After the ceremony, the people of the Namhwang Clan departed, leaving behind only the Holy Maidens and the guards the Namhwang Clan had assigned to Namhwang Yunxi. Naturally, there were also Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Purgatory.
Namhwang Yunxi's parents also departed after leaving some instructions. After Namhwang Yunxi became the Holy Successor, she was no longer just the pearl in their palms. She would carve out her own future in the Namhwang Clan and become the mistress of the Jiyue Ancient Palace.
Namhwang Yunxi stared at the holy maidens beside her and smiled, "In the future, Yunxi will have to depend on all of you sisters."
"Yunxi, I will continue to work hard in my cultivation. I won't fall behind you." Nanfeng Aoxue was still brooding over her failure to become the Holy Successor. She was the strongest among the holy maidens of this generation, but in the end, the one with the lowest cultivation base, Namhwang Yunxi, became the Holy Successor.
"In that case, sister Aoxue has to work hard." Nanfeng Yunxi didn't mind it as she laughed. Qin Wentian was truly unhappy with Nanfeng Aoxue. She had already been defeated, yet her tone was still so arrogant. If Nanfeng Yunxi had the same bearing as her, she would have countless methods to make it so that Nanfeng Aoxue would never be able to lift her head again.
"Yunxi, there's no need to be so polite. In the future, all of us sisters will listen to your commands. We still need you to take good care of us." Nanfeng Shengge gently smiled.
Namhwang Yunxi smiled. After that, she spoke, "I'm going out for a while. Shengge, come with me."
"Mhm, okay." Nanfeng Shengge smiled and nodded. Namhwang Yunxi then walked towards her guards and spoke to them. A moment later, three of them obeyed.
After doing this, Namhwang Yunxi walked to the side of Qin Wentian and asked, "Shall we move out?"
"You just joined the Jiyue Ancient Palace?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Now that I'm done with my business, it's time to start working on yours." Namhwang Yunxi smiled and stepped out first. Nanfeng Shengge walked to the side of Qin Wentian and winked at him before following behind Namhwang Yunxi.
Qin Wentian shrugged and said, "Let's go."
Then he, Jun Mengchen and the other two followed them, leaving all the saintesses confused. Namhwang Yunxi wanted to help Qin Wentian with what?
Could it be that when Qin Wentian helped Namhwang Yunxi to seize the position of the Saintess of Inheritance, they had reached some kind of agreement? They were all very curious in their hearts but they had no way to find out. Namhwang Yunxi only chose to bring Nanfeng Shengge along.
"Sister Aoxue, don't speak to Yunxi like this in the future. After all, we are now Yunxi's dao protectors. If Yunxi intentionally targets you, I'm afraid the cultivation resources of the Namhwang Clan would have nothing to do with you. If you truly have the heart, just work hard in your cultivation." Nanfeng Qingruo smiled at Nanfeng Aoxue. After that, she didn't wait for Nanfeng Aoxue's reply and turned to leave.
"It's naturally not so easy to change one's identity. However, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain. The Namhwang Clan has been selecting the elites for countless years. Since you lost, you have to accept the truth. Don't forget the mistakes of your predecessors." Nanfeng Qingruo's voice drifted over, causing Nanfeng Aoxue to frown. The other holy maidens also sighed in their hearts.
What Nanfeng Qingruo said was right, it was naturally not easy to change one's identity. But who asked them to be the losers? The identity of a Holy Protector was also a test for those who failed.
On the streets of the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, a group of extraordinary silhouettes were strolling about, attracting the attention of many. This group of men and women was extraordinary with just a single glance. The men were handsome while the women were extremely beautiful. It was a sight to behold.
"Where are we going?" Qin Wentian asked.
"There's a place in the Southern Regions named the God Hand Mountain Manor. The master of the mountain manor is an immortal emperor with supreme archery skills. His title is Emperor Yu and he rarely interferes with the affairs of the immortal realms. He is a solitary cultivator and would often roam around the immortal realms, exuding a mysterious aura as though he stands aloof from worldly affairs. The mountain manor has also accepted many disciples and Emperor Yu has guided many outstanding geniuses in archery but he doesn't accept any disciples. Many people in the Southern Regions feel that Emperor Yu is a good person and because of his high cultivation base, very few people would dare to disturb his peaceful cultivation."
Namhwang Yunxi slowly spoke, "This time around, we are heading to the God Hand Mountain Manor."
"God Hand Mountain Manor …" Qin Wentian mumbled. God's Hand, God Hand Mountain Manor. Was this really a coincidence? Seems like this wasn't the case. Emperor Yu of the God Hand Mountain Manor most probably had a deep relationship with Ancient Emperor Yi.
Nanfeng Shengge felt somewhat bewildered when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes roamed over to Qin Wentian and Namhwang Yunxi. Why did they want to go to the God Hand Mountain Manor?
However, Qin Wentian naturally understood. Most probably, the complete version of God's Hand was in the God Hand Mountain Manor.
"The Phoenix Ancestor told me that everyone thought that Ancient Emperor Yi was only proficient in God's Hand because God's Hand could transform into a myriad of abilities, concealing Ancient Emperor Yi's other abilities. But in truth, when Ancient Emperor Yi was young, his archery skills were extremely powerful." Namhwang Yunxi transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian, her words causing Qin Wentian's eyes to flash. The Phoenix Ancestor was as expected of an old monster that had lived for countless years. She even knew about this. Most probably, this had something to do with the fact that Ancient Emperor Yi lived in the Southern Regions of the immortal realms.
