Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 429 The Lively Purple Cloud City
She wore a white dress, her figure was slender, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind.

That beautiful and refined face seemed to gather all the beauty of heaven and earth. A strange light gray rune between her brows did not detract from her beauty; instead, it added a touch of mystery and ethereal charm.

Her gaze swept over everyone and landed directly on Xiao Bai.

His image was reflected in those clear, spring-like eyes, as if there was no room for anything else.

"noob."

A radiant smile slowly spread across Xiao Bai's jade-like face. She moved gracefully to stand before him, her black hair swaying slightly as sunlight streamed down, casting a soft glow upon her.

Xiao Bai was slightly dazed.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the Wan Yao Zhai in Qingshan Town, back to the Monster Mountain Range, and to the way she looked when he first met her.

"It seems you've had a great time this time."

The thunderous majesty in Xiao Bai's eyes quietly dissipated, transforming into a hint of gentleness and surprise. He could naturally sense that Little Fairy Doctor's aura had undergone a tremendous change.

The Little Fairy Doctor extended her slender fingers and gently touched the pale gray rune on her forehead. She smiled sweetly, and her fleeting charm caused many disciples below the stage, who had barely recovered from the oppressive aura, to momentarily lose their composure. She explained:
"That senior who left behind the relics had an extremely profound and mysterious understanding of poisonous bodies. I obtained most of her insights, plus the inheritance left by Senior Youlian, and... the balancing power you left behind when you helped me control the poison pill last time, as a catalyst..."

She paused, her eyes sparkling with confidence and brightness:

“I have already seen the path to the future. From now on, the Calamity Poison Body will not be a burden to me, but will become my greatest foundation for rapid advancement. I can control it at will, devour all the poisons in the world, and turn them into my own.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was genuinely happy for her.

"Congratulations, Xian'er."

Yun Yun then walked over, her beautiful face adorned with a sincere smile.

Although she and Little Fairy Doctor were not extremely close, they had similar personalities and were both very important people to Xiao Bai, so they naturally felt very close to each other.

"Thank you."

Little Fairy Doctor responded with a smile, and the two women naturally walked to the side and began to talk in hushed tones. Occasionally, soft laughter could be heard. One was as elegant as a cloud, and the other as beautiful as a fairy. Standing together, they were like a beautiful painting, which diluted the remaining solemn atmosphere in the square.

At this moment, the two immortals of Qinghua and Huayu walked over, looking at Xiao Bai with complicated expressions. Huayu's gaze lingered on Xiao Bai for a long time, her eyes filled with gratitude and shock.

Even though I had already learned from Elder Yao that Xiao Bai might have advanced to the level of a half-saint while at the Starfall Pavilion, seeing it with my own eyes gave me a completely different feeling.

"Xiao... Palace Master."

Hua Yu spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of complexity. Although she was a senior, she did not feel forced to call him "Palace Master" in the face of absolute strength and Xiao Bai's actual kindness to the Flower Sect.

The two immortals of Qinghua nodded slightly in acknowledgment, their attitude quite polite. Such is the reality of a world where strength reigns supreme.

Xiao Bai nodded in return, looked at the youthful-looking Hua Yu before him, and smiled:

"Congratulations on your resurrection, senior! Your long-standing illness has been cured, and your future is bright!"

Last time, some old guy specifically asked him for the essence of a Battle Saint's bones. How could he not know what he was thinking?
Pooh.
After giving the old doctor a disdainful look, he turned his gaze to Little Fairy Doctor and asked:

"Xian'er, how come you're with Senior Hua Yu and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor came over and explained:
"After leaving that ruin, I wanted to go to the Starfall Pavilion to thank Senior Yao. I happened to run into Senior Hua Yu, who had been resurrected and was preparing to return to the Flower Sect. I learned from them that something seemed to have happened in the Flower Sect, and remembering that Sect Master Yun was here, I came along to take a look."

Xiao Bai suddenly realized that after leaving Zixiao Palace, that old fellow Yao Lao did not go directly back to Xingyun Pavilion, but instead came to Huazong.

After a few casual words, Hua Yu's expression turned serious as she turned to face the many elders and disciples of the Hua Sect who were still in shock and silence below the stage.

She channeled her fighting spirit, her voice carrying an undeniable authority that clearly resonated throughout the entire square:

"All disciples of the Flower Sect, heed my command!"

All eyes instantly turned to her.

"Former acting sect leader Hua Jin colluded with other sects and rebelled against his superiors. He has been swiftly and decisively executed, which was entirely his own fault! From this day forward, Yun Yun is the sole sect leader of the Flower Sect. No one may raise any objections and must wholeheartedly assist her. Anyone who disobeys will be punished according to the sect rules!"

After a brief silence, her voice was followed by a burst of unified response from the audience:

"I will obey the old sect leader's orders!"

"Greetings, Sect Master Yunyun!"

"We will do our utmost to assist our sect leader!"

The voice was deafening, filled with utmost respect and obedience; no one dared to disobey.

Not to mention that Hua Yu, the former sect leader, still wields considerable influence within the sect, the two immortals of Qinghua clearly also support Yun Yun.

