NOVPUBThe person approaching was the Reincarnation Elder, also the current Taoist Clan Saint Heir, Dao Tianyun.
"Saint Heir Xu, long time no see," the Reincarnation Elder said with a smile.
"Is there something you need?" Xu Zimei asked calmly.
"It’s truly a pity that you didn’t participate in this Sky Martial Conference. Miss Baili was actually hoping to encounter you," the Reincarnation Elder shook his head and said.
"Are you in such a hurry to seek death?" Xu Zimei remarked.
"It’s not certain yet," the Reincarnation Elder said, his eyes blazing.
"Have you always been this confident?"
Xu Zimei looked at the Reincarnation Elder and immediately grabbed his collar, lifting him up.
"So you wish to die?"
"If Young Master Xu wanted to kill me, you would have done so already, right?" the Reincarnation Elder said with a smile.
"What if I said I would slaughter the Taoist Clan?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"You were born there, I don’t know if you still have feelings for the people there."
"This is a matter between us, it shouldn’t involve others," the Reincarnation Elder said, his face slightly changing.
"You’re agitated," Xu Zimei smiled and let go of his collar.
"I just came to pass a message," the Reincarnation Elder steadied his emotions and then said.
"After the Sky Martial Conference, Miss Baili wishes to challenge you to a duel. Would you dare to accept?"
"To fight a duel, regardless of life or death?" Xu Zimei asked.
"No, just a simple exchange," the Reincarnation Elder replied.
"Then it’s meaningless," Xu Zimei waved his hand.
He ignored the Reincarnation Elder and walked directly towards Hundreds Miles City.
Currently, Hundreds Miles City was bustling with excitement; people were engrossed in the competitions and discussing them with each other.
These people represented the future of the Eastern Continent.
On a smaller scale, this was a person’s struggle to become the Great Emperor.
On a larger scale, this was a struggle for Destiny among the Eastern Continent and other continents.
Why is the Central Continent strong? Not just because of its vast expanse, but because of the many Imperial Rule Immortal Sects.
These Imperial Rule Immortal Sects are genuinely influencing the overall strength of their respective territories.
With more Imperial Rule Immortal Sects, ordinary people have more options for joining a power, thus having more opportunities.
Hence, each continent is secretly competing in this way.
Xu Zimei didn’t walk far when Da Zhi, the monk, also followed him out.
"Aren’t you going to watch more?" Xu Zimei smiled and asked.
"They can’t compare to you," Da Zhi shook his head.
"There’s no need to watch then."
"There are still some impressive ones," Xu Zimei observed.
"Besides, the struggle for Destiny is unpredictable, and no one can confidently claim it."
"I believe in you, and I also trust our old ancestor’s divination," Da Zhi said.
The two strolled around the outskirts of Hundreds Miles City, which was currently enveloped by a heavy rain.
Spiritual Energy had not yet fully descended, so Xu Zimei wasn’t in a rush to make arrangements; he waited until everything had settled before dealing with the ruins.
In Hundreds Miles City, the betting shops had the most people.
Some were betting on the success of the top eight; others were regretfully leaving the competition.
The entire city was in a state of extreme liveliness and festivity.
After taking a round, Xu Zimei and Da Zhi were about to return to the Baili Residence.
Suddenly, two figures blocked their path.
"Sirs, our Palace Master wishes to see you."
These two men were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and looked very ordinary, now smiling as they spoke to Xu Zimei and his companion.
Xu Zimei was puzzled, glanced at Da Zhi, then smiled and said, "Then let’s go take a look."
He didn’t know the purpose of these suddenly appearing men, so he was curious to find out.
The two men led Xu Zimei and his companion forward into a small alley.
"Please enter," On one side of the alley was a large courtyard, and the two stopped at the courtyard gate.
"Quite mysterious," Da Zhi remarked.
"Could she be an old acquaintance of yours?"
"I have few friends, almost no old acquaintances," Xu Zimei shook his head in reply.
The two opened the large doors of the courtyard, directly facing the living room inside.
Two students in blue robes were guarding the entrance to the living room.
The backs of these students’ blue robes were printed with the character "extreme," which made Xu Zimei think of a force.
To be exact, he had encountered them before.
"Sirs, our Palace Master requests your presence."
Xu Zimei and his companion walked inside the living room, where they saw a regally dressed, luxurious woman in a blue robe with her back to them.
Her blue robe shone like stars, extremely dazzling.
The collar of the blue robe was high, like a blooming flower, covering her neck.
Her black hair was coiled into a bun, secured with a jade hairpin on top of her head.
"May I ask why you have summoned us?" Da Zhi asked first.
"Let me introduce myself," the woman slowly turned around, revealing a face that didn’t match her attire.
From behind, her attire suggested she was an older woman.
However, upon turning around, it became clear that she was a young girl. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
She looked about Xu Zimei’s age, with a somewhat immature face, an oval face, heavy makeup, and red lips that were very enticing.
"Let me introduce myself, Young Palace Master of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace, Gong Yuner," the woman said with a smile.
Extraterritorial Extreme Palace, Xu Zimei heard this name once again.
Previously, when he encountered members of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace in the Old Land together with the Divine Emperor, they had wanted to invade but were ultimately slain by Xu Zimei and others.
Moreover, he was very familiar with the name of this force from his previous life.
They were even more fearsome than many Imperial Rule Immortal Sects.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Haven’t heard of it?" Gong Yuner asked with a smile.
"What does the Young Palace Master want with us?" Da Zhi inquired.
He was indeed unaware of this force but knew well enough that their arrival did not bode well.
"I’d like to ask for your help," Gong Yuner said.
"We aren’t related, and it doesn’t seem right to directly ask for help," Xu Zimei smiled.
"I’m not asking you to help without cause; in helping me, you could save your lives," Gong Yuner smiled.
"We aren’t in any danger; why would we need saving?" Da Zhi asked, his gaze sharpening as he chuckled lightly.
"I won’t beat around the bush; this Hundreds Miles City has been surrounded by our Extraterritorial Extreme Palace," Gong Yuner announced.
"When the time comes, the lives of everyone here will be up to me to decide.
You understand what I mean, as I hold sway over your lives."
"Are you not fully awake?" Da Zhi shook his head, chuckling in disbelief.
"Do you know what kind of people reside in this city?
I haven’t even heard of the Extraterritorial Extreme Palace, an unknown power claiming such audacity.
Are you planning to confront the entire Eastern Continent?"
"You are mistaken; it’s not a matter of us not daring but rather that we have come specifically for these people," Gong Yuner retorted with a smile.
"We certainly take the entire Eastern Continent seriously, but don’t forget.
The only real power here from the Imperial Rule Immortal Gate is the Bai Family."
