Chapter 2801:- Guests With Hidden Intentions (1)
"Duan Qi? Who is she?" Jun Wu Xie looked at Jun Wu Yao with some doubts.
Jun Wu Yao sneered, "She is an elder of the Sacred Maiden Tribe, and she holds a high status within the Upper Realm and the Sacred Maiden Tribe. However, the Sacred Maiden Tribe rarely comes into contact with others, but this time they are playing mediator for the 72 cities. This is interesting."
"Sacred Maiden Tribe." Jun Wu Xie frowned slightly. There were also several Sacred Maidens whom she had come into contact with, and except for Han Zi Fei, the rest of them did not give a good impression. Wasn't Luo Qingcheng a part of the Sacred Maiden Tribe?
Thinking of Han Zi Fei, Jun Wu Xie's heart suddenly started to pound.
Han Zi Fei left suddenly, she didn't even bid them farewell.
"I don't know where Zi Fei went." Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
Jun Wu Yao's eyes flickered a little, but he said nothing.
"If that Duan Qi is as you said, why will they want to be the mediators for the 72 cities?" Jun Wu Xie asked, wanting to know the reason.
"I'm also a little curious about this." Jun Wu Yao said, "I haven't had much contact with the Sacred Maiden Tribe. In general, they are not easy to get along with. Their thinking is very stubborn and extremely xenophobic. With her arrival this time, I am afraid it won't be that simple. I think the reason why she agreed to be the mediator has something to do with you."
"Oh?" Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow slightly. "Related to me?"
Jun Wu Yao chuckled a little as he looked at the look of ignorance on Jun Wu Xie's face. He couldn't help but laugh as Jun Wu Xie was always shockingly calm in the face of tremendous obstacles. When it came to something she didn't understand, she would always be very honest and straightforward about clarifying the issue. Everytime Jun Wu Yao saw that expression on her face, he couldn't help but want to pinch that cute little face.
It was only at this moment that she seemed so loveable.
"A dual Spirit Rings exponent is unique in the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm has always cherished strength and power. The strongest dual Spirit Rings possessor is only that one person, and now that you've suddenly appeared? How can they not pay attention? Furthermore, although the Sacred MaidenTribe do not like to be in contact with others, there is one thing which forces them to have contact with the outside world."
"Which is?" At that moment, Jun Wu Xie was like a child filled with curiosity, she was staring at Jun Wu Yao with a pair of wide eyes, with questions floating in them. It melted Jun Wu Yao's heart and he wanted to tell her everything.
"While the Sacred Maiden Tribe are all women, they also need to continue their bloodline, so they will look for outstanding men from the Three Realms to procreate with. If they give birth to a boy, the boy will be left with the man to be cared for. If they give birth to a girl, she will be raised among the Sacred Maidens. In order to keep their bloodline strong, they will only choose the most outstanding men to conceive the next generation. As far as I know, the top ten masters are their main targets. Now, you are a girl but your outward appearance is that of a man, and and you've successfully subdued the top ten exponents, of course the Sacred Maiden Tribe is tempted to meet you."
Jun Wu Xie was a little surprised at Jun Wu Yao's words.
"You mean, Duan Qi wants me and a woman from the Sacred Maiden Tribe to... " Jun Wu Xie was speechless for a while.
Jun Wu Yao smiled and nodded: "If I guess correctly, it should be so."
"..." Jun Wu Xie was incredulous as she thought of the Sacred Maiden Tribe was mostly made up of women like Luo Qingcheng, and she really did not have any good feeling towards the tribe.
"Well, it's nothing but our conjecture at this point. Everything will be unknown until after that Duan Qi arrives." Jun Wu Yao watched as Jun Wu Xie's brow wrinkled lightly, and he reached out to hug her in his arms and whispered softly.

Chapter 2802:- Guests With Hidden Intentions (2)
Within the next few days, a group of people came to the Sea Spirit City.
The entire group consisted of women dressed in pure white, and they all were beautiful in appearance. They looked like they were all about twenty years old but their actual age was inestimable.
Duan Qi rode a white horse in front of the group. Several women of the Sacred Maiden Tribe followed behind her. The women who came with her from the Sacred Mountain were staying in White Night City before, and this time, she brought them all with her to Sea Spirit City.
Jun Wu Xie had already given an order to the members of the Night Regime to allow the group passage into the city.
Walking along the streets of Sea Spirit City, the women of the Sacred Maiden Tribe slightly lifted their chins, as if they were born with a sense of nobility and arrogance, their eyes sweeping past the streets of Sea Spirit City.
"This is Sea Spirit City? Elder Duan, the owner of this Sea Spirit City, is the dual Spirit Rings exponent?" A gorgeous-looking woman frowned slightly as she glanced around Sea Spirit City with a trace of disgust in her eyes.
Compared with the vast White Night City, Sea Spirit City was much smaller, though it was neater. However, the women who stayed for a period of time in White Night City were somewhat disgusted.
Such a remote and barren city could really breed such a strong dual Spirit Ring exponent?
Duan Qi said coldly, "According to the information given by Bai Zhu, it should be correct."
"But originally, only fishermen lived in this Sea Spirit City. I don't believe that they would have such a strong person here." The beautiful woman couldn't help but whispered, "What kind of exponent is he? He's just an incompetent fool! He knows that Elder Duan is arriving today but yet he did not send anyone to greet her. That is so rude."
Because of its special status in the Upper Realm, the 72 cities couldn't be compared to the Sacred Maiden Tribe. Therefore, no matter which member of the Sacred Maiden Tribe visited any one of the 72 cities, even if the city lord didn't go out to greet them, the city lord would have arranged a greeting party.
Unlike this Sea Spirit City...
Since entering the city till now, apart from the guards and citizens on the streets, they hadn't seen anyone else come out to greet them.
The lack of 'proper' treatment made the Sacred Maidens quite uncomfortable, as they were used to otherwise.
They were accustomed to being treated like the world revolved around them, and they had thought that upon arriving at Sea Spirit City, they would be greeted by the city lord, but... there were no arrangements made, as if they were regular travellers to the city.
"Han Shu." Duan Qi halted suddenly in her steps.
The woman who had been complaining suddenly lost her voice and looked respectfully at Duan Qi.
"Mind your words and action. Did you forget what I have spoken to you before? If you have so many complaints, you don't have to follow us." Duan Qi frowned.
Han Shu quickly shook her head and said, "Elder Duan, it is Han Shu who has misspoken. But Han Shu is just embarrassed on Elder Duan's behalf. I was just thinking of the courtesy City Lord Bai accorded to Elder Duan with White Night City being the top city among the 72 cities. In contrast, this small Sea Spirit City which is dependent on its dual Spirit Rings exponent, has neglected Elder Duan, they really don't know the proper etiquette. "
Duan Qi's brow creased even deeper. Although she didn't show any outward expression, it was obvious that the "welcoming" of Sea Spirit City had made her somewhat dissatisfied.
"I know what your thoughts are. Although Bai Zhu is good, he is not suitable for you." Duan Qi maintained her calm and responded faintly.

