The Palace Master Seeks a Marriage Partner

Gu Changfeng and Tu Langlang were in the midst of a fierce and heated fight.

The ladies of the Azure Luan Pavilion had also gathered around, cheering for Tu Langlang.

Langlang, go! Go! Go!

Take down this shameless lecher!

At that moment, a swirl of crimson flames rose.

Stop this!

An Yi's voice drifted over leisurely. With a flash of his Flame Step, he instantly appeared between the two combatants.

Oh no!

Seeing An Yi intervene so abruptly, Gu Changfeng was shocked, but he couldn't retract his sword in time, which came slashing down towards An Yi's face.

The women screamed, covering their eyes in fright.

Clang!

An Yi extended two fingers, steadily catching Gu Changfeng's longsword between them.

His every move was effortless and suave.

[Heart-to-Heart Finger]

A skill specifically for showing off!

Thump!

Meanwhile, Tu Langlang, who was executing a sweeping leg technique from below, couldn't pull back his attack in time and kicked An Yi squarely in the shin.

An Yi:

Seeing it was An Yi, Tu Langlang was instantly terrified and hurriedly said, "B-boss, sorry, I couldn't stop in time."

Tu Langlang still held a deep respect and awe for An Yi.

After all, in the Ancient Continent, Night Emperor An Yi was synonymous with immense power.

"This bit of attack is nothing to me."

An Yi revealed a gentle, breezy smile.

Secretly, he gritted his teeth.

Damn it! That hurts like hell!

How could this kid hit so hard?

The women of the Azure Luan Pavilion gazed infatuatedly at An Yi, their faces flushed, hearts fluttering.

In their eyes, An Yi was handsome, elegant, graceful, and incredibly powerful—simply perfect!

An Yi!

Tu Yiyi's delighted voice rang out as she rushed over swiftly.

An Yi reacted agilely, sidestepping her flying tackle.

Tu Yiyi stopped, not embarrassed at all, and said shyly, "You came to see me?"

"I'm not here for you, don't get the wrong idea!"

An Yi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, taking light, unhurried steps, raising his coolness factor to the max. He lowered his voice and said leisurely, "What's going on here?"

Tu Langlang said through gritted teeth, "He was peeping into the women's bathhouse!"

"What!"

An Yi's expression changed, and he rebuked angrily, "That's utterly despicable behavior!"

Gu Changfeng said indignantly, "Who was peeping? Don't make false accusations!"

Ning Er, standing to the side, added fuel to the fire: "Still denying it? The ones bathing inside were all girls aged eleven or twelve. Who else but you would peep at them!"

"Slander!

Barefaced slander!"

Gu Changfeng trembled with rage.

Was he the kind of person who liked little girls!?

Eleven or twelve years old and fourteen or fifteen years old—that's a full two years' difference!

They're completely different concepts!

Tu Yiyi sighed helplessly, facepalming. "Brother, it might really not be him. This guy only likes the 14-to-16-year-old range."

Could we have wronged him?

Tu Langlang was a bit confused. "Then who stole Protector Yang's flowers?"

Gu Changfeng said through clenched teeth, "I didn't do something as dirty as stealing flowers! A scholar would rather die than be humiliated!"

An Yi was speechless. This bunch of people really had nothing better to do.

So what if someone barged into the bathhouse!

So what if some flowers were stolen!

Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss over such trivial matters?

"Alright, everyone listen up. We're starting an emergency meeting immediately."

An Yi said with a serious expression.

Now was not the time for fun and games.

The Heavenly Palace's strength far surpassed that of the Asura Sect. If they were determined to fight the Asura Sect head-on,

the current them might not necessarily be a match for the people from the Heavenly Palace.

These past few days, aside from An Yi, no one in the Azure Luan Pavilion had been idle.

Many people had been sent out to search for and gather those members of the Asura Sect who had arrived in this different world.

But so far, they had only managed to find fifty or sixty people.

Key personnel like Lin Chen, Shangguan Qianqian, Mo Jiu, and Han Liang—none of them had arrived yet.

Mo Jiu and Han Liang were also recipients of the potion.

In terms of strength, the current Mo Jiu would be a force to be reckoned with even in the Immortal Sect world. As for Han Liang...

