253: Feng Qiyun

“This…”

Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong was speechless for a moment. From the video footage, it really seemed like his Disciple was the first to act.

Moreover, he had personally gone to Misty Immortal Abode to verify this beforehand and had probed the memory of a “witness,” confirming that the footage was not faked.

This made things a bit difficult…

“Deputy Palace Revered Master Duan!”

Wu Tianyun suddenly let out a cold shout, “Your Disciple has such audacity, daring to lay hands on my son! He truly deserves to die!”

“We, the Wu Clan, haven’t even pursued this matter with you yet, but you’ve come knocking on our door first, making false accusations and demanding an explanation. Do you really think our Wu Clan is so easily bullied?!”

Wu Xuan’s eyes immediately lit up, and he gave Wu Tianyun a satisfied look.

Good boy, sharp-tongued and domineering enough.

He truly is my son!

“Nonsense!”

Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong’s face was filled with rage, and he said somewhat exasperatedly, “When did I make false accusations? Don’t talk rubbish!”

“Although my Disciple was the first to act, is your son blameless?”

“Why did my Disciple not attack others, but only your son? Isn’t that your son’s problem?”

Wu Tianyun listened with a stunned expression. Did this old man even hear what he was saying?

“Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong, do you have any shame left? I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you!”

Wu Xuan’s eye twitched, and he pointed at Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong, cursing.

Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong snorted coldly, “Wu Xuan, I’m putting my words here today. If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, we will be irreconcilable from now on!”

“Alright, alright, you want an explanation, do you?”

Boom—!

Wu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh in anger, and a terrifyingly powerful Aura instantly erupted from his body, sweeping majestically in all directions, pressing down on the Void Realm until it could no longer bear the strain, constantly twisting and trembling.

Wu Tianyun was startled and quickly retreated.

“Make your move. Fight me outside the heavens. I will give you an explanation today!”

Wu Xuan said coldly, then flew directly towards the starry sky, moving away from Shenwu Continent.

“Afraid of you?!”

Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong snorted angrily, and a terrifying Aura also erupted from his body. Then, he summoned a long sword and directly flashed towards Wu Xuan to kill him.

Boom, boom—!

In a desolate starry sky.

The two instantly collided, and terrifying battle fluctuations continuously swept outwards. The surrounding space quickly became shattered under their bombardment, with dense Void Realm cracks spreading across the entire starry sky.

Within the Wu Clan, many Clan members watched the great battle between the two with great interest.

They observed and learned while discussing with others.

Some even took out Divine Stones to record the battle scene of the two.

After all, such a scene was rare.

“Hahaha…”

“Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong, you’re no good!”

Wu Xuan’s hearty laughter echoed through the starry sky. His original Cultivation was not much different from Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong’s, but with the help of the Chaotic Source Fluid provided by Wu Ning over the years, his Cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. At this moment, he was beating Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong so badly that he couldn't even lift his head.

Having greatly increased his Cultivation multiple times, he had actually wanted to find someone to spar with for a long time. Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong coming to his door was exactly what he wanted.

“Damn it, how did you become so strong?!”

Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong’s face was filled with frustration. He had thought it would be a fierce battle between evenly matched opponents, but who would have thought it would be a one-sided beating!

Did this old scoundrel hide his Cultivation before?

Boom!

After another quarter of an hour, Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong was directly smashed in the face by Wu Xuan’s punch, and his body instantly flew backward.

“Old scoundrel, I’ll remember this debt today. We’ll meet again!”

Using the force of the push, Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong left a harsh remark and directly flashed out of the Wu Clan Secret Realm.

“Hmph, what ‘meet again’? If you have the guts, don’t run!”

Wu Xuan sneered disdainfully but did not pursue him.

After all, he was a Deputy Palace Revered Master of Wan Dao Heavenly Palace, so he couldn’t really do anything to him, but he also didn’t take him too seriously.

A deputy is a deputy; he couldn’t stir up much trouble.

Deputy Palace Lord Duan Hong said nothing more, carrying his injuries and resentment, and directly flashed out of the Wu Clan Secret Realm.

…

Time flew by, and several decades quickly passed.

In these decades, the teams from various major forces that went to Misty Immortal Abode to listen to the Dao returned one after another.

Xiao Xiao also returned to the Clan with the Wu Clan’s team, and then immersed herself in Cultivation.

Misty Immortal Abode.

Yun Wuji walked into a magnificent and grand Immortal Palace and bowed down to a stunningly beautiful woman in luxurious palace attire above, “Greetings, Revered Master, this Disciple wishes to ask Revered Master for a favor.”

This majestic and dignified beautiful woman in palace attire was the current Palace Revered Master of Misty Immortal Abode—Feng Qiyun!

At this moment, Feng Qiyun was sitting with her eyes closed, her spirit wandering beyond the heavens.

It wasn’t until a long while later that she slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Yun Wuji, who was respectfully kneeling in the center of the hall, and casually asked, “What is it?”

Yun Wuji lowered his head and respectfully replied, “This Disciple has admired Fairy Wind Caiwei for a long time and wishes to become her Dao Companion, to embark on the Immortal Path together. I hope Revered Master can grant this.”

“Oh?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Qiyun’s eyes. She said, “You and Fairy Wind Caiwei are both my Disciples. As long as Fairy Wind Caiwei is willing, I, your Revered Master, will naturally be happy to see it happen.”

“However, if Fairy Wind Caiwei is unwilling, I, your Revered Master, will not force her.”

“So, instead of coming to me, you should put more effort into Fairy Wind Caiwei’s side.”

Feng Qiyun said indifferently.

As the Revered Master of the Immortal Abode, she understood all the matters, big and small, within the Immortal Abode, so she naturally knew that Fairy Wind Caiwei was very close to Wu Ning.

Regarding that peerless Prodigy, unique throughout the ages, she was unwilling to offend him.

Moreover, Fairy Wind Caiwei had been by her side since childhood, and even her name was given by her.

Although they were Revered Master and Disciple, their relationship was already like that of mother and daughter.

Yun Wuji was merely her nominal Disciple, just a title, with no actual Revered Master-Disciple bond with her.

In terms of closeness, he naturally couldn’t compare to Fairy Wind Caiwei’s position in her heart.

Although Yun Wuji was displeased, he dared not show it.

Unlike Imperial Clans like the Wu Clan, where the Clan Chief only needed to be of direct Bloodline and possess Immortal Emperor Cultivation to succeed.

But in immortal Dao Lineages like Misty Immortal Abode, to sit on the throne of the Dao Lineage Revered Master, in addition to having some support from forces behind them, absolute strength was even more crucial!

Only then could one suppress others and truly hold real power.

Within Misty Immortal Abode, as long as a Dao-Grade expert did not appear, Feng Qiyun held absolute authority.

Although Yun Wuji had an extraordinary background, he still dared not be presumptuous in front of her.

“Revered Master’s teaching is correct. This Disciple will definitely seek Fairy Wind Caiwei’s consent first.” Yun Wuji suppressed his dissatisfaction and said with a firm voice.

Feng Qiyun hummed faintly and gave no further response.

Yun Wuji bowed again, “Revered Master, may you be well. This Disciple shall take his leave first.”

After he left.

Feng Qiyun looked at the empty hall and couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Before, when I looked at you, I still felt you were somewhat extraordinary.”

“But people, they are afraid of comparison.”

“Compared to that boy from the Wu Clan, you are far too inferior. I hope you still have some self-awareness…”
