In the Sacred Ground of Jade Lake, within the Path Palace Realm, she was second only to one person, and above all!

Yang Yan looked at the black figure chasing after the Jade Lake Holy Maiden.

“He dares to chase after the Sacred Ground of Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden. He must be extraordinary.” Yang Yan said.

Leng Biyue nodded.

“Yes, master. The person chasing after the Jade Lake Holy Maiden is the shadow assassin of the Divine Heaven Sect.”

“Three years ago!”

“The Jade Lake Holy Maiden had killed an assassin of the Divine Heaven Sect and was thus targeted by the Divine Heaven Sect.”

“As long as she leaves the Sacred Ground of Jade Lake, the assassins of the Divine Heaven Sect will come after her. ” She explained.

“The assassins of the Divine Heaven Sect are really vengeful.”

“However, the Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden is being hunted down. Don’t the experts of the Jade Lake care?”

Yang Yan’s understanding of this world was too little.

There were many things that he was not clear about.

Leng Biyue didn’t find it strange anymore. The memory of this Sword Emperor hadn’t fully recovered, so it was normal for him to not know some things.

“Divine Heaven Sect is a sacred ground for assassins, and although it’s famous, it’s quite inconspicuous.”

“The almighty of the Sacred Ground of Jade Lake had once made a move.”

“The first few times, he didn’t even manage to find the gates of the Divine Heaven Sect. Later on, he finally managed to find a passageway that was connected to the Divine Heaven Sect.”

“The Almighty from the Sacred Ground of Jade Lake made a move from a distance, preparing to destroy a corner of the Divine Heaven Sect and make the sect suffer.”

“However, there were also people within the Divine Heaven Sect who took action.”

“In the end, the Almighty from the Sacred Ground of Jade Lake was slightly injured and stopped.”

“It was unknown if the Almighty from the Divine Heaven Sect had also been injured, or he was no longer breathing.”

“Later on, it was rumored that the Jade Lake Empress of the Jade Lake Holy Land had reached an agreement with the experts of the Divine Heaven Sect through voice transmission.”

“Only the younger generation is allowed to make a move, the older generation is not allowed to make a move against each other!” Leng Biyue explained.

“Xue Nichang, the Holy Maiden of the Jade Lake, often travels down the mountain…”

“To engage in battles with the assassins of the Divine Heaven Sect!”

“It was both to settle grudges and to temper herself.”

“She was very strong!”

“She was a heaven’s favorite-level figure!”

“When she stepped into the Path Palace Realm, there was also a strange phenomenon.”

“It was said that the strange phenomenon was so terrifying that it scared several female cultivators of the Jade Lake to death.”

“It only stopped causing harm when the Jade Lake Empress suppressed it.”

“The Empress also made it so that no one knew what the Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden’s strange phenomenon was, except for the cultivators of the sacred ground of Jade Lake.”

“I only know that it’s very powerful and terrifying!”

She also told Yang Yan about the background of Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden.

“Now it seems that the Divine Heaven Sect is getting serious.”

“They sent out a shadow assassin!”

“The Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden must have run away because she couldn’t win.”

“This shadow assassin was definitely not an ordinary heaven’s favorite since he could suppress the Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden.”

“Now it seems that there are many geniuses, and a great era is coming.” Leng Biyue said in a serious tone.

Shadow assassin!

They were equivalent to the Saints and Holy Maidens of the Sacred Grounds. They were heaven’s favorites.

Yang Yan looked at the back of Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden, Xue Nichang.

He wasn’t thinking about how powerful the Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden was!

Instead, he felt that this woman was of noble status and had a good temperament.

If she could be suppressed and become a servant like Leng Biyue, it might be a good thing!

“With a few more Holy Maidens serving me, my cultivation progress will speed up.”

“It’ll be much easier to get the treasures.”

If it wasn’t for Leng Biyue’s disloyalty, Yang Yan wouldn’t have thought of giving up on a Holy Maiden servant.

This was because a Holy Maiden was heaven’s favorite, meanwhile, Wu Daotian…

Although Yang Yan’s current cultivation level was not as high, when he leveled up in the future, he would definitely surpass Wu Daotian by hundreds of times.

Just treat it as an investment!

Of course!

The current Leng Biyue was definitely more useful than Wu Daotian. Otherwise, Yang Yan wouldn’t have asked Wu Daotian to carry the palanquin and let Leng Biyue serve him.

