First meeting with Mu Tianji

The Elders all looked at Great Elder Qin Yanhe in surprise, but did not say anything.

Qin Jianxun took a deep breath, then slowly said, "First Elder, you think too highly of her. Do you think she has the ability to defeat the other families' prodigies?"

"Moreover, our Qin Family's opponents this time are not just the other Five Great Families, but also the Huang family and the Zhao Family!"

"Although the Huang family and the Zhao Family have publicly announced that their Family Disciples are at most Fifth-Order mid-grade."

"But as far as I know, Huang Youxuan of the Huang family and Zhao Yilong of the Zhao Family have both entered the ranks of Fifth-Order high-grade Talisman Masters!"

"We can lose to the other Five Great Families, but we absolutely cannot lose to these two families!"

"Therefore, we need a Fifth-Order high-grade Talisman Master to participate in the battle for us; this way, it will be safer!"

When the Elders in the hall heard Qin Jianxun's words, their expressions became solemn!

Because the two families Qin Jianxun mentioned were not much weaker than the Qin Family in strength!

If the Qin Family truly lost to these two families in this competition, the Qin Family's face would be completely lost!

In the hall, silence fell due to Qin Jianxun's words.

Just then, Second Elder Qin Baiqian looked at Qin Chen and said, "Fifth Elder, I remember you said that you took in a Disciple who is also a Fifth-Order Talisman Master?"

Qin Baiqian's words made everyone present look up at Qin Chen at the same time!

Qin Chen nodded slightly, then said with a bitter smile, "That's right, he is the Disciple I took in when I was in the Thousand Needle Domain."

"He has astonishing talent on the Path of Talismans. He had already arrived in Fanxing City more than half a year ago, but for some reason, he disappeared without a trace!"

"If he were here, I would be confident!"

"Letting him participate would at least not be weaker than the geniuses of the Huang and Zhao Families!"

When the Elders heard this, expressions of helplessness appeared on their faces; this hope was shattered!

While the Qin Family was in urgent discussion, several figures were standing at the gate of Saint Symbol City, filled with admiration.

Saint Symbol City was too large, much larger than North Shore City, which Zhou Yuan had visited; even from hundreds of meters in the sky, one could not see its end.

This group of people was precisely Zhou Yuan and his three companions.

That day, after Left Yanxi was resurrected, she did not disappoint Zhou Yuan, and her cultivation reached the Half-Step Cave Heaven Realm.

Moreover, Left Yanxi's qi and blood were vigorous, and she could break through to the Cave Heaven Realm in at most half a year!

When Zi Ying and the others saw this, they were all extremely envious!

After Left Yanxi was resurrected, she proposed to Zhou Yuan to return to the Dan Domain!

Only then did Zhou Yuan realize that Left Yanxi, like Qin Yao, was actually from the Dan Domain.

Left Yanxi was even the eldest daughter of the Left Family's patriarch in the Dan Domain, and she had self-destructed her Physical Body because she was framed.

Zhou Yuan felt a bit conflicted; the two people he resurrected were actually from the same place, which truly was a kind of fate.

However, he agreed to Left Yanxi's request, as she would not be of much use if she stayed by his side.

But he did not erase his own mark from Left Yanxi's soul, and Left Yanxi did not mention it either.

For Left Yanxi, returning to the Left Family to contend for the position of patriarch was the most important thing now.

She had originally wanted to invite Zhou Yuan to go with her, knowing clearly that with Zhou Yuan's help, her chances of success would be much greater.

Zhou Yuan naturally would not go, but he left Chen Wuping with Left Yanxi and also gave Chen Wuping more than ten Seventh-Order Talismans.

The reason he left Chen Wuping by Left Yanxi's side was, firstly, to learn about the Dan Domain through Chen Wuping.

Secondly, he had arranged for Chen Wuping to do a very important thing.

Although Chen Wuping was reluctant, he eventually left with Left Yanxi.

Therefore, at this moment, only Leng Qingxue, Zi Ying, and Zhu Zi were by Zhou Yuan's side.

"This city is incredible, it should be the largest city I've ever seen!"

Zi Ying was very emotional; she was also shocked by the Saint Symbol City before her eyes.

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, then calmly said, "I've done some research before!"

"It is said that the largest spiritual pulse of the Saint Talisman Domain is beneath this city, which is why the Six Great Eighth-Order Talisman families have gathered here!"

"In addition to these Six Great Families, many smaller families have also gathered here!"

"It can be said that Saint Symbol City is the core of the Saint Talisman Domain; its rise and fall are related to the rise and fall of the entire Saint Talisman Domain!"

Zhou Yuan's introduction made Leng Qingxue and the others nod in agreement; this explanation made sense.

"This Fellow Daoist is right, Saint Symbol City is not an ordinary place; it has a long heritage and profound cultural depth."

"Besides the spiritual pulse that Fellow Daoist just mentioned, there is an even more important identity here: it was the Talisman City designated by the Piao Miao Sect back then!"

Just as Zhou Yuan's voice fell, an old man spoke with a smile.

The old man's hair and beard were completely white, but his face was rosy, indicating he was no ordinary person!

He was none other than Mu Tianji, the Pavilion Master of Tianyan Pavilion!

Mu Tianji had actually arrived in Saint Symbol City yesterday; his entry into the world this time was specifically for Zhou Yuan!

Zhou Yuan turned to look at Mu Tianji and immediately felt that he was extraordinary, but he did not sense any aura from Mu Tianji, which made him very curious!

He couldn't help but activate his Qi Luck Eye, wanting to see who the other party was!

【Ding! Heavenly secrets are obscured, Qi Luck Eye cannot view!】

Just then, the System's voice rang in his mind, greatly startling Zhou Yuan.

Since the Qi Luck Eye was activated, this was the first person he couldn't probe with it, which instantly made him vigilant.

"Thank you for your guidance, old sir. May I ask your name?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and cupped his fists, his attitude quite polite.

Mu Tianji smiled slightly, then said in a voice like warm jade, "We met by chance, so it's not really guidance."

"I just happened to hear your words, Young Master, and merely interjected. You don't need to take it to heart!"

After Mu Tianji finished speaking, he walked directly towards Saint Symbol City, ignoring Zhou Yuan and his group.

Mu Tianji knew very well that his purpose in coming this time was to get acquainted with Zhou Yuan, so he could arrange other coincidental encounters later!

Zhou Yuan watched the other party's departing back, his brows slightly furrowed; this old man was a bit too mysterious.

Zhou Yuan was already very cautious, and although the other party acted extremely naturally, he still sensed something amiss.

After all, there were many people at the city gate; was it a coincidence that the other party specifically approached him?

Or was it deliberately arranged?

Zhou Yuan and the other three no longer lingered. After paying the spiritual stones for entry, they entered Saint Symbol City.

The city was very prosperous, and there were many pedestrians on the streets.

There were also quite a few groups like Zhou Yuan's, traveling together.

Leng Qingxue had already put on her veil; she knew very well that her exposed face would definitely attract trouble.

The place Zhou Yuan was going to was the Qin Family. He asked around a bit and immediately knew the Qin Family's location.

They then headed in the direction of the Qin Family.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Yuan's mouth. Qin Chen had mentioned the Saint Talisman Domain Talisman Competition to him back then; he should not be too late now that he had arrived!
