The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 409 Sang Xiyao from the Heavenly Palace arrives, the secret realm is about to open... The people of the Heavenly Curtain Palace reappear! Is Lu Ye in danger?
"Hehe, Brother Quan, my friendship with the fellow Daoist brought by Fairy Qingyin can be described as a case of 'no fight,' and there is no enmity between us," Qu Kai said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Qu is so magnanimous!" said a cultivator at the Martial Arts Grandmaster level who wanted to curry favor with Qu Kai.

If Qu Kai's strength could connect him with a martial arts grandmaster-level power, it would be a great help.

Following that, several martial arts masters who wanted to establish a relationship with Qu Kai also offered their flattering words.

Upon hearing these words, Qu Kai's smile widened even further.

What is forbearance? What is surprise attack?
Qu Kai felt that his current behavior perfectly matched the meaning of that statement.

Just as Qu Kai was feeling smug, a faint commotion came from the distant horizon.

The ethereal, otherworldly music seemed to emanate from the clouds, bringing a sense of tranquility and joy.

Immediately, the expressions of many people in the valley became solemn.

The people from the Heavenly Palace... have arrived.

Sure enough, a moment later, the figures of the Lingyao Heavenly Palace group appeared on the horizon, rapidly heading towards this place.

Looking up at the sky, Lu Ye noticed a woman dressed in silver robes standing out among the group.

It was none other than Sang Xiyao, the silver-ranked envoy she had met before in the Eastern Territory and on the Heavenly Palace Floating Island.

Unexpectedly, she was leading the team again this time.

"Greetings, Heavenly Palace Envoy!"

"Greetings, Silver Medal Envoy..."

Immediately, greetings rang out in the valley, and Lu Ye, among the crowd, clasped his hands in greeting to Sang Xiyao.

Sang Xiyao gracefully arrived above this celestial realm, her beautiful eyes sweeping downwards...

At this moment, because Lu Ye was participating in the Yunyao Secret Realm, the mask still revealed the appearance of Chen Beixuan.

This appearance was the same one he had when he accompanied Sang Xiyao to the Lingyao Heavenly Palace, and Sang Xiyao recognized him as well.

Therefore, as her eyes darted around, she spotted Lu Ye standing somewhere, and immediately, Sang Xiyao nodded slightly in response.

After all, Lu Ye had previously received a personal invitation from the Palace Master.

If he had agreed back then, he would already be a member of the Heavenly Palace by now.

Qu Kai's location wasn't too far from Lu Ye's.

When Qu Kai saw the silver-plated envoy from Lingyao Heavenly Palace nod slightly in his direction, he followed the envoy's gaze and his heart tightened.

How does it feel...

It seems the envoy is greeting Xiao Qingyin?

Could it be that they know the Silver-Rank Envoy of the Heavenly Palace?!

Upon considering this possibility, Qu Kai felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

If that's the case, wouldn't they face danger if they tried to ambush and kill Xiao Qingyin and her companion inside the secret realm?

At that moment, in the sky above, Sang Xiyao noticed that when she nodded in acknowledgment, many slightly strange gazes immediately fell upon her from the valley below.

After thinking for a moment, to avoid these people from overthinking, the silver-plated messenger from the Heavenly Palace simply nodded slightly in all four directions.

It's like giving a general greeting to all the cultivators participating in the secret realm.

Seeing this, Qu Kai, who had been suspicious just moments before, immediately felt relieved.

"I knew it! With their strength, how could they possibly have any connection with the Heavenly Palace?"

Qu Kai sneered inwardly. If that's the case, once they enter the secret realm, even if these two scream their lungs out, no one will be able to save them!
"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the Yunyao Secret Realm. You are all elite talents of Xuanzhou. Although the opportunities in the secret realm need to be fought for, the Heavenly Palace also hopes that you will try your best to maintain harmony and not easily damage the peace."

After a brief, standard opening, Sang Xiyao immediately led the hundred or so powerful cultivators from the valley to another location. Half an hour later…

Looking up at the sky, Sang Xiyao closed her eyes and sensed for a while before speaking.

"Fellow Daoists, the timing is not quite right yet. Please be patient and wait a little longer."

Just then, another commotion came from afar.

Two figures moved at incredible speed, seemingly weaving through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at this place.

Upon seeing these two people, Lu Ye's expression subtly changed.

These two people were none other than the people from the Heavenly Curtain Mansion that they had encountered that night when they reached the top of the Eastern Cang Stone Tablet Ranking!
Two Grandmasters at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm!
Unexpectedly, these two also arrived here before the secret realm opened.

Upon their arrival, the two people from the Heavenly Curtain Palace immediately began searching the area, which contained nearly a hundred cultivators.

A moment later, when they saw Lu Ye standing in the crowd, a fierce glint appeared in their eyes.

That night, Lu Ye escaped, but this time... he won't be so lucky.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Sang Xiyao, who was standing in front, frowned slightly and said in a clear voice, "Why have you people from Tianmu Mansion come here?"

Recalling that night when he came to escort Lu Ye, it seemed like the people from the Heavenly Curtain Mansion were targeting Lu Ye...

Sang Xiyao immediately frowned, and a terrifying aura as deep as the ocean was revealed on her body, directly pressing down on the two mortal realm grandmasters from the Heavenly Curtain Palace!

"This place is full of people invited by my Heavenly Palace to participate in the Yunyao Secret Realm. Anyone who dares to attack them at this time... is going against my Heavenly Palace!"

He was suppressed by the imposing aura of a silver-ranked messenger who was a Grandmaster at the late Earth Realm.

The two Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm, at the ninth level, from the Heavenly Curtain Palace immediately turned pale, unable to withstand the pressure.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly each pulled out a small, exquisite token.

"Your Excellency, you misunderstand. We have no ill intentions. We are here to participate in this secret realm!"

Sang Xiyao frowned as she looked at the tokens the two men had pulled out.

Regarding the Yunyao Secret Realm, their Lingyao Heavenly Palace did not distribute any tokens to the forces in the Hidden Spirit Land.

This shows that the tokens they possessed were definitely not obtained through legitimate channels.

only……

When Lingyao Heavenly Palace issued the tokens, it did not specify that the person in question had to be present.

In principle, anyone who possesses the token and meets the required strength can enter the secret realm.

This unwritten rule has been in place for decades.

Therefore, seeing the two Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm from the Heavenly Curtain Palace directly take out their tokens, Sang Xiyao could only nod helplessly.

"Since you possess the tokens, then go down and wait... Remember, you are all the backbone of Xuanzhou, and you must not easily kill each other."

The next moment, the two Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm from the Heavenly Curtain Palace put away their tokens and landed among the waiting cultivators below.

At this moment, Sang Xiyao's eyes inadvertently swept over the spot where Lu Ye was standing once again.

Then, her eyes flickered slightly, and she gave Lu Ye a wink.

The gist of it is that, within the rules, she cannot target the two people from the Sky Curtain Palace.

If possible, Lu Ye would be better off... giving up on this matter of the Yunyao Secret Realm.
