worry about me. Today, I'm just a spectator." As
he spoke, Master Tianyu found a spot to sit in the neutral zone.
Ye Zhiqiu bowed to Tianyu Zhenren and, under everyone's watchful eyes, walked toward the Tianwu Alliance.
"This ...," Dongxuan Sanren looked at Master Tianyu.
"Young people have their own ideas, and I can't control them. Before she joined my Guanghan, I promised her I would never take away her status as a Dragonblood Legion warrior.
But you don't need to make things difficult. When she uses her identity as a Dragonblood Warrior, she is no longer a disciple of Guanghan Palace, so you bear all the grudges. In other words, if she dies at your hands, I won't help either." "Master Tianyu said calmly.
Although he said this, Dongxuan Sanren was still uneasy. But even then, there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave.
There was still more than an hour before Long Chen's agreed time. Strong figures were arriving one after another, and when a woman walked over slowly, it caused another commotion.
The woman was tall and slender, dressed in white with long hair flowing down, bright eyes and white teeth, a peach-like face and jade-like cheeks. With her graceful steps, she carried a certain mysterious rhythm, like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world. Her temperament was elegant, gentle, and friendly.
"It's Fairy Qin."
That person was none other than Ziyan, the Qin Fairy. At this moment, Ziyan was even more composed than before entering the Yin-Yang Realm. Her eyes shone softly, without sharpness, exuding a mature charm.
Ziyan seemed more mature and wise than before. Even facing the gaze of so many powerful figures, she remained calm and unfazed, unshaken by honor or disgrace.
"I heard this woman has some ambiguous relationships with Long Chen. I don't know if that's true or not." Mo Nian couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
Sitting next to Ye Lingshan, Ye Zhiqiu, who had been silent all along, glanced at Mo Nian and coldly spat out two words:
"Bitch."
"Pfft
." Ye Lingshan suddenly burst out laughing, Even Qu Jianying laughed; no one expected Ye Zhiqiu to utter such two words.
Mo Nian was speechless for a moment, but Ye Lingshan smiled and said, "Serves you right. You sowed discord for no reason and set traps for Long Chen. What Sister Zhiqiu said is absolutely right." "
Almost everyone knows about the relationship between Ye Zhiqiu and Long Chen. Back in the Eastern Wilderness Jiuli Secret Realm, Ye Zhiqiu died before Long Chen. Long Chen went mad, slaughtering all the powerful warriors and leaving rivers of blood."
Later, a powerful figure from the Moon Palace came to seize Ye Zhiqiu's body, and Long Chen protected her with his life. The love story between the two has been invented into many versions, circulating in the cultivation world and becoming a classic among love stories.
Mo Nian deliberately said in front of her that Ziyan and Long Chen were somewhat ambiguous, clearly trying to sow discord. She was indeed very despicable.
But the word "bitch" being spoken by a beauty like Ye Zhiqiu was very unique, and Ye Lingshan couldn't help but laugh.
"Ziyan greets Master Tianyu."
Ziyan first bowed slightly to him. Her voice was extremely gentle, aligning with the Heavenly Dao, as if heaven and earth were echoing her words.
Master Tianyu smiled faintly, a hint of delight appearing in his eyes: "You've actually awakened the Heavenly Sound. It seems another divine envoy is about to be born. The Seven-String Sea-Calming Zither has finally chosen you as its successor. Very good." "
Master Tianyu's words shocked all the powerful figures present. They were confused—all the heavenly music, the divine envoys, as if Master Tianyu had revealed some secret.
Ziyan smiled humbly, bowed, and then slowly walked toward the Tianwu Alliance, heading straight for Ye Zhiqiu: "
Ziyan greets sister."
Ye Zhiqiu stood up and returned the salute, saying nothing.
Last time in the Yin-Yang Realm, when Long Chen and the others were about to be swallowed by the Dark Sky Curtain, it was Ziyan who stepped in to save them.
Ye Zhiqiu originally wanted to thank him, but suddenly remembered that Ziyan was from Miaole Immortal Palace, one of the guardian forces of Tianwu Continent, and a neutral sect. It wasn't appropriate to thank her at this moment.
