Chapter 52 - Ancient Flame Domain

The saint possessed an elegant figure, a slender waist, flowing hair, and unparalleled beauty. Her brows shine red, resembling a natural mark of divinity. At this moment, she wore a long dress adorned with flame patterns, standing gracefully in the air, resembling a captivating burning phoenix feather flower.

The Holy Blade Flame Sect, initially known as the Blade Flame Sect, specialized in blade techniques and fire-based Dao methods. It achieved the status of a holy ground three thousand years ago when a cultivator reached the Great Dao realm within the sect, leading to the renaming as the Holy Blade Flame Sect. The Holy Son and the Holy Saintess hold the most esteemed positions within this Holy Land.

Yan Longling was the Saintess of the Holy Blade Flame Sect, the direct heir of the Yan lineage. She was a prodigious talent, reaching the Late Divine Abode realm at age twenty, making her a remarkable figure among cultivators. Upon seeing the Saintess, Wu Hongfei, the Lord of White Emperor City, respectfully invited her to rest in his mansion.

Onlookers in White Emperor City discussed this rare and impressive appearance, even those in the God Transformation Realm showing great respect. Su Xiaoyue couldn’t help but express her admiration in a restaurant, a sentiment that Su Wanyan and Blood Rose shared.

Gu Liuyun, as he watched Yan Linglong’s disappearance into the City Lord’s Mansion, smiled with a sense of knowing. He knew that the Saint’s grand entrance was, in fact, quite modest for her true identity, considering she had secretly escaped. He wondered how Su Xiaoyue would react when she discovered this. However, now that Yan Linglong had appeared, the mission would likely follow soon, and Gu Liuyun needed to prepare for it.

With this in mind, Gu Liuyun told Su Wanyan and the others, “We have successfully completed the first exploration of the secret realm. Wanyan, you can start preparing for the guild’s affairs, and I’ll temporarily depart.”

Su Wanyan was puzzled and asked, “As my future guild leader, are you planning to leave everything behind?”

Gu Liuyun smiled and replied, “Not exactly leaving everything behind, but I must attend to something. If things go well, we might be able to obtain the first alliance token and make our guild the top alliance in the Nine Realms.”

Su Wanyan’s eyes lighted up as she asked, “The alliance token?”

Gu Liuyun nodded and said, “Yes, I can’t give you all the details, but I intend to try it.”

Gu Liuyun recalled that the White Emperor City Lord possessed an alliance token. To acquire it, one needed to have a high level of favorability with the White Emperor City Lord or make significant contributions to the city. Gu Liuyun believed his upcoming actions might allow him to increase his favorability with the White Emperor City Lord and obtain the alliance token.

“Since that’s the case, just follow your plan. If you can obtain the first alliance token, my sister will reward you,” Su Wanyan said in a seductive voice, her words deliberate.

Gu Liuyun’s heart skipped a beat, and before he could respond, he witnessed Su Xiaoyue reach out and pinch Su Wanyan’s cheek directly, saying, somewhat displeased, “Speak properly.”

“Oh, you brat, dare to pinch my face. Are you rebelling?” Su Wanyan retorted, leading to a playful brawl between the two.

Meanwhile, Blood Rose, who had observed the entire scene, had a somewhat inscrutable expression. From her perspective, it seemed like Su Wanyan was teasing Gu Liuyun while Su Xiaoyue acted out of jealousy…

What is the relationship between these three individuals? Could both sisters be fond of him?

As she pondered, Blood Rose suddenly recalled the scene where Gu Liuyun had clung to her leg in front of the Blood Bat Palace earlier. Her cheeks flushed involuntarily, revealing a hint of embarrassment. Gu Liuyun had been enjoying the spectacle, as the two sisters from the Su family were both extraordinary beauties, and their playful interaction was a delightful sight. However, as he watched, he suddenly felt a burning gaze fixed upon him, prompting him to turn his head curiously, seeking the source of the gaze.

“Huh? Why are you looking at me like that, Sister Rose? Your face is so red,” he asked.

“Huh? Ah! It’s nothing, just a bit warm..,” she replied.

At the same time, within the City Lord’s Mansion, Wu Hongfei was hosting a banquet of the highest standard, worried about showing any disrespect to the saint and potentially losing his position as the City Lord. Since taking up the position, he had been able to pocket millions of spirit stones each year, and he was keen on keeping this lucrative post.

After making all the necessary arrangements, he gazed at the silent saint sitting at the head of the table and cautiously asked, “May I inquire, Saintess, what brings you to this place?”

Yan Linglong looked at Wu Hongfei, the lord of White Emperor City, who treated her with great respect. Inwardly, she sighed. She appeared imposing and regal at the moment, but no one knew that she had secretly escaped. Time was becoming increasingly limited, and she didn’t have much time left.

With this in mind, she couldn’t help but wave her long sleeves and began to speak to Wu Hongfei.

“This time, I’ve come to White Emperor City for the Ancient Flame Domain.”@@novelbin@@