An Yi still felt that a vial of potion had been wasted on him.

It seemed unrealistic to just keep waiting for the Asura Sect members to regroup.

Moreover, they couldn't afford to wait much longer.

If the Heavenly Palace launched a surprise attack and they got wiped out in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be the end?

It wasn't time for a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Palace yet. They had to plan how to evacuate and disperse the personnel.

"An Yi, so you're here..."

At that moment, Mu Qingyi hurried over, her steps rushed.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Mu Qingyi's expression, An Yi couldn't help but ask.

Mu Qingyi said gravely, "It's somewhat good news. The Heavenly Palace probably can't spare any attention for us right now."

"What's going on?" An Yi asked curiously.

Mu Qingyi's expression was subtle: "Right now, the Heavenly Palace's Palace Master, Murong Qinghong, seems to be preparing to hold a marriage-seeking contest!"

"A marriage-seeking contest? Impossible, how old is the Heavenly Palace Palace Master? She's still holding a contest?"

"Hahaha, maybe the Palace Master can't hold back her desire for a man anymore, wouldn't you say!"

"However, this matter has been confirmed. In Huang City, they've even posted notices about the contest."

"Tsk tsk, the treatment... whoever becomes her man would be almost like an emperor's consort in the old days, getting whatever he wants."

"Let me tell you, the benefits don't stop there. The Heavenly Palace Palace Master is also very beautiful. She's forty now, but as tender as a girl in her early twenties..."

In a tavern at the edge of the Tianluo Forest, several burly men drank and traded all sorts of crude and vulgar remarks.

They seemed to have no particular respect for the so-called Heavenly Palace Palace Master.

After all, for these outlaws living on the edge, the Heavenly Palace Palace Master was just a distant, untouchable figure.

At another table, a cold-faced young man drank tea, quietly listening.

Having slaughtered demon beasts for many days, a terrifying aura of killing intent emanated from him. The other patrons around also carefully avoided this young man.

This person was Lin Chen.

He had finally emerged from the pitch-dark depths of the Tianluo Forest.

Rubbing the jade pendant on his chest, Lin Chen pondered slightly.

"Kid, you must be very careful of this world's Heavenly Palace."

A voice, weathered by time, came from within the jade pendant, audible only to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded. "Mm."

"Back in the day, it was these very people who persecuted me! That's why I was imprisoned at the bottom of Tianluo Lake!"

The weathered voice could barely contain its anger.

Lin Chen's expression remained indifferent.

The entity within the jade pendant was precisely the black dragon he had encountered in the lake!

Only, it was the dragon's soul that had entered the pendant; its main body remained at the bottom of Tianluo Lake.

The black dragon yearned for freedom.

And the current Lin Chen also needed its power.

Thus, after one night, the two reached a pact.

Using the jade pendant as the vessel of their contract, Lin Chen brought the black dragon's soul out with him.

The people in the tavern continued discussing the topic of the Heavenly Palace Palace Master.

They dared to say all sorts of lewd and outrageous things, getting more and more excited, even clamoring that they couldn't take it anymore and needed to find a courtesan!

"Speaking of which, do you guys know about the Heavenly Palace's Saintess? Tsk tsk, her looks are absolutely peerless."

A buck-toothed martial artist said with a smug grin.

"Saintess? There's such a thing?"

The others also showed curiosity, gathering around.

"Heh, you guys really don't know?"

The buck-toothed martial artist laughed. "She made an appearance in Huang City a while back. She's devastatingly beautiful. I swear, I've never seen a woman that beautiful in my life, even prettier than Peach Blossom, the top courtesan at the Joyful Red Pavilion!"

"Quit your damn bragging. Women are all pretty much the same. Can she compare to Lady Mu of the Azure Luan Pavilion?"

The other martial artists showed looks of disdain.

The buck-toothed one said righteously, with absolute certainty, "At the very least, she's on par. Her beauty definitely doesn't lose to Mu Qingyi!"

"What's the Saintess's name? Never heard of her before."

The people around asked curiously.

The buck-toothed martial artist scratched his head and said, "I think it was something like... Shangguan Qianqian."

Lin Chen, who had been sipping his tea, paused, his hand freezing mid-air upon hearing that name.
