Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Yun Family Hall was somewhat heavy.
All the Yun Clan Elders were gathered there, while outside, a crowd of clan disciples packed the place so tightly that not even water could pass through.
The flying vessel, shimmering with immortal light and wreathed in divine radiance, seemed like something from beyond the heavens. The obscure aura of its formations alone made the hearts of many Yun Family members pound with fear.
But that was not what frightened and shocked them most.
It was the young man sitting in the seat of honor, as transcendent and unworldly as a Banished Immortal.
Their eldest young lady, the Holy Daughter of the Returning Origin Holy Land, stood respectfully behind Su Changge like a maidservant, even pouring his tea and water!
"Divine Son, this is White Spirit Immortal Tea that your servant specially prepared. Please have a taste."
In truth, Yun Xinyan was genuinely delighted. Although she was the Holy Daughter of the holy land, her status fell a hundred and eight thousand miles short of Su Changge's.
Standing behind Su Changge were the entire Returning Origin Holy Land and its many ancestors. This was something she could never attain merely by envying him.
For such a figure to visit her home in person-what an honor was that?
Servant? Divine Son?
Their eldest young lady actually called herself a servant?
And what was a Divine Son?
Everyone in the hall heard those words, and their pupils contracted in unison as they drew sharp breaths.
"They are all juniors who have never seen the world. I am afraid they have made a spectacle of themselves before you, my lord," the Yun Clan Head said with a wry smile. As Yun Xinyan's father, he naturally knew Su Changge's formidable identity.
For his daughter to become this lord's maidservant could well be called a blessing the Yun Family had cultivated over hundreds, even thousands of years!
"It is nothing."
Su Changge smiled casually, naturally unbothered by such a trivial matter.
In truth, he felt quite awkward. His maidservant wanted to catch up with her father, so what was he doing standing around here?
"Xin Yan, you have not seen your father in a long time. Have a good chat."
"I will take a look around."
Then Su Changge set down his teacup and rose from his seat.
His expression was calm and gentle, seemingly without any airs. He made others feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze, like a refined, easygoing young gentleman.
In truth, everyone understood perfectly well that this was lofty superiority held in reserve.
The gentle air he displayed on the surface was merely a reflection of good upbringing.
Or perhaps he was simply showing consideration for his maidservant.
"Is Yun Xinyan of the Yun Family here?"
"Luo Yan has come to fulfill our agreement!"
Just then, a shout came from outside the Yun Family Residence.
Looking toward the voice, they saw a young man with delicate features standing before the Yun Family gates, his hands clasped behind his back.
Beside him stood an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Su Changge raised an eyebrow. His delivery had arrived rather quickly.
He quietly activated the Aura Eye, golden runes flowing through his eyes.
A line of golden text slowly appeared above each of the two people opposite him.
Luo Yan, fortune points: 256.
Luo Qingyu, fortune points: 198.
Their fortune points are quite high. Su Changge was delighted. Buy one, get one free? What a bargain!
Luo Qingyu and Luo Yan also noticed the white-robed Su Changge at that moment.
Su Changge's bearing and looks were simply too eye-catching!
Even Luo Qingyu briefly lost herself the instant she saw Su Changge. She saw a Banished Immortal descending into the mortal world, his handsome face seemingly unreal!
"So this must be the so-called young lord you follow."
"You acted so high and mighty before me back then, never even looking me in the eye. Now you have actually become someone else's plaything. How laughable."
Luo Yan's face was full of mockery, and he spoke without restraint.
"Luo Yan, watch your filthy mouth!"
"The Divine Son has always guided my cultivation and has never taken liberties with me."
"Even if the Divine Son truly wanted to do something to me, I would be willing!"
After saying that last sentence, Yun Xinyan froze. Even she had not expected herself to say such words! Her pretty face then flushed crimson.
At this sight, Luo Yan trembled all over with rage. Although they were about to dissolve their engagement, they were still nominally betrothed. Was this not humiliating him in public?
"Yun Xinyan! Even now, you are dragging out some fictitious Divine Son to humiliate me!"
"Are you looking down on me?!"
"There is no need for these petty tricks. Let us fight!"
As his words fell, Luo Yan unleashed surging waves of spiritual energy, his black hair flying, his expression furious.
