Yaochi Holy Land, within the Daoist Palace Realm, one under a single person yet above thousands!
Yang Yan glanced at the shadowy figure pursuing the Yaochi Saintess.
"Daring to hunt down the Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land, it seems they are not ordinary," Yang Yan said.
Leng Bi Yue nodded.
"Yes, Master, the one chasing the Yaochi Saintess is a Shadow Assassin from the Shentian Sect.
Three years ago,
the Yaochi Saintess killed an assassin from the Shentian Sect, and since then, she has been targeted by them.
Whenever she leaves Yaochi Holy Land, assassins from the Shentian Sect attempt to pursue and kill the Yaochi Saintess," she explained.
"The assassins of the Shentian Sect are truly vengeful.
But with the Yaochi Saintess being hunted, won't the experts of Yaochi intervene?"
Yang Yan knew very little about this world.
Many things were unclear to him.
Leng Bi Yue was not surprised, knowing that the memory of the Sword Dao Emperor had not fully returned yet, so it was normal for him to be unaware of some matters.
"The Shentian Sect, known as the Holy Land of Assassins, keeps a low profile.
Yaochi Holy Land's Great Powers and high-level experts have intervened in the past.
Initially, they couldn't even approach the gates of the Shentian Sect, but later managed to find a connecting passage.
An expert of Yaochi Holy Land attacked through this, intending to destroy a part of the Shentian Sect, causing a loss to them.
However, someone from within the Shentian Sect retaliated.
In the end, the expert from Yaochi Holy Land suffered minor injuries and ceased their attack.
It's unknown if the Great Power from the Shentian Sect was also injured, but they went silent.
Then there were rumors that the Yaochi Empress from Yaochi Holy Land communicated with a senior figure from the Shentian Sect, reaching an agreement.
"Only the younger generation are allowed to fight, the older generation is not allowed to intervene!" Leng Bi Yue explained.
"Thus, the Yaochi Saintess, Xue Ni Chang, often descended the mountain.
Engaging in battles with the assassins of the Shentian Sect!
It was both to settle grievances and to hone her skills.
She was very strong!
A genius-level individual!
When she stepped into the Daoist Palace, an abnormal phenomenon also appeared.
Rumor has it the phenomenon was so terrifying that several female cultivators of Yaochi Holy Land died of fright.
It required the Yaochi Empress to suppress it to prevent further danger.
And so, besides the cultivators of Yaochi Holy Land, no one knows what the phenomenon linked to the Yaochi Saintess truly was.
Only that it was very powerful, very terrifying!"
She also shared what she knew about the Yaochi Saintess with Yang Yan.
"It now seems that the Shentian Sect is serious.
They dispatched a Shadow Assassin!
The Yaochi Saintess likely couldn't withstand them and thus fled.
To suppress the Yaochi Saintess, this Shadow Assassin was no ordinary genius.
Now it appears, as geniuses emerge, a great era is coming," Leng Bi Yue remarked solemnly.
Shadow Assassin!
Equivalent to the Saint Heirs and Saintesses of a Holy Land, a genius-level being.
Yang Yan watched the retreating figure of the Yaochi Saintess, Xue Ni Chang.
He wasn't thinking about how powerful the Yaochi Saintess was!
Instead, he thought this woman had a noble status and was very graceful.
If he could suppress her and have her serve him like Leng Bi Yue, it might be a good thing!
"If I have multiple Saintess servants attending to me, not only will my cultivation progress faster,
but obtaining treasures would also become a bit easier."
If it weren't for Leng Bi Yue's previous betrayal, Yang Yan wouldn't even consider giving up a Saintess servant.
Because Saintesses are geniuses, even compared to Wudao Tian.
Although they are not as strong now, they will undoubtedly surpass Wudao Tian hundreds of times in the future once they grow.
Consider it an investment!
Certainly!
Currently, Leng Bi Yue was undoubtedly more useful than Wudao Tian, otherwise, Yang Yan wouldn't let Wudao Tian carry the sedan chair while letting Leng Bi Yue serve him.
"Having a few more subordinates would make things a lot easier."
Moreover, he had his eyes on this Shadow Assassin from the Shentian Sect as well.
