Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 237: Three Ouyang Ruoxues?

"Brother Fengyang, ever so concerned for the world. Such magnanimity is truly admirable."

At this moment, the Saint Master of Space-Time, Qitian Dao, remarked coolly.

His words carried a hint of ridicule, though he didn’t press the matter.

"The world ultimately belongs to the younger generation—the Saint Sons and Saintesses, the Divine Sons and Divine Ladies. Once we enter the Saint Realm, we must abide by the rules. Saints do not interfere. We yield the world to them."

Long Fengyang paid it no mind, responding calmly.

"Celestial Dao Saint Master, must you be so provocative?"

Just then, Duan Jiutian arrived fashionably late from a short distance away. His voice boomed like thunder, spanning the heavens and surging toward them.

He arrived in a flash, like the fabled Purple Qi from the East, a violet beam that shot across the sky.

On the cloud platform, he stood motionless, his gaze locked directly with Qitian Dao’s.

"Heh, excellent. I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Jiutian to have reached such a level. The disciple is impressive, and the master is no slouch either."

Qitian Dao let out a cold laugh.

"The Celestial Dao Saint Master isn’t so bad himself," Long Cangqian retorted arrogantly.

Qitian Dao’s pupils constricted as he locked his gaze onto Long Cangqian. Unafraid, Long Cangqian manifested his Taotie Divine Soul within his eyes, instantly repelling the Space-Time Dao from Qitian Dao’s gaze.

"Hahaha! What a Taotie Divine Son! Impressive. Congratulations, Brother Fengyang, on raising such a fine son!"

Qitian Dao withdrew the Power of the Space-Time Law, a look of shock in his eyes. He immediately dropped his aggressive posture.

Beside Qitian Dao, a vicious glint flashed in the eyes of Wang Zhen and Xu Yaoyang. They glared coldly at Long Cangqian for defying their Saint Master.

"Cangqian Divine Son, your might is truly unparalleled. You are indeed worthy of the ancient Taotie Divine Blood and the Devouring Divine Body. You truly deserve the title of Divine Child and the honor of a Child of Celestial Mandate."

From the Jade Pool Sacred Land’s delegation, Saint Master Yao Yusu stepped forward.

Her bearing was that of a fairy, her spiritual aura transcendent. With a face as beautiful as a painting, she looked as though she had walked straight out of a celestial paradise.

Her voice was melodious, yet she made no effort to hide the admiration in her eyes.

As she spoke, she gave a light wave of her hand, and the sacred light of the Jade Pool manifested. Bathed in this light, a tranquil yet incredibly pure white halo swirled. Within the halo, thirteen Jade Pool Saintesses appeared like unparalleled fairies descending upon the mortal realm. Each one was a genius of stunning beauty, possessing looks that could topple nations.

One after another, their celestial figures glided forward. They took two graceful steps, their beautiful eyes shimmering with divine light, and offered a simple greeting to Long Cangqian.

"Thank you for your praise, Jade Pool Saint Master. If you are free, perhaps we could share a drink and discuss the Supreme Dao."

Long Cangqian’s gaze swept over the thirteen Jade Pool Saintesses before settling on the face of Saint Master Yao Yusu herself. His look was tinged with a predatory light.

"The Divine Child is certainly ambitious, but that is a good thing! Very well. When we have the time, we shall share a drink and discuss the Celestial Dao."

Yao Yusu’s eyes crinkled with a smile, her expression serene.

Her words seemed to be an acceptance, yet they could also be taken as a mere polite reply.

"HAHAHAHAHA—"

Long Cangqian roared with laughter, his arrogance soaring.

The onlookers couldn’t help but sigh with a mix of emotions at the sight.

’The Jade Pool Saintesses are as peerless as fairies. Forget the male cultivators; even some of the female cultivators are utterly captivated!’

’To win the favor of one of them... I’d gladly face the Transformation Dao for that.’

’The Jade Pool Saint Master is letting Long Cangqian pick a Dao companion!’

’Such treatment... I’m green with envy.’

’And to think I’m a peerless genius whose Battle Power has Broken Eight, yet these Jade Pool Fairies have never given me so much as a second glance. That’s the difference right there.’

’Even if I have no chance of finding a Dao companion, coming here today was worth it just to witness such peerless beauty.’

’Still, we have that Ye Tianling to thank for this. I just wonder if he has the ability and the guts to actually show up.’

...