"How could people like you understand Brother Luo's excellence? You truly have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai." Luo Qingyu gently linked her arm through Luo Yan's, mocking them without restraint.
"Insolence! How dare you insult the Divine Son?!"
Yun Xinyan unleashed her spiritual energy, and a Water Phoenix coalesced around her. Blue mist drifted ethereally about her, making her seem like a Divine Daughter descending from the heavens.
Her aura was even a little stronger than Luo Yan's.
She was just about to teach Luo Yan a lesson when Su Changge stopped her with one hand.
"Fictitious?"
A smile played on Su Changge's lips. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked at Luo Yan with an amused expression.
Honestly, he found it rather funny. Earlier, he had even deliberately estimated Luo Yan's cultivation, thinking that a prodigy who was Fortune's Child should at least be in the Sealed Emperor Realm.
But now it appeared that the other party was merely in the early Purple Mansion Realm. This offered him no challenge whatsoever.
In truth, it was not that Luo Yan's talent was too poor, but that Su Changge was simply too terrifying!
Every breakthrough brought forth phenomena of heaven and earth, and advancing an entire major realm was as easy as eating and drinking.
"What? You want to stand up for her?"
"I advise you to keep your nose out of this, or you will die a miserable death!"
Luo Yan wore a disdainful expression. He had not sensed Su Changge's cultivation and assumed it was little different from his own.
"I will die a miserable death?"
"Interesting. I would like to see..."
Su Changge slowly stepped forward. With every step, his aura grew more terrifying!
"Just what gives you the right to be so arrogant."
Boom!
A terrifying pressure from heaven and earth descended in an instant!
Ancient sounds of the Dao seemed to thunder, and the vast power of blood and vital energy emanating from the white-robed young man even made the void slowly twist!
But it was not over yet.
Hum!
Immediately afterward, a heaven-surpassing Sword Intent erupted from the white-robed young man!
It was as though hundreds of millions of streams of sword energy had formed throughout this stretch of heaven and earth, the terrifying sword energy descending like heavenly punishment!
The aura of destruction and death filled the hearts of everyone in Wind Cloud City!
Rumble!
Wind Cloud City trembled and rumbled. Even the city-protecting formation flickered incessantly under that terrifying aura before actually disintegrating inch by inch!
At that moment, cries of alarm, pleas, and wails mingled throughout Wind Cloud City!
Many people even knelt and kowtowed toward the sky, thinking they had done something wrong and angered the Heavenly Dao!
And so the Heavenly Dao was bringing heavenly punishment down upon them!
The Yun Family's many clan disciples were trembling like chaff in a sieve.
Luo Yan and Luo Qingyu had also turned deathly pale. This was a Sealed Emperor Realm power far beyond all reason!
Looking toward the source of that terrifying aura, they felt that the man who had resembled a Banished Immortal truly seemed to have come from the Immortal Domain!
He was not someone from the same world as them at all!
But suddenly, an inexplicable aura spread around Luo Yan, dissipating part of Su Changge's pressure out of thin air.
How keen were Su Changge's senses? He immediately detected something unusual.
It was a green Jade Pendant hanging at Luo Yan's waist. It seemed to be covered in inexplicable restrictions, and faint soul fluctuations came from deep within it.
What a clichéd setup. Just like an old man in a ring, something like a soul residing in an object.
[Ding! A new choice mission has been detected. Option one: seize the Jade Pendant. Reward: part of the Heaven River Great Emperor's inheritance. Option two: give up the Jade Pendant. Reward: Nine Profound Spirit Gathering Pill.]
In that case, the opportunity behind Luo Yan's meteoric rise was connected to this.
He had not expected this Jade Pendant to truly be connected to the Great Emperor's Tomb. What an unexpected gain!
Just one stalk of chives has triggered two choice missions. I have to say, Fortune's Child really is irresistible!
Su Changge was immensely excited, and he looked at Luo Yan as though he had spotted a walking treasury.
Seeing Su Changge staring at the Jade Pendant at his waist, Luo Yan became even more guarded, as though facing a formidable enemy. "What are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do?" Su Changge smiled faintly. "You have offended this Divine Son. Do you think you need not pay a price?"
"Hand over the Jade Pendant at your waist, and I will spare your life."
"Impossible!" Luo Yan refused decisively. This Jade Pendant was the very foundation of his rise, and it even held a great secret!
