The melody of the zither continued. It was gentle and joyous, as if it was playing the changes of the rules of heaven and earth. It was also as if it was using a unique method to control the rules of heaven and earth, forcibly changing the rules of heaven and earth, dividing this world into another domain and creating its own rules.
Jianchen and Nubis became unprecedentedly stern. The two of them raised their heads to look at the azure sky as they felt extremely shocked. As Saint Rulers, they could obviously sense the changes in the world. Just the sound of the zither was enough to change the laws of the world. The two of them found it extremely unbelievable.
The mysterious person who played the zither had studied the zither to an extremely terrifying level.
The mysteries of heaven and earth descending from the sky were forcefully imprisoned in midair by the laws of heaven and earth. After a moment of rigidity, they slowly rose into the air and were forcefully sent out of this world by the laws of heaven and earth, disappearing into the azure sky.
In the blink of an eye, the mysteries of the world that the three Saint Rulers were helpless against had been dissolved by a single zither song by the mysterious person hidden in the darkness.
A woman in a purple dress slowly walked over from the distant void. The woman was tall, and her beautiful black hair cascaded down naturally. Her face was covered with a green veil, and only a pair of phoenix-like eyes could be seen. Her eyes were bright and captivating. Her slender jade-like fingers gently stroked the strings of the zither, as delicate as mutton fat jade. Her slender waist was incomparably soft, and as she walked, she gently swayed like a beautiful snake.
The woman exuded an otherworldly aura. She was holy and pure, as if she was an otherworldly fairy. She was like a goddess who had descended from the nine heavens. She was clearly different from ordinary women. Although it was impossible to see her appearance, it was not difficult to imagine what realm her beauty had reached. She was as if she was born from the heavens and earth. She was blessed by the heavens and was perfect in one body.
"A demoness, a demoness. She must be a demoness, a terrifying demoness." A sliver of paleness appeared on Nubis' face. He could not help but take a small step back, standing behind Jian Chen. Towards this woman, he felt a fear that came from the depths of his soul. Even when facing the Holy Emperor, he rarely felt this way.
It wasn't that the woman's strength was terrifying, but her existence and the divine abilities she was proficient in were definitely the bane of all demonic beasts. She used her zither to injure her enemies and control everything in the world with her zither music. Her zither music was so terrifying that it was shocking. Although those magical beasts were much stronger than human experts, their souls were their greatest weakness.
"Greetings, Master!" Not only was she the island master of Three Saint Island, but she was also their master.
Jianchen also noticed the woman in a violet dress. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he cried out, "The Heavenly Enchantress!"
The woman in a violet dress was the Heavenly Enchantress that Jianchen had seen once in Mercenary City.
The Heavenly Enchantress stood in the air with her zither in her arms. Her enchanting eyes flickered with a colorful light. She turned her head slightly and looked at Jianchen in the distance, but a gleam of light immediately flashed through her eyes. She gently said, "I think I've seen you before. Are you the Jianchen who won the title of Mercenary King in the last tournament?"
The Heavenly Enchantress' voice was extremely gentle, as if it was the most pleasant song in the world. However, it also possessed an enchanting charm that could make people's emotions surge.
"Demoness, demoness. She really is a demoness. She can steal people's souls with just a few words," Nubis cried out inside as he hid behind Jianchen. The fear in his eyes became even heavier. Just a single sentence had caused the blood in his body to flow much faster. Even his emotions were somewhat out of his control.
Jianchen's emotions surged slightly with the Heavenly Enchantress' enchanting words, but it did not affect him much with his willpower. A strange light flickered through his eyes as he stared at the veiled Heavenly Enchantress. He clasped his hands and said, "I am Jianchen. I never thought that senior would still remember me. I really am honored."
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at Jianchen for a while before gently sighing, "I never thought that you would reach Saint Ruler in just a few short years."
"I was just slightly lucky, reaching Saint Ruler a few days earlier. It's nothing worth mentioning. Compared to senior, I'm like a firefly competing with the moon," Jianchen clasped his hands.
The Heavenly Enchantress did not pay any more attention to Jianchen. She looked at her two disciples and gently said, "Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, go check on him."
"Yes, master!" The two girls politely replied before flying into the cave at the same time. They vanished inside.
Jianchen's gaze followed the two disciples. He looked at the pitch-black cave in the distance and could not help but feel curious. He asked, "Senior, may I ask who lives in the cave and why you're stopping him from reaching Saint Ruler?"
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at the cave in the distance. Only after quite a while did she slowly reply, "He's a disciple who has been expelled from the protector clan. Someone has placed an extremely powerful seal in his head, sealing away his talent, preventing him from reaching Saint Ruler. If the mysteries of the world descend, it will clash with the seal in his head and create a battlefield in his head. He will be heavily affected, and the final outcome will be his soul being destroyed. His soul will disperse from the world forever. Even a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master will not be able to save him."
