"They are all remarkable geniuses!" I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

I couldn't forget today's battle in my heart, and now I am even more interested in the fight against the Princess of the Holy God's Kingdom.

If there is a chance for a decisive battle one day, I will definitely compete fiercely with Yuanhui and the Princess of the Holy God's Kingdom.

I watched Yuanhui go further away, but I didn't dare to catch up with him.

Because if I catch up now, what should I say?

So...I'll just follow behind and see what happens!

"Be careful!" Long Ling suddenly reminded me, "That boy has a strange feeling about him. Although it's my first time feeling this kind of aura, it's particularly familiar!"

"Oh? Is he a distant relative?" I joked, but in fact, I already knew that Long Ling's distant relatives would never appear in a place like this.

"Ah...maybe he really is a distant relative!" Long Ling shook his head and his expression became serious.

"Is it that terrifying?" I was immediately scared and shivered, "If he's your master's distant relative, he must be a formidable opponent, right?"

"Hmph, judging from the aura, he is not only a member of my clan, but may also be one of the legitimate rulers of the Dragon clan!" Long Ling's words were clear. The other party must also be one of the Dragon clan's rulers, just from a different era.

"In that case, let's forget about it. I don't want to provoke such a person!" I immediately gave up the idea of contacting Yuanhui.

"No!" Just when I had decided not to pursue Yuanhui, Long Ling interrupted me, "Don't be so disheartened. I only said that you would be discovered if you go alone. But I didn't say that you wouldn't be able to get in, right?"

"I see...so you have a way?" I glanced at Long Ling, giving my consent with my eyes.

...

"Wu!"

This seven-foot-tall man shed tears. "Disciple, are you okay? Don't scare your master!"

As he spoke, Wuxian was about to fetch some pills, but at this moment, Moon Dragon muttered to himself, "Tong'er...I...I will forever...protect..."

Wuxian, who was about to find a physician, heard that Yuanhui was doing it for Tong'er. His tears couldn't bear the impact and gushed out, covering his face with traces of tears.

Wuxian looked at the fainted Yuanhui on the bed, as if he understood something.

As he looked at Yuanhui's closed eyes, an urgent voice came from a dream, "Yuanhui, are you okay...Yuanhui?!"

The imperial palace in Wuhuang City was magnificent, like a deep treasure trove hiding incomprehensible natural treasures.

In this vast imperial city, there were countless layers of buildings everywhere. For outsiders, they probably wouldn't even know the location of the inner court of the palace.

Even if someone from the inner court managed to enter, the inner court itself consisted of tens of thousands of golden-roofed buildings.

Thus, finding the true palace was not an easy task!!

The princess's and the princes' chambers were also hidden in the emerald forests, separated by red stone walls, forming a labyrinth that would make it impossible for intruders to escape.

And unknown to the people, beneath the massive palace lies a cold underground cave.

Inside the cave, flickering red runes hung in the air, surrounded by eternally unmelted ice. The ice was sculpted to resemble a red phoenix due to the reflection of the fire.

Achoo!

Wu Tong'er sneezed and respectfully said to the woman in the white robe and golden mask who was meditating, "Master, it seems someone is cursing behind my back!"

"Oh?"

The woman, referred to as Master by Wu Tong'er, suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, "Is it? Perhaps it's some lovesick man thinking of you."

Master started teasing her disciple again.

"How is that possible? You see, there is a Yuan..."

Before Tong'er could finish her sentence, the masked woman pressed a finger to her lips, "Don't let your distraction hinder your cultivation, my dear!"

"Yes, Master!"

Wu Tong'er obediently responded.

Back at the inn in Evergreen City, Yuanhui had just awakened from sleep when the restless Wu Xian began "bothering" him.

Wu Xian deliberately paused and said, "You brat, don't be lazy. Keep practicing the Dragon's Roar Qi another two thousand times for me!"

"Huh?"

Yuanhui, who had just regained consciousness, hadn't had time to react before Wu Xian urged him to continue training.

Yuanhui had no choice but to pick up the Falling Star Sword again and slowly swing the giant sword with his true qi, trying to maintain balance while hovering.

"Hey, brat, let this old man lend you a hand!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Xian smirked cunningly and lightly waved his finger, causing a powerful spatial force to envelop Yuanhui.

"You old geezer, you're going too...too far!"

Yuanhui felt like his spine was about to crack.

"Young people should respect their elders. Remember, you have a reconstructed dragon bone now, so you need to increase your spiritual energy reserves!"

Wu Xian remained strict with no room for relaxation.

