Chapter 51 - Colorful Linglong Palace, the Saintess Arrives

Hearing the loud noise outside, Su Xiaoyue immediately rushed to the restaurant window. She always enjoyed a lively atmosphere. Similarly, Su Wanyan and Blood Rose couldn’t resist their curiosity and walked towards the window. After all, this situation resembled a game plot, and it was hard to resist the urge to see what was happening. Only Gu Liuyun remained unperturbed, sitting at the table, enjoying his meal and drink, as if he didn’t care about the outside world.

Su Xiaoyue, puzzled, turned to Gu Liuyun and asked, “Aren’t you curious, Liuyun?”

Gu Liuyun smiled and replied, “The protagonist hasn’t entered yet. Why rush? After all, it’s the audience.”

Su Xiaoyue didn’t quite understand his words and turned her head to gaze at the sky outside with a perplexed expression. The enormous sound earlier had resonated throughout White Emperor City, drawing countless people out of their rooms to see what audacious event was unfolding. Someone had the audacity to demand that the Lord of White Emperor City come out to welcome them.

“I am Wu Hongfei, the Lord of White Emperor City. My apologies for the delay. Where is the Holy Maiden?”

Just then, a gentle male voice resonated, and the people in the city witnessed a middle-aged man flying out from the City Lord’s Mansion and hovering in the sky above White Emperor City. This scene left all witnesses in awe. It’s worth noting that the guardians of each city were formidable Nascent Soul realm cultivators, and in the case of White Emperor City, Wu Hongfei had even reached the late stages of the Nascent Soul realm, just one step away from reaching the Taoist Comprehension realm.

The White Emperor City Lord’s appearance, coupled with his respectful tone, was truly unbelievable. At that moment, a burly old man dressed in a red robe flew in from the distance. He stopped in front of Wu Hongfei and presented a token.

“Don’t talk too much. This is our sect’s token. Quickly open the city barrier to welcome our sect’s Saintess.”

Wu Hongfei respectfully bowed and said, “Elder Tong, I’ll open the barrier now.”

Wu Hongfei then took out a white seal from his spatial ring and poured his spiritual power into it, causing the white seal to light up, and a massive barrier appeared in the sky above White Emperor City. With a hand gesture and a command, a 100-meter-wide passage was created in the barrier.

Elder Tong, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction and became much more amiable. “City Lord Wu, please wait here with me; the Saintess is about to arrive.”@@novelbin@@

Wu Hongfei agreed with a nod and stood alongside Elder Tong in the sky, patiently waiting. Observing this, Su Xiaoyue was astounded and said, “Who is this Saintess, making the White Emperor City Lord wait for her even before her arrival?”

Su Wanyan pondered for a moment and speculated, “This Holy Blade Flame Sect appears to be a powerful sect in the Nine Realms not accessible to regular players. That’s why the White Emperor City Lord is showing such reverence to their Saintess.”

Upon hearing her words, Gu Liuyun smiled faintly and added, “Wanyan, you’ve got it partly right.”

“In the Nine Realms, the human territories are governed by three major capital cities: White Emperor, Red Ghost, and Canghai Ming. The respective state’s holy land manages each of these cities.”

“The state domain to which White Emperor City belongs is White Phoenix Continent, and the holy land of White Phoenix Continent is the Holy Blade Inferno Sect.”

Hearing Gu Liuyun’s explanation, the three women suddenly realized. Su Xiaoyue was even more surprised, “So the White Emperor City Lord’s top boss is here. No wonder he is so respectful.”

Blood Rose asked a little strangely: “Brother Gu…”

Gu Liuyun quickly waved his hands and said, “Don’t call me that.”

Su Wanyan smiled and lightly patted Blood Rose, saying: “He is younger than you. Just call him Liuyun.”

Blood Rose was slightly embarrassed and said, “I want to ask, Liuyun, how did you know this? I also wanted to know the background of the Nine Realms, but I didn’t find any relevant information in the forum.”

Gu Liuyun smiled inwardly. He had never been to the library in the Taoist Palace. He just made up an excuse earlier. However, every sect has such books. It wouldn’t be difficult for Blood Rose to find them.

At that moment, Su Xiaoyue suddenly exclaimed, “Here she comes! The saint is here!”

Hearing her, Su Wanyan and Blood Rose turned their heads to look outside, and Gu Liuyun also went to the window to see.

“Boom.”

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a small black dot appeared on the distant horizon. As it got closer, the dot grew larger, and with its approach, a powerful aura spread, and everyone could see that it was an enormous flying palace. The entire Flying Palace was incredibly splendid, seemingly carved from a massive piece of pristine white jade, glistening under the sunlight and emitting a rainbow of colors.

The Rainbow-colored Luminous Hall! It was one of the Holy Blade Flame Sect’s most treasured possessions, ranking among the top treasures for sect protection. It could fly at speeds comparable to those of Heavenly Tribulation Realm experts and was offensive and defensive. It could withstand the attacks of Heavenly Tribulation Realm experts. Its quality was top-notch, classified as an exquisite Dao Treasure, and personally crafted by the Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect at great cost.

Gu Liuyun was amazed as he watched, even though he had seen it once in his previous life. Witnessing it again in this life, he couldn’t help but admire the grandeur of the Holy Blade Flame Sect, as they were willing to send the Rainbow-colored Luminous Hall for the Saintess’s journey. Such a gesture was something very few sects or holy grounds could match. The palace came to a gentle stop, and soft music played as dozens of handmaidens flew out of the palace, standing mid-air on either side. They waved their long sleeves, and fragrant petals from spirit flowers covered the entire White Emperor City.

Wu Hongfei and Elder Tong bowed respectfully, saying, “We welcome the Saintess.”

“Gift.”

A soft female voice echoed from the palace, and then everyone saw a woman with an extraordinary appearance who stepped into the void and slowly walked out of the palace.
