In the center of the light is a white-haired fairy wearing colorful clothes.
A dazzling protective formation lit up above the towering palace of Ziweitian, and numerous early warning formations emitted shrill warning buzzes, with intermittent red light accompanying the alarm sounds.
Ziweitian wasn't home only to the Grand Elders; there were also over 2,000 Xuanwu Hall Iron Guards stationed there, along with a number of elders of all levels, including over 20 Spiritual Transformation Stage experts.
The highest realm Zhao Kangping had reached at that time was only the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.
While there are many Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivators in the Holy Land, they are not commonplace. In a weaker sect, they would already be considered Sect Master-level figures. In the Ziyang Holy Land, they are considered upper-middle-tier combatants. Therefore, these Spiritual Transformation Stage experts are a vital part of the Ziyang Holy Land's foundation.
But even the Holy Lord Zi Yang does not have so much defensive power around him.
"Who is it?" Almost at the moment when the alarms sounded, more than twenty figures gathered from all directions.
The scene suddenly became very solemn.
The cold wind on winter nights was so strong that a thick layer of ice formed on the ground.
The murderous aura seemed to solidify into substance, almost suffocating.
The woman in colorful clothes glanced at those people and knew their identities. They were all the incarnation elders under the Supreme Elder Xue Zining.
Some of them recognized the woman in colorful clothes who suddenly appeared.
"Lan Ruoyu? Why are you here?" said one of the men with a stern face.
When this name was mentioned, many of them thought of a remarkable woman who once dominated the Holy Land.
She was once a peerless fairy who left behind countless legends, but unfortunately she disappeared more than a hundred years ago.
Now that she has reappeared, they are not sure whether she is a friend or foe.
She is the master of the current Holy Lord and should have nothing in common with Xue Zining.
Thinking of this, those people became alert one by one.
They didn't sense any strong aura from Lan Ruoyu, but because of the rumors about this woman, none of them dared to be the first to speak out.
It is rumored that Lan Ruoyu defeated the other six hall masters and never lost.
There was even one time when Lin Ruowei, relying on her status as a disciple of the Holy Lord, bullied her own disciples and was beaten to death. After Lin Ruowei complained, Xue Zining, the Holy Lord at the time, personally taught Lan Xianzi's two disciples a lesson.
However, Fairy Lan personally took action to block Xue Zining's move and saved her disciple.
She had gone against the Holy Lord in this way, yet she was able to escape unscathed afterwards. This showed that her cultivation was truly remarkable.
Can more than twenty of them really fight against such a person?
Many of them had never seen Lan Ruoyu, but they had all heard of her legend.
Such a beautiful and graceful fairy with an extraordinary temperament, coupled with her aura of a powerful person that made her look intimidating without even getting angry, made none of them dare to step forward.
"I want to see Xue Zining. Please send someone to notify her." Lan Ruoyu said lightly.
At this moment, she was standing outside the light shield of the formation, looking at the distance that was only a few steps away, but it was a distance that ordinary people could hardly cross.
Ziweitian's defenses far surpassed the average level of the rest of the Holy Land. It was reinforced with the Holy Land's highest-level formations. Furthermore, Xue Zining personally reinforced them after she arrived.
If you want to break through the defense here, you must either be much stronger than Xue Zining, or reach the seventh level in formation, and it will be easier to break the formation without any interference.
If no one stops her, Lan Ruoyu can force her way in.
But what are the consequences of breaking in by force?
Even if she is no longer in the Zi Yang Holy Land, she cannot act recklessly.
It would be best if conflict could be avoided.
Although what she was going to discuss with Xue Zining later would most likely annoy her, Lan Ruoyu still wanted to postpone the falling out as much as possible.
A tall and strong man among the twenty or so people said, "Can you see the Grand Elder just because you want to?"
This person had never seen Lan Ruoyu before, and he only reached his current position after she left the Holy Land. He was a bit like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger.
His colleagues beside him were giving him frantic glances, telling him to stop talking.
This strong man might be fearless because he is ignorant, but others who have seen Lan Ruoyu in action would not dare to provoke her.
Just as these people were hesitating, a distant and majestic girl's voice came from the towering palace behind them: "Let her in."
