Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1282 - 26: Tian Cheng

Isn’t this an exposure of a kind of side ability?

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean that everyone’s secrets are constantly exposed to Zhou Yan?

This is clearly unfavorable for the future team.

As Zhou Yan walked in contemplation, the crowd parted, creating a wide path, and then a woman led a man and a woman over.

The three people formed a triangular formation.

The leading woman was stunningly beautiful, the most alluring woman Zhou Yan had ever seen on the Ancestor Dragon Emperor Star.

But the woman exuded a mature, full yet cold and icy aura, vaguely fiery like flames, very contradictory.

Her body was clad in a light-yellow combat armor, resembling a gauzy skirt, yet simple and practical for battle.

The other woman beside her wore a light blue fitted robe that highlighted her enchanting figure, ********, very perfect.

This woman had a hint of charm on her face, with a distinctive body fragrance, appearing somewhat seductive.

Yet Zhou Yan’s sharp eyes could discern that both women were in a flawless state.

Thus, when the two women displayed coldness, heat, charm, fullness, and even temptation, Zhou Yan understood that this was precisely how this world protected itself, through disguise.

Perhaps, only by acting wanton and picky can one truly preserve their purity.

After all, under the current rules, discerning the purity of a soul body is almost impossible; under complete rule constraints, many things that were once easy have become extremely difficult.

The last young man was also very handsome, with a faint smile, exuding extreme confidence and arrogance, but his open demeanor naturally generated goodwill.

This aura was somewhat similar to the Returning True Clan, yet somewhat different.

Nowadays, the Returning True Clan and others have no conflicts with the Human Clan; racial affiliations have been scattered entirely, so there are no racial distinctions, and all Heavenly Hearts belong within the broad scope of the Human Clan.

Demon Hearts, however, have various races, but they’re all Demon Hearts, belonging to evil demons and Outer Heaven Demons.

As for the original Sky Demon Race, after the Nine Origin Reincarnation summoning, they too transformed into the Human Clan, cultivating either human or sky demon cultivation techniques which no longer possess divinity or demon nature, all converted into soul power of the Soul Sea and Bitter Sea, undifferentiated.

Thus, race and everything have been faded, no race, no racial grievances exist.

At this moment, the three stopped about eight meters before Zhou Yan.

"Sea of Suffering Realm Eleven Layers? Friend, why are you alone? A lone traveler, or have team friends all unfortunately passed?"

The leading woman pondered for a moment before asking softly.

Her tone wasn’t exactly warm nor cold.

Overall, it wasn’t off-putting.

"Unfortunately, all other team friends have fallen. Luckily, I encountered a powerful lone traveler on the way, so I came without danger; this lone traveler came with a big black bear, quite remarkable."

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, speaking calmly.

"In that case, it seems it’s Liu Haoxin and Xiong Ba, they should be strong under Lei Yan King’s throne once, alas the powerful Lei Yan King Lee Yi has fallen, otherwise perhaps things would be better for us now."

The woman also paused for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Many do not remember this strong Lei Yan King, but our Nine Origin Reincarnation is related to him; he shouldn’t be forgotten but remembered by all Heavenly Hearts and even Demon Hearts."

"So, even though I really dislike this dark-faced chubby man, we still try to avoid him, not clashing."

Zhou Yan was stunned, seeming a bit surprised.

His surprise was because there were people who remembered Lei Yan King, wasn’t it said that memory of Lei Yan King had been erased? Hence, all Heavenly Hearts shouldn’t remember this person.

Precisely, Zhou Yan was surprised.

But to others, Zhou Yan appeared surprised by such remarks.

"Friend, don’t be surprised, this is Liu Haoxin’s statement, spreading everywhere, saying Heavenly Hearts shouldn’t forget their ancestors, cannot forget the lord who created Nine Origin Reincarnation, urging us to be reverent... though he’s right, didn’t remember this before, but after his words, Lei Yan King Lee Yi indeed became an Eternal Emperor in everyone’s heart. Reverence in heart."

"So, encountering someone as strong as you, who is at the Eleventh Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, we thought it necessary to inform you. Now, do you wish to join us, or do you plan to travel alone?"

The young man smiled slightly and explained to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was enlightened and said, "I am Zhou Yan, at the Eleventh Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, skilled in Artifact Refining and Array Refining. In the future, I hope you all will look after me."

Zhou Yan cupped his hands slightly and spoke to everyone.

Seeing Zhou Yan’s Eleventh Layer Sea of Suffering Realm strength and gentle demeanor, everyone immediately became more cheerful and returned the courtesy with cupped hands.

