The Undying Ancient God standing before Li Yun was a woman.
She wore a purple silk dress, her blue-green eyes bright as stars.
Her bare feet were like jade, untouched by the slightest speck of dust.
A pale crescent marked her brow, lending her beauty and bearing an elegance beyond compare. Even the stars above the Boundary Sea seemed unable to rival her.
She was beautiful beyond imagination.
In looks and bearing alone, none of the beauties Li Yun had ever seen could compare. They were not even fit to serve as her maids.
Her beauty was more than a matter of appearance. It lay in her bearing, in the undying Dao aura of an Undying Ancient God—something no ordinary woman could possess.
Yet despite his shock, Li Yun scarcely dared to look at her.
For one thing, he was not the sort to lose his head at the sight of a beautiful woman.
For another, she was plainly stronger than he was.
All he felt was wariness.
He also suspected he might have stumbled into another Undying Ancient God's territory. If so, he was the one who had trespassed.
Before she could speak, Li Yun apologized.
"Fellow Daoist, I didn't know this was your territory. I was merely passing through and meant to find somewhere to rest..."
"Forgive me for intruding."
"I'll leave at once."
But her expression did not change. She studied him for a moment before slowly asking, "Are you the one Night Silence Ancient God has placed a bounty on?"
Li Yun's heart jolted.
What?
Night Silence Ancient God has put a bounty on me?
Damn it!
That bastard Night Silence Ancient God found out I survived, and now he wants to root me out for good?
Li Yun gritted his teeth, hatred surging through him.
