Nangong Yaoyue's face was extremely ugly.
She didn't understand why Lianxin would challenge her.
In her view, this was clearly not a challenge, but an insult!
With Lianxin's current status and strength, who in this vast Profound Domain could fight her, and who would dare to be her enemy?
Even the renowned Ten Heroes of the Imperial Clan wouldn't dare!
But it's precisely this kind of person who actually dared to challenge himself!
Nangong Yaoyue, who was usually aloof, couldn't help but feel a little flustered at this moment.
She knew that she was no match for Lianxin. If she accepted the challenge, she would only be brutally defeated in front of all the junior brothers and sisters of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, in front of their master and the high-ranking elders!
Such humiliation is simply...
The thought of that possible scene made Nangong Yaoyue's heart tighten.
She was the Holy Maiden of the dignified Chiyao Heavenly Palace, possessing formidable strength and extraordinary talent. If she were to be humiliated like this by Lianxin, used as a stepping stone, and become another brick in Lianxin's path to fame, where would she put her face?
Where will this leave the reputation of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace?
But...
Lowering her head, Nangong Yaoyue looked at the letter in her hand. The material of the letter was ordinary, and it had been crumpled in one corner by her turbulent emotions just now, but the handwriting on the letter, which was so strong that it almost penetrated the back of the paper, was still clearly visible.
Judging solely from her handwriting, Nangong Yaoyue could tell that Lianxin was a person who was determined to forge ahead.
With such a challenge, naming her by name, she, as the Holy Maiden of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, had no way to hide.
It would be even more shameful not to accept the challenge.
Yaoguang, as Nangong Yaoyue's master, sighed softly, her eyes filled with endless confusion.
"Since you haven't offended her, why would she so casually lower herself to challenge you?"
Anyone with eyes can see that Nangong Yaoyue has absolutely no chance of winning.
A hint of grievance appeared in Nangong Yaoyue's beautiful eyes as she pursed her lips and shook her head.
She didn't know either.
No matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember when she had met Lianxin, let alone when she had offended her.
"Master, what should I do... I really didn't..."
At this moment, even Nangong Yaoyue, the holy maiden of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace who was always known as the aloof moon in the heavens, couldn't help but panic.
Although she wasn't without trump cards—for example, a treasure she obtained from the secret realm—but... but...
They wouldn't be a match for Lianxin either!
The two people aren't even on the same level!
The thought of being defeated by Lianxin in front of everyone and suffering such humiliation, not only for herself but also for her sect to lose face, filled her with panic. She bit her lip tightly, completely at a loss for what to do.
Yaoguang pinched her brow hard, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight!"
Not refusing to fight would be a disgrace not only to Nangong Yaoyue, but also to the Chiyao Heavenly Palace!
Therefore, even though they know they are no match for the enemy, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Yes..."
Even though she was unwilling, Nangong Yaoyue had no choice but to agree.
As Yaoguang said, now, this is the only option that is not a solution.
The entire Chiyao Heavenly Palace was tense, and Nangong Yaoyue was particularly uneasy, anxiously awaiting the day agreed upon on the letter.
The three-day period passed in the blink of an eye.
" Chiyao Heavenly Palace..."
Outside the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, the girl in white looked at the stone tablet inscribed with "Chiyao Heavenly Palace," softly read the words on it, raised her eyes to look at the mountain gate hall on the mountaintop where traces of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace were beginning to emerge, lifted her leg and stepped forward alone, forging ahead without hesitation.
However, although she appeared to be alone, Su Lianxin knew that the Vice Pavilion Master was concealed nearby, protecting her on this journey.
After the challenge was announced, almost everyone in the Profound Domain knew about it.
Therefore, the once aloof Chiyao Heavenly Palace is now overcrowded.
At the foot of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, a large crowd of onlookers gathered, including many powerful individuals.
Besides coming to watch the excitement, they also wanted to witness the brilliance of the number one genius of the Profound Domain!
Su Lianxin appeared at this time.
Her attire was always simple: a plain white dress, no accessories, her long hair tied up with only an ebony hairpin, a jade pendant from the Sword Pavilion hanging at her waist, and a long sword in her hand as she stepped onto the path leading to the gate of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace.
Upon seeing this girl, even those who had never seen Lianxin's true face before instinctively knew that this was Lianxin!
That mysterious feeling permeated the air between them. For a moment, no one dared to offend Su Lianxin. They watched her figure stepping onto the mountain path with awe and admiration, their eyes almost overflowing with longing!
It wasn't until Su Lianxin's figure was almost out of sight that someone finally spoke slowly, deeply shocked.
"Is she... the Lianxin of the Sword Pavilion who single-handedly overwhelmed all the Alien Race royal families on the arena...?"
"What a nice view..."
"It's so cold. This invincible aura is rarely seen in the world. Even from this distance, that aura, like an unmelting snow-capped mountain, is clearly visible. Hiss... What a terrifying woman!"
Many of them, or even the vast majority, never even participated in that arena battle, due to their lack of strength or other reasons.
Therefore, they had not witnessed firsthand how Lianxin defeated those Alien Race prodigies.
The vast majority of cultivators in the Profound Domain learned about this from hearsay or from battle reports.
Even so, they were still thrilled by what they saw and heard!
Single-handedly, he turned the tide of battle and saved the Profound Domain from dire straits!
Lianxin not only for the sake of the Human Race, but also for the sake of the Profound Domain!
Who says there are no geniuses in the Profound Domain?
Who says that the geniuses of the Profound Domain are necessarily inferior to those of the imperial clans?
"Tell me, why would a prodigy like Lianxin attack Chiyao Heavenly Palace...?"
Someone murmured softly, but out of consideration for the fact that this was Chiyao Heavenly Palace's territory, they didn't say anything too outrageous, but no one responded.
yes.
After the great battle ended, the first thing Lianxin did was to storm the Chi Chiyao Heavenly Palace Chiyao Heavenly Palace and challenge its Holy Maiden by name.
No one knows why.
They gathered not only to watch the spectacle, but also to find out what exactly was going on!
Inside the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, Nangong Yaoyue, dressed in white, radiated colorful light, exuding the aura of a supreme saintess.
She held a sword in her hand, her expression solemn; she had been waiting there for quite some time.
Surrounded by a throng of people, Nangong Yaoyue remained unmoved, her gaze fixed solely on the direction of the entrance.
When she saw the girl in white walking towards her at the doorway, she gently closed her eyes, then opened them again, a profound sense of gravity welling up within her.
'She is... Lianxin...'
