910: Chapter 911 Sunset Peak

The surrounding Cultivators also turned their heads, and after recognizing the newcomer, all showed expressions of awe. Daoist Yao Delong of the Yin Yang Sect, he was the most dazzling Prodigy of the younger generation in the Eastern Domain! His status was incomparably noble!

Yao Delong nodded slightly, his tone flat yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Open the teleportation array directly to the foot of the Yin Yang Sect mountain."

"Yes! Daoist Revered Master, please!" The steward dared not delay, immediately stepped forward personally, forming hand seals, and respectfully opened the passage to the core teleportation point at the foot of the Yin Yang Sect mountain in the White Cloud Mountain Range for Yao Delong. The Formation light lit up, engulfing Yao Delong's figure.

White Cloud Mountain Range, at the foot of the Yin Yang Sect mountain.

The huge teleportation array platform flashed with light, and Yao Delong's figure reappeared.

"Who goes there?!" Several Inner Sect Disciples responsible for guarding the teleportation array immediately surrounded him vigilantly.

However, when they clearly saw the figure emerging from the light—clad in a profound star manifestation dao robe, with a tall and straight posture, handsome face, extraordinary temperament, and the 'Daoist Revered Master' token symbolizing supreme status hanging at his waist—

The Disciples were struck by lightning! They instantly froze!

Immediately, immense shock and fervent worship replaced their vigilance. Several people hastily knelt on one knee, bowing their heads deeply, their voices filled with uncontrollable excitement and respect:

"Greetings, Daoist Yao! Welcome back, Daoist Revered Master!"

"Welcome back, Daoist Revered Master!"

Yao Delong merely waved his hand casually, not even sparing them another glance. His figure flickered, transforming into a brilliant streak of light, soaring into the sky, and swiftly heading towards the cloud-shrouded, immortal palace-filled mountain gate of the Yin Yang Sect!

It wasn't until the streak of light disappeared into the horizon that the kneeling Disciples dared to raise their heads, each with fine beads of cold sweat on their foreheads. That invisible pressure just now made it difficult for them to even breathe!

"Heavens... Heavens! It really is Daoist Yao!"

"Did you feel it? The aura on Daoist Revered Master... compared to before his seclusion three years ago, it's like heaven and earth! Unfathomable!"

"Hiss... My Revered Master said that Daoist Revered Master might have already... already entered the Void Refining realm!"

"Void Refining?! Doesn't that mean he's on par with the Peak Lords of our various peaks?!"

"Too... too terrifying! As expected of the Daoist Revered Master!"

The few of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and a sense of shared honor. Daoist Yao was their Yin Yang Sect's legend!

Passing through the mountain-protecting formation, the familiar Spiritual Qi, ten times richer and purer than outside, rushed towards him.

Yao Delong flew through the air, looking down at the familiar scenery below: undulating spiritual mountains and beautiful peaks, spiritual waterfalls plummeting thousands of feet, immortal cranes and auspicious clouds traversing through the Spiritual Qi mist, and floating immortal palaces and treasure halls faintly discernible amidst the clouds, exuding an ancient and boundless dao rhyme.

Countless Disciples practiced Divine Abilities in the training grounds, cultivated Pill Fire on Pill Cloud Peak, and comprehended Sword Intent on Sword Cliff... The entire Sect was full of vitality.

An indescribable warm current flowed through his heart.

He was home!

These familiar mountains and Spiritual Qi, this pure Sect dao rhyme, completely relaxed his tense mind. The experience in the Demon Domain felt like a lifetime ago; returning now, he finally felt a true sense of security.

However, this sense of security was also mixed with a hint of bustle.

The entire Yin Yang Sect was already decorated with lanterns and streamers, bustling with activity! Red silks of celebration were hung everywhere in the Sect, and huge ' 囍' characters were posted. The main peak, Tianshu Peak, was even decorated like a jade palace in a fairyland, with myriad rays of light, faint sounds of immortal music, and countless Disciples and stewards bustling about, preparing for the grand wedding seven days later.

He composed himself, not lingering on Tianshu Peak. With a flicker of light, he flew directly towards his true home—Luoxia Peak!

