Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

The contingent from Yunhuang Hall also landed in front of the crowd.

There were ten of them in total, most of whom were in the Spiritual Spring Realm. Aside from Mengg Yiren, whose strength was unfathomable, there were two at the Spiritual Spring Third Layer and four at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer.

"So it’s Fairy Mengg!"

Watching the beauty descend from the sky, the tones of the other groups became markedly more peaceful.

"I heard that ruins have emerged at the Sixth Pass. I was rather curious, so I came to have a look. I wonder if you gentlemen have discovered anything of note?"

Mengg Yiren stood before them and asked softly.

Yuh Yuzhen smiled. "We just arrived as well and haven’t had a chance to investigate. Now that Yunhuang Hall is here, why don’t we join forces and explore it together?"

"Of course, I would be happy to. The rumors say there are ruins in this forest containing treasures, most of which are ownerless and up for grabs depending on one’s fortune. However, the ruins are also fraught with peril. I fear it would be extremely dangerous to act alone."

Mengg Yiren also nodded gently.

Then, she suddenly turned, her clear, bright eyes looking toward Ye Wushuang’s group.

"Pardon me, are our friends over there from the Ancient Spirit Sect and Yunlan Ancient Teachings?"

Mengg Yiren’s light voice carried over.

At once, Yuh Yuzhen, Ao Wuchang, Beize Sheng, Tu Qianqian, and the others all looked over as well.

Seeing them look over, Ye Wushuang and Feng Yang exchanged a smile and strode forward.

The closer he drew to Mengg Yiren, the more intoxicating her peculiar fragrance became, leaving even Ye Wushuang stunned.

’The Celestial Fragrance Divine Consort Body is truly something else!’

Though stunned, Ye Wushuang also reminded himself to be wary. ’This woman is far from simple. I can’t let my guard down.’

Of course, he still had a question in his mind.

’The Mengg Yiren before him, with her Celestial Fragrance Divine Consort Body, is certainly mesmerizing. But to say she could drive the lord of an entire Realm mad enough to slaughter hundreds of millions... it doesn’t quite add up.’

However, the Dragon Cat quickly offered an explanation, saying, "This girl’s Celestial Fragrance Divine Consort Body, just like that Saber Demon Body from before, hasn’t awakened yet."

"Fairy Mengg!"

Feng Yang walked over and cupped his fist in salute.

"Ah, it’s Young Master Feng Yang, one of the Four Prodigies."

Mengg Yiren returned the salute, then turned to the group from the Ancient Spirit Sect.

Her gaze fell upon Ye Wushuang, sizing him up for a moment before shifting to Dii Qingxue beside him.

Among the Ancient Spirit Sect disciples, Dii Qingxue was the most outstanding, both in terms of appearance and Cultivation.

Mengg Yiren’s gaze lingered mostly on Dii Qingxue.

As one of the "Three Beauties," Mengg Yiren was already considered among the top female disciples.

Dii Qingxue was also one of the "Three Beauties," and in no way her inferior.

Stemming from the subtle rivalry that exists between beautiful women, her gaze held a hint of comparison as she sized up Dii Qingxue.

Just then, Ye Wushuang smiled faintly and stepped forward.

Only then did Mengg Yiren’s gaze shift.

She noticed something strange: Ye Wushuang, who was only at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer, stepped forward, while Dii Qingxue remained motionless.

This subtle pecking order made it difficult for Mengg Yiren to gauge the Ancient Spirit Sect’s true strength.

"Ye Wushuang!"

The moment Ye Wushuang stepped out, several murderous gazes, exceptionally cold, fell upon him.

The gazes of Yuh Yuzhen, Ao Wuchang, and the others had been locked on Ye Wushuang from the moment he appeared.

As for Beize Sheng, his expression remained unchanged. Tu Qianqian, on the other hand, let a look of intense greed spread across his face after sizing up Ye Wushuang from head to toe.

"Did you need something, Fairy Mengg?"

Ye Wushuang asked with a faint smile, stepping forward with a cupped-fist salute.

"Ah, so you’re Young Master Ye!" Mengg Yiren’s hearing was sharp, and she had naturally caught the whispers from behind. She smiled. "I’ve often heard tales of the White-Clothed Killing God, a murderous fiend. But seeing you in person today, I know those are just baseless rumors!"

