Chen Yi and the others hesitated upon hearing that. It was not really a secret anyway. If Gu Changge and the others wanted to find out about it, they could not hide it from them.

 

As such, they told them about the reason they were heading to the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

They had a letter from the Righteous Alliance. Upon their arrival, they would see if there was a chance for them to pass the letter to the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader.

 

After finding out their intention, Mu Fuguang donned an awkward expression.

 

She turned to look at Gu Changge, who was still calm and collected. It seemed that he was already aware of it, but he never bothered to brought it up. She thought, [How cunning of you.]

 

Still, she did not know Gu Changge well, so she was not certain if he had any other ulterior motive. Therefore, she dared not say anything.

 

Dao Monarch Chang Ming, Buddha Bei Ci, and Tong Xian felt awkward as well. They intended to say something, but they tactfully kept their mouths shut in the end.

 

“Have you ever seen the true appearance of the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader?” Mu Fuguang asked with a smile. Her eyes were bright and alluring, such that any man would easily fall for her.

 

After hesitating for a bit, Chen Yi and the others shook their heads.

 

Rarely anyone in the Boundless Expanse had seen the true appearance of the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader before.

 

The Forces behind them were far away from the Primary Hope Civilisation, so they had never come into contact with the Heavenslayers Alliance. Hence, how were they supposed to see the true appearance of the legendary Heavenslayers Alliance Leader?

 

After giving it some thought, Chen Yi said carefully, “I suppose that Alliance Leader is cruel and intimidating. That’s why so many people in the Boundless Expanse are wary of him.”

 

Priestess Hui Jue and the others nodded in agreement.

 

The smile on Mu Fuguang’s face widened. She took a look at Gu Changge. When she saw that he was still emotionless, a laugh almost escaped her.

 

“That’s right. That Alliance Leader probably has three heads and six arms. Not only is he fat and hideous, but he’s also vicious and cruel. Ouch!” She spoke with a smile, but before she could finish her words, she felt a slap on the back of her head.

 

She turned her head and saw Gu Changge slowly retracting his hand. “Don’t you think you’re being too noisy? Seems like I’ll have to get a thread to stitch up your mouth.”

 

Mu Fuguang was instantly fearful. Her eyelashes fluttered and she quickly covered her smooth lips with her hands.

 

People like Buddha Bei Ci, Dao Monarch Chang Ming, and Tong Xian lowered their heads, pretending to not see anything.

 

Chen Yi and the others were confused. They felt something was off, but they could not put a finger on it.

 

“It so happens that we’re going to the Heavenslayers Alliance as well. Lady Chen Yi, if you’re fine with it, we can set off together.” Gu Changge glanced at her and spoke gently.

 

“That’s wonderful… It’s the best outcome we could hope for. We’ll have to trouble all of you on our journey, then.” Chen Yi and the others were elated and surprised upon hearing that.

 

They naturally longed to set off with Gu Changge and the others, for that would mean they would be safe during the journey.

 

Given the horrifying power these people possessed, they would not have to worry even if dark beings came to harass them.

 

As for the reason Gu Changge and the others were heading to the Heavenslayers Alliance, they believe they should not ask.

 

The sky was getting brighter as the Sun rose from the horizon. It was a magnificent sight.

 

Gu Changge waved his hand. A ray of light came over and turned into a massive ancient flying boat. Then, he took Chen Yi and the others with him and disappeared into a Spacetime portal.

 

He initially had no intention of taking Chen Yi and the others with him. However, after making a deduction, he realised he could make use of them.

 

Certainly, the karmic connection between Chen Yi and Gu Xianer was one of the reasons he decided to help them. Otherwise, Chen Yi and the others might not be able to reach the Heavenslayers Alliance, considering how weak they were.

 

The flying boat was rapidly passing through the Spacetime portal as the universes and Star Territories around them seemed to be moving backwards.