"A disciple who has been expelled from the protector clans?" Jianchen murmured. He was slightly surprised, but a cold light flashed through his eyes. He could not forget that he had been forced to leave the Tian Yuan Continent by the protector clans.
"Senior, may I ask how much you know about the protector clans? Can you explain it to me?" Jianchen asked.
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at Jianchen indifferently and said, "With your current strength, you should know about this. The protector clans are the most powerful clans on the Tian Yuan Continent aside from Mercenary City. They have existed for a very long time, having existed even before Mo Tianyun had appeared in ancient times. The protector clans are divided into four sects, three clans, two manors, and one pavilion. The four sects are the Potian sect, Shenxiao sect, Yangji Zong, and Yiyuan sect. "
"Yangji Zong! I never thought it really would be a protector clan! " Jianchen murmured. He could not help but think of the small sect he had destroyed in the Qiangan Kingdom.
The Heavenly Enchantress continued, "The three clans are the Heaven's Incense School, the Tyrant's Blade School, and the Heartless School. The remaining two manors and one pavilion are the Changyang Prefecture, the Moyuan clan, and the Pure Heart Pavilion."
"Changyang Prefecture!" Jianchen was immediately surprised when he heard the name 'Changyang Prefecture'. He could not help but think of the Changyang Prefecture in Lore City. However, he soon smiled in a self-deprecating manner. The Changyang Prefecture he had been born in was only a small clan in Lore City. The strongest person, Chang Bo, was only a Heaven Saint Master. It was worlds apart from the protector clans in Changyang Prefecture.
"Looks like it's probably someone with the same name. If the Changyang Prefecture in Lore City really was one of the protector clans, why would the Huayun Sect force them to such a state back then?" Jianchen thought. However, he seemed to think of something soon after and a gleam of light immediately flashed through his eyes, "Hold on, the disciple of the exiled protector clan."
Jianchen's expression changed rapidly. He immediately asked, "Senior, may I ask the name of the person who has been exiled?"
"He's called Changyang Zu Yunkong," the Heavenly Enchantress gently replied.
"Changyang Zu Yunkong. Is he a member of the Changyang clan? Our ancestor just happens to have disappeared for a very long time as well. Is this a coincidence or …" Jianchen murmured. His expression changed rapidly a few times before he clasped his hands at the Heavenly Enchantress. He pleaded, "Senior, can I see that person?"
"He's already sunk into a slumber. Don't make too much of a disturbance and wake him up, or he'll be heavily injured," the Heavenly Enchantress gently said. Her voice was enchanting.
Jianchen did not hesitate at all after receiving permission. With a single movement, he entered the cave.
The cave was filled with fist-sized luminous pearls. They shone with a gentle light, illuminating the entire cave. Jianchen continued forward for a hundred meters before his vision suddenly opened up. He had already arrived in a huge cave that was several dozen meters wide. At this moment, the walls of the cave were full of cracks, and some scattered rocks were scattered on the ground. The ground was full of potholes and holes, and the scene was a mess.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue stood in the center of the cave with zithers in their arms. Before them was an old man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes who looked like a beggar. He was currently unconscious.
Jianchen gently made his way over. He stared at the old man on the ground. The old man was old and haggard, sleeping peacefully.
"Be careful. Don't wake him up," a melodious voice sounded from behind him. A pleasant voice rang out from the side. A woman with a zither in her arms spoke to Jian Chen.
Jianchen stared at the old man's face. The light in his eyes flickered with uncertainty. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I want to wake him up and ask him a few things."
"No. Once he wakes up, he'll stir up the mysteries of the world and the seal in his head will be activated. He'll suffer great pain," Jianchen's suggestion was immediately rejected by the two women.
"What's your relationship with Changyang Zu Yunkong?" Suddenly, a soul-stirring voice rang out. The Heavenly Enchantress strode in with her Zither of the Demonic Cry in a violet dress. Her voice was extremely calm, without any emotion at all.
After a moment of thought, Jianchen said, "Senior, my real name is not Jianchen. It's Changyang Shōten. I was born in Changyang Prefecture, a small kingdom. The ancestor who founded our clan was a Heaven Saint Master, and he just happened to be missing for a very long time. I only suspect that the old man called Changyang Zu Yunkong is the ancestor of our Changyang Prefecture. I hope senior can wake him up so that I can ask him about his identity."
The Heavenly Enchantress hesitated before saying, "Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, play the Soothing Melody."
"Yes, master!" Without any hesitation, the two women immediately walked to one side and sat down in the air. They placed the zither on their legs and gently plucked it. A beautiful melody immediately rang out.
The melody was gentle and filled with a sense of serenity. It seemed to be able to soothe a person's emotions and make them calm down. When the melody reached Jianchen's ears, Jianchen quickly calmed down from his excitement and anxiousness. His heart became peaceful.
The Heavenly Enchantress gently stroked the strings of her zither. She plucked it gently and with a single note, the slumbering old man immediately woke up.