Chapter 2803:- Guests With Hidden Intentions (3)
Han Shu's face froze slightly and she looked away, unable to speak further.
Duan Qi glanced at her without saying anything more and headed towards the official residence.
Although Han Shu was told off by Duan Qi, it was not difficult to see that she was second in command to Duan Qi, no other ladies would dare to say she was not.
Outside the City Lord's manor, Han Shu went to announce their arrival. Ye Sha, who had been waiting for a long time, acted as if he had just heard their announcement, and slowly opened the door to welcome the ladies in.
After entering the City Lord's manor, Duan Qi didn't have any outward reaction as she stood coldly in the front of the group, unlike Han Shu and the rest of the women who glanced at every little thing in the residence with faint scorn in their eyes.
Compared with the magnificence of White Night City Lord's manor, Sea Spirit City Lord's manor could only be described as unpresentable.
"Please sit down for a while, our City Lord will come soon." Ye Sha said.
Duan Qi and others took their seats. Han Shu was quite dissatisfied with Sea Spirit City previously, and now she was even more unhappy.
"Your City Lord wants us to continue to wait? Does he not know that we are here? Is this how you treat guests in Sea Spirit City?" Han Shu frowned.
This time, Duan Qi did not stop Han Shu from questioning.
Ye Sha smiled and said, "The City Lord has been delayed by some things, and I kindly ask you to wait a moment. Men, serve tea."
Several members of the Night Regime were dressed as servants and presented warm tea.
Han Shu just sniffed it and slammed the tea cup onto the table, causing splatters on the table.
"What kind of lousy tea is this? Can this tea be drunk by humans? "
Ye Sha just stood aside with a smiling face. However, no one noticed the chill that flashed through his eyes.
"Forget it, this tea can't be drunk at all. A small city is after all a small city. Nothing good can be presented." Han Shu frowned.
The members of the Night Regime listened to Han Shu's unceremonious words, and one by one, they were filled with anger.
Where did these girls pop out from? Since entering the residence, everything was not to their liking. Since they didn't want to be at Sea Spirit City, then why come here?
The members of the Night Regime were thoroughly vexed by these unreasonable and troublesome women. If it weren't for the fact that they needed to continue the act, they would not want to serve these people tea.
However, Han Shu and others didn't notice the disgust in the eyes of the Night Regime at all. Instead, they read another meaning in those eyes.
"Oh, a bunch of idiots." Han Shu acted as if she was high and mighty as she flipped her hair, completely mistaking the disgust in the eyes of the Night Regime as admiration for herself.
Based on appearance alone, Han Shu was very outstanding, and was no way inferior to Gu Xinyan, coupled with the identity of being a Sacred Maiden, it had accumulated into arrogance for her.
However, they hardly realised that ...
As far as her looks were concerned, even if she were to stand naked in front of the Night Regime, they couldn't be bothered to even look at her. Compared with Jun Wu Xie's glorious appearance, Han Shu was simply an ugly monster, and she was entirely not self aware.
"When do we have to wait until?" Another Sacred Maiden asked with much impatience, as they had never been treated so flippantly.
Duan Qi also frowned slightly, apparently a little displeased.
At this moment, a thin figure suddenly appeared in the lobby of the City Lord's manor, and for a moment, it attracted everyone's attention ...

Chapter 2804:- Guests With Hidden Intentions (4)
Jun Wu Xie walked slowly into the hall, there was no enthusiasm on her cold face as she walked to the main seat and sat down. She nodded slightly to acknowledge Duan Qi and the other ladies but didn't say much else.
The Sacred Maidens immediately looked at Jun Wu Xie who remained seated, every pair of eyes looked at her from top to toe in a seemingly impolite manner.
Han Shu, in particular, scoured every inch of Jun Wu Xie. After glancing back and forth a few times, she secretly sneered.
It was just a little brat who hadn't grown up yet.
Duan Qi's opinion was different from those women. She had also observed Jun Wu Xie, but she was less concerned with her appearance. Based on appearance, 'Yan Hai's' looks could not be compared to the handsomeness of Bai Zhu; as he was still young and not yet matured with a teenager's posture.
But all these did not dispel Duan Qi's attention to Jun Wu Xie.
Because what she really cared about was not Jun Wu Xie's appearance but her strength!
The strength of dual Spirit Rings!
"This is Yan Hai, City Lord Yan right?" Duan Qi spoke first, which she hardly did.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly, "Yes, I am."
"I am Duan Qi, the Elder of the Sacred Maiden Tribe. I have been tasked by Bai Zhu, the Lord of White Night City, to come and mediate. I understand that previously there was a misunderstanding between White Night City and other cities against City Lord Yan. They are extremely regretful of the altercation and are willing to accede to any request in order to appease City Lord Yan's unhappiness. They ask that City Lord Yan be magnanimous and they are most willing to bow before you." Duan Qi said in a calm manner without a trace of sternness in her tone.
"Oh?" Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Duan Qi but saying nothing.
Jun Wu Xie's response caused a bit of confusion in Duan Qi. Jun Wu Xie looked very young and his experience should be insufficient. At this age, in the Upper Realm, one would not have had much success, but instead, she was actually the only bearer of dual Spirit Rings. Which was very difficult to understand.
Before coming to Sea Spirit City, Bai Zhu had also told Duan Qi about the fast rise of Sea Spirit City.
It was probably due to the extraordinary formula which Sea Spirit City possessed that created such a special elixir, which not only increased the strength of the entire city, but it was also most likely due to that elixir that Jun Wu Xie could possess dual Spirit Rings.
This was one of the reasons why Duan Qi was willing to come to Sea Spirit City.
With only that one formula, it is thus possible to train a dual Spirit Ring exponent, which was truly unheard of.
"City Lord Yan, please let me know what are your requirements, the City Lords of the 72 cities have promised that they will do whatever you say." Duan Qi said calmly; she wanted to see what kind of inclinations this capable teenager had.
"If they refuse, then it means I won't get what I want?" Jun Wu Xie said suddenly, the cold voice seemed to be mixed with ice.
Duan Qi froze slightly. The words were quite arrogant, but since these words came from Jun Wu Xie, then it was par for course.
With dual Spirit Rings, how could the 72 cities put up much resistance?
"So what does City Lord Yan mean?" Duan Qi continued to ask.
Jun Wu Xie supported her chin with one hand as she glanced at the Sacred Maidens. After a moment, she said lightly: "I don't care for their insincere words, and I am too lazy to fight with those pieces of trash. As long as they surrender and swear allegiance to me, I will not do anything."

Chapter 2805:- Rejection (1)
"To be so forgiving, City Lord Yan, it is really rare." Duan Qi was satisfied with Jun Wu Xie's answer. An exponent should have some confidence of his own.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes as she restrained the coldness in her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Since Elder Duan rarely visits Sea Spirit City, why not stay here for a few days?"
Jun Wu Xie's suggestion was exactly what Duan Qi wanted, and Duan Qi agreed without saying much more.
Duan Qi's temperament was solemn, grave and rigid, while Jun Wu Xie was indifferent, therefore between the two, there was nothing much to converse. Very soon, Jun Wu Xie had asked the members of the Night Regime to arrange a place for this group of Sacred Maidens, while she left to hibernate.
After Duan Qi and others arrived at their assigned residence, they spent some moments sprucing it up. The accommodation arranged by the Night Regime was quiet and secluded. Duan Qi didn't have much to say about it. But when Han Shu and others saw their rooms, their faces immediately turned down.
"Elder Duan, do we really have to stay here?" Han Shu asked, her face an unhealthy green colour. Although the accommodation arranged by the Night Regime was tidy and clean, compared to the accommodation they stayed in White Night city, it looked shabby. As they were already accustomed to the luxuriousness of White Night City, Han Shu and the other women were quite displeased with Jun Wu Xie's arrangements.
"I think Yan Hai's temperament is very strange. Although he had promised that he would forgive them, but the way he said it seemed otherwise. Also, he has no respect for Elder Duan! He arranged such a worn out place for Elder Duan to stay in!" Han Shu waved her hands in disgust. There was no beautiful scenery full of flowers and no flourish decorations. Everything here felt shabby to Han Shu.
As far as the first impression was concerned, Han Shu's impression of Jun Wu Xie was extremely bad.
Except for the strength of the dual Spirit Rings, she could not find any positive aspects of Jun Wu Xie at all.
His appearance could only be considered as average, and his build was small and short, how strong would a person be then?
After seeing Jun Wu Xie, Han Shu began to miss her days spent in White Night City.
Duan Qi lifted her eyes as she swept her gaze past a very dissatisfied Han Shu, she frowned slightly but didn't assign blame. She looked around the surroundings of the elegant and large house. Although this residence was not luxurious, it was still clean and large. The beds looked simple but the materials used were good.
All of these, Duan Qi could see clearly. But Han Shu and the others, with their limited experience, could not understand.
"You seem to be very dissatisfied with Yan Hai?" Duan Qi looked at Han Shu.
Han Shu pursed her lips, glanced away and muttered, "It's not that I have any dissatisfaction, but that Yan Hai's approach is problematic. Although we are here to be mediators for the 72 cities, in the Upper Realm, there is no one who wouldn't give our Sacred Maiden Tribe some face. But this Yan Hai however, not only didn't send any men to greet and welcome us, when he met with us, he displayed such eccentric behaviours. He has no manners in hospitality."
As she was speaking, Han Shu's gaze swept around the house and past the courtyard, and resignedly said, "Then there is still this accommodation, even if their Sea Spirit City is poor, they still didn't have to give us such a shabby place to stay in, right?"
Han Shu, no matter which way she looked at it, felt that Sea Spirit City and Jun Wu Xie were not pleasing to her eyes. Her resistance was noticed by Duan Qi, and she couldn't help but feel helpless.
The reason why Han Shu would reject Jun Wu Xie like this was due to Bai Zhu....

