Outside the pavilion, Xiao Chen’s four fingers followed a certain rhythm as he tapped the strand of hair.
Time passed slowly. His expression turned distinctly graver as a strange look flashed in his eyes. His face sank in the end.
Upon seeing that the Lunar Palace disciples in front had also finished dealing with the frost saber Qi, he let go of the hair in his hand, having lost interest. He did not wish to stay any longer; clearly, something was weighing on his heart.
“Damn! This fellow really took the pulse of the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter!”
“He profaned the Holy Daughter. We can’t let him get away!”
No one had expected Xiao Chen to actually take the pulse of the fairy-like character. Instantly, all of them became enraged and tried to surround Xiao Chen, who just turned to leave.
Xiao Chen’s initial anger was already gone; he just wanted to leave. The folding fan flew out of his hand and danced around him.
It was as if the bright moon, the small bridge, and the river in the folding fan appeared in reality.
There were the gentle moon and clear water. As the folding fan flew about, Xiao Chen stood on the bridge, slowly getting farther away. No one could block him for even an instant.
Inside the pavilion, there was a strand of hair around the wrist of the white-clad girl.
This girl walked to the window and looked at Xiao Chen, who was walking on the bridge and heading to the moon. Her eyes filled with a contemplative light.
The bright moon hung high in the sky. Xiao Chen’s white clothes fluttered as he walked on the bridge, stepping on moonlight.
The large road in front of the lake turned chaotic. The people who had tried to stop Xiao Chen all suffered from significant injuries.
Xiao Chen, who had left in a hurry with a heavy heart, had not controlled his strength well, even severely injuring several people.
The Lunar Palace female disciples moved through the crowd, checking on their injuries, healing them, and dealing with the chaos.
The white-clad girl in the pavilion frowned slightly. The beautiful older lady with the extraordinary aura behind her stepped forward and whispered, “Bingyun, this person is an expert. He might have hidden his cultivation.”
Yue Bingyun found the comment slightly strange. She asked, “In Aunt Bai’s eyes, he is an expert as well?”
The beautiful, noble, and graceful Aunt Bai smiled and replied, “It is only a feeling. This person is definitely a person with a story. However, it is unfortunate that he will expire in ten years. The heavens are really jealous of geniuses.”
Yue Bingyun lowered her head and took a look at the strand of black hair on her wrist. She muttered, “Perhaps he is the person we are looking for?”
“Really?” The person addressed as Aunt Bai by Yue Bingyun paled visibly.
“Is that true? We have to ask him personally. However, he did not even leave his name. I have also never heard of a person like this in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Based on his get-up, I wonder if he is Young Master Qingshu? Well, we will know after asking.”
As Yue Bingyun looked at the black strand of hair, she felt it was a pity. Then, she looked up at the window and saw a figure rushing over from the distance.
This figure moved like a soaring True Dragon, stepping on auspicious clouds. Strong winds vanished as he roared, sounding like a True Dragon’s roar echoing everywhere.
The many injured cultivators below immediately recognized this person. They all could not help but reveal shock in their eyes.
“It is the Southern Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s Young Palace Master, Hai Tian. The outstanding talents of the Southern Sea have definitely heard of the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter’s arrival in Purple Cloud City.”
The Southern Sea Divine Dragon Palace was a humongous existence in the Southern Sea. When the Sea Monarch was still around, it was even stronger than the Cyclic Astral Palace, an Immortal Holy Land.
As for the purpose of the Young Palace Lord, Hai Tian, in coming, it naturally went without saying that he was here for the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter, Yue Bingyun.
Suddenly, dazzling thunder fire flared in the west. This thunder fire tore through the sky, flying towards the pavilion as well.
“The ancient Gongsun Noble Clan’s Young Master, Gongsun Yan!”
A gust blew in from the north. A berserk aura spread together with the wind. Everyone felt a proud aura that seemed to be looking down on everything under the heavens.
“Another ancient Noble Clan. It’s the scion of the Shangguan Noble Clan, Shangguan Yun!”
Silently, a person flew over from the east. As he moved, there was no major commotion, but the sky advanced with him bit by bit, creating the oppressive feeling of the sky falling.
“The scion of the Xia Noble Clan is here as well!”
The many cultivators on the ground were in an uproar. In such a short while, nearly all the factions that could rival the Immortal Holy Lands in the Southern Sea had turned up.
These were the true outstanding talents. The four from the Purple Cloud Island were much weaker compared to them.
The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter’s repute really spread far and wide, boundlessly attractive.
Just when the crowd thought that it was coming to an end, a dazzling golden sun appeared high in the sky, overwhelming the light of the real blazing sun as it slowly descended.
Right beside this sun was a full moon. The sun and moon descended together, both radiating light in all directions.
With such obvious mysterious phenomena, everyone in the Southern Sea knew that these were the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Southern Sea’s Immortal Holy Land, the Cyclic Astral Palace, Chu Yang and Fu Hongyao.
One person was the true inheritor of the Sun Palace and the other, the true inheritor of the Moon Palace. They were the most excellent of the Southern Sea in this generation.
This was especially so of the Holy Son Chu Yang. He had been in closed-door cultivation for the past few years, and his strength was unfathomable. Rumor said that the location of his closed-door cultivation had been in the center of the blazing sun, and the Palace Master of the Cyclic Astral Palace, the Prime Martial Emperor Jin Xuanyi, had personally served as his protector.
The moment the sun and the moon appeared, they immediately stole the limelight, casting the others in the shade.
When these people approached the pavilion, they all tacitly scattered their auras and withdrew their sharpness.
