Chapter 298 The Palace Master of Huangshan and Heroes Discussed on Lotus Peak
Looking at the situation on the field, the Peak Master of Refinement felt that things were going very well.

A smile played on his lips as he pointed at Yu Que and said:
"You scoundrel! You'd better quickly apologize to the fellow Daoists around you, as well as to those innocent people from the Shi family."

"You are all willing to let you off the hook today and not pursue the matter further; you should be grateful."

Yu Que paused slightly, but he did not disobey the Refinement Peak Master's order. He readily bowed to the surrounding immortals and said:

"Thank you for your forgiveness, seniors and fellow Daoists. I apologize."

Upon hearing the words of the master and disciple, the others immediately began to harbor resentment in their hearts:

"Who the hell said we should let bygones be bygones!"

"Hmph! Do you think you can shut us up and make this a trivial matter?"

Since no one dared to stand up and object just now, even fewer people would stand up to defend the injustice and uphold justice. They either watched coldly or sneered.

Immediately, the Peak Master whispered a few words to Yu Que, who then flicked his sleeves and called out to the people around him, chatting and joking together.

Yu Que then called out to Gong Dongxue and the others behind him, instructing them to quickly quell the chaos on the Shi family's ancestral peak.

To avoid internal chaos within their clan, which could lead to loss of life or property, and ultimately cause him to be blamed.

When things are almost done.

The Peak Master of Refinement returned from the Xuan Tu Venerable's place with a smile on his face, indicating that he had already greeted many people and the effect was quite good.

He also called out to Gong Dongxue in the crowd: "Gong girl, your master wants you to go back to the temple. Hurry up and go, lest he worry that I, Liandu Peak, have run away with you."

Upon hearing this, Gong Dongxue's face immediately flushed slightly.

After bowing to the Peak Master of Refinement and Yu Que, she immediately transformed into a ray of light and flew to the location of the Xuan Tu Venerable.

Upon hearing the conversation, Yu Que shifted his gaze and looked over, intending to bow to the Xuan Tu Master.

But when he looked over, Xuan Tu Shangren was already enveloped in a ball of dark light, seemingly unwilling to have any connection with Yu Que. Before Gong Dongxue could fly to him, he suddenly flew away into the distance.

Yu Que was slightly taken aback, but still cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the departing light of the other party.

The Peak Master of Refinement stood to the side, gazing at the retreating figures of the father and daughter, and clicked his tongue in disapproval:
"That old bastard is a hypocrite."

He keeps saying he wants you to be his son-in-law, but when there's even a slight chance, he worries his daughter will be kidnapped.

Upon hearing the words "daughter" from the Peak Master of Refinement, Yu Que raised an eyebrow, wondering if the rumors in the palace were true.
However, he didn't ask any more questions, lest he pique the curiosity of the Refinement Peak Master and have the other party gossip about his relationship with Gong Dongxue.

The master and apprentice noticed that the immortals on the surrounding mountains had mostly left, so they decided to head back and discuss the day's events in more detail.

The disciples who returned to Huangshan Dao Palace with Yu Que, although they each had their own roots when they left Huangshan, now that they are back, they have no intention of leaving again. Instead, they plan to simply follow Yu Que back to Liandu Peak to settle down.

Just as everyone had mustered their forces and were about to fly away, a scroll radiating golden light suddenly appeared and flew brightly to the Shi family's ancestral peak.

The moment the scroll appeared, the spiritual energy within a radius of thirty miles changed drastically, and the fortune on Shijia Mountain gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Shi family were immediately excited: "They flew from the direction of Lotus Peak."

"The imperial edict is undoubtedly the Palace Master's decree!"

The Refinement Peak Master, who had been smiling and laughing with Yu Que, turned serious when he saw the scroll of fortune in mid-air.

Although the imperial edict arrived but was not read aloud, everyone present understood that it was definitely for Yu Que.

The peak master of Liandu transmitted his voice to Yu Que: "This scroll comes with great fortune, and no one in the palace can imitate it. Even if it is not the palace master's, it must have come from Tiandu Peak or Guangming Peak."

"On your journey to this meeting... please remember to be cautious."

The expression on the face of the Refinement Peak Master changed, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he gave up.

Yu Que tilted his head back and squinted as he examined the golden scroll. He boldly probed it directly with his divine sense and indeed found a fierce and sharp magical power within it, almost equivalent to the magical power of the primordial spirit weapon in his hand.

This caused Yu Que's expression to change slightly: "It's not just the half-step Nascent Soul realm?"