At this moment, a few hundred miles away from Qin Wentian and Namhwang Yunxi, in an inn in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, an extraordinarily handsome figure was sitting cross-legged. His eyes were closed and his ears were perked up. There seemed to be a formless energy gushing forth from his ears, transforming into sound waves that allowed him to hear everything in the surroundings.
In fact, there were even faint golden buddhic runes flashing by his ears. The eyes of this figure opened, gleaming with a bright light as a hint of a smile could be seen in his deep and mysterious eyes.
"God's Hand, God Hand Mountain Manor; Emperor Yi, Emperor Yu. I truly didn't expect this." The young man mumbled in a low voice. After which, he spoke, "Come in."
As the sound of his voice faded, a figure appeared in the courtyard. The figure stared at the young man and greeted, "Young Master Yu."
So it turned out that this young man was none other than Jiang Ziyu, a heaven chosen from one of the three ancient clans of the Namhwang Clan. He had once fought against Qin Wentian and wasn't at a disadvantage. His combat prowess was extremely powerful and mysterious.
"Inform the clan that Emperor Yu has a connection with Emperor Yi. There's a high possibility that the God Hand Mountain Manor has the secret art of Emperor Yi." A faint smile appeared on Jiang Ziyu's face as he commanded.
"Yes." The eyes of that expert flashed with surprise. Young Master Yu was actually able to obtain such news? When he thought of how powerful Jiang Ziyu was, his heart trembled. Right now in the entire Jiang Clan, there were only a handful of immortal-foundation geniuses that could be mentioned in the same breath as Young Master Yu. Jiang Ziyu was the most outstanding heaven's chosen of the Jiang Clan in the past few hundred years. In the future, he would definitely have great accomplishments.
Many people only knew that his eyes were powerful but they didn't know that his ears were as well. Only the members of the Jiang Clan knew how powerful the ultimate arts of the Jiang Clan were.
That expert prepared to leave only to hear Jiang Ziyu interjected, "Hold on."
"Does Young Master Yu have any other instructions?" That person asked. Only to see a mysterious smile on Jiang Ziyu's face as he continued, "Help me inform the people from the four great powers. Tell them to pay a price in exchange for this information. Remember, the price must be high. After you obtain it, spread the news to all the major powers."
The eyes of that expert flashed, he didn't understand why Jiang Ziyu would do this.
"Just do as I say." Jiang Ziyu waved his hands, not going back on his words. Since he has decided on something, he only needed to execute it.
"Yes." That person retreated, he understood what he had to do. Jiang Ziyu was truly ruthless. In this case, the major powers of the Southern Regions would definitely be shaken. In fact, even major powers outside the Southern Regions would be implicated. For example, Zidi's power and Dongsheng Heaven Emperor's power.
...
The Southern Regions of the immortal realms were boundlessly vast. The major powers could be divided according to the three ancient clans. The Namhwang Clan, the Jiang Clan and the Ying Clan each had their own territories. Although the Namhwang Clan and the Jiang Clan didn't have direct control, with them as the center, the surrounding areas were all under their influence. In truth, they had great control over these areas.
Among these three powers, the Ying Clan's territory was the most vast.
Naturally, other than these three major powers, there were also many immortal emperors who had a strong influence on the surrounding powers. And below them, there were many sects established by immortal kings. They were also competing against each other unceasingly.
The God Hand Mountain Manor was very close to the Namhwang Clan's territory. However, the three ancient clans' control over this area wasn't that strong. In addition to the fact that there was an immortal emperor, Emperor Yu, the Namhwang Clan didn't truly extend their influence over here.
In this place, other than the God Hand Mountain Manor, there were also many other immortal king ranked powers.
Qin Wentian and his group borrowed the power of an immortal weapon to soar through the air. The speed of the immortal weapon was extremely fast, it was a puppet phoenix that was extremely vivid and lifelike. This puppet phoenix was extremely valuable and was an immortal-king ranked divine weapon. Not only could it soar through the air, it could also attack and defend. It was only bestowed to Namhwang Yunxi after she became the Holy Successor.
"The immortal realms are truly vast. How long more do we need to reach there?" Jun Mengchen asked. This was still the territory controlled by the Namhwang Clan. They had to borrow the power of an immortal weapon to travel for such a long time.
"Looking at the map, we should be able to reach there within a day." Namhwang Yunxi spoke. She turned her head and glanced at Qin Wentian who was currently cultivating with his eyes closed. She silently mused that this fellow was truly a cultivation maniac. Geniuses also needed to work hard. If not, no matter how high one's talent was, their accomplishments would still be limited.
Because they had been rushing, Namhwang Yunxi and the others didn't know that right now, there were already many major powers that were heading in the same direction as them, towards the direction of the God Hand Mountain Manor.
This was something completely unexpected. Regardless of Namhwang Yunxi or Qin Wentian, none of them would have expected Jiang Ziyu to have the Divine Ears of the Buddhist Sect, able to hear sounds from a thousand miles away. Also, Jiang Ziyu had clearly been watching them for a very long time before he left the Namhwang Clan!