 

Chen Yi and the others knew nothing about the identities and backgrounds of people like Gu Changge and Mu Fuguang. They were tactful enough not to ask any questions.

 

When they finally calmed down, they started contacting the Forces behind them and informed them about what happened after they were ambushed by dark beings.

 

There were dozens of people in the beginning, but now, only several of them were left. This made Chen Yi and the others sorrowful.

 

If not for Gu Changge’s help, they would’ve been killed just like the rest the night before. They were truly lucky to have survived.

 

…

 

“Princess Weiyang is indeed the Jewel of the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty. That melody is so moving that no words in the world can describe it regardless of how hard I try. I have no more regrets in my life after listening to it.”

 

“That’s right. The melody is supposed to only exist in Heaven. We in the Mortal World are truly honoured to have a chance to listen to it.”

 

“If not for the Ninth Prince of the Imperial South Kingdom, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to listen to Princess Weiyang play this song.”

 

It was a pavilion on the lake that was connected by bridges. The lake was covered in lotuses.

 

Beside the lake was a white-clothed woman who looked like she had stepped out of a painting. The place was covered in a Celestial Mist. She was seated on the ground, and her eyes were covered in a white cloth. At the moment, she was playing the zither with her slender hands.

 

Her fingers were bony and fair. Her fingernails were smooth and healthy. The melodious rhythm sounded as she struck the strings.

 

The sounds of the zither were soothing. The notes seemed to have a life of their own as they danced in the void. All these cultivators and living beings were mesmerised in the music.

 

“Although Princess Weiyang is blind, she’s adept at all artistic skills. It could be said that she’s an expert in playing the zither. Her technique is incredible, leaving all who hear it awe-struck.”

 

In the pavilion, a handsome man in golden clothes nodded repeatedly. Admiration was written all over his face.

 

He was imposing as his dark hair hung loose around his shoulders. He also seemed domineering. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth faintly whirled around him. His natural dominance made it difficult for the people around him to breathe.

 

“You have a point, Ninth Prince. Be it her cultivation aptitude or other skills, Princess Weiyang is unrivalled among her peers. That is a reason she’s touted to be the Jewel of the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty.”

 

“In my opinion, only an incredible prodigy like you is a perfect match for Princess Weiyang, Ninth Prince.”

 

The rest around the man in golden clothes spoke in agreement.

 

It was apparent that many were fawning over him.

 

The man in golden clothes was named Ye Wudao, the Ninth Prince of the Imperial South Kingdom. At the same time, he was also a descendant of the King of the Imperial South Kingdom, born in this epoch.

 

In the history of Imperial South Kingdom, there had never been anyone more talented than him. His foundation was basically unrivalled.

 

The King of the Imperial South Kingdom had also paid a huge price to build up this foundation for him. Although he was only several thousand years old, he was already at the peak of the Immortal Realm and one step away from the Dao Realm.

 

A young man like him was noble and talented. He was famous across different Civilisations and Kingdoms. He was literally unrivalled among his peers.

 

Certainly, some even said that the Ninth Prince had already ascended to the Dao Realm. However, to rebuild a supreme Dao Base, he shattered his Dao Fruit and entered the Immortal Realm again.

 

His resilience and determination were shocking. Many admired him.

 

Some rumours even said that the King of the Imperial South Kingdom once used an incredible technique to build an ancient Spacetime path for Ye Wudao. This allowed Ye Wudao to fight from the current generation to ancient times, suppressing many powerful peers in different Civilisations and Kingdoms.

 

His military achievements were also astounding and numerous.

 

When news spread that the Main Happiness Emperor was choosing a Husband for his Daughter, it caused a commotion in many Civilisations and Kingdoms.

 

Those from the Immortal Forces were tempted. They quickly sent their powerful prodigies to the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty to fight for a chance.

 

Nevertheless, those prodigies paled when compared to Ye Wudao.

 

In just a few days after Ye Wudao arrived at the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty, he defeated many opponents of the same generation. They knew they were not a match for Ye Wudao and they were despondent.

