Chapter 1028 Yaochi City
Along the way, they never encountered anyone from the Demon God Temple again.
Shi Heng and Shen Fuzhou also sent news that no clues about the Demon God Temple were found.
Two and a half months later——
The sacred place of Yaochi.
Seeing the main city of Yaochi Holy Land from afar, Lan Xiaoxiao said with some surprise, "That's the Yaochi Holy Land!"
"That's right," Luo Li said, "The Immortals' Gathering will open in a dozen days. Let's stay in Yaochi City for a few days."
"good!"
The outline of the holy city of Yaochi is looming in the clouds and mist, like a watercolor painting.
Lan Xiaoxiao stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the city floating in the air in the distance, and couldn't help holding her breath.
Seventy-two white jade rainbow bridges hang down from the edge of the city, connecting to the mountains below. Cranes are circling above the rainbow bridges, shining brightly.
"So beautiful..." everyone exclaimed.
They stepped into Yaochi City. Glazed wind chimes hung from the eaves of buildings on both sides of the bluestone road, and the tinkling sound mixed with the hawking of vendors came towards them.
Lan Xiaoxiao tugged at Luo Li's sleeve, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the sugar painting stall on the street corner. "So many people are gathered here! That golden dragon-shaped sugar painting is actually glowing. Could it be that they used spiritual plant syrup?"
Luo Li was about to answer when she heard an argument coming from the front.
Three or five men in brocade clothing were surrounding an old man selling sugar paintings. The young man in the lead sneered, "My young master is the second young master of the Xuan family. Eating your food is a courtesy to you. How dare you ask for money?"
Lan Xiaoxiao's brows turned cold, and when her fingertips moved slightly, Luo Li had already pressed her wrist calmly. Her eyes swept over the jade pendant engraved with the words "Xuan Xiao" on the young man's waist, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Song Wanbai whispered, "The Yaochi Xuan family is well-known, but I didn't expect them to act like this in Yaochi City."
Lan Xiaoxiao was furious: "They're taking it by force in broad daylight. Is Yaochi City their Xuan family's backyard?"
Song Wanbai quickly stopped her whip as it was about to be unsheathed and said, "The Xuan family has been expanding rapidly in recent years. I'm afraid they want to use the Immortals Gathering to establish their prestige."
Luo Li glanced at the woman in a blue dress in the teahouse not far away and smiled, "The Yaochi Holy Land is still the Yaochi Holy Land after all, and the Xuan family is just one of the families there."
Before she finished speaking, the woman from the teahouse landed gracefully and said coldly, "Xuan Qin, do you really think that this Buli City is your Xuan family's back garden?"
Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "What is this?"
Luo Li curled her lips, "Look at the badge on her waist. She is the highest-level direct disciple of Yaochi Holy Land. This Xuan family has met a tough opponent."
When the woman in blue touched the ground, the hem of her skirt blossomed into an ice lotus pattern, and the two characters "Yaochi" on the jade pendant around her waist shone with a frosty glow in the sunlight.
Xuan Qin's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly bowed: "Mu Yuan, you misunderstood, we just..."
"Are you just using the Xuan family's name to rob and plunder?" Mu Yuan's fingertips condensed into three-inch ice spikes, and the bluestone slab in front of the sugar painting stall was instantly covered with white frost. "Within three breaths, get out of Suzaku Street. As for the Xuan family, I will send people to punish them for raising such a thing as you."
Suddenly, the sound of jade being tapped came from the teahouse window.
The young master in black robes chuckled while holding the cup: "Junior Sister Mu is quite angry."
Xuan Qin's eyes lit up, "Brother!"
The black bird pattern embroidered with gold thread on the man's cuffs seemed to be about to break through the air as his spiritual power surged. The golden dragon sugar paintings on the sugar painting stall suddenly trembled together, and the golden light hidden in the syrup turned into a thin needle hanging in front of the old man's throat.