Chapter 2806:- Rejection (2)
"Han Shu, you should know what you need to do, do you want me to remind you again?" Duan Qi frowned slightly, her tone becoming harsh.
Han Shu, who had been nit-picking before, trembled. She knelt in front of Duan Qi immediately, her heart was tense. These couple of days, Duan Qi had been slightly relaxed with her and that made her think that she could say anything she wanted. But she had forgotten that under Duan Qi's arrangement, she could not simply voice her dissatisfaction as she pleased.
"Elder Duan please forgive me ..." Han Shu said with a shaking voice.
Duan Qi snorted and looked at Han Xu who was kneeling in front of her, "Thousands of years ago, your sister abandoned the Sacred Maiden Tribe and fled the Upper Realm. How much damage did she bring to the Sacred Maiden Tribe? Unless another Luo Qingcheng emerges in the tribe, you should know how His Lord would blame all of us. But now, Luo Qingcheng's fate is uncertain, our Sacred Maiden Tribe has continuously made some mistakes in front of His Lord. is uncertain about life and death, my Sacred Maiden Tribe has made mistakes in front of the Lord. Since you were a child, your innate talent was average, and you can't be compared to your sister Han Zi Fei. You also can't be compared to Luo Qingcheng. The only thing you can depend on is the bloodline flowing through your veins. That's why, this time I've brought you from the Holy Mountain, to find you a suitable match in order to give birth to the next Sacred Maiden. Do you think that with the current situation, you still have the right to be choosy? If within the next hundred years, you are unable to breed a pureblooded Sacred Maiden, the status of the Sacred Maiden Tribe in the eyes of His Lord will decrease greatly. If you continue to be so foolish, then you are dooming the entire Sacred Maiden Tribe."
Duan Qi was angered and thus ranted at Han Shu. The other women from the tribe knelt on the ground, their expressions were strange.
The status of the Sacred Maiden Tribe in the Upper Realm was noble, but this was based on the premise that they had a pureblooded Sacred Maiden.
And for a pureblooded Sacred Maiden to appear among people was rare. In the thousands of years of history of the Sacred Maiden Tribe, there had only been three pureblooded Sacred Maidens. And because of their existence, it gave the Sacred Maiden Tribe the status they possessed today.
But...
After the deaths of the first two Sacred Maidens, the Sacred Maiden Tribe had hoped for a new pureblood Sacred Maiden for thousands of years and they finally had one. But that Sacred Maiden chose to abandon the tribe, and fled from His Lord's side. This put the Sacred Maiden Tribe between a rock and a hard place. After that, the tribe barely managed to purify their bloodline. The talented Luo Qingcheng managed to gain a foothold in the Upper Realm, but Luo Qingcheng had left for the Lower Realm not too long ago and her fate was still unknown.
One step forward, two steps back. The Sacred Maiden Tribe could barely get a pureblooded Sacred Maiden. And if they continue in this manner, the tribe will soon lose their noble status.
This was unacceptable to Duan Qi, so when Gu Ying sent an invitation to Duan Qi, Duan Qi acquiesced to all of this. The Sacred Maiden Tribe needed fresh bloodlines, and the women who were of childbearing age were brought along with her to Sea Spirit City. Their sole purpose was to find outstanding men in the Upper Realm to conceive a new batch of children in order to find the next Sacred Maiden.

Chapter 2807:- Rejection (3)
"Elder Duan, please be appeased. Han Shu is wrong. But... hasn't Han Zi Fei returned to the Holy Mountain? If Elder Duan wanted to conceive a Sacred Maiden, would it not be better to use Han Zi Fei as the base? Although Han Shu's head was lowered, and she sounded docile and obedient, her heart was very unwilling.
Hearing Han Shu mentioned Han Zi Fei, Duan Qi's brow wrinkled further.
"Han Zi Fei has entered into a marriage contract with the Knight of Destruction and she will be married one month later. The Lord has personally arranged for this marriage, and even if she had a child, the child will not belong to our Sacred Maiden Tribe."
Han Shu pursed her lips and didn't dare say anything further.
"I know what you are thinking, but you must understand that regardless if it's Bai Zhu or Yan Hai, they are just tools we use to conceive a new Sacred Maiden. Once you are pregnant, you will not be able to meet them any longer. So, you best stop whatever you are thinking." Duan Qi glanced at Han Shu, a clear warning in her tone.
While she was at White Night city, Han Shu had already fallen for Bai Zhu. All she could think about was the glorious wealth of White Night City, and Bai Zhu's warm and radiant smile. How could she even like Sea Spirit City?
But Duan Qi's warning was already stuck in her head. Even if she did not want to, she would never dare to disobey Duan Qi's order.
"I understand,I am willing to abide by Elder Duan's arrangements." Han Shu muttered.
"Fine, as long as you understand the seriousness of this matter, that's enough. Now, go take your rest. Tomorrow I will meet with City Lord Yan to discuss your affairs." Duan Qi waved her hand to dismiss the women.
Han Shu and others did not dare to speak further, and they retreated silently.
But Duan Qi didn't pay any further attention to them. After the women's conversation was over, a black shadow quietly ran out from their home. The black shadow moved at great speed, as it left the accommodation and headed straight for the city's official residence. And in the blink of an eye, the black shadow had already arrived in the backyard of the city's official residence.
In the backyard, Jun Wu Xie was sitting in the gazebo, and Jun Wu Yao, Hua Yao and the others were sitting beside her, seemingly waiting for something.
The dark shadow quickly fell in front of Jun Wu Xie and whispered: "Miss, Lord Jue."
"So?" Jun Wu Xie looked up slightly and looked at Ye Gu who was kneeling in front of her.
Early on, when she asked the men to arrange for accommodation for Duan Qi and the other women, she also secretly sent Ye Gu to their residence. Ye Gu was the strongest among the Night Regime. Within the Upper Realm, there were very few people who could detect his presence. Although the mental prowess of the Sacred Maiden Tribe was strong, their spiritual power was very weak, and therefore it was impossible for them to detect the presence of Ye Gu.
"This aligns with Lord Jue's earlier assessment. Duan Qi really wants Miss and one of the women from the Sacred Maiden Tribe to conceive the next generation. And the lady in question is the one who has been chattering non-stop." Ye Gu frowned.
Upon hearing Ye Gu's words, Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but look at Jun Wu Yao and she found Jun Wu Yao looking at her with a "I am right" look. Jun Wu Xie turned back to Ye Gu, and said, "Anything else besides that?"
Ye Gu hesitated for a moment, and after glancing at Jun Wu Yao, he continued: "Besides that, Duan Qi also mentioned Senior Han Zi Fei. She has a marriage contract with one of the Knights of Destruction which is ordered by the Lord. "
.