Just consider Yun Yun's own strength, and the terrifying, unfathomable power of her partner behind her... uh...

With Hua Jin and the Demon Flower Evil Lord's bodies nowhere to be found, who would dare to go up and risk trouble at this time?

Many elders who had secretly favored Hua Jin now kept their heads bowed low, their backs completely soaked with cold sweat, their hearts filled with only relief and lingering fear.

Looking at the submissive crowd below the stage, Yun Yun understood that the hidden dangers of the Flower Sect had finally been eliminated.

She looked at Hua Yu and Qing Hua, the two immortals, and nodded slightly in greeting.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Bai said to the others, "Now that things are over here, I will return to Zixiao Palace."

Yun Yun nodded gently: "Alright, you and Xian'er go ahead first. I will take care of the follow-up matters of the Flower Sect and then head to the Wind and Thunder Mountains as soon as possible to represent the Flower Sect at the ceremony."

Anyway, we'll see each other again soon, so there's not much sadness about parting.

Xiao Bai said no more, and with a gentle wave of his sleeve, a spatial force enveloped him and Little Fairy Doctor.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared silently from their original spot as if they had merged into the water, without causing the slightest spatial fluctuation.

……

Fenglei Mountain Range, Zixiao Palace.

Today, the Fenglei Mountains are filled with pavilions and towers built against the mountainside, one after another. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, cranes fly, waterfalls cascade, springs flow, and exotic flowers and herbs abound. The rich energy of heaven and earth, almost tangible, fills every inch of space.

On the outskirts of the mountains, a majestic city rises from the ground, its towering walls forged from obsidian-like material, gleaming with a calm luster in the sunlight.

Above the city gate, the three large, elegant characters "Zixiao City" stand majestically.

This is the outpost before entering the Fenglei Mountains to pay homage to the Zixiao Palace.

Today, Zixiao City is bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter.

The wide square in front of the city gate was bustling with activity, with various tamed flying magical beasts landing and taking off, and representatives from all directions arriving in an endless stream.

On the official road leading from the Northern Region to Zixiao City, several figures were hurrying along.

"Grandpa, we haven't received a formal invitation from Zixiao Palace. Would it be... inappropriate to go there so abruptly?"

A clear, crisp voice rang out, tinged with hesitation.

The speaker was a woman dressed in a silver dress, with a slender figure, snow-white skin, and a hint of unease on her delicate face. She was Han Yue.

She gazed at the majestic mountain range in the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The old man in front of her was none other than Han Fei, the patriarch of the Han family.

He sighed upon hearing this, turned to look at his granddaughter, who had grown into an increasingly beautiful young woman, and said with a hint of helplessness in his eyes:

"Since the destruction of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the Purple Cloud Palace has held fast to the Wind and Thunder Mountains. For the past few years, the Northern Region has been leaderless, with various forces vying for power, each vying to replace the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's former position, yet none able to command respect. This has caused widespread panic in the Northern Region, and my Han family has also been significantly affected." He paused, then continued:

"But a month ago, when the news spread that Zixiao Palace was going to hold its founding ceremony, countless families and forces in the Northern Region were in an uproar. This meant that Zixiao Palace, the true overlord of the Northern Region who had replaced Fenglei Pavilion, was finally going to officially stand in the limelight! This was a major event that would solidify the power structure of the Northern Region, and countless forces wanted to take this opportunity to submit to it, seeking protection or a backer. Although my Han family had some old friendship with Xiao... Palace Master Xiao, we could not be disrespectful. Even without an invitation, we had to come to show our Han family's position and our congratulations."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue gently bit her red lips, and the image of the black-robed youth involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

The young man who first entered Zhongzhou back then has now become a giant standing at the top of the continent, creating a top-tier power.

I felt both nervous and filled with an indescribable sense of anticipation.

"Sister, look! Such...such rich energy!"

At this moment, Han Yue's younger sister, Han Xue, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening as she pointed at the distant Fenglei Mountain Range.

Han Fei was stunned. He had been to the Fenglei Mountain Range before. Although the Fenglei Pavilion at that time was also impressive, it was completely different from the scene of this immortal holy land in front of him.

The almost liquefied energy clouds above the mountains, and the faintly emanating thunderous pressure, all demonstrated the extraordinary nature of this place.

"Truly... a masterpiece of craftsmanship."

Han Fei couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with countless thoughts.

All these changes stemmed from that young man.

A thought involuntarily crossed his mind: if he hadn't made that seemingly safe choice back then, would his relationship with the Han family be completely different today? Han Yue…

He remained silent for a moment, suppressing his distracting thoughts, and said, "Let's go, speed up, Zixiao City should be just ahead."

Before long, they arrived outside Zixiao City.

Looking at the towering, dark city walls, dozens of feet high, and the bustling, noisy scene in front of the city gate, the three members of the Han family were all deeply shocked.

There was a long line in front of the city gate.

Looking around, almost every team was led by a powerful Dou Zong expert with a strong aura, followed by several young disciples. The young people all had excited eyes and were curiously looking around. They were dressed in rich clothes and were obviously the elites of their respective families.

Here, even Battle Kings and Battle Emperors can only serve as guards and attendants.