 

On the other hand, Princess Weiyang greeted these talented young men as per the Main Happiness Emperor’s request. That was why she played the song.

 

Given how noble Princess Weiyang was, she normally would not play a song for anyone.

 

After the music ended, Princess Weiyang rose to her feet and kept the zither. Then, she saluted these talented young men who could not get enough of her music. After that, she returned to the pavilion with the help of her maidservant.

 

Many brilliant young men who had arrived in the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty gathered in this place. Other than Ye Wudao, many of them had amazing backgrounds. They were all inscrutable. They were all unrivalled in this generation.

 

They were seated in different corners. When they saw Princess Weiyang approaching, they smiled and went over in an attempt to give her some presents.

 

Upon their arrival in the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty, it was the first time these young men could see the true appearance of Princess Weiyang from a short distance.

 

Although her eyes were covered with a piece of white cloth, she was still alluring. Her curvy figure was surrounded by a layer of mist. Her presence soothed their minds.

 

Even if she was not a Princess, any man would be drawn to her beauty.

 

Ye Wudao had come with the order from the King of the Imperial South Kingdom. He was determined to marry this Jewel.

 

Upon seeing how the others acted, he frowned with displeasure. Why were these men approaching the Princess so quickly when he hadn’t even gotten to his feet?

 

“Stop being so eager, everyone. Princess Weiyang has just played a song, so she needs some rest. It’s inappropriate for all of you to disturb her like this.” Ye Wudao smiled. As he spoke, he picked up a wine cup with his right hand and tossed it at the people who were approaching Princess Weiyang.

 

The immense energy exploded, causing the void to show signs of collapsing.

 

If they were in any ordinary universe, such an attack could easily destroy a Star Territory.

 

These brilliant young men were flabbergasted. Some tried to fend it off, but it was too late. The wine soon splashed on them. Embarrassed, they donned dark expressions.

 

“Stop being so arrogant, Ye Wudao. If not for the fact that I’m worried I’ll ruin Princess Weiyang’s mood today, I’ll let you know there are always stronger people out there.” A person donned a gloomy expression. He used his Qi to dry up his sleeve which was dampened by the wine. He stared coldly at Ye Wudao and spoke.

 

Not everyone was wary of Ye Wudao’s identity and power.

 

Brilliant young men who gathered there all had powerful backgrounds. When it came to cultivation, Ye Wudao was not the strongest. Several of these young men would soon ascend to the Dao Realm as well.

 

“Well, all of you should stop being so eager. Your actions are laughable. I feel sorry for Princess Weiyang because she had to play a song for ordinary people like you.” Ye Wudao put on a playful smile. He did not care that the other men were glowering at him. He would just continue to do whatever he wanted to.

 

“It seems that I’ll have no choice but to teach you a lesson.” The person who had spoken earlier activated his power. A horrifying scene was enacted behind his icy gaze.

 

If they appeared weak and timid in front of Princess Weiyang, they no longer had to compete for her heart.

 

Naturally, they could see through Ye Wudao’s despicable plan.

 

“Bring it on.” Ye Wudao smiled. He was pleased to see this outcome.

 

He did not have the time and energy to slowly win Princess Weiyang’s heart. He would surely win by defeating these brilliant young men and destroying their Dao Hearts.

 

He would defeat anyone who dared to snatch Princess Weiyang from him. It was as simple as that.

 

“Everyone, please calm down for my sake. Don’t fight over such a trivial matter.” Princess Weiyang spoke just then to prevent the conflict from escalating.

 

The prodigy who had spoken earlier hesitated upon hearing that. He did not want to be humiliated by another man in front of Princess Weiyang. However, if he made the Princess displeased, he would lose the chance to pursue her.

 

“It’s just a friendly match. Don’t worry about it, Princess Weiyang.” Ye Wudao kept a faint smile on his face. He was domineering and haughty. Upon rising to his feet, he directly pushed out his palm and cast an attack at the young prodigy. It did not seem like he took his opponent seriously.

