53: Chapter 53: Sibei County Lord Su Beihuang, Long Aotian ascends

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Sibei Princess Su Bei Huang, Long Aotian Appears

Ye Ran was secretly displeased when the Yao Race of Heavenly Demon Divine Palace didn't attack Gu Shengge.

Just as he was about to continue his taunts, he was interrupted by the sound of hooves. Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see five cloud-piercing chariots, each pulled by four Heavenly Horses, riding the celestial light with rolling wheels, flying from the distant sky.

The chariots' flags fluttered, adorned with Phoenix patterns in gold thread, bearing a large character 'Yu', imbued with Imperial Dynasty Divine Might, awe-inspiring in all directions.

The Heavenly Horses spread their wings and soared, their hooves trampling the Void Realm, stirring up ripples. The foremost crimson-gold chariot was surrounded by crimson flames, like a Phoenix rising from ashes, piercing the clouds.

Upon the chariot stood a tall figure, holding the reins of the Heavenly Horses, with a magnificent Aura and Battle Intent filling the air.

As the Phoenix chariot gradually approached, everyone finally saw her true appearance.

Unexpectedly, it was a female general.

The female general had long crimson hair, flowing with the wind, and wore a Phoenix battle helmet. Her exquisite oval face had delicate features, her Phoenix eyes were sharp, and there was a heroic spirit between her brows.

The crimson Phoenix-patterned battle armor outlined her tall and perfect figure, graceful and curvaceous, with no overly complicated decorations, clean and sharp, embodying a heroic and valiant spirit.

With flags flying, the five chariots landed not far away, raising a cloud of dust.

The Da Yu Dynasty's people had arrived.

More precisely, it was the Sibei Prince of the Da Yu Dynasty.

The Da Yu Dynasty occupied three prefectures of Qiongsang Domain, and the Sibei Prince was a Da Yu Prince, guarding the north of Da Yu and resisting the ghost entities of the Underworld, close to Mingchuan Prefecture.

With the arrival of the Da Yu Dynasty, only Heavenly Dao Sect remained, along with Sect Leader Yin and the other person who had parted ways midway.

Gu Shengge withdrew his gaze from the female general and continued to observe the strange rocks inside the valley.

But even with his Double Pupil, he couldn't discern what was hidden within these strange rocks.

In the ethereal Realm, a certain force was interfering with Gu Shengge.

This made him feel even more that the strangeness of this place was immense.

"Hmm? A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!"

Su Bei Huang flew down from the chariot. She was instantly drawn to Jin Xi, and surprise appeared in her Phoenix eyes.

Who brought a True Dragon to such a barren place?

A retainer from the Sibei Prince explained, "Princess, that Golden Dragon is the mount of Qiankun Daozi."

"Qiankun Daozi, the Double Pupil Person, then."

Hearing this, Su Bei Huang thought of the Qiongsang Domain Prodigy Ranking released by Xuantian Tower, and the Qiankun Daozi who topped the list.

Regarding this top Prodigy of Qiong Sang, she had only seen his portrait and had never met him in person.

Su Bei Huang looked at the white-robed figure by the cliff, deep in thought.

She didn't expect Qiankun Taoist Sect to send him to participate in the Dao Ancient Trial. It seems there will be an opponent this time.

Even though Qiankun Daozi was at the top of the Prodigy Ranking, Su Bei Huang had no fear whatsoever.

What if he was the top? The Dao Ancient Trial tested not strength, but the mind.

Su Bei Huang, born in the Sibei Prince, possessed the Phoenix Bloodline. From the age of six, when she began her Dao, she had fought against Yao Beasts and ghost entities.

Over fourteen years, she had experienced no less than a hundred battles, big and small. Her mind had long been tempered to be indestructible, incomparable to a hothouse flower like Qiankun Daozi.

The Elder of Lingxiao Sword Sect, seeing the arrival of the Da Yu Dynasty, immediately went to greet them with the Sword Sect Disciples.

Many Disciples of the Sibei Prince sought the Way of the Sword in Lingxiao Sword Sect, so the two families had some connection.

"Ye Ran, this is Princess Beihuang, the legitimate daughter of the Sibei Prince, Princess Sibei. This is the current Sword Son of my Sword Sect, Wine Sword Immortal Ye Ran."

"Greetings, Princess Beihuang. I have long heard of Your Excellency's beauty. Upon seeing you now, you are indeed a Celestial Being."

