Yan Jue stood in the great hall, waiting. After a while, she saw Mu Zhongzi walk out from inside.
Qi Xianqing followed closely behind Mu Zhongzi, her face expressionless.
Their gazes briefly met in the air.
Mu Zhongzi flicked his sleeves and sat back down in the hall. "The Ten Thousand Immortals Conference is about to begin."
"The court has just sent someone to notify us," Mu Zhongzi continued. "All major sects are to send representatives to Wen to discuss this matter. We will be departing soon for Wen to negotiate relevant issues."
Mu Zhongzi paused, then added, "You two are outstanding disciples of your sects and should go with us."
Yan Jue, who had frequently visited the Scripture Pavilion, was well aware of the current situation. In addition to the various immortal sects, there was also the Wen royal family.
The Wen royal family was located in the central plains of the mortal realm and had ruled over the human world for thousands of years. While the immortal sects and the human race could handle some matters independently, they still followed the royal family's regulation on major affairs.
The Wen royal family was not ordinary.
In an era where power was based on martial strength, the royal family needed its own capital to control both the immortal sects and the mortal world.
The Wen royal family was composed of a pure line of supreme golden spiritual roots.
They mastered a rare skill—alchemy.
Yan Jue looked up at the Demon Lord. He waved his hand and, expressionless, dismissed them.
As she watched Qi Xianqing's figure fade into the distance, the expression on the Demon Lord's face grew colder.
A figure suddenly emerged from the shadows behind him.
Elder Youlong came to the Demon Lord's side, smiling obsequiously. He whispered, "My lord, are you truly trying to win over Qi Xianqing?"
The Demon Lord replied, "The arrow is on the string; it must be released."
Elder Youlong looked a little worried. "But Yan Jue's sword... it's the Immortal Sword, Flowing Ice..."
The Demon Lord smiled faintly. "No matter. As long as Xianqing is willing to cooperate, this matter is bound to succeed!"
Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing silently walked out of the great hall when suddenly they heard footsteps behind them.
Yan Jue turned around.
Jiang Mengchu ran up to them, smiling. "I've been bored on the mountain for so long. Finally, I get to go out and play."
"Yan Jue, I heard the Central Plains court has lots of fun things. Is that true?"
She seemed very excited, and the force with which she patted Yan Jue's shoulder was unusually strong.
Yan Jue almost felt like her shoulder would crack.
Qi Xianqing's gaze fell on Jiang Mengchu's hand resting on Yan Jue's shoulder. She raised an eyebrow and, almost imperceptibly, furrowed her brow.
She lifted her hand and gently moved Jiang Mengchu's hand away. "Jiang Shimei, your constitution is special; you should avoid making such vigorous movements."
Yan Jue: "..."
Jiang Mengchu only then realized what had happened. "Sorry."
"It should be a lot more exciting than in the southwest, right?" Yan Jue nodded thoughtfully, then hesitated. "What's with your eyes...?"
