188: Purple Spirit Fairy
A month later, in front of the Myriad Sound Sect’s mountain gate.
Three graceful figures soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds and flying towards the Inner Sea.
Leading them was Wang Ning, dressed in a light purple silk dress, exuding both heroism and charm.
Behind her, Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting, also stepping on Magical Artifacts, had faces full of excitement and novelty.
Not long ago, both of them had successfully reached Foundation Establishment in Lin Feng’s Immortal Cave.
“Young Miss, are we really going to Tianxing City?” Zhuo Ruting flew to Wang Ning’s side, a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
“Of course!” Wang Ning turned back, giving her a brilliant smile, “Father and Mother both agreed, and Green Brother will also send people to escort us!”
As soon as her voice fell, a gentle blue escape light chased up from behind, stopping steadily in front of the three.
The light dispersed, revealing a beautiful woman in palace attire with a gentle demeanor.
The Spiritual Pressure emanating from her far surpassed that of the three Wang Ning, indicating she was a Core Formation Cultivator.
“Are you the Fairies of the Myriad Sound Sect?” The beautiful woman smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Wang Ning.
Wang Ning’s heart tightened, and she shielded Fan Jingmei and the other behind her, vigilantly watching the newcomer.
“Senior, who are you?”
“Young Miss Wang need not be nervous.” The beautiful woman bowed slightly, adopting a very humble posture, “This concubine is Yun Xiu, and today Elder Qinglian sent me to escort Young Miss Wang and her group to Tianxing City.”
“Sent by Green Brother?” The vigilance on Wang Ning’s face faded, replaced by a hint of curiosity.
She scrutinized this Elder Yun, always feeling that something was strange.
Yun Xiu seemed to perceive her doubt and proactively explained, “Young Miss Wang, this concubine has admired your Sect for a long time. Upon hearing that your Sect intends to establish a branch in Tianxing City, I specifically came to pledge allegiance. Elder Qinglian knew of this matter, so he asked this concubine to go ahead and ensure Young Miss’s safety.”
“So that’s how it is.” Wang Ning suddenly understood, and she gave Yun Xiu a sweet smile, “Then, along the way, I’ll trouble Elder Yun.”
She had always implicitly trusted her Green Brother’s words.
Since it was someone arranged by Green Brother, there would certainly be no problem.
“Young Miss is too polite.” Yun Xiu returned a smile.
The group of four thus embarked on their journey to Tianxing City.
The journey was long, but uneventful.
Yun Xiu was an excellent guide, telling Wang Ning and the other two about the historical allusions and strange tales of the various islands in the Chaotic Star Sea.
From the treacherous and unpredictable Qiyuan Island, to the Kui Xing Island, rich in rare treasures, and then to the legends of those Nascent Soul old monsters.
Wang Ning listened with great interest, her understanding of the entire Chaotic Star Sea no longer limited to books and the descriptions of Elders, but becoming vivid and three-dimensional.
Over time, she and Yun Xiu also became familiar, no longer addressing her as Senior, but changing to “Sister Yun.”
Several months later, a massive city suspended above a sea of clouds finally appeared in everyone’s sight.
Tianxing City, they had arrived.
As soon as she stepped into the city’s teleportation array, Wang Ning was shocked by the sight before her.
The streets were bustling with people, Cultivators were like weaving, various escape lights crisscrossed in the air, and the shouts of vendors in the market were incessant.
The Spiritual Qi concentration here was several tenths higher than in the Myriad Sound Sect.
The Star Palace Disciple guarding the teleportation array immediately saluted respectfully upon seeing Yun Xiu.
When their gaze swept over Wang Ning, that respect was even more intense than it was for Yun Xiu.
“Let’s go to the stronghold Father mentioned first.” Wang Ning retracted her gaze and said to Yun Xiu.
Before coming, Sect Leader Wang had already found them a place to stay in Tianxing City.
“Young Miss.” Yun Xiu, however, smiled and shook her head, “That stronghold’s location is not good. Elder Qinglian… has prepared another Sect address for you.”