However, when Ziyan reached the Tianwu Alliance camp, the faces of the powerful figures from Dan Valley and the other factions changed somewhat.
"Bastard!"
Di Feng's fist was already clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. He was jealous.
What kind of monster did Long Chen take on to seduce those favored daughters of heaven?
Not only was Di Feng jealous, but Jiao Qi Zhenjun, Huo Lie Yun, and all the prodigies present were all jealous.
How exalted is Fairy Ziyan's status? He didn't even glance at any prodigy, so how could he be so devoted to Long Chen?
Ziyan's Joy in the Dao is the cultivation technique closest to the Heavenly Dao, without exception. Looking across the entire Tianwu Continent, her realm is the highest. Her Joy in the Dao can assist others, spread the Dao through music, and merge heaven and earth, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
Who knows how many prodigies dream of becoming Dao partners with Ziyan, cultivating both spirit and spirit, having a beauty as beautiful as a celestial being who favors them, and whose cultivation can soar to the clouds—in this world, there is stillIs there a higher ideal than this?
But Ziyan showed no respect to anyone and was devoted only to Long Chen. Long Chen hurt her several times, even drawing his sword to kill her. Yet she still could not forget him. Any man would be driven mad with jealousy.
What does it mean to see Ziyan calling Ye Zhiqiu 'sister' now? Is this about to join the team? All the women serving one husband? Is there any justice left in this?
"Hello, my name is Mo Nian. I'm Long Chen's good brother. We've met before..." Mo Nian stood up as well.
"Hello, I can't stay here for long. After seeing you, sister, I'm heading back now. Sorry for the rudeness, please forgive me."
Ziyan greeted Mo Nian politely, then left without hesitation, returning to the neutral zone and finding a suitable place to sit.
"Damn, are you really not giving me any face?"
A bitterness flashed across Mo Nian's face.
Ye Zhiqiu slowly sat down, feeling a bit puzzled. Just as she was about to speak, Ziyan actually sent her a voice transmission, saying something odd: "We are all destined inheritors of Tianwu." She
didn't know what Ziyan meant by that, but from the literal meaning, she probably wouldn't be considered an enemy in the future.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her master with some confusion. Master Tianyu smiled slightly and transmitted his voice: "She's right. She's already taken that step, but you haven't yet." Ye
Zhiqiu was slightly startled, as if something had occurred to her.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, the void split open, and a powerful pressure surged forth, with one figure after another appearing.
Yu Xiaoyun, the master of Dan Valley, had arrived. Along with him were other overlord-level experts: Xie Wentian from the evil path, Emperor Long from the Ancient Family Alliance, Peng Wanli from the Xuan Beast clan, Zhong Ziyang from the Blood Slaughter Hall, and Long Jun Cang from the ancient clan.
All these people were powerful figures, yet they all showed up. Including Dongxuan Sanren, the master of Tianji Island, and the overlords who had once descended at the Tianwu Alliance headquarters and forced Qu Jianying to expel Long Chen, all of them had arrived.
"Greetings, Master Tianyu."
Yu Xiaoyun and the others cupped their fists slightly to him. After all, Master Tianyu held such a high seniority that even they dared not act arrogantly.
Master Tianyu nodded slightly without saying anything. She had already made it clear that she was just here to watch the spectacle, not to steal the spotlight.
"Haha, what a lively scene. With so many patrons here, our Huayun Sect should join in too. We hope we'll get kicked out, right?"
At that moment, two people walked in. The one in front was Hua Mingxiong, the deputy sect leader of Huayun Sect, and the young man behind was Zheng Wenlong.
Today, Ma Ruyun, the sect leader of Huayun Sect, did not come, but almost everyone recognized Hua Mingxiong, because most of the affairs of Huayun Sect were managed by him.
"Of course not. With Shopkeeper Hua's arrival, we can't wait to welcome him. It's a good chance to witness together how Long Chen died. It's a pity to miss out." Yu Xiaoyun sneered.
Hua Mingxiong smiled faintly and was about to speak when suddenly a cynical voice came from afar, causing the strong figures present to tighten their hearts:
"You probably won't see how I, Long Chen, died. But I have a great chance to send you to rest in peace."
