After settling the three of them into the academy to cultivate, Zhang Yang followed the clues Yang Jiao had provided and arrived at the entrance to the small courtyard Huang Yao had rented. He knocked on the door.
Huang Yao, who was fully focused on refining the "Chaos Fragment," was startled at once.
She worried that the Palace Master and the others had come to hunt her down.
But she immediately remembered that this was Azure Cloud City, and she had nothing to fear. She put away the Chaos Fragment and walked out of the courtyard.
When she saw that the person at the door was not the Palace Master but a stranger, her heart skipped a beat.
Who was this?
Looking more closely, her face drained of color. Wasn't this the current Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect?
"This little woman greets Senior Daoxuan!" Huang Yao hurriedly gave a deeply respectful bow. "I did not know Senior Daoxuan had arrived and failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive my offense!"
She was extremely nervous.
Even setting Zhang Yang's status aside, his Tribulation Realm cultivation alone made Huang Yao incomparably tense.
Why had such an important figure come here?
After the news that the Azure Cloud Sect had over a thousand experts above the Dao Integration Realm spread across the world, Zhang Yang, the current Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect, was no less legendary than the previous generation's sect master.
"Don't be nervous!" Zhang Yang said to Huang Yao with a smile. "Azure Cloud City is a place with rules. Even I must abide by them.
For instance, this little courtyard of yours—I can't enter without your permission!"
Zhang Yang made a joke, making Huang Yao laugh despite herself. She hurriedly said, "Senior Daoxuan, you jest.
