Chapter 467: She’s Too Good, I Can’t Outplay Her
Sword Palace.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, thousands of spirit swords surrounded Bai Ruoxi. The rules of heaven and earth became incredibly strict at this moment, seemingly wanting to restrict the appearance of a Transcendence Realm expert.
After all, the Transcendence Realm was beyond the scope of the rules of heaven and earth, which wasn’t beneficial to the Heavenly Dao.
However, possessing the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and not resonating with the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Human in the Nine Provinces, even the rules of heaven and earth could only slightly restrict, but not completely stop Bai Ruoxi’s Transcendence.
Yao Meng’s green dress fluttered, her jade feet sparkling. She stood in the void, her hair swaying in the wind, cool and elegant like a fairy in a painting.
She quietly protected the Sword Emperor, deterring the forbidden beings lurking in the dark, who seemed to be getting restless.
Not only in the Eastern Continent, but throughout the Nine Provinces, great powers were secretly watching this scene.
However, times had changed. With the Jade Empress personally protecting her, naturally no one dared to interfere.
And those ‘gods’ who had recently descended from the alien starry sky were even more apprehensive. The rules of heaven and earth clearly had restrictions, yet under these circumstances, a Dao Integration Realm expert still forcibly broke through the restrictions of the heavenly rules and transcended?
“Something’s not right. If the Jade Empress’s Transcendence was a coincidence, then the Sword Emperor also transcending is problematic…”
At this moment, Huang Weifeng, who had just left the ancestral land, also sensed the terrifying destructive aura in the Eastern Continent. At the same time, a soft murmur from a woman in a white dress echoed in his mind.
“Could Master mean… Transcendence can be man-made?” Huang Feng transmitted his voice inwardly to ask.
Within the storage ring, Xue Yi, in a white dress, sat in the void, her posture elegant, but her expression held a hint of seriousness and contemplation.
Hearing Huang Feng’s words, she gently shook her head: “To say it’s man-made is too unbelievable. I’ve never heard of anyone being able to artificially create a ‘Human Emperor’.”
During this trip to the Lan Clan Ancestral Land, with her help, Huang Feng’s harvest was quite bountiful. Although he didn’t obtain the ‘Luck’ bestowed by the Spirit Dragon, he did obtain a second-grade formation and many medicinal pills from the ancestral land.
These pills weren’t of much help to a Southern Wilderness god, but to someone of Huang Feng’s realm, they were quite helpful.
“Mu Zhian has been in the Abyssal Lands and still hasn’t come out. Master, should we stay here and wait for him to come out, then…” A fierce glint flashed in Huang Feng’s eyes.
“You have no deep hatred with Mu Zhian. Moreover, he has the Jade Empress backing him. Rashly attacking him isn’t a good idea.”
“Besides, he’s at Nascent Soul Realm now. Are you really sure you can deal with him?”
Hearing this, Huang Feng recalled the scene of being defeated by Mu Zhian in front of so many people in the Lan Clan’s main hall.
He hadn’t tasted defeat since transmigrating, yet he lost to a minor villain, and in front of the Lan sisters… Thinking of this, Huang Feng subconsciously clenched his fists, anger rising in his chest.
His original plan was to find another Heaven-Chosen One and form an alliance with her… If their relationship could develop further during this time, it would be even better.
However, he didn’t expect Mu Zhian to have established a good relationship with the Lan sisters before him, which was truly hateful.
“There will be opportunities for revenge, but what’s more important now is restoring my power,” Xue Yi said softly.
“But the other Heaven-Chosen One seems to still be in secluded cultivation within the ancestral land… Disciple wants to wait for her if possible—”
Huang Feng hesitated slightly.
A cold glint flashed in Xue Yi’s eyes.
She had already made it so clear, why couldn’t he understand?
The next moment, a pale white light shone from Huang Feng’s storage ring.
A slender and elegant figure appeared before him.
Xue Yi floated in mid-air, looking incredibly holy.
She lowered her gentle eyes and said softly, “The priority isn’t Mu Zhian, but for you to improve your own strength… After you go to the Southern Wilderness this time, I will guide you to the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall. There are measures I left behind there.”
Huang Feng hesitated slightly, but seeing Xue Yi’s gentle gaze, he ultimately nodded gently.
“Everything will be according to Master’s arrangements.”
…
Boom…
The destructive aura emitted by the Heavenly Tribulation was gradually subsiding. Yao Meng looked up at the imposing and beautiful figure standing between heaven and earth and murmured to herself, “It seems to be going smoothly.”
