Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age - Chapter 373
Chapter 373: Chapter 342 Yun Mengyao_1
A blue Escape Light streaked across the sky and appeared above the island. People quickly activated the Formation, and the Escape Light passed through the gap, descending from the sky.
The blue Escape Light dissipated like glowing fireflies, revealing an extraordinarily beautiful woman with a tall figure, eyes as deep as water, and a head full of bright blue hair.
“Senior Sister!”
Bai Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting by the side, eagerly greeted with a smile, showing exceptional enthusiasm.
“Greetings to the Pavilion Master!”
The other disciples who came to greet also bowed in salute, with Xu Mu blending into the crowd.
“Hm!”
The blue-haired woman gave a nod without any expression and walked towards the underground entrance at the center of the island.
“Senior sister, let me lead the way for you!”
Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared at the underground entrance. After a while, the crowd that had come to greet dispersed.
Watching the departing two, Xu Mu thought to himself: “The blue-haired Nascent Soul Stage, judging by her appearance, she should be Yun Mengyao, the new Fourth Master of the Butian Pavilion!”
The Outer Sea and the Cang Ming Ocean Territory are not isolated from each other. The forces of the Cang Ming Ocean Territory have subordinates in the Outer Sea, and the forces of the Outer Sea have planted many spies in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. Both sides have conflicts but also cooperation.
The Whale Sea Gang is a reputable force in the Outer Sea. Naturally, it collects information about the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.
They might not know the details, but big events like the promotion of a new Nascent Soul were impossible to conceal, unless there was intentional concealment.
Moreover, Xu Mu also had connections with the Four Seas Immortal Palace. It was not difficult for him to know about the situation in the Butian Pavilion, especially about well-known figures like Yun Mengyao.
From what he knew, Yun Mengyao was one of only two cultivators who had advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage in the past hundred years in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. The other one was from the Four Seas Immortal Palace.
As for the Cluster Stars Sect, there might have been people advancing, but they were too mysterious. Thus, it was impossible to find out.
Compared to the newly advanced Nascent Soul from the Four Seas Immortal Palace, Yun Mengyao was much more famous. It was said that when she was born, an unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky. She was seen by Qiu Jixing, the master of the Butian Pavilion who happened to pass by, and was directly taken in as a personal disciple.
She was the first disciple Qiu Jixing took on!
Later, Yun Mengyao indeed lived up to expectations. Her cultivation advanced rapidly, and she was superior to her peers in skills and Divine Skills. She prevailed over all in various fights, making even the geniuses of the Cluster Stars Sect to hold back. Her fame spread all over the seas and even reached the Sea Race.
She was the undisputed eldest sister in the Butian Pavilion, and everyone saw her as a certain once-in-a-generation prodigy destined to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
As expected, Yun Mengyao successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage before she was even three hundred years old and became one of the leading figures in this place.
Her speed of advancement placed her among the top three in the thousands of years of history of the Butian Pavilion. Some people even predicted that she had the potential to reach the Divinity Transformation.
In a recent spar, she had defeated an old Nascent Soul from the Four Seas Immortal Palace, causing her fame to soar.
It would be difficult for Xu Mu to not know about such a prominent figure.
The appearance of Yun Mengyao completely disrupted his plan, and he had to give up investigating the space crack reluctantly.
“After she leaves, I’ll find an opportunity to leave as well!”
Xu Mu shook his head helplessly in his heart. He was not afraid of Yun Mengyao, but he didn’t want to look for trouble either.
Even if the spatial passage could be accessed, he dared not rashly cross the territory of the Tongyou Sect to return to the Da Yuan Dynasty.
Originally, he just wanted to come here to take a look and confirm that the space crack still existed. Although it would be a pity if he couldn’t go over to take a look, it really didn’t matter that much.
Given his current power, even if Yun Mengyao was guarding, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to break through.
So he didn’t dwell on this matter too much, planning to quietly leave after Yun Mengyao left.
Time passed quickly. Yun Mengyao didn’t stay long before she turned into an Escape Light and left again. Xu Mu guessed that she had two look at the spatial passage and returned after confirming that there was no problem.
The Butian Pavilion should have already found out that this spatial passage would open once a month.
Under these circumstances, they did not invade in large numbers. From this, one could tell that they probably realized the danger on the other side.
They possibly already know about the existence of the Tongyou Sect and may have even clashed before.
The reason Yun Mengyao came here, apart from inspecting the opposite side, was probably also to prevent any top-tier martial artists from intruding.
As Yun Mengyao left, Xu Mu was preparing to sneak away when the handsome young man hurried over.
“The Palace Master wishes to see you! Follow me!” The handsome young man coldly glared at Xu Mu and threatened, “Remember, watch what you say when you see her, especially concerning the events of this month!”
This past month, he didn’t hesitate to vent his frustrations on Xu Mu. If Bai Xiaoxiao found out, he certainly wouldn’t have a good end.
“I understand!”
Xu Mu feigned fear but was sneering inside.
This Bai Xiaoxiao was really asking for trouble, refusing to take the easy road to heaven but barging into hell’s door instead.
He originally planned to kill the other party but was afraid of the trouble that would ensue. He didn’t expect the other party to once again expose their murderous intents pushing him to his limit.
“At least you know your place! Rest assured, I’ve spoken highly of you. The Palace Master won’t harm you!”
Seeing Xu Mu’s fear, the handsome young man felt slightly relieved, but still offered a sweet enticement to keep Xu Mu from acting rashly.
What he didn’t realise was that his actions were merely based on illusion.
“Let’s go!”
The handsome young man quickly led Xu Mu to Bai Xiaoxiao’s residence where Xu Mu faintly heard the sound of something breaking from inside.
“Palace Master! I have brought the person!” The handsome young man bowed and said.
“Let him come in himself, you can go now!”
An icy voice emanated from the room. Xu Mu could clearly sense a hint of anger in Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone.
“Yes!”
The handsome young man acknowledged and left Xu Mu to enter the room alone. He hurriedly turned around and left. It was clear that he had picked up on Bai Xiaoxiao’s displeasure and was afraid that if he stayed he would be implicated.
Just before leaving, he looked at Xu Mu with a hint of sympathy.
He had been bullying Xu Mu every day for a month, to the point where he had almost developed feelings for him. This would likely be the last time they saw each other so he couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.
If I had known, I would have been nicer to him. Why would I be jealous of a man on the verge of death! Alas!
Given Xu Mu’s low cultivation level, even if Bai Xiaoxiao were in a good mood, it’s doubtful whether he would have survived an encounter. Now, he could hardly imagine what was going to happen.
“Why haven’t you come in yet?!” Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone was already somewhat angry.
“Yes! Yes!”
Xu Mu continued to feign fear and at Bai Xiaoxiao’s threat, hurriedly pushed open the door and stepped inside.
He was eager to see what game this woman was planning to play.
Crash! Crash!
Inside the room, Bai Xiaoxiao was flinging objects around, causing destruction clearly venting her anger.
“That damn bitch, I stay in this godforsaken place all day and night without reward or recognition, and she dares to say I have been lax in my duties! The nerve of that woman!”
Bai Xiaoxiao swore aloud, and Xu Mu, who had just walked in, felt a jolt in his heart.
The person Bai Xiaoxiao was cursing at was presumably Yun Mengyao. If her slander got out, Bai Xiaoxiao would pay the price, even if it didn’t cost her life. Now that Xu Mu had heard her words, he could only imagine his fate.
This woman truly wants to kill me!
Well, then I won’t be polite either!
Xu Mu smirked at the corner of his mouth.
“What are you smirking at?”
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, her gaze cold as she stared at Xu Mu.
