Chapter 56

Remember for a second 【↘→】, providing you with a wonderful novel reading experience. At the end of Ye Wuxie's gaze, a silver light pillar rose into the sky, with a radius of a hundred zhang. The intense silver light spread out, enveloping the surrounding hundred zhang of land, making it impossible to see what was hidden inside.

"Hmm... huff"

Faintly, Ye Wuxie seemed to hear a very subtle, almost breathing-like sound emanating from the silver light pillar, echoing in all directions in an instant.

Listening carefully for a moment, Ye Wuxie still couldn't identify what kind of sound it was, so he temporarily withdrew his attention and refocused on the silver light pillar.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Wuxie clearly saw that the silver light pillar pierced the clouds, seemingly connecting with the sky of the Hundred Yuan Realm. Although the silver light pillar rose into the sky, it emitted a faint sense of majesty and unpredictability, causing everyone who saw it to be deeply moved and amazed.

"The cultivator who left the Primordial Yang inheritance must have far surpassed the seven realms of the Ordinary World; otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a powerful aura and fluctuation."

Mao Honglian's beautiful eyes flashed with a hidden admiration, and the silver light pillar gave her a tremendous shock as well.

"Beyond the seven realms of the Ordinary World, that would be... the Dustless Realm, right?"

Lin Yingluo's eyes, which were usually cold, shone with a dazzling light, her gaze filled with a sense of infinite longing.

"The Dustless Realm, the Dustless Realm, what kind of realm is that?"

Beside her, Sima Ao looked at the silver light pillar and spoke softly, his face filled with excitement and longing.

Ye Wuxie's gaze sharpened, and his heart burned with a fierce passion at that moment!

Cultivators practice to climb to more powerful realms, like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you will fall behind.

Not to mention, Ye Wuxie carried a pressure that ordinary people couldn't imagine. He needed powerful strength, strength powerful enough to support his beliefs and goals.

"Blood Dragon Jade... the first main city, it's almost time..."

Murmuring to himself, Ye Wuxie's gaze was sharp and piercing.

"Hmm? This fluctuation..."

Feeling a sudden, unpredictable, and powerful fluctuation, Ye Wuxie's heart tightened. The fluctuation rapidly approached from a distance.

Almost immediately, the dozens of people present felt this fluctuation, and their faces changed, their eyes filled with deep wariness and caution.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Three sounds of breaking wind echoed, and three figures appeared. The leader wore white clothes and a white robe, even his eyebrows were white, but he didn't look ugly at all. His handsome face, as if carved from stone, made him stand out even more, drawing everyone's attention.

This man stood still, his white eyebrows slightly furrowed, his seemingly peaceful gaze sweeping the surroundings.

Everyone who was swept by this gaze immediately tensed up, their eyes narrowing, as if facing a great enemy, and they cursed inwardly.

"Shen Yushu! This is Shen Yushu! He has the cultivation of the late Essence Soul Realm!"

"Shen Yushu from Flowing Cloud Main City! This is going to be troublesome!"

"Hmph! So what if he's in the late Essence Soul Realm? Even ants can bite an elephant to death!"

...

The white-browed man, Shen Yushu, scanned the area and then withdrew his gaze. His eyes remained calm, but deep within, there was a hint of deep disdain.

Ye Wuxie also looked at this white-browed man, the sense of caution in his heart not fading but turning into a sense of gravity: "This man is a late Essence Soul Realm cultivator. With my current combat strength, if I face him, I will surely lose unless I use the Nine Heavens Holy Lotus Flower."

This outcome was not unexpected by Ye Wuxie, but the actual feeling was completely different from what he had imagined. From this white-browed man, Ye Wuxie felt an extremely oppressive and intimidating aura. He even realized that even if he formed the Dragon Assault Formation, he couldn't last ten moves against this man!

"This is the power of a late Essence Soul Realm expert..."

Withdrawing his gaze, a sense of wariness welled up in Ye Wuxie's heart, but more than that was a desire for strength. He lightly touched his storage ring with his thumb, and his expectations for the Primordial Yang inheritance rose even higher.

"Ah! Big Sister, it's bad! White-browed Shen Yushu is here too!"

Xiao Baiou's slightly surprised voice whispered, but it didn't escape Ye Wuxie's ears.

