Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Lady Xiangg held immense prestige in the Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities. She was an extraordinary woman known for her great wisdom, iron-fisted methods, steady temperament, and calculating nature.

Ye Wushuang was also quite curious about her.

Guessing the identity of his visitor, Ye Wushuang rose, walked forward, and clasped his fist in salute. "I greet you, Lady Xiangg!"

"Ye Wushuang!"

Lady Xiangg turned her head slightly, her eyes fixed on Ye Wushuang as she uttered his name.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang wasn’t surprised in the least. ’Guo Yurong must have told her our names,’ he thought.

"I came to the mansion unannounced and failed to pay my respects to you, my lady. I hope you can forgive my rudeness."

Now that he had confirmed she was Lady Xiangg, Ye Wushuang clasped his fist again. Regardless of his reasons for being here, she was the mistress of King Xiangg’s Mansion, while he was merely a guest who was imposing on her hospitality.

"Since you saved Yurong, you are a guest of King Xiangg’s Mansion. You are naturally welcome here."

Lady Xiangg also stood up. Her mature figure slowly drew closer to Ye Wushuang, her eyes fixed on him, radiating a bewitching and utterly soul-stealing charm.

Ye Wushuang felt a stir in his heart but quickly suppressed it. ’Is this really that legendary woman, Lady Xiangg?’ he couldn’t help but wonder.

Lady Xiangg sized up Ye Wushuang, a strange glint flashing in the depths of her eyes. After a moment, she asked, "How old are you?"

How old?

Ye Wushuang was slightly taken aback, his gaze sharpening. ’This lady sought me out in the middle of the night just to ask my age?’

Ye Wushuang didn’t understand what Lady Xiangg was up to, but his age wasn’t something he needed to hide. He answered, "I am nearly twenty."

"Twenty... that’s close enough," Lady Xiangg murmured to herself, then looked up. "This is for you. It should be of some help!"

As she spoke, she handed Ye Wushuang a silver Token. The two characters for "Xiangg" were branded on its surface, and a Spiritual Light flowed within it, emanating a profound aura.

"What is this?" Ye Wushuang was completely baffled by the lady’s intentions. First, she came in the middle of the night to ask his age, and now she was giving him something. ’This doesn’t seem as simple as it looks on the surface.’

"A useful little trinket." Lady Xiangg glanced at Ye Wushuang and said, "Get some rest. I won’t disturb you any longer."

With that, Lady Xiangg turned, took a single step, and ripples spread through the void. Her mature, graceful body vanished into thin air.

Such a powerful technique was even more terrifying than the spatial passages constructed by Yin Yang Powerhouses at the Sun Destruction Level.

’This Lady Xiangg’s methods are truly terrifying!’

Ye Wushuang guessed that such a technique could only be wielded by someone at the Nirvana Realm at least!

This meant that Lady Xiangg was a Nirvana Great Power!

The thought shocked Ye Wushuang. He then furrowed his brow and examined the Token again and again, but he couldn’t find anything unusual about it.

"Forget it. I’m leaving tomorrow anyway," Ye Wushuang muttered. Lady Xiangg’s sudden visit was definitely not simple, but since he couldn’t figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it. He would set off for the Holy City tomorrow, and everything else was none of his concern.

Tucking the Token away, Ye Wushuang once again sat cross-legged on the bed and began the Refinement of the power he had devoured.

This time, he had devoured a large number of Beastman soldiers, as well as a Yin Yang Powerhouse. It was enough for him to reach the Peak of Spiritual Spring Eighth Layer.

However, after a moment’s hesitation, Ye Wushuang decided to seize this opportunity to break through to the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer.

The journey to the Holy City would not be peaceful. An extra layer of Cultivation meant an extra layer of self-protection. Once he broke through to the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer, he could continuously polish and solidify his foundation, so he wouldn’t have to worry about it being unstable.

Ye Wushuang immediately took stock of the treasures he had scavenged and suddenly realized... he was quite poor!

If he wanted to advance to the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer, he would have to consume at least ninety percent of his resources. This meant he would soon be joining the ranks of the "poor."

"Forging the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body consumes way too many resources!" Ye Wushuang gave a bitter smile. Although the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon granted him a heaven-defying physique, talent, and Combat Power, the resource consumption was simply immense.

However, having made his decision, Ye Wushuang didn’t hesitate. He activated the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique to devour and refine his remaining resources, aiming for the Ninth Layer.

The next day, Lan Xinyu and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc woke early and waited outside Ye Wushuang’s room. When Ye Wushuang pushed the door open, the aura around him had changed considerably.

Lan Xinyu and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc both sensed it. Lan Xinyu asked joyfully, "Young Master Ye, did you break through again?"

Ye Wushuang smiled faintly and nodded. After using up all his assets, he had finally advanced to the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer.

"We leave for the Holy City today."

Ye Wushuang glanced at the sky and announced his decision. A maid then led them to the main hall to bid farewell to Guo Yurong, who happened to be there already.

In the main hall, Lady Xiangg sat at the head. Her soul-stealing charm was reined in, replaced by an air of nobility and composure.

Seeing the three of them arrive, Guo Yurong asked, "Young Master Ye, are you...?"

"The three of us have come to bid farewell to you, my lady, and to you, Miss Guo. Thank you both for your hospitality," Ye Wushuang said with a cupped fist, then glanced at Lady Xiangg.

Lady Xiangg also looked at Ye Wushuang. "Since you have urgent matters to attend to, Young Master Ye, I won’t keep you. You saved Yurong, so if you ever need help in the future, you may come to King Xiangg’s Mansion."

"I certainly will," Ye Wushuang replied politely.

"Yurong, see Young Master Ye out," Lady Xiangg called to Guo Yurong. Guo Yurong acknowledged the order and led Ye Wushuang out of King Xiangg’s Mansion.

However, Ye Wushuang did not know that as Lady Xiangg watched his departing figure, a meaningful smile suddenly bloomed on her face.

"What an interesting little man. I believe we’ll be seeing each other again very soon!"

Muttering this, Lady Xiangg propped her head on one hand and leaned back languidly in her chair, striking an utterly alluring pose.

After leaving King Xiangg’s Mansion, the trio obtained a map and began their journey toward the Holy City.

Meanwhile, on the walls of the city gate leading to the Grand Emperor Holy City, a middle-aged man in Battle Armor stared with sinister eyes at the figures disappearing over the horizon. He exuded the powerful aura of the Yin Yang Realm, far surpassing that of an ordinary person.

A soldier stepped forward to report, "General Qian, Ye Wushuang has left."

"He left!"

Hearing this, a cold expression spread across the face of the man called General Qian. "You killed my son, Qian Tong! I, Qian Heng, will hunt you to the ends of the earth! Ye Wushuang, you just wait for me!"

Qian Heng was, of course, Qian Tong’s father. He was also a powerhouse at the Yin Yang Realm, Sun Destruction Third Layer, possessing an immense Power of Slaughter that made him exceptionally formidable.

Ye Wushuang had no idea that he was now being targeted by Qian Heng.

At the same time, three days after Ye Wushuang’s departure, a sudden announcement came from King Xiangg’s Mansion.

Lady Xiangg, who had long guarded her chastity like jade, was going to select a husband to jointly guard the Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities.

However, the selection of the husband was set for six months later.

Although no one knew the reason for this, the news was enough to shake the entire Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities.

Lady Xiangg not only guarded the Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities and held immense power, but more importantly, she was a peerless beauty—a mature woman who could make any man’s heart race.

Marrying Lady Xiangg would be a matter of immense pride for any man. As a result, many began to make preparations in secret.
