239: shelter

Their eyes all showed shock, like ducks with stretched necks, remaining motionless for a long time.

It was a long time before someone rubbed their eyes.

"I didn't see wrong, did I? Isn't that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi? How could she come to the Endless Sea, and that scene just now when she interacted with the Wang Family Patriarch, it seemed like she was falling in love..."

"You didn't see wrong, but I'm also a bit curious."

Everyone couldn't help but feel surprised.

Yao Yue, as a generation's Holy Maiden of Yaochi, was exceptionally beautiful.

Her beauty astonished the Eastern Barrens, and she was ranked first on the Goddess Ranking.

This was something everyone knew.

Countless people, having seen her once, even through a veil, felt their hearts sway.

Even peerless Prodigies sought to marry into the Yaochi Holy Land but were rejected.

Now, she had come alone to the Endless Sea, which naturally surprised everyone.

However, they didn't suspect any unspeakable secrets between the Wang Family Patriarch and the Saintess.

Everyone knew that the Holy Maidens of Yaochi Holy Land never married outside.

Everyone discussed animatedly, with many different opinions, but there were no reliable conclusions.

Finally, they dispersed like birds and beasts.

At the same time.

Wang Dong brought Yao Yue to the Clan Chief's Palace.

Generally speaking, he didn't live there; he usually cultivated diligently in his secret chamber.

But now that Yao Yue was here, he couldn't possibly expect her to stay in a secret chamber like him, never seeing the light of day, could he?

The Clan Chief's Palace had a magnificent Aura, and it wasn't a single palace.

It was an entire complex of palaces built on a majestic mountain.

Within it, pavilions, towers, and terraces were arranged in a dense pattern, with small waterside pavilions, mountain springs, and waterfalls, all readily available.

Furthermore, various spiritual plants adorned the Heaven and Earth, making the scenery very elegant.

It was just that he was immersed in diligent cultivation; if it were anyone else, they would wish to experience life there every day.

Wang Dong led her inside.

"From now on, you will reside here. All the palaces are yours to choose from. Later, I will select a few maidservants to attend to you. You can tell me if you have any needs."

Yao Yue gently shook her head.

She looked around, quite satisfied in her heart.

Then, she slowly spoke.

"I don't have the habit of being served, but the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is indeed rich, and there's also an incredibly wonderful feeling of Dao."

She paused here, then turned to look at Wang Dong.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for taking me in."

"Fellow Daoist..."

Wang Dong smiled and did not correct her.

Instead, he silently watched Yao Yue move through the various landscapes, each scene like an unfolding scroll of Heaven and Earth.

Beautiful scenery and a beautiful woman; even Wang Dong couldn't bear to disrupt the atmosphere.

After a long time, Yao Yue seemed to have grown tired of strolling.

She chose a side hall as her residence and settled down there... At the same time.

A piece of news spread from the Endless Sea.

The Wang Family Patriarch had already broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, without even using a Supreme Emperor Weapon.

He easily crushed the heads of the three Sacred Ancestors of Yaoguang Holy Land.

As for the countless Yaoguang Disciples who followed him, including Heavenly God powerhouses, they were all killed by a single palm strike.

Yaoguang Holy Land now existed in name only.

This news, like a tornado, swept across the entire Eastern Barrens.

It caused a huge uproar, and countless Cultivators sighed with regret.

The two Ancient aristocratic families, along with the various Holy Lands, including Central Province, all received the information.

Their reactions varied.

However, there was no action taken.

Everything was incredibly calm.

However, those who knew the inside story deduced that.

At this moment, they were probably busy with other things.

Now that the Heaven and Earth suppression of the Dao had just dissipated.

Saints were returning, and everything needed someone to preside over it.

Especially the two Ancient aristocratic families and Ancient Dynasties.

Their visible Holy Lords and Imperial Lords had died, and they were now leaderless.

Countless internal forces were vying for power. To repel external threats, one must first pacify internal affairs.

At this moment, they had no energy to attend to other matters.

At the same time.

Yaoguang Holy Land in Lincang Province was already a river of blood, like a human purgatory.

Only one Grand Elder in the Heavenly God Realm remained stationed there.

The rest were all old and frail women; it could be said that they had no power to resist under the iron hooves of the Wang Family.

In the blink of an eye, they were all slaughtered.

And among these people, the most prominent were undoubtedly the six Sequence Divine Children appointed by Wang Dong.

Each of them was graceful and possessed astonishing combat power.

In a short time, they had already pacified the aftermath.

They moved all the accumulated resources of Yaoguang Holy Land from tens of thousands of years onto the warship, returning with a full load... After Wang Dong first met Yao Yue, he once again fell into diligent cultivation.

His enemies were far more than just Yaoguang Holy Land.

Moreover, there were countless people stronger than Yaoguang Holy Land.

Among them, Ancient Saints would inevitably appear.

Although with his current strength, he was already sufficient to cope.

But every bit stronger he became, the more confidence he had to deal with things.

For Wang Dong, enjoyment was important, but the Dao path was even more important.

What's more, that day, Yao Yue called him Fellow Daoist.

Clearly, she herself was not ready.

Wang Dong was not someone who forced things.

Their initial interaction began with an accident, and everything would naturally fall into place.

Yao Yue mainly resumed her daily life as she had in the Yaochi Holy Land.

Playing the zither, Cultivating, enjoying the scenery, and comprehending the Dao.

Occasionally, she would also sit in the pavilion and listen to the rain.

Like a beauty who stepped out of an ancient painting, she gave people a sense of pity.

The only change was that the veil she wore had fallen off at some unknown time.

Revealing a face that overshadowed all ages, with tender, smooth, and moonlit skin.

Enough to drive any living being in the Eastern Barrens mad.

Days passed like this.

One day, an uninvited guest arrived at the Wang Family.

"Reporting to the Clan Chief, a Primordial Living Being requests an audience."

"Primordial Living Being?"

Inside the secret chamber, Wang Dong frowned.

Could it be that they were also here for revenge?

At the auction in the past, he took the Heavenly Silkworm and also made an enemy of Primordial Divine Mountain.

Later, in the battle with the Ruthless Ones Successor, he killed the Old Wolf King, one of the mainstays of the Yao Race.

It could be said that he indeed had an irreconcilable hatred with that side.

It was highly possible that the other party was coming for revenge against him.

But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.

If they were truly seeking revenge, they would directly attack.

He didn't believe that many of the top forces among the Human Race would be willing to lend him a hand now.

Yet, at this moment, they had only sent one Living Being.

After some thought, Wang Dong sent out a voice.

"Please invite the person to the main hall; I will be there shortly."

"Yes."

A moment later.

Wang Dong, dressed in a green robe, slowly entered the main hall.

His gaze swept across, and he saw a person with two wings on their back, a dark blue complexion.

A pair of eyes seemed to flicker with lightning.

This was a member of the Thunderbird Clan among the Primordial Beings.

"Why have you come with killing intent?"

Wang Dong's faint words fell.

The Primordial Living Being of the Thunderbird Clan immediately knelt on the ground.

"Senior, please understand! This Junior's action is merely to deliver a message; I dare not harbor any killing intent."

Wang Dong secretly chuckled; he was just casually trying to scare him.

How could a mere Junior in the True God Realm dare to harbor killing intent towards him?
