Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Saintess Wanyue
"Brother Yue Ming!"
When everyone reacted, those disciples of Canglan also rushed over, helping Yue Ming up from the ground.
"So strong!"
Yue Ming’s eyes showed a look of apprehension as he stared at Ji Chen.
He had never expected that with just a single finger, the other party could inflict such severe injury on him.
Who on earth was this person?
Given that he was at the Void Realm Seventh Layer himself, to be defeated so effortlessly indicated that the opponent must at least be at the Void Realm Ninth Layer!
Not just on Yunwei Star, but looking across the entire Dusk Wind Star Realm, when had there been such a young ruler among the contemporary youth?
"Don’t spoil the mood here, if you linger any longer, be careful your life might be at stake," Ji Chen spoke softly.
Not that he was boastful, with his and Lin Ruoxue’s strength and status, even if they killed Yue Ming, what could the Canglan Sacred Land possibly do to them?
Let’s not mention the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, just the Lin Family alone is enough to make Canglan Sacred Land wary.
"You!"
Upon hearing Ji Chen’s words, Yue Ming’s complexion became even uglier.
As a direct disciple of the Saint Master, when had anyone ever dared speak to him like this?
But now, an unknown young man was speaking threats, even daring to say he would kill him.
This undoubtedly made Yue Ming feel extremely humiliated.
However, as they say, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.
He understood that this man and woman must have an extraordinary background and identity, and with the strength of himself and his companions, they were no match at all.
If they continued to get entangled, they would only bring trouble upon themselves.
The wisest choice now, of course, was to leave first.
"This grudge, I will remember,"
Finally, after letting out a cold snort, he left the Jade Bamboo Tower with the remaining disciples of Canglan, tails tucked.
Meanwhile, those cultivators still dining around were inexorably astonished and began to speculate about the identities of Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue.
Such power from someone who inflicted serious injury on Yue Ming couldn’t be simple.
After all, Yue Ming was the direct disciple of the Canglan Saint Master; surely they must consider carefully before striking him.
Yet amidst the whispers of those around, Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue paid no attention.
Soon, after finishing their meal and drink, they also departed from the Jade Bamboo Tower.
"This so-called ’Immortal Drunk’ is nothing much, brewed with some special herbs, somewhat speeding up the cultivation pace, but that’s about it," Ji Chen remarked as they strolled through the bustling streets.
By now, night had fallen, and on both sides of the street, a long row of red lanterns was lit, which from a high vantage point would look like a giant fiery dragon coiled around Yanhua City, very splendid.
Lin Ruoxue simply smiled and then glanced at the sky, "The sky is without starlight, utterly dark, a sign of the blood moon’s imminent appearance. It’s likely that the legendary phenomenon will descend tonight."
"There is a Moon Viewing Pavilion towards the northern part of the city, reputed as the best spot for moon gazing. Many cultivators should be gathering there now; brother, do you wish to join me?" she inquired.
"Since I’m here, I naturally shouldn’t miss it, I’ll rather like to see how mysterious this so-called blood moon phenomenon is," Ji Chen said.
Soon, the two walked towards the northern part of the city, with many cultivators heading in the same direction, evidently all here for moon viewing.
Before long, they reached an empty area.
Looking around, there was a huge lake here, its surface reflecting the night sky, extremely clear.
By this time, countless cultivators had already gathered here, an uncountable number, primarily young talents.
On one side of the lakeshore stood over ten pavilions of various sizes, all crowded with people now.
Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue’s arrival did not draw any attention.
They casually found a place to sit, quietly waiting for the blood moon phenomenon to arrive.
"Boom!"
Not far away, occasional sounds of fighting could be heard, but they weren’t too intense.
It was apparent that some young talents were having a spar.
Amidst such a gathering of youths, naturally, some bouts of competitive fighting would occur.
But overall, the young ones gathered here tonight were relatively lower in cultivation compared to Lin Ruoxue and Ji Chen.
Void Realm Ninth Layer was almost considered the pinnacle, with impressive backgrounds, either as Young Masters of an emperor’s race or Saint Heirs of a Sacred Land.
Occasionally, some figures could be seen floating gracefully from afar, with unparalleled elegance, they were famed Saintess-level talents from various realms of Mu Feng, naturally drawing the eyes and attention here.
"The Saintess Wanyue is here."
Nearby to Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue, a crowd suddenly exclaimed.
Looking over, they saw a young woman dressed in a white gown, exceptionally beautiful and unrivaled in grace.
Winding Moon Sacred Land was one of the strongest ancient sects in the Dusk Wind Star Realm today, said to have an unfathomable age span; in terms of strength and heritage, among the Nine Great Star Domains, not many could compare.
And on the Saintess Wanyue, Ji Chen sensed an extraordinary aura, her cultivation had reached the Saint Realm level, and judging by the faintly emanating aura, it was at least Saint Realm Third Layer above!
In today’s world, besides the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, were there such young experts in the Nine Great Star Domains? It somewhat surprised Ji Chen.
"It’s Jingxuan, I didn’t expect her to be here too," Lin Ruoxue suddenly announced.
"You know her?" Ji Chen was astonished.
She simply nodded and replied with a smile, "Back when I was still in Mu Feng, I always had a good relationship with Jingxuan."
"During that time, there was intense competition among Mu Feng’s youth for the Emperor’s Road, later many of us joined the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, and with Jingxuan’s talent, she naturally qualified to go, but she refused, aiming for one of the few emperor’s slots within Mu Feng."
Ji Chen understood upon hearing this.
In Daoxuan, there were young rulers who chose not to join the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, similar in thought with Saintess Wanyue.
Yuwen Jingxuan, the most dazzling young ruler of Mu Feng today, after Lin Ruoxue and others left, undoubtedly became the number one among the youth of Mu Feng now, with her Saint Realm cultivation famous across the world, towering above all contemporaries.
"Hmm?"
And just as Ji Chen and Lin Ruoxue were conversing, suddenly, not far from them, several familiar figures appeared.
"Brother Gu Ming, it’s him, he’s the one who hurt us at the Jade Bamboo Tower!" a voice came through into his ears.
Ji Chen glanced, recognizing the speaker, it was Yue Ming whom he had encountered earlier at the Jade Bamboo Tower.