The truly difficult tribulation had passed. After this, as long as Gong Lianyue successfully passed through the nine levels of lightning tribulation, she could truly transcend and ascend.
Gong Lianyue was someone who clearly distinguished love and hate, yet the person protecting her this time was the woman she hated the most… She didn’t know what Gong Lianyue’s attitude towards her would be afterward.
Thinking of this, Yao Meng’s lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upwards. She casually glanced back in the direction of the Sword Palace.
However, this glance made her gaze freeze slightly.
The young man who should have been waiting for her before the Sword Palace, along with that dazed and natural girl, had completely vanished.
“…Where are they?”
…
In the quiet mountain forest.
Hearing Shang Yanfei’s slightly surprised question, Mu Zhian was first stunned, then quickly realized who the ‘she’ Sect Master Sister was referring to was.
Had the Sect Master completely dropped the act?
Just like that, indirectly admitting that Lan Shihuai giving him the chaotic aura was part of her plan?
Mu Zhian couldn’t help but look up at the woman before him.
The exquisite and beautiful face of the woman in the magnificent black robe appeared in his vision, her sexy and alluring red lips, her imposing pale golden eyes, and the surprise hidden deep within her eyes.
As a ‘best actor’, seeing her expression, Mu Zhian only felt bewildered. Only one thought surfaced in his mind: Crap, I can’t seem to read her.
For Young Master Mu, who had navigated the flowers for many years, when interacting with any woman, he could more or less sense their thoughts. However, at this moment, he couldn’t tell whether Shang Yanfei was acting or truly surprised that he had chaotic aura within his body.
“Sect Master, with your ability to perceive destiny, did you not know that Senior Sister’s ancestor gave me the chaotic aura?”
Looking at Shang Yanfei’s graceful curves outlined by the black magnificent robe, Mu Zhian asked calmly.
Shang Yanfei quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes, gently toying with a strand of hair, and said faintly, “I’ve never left the Two Polarities Sect, I don’t know much about outside affairs.”
I don’t believe you… Mu Zhian complained inwardly.
He even had the feeling that this big shark in the fishpond knew everything he was doing.
Oh, no, it’s not even certain whether she’s the fish in the fishpond or whether Mu Zhian is the fish.
Shang Yanfei glanced at him with a smile, then shifted her gaze to Lin Ling.
“Someone from the Imperial Kitchen Hall sent over a freshly roasted spirit chicken not long ago. I had them leave it in the courtyard. If you’re hungry, you can go and enjoy it first.”
Lin Ling’s eyes lit up, but then she seemed to recall something, pointed at Mu Zhian, and held up her small notebook: “What about him?”
“He’ll come find you later.”
Seeing Lin Ling still hesitant, Shang Yanfei couldn’t help but smile: “Are you afraid I’ll eat him?”
Lin Ling then nodded gently, giving Mu Zhian one last look.
“It’s fine, you go first, I’ll be there soon,” Mu Zhian smiled.
Although his heart was racing, he still pretended to be calm.
Gong Lianyue was currently undergoing the tribulation to transcend and ascend, and Yao Meng was protecting her. But once the tribulation was over, if they couldn’t find him… it would be troublesome.
After all, the only person with Mu Zhian at that time was Lin Ling. If Lin Ling also disappeared with Mu Zhian, it would be obvious he was at the Two Polarities Sect.
If they saw him chatting idly with Shang Yanfei in the sect, Yao Meng might not say anything on the surface, but perhaps afterward she would say: Husband, I didn’t expect you to be having a secret affair with your Sect Master behind my back, I’m so heartbroken.
Then the World-Purifying Seeds would turn into countless vines, binding Young Master Mu and throwing him into the Jade Pool… That would be a bad ending.
Not to mention Ruoxi. Although she was obedient and well-behaved, she actually had some possessiveness. Perhaps one day, if she felt wronged, she would take Young Master Mu to the little black room in the Sword Palace.
No matter what, he had to return to the Sword Palace soon.
Shang Yanfei didn’t seem to notice Mu Zhian’s thoughts. She gently extended her hand under the shade of the tree.
Butterflies danced gracefully under the shade. Then, as if sensing Shang Yanfei’s call, they fluttered their wings and flew over, finally landing on her fingertip.
“Are you in a hurry to go back?” she asked casually.
Although her gaze was on the butterfly on her fingertip, for some reason, Mu Zhian felt that her attention was actually on him.
“Not exactly in a hurry, just worried that Ruoxi will be worried if she can’t find me after her Transcendence Tribulation. I came rather hastily,” Mu Zhian explained tactfully.