The person who spoke was Xue Zining, who had already noticed Lan Ruoyu's arrival.
She was quite surprised. After not seeing each other for a hundred years, Lan Ruoyu had actually reached the fusion stage.
Although Xue Zining is a veteran in the fusion stage, they may not take her seriously.
But now Xue Zining's foundation of Taoism has been damaged and her strength is not as strong as before. She may not be able to win against Lan Ruoyu.
After hearing the words of the Grand Elder, all the Spiritualization Stage Elders fell silent. No one dared to say anything more.
Then a hole appeared in the light curtain of the formation, allowing her to enter.
Xue Zining was also quite polite, setting up a battle array to welcome Lan Ruoyu in. She just wondered if Lan Ruoyu would worry that it was a dangerous place, a place from which there would be no return.
The moment the light curtain opened the hole, Lan Ruoyu's figure became blurred. She left behind a residual shadow as she passed through the void and entered a hall.
The beautiful and dreamy girl on the throne sat on the high platform in a duck-like posture.
"Lan Ruoyu, I didn't expect you to come back." The girl blinked her starry eyes and looked at the woman below.
The Grand Elder looked very calm, as if he was chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen in years.
But those who know should understand that they are not good friends with harmonious relationship.
Others may not know, but Xue Zining knows it very well.
Lan Ruoyu hadn't been a member of the Ziyang Holy Land since the beginning. She had entered the Ziyang Holy Land as a guest official, and when the position of Palace Master of the Yaohua Palace happened to be vacant, she secured the position through her own strength.
She was like a passer-by. Xue Zining knew long ago that she would not stay in the holy land for long, but she actually left without saying goodbye.
Lan Ruoyu and Xue Zining had a rather delicate relationship. In the early years, Xue Zining had even asked her for a small favor. Unfortunately, that wasn't really a close relationship.
However, Xue Zining disliked the two apprentices she taught.
"I'm just passing by and want to ask you for something?"
"What? It's not my life, is it?"
One of them spoke calmly, and the other seemed to be joking.
The atmosphere unconsciously became a little tense.
Especially Xue Zining, she had been feeling insecure since she was seriously injured. Seeing Lan Ruoyu appear, she had to think of the worst.
But even if Lan Ruoyu wanted to attack, Xue Zining was still confident that she could repel this woman in this hall. Yes, only repel her, not kill her.
Lan Ruoyu's eyes were indifferent, and she had a serious attitude. She opened her red lips and said, "I heard that you have obtained the Heavenly Book. This is what I want. I hope you can give it up."
"What heavenly book? Are you talking about the treasure that Yunze brought out? If that's it, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I don't have that thing. If I remember correctly, it should have been taken away by your male disciple. Why don't you ask him?"
The girl's expression changed. She was angry when she thought of the Heavenly Book. She was a little worried about it being in someone else's hands. She didn't know whether Zhao Kangping had given the Heavenly Book to Mu Wanyi. If it fell into Mu Wanyi's hands, it would definitely be bad news.
She thought about sending someone to get the Heavenly Book back, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Now she herself is still seriously injured and if the conflict between her and the Holy Lord ignites prematurely due to the fight for the Heavenly Book, it is very likely to cause a civil war in the Holy Land.
It is true that Xue Zining wants to restore the monarchy, but she does not want to destroy the Zi Yang Holy Land.
Hearing this, Lan Ruoyu frowned slightly. She took a step towards the throne where the girl was sitting. With just this one step, she had already moved in front of the throne where the girl was sitting.
The distance between the two was just within reach.
Xue Zining appeared calm on the surface, but she was a little panicked inside. A vertical eye-shaped mark on her forehead glowed slightly with golden light, not yet fully activated, as if ready to attack.
However, Lan Ruoyu did not take any action, so she remained restrained.
Fairy Lan did not believe her words easily and prepared to verify it herself.
"I hope you can tell the truth." Lan Ruoyu used one of her abilities, which was invisible and elusive.
It sounds a bit tasteless, but this is the power of the fragment she holds.
It can make a target tell the truth to him/her. It cannot be used directly in combat, but it can produce some miraculous effects if used well.