Chapter 2808:- Beginning of Chaos (1)
"What? Jun Wu Xie was stunned.
"I am not sure either. I only heard them saying that Han Zi Fei has returned to the Holy Mountain. But I am not sure if Han Zi Fei is a senior.." Ye Gu said.
Jun Wu Xie's heart thumped a little. Han Zi Fei didn't say her full name to them. She only said that she was Zi Fei. She was also from The Sacred Maiden Tribe. Ye Gu happened to hear it when he and Zi Fei left. The time was basically the same.
Jun Wu Xie immediately turned to look at Jun Wu Yao. When Han Zi Fei left, the only one who had seen her was Jun Wu Yao.
"It should be her." Jun Wu Yao knew exactly what Jun Wu Xie wanted to ask.
"Why did she go back?" Jun Wu Xie looked at Jun Wu Yao inexorably. At that time, Han Zi Fei had exhausted much energy before escaping from the Upper Realm. She hid for thousands of years. After living an easy life, why did she jump back into the fire pit?
Jun Wu Yao lowered his eyes and did not look back at Jun Wu Xie's gaze. He said lightly: "She goes back and naturally she has what she needs to do."
Jun Wu Xie's brow frowned, but she couldn't calm down.
This was the first time that Han Zi Fei had heard the news after she left. But she did not want to appear abruptly and so shocking. At the same time, another news story had sought Jun Wu Xie's attention .
That was Han Zi Fei's marriage.
"Knight of Destruction ..." Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly. These four words were extremely sensitive to her. Jun Gu was now one of the knights of destruction. But no one knew which one Duan Qi was referring to...
"Which Knight of Destruction is it?" Jun Wu Xie asked Ye Gu.
Ye Gu shook his head.
"Duan Qi didn't say, the subordinate didn't know either."
"Little Xie, aren't you worried, the Senior Zi Fei's marriage partner is ... your father?" Qiao Chu on the side listened for a long time, and finally understood what happened.
And now it made sense and confused people at the same time.
Han Zi Fei suddenly returned back to The Sacred Maiden Tribe and she was about to marry one of the Knights of Destruction. Jun Wu Xie's father was arrested by the damn Lord to brainwash him to become one of the Knights of Destruction. If it was the same person ... ... Qiao Chu couldn't imagine how much headache this thing would cause.
Jun Wu Xie didn't say anything. Hua Yao looked at Qiao Chu from the sides with a slight frown and in them was a trace of blame.
They had thought about this problem. But no one dared to talk about it.
Han Zi Fei was friends with them. She was their most respected predecessor. She was also very gentle towards them. But Jun Gu was Jun Wu Xie's father ...
If they really ran into each other, it would put Jun Wu Xie in a difficult position.
What Jun Wu Xie wanted was to rescue Jun Gu. If someone else was next to Jun Gu, she could kill him. Now it's not anyone else but Han Zi Fei. Jun Wu Xie couldn't make this move.
Moreover, Han Zi Fei's reason for returning to The Sacred Maiden Tribe was unknown. If she threatens Jun Wu Xie, he will go to the rescue. But ...These two things had never happened before and it was really unexpected.
"For the time being, Duan Qi will definitely come to look for you these days. If you want to know the exact information, just try to ask her." Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie a little bit unbearably. He knew her too well. At that moment, he could not say more with his worrying mind.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly, but her heart was complicated.

Chapter 2809:- Beginning of Chaos (2)
Jun Wu Xie's doubts didn't last for a long time. Next day morning, Duan Qi went over again.
"Can Aunt Duan still get used to it?" Jun Wu Xie sat on the main seat, feeling relaxed and easy.
Duan Qi didn't know if what she said yesterday had been heard by Jun Wu Xie. She sullenly said, "Everything is very good."
"That's good." Jun Wu Xie said calmly.
Duan Qi observed Jun Wu Xie. From the way Jun Wu Xie responded to the 72 cities, Duan Qi knew that this man was broad-minded and not narrow like the others. He was attacked by the 72 cities alliance yet there was no hatred at all. The indifference was not so much the tolerance of Jun Wu Xie. Or rather, from the beginning, he had not even taken the 72 cities as his opponents.
After all, with the strength of Jun Wu Xie, the 72 cities fight hard to battle. They still gained no benefit.
"I came to Sea Spirit City once, a thousand years ago. The Sea Spirit City then had blood everywhere and the entire city was filled with a disgusting stench. But after a thousand years later, it has changed completely. Soon after Lord Yan took over the Sea Spirit City, he's able to organize the entire city in such an orderly manner, which is rare." Duan Qi praised Jun Wu Xie while secretly watching Jun Wu Xie's reaction.
It's known that with Duan Qi's identity and status, it's only normal for the others to worship her rather than to please others. But her praise was insignificant that Jun Wu Xie remained calm. Duan Qi further admired Jun Wu Xie's calmness.
A true strong person should not only have powers but also a calm heart. According to Duan Qi's current observation, Jun Wu Xie did not humiliate her ability, and such a genius boy was what she needed.
"The 72 cities have now surrendered to Lord Yan. He has become the Lord of the 72 cities. For thousands of years, he is also the only one. It will not take long for the Lord to send an invitation to Lord Yan, and your future will be immense. I wonder what kind of person do you like? "Duan Qi asked tentatively.
If it was someone else, Duan Qi would remain proud and the other person would beg her just like how Bai Zhu tried means and ways to get into her good mood that time. Unfortunately the person wasn't Bai Zhu, it was the Dual Spirit Ring exponent after His Lord. Duan Qi had to be careful when sounding her intention.
"No." Jun Wu Xie said.
Duan Qi felt relieved and a smile finally appeared on her face.
"With Lord Yan's current status, there is no doubt that he can soon find a companion in future. A beautiful woman is easy to find. With Lord Yan's status, an ordinary woman is not good for you. Lord Yan needs to find someone who can help him to take it to the next level. "
Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows, knowing Duan Qi's intentions. But her expressions were not obvious at all. She said lightly: "If Aunt Duan has something to say, just say it."
"Great, then I will get straight to the point." Duan Qi laughed: "Although The Sacred Maiden Tribe is not the best, it has psychic force. The Sacred Maiden Tribe only consists of women. To conceive future generations, I can only entrust the virgins with the outstanding strong men. I wonder if Lord Yan is willing to marry one of my maidens?
.

Chapter 2810:- Beginning of Chaos (3)
Jun Wu Xie looked at Duan Qi, sneering in her heart. Her tone remained flat: "Oh? Marrying a maiden from The Sacred Maiden Tribe?"
Duan Qi nodded and said, "Yes, my maiden only invited the top exponents of the Upper Realm. It's His Lord's promise. In order to protect the stability of the Upper Realm, I would like to inform Lord Yan that most of the pure saints are matched with the most powerful people in the Upper Realm. The first and second saints are assigned to His Lord. Now the third saint is given to The Knight of Destruction. My intention to Sea Spirit City is to make peace with the 72 Cities. The other is to find a suitable partner for another maiden of our tribe. "
"Now, looking at the Upper Realm, there is no other capable person like Lord Yan. I can assure you that as long as you agree, Lord Yan can freely use the holy place on the Holy Mountain to cultivate, and that holy place is our forbidden land. The forbidden area of the tribe can only be cultivated in that place by the elders and sages. Although the holy place cannot improve spiritual power, it is unique for the improvement of spiritual power. Lord Yan's strength is already at its peak and the improvement of psychic force is one of the top powers that many yearn for. Our clan only asks for a baby girl born in the future, if it is a baby boy, Lord Yan can take him. We will never interfere." Duan Qi looked at Jun Wu Xie astutely. In fact, she concealed some of the conditions, such as the first three saints. Although she has been assigned to others, no matter whether there are boys or girls left, the saints have no right to intervene. But about Jun Wu Xie, Duan Qi wanted to hide it.
They need a new saint too much.
Jun Wu Xie calmly listened to Duan Qi's words. When Duan Qi mentioned The Knight of Destruction and the third saint, it's no doubt the person is Han Zi Fei!
Even though her heart was desperate for an answer, Jun Wu Xie still looked indifferent as if she did not have much interest.But she casually asked: "Oh? Allowed with a Knight of Destruction? I wonder who that knight is? "
Duan Qi didn't ponder and replied, "Of course it's the youngest, Lord Jun Gu."
Jun Wu Xie's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
It was really her father!!
However, Duan Qi did not notice the shock flashing through Jun Wu Xie's eyes. She continued rambling on by herself: "The following sentence is true, and after one month, Lord Jun Gu and my saint will marry on the Holy Mountain. If Lord Yan is keen, why don't you follow us back and attend the ceremony? Lord Jun Gu is amiable and gentle, if he meets a talented person like Lord Yan, I believe he will praise you in front of His Lord as he likes talents."
Jun Wu Xie forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart, but she calmed down quickly. She looked at Duan Qi who had thrown a bait a little, although there was a chill in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.
"Oh? Aunt Duan is kind."
"Contacting a strong man like Lord Yan is naturally good for making new friends. Lord Yan doesn't need to respond immediately. Think about it for a few days." Duan Qi pretended to be casual, she saw that Jun Wu Xie's did not show much interest. But she had a lot of interest in Jun Gu. She only thought that Jun Wu Xie wanted to climb up.
Jun Wu Xie said, "Since Aunt Duan has graciously invited, then I should attend."