Along the way, whether it was Disciples flying on swords or Elders and stewards patrolling on clouds, upon seeing the figure in the profound star manifestation dao robe, they immediately stopped and respectfully bowed:

"Welcome back to the peak, Daoist Yao!"

"Greetings, Daoist Revered Master!"

"Daoist Revered Master is well!"

Their voices rose and fell, filled with heartfelt reverence and adoration. Yao Delong merely nodded slightly, his speed undiminished. His gaze was already fixed on the familiar palace at the summit of Luoxia Peak, enveloped in a soft glow—Sunset Glow Hall.

Inside Sunset Glow Hall.

Leng Yuekui, dressed in a moon-white palace dress, with a cool and frosty demeanor and a hint of imperceptible worry between her brows, sat in the main seat. Below, Lin Qingxue, dressed in a light blue dao robe, with a gentle and refined temperament, held a Jade Slip, respectfully reporting on the recent arrangements for peak affairs.

"...Revered Master, the Heavenly Star Jade Dew needed for the wedding has been refined on Pill Cloud Peak and can be retrieved at any time. Also..."

Lin Qingxue's voice suddenly stopped, and she abruptly looked up, her clear beautiful eyes instantly bursting with incredible joy and surprise! She even disregarded etiquette, rising abruptly, her gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching streak of light outside the hall!

"Senior Brother?!"

Before her words finished, light and shadow flickered at the hall entrance, and Yao Delong's tall figure had already stepped in!

"Junior Sister Clear Snow!" Yao Delong's face showed the most sincere and relaxed smile since returning to the Sect, his eyes filled with the warmth of a long-awaited reunion.

"Senior Brother! You're finally back!" Lin Qingxue could no longer suppress the excitement and joy in her heart, and like a swallow returning to its nest, she instantly pounced over! She unreservedly hugged Yao Delong's arm, her delicate face full of brilliant smiles, her eyes sparkling with reliance and delight: "If you didn't come back soon, Revered Master would have torn off the roof of Luoxia Peak! I was so worried!"

As she spoke, she habitually rubbed her head against Yao Delong's arm, like a kitten finally reunited with its owner. That undisguised intimacy and joy instantly dispelled the last trace of anxiety in Yao Delong's heart.

"Cough cough!" From the main seat, Leng Yuekui coughed twice forcefully, her face cold. Her clear Phoenix eyes swept over Lin Qingxue's hand clasping Yao Delong's arm, then looked at Yao Delong, her voice like ice beads dropping:

"Hmph! So you still know how to come back? You brat, your wings have grown hard, haven't they? You ignored the Sect's summons! Only rolling back in the last few days! Do you still have me, your Revered Master, in your eyes?! Do you still respect the Sect's rules?!"

Her tone was stern, with clear anger. But both Yao Delong and Lin Qingxue keenly noticed that Revered Master's tense jawline seemed to relax slightly, and the persistent worry deep in her eyes quietly dissipated the moment she saw Yao Delong unharmed and even with a deeper aura.

Yao Delong's smile remained unchanged. He gently patted Lin Qingxue's hand to reassure her, then respectfully performed a Disciple's grand bow to Leng Yuekui:

"Disciple Yao Delong greets Revered Master! It is my fault for causing Revered Master worry! Disciple... has returned!"

He raised his head, meeting Leng Yuekui's scrutinizing gaze, his eyes frank and calm, even with a hint of imperceptible fatigue and... a deeper aura.

Leng Yuekui looked at this Disciple who made her proud yet also gave her headaches, seeing his aura which was more restrained yet profound than when he left. Especially in the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be a new depth forged through endless tempering. The anger in her heart unknowingly dissipated by seventy to eighty percent.

"Hmph! Don't think everything's fine just because you said you're back! Come with me!" Leng Yuekui snorted coldly, flicked her sleeve, and walked directly towards the quiet room in the back hall, her tone brooking no argument, "You'll thoroughly explain where you've been for the past few months! And your cultivation... hmph! I'll settle that score with you later!"

The moment she turned, Yao Delong and Lin Qingxue exchanged glances, both seeing the relieved smile in each other's eyes.