"Hmm, welcome Fellow Daoist Zhou Yan to join our ’Tian Cheng’ team. Our Tian Cheng team’s combat power may not be the best, but everyone is united and can rely on each other in battle. This time, we’re banding together in hopes that everyone can truly work together with a common goal.

Additionally, we will strive to help those at the Eleventh Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm Heavenly Heart to advance to the Twelfth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, and then help other companions at the Ninth and Tenth Layers of the Sea of Suffering Realm Heavenly Heart to improve. We advance and retreat together.

Therefore, if Fellow Daoist Zhou Yan cannot adapt to these rules, you may leave. But once you join, please do not harbor thoughts of betraying companions or coveting others’ treasures or weapons."

The leading female was initially polite, but as she spoke, her tone became stern and her voice turned icy.

There was even a formidable force of ice and fire, as if it was about to seep in and crush Zhou Yan.

This power was enough to rival the pressure of a Thirteenth Layer Sea of Suffering Realm expert.

Zhou Yan was a bit startled, knowing well the difficulty of crossing realms; it was a bloodline transformation process with the ability to unlock the Emperor Pattern. This ability is highly impressive and closely related to talent.

This indicated that this woman’s talent was extremely remarkable and extraordinary.

It was very likely that this woman was one of the Summoned, and even if she was not, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance she nearly was!

Zhou Yan was shocked inwardly, but his gaze inexplicably lingered on the woman’s body for a moment.

This gaze of Zhou Yan’s seemed somewhat... disrespectful, and to others, it appeared as though he was captivated by the woman’s body or was being suppressed by her power, giving off an impression of Brother Pig.

Everyone gave a good-natured laugh. After all, Zhou Yan was not the only one who found their leader charming, though their leader’s fierce reputation was quite formidable, where would a normal Heavenly Heart dare?

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Zhou Yan, what are you looking at?"

The female leader snorted coldly, her tone carrying a unique Charming Power, as if it could instantly entice someone to reveal their innermost secrets.

Zhou Yan actually already noticed the changes in the other’s bloodline, and while confirming his conjecture, he was a bit shocked by the woman’s talent.

But how could the woman’s ability intimidate him? However, since Zhou Yan didn’t want to show any special reaction, and knowing he might seem like Brother Pig, he simply responded, "Just admiring the round fullness... uh, nothing."

Zhou Yan gave a sheepish smile and then deliberately snapped back to clarity.

Although he quickly regained composure and was quite restrained, surprisingly, the woman wasn’t angered; instead, a trace of astonishment flickered across her face. Clearly, she hadn’t expected Zhou Yan to react so promptly under such tempting power.

As for Zhou Yan’s remarks, the leading female took no offense. In this harsh environment, many male Heavenly Hearts had uttered extremely vile and disgusting words, and those individuals met miserable ends. Compared to that, Zhou Yan’s comments about full, round jade peaks were actually in line with most men’s thoughts. Moreover, having used these methods many times, the leading female was evidently immune to such sentiments and thus didn’t mind.

"Alright, since you have this mind, if you become strong enough, there might be a chance. I, Hua Ru Xi, though a female cultivator, would only choose an ultimate strongman as a Daoist couple. Keep it up!"

The female leader Hua Ru Xi said indifferently.

Her tone was slightly warmer, but she still showed no better face to Zhou Yan, clearly just a perfunctory remark. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Moreover, a Heavenly Heart with a slight flaw is easier to control because a Heavenly Heart with a bit of lust is actually a more human and emotional Heavenly Heart.

With Zhou Yan’s scholarly appearance paired with a gentle demeanor, it was obvious he was a reliable person, so Hua Ru Xi immediately included Zhou Yan into the team.

At that moment, facing Hua Ru Xi’s statement, many team members smiled at Zhou Yan, with some Heavenly Hearts giving a thumbs-up, while others, including young female Heavenly Hearts, looked at Zhou Yan with smiles and encouragement.

After Hua Ru Xi spoke, another voluptuous woman beside her laughed and said, "I am Yan Ruxin, which has a name structure similar to the leader’s and is easy to remember. Fellow Daoist Zhou Yan, be sure to remember my name."

As she spoke, she threw a seductive wink at Zhou Yan, seemingly with the intention of enticing him.

Zhou Yan appeared completely enchanted, nodding immediately, saying, "Yes, yes, I’ll definitely remember for a lifetime."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, everyone laughed.

In everyone’s eyes, Zhou Yan was a very friendly and a bit ’slow’ person, completely devoid of any scheming or ruthlessness.