Chapter 2811:- Beginning of Chaos (4)
Duan Qi was satisfied with the promise of Jun Wu Xie, even though she knew that Jun Wu Xie had promised to attend the ceremony instead of marrying one of the maidens. But Duan Qi knew very well, how could a teenager of this age resist beauty in the first place?
As long as Jun Wu Xie was willing to go to The Sacred Maiden Tribe. They had plenty of opportunities.
"Very good, now that Lord Yan has promised, it should be rather soon. I have to rush back to the Holy Mountain as soon as possible to prepare for the marriage. It is better to make a little preparation today, how about we set off tomorrow?" Duan Qi seized this chance to push it earlier.
"Alright." Jun Wuxie responded neatly.
Duan Qi got her answer and did not stay long. After exchanging a few more words with Jun Wu Xie, she immediately left.
After Duan Qi left, Qiao Chu and the others who had been listening in the back room slowly appeared. But for a while, everyone looked at Jun Wu Xie sitting in a chair silently. No one dared to mention anything.
Jun Wu Xie's father wants to marry Senior Zi Fei? What was that!?!
Obviously, this is the last thing they wanted to see. They had never expected such a coincidence.
"Well ... wasn't Senior Zi Fei captured by The Sacred Maiden Tribe when the Upper Realm was in turmoil?" Qiao Chu murmured out.
"I think it's possible that Senior Zi Fei may be forced to helplessness, just like Uncle Jun Gu. Both are controlled by people in the Upper Realm. If this is the case, Little Xie must go to the Holy Mountain this time. He can save Uncle Jun Gu and Senior Zi Fei. Wouldn't it be better? "Fan Zhuo immediately intervened and gave a thumbs up to Qiao Chu.
This guy was clever at times!
"This possibility is very high. Little Xie, if you are going to the Holy Mountain, you need to be prepared. If you choose to rescue Uncle Jun Gu and Senior Zi Fei, your identity as the City Lord of the Sea Spirit City may be disclosed. If you want to get closer to His Lord, I'm afraid you have to make another plan." Rong Ruo looked at Jun Wu Xie and said. The whole world knew that Jun Wu Xie had brought forth the Sea Spirit City, and caused such a big turmoil in order to approach His Lord and find the whereabouts of Jun Gu.
And this motive has been achieved. It was just that the person who brought Jun Gu to Jun Wu Xie, was not Hi Lord, but Duan Qi. Although the process was different, the results were the same.
Just that...
Rong Ruo looked at Jun Wu Yao again, and could not help but sigh.
Jun Wu Xie's plan was not only to save Jun Gu, but also for Jun Wu Yao's life and death worm, and to stop the sacrifice of theThree Realms ... But once Jun Gu was rescued, Jun Wu Xie's current situation would be all in vain, she can only start all over again.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Rong Ruo had already thought of everything she said. She must go to the Holy Mountain, she too must save them!
"You prepare in advance. Duan Qi said that there should not be too many people going to the Holy Mountain. You, Wu Yao, Ye Sha and Ye Mei are to go. Ye Gu is to remain in Sea Spirit City. Let him first prepare some ships outside Sea Spirit City. Once there is any abnormality, all the members board the ship and leave the place temporarily, and sail to the remote island to gather. "Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes and explained the plan in her heart.
Everything needed to be done step by step. She did not intend to give up on anyone. It all depends on how she can achieve both!
After getting the words of Jun Wu Xie, everyone headed off separately to prepare.
.

Chapter 2812:- Beginning of Chaos (5)
One day later, Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao were ready to go. Before leaving, they took Zheng Weilong and Ah Da together with them.
In the entire Sea Spirit City, there were only the troops of the Night Regime and the Ghost Army. In this way, if they retreat, they would not be noticed by anyone.
Jun Wu Xie prepared several carriages.Those for the maidens were divided into three carriages. Several carriages traveled from outside the Sea Spirit City. The opened door of the Sea Spirit City was slowly closing. Zheng Weilong looked through the window. At a glance, something vaguely felt that it was quietly proceeding.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Ah Da asked, looking upset at Zheng Weilong's face.
Zheng Weilong shook her head. "I don't know what happened, I feel a little flustered."
In the past few days, Jun Wu Xie rarely recruited her. It was not until yesterday night that she was sent to inform her about her trip today. Zheng Weilong was a little puzzled about going to the holy mountain with Jun Wu Xie. It was rather logical that Jun Wu Xie need not take her along at all.
"Lady, are you worried about the maiden thing?" Ah Da asked tentatively.
Zheng Weilong smiled bitterly: "What can I worry about? The target of The Sacred Maiden Tribe is the City Lord, and we are just foils."
Ah Da looked at Zheng Weilong thoughtfully.
In another carriage, Duan Qi was sullen with a face. She looked at the three maiden of The Sacred Maiden Tribe who were sitting in the same carriage with her. One of them was Han Shu.
"This time, invited Yan Hai to the Holy Mountain, you should be very clear on my intention. No matter what method you use, you have to conquer him before he leaves the Holy Mountain, otherwise you will be locked up and age alone. The cellar is lonely and old, do you understand? "Duan Qi looked at the three women coldly.
These three people, including Han Shu, were the most likely women of the maidens to give birth to a saint. As long as one of the three of them could get him, Duan Qi was convinced that they could birth the next saint.
"Yes." All three women nodded honestly and darde not have any objections.
But Han Shu's lowered face was hung with unwillingness.
"This matter affects the prosperity of our Sacred Maiden Tribe. You must not relax at all. If it can be done, I will ask other elders to help you ask for the name of the Son. It depends on your ability." Duan Qi said.
As soon as Duan Qi said this, Han Yan couldn't help raising her head and looked at Duan Qi excitedly.
Son, that is the position just below the elders and maidens in Sacred Maiden Tribe!
There were only a handful of saints in the entire Sacred Maiden Tribe. They were women who have made outstanding contributions to the tribe, or heroes who have bred pure blood saints. Although they do not have the power of the elders and the nobility of the maiden, It had a higher status and preferential treatment than other women. The people would salute when they see the Son, but it was of extremely high treatment.
Even the Holy Land could be entered occasionally. For those like Han Shu, who had no luck with being a saint, this would be their lifelong pursuit.
"Elder Duan, rest assured! I will wait and do my best, and I will never disappoint Elder Duan's expectations!" Han Yan's unwavering loyalty, her eyes faintly burned with a flame of greed.
But it's just a small lad, it's for the position of the Holy Son, she has to fight!
Duan Qi glanced at the three of them and nodded with satisfaction.