Lan Xiaoxiao's whip snapped and wrapped around the nearest golden needle, and the syrup exploded into starlight at the tip of the whip.
Luo Li crossed her arms. She wanted to see how bold the Xuan family was.
"Xuan Xiao is going to kill someone in the street? This is the young master trained by the Xuan family?" Mu Yuan narrowed her eyes, her face full of dissatisfaction. "I think the Xuan family really doesn't take the Yao Chi Holy Land seriously."
Mu Yuan flicked her fingertips lightly, and a stream of light wrapped around Xuan Qin's wrist like a silver snake, causing his face to change suddenly due to the pain.
A low exclamation came from the crowd, and Lan Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to see the pattern of the Holy Lotus of the Jade Pool embedded in the woman's earrings, which was shining warmly in the sunlight.
"Miss Mu Yuan!" Xuan Qin gritted his teeth and struggled, "My Xuan family and the Yaochi Holy Land have always kept their distance..."
Xuan Xiao said coldly, "Miss Mu Yuan, think twice before you act. The person in front of you is the second young master of the Xuan family. If you snatch him away, how will you explain to the Xuan family?"
Mu Yuan sneered: "Explain? When the Xuan family was running wild here, did they ever think about explaining to the Yaochi Holy Land?"
She narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems that I have really given you guys a hard time recently. I don't know where you are now!"
Before she finished her words, the icy spikes on her fingertips suddenly grew longer and headed straight for Xuan Qin's throat.
Xuan Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and the spiritual power of the black bird pattern in his sleeves surged, but then he saw a green light breaking through the air and accurately breaking the spiritual power needle rain he had condensed.
"That's enough." The old man in white stood on the roof with his hands behind his back. The jade plaque on his waist was engraved with the words "Law Enforcement Hall". "The Xuan family members are causing trouble in the street. Follow me to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment."
Xuan Xiao's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to disobey. He glared at Mu Yuan fiercely, flicked his sleeves and dragged away the trembling Xuan Qin.
Mu Yuan narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, "You must remember where this place is."
The Discipline Hall elder said calmly, "Of course I know. I don't need you to remind me."
Lan Xiaoxiao looked at the direction where the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were leaving, and suddenly tugged at Luo Li's sleeve: "Look at that old man in the sugar painting—"
The old man was sighing at the shattered sugar painting. Mu Yuan flicked her fingertips, and a jade pendant flew into the old man's palm. "You can go to Lingxian Pavilion to claim compensation for your losses today."
The old man said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Mu Yuan."
After Mu Yuan finished dealing with it, she turned to look at Luo Li and the others and walked over. "You never leave the city?"
Luo Li raised her eyebrows. "Exactly. How did Miss Mu Yuan know this?"
Mu Yuan looked at Luo Li, "I've seen your portrait. You are the Young Master of Buli City, Luo Li."
Just as Mu Yuan finished speaking, a crisp bell rang suddenly from the corner of the street.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw twelve maids in white carrying a glass sedan chair. The nine-petal lotus embroidered on the curtain of the sedan chair glowed with a light golden light in the sunlight.
"It's the Saint's carriage!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Luo Li was a little surprised. Isn’t the Holy Lady of the Yao Chi Holy Land Fu Yu?
Lan Xiaoxiao noticed that Mu Yuan's back straightened instantly, and the jade pendant on her waist suddenly emitted a dazzling cold light.
The curtain of the sedan moved without wind, revealing half of a face covered with a silver veil.
"A Yuan," the voice of the person in the sedan chair was ethereal, "Why did you run out without telling me?"
Mu Yuan said respectfully, "Grand Saint, I suddenly felt bored today, so I thought of going out for a walk. It's my fault for forgetting to tell you."
"No problem," the Saint's voice sounded again, "Who are these people around you?"
Mu Yuan said: "He is a guest who will not leave the city."
"Oh?" The Saint's voice was filled with interest: "Someone who never leaves the city?"
"Exactly."
Luo Li said: "Don't leave the city, Luo Li."
