"Get some rest. We'll have to head to the City Lord's mansion to attend a gathering. I heard... that many outstanding Qi Artists have been invited and there would definitely be some who are secretly working for the Dark Sect. They might issue a challenge to you," Xuan Ji said after some thought.
Hua Qiyue's brows arched as she asked, "Why do we have to attend a gathering?"
Hua Qiyue was not interested in such gatherings. She was only interested in constantly improving her cultivation and becoming more powerful.
"You will definitely be able to gain something from it if you go," Xuan Ji said simply.
Hua Qiyue couldn't understand his words but she didn't probe any further and returned to her room to rest. She had taken the medicine pellet but she would need to rest and recuperate if she wanted to completely get rid of the foreign force within her body.
She frowned slightly but knew that Xuan Ji would have his own rea
"Don't worry, we'll know the reason soon enough," Hua Qiyue said calmly. She took a sip of wine and her gaze couldn't help but travel to Hua Mengshi who sat across her. Hua Mengshi looked like she had lost some weight but her eyes were sharper than they ever were. As her gaze swept past Hua Qiyue, her eyes gave off a murderous look. Hua Qiyue was the only person who could feel the murderous intent in her eyes. "She's approaching us!" Huangfu Xuan exclaimed softly. He felt that Hua Mengshi was not one to be trifled with. She didn't conceal her aura, so everyone could tell that she had attained lower Round Sun cultivation, which was equivalent to Hua Qiyue's cultivation. However, no one knew if she had any other lethal skills or secret arts hidden up her sleeve. If she did, then even Hua Qiyue would probably not be her match. Hua Qiyue did not fear Hua Mengshi. She had mastered the Spirit
At this moment, an announcement interrupted the company's discussions. Hua Qiyue lifted her eyes. She saw from the backyard gate a line of people enter. The man at its head was dressed in snowy-white robes, with silvery hair. His demeanor and gait were noble. His expression was neither happy nor sad, as he slowly progressed to the master's seat. The people behind him were all male guards, every one at the Great Completeness of Cultivation Dimension. The man leading the company had retracted his aura and no one could detect it. Bai Qianxue nodded at Xuanji and glanced over to Hua Qiyue, the expression in his eyes a little complicated. When his gaze fell on Hua Mengshi, Hua Mengshi's eyes started to light up. She also stood up like the rest and gave Bai Qianxue a slight curtsy. Seeing Hua Mengshi's "little woman" mentality, Hua Qiyue started slightly. She did not expect this woman to act so gentle and pliant, although she was a m
After all, curiosity was a common trait of all humanity. Murong Zhen'er's words had attacked their curiosity. "Yes, Miss Murong was only curious. Second Miss, although you occupy a more eminent status than Miss Murong, she's also your adopted sister. We, too, wish to see Hua Qiyue's abilities!" The company started to laugh. They turned their expected eyes upon Hua Qiyue. "Yes, we too wish to see the Princess's rune abilities." The crowd started to clamor. Bai Qianxue was still taking his wine leisurely on his seat. Xuanji, too, was indifferent and silent. Ji Feng was just about to speak up for Hua Qiyue when she stopped him. "Since everyone expects it, I can only embarrass myself!" Hua Qiyue stood up, her body of white robes complementing her slim, elegant figure even more. Hua Qiyue stepped out slowly. There was a great crowd here. It was not possible to form a big rune a
Then, who was it? "Could Your Highness let me know who he is?" Bai Qianxue asked quietly, his eyes full of entreaty. Hua Qiyue started. Her Master, Tianpi, was from 10,000 years ago. Even if she had revealed his name, he would not know him. "I'm sorry. My Master has instructed me to keep his identity a secret. All I know is that he's an infinitely powerful Qi Artist. But... " Hua Qiyue became quiet for a while. "But now, he is missing." Bai Qianxue showed his great surprise and disbelief, but soon recovered his tranquil expression. He asked tenderly, "Your Highness, do you need us to help locate him?" "Yes, City Master Bai. Take it that I owe you a favor. Please help me locate Yun Shimo and the boy with him. Of course, the person I want to find most is Tianci, not Yun Shimo." With these words, Hua Qiyue took out a small portrait scroll and unfurled it. On it was the face of a boy with a radiant, inno
When Hua Mengshi heard the phrase "Spirit Summoning Art," her facial expression changed greatly. In the library of the Murong Family, she had read many insiders' books. One such book, Notes on Lost Arts, had mentioned that the Spirit Summoning Art was a lost art of the continent. Although there were three elders, they would not teach the Spirit Summoning Art to outsiders. It could be considered a lost secret art. This art could make a person lose control of his mind and emotions, completely manipulated by the spell-caster. By the time Hua Mengshi recalled all these information and tried to dodge, it was already too late! A powerful, primitive aura gushed over, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Her body was rendered ice-cold, unable to move! She stared stupidly at Hua Qiyue before her eyes, hearing no one's voice except for Hua Qiyue's. She could not hear even the slightest sound from the outside world.
Yun Shimo had wanted to leave, but he stayed behind to hear Madame Yun's words. Madame Yun carefully pulled up the blanket on Tianci. It was early autumn and the weather was quite cold, especially so in the cave. Although Hua Qiyue was not with them, Tianci had been well taken care of. But his heart still suspected Princess Qianyang's real identity. "Mo-er, you've brought Tianci along here. Qiyue... must be heartbroken? Sigh. Mother don't know what you want. I haven't asked you all this while because I trusted you. But it's been a year. Why hasn't Qiyue found us?" Madame Yun could not understand why Yun Shimo had brought them to live here in seclusion. When she remembered Hua Qiyue pretty, little face, Madame Yun still had a good impression of her. On the whole, she preferred Hua Qiyue to Princess Qianyang. Although Princess Qianyang had lived outside the palace, she was still very pampered. Neither
On this day, when Hua Qiyue had just emerged from her cultivation trance, Xuanji came over and handed her a vial. Hua Qiyue took it and looked. "Top-grade Magic Pellet again? City Master Bai seems to refine this pill as easily as cooking rice. Is it that simple?" Hua Qiyue asked in surprise. After all, this was the world's foremost divine pill. Not everyone could refine one. "Of course not. It takes seven days to refine one Top-grade Magic Pellet. After a high-level alchemist has refined it, he will take two months or so to recover his energy. And some alchemists might not succeed and will explode and die!" Xuanji said quietly. Hua Qiyue heard him and her face color changed a little. She had not expected the world's foremost pill to be so horrendously difficult to refine. No wonder even those alchemists who could refine such pills would not do it for others. "It looks like refining a To
Although Hua Qiyue had made the decision on the spot, Xuanji and the others also quietly packed their luggages. Needless to say, they would surely follow Hua Qiyue. Although they were just friends, they had lived together for a year and was used to one another's existence. Besides... being by her side had become a terrible habit. They could no longer change it. "Sister Qiyue, I heard that the north region of Yuewu Kingdom is an important site for the Dark Sect. The Dark Sect's so powerful that even the Emperor has to avoid them most of the time. Their men have committed all sorts of atrocities, and their powers are about the same level as the orthodox sects'. That's why, after battling for so many years, neither side has the edge. Surely, someone will watch us when we are in Xuanyuan City." Ji Jing said rather worriedly. After all, all their cultivation levels were not especially high. Ji Feng gave a light smile. "Jing'er, you