Chapter 2813:- Holy Mountain (1)
Above the Holy Mountain, the clouds were misty, the clear water was a deep blue and the top of the mountain was capped with snow.
The Holy Mountain was the highest peak in the Upper Realm. The green grass at the bottom of the mountain was crisp. It was spring all year round with the white flowers blooming all over the mountain. The higher it was, the lower the temperature. There was only one way to the top of the snow capped mountain. There were a number of elite soldiers in black armor stationed at the foot of the mountain all year round. The armies from the 72 cities were not their match.
This army belonged directly to the sole ruler of the Upper Realm. It was a team of guardian soldiers specifically sent to safeguard the safety of the maidens.
The Sacred Maiden Tribe held a high status in the Upper Realm. All previous maidens had been valued by His Lord. Its powerful psychic force was beyond the reach of many powerful men. Only the maidens could possess the powerful psychic force but their spirit energy was a different story. With years of isolation from the world, the Sacred Maiden Tribe was in an embarrassing state. In the Sacred Maiden Tribe, there had never been a one who possessed a strong spirit energy. This was why this team of elite soldiers was sent to guard the maidens.
From this, we could see the importance of the Sacred Maiden Tribe to His Lord.
Before stepping onto the Holy Mountain, permissions were needed from the Sacred Maiden Tribe. Even the elite soldiers who were stationed at the foot of the mountain were not allowed a step into the Holy Mountain!
On the snow-capped Holy Mountain, those pure white buildings were elegant and delicate. This was a place dedicated to the residence of the maidens. There had been rumors that the bricks and stones used by the maidens to build their houses were the finest white spirit stones. These white spirit stones were valuable even in the Upper Realm. If they were owned by ordinary people, they may never see it once in a lifetime. A thousand years ago, the first city, the White Night City spent a lot of money to buy a piece of large white slab stone.
It was said that white spirit stones had a strong effect on improving and enhancing psychic force. Even if the maidens had not gone through any cultivation at all, and the strength of psychic force could be counted as middle class force in the Upper Realm. But if it were to be compared upwards, there were still racial characteristics limitations. So far, only few people could feel the state of condense spirit inscriptions.
The Sacred Maiden Tribe sacrificed spiritual energy cultivation and specialized in psychic force. This had given them a special status. Therefore, the Sacred Maiden Tribe had been adhering to this tradition for thousands of years.
The Holy Mountain was a place that many strong men look forward to. Every master with strong spiritual power yearned to cultivate his spiritual strength in the Holy Mountain. However, many could only remain at the foot of the mountain staring at the peaks covered by clouds.
Now, a team of carriages had arrived at the foot of the Holy Mountain. The only route to the mountains was heavily guarded by the team elite soldiers which they would not easily release any pass through. After taking the token, The elite soldiers could only release them after a maiden from the first horse carriage had collected the authority token.
Duan Qi got up from the carriage, looked up at the top of the Holy Mountain. She turned to look at the carriages behind her and secretly glared at Han Shu and others who were standing beside her.
Han Shu immediately understood what Duan Qi meant. She joyfully walked towards the carriage where Jun Wu Xie was riding. She whispered softly in front of the carriage: "Lord Yan, we have reached the foot of the Holy Mountain. The Holy Mountain is steep and the carriage impassable. Lord Yan, please alight, we will need to continue the rest of the journey by foot. "
.
.
.
Chapter 2814:- Holy Mountain (2)
After Han Shu reported, she secretly observed the closed carriage.
From the Sea Spirit City to the Holy Mountain, the journey took almost half a month. In order to reach the Holy Mountain as soon as possible, they hardly made any stops along the way. They slept in the carriage at night and continued on their journey. Fortunately, Sea Spirit City had arranged extremely spacious and comfortable carriages that didn't toss them around too much. Even though it was comfortable, it was still a torturing journey for maidens such as Han Shu who was weaker in spirit energy.
The soreness on her body could no longer be described. What made Han Shu feel like vomiting blood was that she had made all preparations before departure and she had no chance to win over the City Lord of Sea Spirit City. Rushing throughout the journey, there was no chance to get near Jun Wu Xie. She only saw her a few times.
Every time Han Shu saw Jun Wu Xie's figure, Jun Wu Xie returned to the carriage before she had time to take action. Han Shu was annoyed and angered.
Han Shu was beautiful. Although she was not a saint, she was also a half-sister to the third saint and often follows Duan Qi when she went out. It could be said that with her looks and her identity of the holy maiden, no matter where Han Shu went, she was the focus of much attention. A large number of men would rush to please her.
Even in the White Night City, Bai Zhu spoke to her politely. But Jun Wu Xie had tore down Han Shu's confidence.
After seeing Jun Wu Xie for the first time, it seemed that Jun Wu Xie hadn't looked at her even once. This made Han Shu very frustrated.
Because of the relationship between Bai Zhu and Han Shu previously, she was too lazy to talk with Jun Wu Xie. But now, Duan Qi tempted Han Shu with such an offer and it was up to Han Shu to achieve it. In the end....
Han Shu glared at the carriage that hadn't responded for a long time, and there was gloom in her eyes.
A moment later, a slightly indifferent voice came from the carriage.
"Got it."
Subsequently, the carriage door was opened. Jun Wu Xie, dressed in a goose yellow robes, slowly walked down from the carriage. As she landed on the ground, her eyes naturally passed over and stood in front of her, trying to maintain a sweet smile. Han Shu looked at the tall peak in front of her.
"This is the Holy Mountain?" Qiao Chu and others also got out of the carriage, looking at the majestic peak before them that hid into the clouds.
The Sacred Maiden Tribe was different from the entire Upper Realm. Each maiden was very valuable to the tribe. In addition, they had already abandoned spirit energy cultivation. Therefore, every baby girl born in the Sacred Maiden Tribe did not have to experience the suffering of the stimulating spirit energy.
In certain sense, it could be considered a blessing.
"Why are these soldiers here?" Fan Zhuo's eyes fell on the elite soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
"These are the warriors sent by His Lord to guard the maidens." Duan Qi said, her slightly raised chin and clear tone were all showing her pride.
Seeing Duan Qi's appearance, Qiao Chu could not help but purse his lips.
In addition to being polite to Little Xie, this old wicked woman was so hateful that he couldn't wait to use his chin to face her and send her arrogance flying!
Jun Wu Xie stood at the foot of the Holy Mountain and looked at the majestic peak in the clouds, but in her heart, her mood had already turned sombre and serious.
.

.
Chapter 2815:- Holy Mountain (3)
Senior Zi Fei and her father ... They were right at the peak.
"Lord Yan." A soft voice suddenly sounded in Jun Wu Xie's ears.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her gaze as Han Shu appeared by her side. She looked at Jun Wu Xie with a sweet smile and pinched her clothes with her hands shyly, her 'innocent' posture pushing her bosom together, making it very obvious.
Jun Wu Xie frowned slightly. But Han Shu smiled as if she had never noticed Jun Wu Xie's dissatisfaction. "That's where our saint maidens lived. The temperature will change rapidly on our way up. Lord Yan, please keep warm and don't catch a cold."
Han Shu's sudden affection made Qiao Chu dumbfounded.
The first time when Duan Qi and Han Shu saw Jun Wu Xie, they didn't say a good word to her. Even the dull Qiao Chu could tell that Han Shu did not like Jun Wu Xie. However, Han Shu became a different person on this journey. All of a sudden, she showed dedication and interest in Jun Wu Xie.
Qiao Chu looked at Hua Yao and he shook his head slightly. Apparently they were not interested in Han Shu's changes.
Who knew what Duan Qi had used to brainwash Han Shu during the journey here. Han Shu's eyes almost turned green when she looked at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie had no interest in Han Shu's pretentiousness. She ignored Han Shu's attempts and walked towards the entrance of the Holy Mountain. Jun Wu Yao accompanied Jun Wu Xie and walked past Han Shu as if nothing had happened.
Han Shu only felt that there was a cold war. But she did not know what was going on.
However, Qiao Chu and others have noticed the dissatisfaction of a certain Lord. They could not help looking at Han Shu sympathetically. They couldn't imagine it, after Jun Wu Xie completed her rescue mission, they could not help but wonder how this ruthless woman would be dealt with by Jun Wu Yao. What form of death would she embrace?
Come to think of it, most of the women who have exposed their thoughts to Jun Wu Xie were pure hearted and very kind in nature, but their minds were dull. At least they were protected by Jun Wu Xie, hence Jun Wu Yao would naturally not do anything drastic.
But Han Shu ?
Ha ha.
Who did she think she was?
Jun Wu Xie probably didn't even know what she looked like.
Han Shu was thrown aside by Jun Wu Xie's indifference. She did not respond for a while, until Duan Qi coughed when she led Jun Wu Xie into the mountain. Looking at Jun Wu Xie's cold back, an unknown fire quietly ignited and began burning in her heart .
She had never been ignored!
To think that with her appearance and identity, all good men would try all ways to please her and had always treated her like a goddess just to get her interested.
As for Jun Wu Xie, she was the first person and the first time that she had to please someone like this. This was the first time she hit a nail.
This really made the confident Han Shu very embarrassed. But she couldn't show it, she could only suppress the resentment in her heart and kept up with the team's progress.
However, the other two maidens who competed with Han Shu were very happy when they saw Han Shu facing setbacks.
They had been giving Han Shu face solely because she was relying on her status as the third saint's sister. Finally, someone could teach Han Shu a lesson!

