Baihua Valley's charm remained as it always had, its style unchanged through the years. Yet compared to usual, the atmosphere felt somewhat different. Naturally, this was because Yan Zhuixing had caused Yue Qianchou to order a strike against Myriad Demon Palace. Many people were secretly speculating, "I'm afraid Baihua Palace will be next."
As whispers filled every street and alley of Baihua Valley, boom! The sky suddenly exploded with a thunderous blast, and even the earth trembled. Everyone looked up in alarm, only to see a streak of light forcibly tear through Baihua Valley's protective formation and barge straight in, hovering in midair.
Everyone who saw the newcomer felt their hearts leap into their throats. Anyone capable of forcibly breaking through the protective formation could not possibly have an ordinary cultivation.
The surroundings fell utterly silent, as if even time had frozen for an instant. One after another, they raised their heads and stared motionlessly at the sky.
The old hands who had long made their living in Baihua Valley recognized Yue Qianchou. Upon seeing that it was him, many weighed the matter in their hearts. This visitor was clearly ill-intentioned—he had come to make trouble for Baihua Palace. Sure enough, after sweeping his gaze over those below, Yue Qianchou turned into a streak of light and shot directly toward Baihua Palace. Whispers immediately spread throughout Baihua Valley.
Many within Baihua Palace had already been uneasy over Yan Zhuixing offending Yue Qianchou. The thunderous blast startled everyone out of the palace. Before they could see who had come, a streak of light had already barged through the mountain gate and landed before the gates of Baihua Palace, standing face-to-face with the Baihua Palace Master, who had just come out to see what was happening.
"Guan Muxue, long time no see."
