Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 780 - 647: Beauties of the Immortal Pavilion
Ye Lingyue suddenly felt a sharp pain at her temples, as if something was about to leap out from her brain.
Feng Xun noticed that the person in his arms seemed off and quickly let go of her, nervously inspecting her complexion.
"What’s wrong? Why do you look so terrible? Are you worried about Chen Hongru?"
The demonic voice in her head vanished without a trace, and Ye Lingyue withdrew her thoughts. She did not share the blurry fragments in her mind with Feng Xun.
The two of them huddled together and started discussing the matter of Chen Hongru.
Chen Hongru, because of his involvement in the poisoning case of the Beiqing Emperor, fell from his respected position as the Dan Palace Master of Beiqing to disgrace.
During the time when Empress Qing Shuang was taken away, Chen Hongru seized the chance to flee.
After Chen Hongru’s escape, Princess Qingfeng ordered a thorough investigation of the Dan Palace, and many illegal activities Chen Hongru had engaged in earlier were discovered in his residence, including his own records of the time he spent in Xingxiu Cave, where he sacrificed numerous innocent lives to open Star Cave Number One to overcome the Chaos Heaven and Earth Tribulation.
When this news spread, the entire Dan Palace was shaken, and Dan Palace was temporarily placed under the control of Alchemist Wei.
"Chen Hongru is an extremely dangerous person; five hundred years ago, he even harmed the Grand Ancestor of our Ye Family. He has always resented me for taking away the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array and will not stop at that. Moreover, I’m also quite concerned about Great Elder Chang Luo," Ye Lingyue heard that Great Elder Chang Luo, along with Chen Mu, was also going to participate in the World’s First Refinement.
With the mysterious whereabouts of Chen Hongru, and the dangerous Long Clan, the journey to Sifang City this time might not be simple.
"The enemy is known, and we are in the dark; breaking your head over it won’t help," Feng Xun chuckled lightly.
"Exactly, so I’ve figured it out. I’ll face the battle as they come, it’s better to plan after arriving at Sifang City than worry about these now," Ye Lingyue changed her position, finding Feng Xun’s chest quite resilient. She realized she couldn’t escape from this man’s arms and simply embraced him, using him as a human-shaped pillow.
Feng Xun, afraid that Ye Lingyue would overthink things, kept her entertained with some recent and interesting news from the mainland, as the carriage wheels spun, they moved towards the unknown journey ahead.
As Ye Lingyue and her companions headed to the Four Directions Ferry, another group was headed towards Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.
Leading them was none other than Great Elder Chang Luo.
Ye Lingyue’s earlier guess was not wrong; Great Elder Chang Luo had suffered losses in Emperor City, with his old lover and daughter both ending in tragic circumstances.
Learning that the Underworld Yama Palace’s power was involved, Great Elder Chang Luo hesitated for a while but decided to retreat.
He pressured the Eldest Prince and Second Prince and successfully rescued Chen Tuo and his son, but left Elder Ying behind.
In his eyes, Elder Ying was a trouble, no longer of any value. He had long wanted to silence her, and this was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
After leaving Emperor City, counting the days until the Four Directions Ferry opened, he devised a cunning plan and, traveling day and night in the opposite direction, he arrived at Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.
To others, the existence of the Three Sects was always a secret.
One of the Three Sects, Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, also located on the peak of Ice Mountain, was seldom known by others.
But Great Elder Chang Luo, who had accompanied the Hunyuan Sect Master here before, remembered the location of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.
In the years that followed, to hold secret rendezvous with Elder Ying, Elder Ying even secretly informed Great Elder Chang Luo about the days when the Mountain Protection Array would be activated each month, and they had engaged in furtive liaisons multiple times.
When they reached the edge of the Cloud Sea cliff, Elder Chang Luo left the other disciples behind and took only his favored disciple, Chen Mu, deep into the Cloud Sea.
"Master, this truly is the location of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion; it indeed is a heavenly place in the mortal world," Chen Mu, following Great Elder Chang Luo, controlled a Flying Spirit Artifact, delving deeper into the Cloud Sea.
At this moment, just before and after sunset, the Cloud Sea churned, bathed in a rosy light that filled the sky, reflecting a breathtakingly beautiful scene like a realm beyond this world.
Beyond the Cloud Sea, there was a palace-like pavilion with the frequent flight of red-crowned cranes.
In the mainland, where the Three Sects and Nine Schools are situated, the areas are mostly spiritual mountains and beautiful waters, with abundant Spiritual Power conducive to the disciples’ cultivation.
Earlier, when Chen Mu was in the Hunyuan Sect, he thought the sect’s location was a land of spiritual beauty, but having seen the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, he realized the Nine Schools and Three Sects were not even in the same league.
The Spiritual Energy here was much richer than in the Hunyuan Sect, even the flowers, plants, and trees—every blade of grass and every stone—radiated spiritual essence.
"The land is beautiful, and the people even more so; the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion truly is a paradise for men. It’s a pity, though, that the women here are untouchable. Otherwise, if the Yaochi Pavilion Master learns of it, the disciple would be expelled from the sect, and the adulterer would be eternally pursued by the powers of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion," Great Elder Chang Luo mentioned this with caution; hence, his relationship with Elder Ying over the years had always been conducted in secrecy.
Among the Three Sects, the people of Lonely Moon Sea and Namo Mountain are transcendentalists who rarely wander on the mainland, appearing only when extremely significant events occur.
The Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, however, makes appearances more frequently, but it’s rumored that the Pavilion Master of the Yaochi once suffered from a heartbreak and harbors a deep-seated hatred for men.
Thus, every female disciple who joins the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion is prohibited from marrying or leaving the sect for life, else she would face the brutal retaliation of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.
As they spoke, the two had already entered the range of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion’s Mountain Protection Array.
Upon touching the array, a beam of light that pierced the heavens and earth shot up, blocking the way forward for Great Elder Chang Luo and Chen Mu.
Almost simultaneously, several graceful white figures, like startled swans, swept out from the array.
They were five or six women in white, each one a beauty like a heavenly immortal, standing proudly on their Spiritual Artifacts.
Seeing these female disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, Chen Mu felt somewhat disappointed. Beautiful women of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion?
In his eyes, these cold-faced women, though delicately beautiful, simply couldn’t compare to Ye Lingyue.
The women of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion looked very similar to Xue Pianran and her daughter, both voluptuously beautiful but lacking spiritual aura, typical ice beauties that became boring after a few glances.
One of the women, with a face as vibrant as red plum blossoms on a winter’s day, stood out with her cold demeanor, clearly the highest-ranking among these female disciples.
She glanced at Great Elder Chang Luo and paused a little longer when her eyes landed on Chen Mu.
"How dare you, insolent fools; this is a sacred place of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, intruders will be put to death."
"Esteemed ladies, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I am Chang Luo, the Great Elder of the Hunyuan Sect. Today, I came to inform your Elder Ying that she has been schemed against in Beiqing and is now facing a life or death situation," Chang Luo said, seeing the women, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
He assumed a humble demeanor, took out his Identity Token, and embellished the story of Elder Ying being framed and falling into the hands of the Beiqing Feng Residence—adding fuel to the fire as he recounted it.