Chapter 2816:- The Sacred Maiden Tribe (1)
As they went up the Holy Mountain, the temperature started to drop. The slight chill gradually invaded the skin as their footsteps progressed. But the decline in temperature was not very obvious. For those who stepped into Holy Mountain for the first time, one might get frostbites unknowingly and before one discovers it, it's already too late.
As they went further up the Holy Mountain, Jun Wu Xie had a familiar feeling. The drop in temperature was like the change they had experienced when they were descending Heaven's End Cliff. The only thing was that other than the similar drastic temperature here, there was no poison gas in it.
She subconsciously looked at Jun Wu Yao as he looked back at her with a smile and nodded at her.
There was no need for Jun Wu Xie to speak because he knew what she wanted to ask.
A large part of the tomb of the Dark Emperor built by the Night Regime was left by Jun Wu Yao. This included the change in the temperature at the bottom of the cliff. This was also something interesting that Jun Wu Yao discovered when he had passed by the Holy Mountain by accident then. After going to the Middle Realm, he talked to Ye Gu who knew how to use the defense of the mausoleum.
Such changes in temperature wouldn't cause any harm to the people who were in the similar realm of Jun Wu Xie and her companions. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, the temperature had changed from warmth of spring to a chilly winter.
Qiao Chu and the rest didn't feel anything, but Han Shu and others had already taken out the cloaks stored in their Cosmos Sack as each of them wrapped themselves in thick cloaks to withstand the cold.
Only Duan Qi, Jun Wu Xie and a few others were not afraid of the cold.
Duan Qi watched Jun Wu Xie's reaction secretly along the way. At first she saw Jun Wu Xie reveal a trace of doubt, but soon calmed down and seemed to be very curious about Holy Mountain, but somehow did not pursue it.
The Holy Mountain was extremely high. They walked for half a day before gradually arriving at the peak. Halfway through, Han Shu and others rested a few times due to the lack of physical strength.
When the sun was about to go down, they finally reached the peak of the Holy Mountain. As rumored, the top of the Holy Mountain that was hidden in the clouds was full of white snow, looking mysterious yet majestic with elegant houses built on the white snow. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the snow and the white buildings seem to be covered with a layer of warm gold, dispersing the coldness that should have existed.
"The place where the Sacred Maiden Tribe lives has snow all year round. This snow is the accumulation of the purest snowflakes in the world. There aren't any springs in the mountains, hence our water source comes directly from this snow. After settling down, Lord Yan may like to try our tea that's been brewed with the snow from the top of Holy Mountain and see if there is a special fragrance." She said to Jun Wu Xie with unconcealed pride.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly, but her eyes were attracted by the white lotus above the serene snowscape.
Those lotus flowers were born in the snow and the pure white was almost integrated with the snow. However, Jun Wu Xie felt that it was familiar.
Duan Qi noticed Jun Wu Xie's gaze and a smile flashed past her eyes. She took a step forward and took off a lotus flower among the snow and brought it to Jun Wu Xie.
"This is the Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus, a unique lotus only exists in our Holy Mountain. It has excellent healing effects. The scented tea brewed with it can prolong one's life."
.

Chapter 2817:- The Sacred Maiden Tribe (2)
Duan Qi's tone was full of pride. The Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus in her hand was the rarest treasure in the world.
However...
There was no expression on Jun Wu Xie's face. Qiao Chu and others looked at Duan Qi, but their gazes were extremely strange.
Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus ...
Pffft!
Wasn't that Little Xie's Little Lotus?
Since the growth of Jun Wu Xie's spiritual power, the number of lotus seeds produced by Little Lotus had also increased each day. Lotus seeds were very rare then but now, they could be harvested in large numbers. Jun Wu Xie distributed to those around her on a daily basis as snacks.
When Qiao Chu looked at Duan Qi holding a non-spiritual Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus and smiling to herself, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Compared with Little Lotus, Duan Qi's Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus could not even compare to a leaf of Little Lotus'.
Wonder how Duan Qi would feel if she were to know that the precious Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus in her mouth was akin to a waste to Jun Wu Xie.
Duan Qi waited for a while, but didn't attain Jun Wu Xie's focused gaze. She couldn't help but have some doubts. This Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus was very rare and although the peak of Holy Mountain had also grown bigger, these Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus were supplied to the elders of the tribe or the saints. The rest were to be dedicated to His Lord while the rest gained nothing.
Before she saw that Jun Wu Xie seemed to have some interest in Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus. She originally planned to attract Jun Wu Xie using the Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus. However, Jun Wu Xie just looked at it and did not even ask any other questions!
Even Duan Qi was calm. She couldn't help but be dumbfounded by Jun Wu Xie's whimsical nature.
What does this kid like?
To be so indifferent to such beautiful women as Han Shu and even ignored a treasure like theHeavenly Imperial Snow Lotus. Wouldn't it be true that this boy is so hard to please?
Poor Duan Qi was badly mistaken. She hadn't caught hold of Jun Wu Xie's weakness at all. If she replaced the Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus in her hand with a little white rabbit, Jun Wu Xie would probably look at it more.
As for Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus ...
Jun Wu Xie already owned the King of Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus, Little Lotus. The others were not important to her at all.
When Duan Qi was a little embarrassed, a group of women in white clothes and cloaks came out of the maiden's tribe. Several women had good looks. When they saw Duan Qi, they immediately knelt down and paid their salutations.
"Welcome back, Elder Duan." The fragile female voice passed into everyone's ears.
Looking at the respectful looks of the women in the clan, Duan Qi's self-confidence, which had been crushed and broken at Jun Wu Xie, finally eased a little. She raised her chin proudly and said in a deep voice: "How were things in the recent days?"
"Everything is fine in the clan, please rest assured Elder Duan."
"Mm." Duan Qi nodded with satisfaction, then said: "This is a noble guest of my tribe. Now, prepare a good place to welcome Lord Yan."
Having said that, Duan Qi looked to Jun Wu Xie and said: "I have just returned and there are still some things that need to be dealt with. Lord Yan, please feel at ease and help yourself. If there is any need, please feel free to speak. The Sacred Maiden Tribe will host a banquet tonight to celebrate your arrival."
Jun Wu Xie answered with a 'Mm".
Duan Qi immediately walked into the tribe. Although Han Shu and others wanted to continue to get closer with Jun Wu Xie, they were called in together by Duan Qi.
Several women from the tribe looked at Jun Wu Xie curiously. Although they were full of doubts, they did not dare to violate Duan Qi's orders and obediently brought Jun Wu Xie and her companions to their residence.

