Under the guidance of the slender young man, the five left this temple and headed towards the front courtyard of the Profound Celestial Temple.

Before long, they saw a dense crowd gathered ahead, three layers inside and three outside.

In the center of the crowd was an octagonal pavilion, where two people were vaguely seen sitting opposite each other.

However, the crowd was too large to see clearly.

"Let's go over there."

The slender young man pointed to the Profound Celestial Tower not far away.

At this moment, the Profound Celestial Tower was already closed. Without the permission of the Observatory Master, even the disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple could not enter on their own.

But Chen Tang and the others didn't care about this. Taking advantage of the crowd's attention being elsewhere, they each used their body techniques to reach the second floor of the Profound Celestial Tower.

From this height, they could see over the crowd and clearly observe the situation in the octagonal pavilion.

Facing them was Meng Qi, the Observatory Master of the Profound Celestial Temple, wearing a plain Taoist robe. She was a woman in her thirties, with jet-black hair, sculpted features, and a gentle demeanor, holding a duster in her arm - a truly stunning beauty.

If not for knowing her identity as the Ghost Mother, Chen Tang and the others would never associate her with such an entity if they encountered the Observatory Master!

And sitting opposite her was the Jade Flute Fairy.

From the angle of Chen Tang and the others, only a side profile was visible.

Originally, Chen Tang thought that having cultivated to the Human Ranking's top, the Fourth Grade realm, the Jade Flute Fairy should be around thirty years old.

Unexpectedly, the Jade Flute Fairy was so young.

In her prime, perhaps not even twenty years old.

The night breeze brushed past, making her hair flutter.

The Jade Flute Fairy, sensing something, stood up. Her light cyan gown swayed with the wind, her figure graceful, with a jade flute tied at her waist and an elegantly shaped ancient long sword on her back.

At this moment, the moonlight cast on her body, capturing the essence of heaven and earth, exuding a mystical beauty that was truly captivating!

Even though Meng Qi was already a rare beauty, in front of the Jade Flute Fairy, she seemed to lose all brilliance.

Just a side profile appeared to steal all of Meng Qi's radiance.

Chen Tang and his companions were simultaneously struck by a sense of astonishment.

Such a person seemed not to belong to the mortal world and indeed deserved the name 'Fairy'!

The slender young man suddenly emitted a strange sound from his mouth.

The Jade Flute Fairy glanced slightly in the direction of the Profound Celestial Tower.

With just a fleeting glance, Chen Tang and the others were frozen in place.

Even Dugu Qingcheng, being a woman, was left stunned, momentarily forgetting the purpose of this journey.

Chen Tang couldn't help but compare Qingmu to the Jade Flute Fairy in his mind.

Admittedly, both were naturally beautiful, with celestial appearances needing no makeup.

But the Jade Flute Fairy carried an air of mysterious elegance, appearing both illusory and real, transcending the mundane, leisurely and elegant, inspiring awe and making one feel inferior at a glance.

No wonder the disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple flocked over, all wishing to behold her beauty.

Chen Tang suddenly sighed and said, "To become her opponent would truly be a painful matter."

Yuwen Heigou and Changsun Ming nodded in deep agreement.

It was like being faced with an exquisitely crafted treasure, perfect and flawless, marveling at the wonder of its creation, truly reluctant to damage it.

The slender young man took a few wads of paper from his pocket and handed them to Chen Tang and the others.

"Oh?"

Yuwen Heigou and the others were still somewhat dazed, not understanding.

Chen Tang was the first to react, realizing what might happen, and took the paper wad, stuffing it in his ears.

The slender young man's eyes flashed with appreciation.

The others followed suit, stuffing the paper wads into their ears.

At this moment, the Observatory Master Meng Qi stood up, flicked the duster, and her expression suddenly turned sharp, as if saying something.

The Jade Flute Fairy gently shook her head, removed the jade flute with her left hand, and tapped behind her with her right.

"Clang!"

The treasure sword was unsheathed!

The long sword bathed in soft moonlight, its blade like a pool of water, rippling!

At the same time, Meng Qi scowled and, instead of retreating to distance herself from the Jade Flute Fairy, swung the duster in her hand, sweeping towards the long sword in the Jade Flute Fairy's hand!

This Observatory Master seemed more than just a Foundation Establishment Realm warlock!

The numerous disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple, though drawn by the Jade Flute Fairy's appearance, had to act upon seeing the battle and surrounded the Jade Flute Fairy.

The Jade Flute Fairy held the sword in one hand, tangled with Meng Qi's duster, and with her left hand, her jade fingers pressed several holes on the jade flute, moving through the air.

The night breeze passed, and a strange sound emanated from the jade flute.

The Jade Flute Fairy seemed to be using the jade flute to coordinate with the surrounding wind, using her inner qi to perform a tune.

Though there were many disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple, upon hearing this flute sound, their body techniques and movements immediately slowed down.

Many had strange expressions, frowning deeply.

The flute sound was continuous, piercing their ears, and some were sweating profusely, showing painful expressions!

Even the Fifth Grade Inner Core Realm masters dared not act rashly.

The inner qi under this flute sound was restless, and if they tried to activate their inner qi, it would run amok in the meridians, leading to deviation!

Martial artists below the Fifth Grade, though lacking inner qi, could still hear the sound of their heart beating.

The faster they moved, the harder their hearts beat, creating a sensation as if their hearts would burst out of their chests!

Many disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple were shocked and dared not advance further.

The closer they were, the more they were affected by the flute sound.

Staying farther away eased the situation considerably.

This way, though numerous, the disciples of the Profound Celestial Temple all stayed on the perimeter, not daring to advance.

Thus, forming a one-on-one duel between Meng Qi and the Jade Flute Fairy!

Chen Tang couldn't help but silently praise her skills.

Such a cultivation technique was indeed miraculous.

No wonder the Jade Flute Fairy dared to come alone to meet the Observatory Master.

At this moment, the slender young man leaped down from the Profound Celestial Tower and rushed towards the battlefield.

His body technique was extremely agile, as if stepping on starlight, and in a flash, he passed over the heads of many Profound Celestial Temple disciples, holding twin daggers, attacking Meng Qi's back!

"Hmph!"

Meng Qi sneered, saying, "You even brought backup, is he your man?"

The Jade Flute Fairy remained calm, her eyes like water, with no waves. She was unaffected by Meng Qi's psychological attack, and her swordsmanship became even more fierce, paired with her graceful and spirited body technique, agile as a startled swan.

"Why must you oppose me?"

Meng Qi flicked the slender young man's dagger away, forcing him back, and simultaneously swung her duster, locking the Jade Flute Fairy's sword, solemnly saying, "That 'Purple River Evil Technique' was found by me from elsewhere, why should the Sect Leader take it away and destroy it!"

"Such a cultivation technique should not exist in the world."

The Jade Flute Fairy said indifferently, "Senior Sister Meng, who in this world does not age, this is the cycle of the heavenly way, why cling to it? Over the years, you've caused so many deaths, even if you maintain eternal youth, what meaning does it serve?"

"You're still young, of course, you don't have to worry."

Meng Qi said coldly, "But when you're past forty, fifty, watching yourself age and decline, how can you ignore the ruthless passage of time?"

The Jade Flute Fairy said calmly, "Different paths, no need for more words, show your skills."
