Chapter 1556: Chapter 688: Your Helper? (Part 2)

"You... you are?" Miao Wan’er heard this and her expression instantly grew even more tense.

She couldn’t be sure of this peerlessly beautiful woman’s Cultivation Realm, but she could clearly feel an immense sense of oppression from this woman—an oppression she hadn’t even felt from Lin Xuankong... And besides, even if Miao Wan’er only used her toes to think, she could understand that since this woman could be invited by a Six Paths Celestial Court Disciple like Golden Ridge to come help, her strength was definitely terrifying. At the very least, in Golden Ridge’s eyes, she should be able to defeat Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable!

"Under the Six Paths Celestial Court, Celestial King Mo Liqing. All right, can I go into the courtyard now and meet that Profound Void Demon?"

North Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing clearly had little interest in chatting much with this "gatekeeper" Miao Wan’er in front of her.

Celestial King Mo Liqing... Miao Wan’er knitted her brows tightly. Although she didn’t understand what the name Mo Liqing signified, she could imagine that in a so‑called Star River First Sect like the Six Paths Celestial Court, an Immortal Venerable who was titled Celestial King was absolutely not someone an ordinary Six Paths Celestial Court Disciple could compare with!

It was just that right now she bore the responsibility of guarding the courtyard gate, so how could she casually let someone in to disturb Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable and Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye!

Gritting her teeth, Miao Wan’er forcibly suppressed the fear brought on by that intense oppressive feeling and was just about to say something when Lin Xuankong’s voice came from inside the courtyard:

"According to what the president of the Blood Sea Association said, among the countless so‑called Immortal Venerables of the Six Paths Celestial Court, aside from that Six Paths True Immortal Emperor whose strength is the greatest and status highest, it is the four Celestial Kings, who rule the Four Major Star Realms and Four Celestial Palaces, who come next!

I don’t know which Celestial Palace’s Celestial King you are, this helper Golden Ridge invited, nor for what purpose you’ve come here. Could it be Golden Ridge didn’t tell you that I once said: no matter who they are, all Six Paths Celestial Court Disciples are forbidden to come near this Blue Origin Star for three years!"

Miao Wan’er heard Lin Xuankong’s voice and couldn’t help letting out a heavy breath of relief, taking three steps in two strides as she entered the courtyard, quickly heading toward Lin Xuankong and the others who had just walked out of the guest hall, saying as she went, "This disciple is incompetent. Only just now did I realize that someone from the Six Paths Celestial Court had drawn near, and ended up disturbing the Immortal Venerables and Master!"

Li Changming, at Lin Xuankong’s side, looked with interest toward North Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing at the little courtyard gate, then shook his head slightly. "This woman’s strength is extremely great. It’s normal that you didn’t notice in advance. With her level of strength, not to mention you—even if I or Immortal Venerable Ding Ye had been guarding the gate just now, we likewise wouldn’t have been able to detect this woman’s movements beforehand!"

Miao Wan’er, seeing that her own master and Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable and the others were not blaming her, finally relaxed her expression.

Standing at the little courtyard gate, North Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing, with Golden Ridge behind her, strode into the small courtyard as if no one else were present. Looking toward Lin Xuankong, the corners of her lips lifted as she spoke:

"You are that Profound Void Demon whom the common people of this planet all worship, aren’t you!

I am Six Paths Celestial Court’s Celestial King Mo Liqing of the Northern Celestial Star Realm. Naturally I’ve come to talk with you about Jin Ming and Jin You. My Six Paths Celestial Court Disciples are not people others can casually slaughter!

As for what you said—that all Six Paths Celestial Court Disciples are forbidden to step into the Star Domain near this Blue Origin Star within three years—isn’t that a bit too overbearing!"

As she spoke up to this point, the expression on North Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing’s delicate face relaxed, but around her body, intense waves of True Qi suddenly erupted!

As those intangible yet substantial waves of True Qi spread outward, with her as the center, the ground within ten thousand meters suddenly trembled once, and even in the sky above her position, five‑colored clouds suddenly formed one after another, then spread outward in all directions!

This North Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing was clearly displaying her strength to this "demon" Lin Xuankong, unleashing the mighty pressure of someone at Transcendence Eleventh Layer Perfection Realm, causing the nearby earth and sky to erupt with a multitude of strange phenomena!

