Chapter 71:

"I I can't explain it clearly." Hua Yiyi spoke softly, "But I always feel that Su Zhan's strength is even greater than what I witnessed. It's definitely not as simple as being slightly stronger than Ye Yunxuan."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Even if he's ten times stronger than Ye Yunxuan, it still wouldn't mean much."

The empress's expression remained calm, and she suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of a smile. "Ye Yunxuan is a precious genius of the Clear Sun Kingdom. I heard that the strong expert in the Fish-Dragon Realm pays quite a bit of attention to him. If he were to learn that Ye Yunxuan died at the hands of Su Zhan, I'm afraid Su Zhan would meet his demise before becoming truly powerful."

"Master"

"Don't worry."

The empress shook her head. "I won't bother with such a thankless task. Besides, although you fear this Su Zhan, I can tell that you also admire him greatly. If the opportunity arises, I will grant you your wish."

Hua Yiyi was taken aback. "But Master, didn't you say you wouldn't let Su Zhan enter the Sacred Pool?"

"The Sacred Pool is reserved for the most outstanding geniuses of our Flower Moon Kingdom. Naturally, he doesn't have the qualifications. However"

The empress smiled. "If he is willing to marry you, then I can allow both of you to enter the Sacred Pool for cultivation."

"Thank you, Master, for granting my wish!" Hua Yiyi was overjoyed.

The empress's smile disappeared, and she regained her imperial authority. "As a divine physique genius, of course, I hope he will submit to me. However, if he is unruly and ignorant, I wouldn't mind giving him a lesson and making him understand that talent is nothing compared to absolute strength!"

"Very well, you may leave now!"

"Yes, Master!"

After enduring for so many days, Hua Yiyi finally spoke about the matter and was not scolded by the empress as she had imagined. In fact, there was even a possibility of forming a marriage alliance with Su Zhan.

Hua Yiyi felt joyful, and her petite body moved with light footsteps.

Watching her leave, the empress of Flower Moon Kingdom shook her head. She was still too naive to be frightened by a mere Martial Master Realm cultivator.

Her fair and slender legs stepped out from the thin veil as the empress was about to leave the hall. Suddenly, she sensed someone approaching and halted her steps. Her gaze focused, looking at the black-clad woman who hastily ran in and knelt below her. "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the empress, Su Zhan, the one who has gained great fame in the eastern region Fifteen Kingdoms recently, has come to Flower Moon Kingdom!"

"He has come?" A smile curved at the corner of the empress's mouth.

Did he come without letting that old fellow Qin Jincheng know first? He's truly fearless.

"I'm aware, you may leave."

"Empress, after he arrived in Flower Moon Kingdom, he went to Lu Terrace Mountain!"

"Lu Terrace Mountain If I recall correctly, these days, the Xu Family is also holding a grand ancestral ceremony. Lu Terrace Mountain should have been sealed off. What is he doing there?" The empress became curious.

"He killed the head of the Xu Family!"

What incredible speed!

The guards were shocked and quickly notified the powerful individuals within the Hua Family. Soon, an Origin Elixir elder blocked Su Zhan's path and angrily rebuked, "Who are you to dare"

"I want to see Hua Yiyi." Su Zhan didn't bother with idle talk. A surge of sword intent erupted from him, like a vast river of stars, pressing toward the Origin Elixir elder.

Feeling the terrifying sword intent, the elder's expression changed, and he quickly changed his tune, "Please follow me!"

Did my sword intent become unnecessary before it even landed? Su Zhan looked at the elder with some surprise, nodded, and followed him.

Soon, in a garden, he saw Hua Yiyi.

"Senior Brother Su!" To Su Zhan's surprise, Hua Yiyi didn't show any worries or fears when she saw him. Instead, she seemed delighted.

Is it because she suffered severe trauma from the Dark Star Forest incident, causing mental illness? Tsk..

Su Zhan was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't dwell on it and went straight to the point, saying, "Miss Yiyi, I have come for the Sacred Pool."

"Well, the Sacred Pool is located within the imperial palace. I need to take you to meet the Empress first."

"The Empress understood." Su Zhan nodded.

Subsequently, Hua Yiyi left the Hua Family with him.

The elders, who were on edge, breathed a sigh of relief when they witnessed this scene.

Listening to their conversation, it seemed that Hua Yiyi and this person were very familiar with each other. Establishing a connection with such an outstanding genius would be beneficial and harmless, so they naturally had no reason to interfere. They bid farewell to Su Zhan with smiles on their faces.

Flying was forbidden in the imperial city, so Su Zhan and Hua Yiyi rode a fast demonic beast-drawn carriage towards the imperial palace.

Soon, they arrived at the imperial palace and got off the carriage to proceed on foot.

"Miss Yiyi, what a coincidence!"

At that moment, a voice sounded from behind. A young man dressed in luxurious clothing with fair and handsome features approached Hua Yiyi, accompanied by an elder in Origin Elixir realm. He smiled and walked towards her. He casually glanced at Su Zhan, but didn't pay any attention and didn't even greet him.

"Hello, Master Mo." Hua Yiyi turned around and greeted him with a smile.

Then she introduced, "This is Su Zhan, Senior Brother Su, the genius who is renowned in the southern fifteen kingdoms! Senior brother Su, this is Mo Tian, also recognized as the strongest martial talent in the current Flower Moon Kingdom!"

Su Zhan nodded towards Mo Tian, offering a greeting.

"Oh, it's you," Mo Tian heard Su Zhan's name but didn't react much. He chuckled and said, "I've heard that you have exceptional talent, but in my opinion, not breaking through to the Martial Master stage by the age of sixteen isn't really impressive."

"I'm already fourteen years old and approaching the late stage of the Martial Master Realm. Breaking through to Martial Master before the age of sixteen isn't difficult for me!"

"If it weren't for the setback in age, someone like you, Su Zhan, who gained fame in the Dark Star Forest, wouldn't be worth mentioning, right?"
