At the gate to the endless abyss, A Yao looked at the golden gate and took the opportunity to cast a million restrictions. However, after a while, the golden light slowly dimmed, and A Yao's primordial spirit left Feng Chu's body and returned to her own body.
"Is this okay?" Feng Chu asked.
Ayao said, "This is the limit of what I can do right now."
"What's next?" Feng Chu asked.
Ayao said, "You try every means to improve your strength, and so do I."
Feng Chu asked, "Anything else?"
“Taking over territory is something else I need to do,” Ayao said.
If the goal is to mobilize the entire power of the Canglan Realm, the best approach is, of course, to annex all the forces within it. Even if annexing all forces isn't feasible, at least they should be defeated before they will obediently follow orders.
————
The Tianshan Sect, located in the Middle-earth.
Pear blossoms, like snowflakes, were blown down by the wind and drifted past the carved round window.
The bamboo-green gauze curtains were lifted by the wind, revealing two figures seated beside a jade table inside the palace. A girl in purple robes possessed a face as beautiful as a bright pearl, while a man in white had features of near perfection. The man gazed tenderly at the girl sitting opposite him.
"You've been here for two months now. Aren't you going back to the Southern Region? Doesn't the Nangong family have any objections?" Ayao asked Nangong Qi.
"I don't think they have any objections," Nangong Qi chuckled. "Could it be that Ayao doesn't want me to stay?"
Looking at his face, which was exactly the same as Luo Bai's, A Yao found it hard to shoo him away. She said, "I didn't say that."
After saying that, she looked away.
He looked so much like Luo Bai, which made her feel extremely conflicted. If it were in her past life, if that old mudfish were in front of her, she would have told him to get lost without hesitation.
She was used to being confrontational with Luo Bai.
Every time Nangong Qi looked at her with that tender gaze, she would have a strange feeling, as if she had returned to that thousand-year-old dream, a dream in which she and Luo Bai were husband and wife. Only in her dreams would Luo Bai look at her with such eyes.
He is not Luo Bai, but this is not a dream either.
Just then, a woman's voice rang out:
"Disciple Ye Qinghua requests an audience with the Sect Leader!"
Three women stood in mid-air in front of Chang Le Peak. These three women were all Void Refinement stage elders of the Tianshan Sect.
Ayao spread her divine sense, glanced outside Chang Le Peak, and said, "Come in, all of you!"
A gap opened in the barrier of Chang Le Peak, and the three female elders, who had transformed into three long rainbows, flew in through the gap. After landing outside the main hall, they stepped into the main hall together.
Nangong Qi looked at the three women and saw that one of the female elders was tall and slender, one was plump, and one was petite and delicate, but all of them had extraordinary appearances.
Especially the petite and exquisite one, she is an extremely rare beauty. Although she has lived for thousands of years as a female cultivator in the Void Refinement stage, she still looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and her expression is as innocent as a young girl's.
However, compared to A Yao, she is far inferior.
Nangong Qixin said.
Nangong Qi glanced at her briefly before turning his gaze back to A Yao, a tender look returning to his eyes.
When Ye Qinghua, Xiao Yanyan, and Shi Xinyi entered, they were all shocked to see the white-robed man sitting next to the sect leader. What a handsome man!
Clad in pristine white robes, with an ethereal beauty, he was the most handsome man I had ever seen in thousands of years of cultivation. He was a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, just like them. Were there such figures in the Central Continent? How come I've never heard of them before?
Ye Qinghua, who lived the longest, was the first to snap out of her daze at Nangong Qi's beauty. The other two stared at Nangong Qi for a long time before Ye Qinghua cleared her throat and realized that she had lost her composure. They immediately clasped their hands and bowed to A Yao.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Xiao Yanyan and Shi Xinyi were filled with apprehension. Could this male cultivator be the sect leader's cultivation partner? If so, the sect leader would naturally be displeased with their staring at him like that.
Thinking of this, their hearts skipped a beat.
They knew nothing about A Yao. Ten years ago, A Yao's clone came here, defeated the former leader of the Tianshan Sect, crippled his cultivation, and then became the new leader. A Yao never mentioned her origins to anyone, and since she didn't speak, naturally no one dared to ask.
Ayao glanced at Nangong Qi, then at Ye Qinghua, Xiao Yanyan, and Shi Xinyi. She smiled and said, "This is our new elder of the Tianshan Sect, Nangong Qi."
New elder?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall except for A Yao showed surprise.
Nangong Qi smiled at A Yao and asked telepathically, "When did I become a new elder of the Tianshan Sect?"
Ayao transmitted her voice, "Is it beneath you to make you an honorary elder?"
Nangong Qi was delighted: "It's an honor, an absolute honor!"
Ye Qinghua and the others didn't know what he and A Yao were exchanging whispers, but judging from their expressions, Ye Qinghua, Xiao Yanyan, and Shi Xinyi could guess that they were definitely communicating telepathically. Seeing Nangong Qi smiling and the sect leader also seeming to smile, they all thought: Even if this new elder isn't the sect leader's cultivation partner, he's definitely someone with whom he has an ambiguous relationship.
Because the Southern Region is separated from the Central Continent by the sea, Nangong Qi keeps a low profile in the Southern Region, so it's not surprising that the three elders of the Tianshan Sect don't know about him.
Of the three elders, only Ye Qinghua had heard of Nangong Qi's name, but she couldn't recall it. After all, she had only heard of the name of the third young master of the Nangong family in the Southern Region, not seen him. If she had seen him, given his appearance, no one would forget him, not even for a fleeting glance.
"So it's Elder Nangong! I am Ye Qinghua. Greetings, Elder Nangong!" Ye Qinghua said politely.
Nangong Qi returned the greeting with clasped hands: "Elder Ye, you are too kind!"
"This humble servant is Xiao Yanyan. Greetings, Elder Nangong!" Xiao Yanyan said with a smile to Nangong Qi.
"Elder Xiao is very courteous!"
"My name is Shi Xinyi. Greetings, Elder Nangong!" Shi Xinyi said with a smile.
"Elder Shi is very courteous!"
Seeing that they already knew each other, Ayao asked Ye Qinghua and the other two:
"Have you taken care of the tasks I assigned you?"
“Lingyue Sect, Huoyun Palace, and Xiaonan Valley have all submitted to our Tianshan Sect, but Qinglian Sect refuses to submit. The sect leader of Qinglian Sect even made some outrageous remarks. He, he said…” Ye Qinghua looked at A Yao, seemingly hesitant to repeat what the sect leader of Qinglian Sect had said.
Ayao asked, "What did he say?"
Before Ye Qinghua could continue, Shi Xinyi spoke up:
“That guy is incredibly arrogant. He said that it’s a pipe dream to make the Qinglian Sect submit to our Tianshan Sect. He also said that our Tianshan Sect is nothing more than a sect led by a bunch of women and is not worth fearing. He even said that he would attack our Tianshan Sect and capture you, the sect leader, alive to be his concubine.”
Ayao wasn't angry when she heard this. She simply said calmly, "Sect Master of the Azure Lotus Sect, fine! I'll go and meet him in person and see how he captures me alive."
After saying that, he stood up, and Nangong Qi also stood up.
Ayao looked at Nangong Qi and smiled slightly, "If you don't want to go back to the Nangong family so soon, then come with me to subdue the Qinglian Sect!"
Nangong Qi gazed into A Yao's azure eyes, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said with a gentle smile, "The sect leader has given an order; how could Nangong dare disobey!"