 

Princess Weiyang frowned with displeasure.

 

She had come to greet these young men as per the Main Happiness Emperor’s order. She was not here to watch them fight.

 

*Boom!*

 

Suddenly, a tremor was felt and the void trembled. It was like two meteorites clashed with one another. The horrifying energy exploded and dissipated.

 

The runes around the void fell apart to continuously offset the impact.

 

“Since Princess Weiyang doesn’t want to see any fight, you’d better behave yourself, Ninth Prince.” A figure suddenly stepped forward and warded off Ye Wudao’s attack. The Mist of Chaos billowed from his eyes. As he opened his eyes, the scene of the creation of Heaven and Earth was re-enacted behind his gaze. His aura was intimidating.

 

“Who are you?” Ye Wudao didn’t expect that someone could fend off his powerful attack. He squinted his eyes.

 

This was a handsome young man clad in silk clothes. His gaze was calm and he was sedate.

 

“Zhu Fuyi?”

 

“He’s the Grandson of the Great Deity General.” Some young prodigies could recognise him. They gasped because they found it inconceivable.

 

Zhu Fuyi was famous in the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty. He was strong and rarely anyone from the same generation was a match for him.

 

Nevertheless, he was a nobody compared to Ye Wudao, who was a famous young being in different Civilisations and Kingdoms.

 

When these people saw that he could easily ward off Ye Wudao’s attack, they were shocked. They felt that he was more complicated than he appeared to be. It seemed like he had been hiding his true power this whole time.

 

Princess Weiyang was surprised when she heard the name. She found the name familiar.

 

“Well, that’s interesting.” Ye Wudao smiled and returned to his seat instead of making another move.

 

He could tell that the man named Zhu Fuyi was strong. Perhaps the latter would turn out to be his biggest rival. It would be unwise to get into a fight with him in this place.

 

After fending off Ye Wudao’s attack, Zhu Fuyi never made another move either. He returned to his seat. Although he didn’t look so special among these men, no one dared to underestimate him.

 

Princess Weiyang was surprised. Then, she went to the main seat and the banquet resumed.

 

Following the incident, many brilliant young men were no longer in the mood to stay. After presenting their gifts to the Princess, they hurriedly left.

 

With so many people around, they would never have a chance to speak to Princess Weiyang alone. They could only wait for a chance to spend some time alone with her.

 

It was the same for Ye Wudao. He was displeased that someone dared to defy him. Nevertheless, he did not dare to flare up since he was in the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty.

 

In the end, only the man named Zhu Fuyi stayed.

 

When he saw that Princess Weiyang was about to leave with the help of her maidservant, he suddenly said, “Please stay, Your Highness. My Grandfather is waiting for you in the nearby Serene House. He has something to tell you.”

 

“What is it that the Great Deity General needs to tell me?” Princess Weiyang was startled and confused upon hearing that.

 

Still, she decided to follow Zhu Fuyi and go over there. She did not let her maidservant tag along.

 

Although she could not see, it was not difficult for her to walk around on her own. She did not need anyone to support her. It was unless she had to go to places she was not familiar with.

 

The Great Deity General was one of her Father’s trusted aides, so she did not have to worry that she would fall into danger.

 

It was just that she was curious about why the Great Deity General wanted to speak to her alone. Was it something that couldn’t be discussed in public?

 

Her heart suddenly grew heavy as she recalled her Father’s series of strange actions since her return to the Main Happiness Celestial Dynasty.

 

Zhu Fuyi did not explain anything to her while leading the way. It was his Grandfather who told him to do this.

 

He did not even know what his Grandfather wanted to tell Princess Weiyang. What was more, his Grandfather had chosen this hour.

 

The Serene House was not far away from the pavilion. After bringing Princess Weiyang to this place, Zhu Fuyi directly took his leave.

 

Although he admired Princess Weiyang, he knew his priorities.
