An alluring veiled maiden in white was seen standing at the heaven gate of the Clear Sky Pavilion when Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei, Qin Keqin, Lu Qingyun and all the rest that were with them had arrived at the scene.
Although everyone could only see the alluring eyes of this alluring veiled maiden, it was as though her eyes could speak and there were many expressions to it as she flashed her unhappiness and annoyances to all the onlookers.
Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei took a quick look around and she was stunned to see that there were hundreds of protégés that were rolling on the ground, including several of the elders of the Clear Sky Pavilion.
In such a short time, this alluring veiled maiden had broken through tens of celestial sword arrays and formations.
"Pavilion Mistress is here!…"
"We are unable to stop this intruder…"
Lu Qingyun was startled as he recognized the alluring veiled maiden as he thought, "It is indeed Fairy Jade Light…"
Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei muttered with shock at the hundreds of fallen protégés, "This is..?"
The alluring veiled maiden had a lofty presence and when everyone had looked at her, it seemed as though the heavens and earth had stood still. It was as though she was the heavens herself.
Ouyang Xue and Leng Qiuyue were staring at her with their eyes wide-opened, "She is Fairy Jade Light?…"
Lie Xingyuan gasped softly, "What a terrifying presence…"
Without a doubt, this alluring veiled maiden was a seventh realm expert because she could even cause fear into the hearts of the fifth realm experts like Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei and Qiuxiang Huan.
The alluring veiled maiden turned to look at Qin Keqin and said, "Where have you been? Why didn't you look for me? Do you know that I have a hard time tracking you? Why did you turn off your transmission?"
Qin Keqin smiled weakly, "I've something today."
Then she turned to smile at Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei, "This is my mother consort Fairy Jade Light."
This Fairy Jade Light was actually the Great Goddess Heaveness.
"Come quickly with me."
With that the Great Goddess Heaveness had departed in a flash of white light, stunning everyone. It was because they had never seen anyone that could move in such a fast manner.
"This…this is the strength of a seventh realm expert?!"
From the expressions of the Great Goddess Heaveness, it was clear to Qin Keqin that she was unhappy with her. Therefore she did not dare to linger for long as she muttered, "Don't worry, all your protégés are all alive…"
When Qin Keqin had reached the scene, she had quickly swept through the hundreds of protégés for their vital signs.
Before anyone could react to Qin Keqin's comments, she had disappeared in a flash of black light.
Everyone was stunned.
It seemed to them that Qin Keqin had moved with equally astonishing speed and had disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei was totally stunned and she was trembling. It was as though she had seen a monster.
She had definitely met a few seventh realm experts in her life but none of them could actually move like they did. Their level of swiftness movement had reached the unfathomable and supernatural level because this was something that could not be attained just by cultivation alone. This was martial speed at its most extreme…
Everyone had just one question on their minds, "How long did they train to reach this unfathomable speed?"
Lu Qingyun was in daze after seeing their speed display. He had remembered that the first time he had met Fairy Jade Light, he did not even know what had hit him and he was taken away in a most effortless manner and the next thing that he could remember, he was thrown into a cave…
Lie Xingyuan was stunned as she silently said, "There is really a Fairy Jade Light? And she is not Great Saintess Feng Minyue…"
Qiuxiang Huan was shaking after witnessing Qin Keqin's speed feat, "She is too terrifying…"
Lu Qingyun quickly said, "I take my leave first!" Qin Keqin must have returned to the hideout. Therefore he decided to look for her there…
And he was gone in the next instant. But compared to the two earlier maidens, Lu Qingyun was like a tortoise as he ran down the heaven steps.
Ouyang Xue said as she bowed with her eyes, "Pavilion Mistress, we got to go first as well. Thank you for your hospitality."
And she had quickly left with Leng Qiuyue and Lie Xingyuan.
Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei shook her head lightly.
