Lu Yang had never expected the Heavenly Court he established later to become the orthodox one.
But on closer thought, Ao Ling had a point.
Ao Ling noticed someone rather peculiar among the members of the Heavenly Court. "I wonder who this Yun Zhi Senior Brother mentioned is. She's actually the leader of the Heavenly Court Sect, and her status is second only to Sister Everlasting—higher even than Lianyi's."
Lu Yang was just about to explain when the Everlasting Fairy beat him to it. "Yun Zhi is my great foe. Our strength is evenly matched. Once I recover to my peak, with you, the second-in-command, and Lianyi by my side, the four of us will surely defeat her and return in triumph."