"Sword Son Ye Ran, you flatter me. The story of Sword Son entering the Dao while drunk and splitting the sky with a single sword has spread throughout Qiong Sang. I, too, have yearned for it. Seeing you today, Sword Son truly lives up to the name Wine Sword Immortal; you are very unrestrained."

After Ye Ran and Su Bei Huang exchanged commercial flattery, they gradually opened up the conversation and began to interact.

As the Sword Son of the Sword Sect, as long as Ye Ran didn't make mistakes, he was bound to become the future Sect Master of the Sword Sect. In Su Bei Huang's view, befriending him had no disadvantages.

When it came to the future struggle for the throne, with the assistance of Lingxiao Sword Sect, she would have a much easier time.

While chatting and laughing, Su Bei Huang glanced at Gu Shengge out of the corner of her eye.

It would be even better if she could also gain the support of Qiankun Taoist Sect.

As Lingxiao Sword Sect and the Sibei Prince were conversing happily, a flying creature arrived late. It was none other than Sect Leader Yin and Song Yan, but there was an additional person beside them.

The leaders of the three factions were all puzzled to see that Sect Leader Yin was not with the Dao Sect Disciples.

However, when they saw the other person beside Sect Leader Yin, they were all stunned.

How was the Heavenly Dao Sect Master with Sect Leader Yin?!

Gu Shengge looked closely and recognized the Heavenly Dao Sect Master. He had seen his face in the memories of those two evil Heavenly Dao Sect Disciples.

But what Gu Shengge didn't expect was how Sect Leader Yin got involved with this guy?

"Everyone, this Sect Master isn't late, am I?"

Sect Leader Yin put her flying mount back into her spirit beast bag, cupped her hands towards the Elders and retainers of the three families, and greeted them.

They shook their heads, but confusion still lingered on their faces, not understanding why Sect Leader Yin would be with the Heavenly Dao Sect Master.

As soon as he landed, Long Aotian's gaze was instantly drawn to Su Bei Huang. The corner of his mouth curved into an exaggerated arc, like a Nike logo, and then, with what he considered a very charming evil smile, he strode towards Su Bei Huang.

"Beautiful lady, hello. I am Long Aotian, the Sect Master of Heavenly Dao Sect. Are you interested in joining my Heavenly Dao Sect? Follow this young master, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury and pleasure, making you feel like you're in heaven."

As he spoke, Long Aotian deliberately emphasized the words "make you feel like you're in heaven," as if afraid others wouldn't understand his intentions.

Where did this brain-dead person come from?

This thought popped into the minds of the Disciples and leaders of the three factions. Su Bei Huang's face also instantly darkened, and she coldly reprimanded:

"What kind of trash are you, daring to flirt with this Princess? You're courting death!"

Proud as Su Bei Huang was, how could she endure such humiliation? A crimson-gold Phoenix spear appeared in her palm, and she thrust it fiercely at Long Aotian!

The moment Su Bei Huang attacked, a mechanical prompt sounded in Long Aotian's mind.

【Ding~ Detecting that the host is fighting against an Early Stage Nascent Soul. Fulfilling the condition of being superior. Realm matching in progress...】

The next moment, a powerful Divine Might erupted from Long Aotian's body, terrifyingly so, sweeping in all directions. In an instant, it transformed into a layer of pressure defense, forcefully deflecting Su Bei Huang's Crimson Phoenix Spear and pushing her back more than ten steps!

"Nascent Divinity Celestial Being!" × N

Elder Huangshi, Ye Ran, Retainer Li, Elder Wang, and others were all startled, looking at Long Aotian in disbelief.

Are you kidding me! How old is this guy, and he's already reached Soul Transformation!

Compared to everyone's shock, Gu Shengge's eyes narrowed. His Double Pupil stared at Long Aotian, who was displaying his Divine Might, sensing the strange power within his body.

Indeed, just as he thought, it was the System again.

"Little girl, you're quite fiery, I like it."

Long Aotian, exuding Soul Transformation Divine Might, laughed even more wildly, his Aura like a rainbow, crushing towards Su Bei Huang, and approaching her step by step, with the posture of a domineering overlord.

The retainers of the Sibei Prince immediately intercepted him, warning in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency, you've gone too far. Even if you are a Nascent Divinity Celestial Being, my Sibei Prince is not to be trifled with. Do not bring trouble upon yourself."