Mao Honglian, standing gracefully in the wind, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, glanced at the white-browed man in the distance, her eyes flashing with a hint of helplessness and annoyance, as if this white-browed man had caused her considerable trouble in the past.

Xiao Baiou's surprised words and Mao Honglian's furrowed brows were all seen by Ye Wuxie. His eyes moved, and he took a step forward, standing beside Mao Honglian: "Sister Mao, what's wrong? Does this white-browed man have a grudge against you?"

On this journey, they initially met the three Mao sisters due to Lin Yingluo, and later fought side by side, relying on each other, defeating many opponents. Now they could stand here. So in Ye Wuxie's heart, the three Mao sisters had long been considered his friends.

Seeing Mao Honglian perhaps having a grudge against that white-browed man, out of friendship and principle, Ye Wuxie couldn't just stand by and do nothing, even if the white-browed man had the cultivation of the late Essence Soul Realm and unpredictable combat strength. But... so what?

Wariness does not mean fear.

Mao Honglian looked at the black-robed youth who suddenly stood beside her, surprised. Listening to his warm words, her eyes met his, and she saw the determination and concern in Ye Wuxie's eyes. It seemed that if she really had a grudge against Shen Yushu and he came to seek revenge, Ye Wuxie would not hesitate to act.

"Ha ha"

Unable to help it, she covered her mouth and laughed, hiding the touch of emotion in her heart. Her eyes twinkled, and she replied with a teasing tone: "Brother Wuxie, are you worried about your Sister Mao? Do you consider Sister Mao a good friend? Or... do you like Sister Mao?"

The serious Ye Wuxie never expected Mao Honglian to suddenly say such words, and he almost didn't react. When he finally did, he awkwardly coughed.

"Ha ha ha..."

Seeing Ye Wuxie's reaction, Mao Honglian couldn't help but giggle. Mao Qingye and Xiao Baiou also laughed, and even Lin Yingluo's usually cold face showed a hint of a smile.

"Alright, Brother Wuxie, I won't tease you anymore. That white-browed man is named Shen Yushu, the first genius of Flowing Cloud Main City. He is powerful and famous among the hundred main cities. Before the Hundred Cities Battle, I once... met him. At that time, he was almost in the late Essence Soul Realm. I didn't expect that after just two days and two nights, he not only fully entered the late Essence Soul Realm but also stabilized his cultivation."

As Mao Honglian introduced him, Ye Wuxie's eyes narrowed, recalling the white jade platform, but he couldn't remember seeing this man. He realized that Shen Yushu might have been one of those who deliberately hid themselves, otherwise, with his white eyebrows, he wouldn't have escaped Ye Wuxie's notice.

Just as Mao Honglian was about to continue, Xiao Baiou, with her cute face puffed up, interrupted: "This white-browed man has been纠缠着大姐，说喜欢大姐，还放出风说大姐已经是他的女人，任何人都不准碰！蛮横霸道，哼！真是讨厌死了！"

Mao Honglian gave Xiao Baiou a slightly scolding look, as if blaming her for bringing up the wrong topic, and Xiao Baiou stuck out her tongue.

After Xiao Baiou's explanation, Ye Wuxie finally understood why the two sisters had such expressions earlier.

"Although Shen Yushu has remarkable talent and powerful cultivation, he is too hypocritical, two-faced, and has questionable character. However, Flowing Cloud Main City ranks in the top twenty among the hundred main cities, and the city lord of Flowing Cloud Main City has a good relationship with our Pure Lotus Main City's city lord. So over the years, despite my lack of any good feelings towards him, I haven't wanted to offend him too much."

Since Xiao Baiou had broken the silence, Mao Honglian decided to tell Ye Wuxie everything about Shen Yushu.

After listening to the two sisters, Ye Wuxie's eyes narrowed, finally understanding the whole situation.

"Shen Yushu has also chosen the Primordial Yang inheritance. This will inevitably lead to a conflict. With his current cultivation, he will be a tough opponent."

Thinking this, Ye Wuxie shared his thoughts.

"Ha ha... Honglian, you've chosen the silver light pillar too. It seems our connection is really deep!"

A joyful laugh echoed from a distance, followed by the sound of a martial robe breaking the wind.

