538: News about Li Hanyan

Haotian Immortal Kingdom, the residence of the Fourteenth Prince.

A young man wearing a luxurious brocade robe, handsome and exuding an air of authority, was listening to a report from a guard.

This young man in the luxurious brocade robe was none other than Yang Zhaojue, the Fourteenth Prince of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom.

"Who killed him?" Yang Zhaojue's voice was calm, but his tone carried a cold, murderous intent.

"Reporting to Your Highness, we haven't identified the person yet. According to Bai Qinian's report, he was rescued by a powerful and mysterious individual."

"To be able to rescue someone from Bai Qinian's hands... it seems the strength of this mysterious person is truly extraordinary!" Yang Zhaojue murmured softly.

"Your Highness, should we put out a warrant for his arrest?" the guard asked.

"Are you a pig-brain? The Archaic Star Domain is so vast; do you know how much it costs to put a warrant out for someone? Besides, those other forces might not necessarily give me Face." Yang Zhaojue glared coldly at the guard.

"Your Highness, then what should we do next?" the guard asked.

"Didn't you say that kid was very young? With his talent, I believe it won't be long before he surfaces. It won't be too late to kill him then," Yang Zhaojue said coldly... Yang Lingchen took out a newly purchased map, studied it for a moment, and then sat on Little Flame's back, flying toward the Xuan Yin Palace.

Since he had come to the Desolate Ancient Central Continent, he naturally had to go see Li Hanyan.

After all, Li Hanyan was already the woman he had chosen, and she had nearly perished to save him.

Xuan Yin Palace was considered a major force in the Desolate Ancient Central Continent, but since it only recruited female Disciples, it had gradually declined in recent years.

However, even so, Xuan Yin Palace remained an existence that no one dared to provoke in the Desolate Ancient Central Continent.

The main reason for this was that many female Disciples of Xuan Yin Palace had married into other top-tier forces.

Therefore, even though Xuan Yin Palace had declined, no other force dared to invade it at will.

After half a month of flying, Yang Lingchen finally arrived at Xuan Yin City.

Xuan Yin City, the city where Xuan Yin Palace was located, was considered a first-tier major city in the entire Central Continent.

The walls of Xuan Yin City were built from extraterrestrial meteorites, towering high. From a distance, they looked like a giant dragon coiling there, giving off an invisible sense of pressure.

On both sides of the gates of Xuan Yin City stood rows of City Guards clad in armor.

These City Guards were all composed of beautiful women. Although they wore armor, they exuded an air of heroic and valiant spirit.

"I didn't expect women to look so beautiful in armor. I should get a few sets later for Sister Xuanji and the others to wear. I wonder if it would feel different to do 'business' while wearing armor?"

Yang Lingchen chuckled inwardly, paid the entry fee, and entered Xuan Yin City.

Xuan Yin City truly lived up to its reputation as a city dominated by women. Walking down the street, roughly seventy percent of the people were female Disciples of Xuan Yin Palace, while the remaining thirty percent were young men visiting from various places.

With the boost of his handsome looks, as Yang Lingchen walked down the street, sexy and beautiful women would occasionally wink at him.

Yang Lingchen responded with blown kisses, making the women there blush with shyness.

Although Xuan Yin Palace only recruited female Disciples, it did not restrict its Disciples from interacting with other forces.

Historically, except for the Saintess and some high-ranking members who were not allowed to marry out, other female Disciples could do so as long as they made sufficient contributions to the Sect.

Thus, Xuan Yin City had become the most popular city in the Central Continent.

Many young talents would choose to visit Xuan Yin City while out on trials, hoping for a beautiful encounter.

Yang Lingchen arrived at a teahouse named the Tea Art Garden.

This teahouse was top-tier in terms of both scale and class within Xuan Yin City.

Many talented men and beautiful women would come here, drawn by its reputation, to compose poetry, drink tea, and admire flowers.

Yang Lingchen came here, naturally, to gather news about Li Hanyan.

Having just arrived in the Central Continent and being unfamiliar with the place, it wouldn't be easy to find Li Hanyan without some investigation.

