Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, The Deputy Sect Master arrives

Forge a bond with a Heavenly Moon Order?

All the elders in the hall fell silent, their expressions extremely peculiar.

The Saintess’s behavior today is truly baffling. Does that white-robed man possess so much charm? Enough to make the Saintess so utterly smitten that she’d personally offer a Heavenly Moon Order?

However, the Saintess was the Saintess, the second-in-command of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. As her subordinates, they didn’t feel they could say much.

Just two or three breaths after the Saintess disappeared, a figure suddenly arrived, tearing through the sky.

This was a tall elder in a black robe, with a hooked nose, narrow eyes, a long beard, and a stern face. His Super Divine Dragon Breath was potent, and he radiated the distinctive Super Divine Dragon Breath of a cultivator at the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm.

”Greetings, Vice Sect Leader Liu.”

Upon seeing the newcomer, the several elders promptly stood up and bowed respectfully.

This tall elder was Liu Feng, the Deputy Sect Master of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird.

”What in the world happened on Wu Kun Mountain? Why was flight suddenly restricted? Who descended upon this place?” Liu Feng looked around, and finding the Saintess absent, he raised an eyebrow slightly before questioning the group.

”Vice Sect Leader Liu, we don’t know which powerhouse from the Eternal Realm descended upon Wu Kun Mountain and imposed a flight restriction. The Saintess has already given instructions on this matter, telling us not to interfere...” one elder summoned his courage and said loudly.

”This Saintess...” Liu Feng snorted coldly and said no more, though his eyes held a hint of ridicule. He and this Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird had never seen eye to eye. One of his disciples had once made a mistake and was expelled from the Sect by the Saintess, a matter that had always been a thorn in his side.

”The Saintess isn’t here presiding. Where has she gone?” Liu Feng scanned the room and asked casually.

”Reporting, Vice Sect Leader Liu, the Saintess has stepped out on some matter,” a red-faced elder said with a smile, a somewhat strange expression on his face.

”What exactly is the matter?” Liu Feng, seeing the elder seemed to be implying something, raised an eyebrow and asked coldly.

”Reporting, Vice Sect Leader Liu, it seems the Saintess is lovesick. She has taken a fancy to a young man in white at the Half-Step Life-Death Realm and has gone to give him a Heavenly Moon Order,” the red-faced elder explained with a smile.

”How absurd! The dignified Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird is forbidden from marrying or taking a Dao companion for life. Has she forgotten this rule?” Liu Feng flicked his wide sleeves and snapped angrily.

The red-faced elder before him was very close to him and was also a pawn he had placed in the Wu Kun Mountain Black Market. Much information about Wu Kun Mountain was conveyed through him.

The other seven elders, hearing the red-faced elder speak this way, didn’t offer any particular rebuttal. After all, they also somewhat disapproved of the Saintess’s actions.

”Vice Sect Leader Liu, today the Store Manager of an auction house was killed,” the red-faced elder said, deliberately affecting a tone of deep distress.

”What? The Store Manager of the auction house was killed? Who could be so audacious as to do such a thing in my Wu Kun Mountain?!” Liu Feng was suddenly enraged.

”It’s that white-robed youth the Saintess favors! That fellow, relying on his Half-Step Life-Death Realm cultivation base, acts wantonly in Wu Kun Mountain, committing all sorts of misdeeds! There’s no one left to control him!” the red-faced elder sighed and continued.

”This Saintess is getting more and more out of hand! Such a major incident has occurred, and she still wants to suppress it? It’s fortunate that I, the Sect Master, have come. Otherwise, who knows when this matter would have come to light!” Liu Feng said, his voice chillingly cold.

”Vice Sect Leader Liu, you are also a great cultivator at the Half-Step Life-Death Realm. We can only rely on you to help us take revenge,” the red-faced elder said, a look of sorrow on his face.

”Indeed! We can only rely on Vice Sect Leader Liu to avenge this,” the other elders echoed.

”Revenge is a trivial matter. All of you, come with me.” Liu Feng turned and strode out.

The other elders followed closely behind him, elated expressions appearing on their faces one by one. Deputy Sect Master Liu also possessed a Half-Step Life-Death Realm cultivation base. The Profound Bird Bloodline within him was extremely potent, making his combat prowess exceptionally terrifying. With the assistance of these cultivators, who were around the Seventh Level of Destiny Realm, defeating the white-robed youth should not pose a significant problem.

「As for the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird.」

A fragrant breeze trailed her as she quickly made her way to the street and found Ye Yun.

”Greetings, Sir.” This beautiful young woman in black spoke with a smile, her limpid, peach-blossom eyes fixed on Ye Yun, radiating an indescribable joy.

”You’re here again?” Ye Yun smiled faintly, his gaze drifting elsewhere.

This girl really is boy-crazy, isn’t she? Does she freeze up whenever she sees a handsome man? Too bad for her; a hundred thousand years of check-ins have long tempered my Dao Heart to be as solid as a rock.

”The Saintess is here again...” Big Black Cat, face alight with excitement, nudged Little Cat’s ear from behind.

Little Cat quickly shook her head with a smile and dodged aside.

The Master truly has endless charisma! This Saintess is renowned throughout the entire Heavenly Moon Dynasty. For so many years, they say the line of men who admire her could stretch for miles, yet not one has ever managed to get within ten feet of her.

”Sir, that auction hall from before is also a property of our Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. However, that Store Manager was too unscrupulous, which led to him offending you. I have come to apologize and, at the same time, offer a Heavenly Moon Order from our Sect as a token of our sincerity.” The Saintess smiled faintly, presenting a Heavenly Moon Order with her fair, jade-like hands.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

I hadn’t expected this Saintess to personally come and deliver a Heavenly Moon Order. This is actually a good thing. It saves me the trouble of having to buy one elsewhere.

Ye Yun accepted the Heavenly Moon Order and inspected it briefly, confirming it was genuine and had no issues.

”I appreciate the sentiment.” Ye Yun nodded slightly, put away the Heavenly Moon Order, and continued strolling with his hands clasped behind his back.

The Saintess kept pace beside him, moving gracefully, and asked softly, her face blushing, ”Sir, is there anything else you wish to purchase?”

”Nothing special, I’m just browsing.” Ye Yun smiled faintly and didn’t send the Black-clothed Saintess away.

This young lady is rather simple-minded; it’s best not to rub salt in her wounds.

SWISH! SWISH! The sound of rushing air echoed.

Just then, several figures rapidly approached from the distance, skimming low over the ground.

Ye Yun halted and looked up. These people all wore black clothing decorated with the unmistakable emblem of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird; they were clearly members. The tall elder at the forefront had a profound cultivation base, having reached the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm, effectively a Half-Step Life-Death Realm expert.

Why is Vice Sect Leader Liu here? Noticing Ye Yun had suddenly halted to look ahead, the Saintess also looked up in that direction. The sight caused a flicker of surprise to appear on her stunningly beautiful face. This Deputy Sect Master Liu had always been at odds with her. Although her status within the Sect was higher than Deputy Sect Master Liu’s, in reality, his influence was also extremely formidable, comparable to her own.

Liu Feng swiftly approached, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked coldly at the white-robed youth. The white-robed youth indeed looked like an immortal stepped out of a painting, with an otherworldly temperament and incomparably handsome features.

”So, you’re the pretty boy! No wonder the Saintess is so smitten with you. Turns out you just have a handsome face,” Liu Feng sneered, his face full of ridicule.

”Liu Feng, stop your nonsense!” Hearing these words, the Saintess’s small, previously rosy face instantly turned ice-cold.
