21: Chapter 21 Reporting to Yuanchu Mountain

Leng Yanshuang suddenly smiled again, looking down at Kang Dalei in her arms. Her beautiful eyes held a faint smile as she gazed at him.

"Husband, Shuanger feels that you are definitely someone who can make the entire Cangyuan World clear up for you."

"Miss, Young Master, we have arrived at Dongning Prefecture."

Kang Dalei also sat up at this moment.

"The person who can make the Cangyuan World clear up is not me."

After getting off the carriage, a massive city, almost identical in scale to Xining Prefecture, appeared in Kang Dalei's eyes. A row of guards stood straight at the entrance.

Leng Yanshuang then took out the token from her waist and handed it to the guard. The guard looked everyone up and down, then shifted his gaze to Kang Dalei.

"You look a bit familiar."

"Is that so?" Kang Dalei felt a bit nervous.

Because the few people in front of him were exactly those gatekeepers he had beaten back in Dongning Prefecture. However, he remembered that these men were previously in the inner city; how did they end up on duty at the outer city?

"No, that's not right. You must be someone I know. Why can't I recall it for a moment?"

"If you can't recall, then don't think about it. Everyone is quite busy. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first."

"Wait."

Just as Kang Dalei was preparing to leave with Leng Yanshuang, the guard at the gate suddenly interrupted him. He then walked up to Kang Dalei with a suspicious look on his face and circled around him.

"No, I have definitely seen you before."

"Right, you are..."

Kang Dalei's expression began to change.

"You are that new son-in-law of the Leng family in Xining Prefecture, right? I've seen you in a portrait. I didn't expect you to look even more handsome in person than in the picture."

"Oh, is that so? I think so too."

Kang Dalei smiled and let out a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that the other party would recognize him.

The two exchanged a few more polite words. Not until Kang Dalei and his group were sent into the city did the guard wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with a sense of relief.

"Finally sent this jinx away."

"Big Brother, don't we know him? Why did you pretend not to?"

The few guards beside him who had been beaten by Kang Dalei were very puzzled. Clearly, the person in front of them was the same Heavenly Demon Sect member who had beaten them last time and was locked in the dungeon.

Why was their Big Brother so respectful to him?

"What do you know? This person has now cozied up to the God Venerate Family of Xining Prefecture. We can only curry favor with him, not offend him."

Actually, there was one more thing the guard didn't say: the voice transmission Leng Yanshuang had sent him.

If he dared to reveal any wind of Kang Dalei's past, he would go straight into the Yongding River to be a turtle.

Arriving in the city, Kang Dalei and Leng Yanshuang went straight to Yuyang Palace.

Just as they reached the entrance, a little chubby boy blocked their path.

Kang Dalei looked at him, and he looked at Kang Dalei.

In the end, it was Leng Yanshuang who spoke from the side:

"Young attendant, we are from the Leng family of Xining Prefecture. We have come today to discuss an important matter with your Palace Master of Yuyang Palace."

The little chubby boy cupped his hands, changing his attitude toward Kang Dalei from before, and bowed to Leng Yanshuang:

"So it is the God Venerate Family of Leng. Qingfeng has been rude. The Palace Master is in the main hall; I will take you there now."

Qingfeng walked in front, and the two followed behind. However, his occasional glances at Kang Dalei made Kang Dalei feel puzzled.

"Does this little fatty have an issue with me?"

Kang Dalei quietly lowered his head and said to Leng Yanshuang beside him.

Leng Yanshuang glanced at Qingfeng, then looked back at Kang Dalei and shook her head.

Soon, the two arrived at a main hall. In the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt, with a beard and tied hair, appeared before their eyes.

Upon seeing this person for the first time, Kang Dalei immediately thought of the Palace Master of Yuyang Palace, Palace Master Li Huainan.

And Qingfeng's words confirmed that the person before him was the highest combat power in the entire Dongning Prefecture.

That selfish and cold Great Sun Realm Divine Venerable, the Palace Master of Yuyang Palace, the master of Mei Yuanzhi, Palace Master Li Huainan, who allowed the Heavenly Demon Sect to run rampant and watched as the people under his rule were slaughtered by the demon race.