"Have you heard? Yan Qingyun of the Yan Yang Sect seems to be coming to Xuan Yin Palace to propose marriage," a chubby young man with a comical look on his Face said.

"Yan Qingyun? Who does he want to form a marriage alliance with?" a rather handsome young man asked.

"I heard it's the Palace Master of Xuan Yin Palace's new Disciple, Li Hanyan," the chubby youth said.

"When did the Palace Master of Xuan Yin Palace take a new Disciple? How come I haven't heard of it?" the handsome youth asked.

"She was only taken in within the last two years. It's said that Saintess Qingcheng brought her back from the Eastern Continent."

"How does she look? How does she compare to Saintess Qingcheng?" the handsome youth asked curiously.

"I haven't seen her, but I heard her appearance is outstanding and her talent is quite good. She is currently a key focus of cultivation for Xuan Yin Palace. Supposedly, Yan Qingyun saw her by chance and has been pursuing her frantically ever since."

The chubby youth took a sip of tea and said.

"Then how high do you think the success rate of Yan Qingyun's proposal is?" the handsome youth asked.

"The chances of success are quite high. After all, Yan Qingyun is the Young Sect Master of the Yan Yang Sect. Whether in terms of looks or talent, he is outstanding among the younger generation. More importantly, he is only twenty thousand years old, and the relationship between Xuan Yin Palace and the Yan Yang Sect has always been good, so the Palace Master of Xuan Yin Palace might very well agree to this marriage."

The chubby youth analyzed.

In a corner of the Tea Art Garden, two young men were discussing.

"Holy crap, it's a good thing I came early, otherwise I wouldn't even know someone was trying to steal my girl," Yang Lingchen thought to himself at the neighboring table.

Then, he took out the black token that Mu Qingcheng had given him from the haotian jade space and walked toward the mountain gate of Xuan Yin Palace.

Xuan Yin Palace was located within the Xuan Yin Mountains, and at the foot of the mountains was Xuan Yin City.

"Young Master, please stop. This is Xuan Yin Palace. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without an invitation."

A woman in green clothes blocked Yang Lingchen's path.

"Beautiful sister, I know Mu Qingcheng. This is the token she gave me, telling me I could find her at Xuan Yin Palace if I needed anything."

Yang Lingchen handed the black token Mu Qingcheng had given him to the woman in green.

"Did the Saintess really give this to you?" the woman in green asked again.

"Of course," Yang Lingchen said.

"Fine, go wait in that pavilion over there. I'll go report for you."

The woman in green pointed to a pavilion in front of the Xuan Yin Palace mountain gate, gesturing for Yang Lingchen to wait there.

"Thank you, beautiful sister." Yang Lingchen was very polite, a sunny yet slightly lethal smile on his Face.

He understood the principle that to get someone to do something for you, you naturally had to leave a good impression.

Saintess Peak, Saintess Hall.

Mu Qingcheng and Li Hanyan were admiring flowers in her hall.

"Senior Sister Qingcheng, why is it that I can't remember anything except things related to cultivation?"

Li Hanyan's brow furrowed slightly as she tried hard to think about her past.

"You must have been too heavily injured, which is why you've forgotten your past memories. Don't think about the past anymore. Just Cultivate well here from now on. Once your cultivation level increases, you'll surely be able to remember," Mu Qingcheng comforted her.

"Mm...!" Li Hanyan nodded.

Just then, a maidservant walked in and said, "Saintess, a Disciple guarding the mountain gate sent a transmission saying there's a young man holding your token who wants to see you."

"My token?"

Mu Qingcheng's willow-leaf brows furrowed as she thought to herself, "Could it be him? No, that's impossible! With his cultivation, how could he have reached the Central Continent?"

"Senior Sister Qingcheng, who is it?" Li Hanyan asked.

"It's nothing, Junior Sister Hanyan. Go and Cultivate," Mu Qingcheng said. "It's probably an old friend. I'll go take a look and be right back."

"Go ahead, Senior Sister Qingcheng! I should head back to Cultivate as well, or Revered Master will scold me again." After saying this, Li Hanyan left Saintess Peak.