For example, if she encounters a tough opponent, she can ask him if he has any weaknesses or fatal flaws, and he will tell her honestly. This can also indirectly give her an advantage in the battle.
After this ability is used, it will not fail as long as the target's strength is not much higher than hers.
If Xue Zining was in her prime, she might have been immune to this ability, but now that she was injured and her strength had greatly decreased, she was also affected.
"I'm telling the truth. Zhao Kangping did take that thing." The girl was a little annoyed that this woman had gotten so close to her. Ever since her injury, she had been hiding in Ziwei Heaven. Firstly, she was recuperating here, and secondly, to avoid encountering powerful enemies.
Lan Ruoyu was in the fusion stage standing in front of her, which made her feel very insecure.
"In his hands?" Lan Ruoyu muttered to herself.
Xue Zining certainly didn't have the aura of a fragment. Although she might be able to conceal it with her strength, after being influenced by Lan Ruoyu's special ability, she would definitely not lie.
After getting the information she wanted, Lan Ruoyu turned around and said, "Thank you."
Then she disappeared.
The corners of the girl's mouth twitched, and she slapped the throne she was sitting on, and it immediately shattered into countless small pieces.
She herself stumbled and fell.
It had been a long time since anyone had been so rude to her, and she was very annoyed.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, do you think I'm made of clay?" She blasted the broken pieces of the throne into pieces over and over again, venting her anger. However, her girlish appearance made her look like a young lady throwing a tantrum.
……
Luo Xueqing and Bai Qianqian both put their ears to the wall.
But they could hear nothing.
"Why is there no sound? Is there a soundproofing ban?" Luo Xueqing said somewhat disappointedly.
Bai Qianqian was shocked when she heard her say that.
"Why do I feel like you're excited?"
"Ahem, no, I'm just curious about what they will say?"
"Luo Xueqing, I noticed that you've become strange recently. Don't you mind sharing a man with others like this?"
"What's there to mind? They are my uncle and my sister-in-law. Steward Dongfang seems to be easy to get along with."
She said it so frankly, and it really didn't seem like she minded.
Bai Qianqian felt that she had a new understanding of Luo Xueqing today.
Bai Shengnv herself is the daughter of a wealthy businessman and a courtesan, and her mother is not her father's only woman.
When Bai Qianqian's father was young, he married a courtesan despite his family's opposition. He doted on her for the first few years, but when he grew tired of her, he had many new loves.
Of course she knew that there were many men in this world who had three or four wives, but she hated such philandering men.
Because she had seen her mother being ignored by her father, not only was she treated coldly by her father, but she was also bullied by other concubines and even the servants didn't treat her well. This was all because of her mother's background as a courtesan.
It just so happened that Bai Qianqian also witnessed the misery of her mother's later years, so even if she wanted to find a Taoist partner, she would look for someone who was loyal to her.
However, she felt that men were not as interesting as music. Even if she were to be accompanied by stringed instruments for the rest of her life, she probably would not look for a Taoist partner.
"boom!"
At this moment, someone hurriedly opened the door and walked in.
"Qianqian, you are here. I tell you, something happened. The Shen family was destroyed. Except for some female family members who escaped early, everyone else was basically killed. A tumor monster at the God Transformation level was found there." Dongfang Jingrou finished the explosive news in one breath before she could catch her breath.
Chapter 332 Are you a boy?
Bai Qianqian called over her two protectors, the two beautiful women Qing and Hong.
Dongfang Jingrou also brought more than 20 maids from the mansion with her.
Originally, Luo Xueqing also wanted to go, but Bai Qianqian asked her to take good care of her injuries and did not let her go.
When they arrived at the Shen family's house, it was too late. The place had already become a ruin.
Broken corpses could be seen everywhere. Each of those people died in a miserable way, and many had signs of being bitten or torn apart.
"We're too late. The monster has already escaped." Aunt Qing released her spiritual sense, but couldn't find the monster. Its remaining breath was very weak. It must have been running for a long time.
"There's a survivor here." A maid shouted in the distance.
When they walked over, they saw several maids propping up a broken wall, with a person underneath.