The cultivators around Ye Tianling were still murmuring amongst themselves.

But he paid them no mind, his gaze fixed on a distant point: the delegation from the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land.

His Soul Talent swept over the area. Ye Tianling didn’t find Ouyang Ruoxue, but he did ascertain the identities of the group from the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land.

Just as Ye Tianling focused on the group from the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land, their leader, Saint Master Ouyang Qianyu, also stepped forward. Her entrance was no less grand than that of the Jade Pool Saint Master.

"I’ve heard that the Cangqian Divine Son is fond of my Returning Butterfly Sacred Land’s future First Saintess, Ouyang Ruoxue. I wonder, does the Divine Child still fancy her, or would you perhaps prefer someone... just like her?"

Compared to the tranquil elegance of the Jade Pool Saint Master, Ouyang Qianyu, the Saint Master of Returning Butterfly, was far more direct.

Her words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

As for Ye Tianling, his pupils couldn’t help but contract upon hearing her words.

After emerging from the Array, Ye Tianling had followed the Little Dragon Girl’s advice and temporarily taken on the appearance of Dugu Qiubai.

This wasn’t because Ye Tianling was afraid of trouble. Rather, for safety’s sake, the Little Dragon Girl wanted to first scout the area and familiarize herself with its Forbidden Arrays and other hidden dangers.

That was why Ye Tianling’s disguise had not yet been seen through.

But upon hearing Ouyang Ruoxue’s name, Ye Tianling no longer wanted to remain hidden.

In the time that had passed, and with the massive energy fluctuations that had rocked the area, the Little Dragon Girl had already completed most of her reconnaissance.

Familiarizing themselves with the environment was all in preparation for the coming battle.

Ye Tianling was ready to make his move.

He was waiting for news of Ouyang Ruoxue’s whereabouts, waiting for the most critical moment to reveal himself and crush the prestige of the Cyan Dragon Race.

Ye Tianling watched coldly, utterly disgusted by the demeanor of Ouyang Qianyu, the Saint Master of Returning Butterfly.

"Oh? Does the Saint Master of Returning Butterfly truly mean that? And what if I, Long Cangqian, want them all?"

A crimson light flashed in Long Cangqian’s eyes as his gaze shot out like a sword.

His sharp gaze fell directly upon the three Saintesses standing beside Ouyang Qianyu.

The faces of these three Saintesses had been concealed, but as Long Cangqian’s gaze fell upon them, the spiritual halos covering their faces began to tremble violently.

The snow-white veils over their faces shattered of their own accord, perfectly revealing their stunning, peerless beauty.

The moment their faces were revealed, even Ye Tianling couldn’t help but tremble.

The cultivators near Ye Tianling couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

"Three Ouyang Ruoxues?"

"No, those are Ouyang Ruoxue’s younger sisters: Saintess Ouyang Ruoshuang, Saintess Ouyang Ruobing, and Saintess Ouyang Ruoyun. The four of them are identical sisters. It’s just that Saintess Ouyang Ruoxue suffered a harder life; she was kidnapped as a child by Daoist Que De when he was in the middle of stealing a treasure."

"Later, she somehow ended up at the Celestial Profound Sword Sect and became one of its disciples."

"If her Guardian, Ouyang Qinglian, hadn’t found her, I’m afraid Saintess Ouyang Ruoxue would have simply faded into obscurity."

"So that’s how it is. No wonder Saintess Ouyang Ruoxue harbors such hatred for Daoist Que De and his followers."

"I heard... that Saintess Ouyang Ruoxue was used for Absorption by that Ye Tianling. And she even developed feelings for him during the process?"

"What a shame. I wonder what Saintess Ouyang Ruoxue would think if she knew that Ye Tianling’s Divine Blood has been destroyed."

"Heh, wasn’t that Ye Tianling supposed to challenge the Dragon Race? He’s still a no-show! Not that it matters if he comes. Barely any of the Saint Sons and Saintesses respect a backwater commoner with a mongrel bloodline like his anyway. But knowing how foolishly infatuated Saintess Ouyang Ruoxue is, she’ll probably actually come here looking for him!"

’A beautiful flower wasted on a pile of cow dung.’

’If you ask me, that Ouyang Ruoxue is brain-dead and utterly shameless! She’ll probably be captured by Long Cangqian this time and used for Absorption until she’s drained to death!’

All around Ye Tianling, the cacophony of discussion grew even louder and more chaotic.