For a moment, he even had the thought of defying the imperial decree and running away.

However, Yu Que was a native of Huangshan, with a clean background, and had not offended the Palace Master of Huangshan.

Even today, his killing of the true disciple of the Shi family in Huangshan can be seen as contributing to the reduction of powerful families in the Huangshan Taoist Palace.

The Palace Master of Huangshan summoned him this time, at most to give him a warning, there is absolutely no danger to his life or death.

After some thought, Yu Que decided to nod, bid farewell to the Refinement Peak Master, and head to Lotus Peak.

He was still thinking to himself, "Although I have to accept the invitation from the Palace Master, I can go without going up Lotus Peak. As long as I don't go up and fall into the trap, even if they want to capture me, they have no chance..."

Suddenly, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak stuffed something into his hand, which immediately disrupted his thoughts.

The other person, with a gentle smile on their face, placed the tall bronze incense burner into Yu Que's hands, and, holding Yu Que's arm, instructed:

"Hold on tight. If anything happens, there's no need to worry about us."

"The Huangshan lineage of spiritual cultivation will depend on you from now on."

Yu Que looked astonished. He looked down at the bronze furnace in his hand and could clearly sense an extremely rich spiritual energy and fire energy from it. Moreover, there were faint traces of energy within the bronze furnace that he could not see through.

"This is……"

He was now certain that the bronze furnace that the Refinement Peak Master had given him was undoubtedly the Xuanhuang Furnace inside the Refinement Peak!
The other party even brought out the most treasured artifact from the mountain gate this time, and now handed it over to him directly, saying something like "just in case."

Before Yu Que could say anything, the Peak Master of Refinement patted his shoulder and said softly:

"Well done, don't embarrass yourself! Go on."

Upon hearing this, Yu Que suppressed his emotions, nodded solemnly, took several steps back, and bowed deeply to the Peak Master of Refinement:
"Yes, Master, don't worry."

Immediately, Yu Que glanced at the disciples who had gone out to sea, his eyes stern, indicating that they should listen carefully to the instructions of the Refinement Peak Master. Then he transformed into a sword light and flew into the air.

Sure enough, as soon as he flew up, the imperial edict dimmed its light and slowly landed in front of him, unfolding.

“Announcing that the remaining true disciple has been granted an audience with Lotus Peak.”

"So be it." Several large golden characters appeared in mid-air, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Yu Que remained neither humble nor arrogant, but simply cupped his hands towards the imperial edict and said, "True disciple Yu Que receives the edict."

The imperial edict trembled upon receiving his bow; the characters melted away, transforming into a golden light that swayed and grew into a banner or pennant ten feet tall.

With such a large banner fluttering around him, and surrounded by surging immortal light and flowing immortal music, Yu Que flew towards Lotus Peak with great fanfare.

This scene caught the attention of the Shi family members, and a wave of wails and despair immediately washed over them.

In this scene, Lotus Peak didn't seem to be calling Yu Que over to hold him accountable at all; rather, it seemed more like they were calling him over to reward him for his merits.

Apart from the Shi family members, the other immortals in the mountain gate also changed color and had complicated expressions when they caught a glimpse of the golden banner beside Yu Que.

Yu Que naturally didn't pay much attention to these things. He thought and flew, and soon arrived in front of Lotus Peak.

But he arrived at the foot of Lotus Peak.

Upon arriving at this place, the oppressive force of the array on Lotus Peak entered Yu Que's perception.

He squinted at the towering mountain in front of him. With his current magical power, he could climb thousands of feet high in just a few leaps.

But he still thought to himself, "Does even I have to crawl on my legs like this?"

A buzzing sound filled the air. The golden banner that had led him there stood quietly to the side, its pole trembling occasionally, indicating that it was not an "inanimate object."

Seeing that the golden banner made no move, Yu Que had an idea. He quickly raised his magical power and enveloped his entire body.

Among them, the purple magic power was the most obvious, instantly turning him into a purple glow, his entire body turning purple.

Immediately, Yu Que was lifted into the air, slowly but irresistibly rising straight up.

As he soared into the air, a massive array of power coalesced around him, and even the sky above became filled with dark clouds and billowing smoke, as if a bolt of lightning would strike him down at any moment.

When Yuque and Lotus Peak were completely level, a rumbling sound filled the air, and lightning flashed in the clouds, with bursts of thunder and fire appearing and disappearing within them.

At this moment, every time Yu Que rises another half zhang, the momentum above his head will increase by half a zhang.