“It’ll be easier to do things with two more subordinates.”

He had also set his eyes on that shadow assassin from the Divine Heaven Sect.

This shadow assassin would be a good helper to help him assassinate his enemies and seize their treasures!

He could make good use of them as his subordinates!

Yang Yan ate another Snow Lychee that Leng Biyue had given him, chewing it in a simple manner.

There was a lot of juice!

Delicious!

“I can’t catch up to him now even if I want to.”

It didn’t matter if it was Wu Daotian or Leng Biyue.

For them to catch the shadow assassin or even the sacred ground of Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden was unrealistic.

None of the Saints and Holy Maidens were ordinary people. They must have many trump cards and means to escape.

“The next time we meet, I’ll make a move.” Yang Yan thought.

He leaned against the edge of the palanquin and continued to cultivate.

Soon, they arrived at Cloud City. Wu Daotian carried the palanquin and entered.

Such an appearance was very eye-catching.

“Just now, the Jade Lake’s Holy Maiden was being hunted down, and now, there are Fourth Realm experts as servants to carry the carriage. It seems that we, the weak, have no chance to get the treasures in the tomb this time.”

“Because of the strange phenomenon of the ten suns, many sects let their Saints and Holy Maidens leave the mountain.”

“That’s why we’re in such a prosperous age today!”

“That phenomenon is really rare in both ancient and modern times. On the premise of ten consecutive suns, there’s also the phenomenon of sea’s sundered night!”

“I wonder who this heaven’s favorite expert is. I’m afraid he has the possibility of becoming a Divine Emperor in the future!”

The crowd discussed animatedly, and some of them even mentioned the strange phenomenon that had happened not long ago.

Many people were shocked!

“What ten days of heavenly light? That’s bullsh*t!”

“In my eyes.”

“He was a coward!”

“If he has the ability, ask him to come out. I want to fight him!” An arrogant voice was heard.

He carried a long sword and was dressed in white.

“It’s the little genius of Cloud Sky Sect, Zhang Yuanlin!”

“He actually dares to speak like that. Isn’t he afraid that the monster will kill him?”

“I heard that his swordsmanship is superb. He’s about to master the 33 sword strikes of the Cloud Sky. That’s what gave him the confidence to look down on everyone!”

“That’s right. His cousin is the Saint of the Black Sky Sect. He can back him up!

Zhang Yuanlin walked on the street with an awe-inspiring arrogance.

He only heard others bragging about that monster, but no one talked about him.

He was both unconvinced and angry!

“Which part of me can’t compare to that person!” He thought. “At least now you’re discussing about me. Not bad, not bad!”

Suddenly, he saw Wu Daotian carrying a palanquin over. On the palanquin, there was a petite figure.

“Leng Biyue, the Holy Maiden of the Fairy Sect!”

His figure moved and stood in front of the palanquin.

“Miss Leng, I’m Zhang Yuanlin.”

“I would like to invite you to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for a gathering so that we can watch the grand scene of the world’s geniuses fighting for treasures together.” He cupped his hands and invited.

Leng Biyue!

The Holy Maiden of the Fairy Sect!

“The one in the palanquin is Leng Biyue!”

“It must be. Otherwise, who would be so generous as to let a person from the Fourth Realm carry the palanquin? ”

“Zhang Yuanlin seems to have always admired Leng Biyue and regarded her as a goddess in his heart!”

“The rumors are true. He went up to invite Leng Biyue as soon as he saw her!”

Instantly, many people looked over.

The Holy Maiden of the Fairy Sect is rumored to be extremely beautiful, like a fairy descending to the mortal world!

Many people wanted to see her peerless beauty!

“Get lost!”

Leng Biyue didn’t speak from inside the palanquin, but a man’s voice was heard.

The voice was full of dignity and carried a strong sense of oppression.

However, this sense of oppression did not surprise anyone.

What surprised everyone was that there was a man in Leng Biyue’s palanquin!

The Holy maiden of the Fairy Sect was in a palanquin with a man.

“This is too shocking!”

The face of Zhang Yuanlin, who was standing in front of the palanquin with his back bowed like a modest gentleman, twisted.

Leng Biyue, who he regarded as a goddess, was actually in the same palanquin as a man.

This was too much of a blow!

Whoosh!

The profound energy in his body surged and formed a strong wind.

“Whoever’s inside, get out!” Zhang Yuanlin shouted angrily.