"You’re absolutely right, Fairy Mengg. I generally don’t make a move. Even when I do, it’s merely a ’small punishment.’ Yet, I’m still slandered by these rumors."

As Ye Wushuang spoke, he gave a faint smile and swept his gaze over Yuh Yuzhen and the others.

Hearing this, the corners of Yuh Yuzhen’s and the others’ mouths twitched.

"I see!" A glint flashed in Mengg Yiren’s eyes. "Now that we’ve all found the location of the ruins, I wonder if the Ancient Spirit Sect would be willing to explore them with us?"

Ye Wushuang replied, "We’d be delighted."

Seeing Ye Wushuang step forward, Yuh Yuzhen sneered, "How cunning of the Ancient Spirit Sect. You send some random person out to handle things while hiding your true strength on the sidelines. It’s hard to tell whether you want to explore together or plan to take the ruins for yourselves."

"Oh?" Ye Wushuang stared at Yuh Yuzhen. "Is the mighty Feather Race actually afraid of a ’random’ person like me?"

"Afraid of you? What makes you think you’re worthy of my fear?"

Yuh Yuzhen’s face darkened as he sneered, "Even your own captain hasn’t said a word. What right does a mere team member like you have to speak to me? Don’t you know your place?"

"That’s right. A mere Spiritual Spring Second Layer cultivator overstepping his bounds and acting like the captain. Doesn’t he know his place?"

A Disciple from the Celestial Sword Sect, who was at the Spiritual Spring Third Layer, also took the opportunity to jeer. ’So what if he’s the White-Clothed Killing God? He’s still only at the Spiritual Spring Second Layer.’

"Get lost and stop embarrassing yourself!"

The others, having finally found an opportunity, ruthlessly mocked Ye Wushuang, trying to put him in an awkward position.

"Let your captain come forward and speak." The crowd glanced at Ye Wushuang with disdain before turning their gazes to Dii Qingxue.

Meng Fanx and the others were slightly taken aback. ’Ye Wushuang is our acknowledged captain. How is he not qualified to stand at the front?’

Meng Fanx felt it was necessary to clarify the situation.

He took a step forward, cupped his fist, and said, "Excuse me, everyone, but Ye Wushuang *is* our captain!"

"Impossible! A mere Spiritual Spring Second Layer cultivator as captain? What a joke." The Disciple from the Celestial Sword Sect, the one at the Spiritual Spring Third Layer, sneered in disbelief.

"With a dog’s-eye view of the world, of course you’d find it impossible." Seeing them mock Ye Wushuang repeatedly, Chengg Tao’s anger flared, and he retorted with a sneer.

’Ye Wushuang is our acknowledged captain. If not for following him, our strength wouldn’t have increased so much. To dare humiliate him is unforgivable!’

"What did you say?!" Yuh Yuzhen and the others’ faces turned livid, and their eyes grew cold in an instant. Chengg Tao had dared to call them dogs!

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Don’t lower yourselves to the level of those with a dog’s-eye view of people. If you corner a dog, it’ll leap over the wall." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

CRUNCH!

The moment he finished speaking, the expressions on Yuh Yuzhen and the others grew even fouler, their fists cracking from the force of their grip, yet they had no way to retort.

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, Yangg Qing’er, Yuann Qingmeng, and the other girls pressed their lips together to suppress their laughter.

Even Feng Yang shook his head. ’They tried to humiliate him, only to be slapped in the face themselves!’

Meanwhile, Mengg Yiren was quite surprised, and she studied Ye Wushuang with curiosity. She had always assumed Dii Qingxue was the captain; she never expected reality to play such a joke on her.

’The real captain wasn’t Dii Qingxue, but Ye Wushuang.’

’What was it about Ye Wushuang that made even Dii Qingxue willing to take a step back for him?’

After a long moment, Shii Kang, the Spiritual Spring Third Layer Disciple from the Celestial Sword Sect, suppressed his anger and shouted, his face dark, "Ye Wushuang, since you’re the captain of the Ancient Spirit Sect, your strength must be impressive. Do you dare accept a challenge from me, Shii Kang?!"

"Challenge me?"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Shii Kang.
