The Phoenix Immortal Dynasty.
The Phoenix Immortal Dynasty's powerhouse hadn't even reached the dynasty when someone suddenly called out to him.
His brows knitted, and he instantly grew wary. He'd been so careful—who could have discovered him?
When his thoughts swept behind him and he saw Yue Yunshang standing there, his brows immediately relaxed. His eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Imperial Empress, why have you come back?"
Before Yue Yunshang could reply, he realized what was going on and exclaimed joyfully, "I understand! You came back specially to thank the Emperor Venerable."
Yue Yunshang smiled brightly. "He's done so much for me. Of course I had to come thank him in person."
The Phoenix Immortal Dynasty's powerhouse nodded repeatedly. "Indeed. The Emperor Venerable cares deeply for you, Imperial Empress. Even though you parted ways, he still has you in his heart."
Then he thought of something else and glanced around. "But, Imperial Empress, things are tense right now. You should be careful coming back so suddenly."
He knew all too well how terrifying those Hegemon Grade beings were. Yue Yunshang had hidden herself well, but there was still a good chance those beings could divine her whereabouts.
And if any Hegemon Grade being had been keeping a close eye on Yue Yunshang, the chances were even greater.
Yue Yunshang had just fallen out with the other Hegemon Grade factions. This was the most dangerous time for her, and her sudden return might well draw someone's attention.
"I wouldn't have come back if it weren't safe. Besides, when would those Hegemon Grade beings have time to watch me? They don't think much of me. And my cultivation isn't weak, either. It's not as if I'm completely helpless." Yue Yunshang smiled as she explained.
The Phoenix Immortal Dynasty's powerhouse nodded repeatedly.
