221: Dual Seminary

Your sudden appearance also caught the attention of Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace and Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land.

Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace glared at you with cold eyes and threatened sternly, "Get lost quickly, don't ruin my plans!"

Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land shook her head hard, trying to stay awake, and shouted at you, "Go quickly and ask Empress Tianxuan for help for me. I'll owe you a favor!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace's eyes.

You knew perfectly well that you would likely be killed by Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace on the spot before you even reached the palace.

You quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "Excuse me, I'm just passing by. I absolutely had no intention of disturbing you two."

You said this, naturally, to make Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace relax his guard.

However, Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace did not fall for it. He laughed heartily, "Hahaha, since you're so sensible..."

He paused, his eyes revealing a murderous intent, "Then stay!"

Just in this flash of lightning—

The light evasion boots under your feet shone brightly with silver light, your figure transforming into an afterimage as you instantly appeared beside Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land. Your left hand wrapped around her slender waist, and your right foot forcefully activated the Distance-less Teleportation Array you had already set up.

"Buzz—"

A majestic Void Realm force shot up into the sky, and a silver light pillar completely engulfed the two of you.

At the moment space violently twisted, your figures flashed with the light pillar and then completely vanished from the spot.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Yan Wenjie from Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace clenched his fists in anger and roared, "Thief! Detestable thief! You've infuriated me! I will definitely tear you to pieces!"

Meanwhile, you and Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land had already appeared in Yan City, a hundred thousand li away—in the small courtyard you had purchased.

You never expected that the Distance-less Teleportation Array, originally prepared as a trump card for escape, would unexpectedly be used here.

Just at this moment—

Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land suddenly pressed a palm on your Dantian, and pure Primordial Spirit power instantly sealed your cultivation.

Her eyes filled with tenderness, and she abruptly pushed you to the ground.

The next second—

Soft lips with a sweet scent covered yours, and hot breaths, like orchids and musk, completely enveloped you.

In the dizzying sensation of the world spinning, you only heard your uncontrolled heartbeat pounding like a war drum.

Amidst this wondrous feeling, a thought flashed through your mind—could the next generation's Holy Land Saintess, Holy Maiden Shen Mengqi, be the daughter of you and Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land?

With this astonishing thought, you let her do as she pleased.

Three days later, you lay sprawled on the ground, clothes torn, gazing at her aloof back, your ears filled with a ringing sound.

"If you dare to reveal even half a word about today's events..." Her voice carried a bone-chilling coldness, "I will make you suffer the agony of Soul Refining."

Before her words finished, space rippled, and she vanished, leaving only a lingering fragrance on the ground.

You inhaled the fragrance, unable to help but savor the past three days, and chuckled, "Spirit Transformation Cultivator, truly formidable!"

But you didn't forget the main task and immediately set off for Silver Moon Palace.

After ten days of flying on the void-breaking boat, you finally arrived at Silver Moon Palace.

After stating your identity, a welcoming Disciple led you to a grand hall.

To your surprise, the Silver Moon Palace Master personally came out to meet you.

She was dressed in a snow-white gauze dress, and the Soul Transformation Stage pressure permeated the entire hall like a cold tide.

You had also seen the Silver Moon Palace Master at Empress Tianxuan's abdication banquet, but she had remained silent then, so you didn't know she was the Silver Moon Palace Master.

"What brings you here?" Her voice was calm and unruffled.

"I was invited by Silver Moon Fairy and have come to keep the appointment," you replied calmly.

"Silver Moon Fairy is not available to see guests. Please leave."

Being directly rejected, you immediately felt awkward.

This attitude was clear enough, but you always felt there was more to it.

Not even allowing a meeting, that was too ungracious.

After a moment of thought, you casually said, "My Senior Sister Yun Yao entrusted me to come. There's an important matter that must be clarified in person. Please, Palace Master, make an exception."

"Inconvenient," her expression remained indifferent.

You frowned and asked, "Palace Master, why won't you let me see Silver Moon Fairy?"

"Silver Moon will soon marry Feng Yu. During this time, it's inconvenient for her to meet privately with other men," the Silver Moon Palace Master said lightly.

"What?" You asked in surprise, "Silver Moon herself shouldn't be willing, right?"

The Silver Moon Palace Master glanced at you indifferently, "What does it have to do with you?"

"What if I want to snatch the bride?" You chuckled.

"Heh," the Silver Moon Palace Master smiled faintly, "Suit yourself."

As soon as her voice fell, her figure flashed, and she disappeared.

You rubbed your forehead helplessly and had no choice but to turn and leave.

Along the way, the more you thought about it, the more something felt off—why were Silver Moon Fairy and Feng Yu suddenly getting married?

You immediately thought of Fairy Tianxuan; perhaps she knew something, so you quickly rushed to the Imperial City.

In the Imperial City's imperial garden, you sat opposite the current Empress Tianxuan, who was formerly Fairy Tianxuan.

As soon as you sat down, you asked, "Does Fairy know about the marriage between Silver Moon Fairy and Feng Yu?"

She smiled and replied, "You wouldn't happen to be smitten with Silver Moon Fairy, would you? Why don't you look at me? I'm not worse than Silver Moon Fairy. And it just so happens that I've just ascended the throne and am troubled by finding a suitable Dao Companion."

"Fairy, please don't joke around, I have serious business."

"It's normal for major forces to form alliances through marriage. What's there to be so surprised about?"

"Aren't you worried about their two families uniting?"

"What am I worried about? Both my parents are Disciples of the Academy. Would they dare to offend the Academy?"

Looking at her seemingly naive demeanor, you couldn't help but wonder how she could shoulder the responsibility of being the Empress of such a vast Immortal Dynasty?

Which emperor isn't cunning and resourceful?

Could she be feigning ignorance?

"Do you know something?" You quickly pressed.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a smile: "Do you know what Physique Silver Moon Fairy has?"

"What Physique?"

"She possesses the Profound Yin Sacred Body, which is rare in ten thousand years."

"Profound Yin Sacred Body?"

"That's right. After a Profound Yin Sacred Body breaks through to Nascent Soul, she can be harvested by others, making her a priceless treasure in the eyes of those great powers."

You nodded, roughly understanding—after Silver Moon Fairy broke through to Nascent Soul, she would naturally become a target coveted by certain great powers.

But Silver Moon Palace shouldn't be so afraid of Huanling Sect, right?

So you asked, "Does Huanling Sect have another backer?"

Fairy Tianxuan smiled and nodded, "Precisely!"

You immediately pressed, "Who is behind Huanling Sect?"

"Instructor Chan Yi of the Dual Cultivation Academy," she whispered.

"Instructor Chan Yi?" Your brows furrowed.