Shang Yanfei smiled brightly: “You’re truly considerate, always thinking of others.”
“But you can rest assured, the Transcendence Tribulation will take at least half a day. It’s fine for you to rest for a while in the sect.”
Could Sect Master Sister mean she wants to spend more time with me…? Mu Zhian thought to himself, but on the surface, he was quite respectful, nodding demurely, “Then I’ll wait for Lin Ling to finish her snacks before leaving.”
Mu Zhian looked at the cheerful smile on her beautiful face. For some reason, his heart raced inexplicably, feeling an indescribable charm attracting his eyes.
This special feeling almost made Mu Zhian involuntarily want to indulge in it.
“Come and sit.”
Shang Yanfei said with a gentle and calm smile, beckoning slightly towards Mu Zhian.
Their gazes met. Mu Zhian was momentarily lost in thought. When he came back to his senses, he was already walking towards the ancient tree.
As he got closer, under the dappled sunlight filtering through the ancient tree’s branches and leaves, a mysterious and strange black mist seemed to silently spread, making her face appear somewhat hazy, difficult to see clearly.
After sitting down before the ancient tree, Mu Zhian discreetly glanced at the woman beneath the tree, a sudden impulse rising within him.
An impulse to get a little closer, to see her face clearly.
However, he still managed to suppress this impulse.
He was a disciple of the Two Polarities Sect. The thought of disrespecting the Sect Master was fine to think about, but actually acting on it was completely different.
However, it had to be said, although this woman’s bosom wasn’t as large as Bai Ruoxi’s, it was still full and perky, even straining the slightly loose black magnificent robe.
She sat under the shade of the tree with her legs bent, a pair of delicate jade feet peeking out from beneath her skirt, appearing translucent and beautiful against the black fabric.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Shang Yanfei’s cool voice came from beside him.
Mu Zhian snapped back to reality, realizing the woman was looking at him at some unknown point, a playful glint in her pale golden eyes.
He coughed lightly, discreetly shifting his gaze from her bare feet, and said, “I heard from Lin Ling that Sect Master’s Luck seems to have some problems, so you need chaotic aura to suppress the bad luck?”
“Since you already know, why ask again?”
Shang Yanfei said faintly, “Chaotic aura can suppress bad luck, but even Dao Integration Realm experts can’t refine it. Even if you obtain the third portion of Heavenly Dao Energy, you’ll probably have to wait until Soul Transformation Realm before your Innate Celestial Furnace can refine the chaotic aura.”
Mu Zhian nodded slightly, then asked humbly and sincerely, “Then after I refine the chaotic aura… how do I give it to Sect Master?”
“Does Sect Master Sister have any method to transfer the sacred object from the Innate Celestial Furnace?”
For a moment, there was no sound under the ancient tree, only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
After a while, Shang Yanfei’s crisp and pleasant voice echoed softly under the ancient tree: “I have no way, but you do.”
She turned her head, gazing at Mu Zhian, his face reflected in her pale golden eyes.
“As for the method… just as you’re thinking.”
Mu Zhian was silent for a moment: “Sometimes I really wonder if Sect Master has mind-reading abilities.”
“I don’t know mind-reading, nor do I know how to guess people’s hearts,” Shang Yanfei shook her head, denying Mu Zhian’s words.
I don’t believe you… Mu Zhian complained inwardly. Every time he saw this peerlessly beautiful Sect Master, he always felt like she could see right through him.
“I truly don’t know what you’re usually thinking in your heart.”
As if seeing through Mu Zhian’s current thoughts, Shang Yanfei suddenly said casually.
She paused, then continued, “However, I can guess what you’re thinking right now.”
Mu Zhian smiled, “Want to bet something? I bet you can’t guess.”
A faint smile appeared in Shang Yanfei’s eyes: “If I guess wrong, I can agree to any one of your conditions. Similarly, if I guess correctly, you also agree to one of my conditions, how about it?”
“Okay.”
Mu Zhian immediately agreed.
Anyway, no matter what she said, he could just deny it. She couldn’t say he was lying.
The beauty in the black magnificent robe casually looked up, her eyes sizing him up playfully, a faint curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
She placed one hand on the grass and gently caressed his face with the other, an intoxicating fragrance lingering around his nose.
“I guess—”
Shang Yanfei leaned down, her alluring red lips close to Mu Zhian’s ear, her sweet voice, which could make one’s bones melt, gently echoing in his ear.
“You want to fuck me right now…”
“Right?”