Of everyone present,

aside from Lin Xuankong and Li Changming,

whether it was Ding Ye, Blood Cloud Sect Leader Liang Di, or Golden Ridge and Miao Wan’er, all of their expressions changed drastically at this moment.

Not only had they never seen such a terrifying cultivator before,

they had also never imagined that this Six Paths Celestial Court North Celestial Palace Celestial King Mo Liqing before them, by merely slightly releasing a bit of True Qi fluctuation, merely releasing a portion of her pressure as a powerhouse—without even casting a single Immortal Technique yet—could already cause such enormous phenomena, making such a vast stretch of land violently tremble once, and even causing the sky itself to shift in wind and cloud!

Meanwhile, over at the main house of the Miao Family Mansion, those countless guests, countless nobles and wealthy tycoons had long since fallen into chaos one by one!

As mortals, when had they ever personally witnessed such shocking phenomena—earth trembling, multicolored clouds filling the sky... Whether it was those high officials and noble lords from the Capital City or the envoys and retinue members from other countries, all of their faces changed drastically as they rose to their feet, gazing up at the sky. Some with slightly weaker nerves even couldn’t help crying out in alarm!

Only Miao Yun Lake, the newly appointed Minister of the Inspection Department, remained composed. After all, he had spent time with Lin Xuankong, this Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable; he had also been around Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye; had even been captured by an Immortal Venerable from the Blood Sea Association’s Night Wolf Sect; and moreover, his own biological daughter was herself an Immortal Venerable. So faced with this kind of natural heavenly phenomenon, he instead was the first to calm down.

He quickly strode to the center of the courtyard, took in the nobles and grandees around him who had fallen into panic, and barked out, "Honored guests, do not panic! You all should know that our Qingyuan City has, at present, gathered many Immortal Venerables. Each of those Immortal Venerables has astonishing strength and wondrous Immortal Techniques. Phenomena like this sudden tremor of the earth and multicolored clouds spreading through the sky must simply be some Immortal Venerable casting Magic!

Most importantly, our Great Yan Kingdom’s Qingyuan City is the former residence of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable and Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye, and also Elder Immortal Venerable Sima’s place of dwelling. So no matter which sect an Immortal Venerable comes from, they absolutely won’t act recklessly here in our Great Yan Kingdom’s Qingyuan City!

Please, everyone, rest assured and keep eating. We’ll keep playing our music, and keep drinking our wine!"

The surrounding nobles and grandees who had already fallen into panic, seeing the master of the Miao Family, this newly appointed Minister of the Inspection Department, so calm, also gradually settled down.

Among them, a local Qingyuan City official with a quick mind even forced himself to muster his courage and speak up:

"Yes, yes, yes, honored lords, you truly need not be nervous. This is Great Yan Kingdom’s Qingyuan City, the former residence of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, and also the hometown of Minister Miao’s daughter, Immortal Venerable Miao! In a place where Immortal Venerables emerge in such numbers, what do you have to worry about!

If you ask me, these shocking phenomena just now might very well have been cast by some Immortal Venerable from another Immortal Sect specifically to celebrate Minister Miao’s promotion, a specially displayed Immortal Technique! After all, Immortal Venerable Miao is a favorite at Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’s side!"

Hearing this fellow say such things, the expressions on the faces of the many nobles and grandees present all became lively, and some of the more sharp‑witted among them also chimed in one after another,

"Exactly, exactly, that’s very likely! This may well be a phenomenon wrought by some powerful Immortal Venerable. Those five‑colored auspicious clouds have always been omens of good fortune in ancient times, haven’t they! Doesn’t this precisely show that thanks to Minister Miao’s promotion, our Great Yan Kingdom is destined to enjoy peace across the four seas, with the common people living and working in contentment!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. If you ask me, we who have personally witnessed these five‑colored auspicious clouds and here have partaken of Minister Miao and Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’s good fortune will all someday be free of illness and live long lives, Changming‑longevity and a hundred years, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, we people here today, to be able to witness such astonishing five‑colored auspicious clouds as auspicious signs, truly have benefited from Minister Miao and Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’s fortune. Next we must all properly toast Minister Miao, and properly celebrate Minister Miao’s promotion!"
