Chapter 53

Xiao Yueyin no longer has any reason to stay in Solitude City. With both Ji Xian and Xia Lihua traveling with her back to the Arcane Mountain, she was eager to leave.

Outside the city, the disciples from the Arcane Mountain and Ardent Yin Sect were bidding each other farewell.

After hugging Xiao Yueyin, Guo Xinyi entered her exquisite-looking carriage, as did the rest of her disciples. She gave Ji Xian one final look, a look that was full of meaning. Perhaps it was hope or was it expectations?

The four majestic polar bears with fur as white as snow roared into the sky before pulling the carriage away. It took only a moment for them to disappear into the distance.

Ji Xian watched them leave before turning in another direction. His gaze which seems capable of transcending space landed on a certain petite figure.

A smile appeared on his face.

Seni- uh, Ji Xian. Are you ready to leave?

Xiao Yueyin approached him and asked. It still didnt feel right to address him without formalities.

He softly chuckled and without looking at her, said, You know, sometimes you can be quite similar to Lihua, but there are also times when youre complete opposites.

What do you mean?

Youll come to understand soon enough. Ji Xian casually replied.

Xiao Yueyin silently stared at his side profile. Even though he was back in disguise, it was as though she can still see his appearance. His looks and personality have left a deep impression on her. Perhaps, even more so than Xia Lihua

Hey, stop daydreaming, lets go. He flicked her forehead before walking passed her while muttering something under his breath.

Sigh, being so handsome is also a burden.

With Xiao Yueyins cultivation, she was able to hear it clearly, causing her to blush.

It was fortunate that she was wearing a veil otherwise the disciples wouldve noticed something amiss.

What a narcissist

-

Far away, a young lady with dark crimson hair, surrounded by a dozen other individuals, quietly watched as the people of the Arcane Mountain turned into rays of colorful lights and flew into the clouds.

She wore a large dress that was calmly fluttering in sync with the wind. The orange hue from the sunset reflected off her red eyes, making her appear devilish. It was a complete contrast to her delicate features and the innocent aura that she naturally exudes.

As she appear to be deep in thought, a voice sounded out from behind her Lady Hong Tian, shall we return to the Sect?

The person who spoke looked to be in his thirties and had an ordinary appearance. His resplendent red and silver robe was noticeably different from the others, making it obvious he was someone with high status.

Hong Tian turned around and looked at this person. Her very action caused the people in the surroundings to lower themselves even more.

Elder Chen, have you found out why the Will of the Universe manifested?

Im sorry, Young Lady. Elder Chen seriously shook his head. Ive asked the Sect Master and the Sect Master has asked the Arcane Mountain. Unfortunately, even they dont know the cause of its appearance.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Hearing this, Hong Tian frowned. Although she didnt say anything, just the mere change in her expression was making Elder Chen inwardly sweat.

The fog that covered the mountain parted and a person came into view.

A man with thick stubble with numerous scars seen throughout his body walked out.

Combat Hall Master Zeng. The disciples immediately greeted.

Zeng Shihao ignored them and walked towards Xiao Yueyin.

She slightly bowed and indifferently said, Master.

Where have you been? He asked in a soft tone that seems to be on the verge of exploding. Why havent you sent any messages back.

I have been preoccupied. She replied, still rather indifferent.

Zeng Shihao wasnt offended by her attitude. He was used to it. Xiao Yueyin has always been a cold person with few words.

Only with certain people would she act differently from normal.

Zeng Shihao's eyebrows twitched upon hearing her response,

Preoccupied? What can you be so busy with that you cant take a second to send a message back?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

The mood dropped.

Seeing that his expression was getting ugly, the surrounding disciples swallowed their saliva and slowly backed away. His short temper was not only well known in the Arcane Mountain, but throughout the Mortal Desolate World. No one wants to be near Zeng Shihao when hes angry.

Just as Zeng Shihao was on the edge of erupting, XIao Yueyin continued, I need to speak with the Sect Master and the Ancestor.

She sent him a wisp of her spiritual sense so the disciples cant hear.

Its about them.

Although she was vague, Zeng Shihao instantly knew who she was talking about. A dangerous light flashed in his eyes as his temper cooled.

Come. He simply said, not doubting her for a second.

Xiao Yueyin nodded.

Just as theyre about to enter the fog barrier, dark clouds suddenly formed above their heads and a distant rumbling reverberated throughout the world.

This

Both Zeng Shihao and Xiao Yueyin looked up.

It cant be

Before they can get a grasp on whats going on, the entire world heavily shook. A familiar seven-colored light appeared and lit up the sky,

Fucking whats going on? Zeng Shihao cursed.

The Universal Will again?

Xiao Yueyin swiftly looked back at the vast ocean as a name came to her mind.

Is it you?