Chapter 2818:- The Sacred Maiden Tribe (3)
From the beginning to the end, Qiao Chu and others were completely ignored by Duan Qi . They didn't even have a chance to introduce themselves. They just followed behind Jun Wu Xie, led by the maidens to the place where they lived.
The coldness of the Holy Mountain spread across the residence. Jun Wu Xie and the others settled down in the residence. The maidens left one after another, leaving two to serve the guests.
Jun Wu Xie assigned the two maidens to the hall to do some packing after which, she gathered Qiao Chu and others together.
"Oh, the Sacred Maiden Tribe is originally Little Lotus' hometown? Little Xie, do you want to release Little Lotus? Maybe he can see his children and grandchildren here." Qiao Chu smiled at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at Qiao Chu as if she heard nothing.
Zheng Weilong and Ah Da went to their respective rooms after entering the residence. But Jun Wu Xie did not call them over.
Jun Wu Xie sat down on the chair and glanced at the furnishings in the house. Although the maidens were picky, the result was still good. The room was very elegant and noble. The gadgets were extremely delicate. The treasures that the owners of the 72 cities sent them earlier on were not as good as the decorations in the house of the maidens residence.
It's no wonder that Han Shu would dislike Sea Spirit City to such an extent.
This Sacred Maiden Tribe was truly rich.
"Wu Yao, what have you noticed?" Jun Wu Xie looked at Jun Wu Yao. Although her spiritual power increased very fast, in terms of perception, she was not as good as Jun Wu Yao. Therefore, she had to find out from Jun Wu Yao the whereabouts of Han Zi Fei and Jun Gu here.
"Zi Fei is here, as for your father ... I didn't feel his breath." Jun Wu Yao opened his senses as soon as he stepped into the Holy Mountain. The breath of everyone in the tribe couldn't escape his perception.
He had sensed the breath of Zi Fei, but had not found the one belonging to Jun Gu.
"He hasn't arrived yet?" Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes.
"According to Duan Qi, there are still a few days before Senior Zi Fei and their parents get married. Uncle Jun Gu may not have reached the Holy Mountain. Little Xie, would you like to take advantage of this time to meet Senior Zi Fei? Maybe you find out something from her. It will be much easier to proceed if she knows about it in advance. " Fan Zhuo proposed.
Jun Wu Xie thought for a moment, looked up to Jun Wu Yao and said, "Where is she? Is there anyone around her?"
Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie. Although there was no abnormality on his face, he sighed in his heart.
Even Jun Wu Xie herself did not realize that her eagerness when mentioning about Zi Fei was not inferior to that of Jun Gu.
"Zi Fei's strength is quite high. Few of the maidens are her opponents. She is definitely here. But there are no exponents guarding nearby. I think she should be safe for the time being and have some freedom." Jun Wu Yao replied.
Jun Wu Xie frowned.
"Don't panic at this moment. Duan Qi has mentioned that the Sacred Maiden Tribe will host a banquet to entertain you. According to the habit of the maiden, if they really want to treat you, they will naturally invite the saints to attend. You might as well wait until tonight to see if it is possible to see Zi Fei before you plan the next step. Will that be better? "Jun Wu Yao warmly said.
Jun Wu Xie thought about it and she agreed.
.

Chapter 2819:- Han Zi Fei (1)
Jun Wu Xie's side has calmed down, but Duan Qi, who was travel-worn, returned to the residence of the Sacred Maiden Tribe with a gloomy face.
Han Shu and others followed behind Duan Qi carefully. Anyone could see that Duan Qi was not in a good mood at this moment.
Duan Qi was an elder of the Sacred Maiden Tribe. In the Upper Realm, she could have anything she wanted. But upon meeting Jun Wu Xie, she hasn't gotten her way. And with her temperament, for Duan Qi to tolerate till now, that was very rare.
The women in the hall saw Duan Qi and bowed to her politely, but Duan Qi spared little thought and did not respond to them, as she walked into the hall in a great huff.
"Elder Duan." A woman with a beautiful face stood in the hall, looking curiously at a somber Duan Qi.
"Elder Yun." Duan Qi looked at the person but was reluctant to say more.
This person was also an elder of the Sacred Maiden Tribe. Although she was not as high ranking as Duan Qi, she was also a very important person. Even if Duan Qi has any great unhappiness, she would not reveal it to Elder Yun.
"I heard Elder Duan came back this time and seemed to have brought some guests. I wonder who the person is for Elder Duan to personally invite him back?" Elder Yun said with a smile.
Duan Qi's somber expression grew dark again. When she thought about Jun Wu Xie's expressionless face, she felt very chilled.
"He is the new City Lord of Sea Spirit City, Yan Hai.." Duan Qi told Elder Yun, as she narrated what happened before to Elder Yun.
Elder Yun's face suddenly appeared incredulous.
"Dual Spirit Rings? Is this true?"
Duan Qi nodded, "If it isn't true, why would I bring him back? But this kid is very capable, thus he is quite arrogant. He doesn't care about soft or hard approaches so if we want him to agree with our request, then we will have to put in a lot of effort. I have already given instructions to prepare a welcome banquet for tonight. I will have the outstanding women in our tribe attend as well. I don't believe this kid will have his eyes in the sky, with so many pretty ladies in attendance, he will really not be attracted to anyone?"
Elder Yun had not calmed down from the shock of the dual Spirit Ring. But looking at the unhappy Duan Qi, she knew that Duan Qi had suffered a lot of indignity.
But, only the Sacred Maiden Tribe ...
"It's not difficult, but if you really want to entice him, then you must take this very seriously. Do you want Han Zi Fei to attend the banquet tonight?" Elder Yun slightly hesitated.
"Her?" Duan Qi frowned suddenly.
"How is she doing?"
"Everything is fine, this time it looks like she's changed her temperament. She's been very obedient. Perhaps it's because she has drifted outside for so many years, suffered greatly, and finally is enlightened. She is after all our Sacred Maiden, even though she had made mistakes, before the arrival of the new Sacred Maiden, we also cannot hurt her. Moreover, His Lord has betrothed her to Lord Gu, so I think she has calmed down. "Elder Yun said with a hint of knowing.
After Duan Qi was silent for a moment, she said, "Well, if she had mended her ways, we can let bygones be bygones. Send someone to inform her that there will be a banquet tonight."
Elder Yun nodded with a smile. She glanced at Han Shu, who was behind Duan Qi, and immediately said, "Han Shu, since you are Han Zi Fei's sister, and you will convey the news."
Han Shu was a little shocked and her entire back stiffened. But, she didn't dare to have the slightest expression of resistance, and could only obey:
"Yes, Han Shu will do as instructed."

Chapter 2820:- Han Zi Fei (2)
There was a faint floral scent in the small, quiet hall. The floral scent was not clingy, but with a refreshing fragrance, people could smell it for a long time.
As soon as Han Shu stepped into this small hall, her expression became ashen and with every step she took, she had an urge to immediately turn away from the place.
However, she couldn't.
"Where is the Sacred Maiden?" Han Shu asked out loud, seeing the handmaid in the small hall.
"The Sacred Maiden is in the study," answered the handmaid.
Han Shu sneered secretly.
The study, again the study.
Obviously she was the Sacred Maiden of the Sacred Maiden Tribe and thus had a very high status. But that person however liked to do these meaningless things, like reading those tattered books. Who was she putting up an act for?
"Alright, Elder Yun told me to tell her something. I'll go find her." Han Shu said with a tensed face.
The handmaid nodded obediently.
From the small hall to the long corridor, through the gorgeous courtyard, watching the carved jade gazebo, watching the water crystals blended with snow color inlaid on the ground, Han Shu's heart was a little gloomy.
This was the small house where the Sacred Maidens lived. It was also the most luxurious place in the Sacred Maiden Tribe. The best things in the entire tribe were sent here for the Sacred maiden to enjoy.
As a child, Han Shu had dreamed countless times that she could live in such a good place, but reality was bloody and cruel.
Walking all the way to the study, Han Shu could no longer remember the many good things she saw.
Since Han Zi Fei fled, the small hall was also left empty, and only the handmaids would come clean it every day, the others were not allowed to enter at all.
Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A gentle and pleasant voice sounded in the room.
Han Shu said: "Sacred Maiden, it's me, Han Shu."
There was no sound in the study, and Han Shu could feel a hot sting on her face.
She and Han Zi Fei shared the same mother. Why, was it that Han Zi Fei who got all this, and not her?!!
Before Han Han's unwillingness started to burn, the door of the study was opened suddenly.
A woman appeared. She had an exquisite face, wearing a very simple goose-yellow long dress, with long black hair hanging behind her. Although it was the simplest dress, it was more eye-catching than the March sun. She was too beautiful for people to look away.
Han Zi Fei ...
The third Sacred Maiden of the Sacred Maiden Tribe was also the most beautiful woman in the Sacred Maiden Tribe.
Every time Han Shu saw Han Zi Fei's face, she could not help but want to tear it off.
"Sacred Maiden." Han Shu lowered her head to try and cover up the unwillingness in her eyes.
"Han Shu? Why are you free to come to me today?" Han Zi Fei's voice was mild, there was a sharp and heroic look between the eyebrows, she was not as delicate as an ordinary woman.
"What's the matter, come in and talk." Han Zi Fei laughed lightly, turned and walked into the study, she casually sat down at the desk, and set aside the unread books.
Han Shu stepped into the study. The rows of bookshelves in the entire study were filled with old books. With the many years that had passed, the books could only be preserved in the cold environment of the Holy Mountain, and therefore were still intact. But upon closer observation, each of those books seemed to have been read countless times, the cornes were a little frayed.
