Chen Shuangbai turned around and saw that Mystic Lord Guanyue's figure had appeared in front of her at some point.
He sat atop that magnificent white deer, beneath which pure white light condensed into a mystical platform, inscribed with various shapes. He had a round face and long eyebrows, and looked quite friendly.
"Greetings, Profound Lord!"
Chen Shuangbai dared not be negligent. He first paid his respects, while secretly observing whether this Spirit Transformation from White Emperor City could detect the pale golden ribbon above his head.
To Chen Shuangbai's disappointment, even though this person was Spirit Transformation from White Emperor City, he still couldn't detect the methods of Mahayana Celestial Person.
Lord Guanyue landed on the white deer, walked up to him, and said, "What's with all this talk of greetings? Why did you run back again?"
"Did that old bastard Wei Shuofang embarrass you?"
Chen Shuangbai had already prepared a reason for this, and simply said, "No, it's not that. Profound Lord Qingfang is a kind person and warmly received me. It's just that I was a bit too eager for success in my early cultivation, so I have some old injuries that need some unique spiritual resources to help me."
"Since there's no such place in the Pillow Stream Mountain area, I wanted to visit this magnificent city, known as the 'Number One City Under Heaven.'"
Chen Shuangbai had thought it through very clearly.
This time, True Lord Zhaoguang, influenced by the Mystic Eye, came to cause trouble for me, and I left in such a hurry that I didn't even get to see Profound Lord Qingfang again...
Unless Profound Lord Qingfang is stupid, he will definitely realize the trickery behind his actions!
Even if he doesn't sense the existence of that mysterious eye, he will definitely become suspicious... and he will surely come looking for me.
'The only way to counter the methods of Mahayana Celestial Person is through the methods of another Mahayana Celestial Person!'
' Pillow Stream Mountain is a sieve, but if you want to discuss matters, you must do so under the watchful eye of another Mahayana Celestial Person.'
"Yeah?"
Lord Guanyue found this somewhat puzzling.
Since Qing Fang treated this junior so kindly, why did the junior turn back?
He sensed something was amiss, but he couldn't connect it to the actions of a Mahayana Celestial Person Being. He figured it was a matter between the remnants of the Heavenly River lineage, and it wasn't appropriate for him to interfere.
" White Emperor City is certainly a good place to visit; it is the premier immortal city in the Vast Blue Fertile Lands... It would be a good thing to go and see it for yourself."
Lord Guanyue paused slightly before speaking, then raised his hand and gently pointed, and a pure white light landed in front of Chen Shuangbai, transforming into a small pure white sword.
"You and I seem to have a connection, and White Emperor City is also where my sect is located... Moreover, with my token in hand, I guarantee no one will cause you any trouble."
Chen Shuangbai was overjoyed.
He grasped the pure white sword tightly and bowed deeply once more, saying, "I will Xuhong remember the kindness of the Profound Lord."
" Xuhong..."
After considering the implications of the Daoist name, Lord Guanyue smiled and said, "It's quite ingenious."
After a brief chat, Lord Guanyue frowned slightly, looked in the direction of Great Chu, and muttered, "They really don't stop for even a quarter of an hour."
Chen Shuangbai was slightly taken aback and said, "Is there trouble again in the Great Chu?"
Lord Guanyue simply smiled faintly, "That Prince Shiyang was stopped by me last time and failed to capture you. He must have been reprimanded by the Emperor of Chu, and he's throwing a tantrum now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai finally understood why she had been able to escape the pursuit of the Prince Shiyang, and she wanted to thank him again.
But Chen Shuangbai couldn't bring herself to thank him this time. When she turned around, Lord Guanyue had already disappeared.
"Alright, alright, I'm not interested in such formalities. I'm leaving."
"Just a coincidence."
"The [ Mystic Pill Grand Gathering ], held every ten years, is in a month. Why don't you go and join the fun?"
Chen Shuangbai held the pure white sword, her fingertips gently stroking the cloud patterns flowing across its blade, sensing the extremely pure and profound divine Divine Ability unique to the Spirit Transformation level.
Feiguang then dared to step forward and cautiously asked, "My lord... shall we proceed to White Emperor City next?"
"Um."
The void shattered, and the azure water light and golden-white demonic light fell into it.
This is not within the territory of the Great Chu, so there aren't many Chu Dynasty cultivators from the Immortal Patrol Bureau patrolling here. Traveling through the void is naturally the fastest way.
Furthermore, Chen Shuangbai did not want Profound Lord Qingfang to find him before he arrived in White Emperor City.
"However... I didn't expect to happen to be here at this [ Mystic Elixir Dharma Assembly ]."
Two months later.
The Yue Kingdom.
The void shattered, and Chen Shuangbai and Feiguang emerged from it, their eyes lighting up as they gazed at the immortal city situated on the shores of the Sea of Immortals.
The majestic immortal city stretches across the shores of the Sea of Immortals, displaying a myriad of magnificent sights.
The city walls stand majestically on the shore of the vast sea, with towering pavilions layered upon each other, reaching into the clouds. The white jade base shines brightly in the sun, and the Glazed Glass tiles are dazzling and eye-catching.
Clouds swirled around the city walls, cranes soared over the city walls, and rays of light painted the sky and sea with a splendid hue.
Above the gate, three characters are engraved in ancient seal script: " White Emperor City ".
The brushstrokes are vigorous, like dragons and snakes dancing, with a faint Sword Qi running through them, and a rich golden-white light emanating from them, which is awe-inspiring and makes people dare not look directly at them.
Even Chen Shuangbai was deeply impressed and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a magnificent immortal city!"
Only when they got close to this place did the pale golden ribbon that had been hanging above Chen Shuangbai's head gradually disappear.
As if reluctant to part, it gently swayed, its end undulating like a snake's tail, several times trying to plunge directly into Chen Shuangbai's head... but in the end it gradually withdrew again and disappeared into the the Unseen.
"Call!"
Chen Shuangbai finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the anxiety that had been hanging over her heart was finally put to rest.
This journey is extremely dangerous!
As he drew closer to White Emperor City, the silk ribbon hanging three feet above his head seemed to come alive, swaying incessantly...
On several occasions, it seemed as if it wanted to burrow into Chen Shuangbai's head, or transform into a golden sword and slash straight down.
Several times... Chen Shuangbai thought that at worst, she could activate the power of the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] and fight it to the death.
But after that silk ribbon, whether the Mahayana Celestial Person being wanted to play the long game or had other thoughts, he ultimately stopped.
The oppressive feeling that had been nagging at Chen Shuangbai for days was finally swept away, allowing the pressure in her heart to slowly dissipate.
"My lord?"
Feiguang's face showed deep surprise.
Lately, he'd felt that something was off.
My master always has the feeling that someone is chasing him from behind... He walks in a hurry, and he is somewhat suspicious.
But since the master didn't explain, he, as a spirit beast, couldn't ask too many questions.
Now, seeing that his lord seemed to have a sense of relief, he finally dared to speak.
Chen Shuangbai chuckled to himself and said, "Let's talk about it once we're inside the city."
