Han Xuanji felt much more at ease as he felt the solid ground beneath his feet.
He thought to himself that he certainly wouldn't really act recklessly.
He always acts with discretion; his bottom line is "I will not offend others unless they offend me."
However, with Leng Qianshuang's words, he at least didn't need to worry too much, and his confidence undoubtedly increased.
This confidence certainly provides reassurance in a dog-eat-dog world.
Upon hearing Leng Qianshuang's words, both Hun Qianling and Li Tiantong were moved.
Goodness!
Is this the majesty of the Holy Lord's disciples?
That makes sense.
Back in Thousand Souls City, although the Soul Household was nominally the dominant power, it had already declined considerably and was no longer substantially different from other forces.
We must also be mindful and not act recklessly.
Not only is the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord himself powerful enough to subdue an entire state, but his status is also extremely noble and his background is incredibly powerful. Becoming his disciple means that one can basically do whatever one wants within the Nine Mysteries City.
At this moment, the elite armored soldiers on both sides of the city gate stood solemnly, their long halberds gleaming with a cold light, their eyes scanning everyone entering and leaving the city gate like hawks.
But the moment they saw Leng Qianshuang, they instantly straightened their posture, bowed respectfully, and said in unison:
"Greetings, Heavenly Frost Sage!"
Leng Qianshuang nodded and said to Han Xuanji beside her:
"I also command the three major legions of Nine Mysteries City, which is a way of relieving my master's burden."
It wasn't that she coveted power and wanted to command three major legions by herself; rather, the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord was trying to be a hands-off manager and couldn't just hand over many crucial matters to outsiders, so he let Leng Qianshuang take charge of things.
"Once you become Eternal Sage, will you be interested in caring about these things?"
"No, no."
Han Xuanji quickly shook his head; he had no desire to concern himself with such matters.
"Oh."
Leng Qianshuang was a little disappointed, but at the same time, she understood Han Xuanji a little better.
Han Xuanji's first reaction was to shake her head, which didn't seem like she was faking it at all.
Could he be just like his master?
With Leng Qianshuang around, naturally no one dared to check them, and there was no need to queue.
" The Dao of Space and Time are truly profound. With my current abilities, even teleporting tens of meters requires external assistance."
Han Xuanji was deeply moved.
Eternal Dao Master cultivators are almost unable to perform spatial displacement on their own and must rely on divine weapons and magical Law Treasure.
Long-distance teleportation like this is very convenient, and only cultivators of the Sage- level in the Dao of Space and Time can accomplish it.
Cultivators of this level can also create life-saving items, which are extremely expensive and in high demand.
"Junior brother seems to also cultivate the Dao of Space and Time. If you have any questions in this area, you can come to me..."
Leng Qianshuang was happy to give Han Xuanji pointers, after all, he was her only junior brother.
The two exchanged a few casual words, while the other two were quite excited.
The arrival of these individuals quickly attracted the attention of all parties involved.
Leng Qianshuang did not deliberately conceal her aura, nor did she hide her whereabouts.
She has always been direct in her actions, and in this Nine Mysteries City, no one can make her take a detour.
She led Han Xuanji and the other two towards the city gate at a leisurely pace, as if they had just returned from a long trip.
Many well-informed cultivators noticed these figures almost immediately, and discussions arose like a tidal wave.
"Look! Heavenly Frost Sage has returned!"
"Who are those people with her? I've never seen that young man in the blue robe before."
" The Heavenly Frost Sage deliberately slowed her pace, and judging from her expression... she was actually smiling?"
"Have you ever seen the Heavenly Frost Sage smile? I've lived in Nine Mysteries City for three thousand years and have seen her a few times, but I've never seen her so gentle and kind to anyone!"
"Just who is this young man? How could he have the Heavenly Frost Sage personally accompanying him?"
Amidst the murmurs, someone with sharp eyes recognized Han Xuanji's face, suddenly slapped their thigh, and exclaimed in surprise:
"That's Han Xuanji! The dark horse from Thousand Souls City who defeated Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng!"
These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng are highly respected among the younger generation in Nine Mysteries City. One is the number one Sword Dao, and the other is a prodigy with unparalleled Dao foundation.
The news that he could defeat both of them at the same time has already spread among the major forces in Nine Mysteries City.
The fact that Han Xuanji has appeared in Nine Mysteries City, accompanied by Leng Qianshuang, speaks volumes.
" Heavenly Frost Sage is the eldest disciple of Nine Mysteries Holy Lord... Her personal errand to pick him up... could it be...?"
"He's the new disciple of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord?!"
"My God... he's so lucky!"
All eyes turned to Han Xuanji, filled with surprise, curiosity, and a hint of disbelief.
Because the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord has always had extremely high standards, he has never shown much enthusiasm for taking on disciples since he became famous.
Although Han Xuanji defeated Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng, such geniuses have appeared in Nine Mysteries City before throughout history.
In their view, a victory in a single Principle Conference was not enough to warrant such a large-scale mobilization from the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord.
It's important to know that Leng Qianshuang not only has a powerful background, but she was also among the top three on the Sacred Court 'Heaven's Chosen Ranking of geniuses in her youth, sweeping across several regions without being able to defeat any of them. Her achievements and reputation are among the best in the entire Southern Great Region.
Han Xuanji has at best only defeated a few prodigies from a few states, which seems far inferior in comparison.
But the facts speak for themselves.
Leng Qianshuang walked side by side with Han Xuanji, deliberately slowing her pace so that Han Xuanji was shoulder to shoulder with her, instead of walking in front as she would with ordinary attendants.
This gesture was clearly a declaration to everyone in Nine Mysteries City.
Some of the older cultivators watched this scene silently, already considering whether they should send someone to investigate the young man's preferences and temperament.
They knew better than the younger disciples that anyone who could command such a grand reception from the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord was no ordinary person.
High up on the building, the blue-haired man watched the commotion below, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
" The Heavenly Frost Sage personally went to fetch him; it seems the Ancestor is truly taking this matter seriously."
The tall man beside him didn't reply, but just stared at the figure in blue robes below the city gate, his expression complex and unreadable.
Han Xuanji walked on the road outside the city gate, facing those gazes, his pace never slowing, his expression never changing, simply walking his own path calmly.
He glanced at Leng Qianshuang out of the corner of his eye and saw a faint smile on her lips. She was clearly not surprised by the commotion, and it could even be said that she did it intentionally.
However, Leng Qianshuang didn't like being constantly watched, so she snapped her fingers.
The group of people instantly arrived at the Nine Mysteries Palace in Nine Mysteries City.