Although many of her protégés were injured by Fairy Jade Light, there was no way she could even ask Fairy Jade Light for any compensation.
In the Celestial Realm, seventh realm cultivators had lofty status. The difference between a sixth realm expert and a seventh realm expert was so vast that it was like an impassable barrier. These seven realm saints and saintess were to be worshiped and had absolute authority in their domains.
At the same time, the upper echelon of saints were the great saints and on this level was another huge impassable barrier that had to be first overcome with lightning tribulation in order to transcend into a great saint.
The nine divine realms of the Nine Celestial Fraternity were originally partitioned by the great saints and saintesses into what was known as the nine patriarch clans, each ruling over a divine realm that consisted of hundreds and thousands of celestial clans.
Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei looked quietly at her daughter Qiuxiang Huan and sigh, "It is not the time for us to take over New Empyrean City…"
Against the strength of a seventh realm expert, even if there was only one, any lofty ambitions had to be first put aside.
Qiuxiang Huan suddenly said in a low voice, "Pavilion Mistress, I have a new plan…"
Pavilion Mistress Qiuxiang Mei looked curiously at her daughter, "Oh?…"

Near the vicinity of the Heavenly Fragrance Mountains;
Tang Bufan was chatting with the rest of the core protégés when a group of ten veiled female protégés from the Patriarch Clan Heavenly Fragrance Villa re-appeared suddenly.
He had of course recognized them as the same group as the one that had stopped their advance earlier.
He thought with a pleased look, "There is news from my protégé master and grandmaster so soon?" He was eager to enter the domain of the Heavenly Fragrance Villa to have a look. If this group of protégés from the Heavenly Fragrance Villa was already so beautiful, he wondered if there were more of these beauties from where they had come from.
At the same time, a hundred protégés on the same side as Tang Bufan who had all fled the Solitary Manor had all gathered hastily to face the protégés of the Patriarch Clan Heavenly Fragrance Villa with eager anticipation.
"You may all go now," a cold voice said from the maiden that was leading the group from the Patriarch Clan Heavenly Fragrance Villa.
Tang Bufan: ???
"What is going on?"
"We can go now?"
"What does she mean by that?"
"What about our Protégé Grandmaster Wen and Celestial Bai?"
The same maiden hummed coldly, "They are no longer around. If you want to join them, we shall oblige you."
Tang Bufan and all the others: …
Ximen Yong who was the most senior of the core protégés and who was also a fourth realm expert stepped in to say angrily, "Are you saying that our grandmaster is now dead?"
Everyone was looking at Ximen Yong with praises in their hearts. "Our senior protégé brother is indeed a great hero…"
"Indeed. Do you want to join him?"
Ximen Yong smiled coldly, "I just want to make sure."
"Hmph! If you dare to cross this line here, we will not hesitate to send you to join your masters. " With that the same maiden had turned around and said to her group in a low voice, "Let's go."
Ximen Yong said simply, "I bid the patriarch protégés farewell."
Two of the female protégés were in tears. They were not just any ordinary protégés but they were also the consorts of Supremacy Wen.
Ximen Yong had turned to face everyone, "From now on, I will be the new Grandmaster of the Solitary Manor and your leader."
Then he looked lecherously at the two sobbing female protégés, "And of course, I will be doing my old grandmaster a great service by taking care of his consorts."
He had unsheathed his sword as he looked at Tang Bufan and the rest of the core protégés, "So who is with me and who isn't with me?"
When he had said that, there were another ten protégés who had unsheathed their swords. But these protégés were all on the side of Ximen Yong and it included three other high level core protégés.
Tang Bufan felt like crying. He had jumped from one frying pan to another. Ever since he had joined the Heavens Ridge Villa, his luck had been going rapidly downhill.
When Ximen Yong saw that no one was protesting, he began to smile coldly. "Good. Then I shall not decline to be your grandmaster. But should you dare to disobey me then I shall send you to your graves immediately."