This showed their respect for the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter. They did not dare to behave rudely as they landed firmly on the ground. Then, they reported their identities and quietly waited.
The first to land was the Southern Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s Hai Tian. He looked at Gongsun Yan and smiled faintly. “Brother Gongsun seems to have made another breakthrough in your Thunderflame War Body. If you have time, let exchange pointers.”
Gongsun Yan smiled calmly and replied, “It is tolerable. However, if Brother Hai Tian wants to exchange pointers, I’m willing to oblige at any time.”
The two sounded very calm. However, as they spoke, they emanated a faint atmosphere of hostility.
A gust blew, and Shangguan Yun, the scion of the ancient Shangguan Noble Clan, quietly descended. Then he beamed at Hai Tian and said, “Haha! Brother Hai Tian, I heard that the Azure Dragon King killed two quasi-Emperors of your Southern Sea Divine Dragon Palace. I wonder if that is true?”
The Xia Noble Clan scion, Xia Hanfeng, the one that brought down Heavenly Might, also just landed. When he heard that, he looked at Hai Tian with interest.
Word of the Azure Dragon King, Xiao Chen, killing two Southern Sea Divine Dragon Palace quasi-Emperors had spread far and wide, setting many places abuzz. These outstanding talents were very curious as to its veracity.
Hai Tian felt suffocated. Rage flickered across his face. Just as he was at a loss for words, he saw the Cyclic Astral Palace’s Holy Scions landing together.
He raised his eyebrows, his lips curling up in a smile. “Shangguan Yun, I think you’d better ask Chu Yang. During the Azure Dragon King’s King conferral ceremony, Xiao Chen punched Fu Hongyao in the face, nearly ruining her looks. Was there really such a thing?”
Shangguan Yun glared at Hai Tian. Only a fool would raise this matter in front of Chu Yang.
Chu Yang and Fu Hongyao landed before the pavilion, acting as if they had not heard what was just said. Then, they walked straight for its entrance.
“Friends, the Holy Daughter is currently in shock. The pavilion is messed up at the moment too. It is not convenient for her to meet with the Young Masters, aside from Miss Hongyao,” the Lunar Palace female disciples standing guard at the entrance said to everyone with apologetic expressions.
The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter knew Fu Hongyao in the first place. Naturally, she would not leave Fu Hongyao waiting outside. As the others watched, the Moon Palace’s true inheritor walked into the pavilion
The Holy Daughter is in shock? Could it be that someone dared to cause trouble in the pavilion of the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter?
The outstanding talents all looked around and saw the Lunar Palace disciples treating everyone. Their expressions turned grave. Perhaps that was so.
After Hai Tian and the others asked around, their expressions changed greatly.
“How daring! Where did this fellow come from? How could he have such an exaggerated opinion of his abilities, daring to take the pulse of the Holy Daughter?!” Hai Tian immediately exclaimed in a huff.
Shangguan Yun and the others showed unsightly expressions as well. Profaning Yue Bingyun’s name in their Southern Sea was slapping the faces of all the outstanding talents in the entire Southern Sea.
In the future, at the Four Seas Hero Gathering, the outstanding talents of the other sea regions would mock them over this matter.
“We have to find this person. Otherwise, we will all lose our faces,” the laconic Shangguan Yun, who had clashed with Hai Tian, said.
Naturally, the rest did not mind. Even though this was a bad thing, it was also a good thing.
In this age, it had been a long time since someone who could truly profane the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter had appeared, even from righteous and evil factions. How could they miss out on this chance to show off in front of the Holy Daughter?
While all of them agreed, they secretly considered how to gain the most benefits from this matter.
Only the Cyclic Astral Palace’s Chu Yang remained silent. He simply could not figure out who in the Heavenly Starry Ocean would dare to openly disrespect Yue Bingyun.
Could it be the people from the Black Sea? That’s not right. There is no such person in the Black Sea. If there was, I would know about it.
Perhaps things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

At the top floor of an inn several kilometers away, at a table by the window, some wanton and unrestrained cultivators with evil auras were looking at the distant pavilion with smiles on their faces.
“In the entire history of the Lunar Palace, including the Sea Monarch’s time, only one Holy Daughter has fallen in love. These people are such wishful thinkers.”
“Humph! Some outstanding talent. They looked radiant and mighty, but they became constrained and polite before a woman. They are not worthy of the word outstanding.”
“That white-clad elder brother is so awesome. I like him. He dared to forcibly take the Holy Daughter’s pulse. He is probably the only one since ancient times.”
“Haha! You’re right. I wonder, with Second Brother chasing after this person, will he catch up? I really want to make friends with him.”
“He definitely can. Second Brother’s Movement Technique is the best.”
To different people, the same incident appeared differently.

At this moment, Xiao Chen did not know what waves his impulsive actions caused.
However, even if he knew, given his current heavy heart, he would not mind.
Xiao Chen moved very quickly, flying away from Purple Cloud Island. After covering a long distance, he stopped at a desolate island.
He stretched out his hand and took the flying folding fan into his grasp. The bright moon, the bridge, and the river disappeared. His figure drifted and landed on the highest peak of the island.
Standing at the summit, he looked at the distant, vast sea, frowning heavily, his thoughts a mystery.
“Xiao Chen, what’s wrong?” Ao Jiao could not help asking. She had long since noticed that Xiao Chen’s expression was off.
Xiao Chen gently fanned himself and replied, “That Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter was not speaking nonsense; at least, she did not need to do so. The Longevity Art is indeed a body nourishing divine canon worthy of a large sect like that.”