Shen Yushu, with his originally calm eyes now filled with joy, stared at the distant red figure emitting a gentle light, his eyes burning with passion, but deep within, a strong desire surged.

However, he soon noticed Ye Wuxie standing beside Mao Honglian, his eyes narrowing, a cold light flashing. Feeling the peak mid-Imperial Soul Realm fluctuations from Ye Wuxie, he inwardly sneered.

"Whoosh"

Shen Yushu stood calmly, his white clothes and robe making him look handsome, his white eyebrows adding to his charm.

"Honglian, has your Hundred Cities Jade Seal been upgraded to purple? If not, give it to me. Don't worry, I will definitely help you. The same goes for Second Sister and Third Sister. We are all one family."

Shen Yushu's tone was intimate, as if Mao Honglian was already his wife, and he directly called Mao Qingye and Xiao Baiou Second Sister and Third Sister, which left Ye Wuxie slightly taken aback.

"Who is one family with you! Who is your Third Sister! Shen Yushu! I don't allow you to call me that! Hmph!"

Xiao Baiou spoke angrily, her face full of indignation, while Mao Qingye, though silent, her eyes showed deep disgust.

However, Shen Yushu seemed used to their reactions, still smiling at Mao Honglian, his eyes filled with admiration. But then his gaze fell on Lin Yingluo, standing behind Ye Wuxie, her purple dress, black hair, and exposed shoulders, her cold and beautiful face, and he was instantly captivated.

"Master Shen, thank you for your kindness, but we three sisters don't need to trouble you."

Mao Honglian spoke politely, but Ye Wuxie could clearly sense the distance and coldness in her tone.

"Ha ha, Honglian, why are you being so formal with me? There's definitely a powerful cultivator's inheritance hidden under this silver light pillar. Although the people here are not very strong, they have the advantage in numbers. Honglian, you three sisters should stay with me. I will not only ensure your safety but also make sure you get a share of the inheritance. Don't waste your energy and time with just anyone; they might even hold you back."

Shen Yushu kept his eyes on Mao Honglian, completely ignoring Ye Wuxie, as if he didn't exist.

"Come, Honglian, in this Hundred Yuan Realm, we need to rely on each other. With your wisdom and my strength, we will surely achieve ultimate victory!"

Staring intently at Mao Honglian, Shen Yushu spoke with confidence, growing more excited as he spoke. Suddenly, he smiled and extended his right hand, quickly grabbing Mao Honglian's hand.

Mao Honglian didn't expect Shen Yushu to make such a move, and with his speed, she couldn't react in time, and he grabbed her hand.

"Shen Yushu! Do you have any shame as a man! Let go of my sister!"

Seeing her sister being taken advantage of, Xiao Baiou was immediately alarmed, and Mao Qingye's face flashed with coldness, and the two sisters were almost ready to attack!

"Master Shen, please be respectful. Let go of your hand, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Feeling Shen Yushu's tight grip on her hand, Mao Honglian was finally angry but still maintained a bit of rationality.

Feeling the smoothness and warmth in his hand, Shen Yushu smiled even more, not at all worried about Mao Qingye and Xiao Baiou's impending attack or Mao Honglian's anger. His eyes flashed with a cunning look, and he laughed: "Your master has already agreed with my master that after the Hundred Cities Battle, you will be married to me! Ha ha, Honglian, you are destined to be my woman!"

Upon hearing this, the three Mao sisters were shocked, their faces turning pale, especially Mao Honglian, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

"Impossible! Shen Yushu! Don't talk nonsense! How could Master let my sister marry you!"

Xiao Baiou immediately shouted in anger.

"Whether you believe it or not, you will know after the Hundred Cities Battle. Now, Honglian, come with me."

Seeing Mao Honglian's slightly dazed expression, Shen Yushu felt an immense sense of pleasure, inwardly sneering: "Mao Honglian, you can't escape my grasp. Once I marry you, I will slowly and thoroughly love you."

A flash of desire crossed his eyes, and Shen Yushu tightened his grip, pulling the dazed Mao Honglian off balance.

"Thud"

A white, slender hand suddenly steadied Mao Honglian's waist, and another hand firmly placed itself on her arm, which Shen Yushu had forcefully grabbed. A calm voice from Ye Wuxie followed.

"These days, there are really a lot of weirdos. Can just anyone touch a woman like this?"
