Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

When Wen Qingye returned to Feiyun Dock, Zhang Wen, Qiu Xuan, and the others were waiting for him at the entrance.

”Young man, are you all right?” Zhang Wen asked, a look of surprise in his eyes when he saw Wen Qingye was unharmed.

Wen Qingye looked at Zhang Wen, his voice devoid of emotion. ”It seems you were hoping something would happen to me.”

Zhang Wen’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head. ”Of course not! Why would you think that, young man? You fought for Feiyun Dock. Of course we were worried.”

Wen Qingye nodded, then said, ”I’m tired. I’m going to go rest first. You all should be careful. I’m sure she’ll be back.”

With that, he walked directly toward the guest rooms of Feiyun Dock.

Zhang Wen watched Wen Qingye leave, his brow tightly furrowed. After a long moment, he said, ”We can’t let our guard down yet. I’m going to go check on the Great Elder.”

Then, Zhang Wen headed for the Great Elder’s residence.

Wen Qingye returned to his room, his eyes growing cold. ’There’s definitely something strange about Zhang Wen. The map is most likely on him.’

”So what are you going to do?” the Ice Python asked.

Wen Qingye lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, ”I’ll go find him tonight. I want to see just what this map is that has so many people coveting it.”

”What about tomorrow...?”

Wen Qingye said slowly, ”Those people will definitely be back tomorrow. I’ll see how things play out. If I take the map and try to leave, I’ll likely be hunted down. Besides, if Feiyun Dock is destroyed, my mission will fail, and I’ll lose the Sect Contribution Points.”

”Alright then, let’s wait and see,” the Ice Python said quickly, hearing that the Sect Contribution Points were at risk.

Seeing this, Wen Qingye couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. He then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.

He continuously circulated the Longevity Technique. One cycle, two cycles... all the way to thirty-six cycles.

The night was as black as ink, dotted with countless stars, and the moonlight spilled down for a thousand miles.

A dark figure landed lightly on Zhang Wen’s roof. She wore a bewitching red dress, and her crimson lips held a soul-stirring allure.

All the beauty in the world was nothing compared to her face. Without a speck of powder or paint, she was captivating enough to overturn the world.

Suddenly, her eyes shifted to a spot not far away. Her slender brows furrowed slightly, and it seemed as if even the moon trembled at the sight.

Wen Qingye’s steps were like lightning as his body leaped continuously, weaving through the night like a gust of wind. But in the next moment, he sensed danger.

The Ice Python hissed in a low voice, ”There’s someone ahead.”

”The person ahead is the Life and Death Realm expert I saw the other day. It seems we won’t have to wait for tomorrow; tonight’s the night. Be careful,” Wen Qingye said slowly, his Heart Spirit sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Ice Python nodded its head and said fearlessly, ”Don’t worry. Her aura is slightly weaker than Lim Tian’s. I’m confident I can handle her.”

As he slowly drew closer, Wen Qingye finally got a clear look at the person.

Beneath the moonlight was a peerless face. With her enchanting grace, every single movement tugged at the soul. This was the very definition of a legendary femme fatale.

”Come on out.”

Her clear voice echoed softly under the moonlight, all the more soul-stirring.

The woman in red watched Wen Qingye slowly emerge and couldn’t help but smile. That smile was truly world-toppling, a display of peerless beauty that seemed to make even the moon pale in comparison.

”You must be the masked expert Wan’Er mentioned. Though you’re only at the Destruction Realm, your aura is stable, and you certainly know how to conceal it. Even I found it difficult to perceive you.”

Wen Qingye looked at the peerless beauty before him, and his heart skipped a beat. ’To reach the Life and Death Realm at such a young Bone Age... she’s no ordinary person.’ At this thought, his eyes twitched, and they seemed to turn purple.

SHING!

A purple light flickered. Guu Hongxiu felt as if the person before her could see right through her, as if she had been stripped naked for all to see. It was like her deepest secrets were being laid bare.

When had she ever felt this way before? Although she knew it was likely just an illusion, she still felt a mix of shame and anger. But in the next instant, a chill ran through her heart.

’Who in the world is this person?’

”Who are you?” Guu Hongxiu stared into Wen Qingye’s eyes, her own brows knitting together. ”Which faction do you belong to?”

Wen Qingye said with a deadpan expression, ”You cultivate the Taiyi Heartless Dao. You’re from the Taiyi Pavilion, aren’t you?”

Although she had concealed it extremely well, Wen Qingye saw through her background in a single glance.

Life and Death Realm First Layer Heaven, cultivating the Taiyi Heartless Dao.

A murderous glint appeared in Guu Hongxiu’s eyes, and the surrounding air instantly grew cold. She said slowly, ”You know something you shouldn’t. You’re going to die, do you understand?”

Just then, a faint rustling sound came from a distance.

Both of them tensed, knowing it was Zhang Wen. They immediately leaped away, but coincidentally, they both chose the exact same hiding spot.

”Tell me who you are.”

”What’s the use of that map?”

After landing, they both spoke at almost the exact same time.

Guu Hongxiu’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. ”You first,” she said coldly.

”You’ll know the moment you die,” Wen Qingye replied, his eyes equally cold, his tone laced with killing intent.

Guu Hongxiu was taken aback. No one had ever treated her this way—so cold, so unflattering, even wanting to kill her. She recalled the previous scene and subconsciously asked, ”Do you have a grudge against the Taiyi Pavilion? Or are you dissatisfied with me for some reason?”

”You? Who are you?” Wen Qingye asked with an indifferent smile.

Guu Hongxiu was about to speak, but the sounds from the distance grew louder. They both knew Zhang Wen had entered his room.

”After I get the map, I’ll come settle the score with you. I won’t let a single person with a grudge against the Taiyi Pavilion go. I hope you don’t end up dying by my hand later.”

Guu Hongxiu shot a glance at Wen Qingye, then with a graceful shift, she moved silently toward Zhang Wen’s room up ahead.

Wen Qingye watched the red figure disappear before his eyes, his brow furrowing slightly as a name gradually surfaced in his mind.

’Someone from the Taiyi Pavilion, dressed in red, so beautiful, and with a young Bone Age... Could she be the Taiyi Pavilion’s Guu Hongxiu?’ A cold smile touched the corner of Wen Qingye’s mouth.

Guu Hongxiu, one of the Taiyi Pavilion’s Seven Venerables and the granddaughter of the Law Enforcement Hall’s Elder, Guu Changxiong. Not only was her talent astounding and her cultivation exceptionally high—ranking sixth on the Cyan Cloud List—but her beauty was also considered unparalleled in the entire Eastern Profound Domain, earning her the title of one of its three great beauties.

Having grown up in an environment like the Taiyi Pavilion, she was undoubtedly fiercely loyal. Given her aptitude, she was certain to become a stumbling block for Wen Qingye in the future.

Furthermore, rumor had it that she was one of the strongest candidates to become the next Pavilion Master of the Taiyi Pavilion. However, Wen Qingye knew she would be no match for Huangfu Tian. In that case, she was destined to become one of the Taiyi Pavilion’s sharpest weapons.

At this thought, a chilling killing intent surfaced in Wen Qingye’s eyes.

’An enemy is an enemy. It makes no difference if they are a man or a woman.’
