Li Yunmu didn’t reply. He simply looked at the slight frown on Yan Wanqiu’s plump face and the pout on her cherry-red lips, which brought out a young girl’s charm. According to what she said, Jue Qingzi had an indecisive nature and was often tricked by others. If they had to choose a sect leader between Yan Wanqiu and Jue Qingzi, then Yan Wanqiu would definitely be the first choice.

Although she had some flaws, like timidness and fear of death, in terms of taking decisions, she was much better.

“Don’t worry, I promised you to help Jue Qingzi obtain godhood this time. Regardless of how strong Young Master Leng is, it is useless,” Li Yunmu said in consolation.

Yan Wanqiu nooded, feeling relaxed in her heart. Whether for good or bad, a golden immortal level expert was by her side, so regardless of how formidable Young Master Leng’s position in the Alliance was, it would be useless.

Within the night pearl small world, the most formidable existence was a true immortal. The Origin World’s seal was still present, since it had only small flaws. They allowed true immortal or lower level existences to enter, but if a golden immortal powerhouse tried to enter, they would be erased by the laws of the Origin World.

Then wasn’t a golden immortal level powerhouse like Li Yunmu a peak existence in the night pearl small world? All the godhoods placed by the Alliance in this world should enter his pocket.

A hint of sharpness flashed through Yan Wanqiu’s eyes.

The red-crowned cranes descended near the flame. Once they were down, a few ear-piercing sounds echoed in their ears.

“I hadn’t thought that the Profound Sword Pavilion with such a grand face would still need us to wait at the door of god ruins.”

“Even Young Master Leng had to wait! Isn’t this giving them a lot of face?”

“You all have very sharp mouths. Brother Jue Qingzi is a good friend of Young Master Leng and came to the god ruins to assist us. A late stage tribulation passing expert isn’t someone you can compare to.”

Li Yunmu took in the tone of the speaker and glanced above, from where the voice had come. In the air halfway up the mountain, a young man wearing a white gown was standing with his hands clasped behind his back and a calm expression on his face.

The person who spoke had a crooked back. His head and neck were raised up, while his pupils could be seen swiveling through the narrow slits that were his eyes. A slight smile was on his face.

Two women were standing behind the eccentric person’s side. They had tall figures and were wearing side slit skirts, revealing their long and slender legs. Both of them were holding identical little bells in their hands.

Yan Wanqiu approached Li Yunmu and softly said in his ear, “That man with the crooked back is the top disciple of Heavenly Poison Sect. His name is Yang Kong, and his body is extremely poisonous. He’s one of the henchmen of Young Master Leng.

The other two are vixens from Bell Music School, a subordinate force of Leng Family. Many of their descendants have become the maids of Leng Family.

“These two vixens are top talents in Bell Music School, and they have become the maidservants of Leng Family’s young master by relying on their charm.

Just as she finished speaking, a smile appeared on the face of Young Master Leng when he looked Yan Wanqiu. “Is this the young princess of Profound Sword Pavilion? When did you run to this night pearl small world to gain experience?”

“Hmph!”

Yan Wanqiu glanced at him, then rolled her eyes to show disdain toward those standing above.

Leng Yan looked at Yan Wanqiu with a calm expression but he was extremely excited in his heart. When Jue Qingzi wanted to bring Yan Wanqiu and the twins into the night pearl small world, the man had come to find him. Leng Yan had naturally agreed so as to see Yan Wanqiu, but he also knew about Jue Qingzi’s temperament.

A casual sentence from him was sufficient to turn Jue Qingzi into his lackey, which would always open the way for him. Although Profound Sword Pavilion was at the lowest level in the Alliance, it was only because it had very few people.

The disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion walked the path of sword immortals, so their offense was extremely strong, and if any ordinary cultivator encountered them, they would be killed instantly.

But although Jue Qingzi was formidable, the sword immortals had a weakness, which wass that they weren’t able to sustain a battle for long. During the few years Leng Yan was in the god ruins, he had used Jue Qingzi to open the path in the front before making his retreat. Right then, he also needed Jue Qingzi to obtain another godhood.

“Brother Jue Qingzi, I have been waiting here for long, but you have finally arrived. Junior Sister Yan Wanqiu also came, so it would be better if she followed behind me and took a careful look at how tribulation passing experts fight. This would be extremely beneficial for her when she entered the tribulation passing stage.”

Leng Yan’s gaze was fixed on Yan Wanqiu while he spoke. HE completely ignored Li Yunmu and the twins who hadn’t said anything until then.

“This one is Leng Yan, the young master of Leng Family. They are one of the peak level powers in the Alliance. He is also an expert among the young generation, possessing peak tribulation passing stage level strength,” Yan Wanqiu said into Li Yunmu’s ear.

The two of them were standing close to each other due to it, which made it seem like they were exchanging sweet words.

When Leng Yan saw it, his expression became somewhat gloomy, as if he didn’t like it. In his eyes, Yan Wanqiu was someone who belonged to him. The reason why he had allowed her and the twins to enter was precisely to use a godhood from god ruins as an engagement token with Yan Wanqiu.

Leng Yan looked at Li Yunmu with interest and said with a faint smile like before, “This brother looks unfamiliar. I wonder, what is he called? Who is your master!”

His words caused the gazes of the two maidservants and Yang Kong to fall on the extra person. Li Yunmu carefreely nodded his head and raised his hand to point toward his mouth.

Yan Wanqiu, who was next to him, revealed a faint smile and said, “This is a young disciple of Profound Sword Pavilion. He is the same as the twin junior apprentice brothers and cultivates a mysterious technique which doesn’t allow him to speak.”

The two maidservants looked at Li Yunmu with interest. One of them unintentionally shook the little bell in her hand and slightly moved her cinnabar lips.

“This young brother is rather interesting. This lowly servant is very happy to see you.”

Yan Wanqiu rolled her eyes and mumbled, “Vixen.”

Jue Qingzi, who was originally sitting on the red crowned crane, seemed to have come alive. He stretched his body, raised his head to look at Leng Yan’s group, and said suspiciously, “Eh, when did we reach here!”

After saying that, Jue Qingzi turned to look at Li Yunmu and was about to speak, but Yan Wanqiu grabbed his hand and reminded him, “This is junior apprentice brother, right?”

Jue Qingzi heard the agitation in his junior apprentice sister’s tone and understood her meaning. His gaze turned to Leng Yan and changed the topic.

“Right, right, right, junior apprentice brother. Oh right, Brother Leng Yan, since everyone has gathered, we should open the god ruins.”

“Then let’s enter, what do you all say?”

Leng Yan nodded.

After he said that, Li Yunmu saw two groups of people not far away. One of them was wearing white clothes while holding umbrellas in their hands. The second group was covered in black mist, which hid their appearance.

Li Yunmu could sense that the leader of the white-gowned people possessed the strength of peak stage tribulation passing, while another peak stage tribulation passing presence was concealed in the black mist. It seemed like the true experts of both groups were at the same level as Leng Yan.

A fragment appeared in Leng Yan’s hand and floated in the air. It was met with two fragments who flew out from the group of white-gowned people and the black mist and combined together to form an ancient key in the air.

The ancient key flew through the empty space forward until it disappeared completely. Then, a powerful golden light appeared in the sky out of nowhere, and spread in all directions, forming a large gate floating above the ground.

Once the large gate appeared, Li Yunmu heard the system’s surprised voice in his brain.

[This is... This is... Ru Shou.]