"Oh, by the way, tomorrow morning, we will go find the White Herb Antelope, a rare creature that has consumed a hundred types of medicinal herbs to grow. It can only be found in the northern part of the Snow Spirit Mountains."

Yuanhui stared at Wu Xian with a resentful gaze, but he continued swinging the Falling Star Sword in his hand.

As he swung repeatedly, the Falling Star Sword gradually emitted sword energy.

With each swing, the sword energy became stronger until, at his exhausted final strike, a sword light flashed, cleanly severing several hundred-year-old trees next to Wu Xian.

"Did you see that, Master? I've succeeded!"

Yuanhui enthusiastically dropped the Falling Star Sword and collapsed to the ground. He seemed quite satisfied with his achievement.

However, when he saw Wu Xian panting and watching him from the side, his thoughts changed.

"Hey, hey, hey, get up, disciple. You have depleted your spiritual energy excessively. Let me help you loosen your muscles and bones, or else you'll be useless tomorrow morning!"

Yuanhui quickly got up from the ground and asked, "Is it that serious?"

Wu Xian wasn't joking this time. He spread out his hands and said, "Of course. You just used up your spiritual energy, and if you collapse now, all the meridians in your body will become blocked when you wake up tomorrow."

"Master!?"

The dim light gradually faded, and Wu Xian sank back into his bracelet.

Yuanhui couldn't understand why Wu Xian suddenly disappeared.

"Don't worry, I, as your master, won't be so easily gone, but my spiritual power consumption is too great to sustain a visible form for now."

Visible form? Could it be that his teacher had been taking breaks during this time because manifesting in physical form consumes spiritual power?

"Uh, it seems I'm approaching the critical point. Never mind about me, now..."

"Don't say it anymore, it's all my fault." Seeing that he blamed himself for his own injury, a thought arose in his heart, "We are all fighting for our allies, it should be considered as my personal...cough! Personal actions."

At this moment, the two people who had been waiting outside the window for a long time were already impatient.

"Brother Yuanhui, I've been waiting for you for so long outside!" Just as he walked out of the inn, I appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

We could say that it was a long-awaited meeting. If he had been helping along the way, I would have been much safer. Of course... unless this guy had caused any trouble on the road, like... romantic debts!

Ah-choo!

Wu Tong'er unexpectedly sneezed, causing the masked woman to worry even more.

"Tong'er, I can see that you're not in the right state today. You should rest a little earlier!"

"Well, maybe I caught a cold while bathing in the hot spring last night. As you know, it's very cold on the Snow Mountain, and it's difficult for us people from the Imperial City to endure over here."

"Since that's the case, let's rest earlier today. After all, we've been out for a long time, and we're all a bit exhausted."

"Yeah, this time, the elites among elites from my Divine Nation have come! If they continue to be exhausted like this, they'll be weak and helpless during tomorrow's competition, and that would be quite embarrassing for us!"

"Especially the descendants from the Western Regions! Tong'er, you have to be careful. The Han Family in the Western Regions is not an easy force to deal with. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them."

"Don't worry, my Wu Family still has Brother Yuanhui here. It's okay, it seems like the Fengling Pavilion won't be able to make it this time... hehe, but honestly, I really want to compete with that young Pavilion Master."

"I've heard about it too, that young Pavilion Master's talent seems to be no less than yours, Tong'er. It seems that we really need to be vigilant of her."

"I'm well aware of this. Even if I have the intention to compete with her this time, there may not be a chance!"

"Why?"

"Master, I've already heard the news from Qingshui Mountain. They only sent two disciples this time, and one of them is that young Pavilion Master! However... the other disciple is not Jiuxin, but a Reverse Flow level! Hahaha, it seems like the Fengling Pavilion has no one left to use."

"Well, that is indeed strange. Master heard that the Fengling Pavilion in Qingshui Mountain has millions of disciples, but..."

"But what? Master, you're really being overly cautious! The Fengling Pavilion has long since declined. Now they only have a few dozen people hiding in Qingshui Mountain. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they're at their wit's end."

"Sigh, my dear! It's always better to be cautious. The Ling Yi Zi from the Fengling Pavilion is already a headache for even the Demon Emperor. It's still better not to be too careless."

"You're right, Master. That old Ling probably intentionally showed weakness to make us lower our guard, right?"

"You finally understand a little."

"But Master... I feel that you are completely overly cautious. That Ling Yi Zi has always been a gentleman, and his character is noble and upright. Maybe he just doesn't want to compete with us?"

Wu Tong'er still didn't believe that Ling Yi Zi's disciples had any special abilities. After all, in her opinion, the future of the Fengling Pavilion was in the hands of only one young Pavilion Master, Ling Yukari, and the rest were just a group of mediocre people!
