Upon hearing his father’s words, Bai Yu Xuan knew his father was truly furious. He hastily replied, “Yes, father!” At this time, he could only temporarily compromise even if he was unwilling. He would not let the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect go, but he would compromise for now. ‘So what if you’re the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? I, Bai Yu Xuan, swear that I will never let you leave the Alchemy City of Barren Land alive!’
Although Bai Yu Xuan decided to temporarily compromise in front of the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, his hatred did not diminish at all.
A sly expression flitted across his face as he thought to himself, ‘Judging by the time, my Soul Pearl that is in father’s possession only has half a month left before the energy in it runs out.’
The Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, naturally, did not notice his son’s expression. When he saw his son’s att.i.tude softening, his tone became less harsh as well. After all, Bai Yu Xuan was his only son. He did not like seeing his son being wronged as well. “If that’s all, you can take your leave now. Mind your behavior and stop getting into trouble within the next month.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu Xuan remained silent and took his leave.
…
Outside Alchemy City.
“Third Senior Sister, we’re here… Alchemy City lies before us,” a green-clad girl said to a woman next to her as they descended from the sky. Her voice was as melodious as a silver bell.
The other woman wore a simple purple robe. Her eyebrows were like the feathers of a peac.o.c.k, and her skin was as fair as snow. Her waist was slender as well. Her face was half-hidden by a veil, only her limpid eyes could be seen. Her temperament was extraordinary that everything in the surroundings dimmed in comparison. Her veil was slightly translucent so the outline of her face could be vaguely seen. This only added to her charm, filling people with the urge to lift the veil so they could see her face. One could only imagine how much more beautiful she would be without a veil hiding her face.
“Indeed,” the purple-clad woman said with a slight smile on her face. Her smile was like a delicate blooming flower, capable of enchanting anyone who saw it.
Seeing the purple-clad woman’s smile, the green-clad girl fell into a momentary daze. She said with a sigh, “Third Senior Sister, you’re really beautiful.”
“Trying to flatter me, huh? Are you short of Celestial Crystals?” The purple-clad woman shook her head and smiled.
“Third Senior Sister, how can you doubt me? My compliment is sincere. Moreover, I’ve asked for a lot of Celestial Crystals from master this time around so I don’t need to ask you for more,” the green-clad girl said smugly.
Another woman who was standing nearby said irritable, “Lyu Luo, you’ve been chattering incessantly throughout our journey… We can finally get some peace and quiet after we settle down in Alchemy City.” This woman could also be considered a beauty in her own right. However, her beauty was outshone by the purple-clad woman.
The green-clad girl made a silly face as she looked at the other woman before she said with a smile, “Senior Sister Xiao, sect leader and senior aunt have said that all of you are lucky to have me on this trip. Otherwise, you’d be bored to death. Are you saying that sect leader and senior aunt are wrong?”
The pretty woman was rendered speechless by the green-clad girl’s words. She, naturally, did not dare to say that her master was wrong.
“Lyu Luo, you really have a glib tongue. Xiao Ping was just joking with you,” a beautiful woman, who seemed to be the leader of the group, said, trying to diffuse the situation.
“Senior aunt, I was just joking with Senior Sister Xiao as well.” The green-clad playfully stuck out her tongue.
“You…” The beautiful woman only shook her head helplessly as she led the group into Alchemy City. This beautiful woman wore a white robe that was embroidered with many lotuses. The people in her group were all women. There were three old women, two middle-aged women, and three young women in the group. Including her, there were ten people in the group.
As they approached the gate of Alchemy City, a thought appeared in the white-clad woman’s mind. She looked at the purple-clad woman and asked, “Bing’er… Why did you decide to come to Alchemy City to partic.i.p.ate in the Alchemy Conference this time around? In the past, you’ve never been interested in this kind of event.”
“Senior aunt,” the purple-clad woman replied, “I received a Communication Celestial Talisman from Shu Qiu saying that she’ll be attending the conference as well.”
“Shu Qiu?” The white-clad woman was slightly taken aback. Then, she said with a slight smile, “You mean the girl from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect in the Wasteland? As it turns out, she invited you to come along. I was wondering why you’re suddenly interested in alchemy.” After that, she glanced at the green-clad girl who was standing next to the purple-clad girl and said, “If it weren’t for you, Lyu Luo definitely wouldn’t have come along.”
“Of course… I definitely wouldn’t come if Third Senior Sister didn’t come,” the green-clad girl said.
When the group of women entered Alchemy City, they successfully attracted the attention of the crowd. It was only natural since this group of women was simply too eye-catching.
The white-clad woman who was in the lead was graceful and n.o.ble. She exuded a sense of superiority, it was clear that she was an elite. Moreover, one of the old women standing behind her would constantly scan their surroundings, clearly wary.
When the old woman’s gaze swept past them, they felt a chill running up their spines.
In addition, two of the three young women were rare beauties. Although one of them was still young, one could tell she would grow up into a beauty in the future. In fact, it was easy to see she would be on par with the other beautiful women in the group.
The most eye-catching person in the group was, naturally, the purple-clad woman. Although her face was partially hidden by a veil, based on her eyes, brows, and the vague outline of her face, one could tell she was a great beauty.
With all these factors, how could this group of women not attract everyone’s attention?
“Who are they…?”
“Are they from one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions?”
“This group of people are all women… In the Six Southeastern Regions, there are only two top sects that are composed of all women.”
“One of the sects is the Colored Glaze Celestial Sect of Light Region, and the other one is the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect of General Region.”
The pa.s.sersby discussed among themselves as they looked at the group of women who had just entered the city. Based on the temperament of this group of women, most of them guessed the women were from one of the two all-women top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions.
“In the Six Southeastern Regions, the only person who matches the description of the purple-clad woman is Murong Bing from the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect, right?” a middle-aged man muttered to himself as he looked at the back of the purple-clad woman. Although he did not speak loudly, most people in his surroundings heard his words.
“Murong Bing?”
“If the purple-clad woman is Murong Bing, then, this group of women is from the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect!”
“Speaking of this… The beautiful white-clad woman walking in the lead seems to match the description of the Sect Leader of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect as well.”
As some speculated that the purple-clad woman was Murong Bing, there were also people who speculated the white-clad woman walking in the lead was the Sect Leader of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
A young man said, “She’s Murong Bing? Indeed, she’s as beautiful as the rumor says… Among all the women I’ve seen in the Six Southeastern Regions, she’s probably the second most beautiful woman in regard to appearance and bearing.”
Many people heard the young man’s words.
One person asked, “You’ve seen someone who’s more beautiful than Murong Bing?”
“Yes.” The young man nodded and pointed ahead of him. “I met that woman on that street in front of us recently.”
“Recently? The street in front? Are you talking about the white-clad woman with the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? They had a conflict with the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, right?” an old man asked.
“That’s right,” the young man said with a lovestruck expression on his face, “That woman is definitely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life… Both her appearance and figure are perfect. She is flawless! ”
“I have also heard people talking about that woman. They described her just as you did… It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see her.”
“What’s the rush? The people from Tai Yi Celestial Sect must have come to partic.i.p.ate in the Alchemy Conference… During the conference, you’ll definitely be able to see her.”
“You’re right. I’ll be able to see her at that time!”
Meanwhile, the green-clad girl also heard the discussions in her surroundings. She was clearly upset by the words she heard. “So what you’re saying is there a woman who’s more beautiful than my Third Senior Sister?”