To be honest, after seeing this person, Kang Dalei felt inexplicably nervous.

This bastard dared to collude with the Heavenly Demon Sect. Although his goal was to bring peace to Dongning Prefecture, he sacrificed so many people and colluded with the enemy race, showing he is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

If he were to find out that he was the one who had beaten the Dongning Prefecture guards and escaped from prison that day, would he skin him alive?

Of course, Kang Dalei was overthinking.

Palace Master Li Huainan didn't notice him at all, or rather, he ignored him completely. His cold and sinister eyes remained fixed on Leng Yanshuang.

"You must be that girl from the Leng family."

Facing Palace Master Li Huainan's gaze, Leng Yanshuang showed no fear and said with a calm expression:

"Replying to Palace Master, I am indeed Leng Yanshuang. I have come to disturb you today because there is an important matter that needs to be discussed with you, Palace Master."

"Important matter, discussion?" Palace Master Li Huainan frowned. He didn't know what important matter Leng Yanshuang had to discuss with him and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"I wonder what important matter your Xining Prefecture has that needs to be discussed with our Dongning Prefecture."

Subsequently, Leng Yanshuang recounted to Palace Master Li Huainan the matter of the two prefectures preparing to jointly organize the Demon-Slaying Conference.

However, after hearing Leng Yanshuang's words, Palace Master Li Huainan fell into silence.

Because Leng Yanshuang's method was indeed quite good.

East and West joint demon slaying, double champion slots.

It was just that he already had arrangements for this Demon-Slaying Conference in Dongning Prefecture. If he rashly allowed Xining Prefecture to join, would it disrupt his plans?

This caused Palace Master Li Huainan to fall into a dilemma.

Seeing Palace Master Li Huainan fall into silence, continuously tapping his hand on the railing of the seat beside him, Leng Yanshuang, standing in the hall, thought he was worried about being blamed by Yuanchu Mountain, so she added:

"Palace Master, please rest assured. I have already reported this joint effort between the East and West to Yuanchu Mountain. There should be news in a few days."

"You reported it to Yuanchu Mountain?"

Palace Master Li Huainan, who had been frowning and looking troubled, had his expression turn extremely ugly upon hearing Leng Yanshuang's words. His sinister eyes stared coldly and fixedly at Leng Yanshuang.

"Miss Leng, by acting first and reporting later like this, are you not taking me, the Palace Master of Dongning Prefecture, seriously?"

As his words fell, Palace Master Li Huainan joined his two fingers and tapped lightly in mid-air. A terrifying pressure of a Divine Venerable descended from the hall.

A Great Sun Realm Divine Venerable—even a trace of pressure from a Great Sun Realm Divine Venerable was not something an ordinary Wulou Realm could withstand.

However, at this moment, Leng Yanshuang had already broken through the Wulou Realm and achieved the status of a Divine Venerable. Although she was only a Danyun Realm Divine Venerable, she was still a genuine, orthodox Divine Venerable.

Therefore, at the moment Palace Master Li Huainan released his pressure, an equally powerful aura of a Divine Venerable instantly blocked all of his released Great Sun Realm pressure.

Subsequently, an Ice Dragon swirled out from beside Leng Yanshuang, protecting both her and Kang Dalei in the center.

"A Divine Venerable! I truly didn't expect that you, at such a young age, have already condensed into a Divine Venerable."

Palace Master Li Huainan had also stood up in surprise at this moment.

He never expected that the young woman in front of him was actually a Divine Venerable.

Although she was only an ordinary Danyun Realm Divine Venerable, she was still a genuine Divine Venerable.

"I truly didn't expect that your Leng family actually has two Divine Venerables. No wonder, no wonder."

Palace Master Li Huainan withdrew his previous cold attitude and added a bit of respect toward Leng Yanshuang.

One must know that not everyone has the opportunity to become a Divine Venerable.

Among one million geniuses, if there are a thousand Divine Venerables, that would be considered a rare blessing.

He estimated that Leng Yanshuang was no more than eighteen years old. To be able to become a Divine Venerable at such a young age, either the Leng family had an extremely powerful force behind them, or the young woman in front of him had heaven-defying talent.