So he thought about it and decided not to provoke the formation here anymore. He simply moved his body along the ridge of Lotus Peak and slowly approached the summit.

However, as he approached, he also aroused the anger of the formation. Strands of lightning quickly streaked through the clouds, as if unwilling to let Yu Que fly closer.

Yu Que frowned deeply.

Fortunately, although he sensed some danger from the lightning above his head, it didn't reach the point where he felt a chill run down his spine.

So he squeezed the Xuanhuang Furnace in his hand, pondering whether he should stop in time or continue to defiantly fly forward.

Just then, a pleasant and gentle voice appeared in the sky above Lotus Peak:
"Alright. My disciples have come; how dare I stop them?"

With a whoosh, in Yu Que's naked eye, more than a dozen bolts of lightning flashed by, falling from the clouds and landing on the small Taoist temple in the center of the mountain peak.

The lightning bolt landed on the roof of the Taoist temple, rolling continuously with streaks of electricity moving about like snakes and worms.

The once somewhat dim roof of the Taoist temple suddenly became golden and dazzling.

Under the eaves of this Taoist temple, a tall, slender figure was looking up at the roof.

The moment Yu Que glanced at her, the other person noticed and turned their gaze towards her, nodding slightly.

When Yu Que saw this person, he couldn't even remember what he looked like.

All that came to mind was a pair of beautiful, gentle eyes, and combined with the voice she had just spoken, the Palace Mistress was indeed a gentle and graceful woman!
However, when he tried to take a closer look and recognize the palace master's appearance, he still couldn't remember.

Yu Que's mind was as if it were empty, or rather, the other person's appearance did not enter his eyes at all.

This miraculous scene astonished Yu Que, who immediately suppressed his ulterior motives.

According to ancient records, it is said that the gods of ancient times were so noble that ordinary people could not look directly at them. If they looked directly at them, they would only feel a blinding light or forget everything they saw.

Yu Que thought to himself with a mixture of surprise and doubt: "Is this Abbot of Huangshan Temple also 'incredibly noble'?"

Just as he was about to use the power of his primordial spirit weapon to enhance his physical eyes and see if he could see through the other person's appearance, those gentle eyes revealed a hint of reproach and spoke:
"Alright, you junior, don't you know that a woman's face should not be looked at directly again and again?"

Although he was blaming Yu Que, the other person's voice was open and honest, and he did not turn his head away, but continued to stand calmly in front of Yu Que.

Yu Que hesitated for a few moments, but still chose to give up using his primordial spirit power to forcibly see through the other party's appearance, since he wouldn't know anything even if he did.

He was secretly thinking to himself that if the abbot's appearance was truly extremely ugly, and he insisted on seeing through him, he would only make an enemy.

As he pondered, Yu Que descended from mid-air, standing neither servile nor arrogant beneath the Taoist temple. He bowed respectfully to the Master of Huangshan Palace, or rather, the Master of Huangshan Temple.
"This humble student, lacking in knowledge and skills, pays his respects to the Palace Master."

The Palace Master of Huangshan nodded, his voice tinged with amusement: "No need for formalities. I've heard your name several times today, and now that I've met you, you are indeed no ordinary person."

"Please come with me; I have already prepared tea in the temple. Let us sit down and talk."

After speaking, the other person turned around on his own, and like an ordinary person, pushed open the closed gate of the Taoist temple and left it wide open. Then he led Yu Que on foot to sit down in the courtyard of the Taoist temple.

There were two figures in the courtyard, but they were not their real bodies. Instead, they were formed from magical energy, one standing and the other standing on either side of a tea table.

The Palace Master of Huangshan took his seat, pointed to the two figures beside him, and said, "Don't worry too much about these two. They are also curious about you, but they don't have time to see you in person right now, so they just sent a wisp of their divine sense over to observe."

There will be a day in the future when we can formally meet."

The two figures were blurry, making it impossible to discern their size or facial features. They heard the words of the Palace Master of Huangshan Palace, nodded towards Yu Que, and then fell into a state of complete stillness, like scarecrows.

Yu Que bowed to the two figures and then took his seat.

As soon as I sat down, a refreshing fragrance wafted over me. It turned out that the Palace Master of Huangshan Palace had taken out a bowl of tea leaves, and the aroma emanated from the tea.

The other person looked up and saw the bronze censer that Yu Que was casually holding. A look of surprise immediately appeared on their face, and they said:

"Perfect timing! You also brought this Xuanhuang Furnace, which is perfect for brewing Lingwu Tea."

This will allow us to discuss and enjoy ourselves.
