The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

(P.S.: The author has a habit of updating the previous short chapter the next day...)

Ji Chen's ascension ceremony, though encountering some setbacks, was completed without major incident.

The Eternal Mother did not send down her will again.

After the ascension ceremony, Ji Chen and the prominent figures and key members of the Baiyang Sect went through the motions of a banquet before returning to the Lu residence.

Another table had already been prepared, and most of the guests were protectors of the old Luo sect. During the banquet, everyone expressed their feelings, indicating that their hearts were still with the Luo sect and that they would obey his commands.

However, some Dharma protectors used illness as an excuse to avoid meeting them, indicating a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, although Ji Chen had temporarily quelled the situation in the city, the Grand Master was still watching from the outside.

In this situation, either waiting to see how things develop or turning to the headmaster if things go wrong is a good option for them.

Lin, the protector who was repeatedly humiliated by Ji Chen, was one of them.

Ji Chen didn't bother with them; too many people joining would only disrupt his original plans.

As for those who want to be opportunists, Ji Chen will have plenty of time to deal with them when he has the time.

If Lu Xiao doesn't work, then Ji Qingyun will go next. If that still doesn't work, Apostle No. 2 can wait on the way.

Silent all night.

The next day, Ji Chen's apostle, Ji Qingyun, arrived in Yuezhou City almost at the same time as the people from the Baiyang Sect's headquarters.

Ji Qingyun, standing outside the city, narrowed his eyes and secretly observed the eye-catching group at the city gate.

The woman at the head of the group wore a pure white dress, her skin was radiant and had a jade-like hue; she was a stunningly beautiful young woman in the prime of her life.

She moved with a light and graceful gait, as if riding the wind, her feet barely touching the ground, yet she reached the city gate with incredible speed.

The person behind her was dressed in a black robe, with a calm demeanor and a tall stature, like a protector to the girl in front of her, following her step by step.

The young girl arrived at the city gate, smiled radiantly, and in an instant, spring blossoms appeared, her beauty beyond compare. She addressed the already mesmerized guards:

"I am the Holy Maiden of Baiyang. Would you please trouble you, young man, to inform your sect leader?"

The guards were completely captivated by the saintess before them, so mesmerized that they couldn't recognize themselves and were grinning foolishly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away..."

It wasn't that this person was incompetent; at this moment, almost everyone at the city gate was completely captivated, regarding the White Sun Saintess as a goddess and willingly becoming her devoted admirers.

Just then, the guardian behind the White Sun Saintess seemed to have noticed Ji Qingyun's observation and suddenly shouted coldly:

"Who dares to spy on the Holy Maiden?!"

Having said that, he pounced on Ji Qingyun like a black eagle.

Ji Qingyun's mind stirred, and he secretly cried out in alarm. He had not expected the black-clad protector to have such amazing spiritual senses, even though he had deliberately suppressed his energy and spirit.

This person is probably a powerful expert at the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation.

And that White Sun Saintess is not to be underestimated either.

Ji Qingyun felt heavy-hearted and tense as he pondered how to deal with the enemy.

This body is, after all, just a mortal, and is no match for such a powerful being.

Lu Xiao is too far away and cannot arrive in time. If the situation is not handled properly, the apostle who has just left the mountain will perish prematurely.

Fortunately, the Goddess of White Sun swayed and moved like a white light, blocking the way in front of the black-clad protector.

"Second Uncle, we are guests from afar. How can we allow the host of this place to shed blood upon our arrival?"

"Yes, the Holy Maiden is right. I was being presumptuous."

Although he was the Holy Maiden's uncle, the black-clad protector dared not show the slightest disrespect and stood respectfully with his hands clasped.

Ji Qingyun felt a sense of relief, but unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden of Baiyang spoke softly again:

"My fellow traveler, since we've met by chance, why refuse to see me?"

Ji Qingyun's heart jumped again, but he laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, I've long heard that the Holy Maiden of Baiyang is renowned throughout the land, but seeing her today, I realize that the world has underestimated her."

Ji Qingyun stepped out of the carriage with a calm expression, looking directly at the Holy Maiden of Baiyang.

Since they've already set their sights on you, there's no point in hiding; you might as well face it head-on.

The moment the imposing man appeared, his aura was in no way inferior to that of the captivating White Sun Saintess, causing the White Lotus Saintess's eyes to sparkle with admiration.

They have always had a set of skills for judging people, a summary of thousands of years of experience of rebels. No matter what kind of appearance they have, such as a hidden dragon or a python, they can't escape their physiognomy.

Ji Qingyun is unlike any other; his fierce and brave appearance, though not the dignified and noble countenance of an emperor, is the true countenance of a powerful figure in a chaotic world.

The assistant is a fierce general of a hero, while the independent is a peerless killing talent who can stir up the world!

Even the black-clad protector was moved.

The Holy Maiden of Baiyang looked at Ji Qingyun with eyes that seemed to hold spring water, as if brimming with tender affection, and whispered:

"I am unworthy of such praise from a hero. I am merely a woman of modest beauty, how can I compare to your unparalleled heroism?"

Ji Qingyun felt a surge of lust rising in his lower abdomen as he listened, and inwardly exclaimed:

"What a wicked and bewitching realm! It's truly formidable!"

Fortunately, his total mental attribute value had reached 25, greatly enhancing his resistance to temptation; otherwise, he would have definitely made a fool of himself.

The rapid increase in mental strength is due to both the feedback from the Heavenly Demon Interference and the absorption of the Apostle's inherent mental and perceptual attributes by the main consciousness.

As Ji Chen traveled, he vaguely realized that the innate spiritual attributes of the apostles could be completely absorbed by the main body to strengthen it.

The White Sun Saintess over there persisted, saying:

"What brings you here, sir? If you wish to join my sect, I can introduce you and ensure you have the opportunity to achieve great things."

Baiyang Saintess suddenly felt that Lu Xiao's problem wasn't so urgent anymore. As long as she could recruit this fierce general into her ranks, how could she not suppress a genius who had not yet fully risen to prominence?

Ji Qingyun rolled his eyes inwardly; how could he not know what the Holy Maiden Baiyang was planning?

However, being under someone else's roof, he couldn't refuse directly, so he simply said:

"I do have that idea, but right now, what's most important to me is finding my long-lost uncle to fulfill my grandfather's last wish."

The Holy Maiden of Baiyang was somewhat disappointed, but she still patiently talked with "Ji Qingyun" in an attempt to win her over.

During this time, the two announced their names, and Ji Qingyun also learned the name of the Holy Maiden of Baiyang.

Liu Yuyao.

The Holy Maiden of Baiyang was renowned throughout the Baiyang Sect, but few knew her real name.

"Holy Maiden, that person has arrived."

At this moment, the black-clad protector stepped forward to remind him, his gaze fixed solemnly on the main road behind the city gate, where smoke and dust were beginning to rise.

Their target this time, 'Lu Xiao', has appeared.

The surge of energy, like that of a newborn sun, came with an imposing force, making it impossible not to attract attention.

The Holy Maiden of Baiyang also temporarily set aside "Ji Qingyun" and treated him with utmost seriousness.

"With such qi and blood, Lu Xiao, the 'Calamity Star,' truly lives up to his name. His Qingyang Solidifying Stance and Zhentian Wuji Palm are probably already no weaker than his teacher's."

Baiyang Saintess narrowed her eyes, a murderous intent rising within her.

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

The black-clad protector strode forward.
