Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 296 The Emperor's Invasion
"It's time to go out."

Shi An's lips curled up slightly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura suddenly became sharp.

He then took a step forward, his figure instantly disappearing from the altar, and the next moment, he reappeared outside.

However, what puzzled him was that a lot of people were heading towards one place, which surprised him but also aroused his curiosity, so he followed them.

Soon, he followed the crowd to the main lecture hall, and to his surprise, there were already many people gathered there, including Yunxi, Huoling'er, Qingyi, and even Fengwu.

"What happened?"

This scene puzzled Shi An, but when he saw the other group of people, he immediately understood, because there was a familiar figure among them—Yue Chan!
Indeed, it is the Holy Maiden of the Patching Heaven Sect—Yuechan, or rather, the main body of Yuechan.

Beside her was another being, surrounded by mysterious symbols, who appeared to be a very powerful being.

His eyes, in particular, were filled with interwoven silver symbols, captivating and seemingly able to see through everything.

This person is almost able to cultivate the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

"Emperor Chong..."

Upon seeing that person, Shi An muttered to himself, if he was not mistaken, this person should be Di Chong, the current successor of the Immortal Palace!

"It's Daozi! Daozi is here!"

"Taiyi... oh no, Senior Brother Shi'an is here!"

"Great! Senior Brother Shi An is here. He will definitely be able to stop that Immortal Palace successor from taking Senior Sister Qingyi away!"

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Shi An.

The previously noisy scene suddenly quieted down, followed by a burst of enthusiastic cheers. People's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, and they even automatically parted to make way for them.

Yuechan and Dichong also looked over at the sound, their gazes landing on Shi An.

A strange light flashed in Yuechan's eyes. To be honest, although she had heard of the other party's name in the lower realm, this was the first time they had actually met.

Meanwhile, the silver symbols in Di Chong's eyes flickered violently, as if he wanted to see through his opponent. But to his surprise, no matter how hard he tried to understand, he gained nothing. This made him tense up and become secretly wary.

"You are Shi An? I've heard quite a few rumors about you lately. Meeting you today, I see you have some interesting details."

Di Chong spoke first, his voice cold and tinged with a hint of provocation.

However, Shi An did not immediately answer Di Chong's words. Instead, he slowly walked towards where Yun Xi, Qing Yi and the others were standing, and with each step he took, his aura became stronger.

When he walked up to the group and turned to face Di Chong, he was enveloped in a hazy starlight, like a deity walking among mortals.

"Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect, successor of the Immortal Palace, may I ask what brings you to my Heavenly Immortal Academy?"

Shi An spoke softly, his voice carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Shi An's attitude caused Di Chong to frown. However, he still considered that this place was the Heavenly Immortal Academy and the other party was a Daoist disciple of the academy, so his tone was not too harsh. Instead, he said calmly, "Daoist disciple Shi An, we have already explained our purpose to your elders."

At this point, he turned to look at Yuechan beside him and spoke again: "Your esteemed Qingyi is actually the second incarnation of the fairy Yuechan beside me. I have come here today to bring her back to the Patching Heaven Sect, so that we may become one and jointly comprehend the Great Dao."

These words caused another uproar in the audience.

At the same time, Yuechan looked at Qingyi, who was being protected by Fengwu and Yunxi on either side, and reached out her hand, saying, "Come back. We are one, why resist?"

"Only by returning to one's true self and jointly exploring the Great Dao can one break through existing constraints, seek immortality, and ascend to that supreme realm."

Her voice was clear and ethereal, like celestial music, carrying an undeniable authority. She exuded an otherworldly aura, as if nothing in the world could catch her eye.

Shi An's gaze shifted between Yuechan and Qingyi. Qingyi's pretty face was frosty at the moment, and her eyes revealed stubbornness and unwillingness. She was clearly unwilling to merge with Yuechan.

Indeed, as soon as Yuechan finished speaking, Qingyi immediately said, "Fairy, you may be mistaken. My name is Qingyi, and I am not anyone's alternate body."

Qingyi's voice was clear and firm, echoing in the air and making the atmosphere even more tense.

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Wu, who was beside her, also spoke up: "Perhaps you two have really mistaken her for someone else. She is Qingyi, not someone else's incarnation."

Even if she is, why force her if she doesn't want to?!

After speaking, Feng Wu took a step forward, divine flames rising around her, clearly ready for battle.

Yunxi and Huoling'er also stepped forward at the same time, standing side by side with him to show their stance.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yuechan's gaze turned cold, but she quickly regained her composure and advised again, "Qingyi, we are one, why be so stubborn? Returning to our original bodies will benefit both of us, so why resist?"

On the contrary, Di Chong was even more anxious than Yue Chan. The silver runes in his eyes suddenly blazed brightly, and he said coldly, "Does the Heavenly Immortal Academy intend to make enemies of my Immortal Palace and the Heaven-Mending Sect?"

As for why he was more anxious than Yuechan, it was because this method of body differentiation was an ancient technique he had obtained by chance, and he did not want the other party to spread this secret technique and its weaknesses, as that would have a fatal impact on him.

In addition, he also wanted to learn from Yuechan's experience in his fusion process to avoid making mistakes.

"Fellow Daoist, your words are a bit too domineering."

Seeing that Di Chong actually wanted to escalate the conflict to the level of the two sects, Shi An frowned and then said, "Since Senior Sister Qingyi is a disciple of my academy, she is a member of my academy. Unless she is willing, no one can take her away!"

"After all, if my esteemed Heavenly Immortal Academy cannot even protect a single disciple, what face do I have to stand in the Three Thousand Continents?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi An's already powerful aura surged even higher, and the starlight around him flowed like a tangible substance, as if all the stars in the universe were trembling at the same time, as if a universe was floating behind him.

The aura was not ostentatious, yet it was as deep and boundless as an ancient war god resurrected, causing the souls of all the cultivators present to tremble.
He stared intently at Di Chong, showing no sign of backing down, as if he were ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Seeing this, Di Chong's face grew even more gloomy, and the mysterious symbols surrounding his body flickered erratically, emitting a chilling aura.

As a descendant of the Immortal Palace, he had always been high and mighty, and had never been so openly contradicted before, which made him very angry.
