NOVPUBWhen the Dragon Abyss Prince stepped out of the Green Peak Sect, his gaze lingered on all the spectators who had gathered to watch the excitement.
He spoke indifferently, "Spread the news of the Green Peak Sect’s annihilation.
Tell Xiao Teng that I am waiting for him in the Dragon Abyss Empire to seek his revenge."
After the Dragon Abyss Prince had finished speaking, he picked up the flute he carried and played a few notes.
The dragon steed once again descended from the heavens, carrying him away from this place.
......
"Are all the talented disciples of the Central Continent this impulsive?" Xu Zimei asked, looking at the Styx with a smile.
"Not really, it’s just that Long Yang is usually very domineering," replied the Styx.
"What is this Shenghua Fengyun List they speak of?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"It’s a record of all the young generation within the Shenghua domain who are qualified to vie for Destiny," the Styx answered.
"This Dragon Abyss Prince is ranked eighth."
"Ranked eighth and already at the peak of the Esteem Vein Realm?" Xu Zimei said in surprise, "The Central Continent really does differ quite a bit from the other continents."
The two did not linger here and left the area of the Green Peak Sect, heading straight for Extinct Heaven Sect.
Two days later, Xu Zimei finally reached his destination.
Extinct Heaven City.
Extinct Heaven City was under the rule of Extinct Heaven Sect and was the core among the many cities governed by the sect.
This was because the Sect Gate of Extinct Heaven Sect was located right behind the city.
When Xu Zimei arrived in front of the city gates, it was probably the most prosperous city he had seen since arriving in the Central Continent.
The city loomed like an enormous creature, the walls stretching endlessly to both sides.
The blue-brown tiles of the walls faded into the distant horizon.
There were two black-armored guards in front of the city gate.
Apart from the natives of Extinct Heaven Sect, anyone entering the city needed to pay an entrance fee.
Xu Zimei and the Styx entered Extinct Heaven City, walking along the city’s main thoroughfare.
The sounds of prosperity mingled with the clamor of peddlers hawking their goods.
Xu Zimei had intended to go directly to the City Lord Mansion to draw out the people from Extinct Heaven Sect.
But just as the two had entered the city, the surrounding citizens suddenly let out exclamations of surprise.
"Look, it’s Young Master Luohe."
Someone in the crowd shouted, and all eyes immediately turned skyward.
A man dressed in a white robe, with handsome features, was seen walking on air as he approached.
The man was wrapped in a pure white scarf, his long hair neatly tied up in a bun.
His eyes were bright and full of spirit as he held a book in his hands.
Flying was not permitted above Extinct Heaven Sect.
Young Master Luohe stopped not far from the city gate.
A procession ran out from within the city, and special personnel came forward to receive him.
As Young Master Luohe entered Extinct Heaven City, the residents on both sides began to talk animatedly, and many young girls even started to scream.
"Interesting," Xu Zimei said with a slight smile.
In his previous life, Young Master Luohe indeed had a great reputation, and Xu Zimei had heard of him before.
"The Holy Buddha Child ranked sixth on the Shenghua Fengyun List," the Styx added from beside him.
"It seems Extinct Heaven City is getting quite lively these days."
As soon as the Styx finished speaking, the crowd erupted into another series of exclamations.
"The Cai Family sure has some pull, to think even the Ghost Demon Heir has come."
Xu Zimei looked up into the Firmament.
The sky was filled with Demonic Qi, with grotesque ghoulish faces howling and swirling in from the distance.
The source of this Demonic Qi was a youth in a black robe.
Atop the youth’s head were a pair of demonic horns, and a deep scarlet mark in the shape of an inverted triangle was on his forehead.
The aura of the Emperor Pulse Realm surged around him.
With the arrival of the youth, half of the sky was enveloped in Demonic Qi.
His Demonic Qi was not pure, as it carried a heavy mixture of Ghost Qi and evil aura.
"Amitabha," just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out.
Buddha’s light spread across the sky, tearing through the cloak of Demonic Qi and casting sacred light over half the Firmament.
A young monk in Kasaya, with unibrow and a childlike face, walked over from the horizon.
"The Holy Buddha Child has arrived as well, things are sure to get lively now."
"Indeed, everyone knows that the Holy Buddha Child and the Ghost Demon Heir are sworn enemies."
Listening to the discussions of the bystanders, the space above where Buddha’s light and Demonic Qi confronted each other,
the sound of a booming explosion echoed all around.
Above Extinct Heaven City, space itself began to show countless cracks.
"The two Talented Disciples please hold your hands, at this moment, a voice as clear and pleasant as a hundred birds suddenly arose.
"You both have come to attend our Cai Family’s tea party, and we hope you will give our Cai Family some face and exchange views peacefully," she said.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a bright red dress with delicate makeup slowly walking out.
The woman stepped into the air, her long dress around her waist blooming open like a rose in full summer.
Bright, beautiful, and slowly unfurling with temptation.
Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes alluring, and her black eyelashes gently trembling.
Her cherry lips were an enticing deep red, her teeth shining against them.
Around the hem of her dress were stitched delicate oval lace patterns.
The neckline and cuffs were specially tailored.
......
"Who is that?" Xu Zimei asked, somewhat puzzled, as he watched the woman approach.
"I don’t know either," Styx shook his head slightly.
Xu Zimei turned to ask a few bystanders.
The bystanders looked at Xu Zimei in surprise.
"You don’t know Cai Yueting?
One of the three great beauties of the Shenghua region, she is."
"I don’t usually pay much attention to matters concerning women," Xu Zimei shook his head.
"Are you even a man?" the bystander looked at Xu Zimei with surprise.
Then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly retreated a few steps to keep a distance from Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei, with a full head of black lines, said, "I didn’t mean anything by it.
I’m just inquiring about what’s been happening in Jue Tian City lately?
Why have so many of the Talented Disciples from the Shenghua Fengyun List gathered here?"
"You don’t know?" the bystander replied with surprise.
"The Cai Family is holding a tea appreciation party and has invited almost all of the young talents from the entire Shenghua region.
Of course, it’s unclear how many will come.
Calling it a tea party is really just a pretense.
The main purpose is to give all the Talented Disciples a chance to congregate and interact."
Xu Zimei nodded, then turned and asked Styx, "What’s the background of this Cai Family?"
"I’m not sure; I haven’t heard of this force before," Styx shook his head in response.
The bystander laughed and said, "The Cai Family is a first-rate force, affiliated with the Extinct Heaven Sect.
But I’ve heard that the Cai Family is somehow related to the historical Firmament Emperor."
"What kind of connection?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.
"It is said that the Firmament Emperor was once a scion of the Cai Family," the bystander replied.
"Legend has it that when the Firmament Emperor was young, his talent was extremely poor, and he was even exiled from the Cai Family.
No one expected him to carry the Destiny of that era and ascend to the position of a Great Emperor.
However, after he ascended, he never returned to the Cai Family.
He never acknowledged any ties with the Cai Family either. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
As for whether this information is true or not, I do not know."
