Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 710 Heavenly Venerable's Palace

"Master."

The Empress nodded and bowed.

The moment the two venerable ones locked eyes, the void trembled and the Daoist sounds boomed.

Countless cultivators held their breath, their expressions filled with excitement, as if they were witnessing the beginning of a glorious era for the human race.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

At the same time, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from the depths of the Holy Heaven Academy, and ripples spread through the void, as if they could wash away all the worldly dust.

As the nine bells, symbolizing the highest level of ceremony at the Holy Heaven Academy, rang out, the ninety-nine jade steps in front of the academy lit up one by one.

The elders of the academy stood on either side. At this moment, these human giants had solemn expressions. The three elders at the head each held a jade plate, on which were arranged three treasures.

On the left jade plate is a seven-colored pill that exudes Daoist energy; in the middle jade plate is a jade slip that emits golden light; and on the right is a set of golden clothes with Daoist light flowing over them—clearly a Daoist artifact!
"Dao Wen Pill, Tai Xu Dharma Robe, and this jade slip signifies the identity of the Vice Dean of the Holy Heaven Academy."

The Heavenly Venerable Lord of the Palace gestured and said, "Emperor Yan, please."

The Empress's eyes trembled slightly. She knew that once she accepted this generous gift, she would have to shoulder an enormous responsibility.

However, after only a brief hesitation, the Empress stepped onto the jade steps with exceptionally firm steps.

As the Empress and the Heavenly Venerable Lord of the Palace entered the Holy Heaven Academy, the cultivators on the street lingered, reluctant to leave.

Qin Yu did not follow the Empress into the depths of the Holy Heaven Academy, but instead went with Su Qingyue to that elegant little courtyard.

As soon as she landed, Qin Yu felt a cold gaze fall on her, and a sense of extreme danger welled up in her heart.

Following the source of the sense of crisis, a familiar figure came into view.

Her figure was as upright as a spear, her body clad in armor that outlined her proud and agile silhouette. The armor was marked with sword marks, adding to her air of menace.

His facial features were sharp and resolute, with perfect facial features and a neat short haircut, making him look dashing and heroic.

After some time apart, Zhou Qingtong's murderous aura had become even stronger. With each breath, a faint blood-red mist swirled around her, a tangible killing intent condensed from the slaughter of countless powerful enemies.

I have no idea how much bloodshed she has committed in the Dark Prison Realm during this period.

"Sister, when did you get back?"

Su Qingyue's eyes lit up, but she showed no intention of moving away from Qin Yu.

"Just these two days."

Zhou Qingtong's voice was cold, and she looked at the two people who were almost leaning against each other with displeasure.

It's one thing for Su Qingyue to be ignorant, but can't this guy even see what he means?

This kind of delicate-skinned man clearly lacks a fierce and ruthless spirit. I really don't know where he got the courage to step into the Tianfu Continent.

Qin Yu originally wanted to say hello, but seeing the latter's attitude, he had no interest in trying to curry favor with him.

"Qingyue, will the Medicine Granny let me stay here? Where should I rest?"

Facing Zhou Qingtong's watchful gaze, Qin Yu did not back down and even took the initiative to ask the fairy-eyed girl a question.

"You can rest here; the room next to your sister's is empty."

Without thinking, Su Qingyue pointed to the side.

"boom!"

Before the words were even finished, a whip flashed by, and the hut collapsed instantly.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Su Qingyue's mouth gaped slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

Zhou Qingtong frowned slightly, looking at the girl's appearance, not knowing how to explain. After all, Qin Yu had saved her life, so she couldn't just send her away, could she?

Moreover, it was Grandma Yao who tacitly allowed him to come with his sister.

"Don't get too close to Qingyue."

Zhou Qingtong took a deep breath, turned around, and headed towards her room, out of sight, out of mind. "Qin Yu, this is how I treat others, you...you're not angry, are you?"

Su Qingyue looked at Qin Yu with some worry.

In the Great Yan Imperial Palace, Xiao Ling'er and the others treated her very warmly. As a result, Qin Yu had just arrived, and her older sister treated her this way, which made her a little embarrassed.

"will not."

Qin Yu smiled, looking at the girl's worried and self-reproachful expression, and couldn't help but raise his arm and habitually pat the girl's head.

Su Qingyue was taken aback, but she did not resist Qin Yu's actions at all. In fact, the comfortable feeling under such contact made her feel relaxed all over, and she almost couldn't help but groan.

At the same time, a muffled groan came from inside the room.

Zhou Qingtong leaned against the door, her beautiful, cool eyes filled with confusion.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Qingtong clenched her fists, her blood boiling.

What is this feeling?

In that instant, every pore of her body felt incredibly comfortable. Even her heart, which had become somewhat numb from years of killing, felt as if it had found a safe haven and been soothed, experiencing extraordinary peace.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make you not blame yourself."

After realizing what had happened, Qin Yu withdrew her hand.

Having spent so much time with Xiao Ling'er and Tu Jiujiu, this action has almost become a habit.

Luckily, that evil spirit didn't see it, otherwise, he would have already lashed out with his bone whip.
"It's okay, I like it this way."

Su Qingyue narrowed her eyes into cute crescent shapes, and even took his big hand and placed it on her head.

Inside the room, Zhou Qingtong's body instantly stiffened, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

She really wanted to run out and see what had happened, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would raise the bone whip to drive the guy away.

Qin Yu was brought here personally by the Great Yan Emperor, so this behavior was extremely rude.

……

Heavenly Venerable's Palace.

The furnishings are simple and rustic; here, even time seems to become gentle.

"Om..."

Without much small talk, Lord Zhu waved his sleeve, and a screen of light appeared in the hall.

Within the light curtain, a pillar of light, interwoven with black and red, shot into the sky. Within it, one could vaguely see a human half-saint and several giants struggling desperately before being completely swallowed up.

A raging, malevolent aura surged forth, and a towering figure could be vaguely seen standing tall.

"This is a scene that a half-saint sent back two days ago."

The Zhu family head's expression hardened slightly as he slowly said, "The one who made the move is none other than the ruler of the Wugu Domain, the place where Emperor Yan last went: Seven Jackals."

"Is the Sovereign also at the Venerable Realm?"

The Empress nodded, a divine light flashing in her eyes.

Lord Zhu nodded, his voice becoming more solemn: "For nearly a thousand years, the Great Dao has withered, and it is he who has been secretly causing this."

Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Is it this alien race that is secretly spying on the Great Dao, causing such a great impact on the Immortal Kingdom continent?

"However, with the revival of the Great Dao, his thousand-year plan was ruined in an instant, and he himself must have suffered a Dao injury."

Lord Zhu took a deep breath and said slowly, "The most troublesome thing is the malevolent energy he controls."

Even those at the Venerable Realm are extremely wary of malevolent energy.
