Chapter 311 - 309: A Father’s Doubt
There are many theories about the Ruins.
But one thing remains unchanged: indeed, many cultivators have gained fairy fate and inheritance inside.
Even many of the current arrays, cultivation techniques, pill formulas, and so on in the Immortal Country are obtained from the Ruins.
However, most are fragmented, and few are complete.
This is actually normal, given the long existence and severe erosion over the years.
The people of this region still find this situation abnormal, but Yan Yu knows that such cases are no longer rare.
Moreover, these occurrences are not limited to the Great Yan Immortal Country.
Nowadays, such things are happening more and more...
Strangely, the Empress sent her to this region in advance.
Was it a coincidence?
...
On the flying ship.
Qin Yu finally got what he wished for.
Mainly because Sect Leader was concerned for his sister’s safety and couldn’t care about much else.
Initially, Qin Yu was proud.
But he didn’t remain proud for long because he overlooked one problem.
He was already no match for one Sect Leader, let alone a little demoness.
Along the way.
Qin Yu was badly bullied.
Only by relying on the Pure Yang Divine Body did he regain a little face.
What a worry.
He still wasn’t strong enough!
However, the Divine Body was only at the Third Layer; he still had plenty of room to improve!
By then, he would make the Sect Leader and the little demoness completely submit.
Lin Xian City.
Lights whizzed in, and powerful figures descended from the flying ship.
These were Golden Core cultivators from across Cyan Mist Hall’s domains, rushing to Lin Xian City by decree.
Even within the Immortal Sect, they were Elder-level figures, renowned and prestigious, but now, they all restrained their arrogance and entered the small city in an orderly manner.
City Lord’s Mansion.
A slender figure stood to the side, a woman in a light, plain dress, her skin like white snow, eyebrows like emerald feathers, her delicate face exuding a clear and gentle charm that moved people’s hearts.
Yet, facing this figure, the passing cultivators were filled with awe and did not dare show any disrespect.
"Palace Envoy."
A group of people approached quickly, led by Demon Sect Leader Leng Feng, who came before this woman and bowed in greeting.
It was none other than Palace Envoy Luo Lizhu.
However, it puzzled him because Cyan Mist Hall was far from here, so how did the Palace Envoy arrive?!
Moreover, it seemed like the Hall Master was already here.
Could it be that the Hall Master had foreseen the Ruins Rift would have an incident, so they arrived early?
"Please, Sect Leader Leng and everyone else leave your life tokens first and wait for further notice."
Luo Lizhu glanced around and pointed to a nearby side hall.
Guessing the Hall Master was already here, Leng Feng didn’t ask much but led the Demon Sect’s Golden Core Elders to the side hall.
This mission was dangerous; Cyan Mist Hall required them to leave their life token, which made sense.
After finishing in the side hall, Luo Lizhu didn’t keep them at the City Lord’s Mansion. When they came out, one elder couldn’t help but ask, "Not even arranged a place for us—are we to find our own lodging?"
"Do you think only Golden Core cultivators from the ten regions have come?"
Leng Feng shot him a cold look, and the elder immediately fell silent.
After Cyan Mist Hall issued the decree, Golden Core cultivators from the ten regions would gather, but they were not the only ones in the Golden Core Realm.
The City Lord’s Mansion was only so big, definitely not enough to accommodate everyone.
Besides, what right did they have to stay in the same mansion as the Hall Master?!
The Golden Core elder realized his mistake and dared not retort.
Leng Feng didn’t mind, even if he had to find a corner, he felt it was no problem. In his youth, he was hunted by three geniuses from the Hundred Sword Sect, underwent a half-year escape before retaliating and defeating them all. During those months of fleeing, he faced every kind of hardship, disdain, and neglect.
"Swish!"
Another flying ship swept over, landing outside the city.
Soon, a commotion erupted outside, with voices of amazement.
With his keen hearing, Leng Feng naturally heard it; it seemed there was some extraordinary fairy appearing, but it did not pique his interest.
He proudly thought that, when it came to beauties, his beloved daughter Leng Ruyu was second to none, even surpassing First Fairy Su Xiyue.
"Sect Leader."
Leng Feng turned to leave, but an elder suddenly called out, "That, that looked like..."
Leng Feng frowned, wondering what kind of beauty could have such an effect on this old man.
How superficial!
"It looked like Ruyu."
A middle-aged woman next to him spoke in surprise.
"Impossible."
Leng Feng turned back, glancing towards the group approaching the City Lord’s Mansion under numerous admiring glances.
Leading the group was the First Beauty of Yunlan Domain and Cyan Mountain Sect Master... Su Xihe.
And behind her were Qin Yu and Su Xiyue...
Wait!
What’s going on?!
The figure beside Su Xiyue!
Is that my little cabbage?!
"It’s really Ruyu?!"
The Demon Sect elders were puzzled.
Isn’t she their Demon Sect Leader?!
How is she walking alongside those from Cyan Mountain Sect?
Moreover, she was so close and natural with her past rival Su Xiyue?
Leng Feng’s brow furrowed slightly.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to see his daughter, but the journey to the Ruins Rift was extremely dangerous, and he didn’t want her to be harmed.
Moreover, wasn’t his daughter only at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment? Why would she come along?
Wait.
"Se... Sect Leader!"
An elder from the Demon Sect spoke with a hint of excitement, "Ruyu seems... seems to be in the Golden Core Realm!"
Actually, Leng Feng didn’t need the reminder; he had already noticed.
The aura around Leng Ruyu was round and complete, clearly a sign of entering the Golden Core Realm.
It seemed his beloved daughter’s injuries had healed, and she had gained a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm through the calamity.
Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, such a major event, and she hadn’t even informed him.
The old father’s heart was full of joy, not giving it much thought.
He thought Leng Ruyu must have just broken through and, upon hearing the Hall Master’s decree from Cyan Mist Hall, joined Cyan Mountain Sect to head to Lin Xian City.
But just as Leng Feng was about to step forward, he saw Luo Lizhu, who had remained at the doorway, suddenly stride out, heading straight towards the Cyan Mountain Sect group.
"Palace Envoy."
Su Xihe saluted.
"Eh?"
Luo Lizhu was a bit surprised in her heart. This First Beauty of Yunlan Domain seemed to have become even more radiant?!
Luo Lizhu nodded slightly, her gaze meaningfully falling on Qin Yu behind.
"Palace Envoy."
In front of everyone, Qin Yu did not call her "sister" directly.
It wasn’t that he feared Su Xihe and her companions’ reproach, but because there were many cultivators around, calling the Palace Envoy "sister" seemed too high-profile, not in line with his style.