He could help in assassinating enemies and capturing treasures, making him a good henchman!
Having him as a subordinate, Yang Yan could definitely put him to good use!
Yang Yan ate another icy lychee that Leng Bi Yue had brought him, chewing simply.
The juice was plentiful!
Delicious!
"Trying to chase them now would be impossible."
Whether it was Wudao Tian or Leng Bi Yue.
Expecting them to catch the Shadow Assassin or the Yaochi Saintess wasn't realistic.
Those Saint Heirs and Saintesses were no ordinary people, they definitely had many trump cards and methods to escape.
"Next time we meet, I will personally take action," Yang Yan thought.
He leaned against the edge of the sedan chair and continued his cultivation.
Cloud City came into view quickly, with Wudao Tian carrying the sedan chair inside.
The scene made quite a spectacle.
"Earlier the Yaochi Saintess was being chased, and now there's a Great Power at the Four Extremes Secret Realm carrying the sedan chair as a servant; it seems we weaklings have no chance at this time's tomb treasures."
"Because of the Ten Suns in a Row lighting up the world, many sects have sent their Saint Heirs and Saintesses down the mountain.
This is what caused today's grand spectacle!"
"That phenomenon was truly rare both ancient and modern, the premise for the Ten Suns in a Row, and a phenomenon of a sea sun birthing in the remaining night!
Does anyone know who this genius is, they could potentially become an Emperor in the future!"
The crowd buzzed with discussions, and some even brought up the recent abnormal phenomenon.
Many people showed expressions of shock!
"What Ten Suns in a Row lighting up the world, what absolute monster!
In my eyes,
he's just a coward!"
If he has the guts, let him come out, I want to challenge him!" a boastful voice rang out.
The speaker carried a longsword and dressed in white.
"It's the Little Genius of the Yunxiao Sect, Zhang Yuanlin!"
"He dares to speak like that, is he not afraid that monster will come out and crush him!"
"They say his swordsmanship is extraordinary, the Yunxiao Thirty-Three Swords, he's about to master it. That must be why he has the confidence to look down on everyone else!"
"Yes, and his cousin is the Saint Heir of the Xuantian Sect, he can back him up!"
Zhang Yuanlin moved with noticeable arrogance as he walked down the street.
He only heard people praising that monster, but no one discussed him.
*His heart was filled with both dissatisfaction and anger!*
*"In what way am I inferior to that person!" he thought secretly. "Now people talk about me, not bad, quite good!"*
Suddenly, he noticed Wudao Tian carrying a sedan chair toward him, with a captivating silhouette atop it.
"Leng Bi Yue, the Saintess of the Fairy Sect!"
He moved and stood in front of the sedan chair.
"Lady Leng, I am Zhang Yuanlin.
I wish to invite you to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, where we can witness the spectacle of the world's geniuses battling for treasures together," he said, cupping his fists in invitation.
Leng Bi Yue!
Saintess of the Fairy Sect!
"The one inside the sedan chair is Leng Bi Yue!"
"It must be her, otherwise who could make someone of the Four Extremes Secret Realm carry the sedan chair?"
"Zhang Yuanlin seems to have always admired Leng Bi Yue, seeing her as a goddess in his heart!"
"The rumors are indeed not false, seeing Leng Bi Yue, he just dashed over to invite her!"
Instantly, a crowd gathered, looking over here.
"The Fairy Sect Saintess, rumored to be stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth!"
Many wished to catch a glimpse of that unparalleled beauty!
"Scram!"
A man's voice came from inside the sedan chair, instead of Leng Bi Yue herself.
The voice was full of authority, carrying a powerful sense of oppression.
Yet what surprised everyone was not the oppression.
Everyone was shocked that there was a man inside Leng Bi Yue's sedan chair!
The Saintess of the Fairy Sect, inside a sedan chair with a man.
"This is explosive news!"
The gentlemanly demeanor of Zhang Yuanlin, standing with his hands clasped before the sedan chair, twisted.
The goddess he revered as cold as the moon was sitting in the same sedan chair as a man.
*It was a massive blow!*
Whoosh!
Profound Qi surged from his body, forming a furious gale.
"Get out here, man inside!" Zhang Yuanlin roared with anger.
