Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 591 - 433: Never Return Until Phoenix Creek is Unbroken_2
Shang Yaoqin, clad in a flowing blue-green robe, cut a tall and slender figure, holding a white jade flute in her hand. Her fingers were pale and shapely, enhancing her stunning beauty.
Beyond her striking physical appearance, Hong Yuan was more concerned with Shang Yaoqin's strength.
She's a great beauty, on par with Menghuang, and her Martial Arts foundation is also very solid, Hong Yuan silently nodded in approval. But still, she falls a little short compared to Menghuang; she needs to keep pushing herself...
Within a fleeting moment, Shang Yaoqin left such an impression on Hong Yuan. It gradually aligned with the character profile he had previously constructed of her.
On the other side, led by Ye Zhuyin, Shang Yaoqin approached Hong Yuan with gentle steps.
"Yuan, this is my sister, Shang Yaoqin."
"Yaoqin, this is my good friend, Hong Yuan, Hong."
...
Ye Zhuyin introduced Hong Yuan to Shang Yaoqin, her smile never fading.
"Sister Yaoqin, hello."
"Senior Hong Yuan, I've heard so much about you."
In their first meeting, Hong Yuan and Shang Yaoqin didn't interact too much.
But Hong Yuan knew he had left a fairly good impression on Shang Yaoqin.
Because Shang Yaoqin didn't seem to mind his company at all!
The beginning of everything is difficult, and for such a result, Hong Yuan was quite satisfied.
The rest could be taken slowly.
RUMBLE—
Under the watchful eye of the Phoenix Creek Great Saint, the Bronze Ancient War Chariot slowly turned around and headed in the direction of the Phoenix Creek Sect.
On the way back to the Phoenix Creek Sect, Ye Zhuyin was completely on guard, fearing an assassination attempt.
A person's reputation casts a long shadow.
Perhaps it was because Hong Yuan was present that nothing untoward happened on their journey. The trio returned safely to the Phoenix Creek Sect.
This was beyond Ye Zhuyin's expectations!
「Half a month later.」
The skies were dark and rainy, casting a gloomy shade over the entire Phoenix Creek Sect region.
Raindrops pattered down from the sky, striking Rainbow Fire Peak and creating crisp sounds. In the mountain stream, the impact of the rain sent endless ripples across the water, layer upon layer.
Under the water, a colorful array of fish, shrimp, crabs, and other Water Beasts used the momentum of the rain to swallow Essence Qi, transitioning from beast to monster.
In a dimly lit room of the Peak Master Great Hall on Rainbow Fire Peak, a window stood open.
Hong Yuan stood before the window, quietly listening to the sound of rain hitting the bluestone, his gaze fixed on the White Jade Palace, situated below and to his left.
There resided Shang Yaoqin with Ye Zhuyin.
It's been half a month already, and I still haven't been able to grasp the Dream Tao Mystery within Shang Yaoqin, he sighed softly to himself. As expected, this path isn't as simple as it seemed...
During this half month, Hong Yuan's relationship with Shang Yaoqin had suffered a severe setback, turning his efforts to seize the Dream Tao Mystery she carried into nothing but empty talk.
Because Shang Yaoqin's attention was wholly focused on Ye Zhuyin; she believed she didn't need Hong Yuan's help and could still become immensely strong on her own!
Did I shoot myself in the foot with this? But I can't just grant Shang Yaoqin's wish and truly become Dao partners with Ye Zhuyin, can I?!
Hong Yuan shook his head gently, his expression somewhat helpless.
No matter how he thought about it, he never anticipated that Shang Yaoqin would be more enthusiastic about matchmaking him with Ye Zhuyin than seeking his help with her cultivation!
With Shang Yaoqin's distracted mindset, the Dream Tao Mystery within her remained elusive, making it difficult for Hong Yuan to perceive.
Facing such a predicament, Hong Yuan felt troubled.
Consequently, he had recently been trying to find a way to observe Shang Yaoqin's cultivation, ideally by sparring with her.
Sigh, at least I have Menghuang as another option. I didn't put all my eggs in one basket, Hong Yuan tried to find solace as he took one last, long look at the White Jade Palace below before slowly closing the window.
Don't rush, don't rush.
He, Hong Yuan, was a cultivator of Longevity Martial Arts; he had plenty of time.
If things weren't working out for now, the war among the nine Great Dream Seed holders would eventually give him a chance to fish in troubled waters. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
This is the charm of Longevity Martial Arts!
Jing State was a land where it felt like summer all year round, with perpetually hot weather.
Previously, this was the territory of the Dragon Flame Sect from the Sect Alliance.
But due to a series of upheavals, it had now become the turf of the Hei Family, one of the Golden Families from the Northern Region of the Divine Continent.
The societal structure of the Northern Region of the Divine Continent was based on tribes, divided into Golden Families and large, medium, and small-sized families.
Among them, the Golden Families were descendants with the bloodline of a Great Emperor!
And among the Golden Families, the Hei Family had established their main base in Flame Wind Valley!
That day, the sky above Flame Wind Valley changed abruptly as dark clouds gathered densely.
It turned out that Hei Zhenwu, heir to the Headship of the Hei Family, had gathered numerous descendants of the Golden Families. Here, they would jointly swear an oath to their ancestors to launch an expedition against the Phoenix Creek Sect.
"I, Hei Zhenwu, hereby make this vow."
"Through a hundred battles in desert sands, clad in golden armor I shall fight; I will not return until Phoenix Creek is broken."
"Should I violate this oath, may lightning strike me down, and may I never return to the Northern Region for all eternity!!!"
After he made the vow, in that instant, a formidable power of heaven and earth suddenly descended upon Hei Zhenwu.
Hei Zhenwu was dressed in the distinct attire of the Northern Region. He wore a long-sleeved robe of black and gold, its edges embroidered with black dragon patterns that looked both ferocious and noble.
A white jade belt encircled his waist, and his neatly cropped dark hair stood on end.
His build was extraordinarily imposing and rugged, reminiscent of an Ancient Savage Bull.
Strength was his very essence!
BOOM—
At that moment, Hei Zhenwu's presence surged dramatically.
Like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, or a mountain flood bursting forth, it was vast and unstoppable.
The other members of the Golden Families who witnessed it were all struck with fear and astonishment.