"This...this is way too many people!" Han Xue exclaimed.

"Haha... Old Han! It really is you, you've come too!"

Just then, a loud voice rang out.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, but full of vigor, walked over with two young men, smiling.

Han Fei smiled when he saw the person approaching and went to greet him.
"Old Qi! You old rascal, you really live up to your wind attribute, you run fast, you've arrived so quickly."

"It had to be done soon!"

The elderly man, known as Old Qi, pointed to the densely packed crowd around him and sighed,
"Look at this scene. This time, more than 70% of the major families and forces in the Northern Region have come! Besides wanting to formally submit to the Purple Cloud Palace and seek its protection, there's something more important..."

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"There are reliable rumors that Palace Master Xiao of Zixiao Palace has reached the heavens in cultivation, and it is said that he may have already stepped into the legendary half-saint realm! Moreover, he does not seem to have any disciples yet. This time, eight out of ten of these old guys brought their most outstanding juniors from their clans to try their luck. If they are lucky enough to be noticed by Palace Master Xiao and taken as disciples, that would be a meteoric rise to the top!"

"Half Saint?!"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei was shocked. Although he had long suspected that Xiao Bai was extremely strong, he still found it hard to believe when he heard this rumor.

How long has it been since that young Dou Zong was born? He has grown to the point where he can now look down upon the entire continent! No wonder Zixiao City is so lively!

Seeing Han Fei's shocked expression, and then glancing at the graceful and aloof Han Yue and the pretty and lively Han Xue behind him, the elderly man surnamed Qi asked with some curiosity:

"What? Old Han, you didn't come here for this?"

A bitter look appeared on Han Fei's face. He shook his head and did not reply, his complex emotions growing stronger.

Just then, a commotion and exclamations suddenly arose from the crowd.

"Look! Another force has arrived!"

"People from the Starfall Pavilion, the Myriad Swords Pavilion, the Yellow Springs Pavilion, and even the Burning Flame Valley have come before. I wonder who will be here this time?"

As everyone looked up, they saw several streaks of light piercing the sky, falling like shooting stars, and finally coming to a steady stop in front of the gates of Zixiao City.

As the light faded, several figures were revealed. Leading them was a beautiful woman in palace attire, followed by two elderly men dressed as alchemists, with a small pagoda symbol on their sleeves.

"Dandan Tower?!"

"Tsk tsk, even a force of this caliber has come to offer congratulations. The power of Zixiao Palace is truly..."

Just then, a streak of light flashed out from inside the gates of Zixiao City, revealing a girl dressed in a light purple dress.

She stepped forward, gave a graceful bow to the man in black, and smiled politely.

"Qinglin of Zixiao Palace greets Senior Xuanyi."

Xuan Yi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. The girl in front of her had a beautiful and lively appearance. She was actually a Dou Zun powerhouse, and not just any ordinary Dou Zun.

"The Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil?!"

She looked at Qinglin's emerald green eyes, in which she could vaguely see three small flowers. She was slightly startled. Little Fairy Doctor had the Calamity Poison Physique, and now there was another one with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. She really didn't know where Xiao Bai found these monstrous physiques, and each one of them was exceptionally beautiful!

"You have a good eye, senior!"

Qinglin smiled slightly, exchanged pleasantries with Xuanyi, and then summoned a disciple from Zixiao Palace to lead the Danta group into the city.

She stood at the city gate, not immediately returning to the city. Her peculiar emerald eyes shifted slightly, and after a moment, her gaze accurately swept over the crowd, landing in the direction where Han Yue and Han Fei were.

Being stared at by a Dou Zun powerhouse, Han Fei and the old man surnamed Qi immediately felt a surge of tension and quickly bowed respectfully.

The younger generation behind them didn't dare to utter a sound.

Qing Lin's gaze lingered on Han Yue for a moment, then a faint smile bloomed on her face, instantly diminishing her majesty as a Dou Zun, leaving many around her stunned.

She moved gracefully, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, walked up to the Han family members. Her voice was clear and melodious as she smiled and said:

"You must be Miss Han Yue?"

As soon as he said this, countless envious, jealous, and inquisitive glances were cast around him.

Han Fei and the old man surnamed Qi were stunned on the spot, especially Han Fei, whose heart was instantly filled with tremendous joy and an indescribable complex emotion.

He... he actually still remembers Yue'er?
Han Yue suddenly raised her head, looking at Qing Lin in disbelief. Two blushes instantly rose on her fair cheeks, and her heart began to race.

He...he knew I was coming?
Seeing their reaction, Qinglin smiled sweetly and gestured for them to proceed.

"Everyone, Sister Xian'er instructed that if anyone from the Han family comes, there is no need to wait in line here. Please follow me."

Han Yue was stunned. The elation that had just risen in her heart instantly turned into endless disappointment. It turned out that it was not him, but Little Fairy Doctor.

Han Fei also recalled the white-haired woman who had stayed at the Han family's residence for several months. He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and quickly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you so much, Lord Qinglin!"

The old man surnamed Qi watched with great envy, but could only watch helplessly as the Han family members followed that Dou Zun into Zixiao City without any hindrance.