“Another one?”
Wang Ning blinked, looking at Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting behind her, finding that they too looked bewildered.
A hint of doubt arose in her heart, but she still nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll listen to Sister Yun.”
Yun Xiu led the three through the bustling streets, finally stopping in an area that could be called the golden section of Tianxing City.
Before them was a vast and magnificent complex of buildings.
Pavilions and towers, carved beams and painted pillars, and two massive Qilin stone sculptures at the entrance, majestic and extraordinary.
However, the vermillion lacquer gate was wide open, but there was no one inside, making it appear somewhat desolate.
Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting were already stunned.
“Elder… Elder Yun, did you not take the wrong path?” Fan Jingmei stammered.
Wang Ning was also stunned.
“Young Miss, this is the place.” Yun Xiu’s voice pulled her thoughts back.
“The rent for this place has already been paid by Elder Qinglian. This stronghold will belong to Young Miss from now on.”
“What?”
Even with Wang Ning’s calm Heart-Nature, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at this moment.
This was the most prosperous area of Tianxing City!
The Spirit Stone required for such a stronghold, let alone a year’s rent, even for a single day, would absolutely be an astronomical figure!
The address her father found for the Myriad Sound Sect was merely an inconspicuous, remote corner on the outskirts of Tianxing City, compared to which, this was the difference between a thatched hut and a palace.
Green Brother… who exactly is he?
Just as Wang Ning’s mind was shaking violently and in a state of confusion.
“Whoosh—”
Dozens of streaks of light descended from the sky, landing uniformly on the open ground in front of them.
All of these people were wearing Star Palace standard Magical Artifact robes, their Aura was solid, and the lowest cultivation was Late Stage Foundation Establishment.
The middle-aged steward leading them was even a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator.
His gaze swept over Wang Ning, and after confirming her identity, without the slightest hesitation, he knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.
“Young Miss Wang! I have been ordered by Elder Qinglian to assist Young Miss Wang in establishing the Myriad Sound Business Alliance in Tianxing City!”
Behind him, dozens of Star Palace Cultivators knelt down in unison.
“We, await Young Miss’s command!”
Their voices were neat and loud, making Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting’s faces turn pale, and they instinctively took a step back.
Wang Ning was completely bewildered.
She looked at the scene before her, watching the Middle Stage Core Formation steward kneel before her, her mind buzzing.
Her Green Brother was definitely not just an ordinary Core Formation Elder.
To be able to command a Star Palace Core Formation Elder, to be able to freely mobilize Star Palace elites, to be able to give her the most expensive property in Tianxing City…
His identity was probably beyond her imagination.
She suddenly remembered the story Green Brother told her eight years ago.
The girl who lost the protection of her parents and single-handedly carried the entire Sect.
She remembered Green Brother’s eyes, full of expectation, when he looked at her.
Wang Ning took a deep breath, calming her emotions.
The confusion and shock in her eyes faded, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and determination.
She stepped forward, bowed gracefully to the steward and the group of Cultivators, performing a standard Junior present.
“Everyone, there’s no need for such formalities! This humble girl is Wang Ning, and I thank you all in advance.”
Her voice was clear, yet carried a special temperament.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting this delicate-looking young girl to possess such an Aura.
“Since it was Elder Qinglian’s invitation, then we are all one family, and there’s no need for such formalities in the future.”
Wang Ning straightened up, her gaze sweeping over everyone, a gentle and confident smile on her face.
“My Myriad Sound Sect is new here and wishes to establish a business alliance in Tianxing City. In the future, we will have to rely heavily on everyone.”
She showed no signs of shyness, beginning to explain her initial ideas for establishing the business alliance to everyone.
From the business direction to personnel allocation, and how to deal with other forces in the city.
Her Ideas was clear, and her conversation was graceful and well-organized.
That composure and wisdom were completely unlike a teenage girl who had just left her Sect and was new to the world.
Yun Xiu, standing by, watched this scene with admiration in her eyes.
She thought to herself, as expected of someone Elder Qinglian values. With this Heart-Nature and this Aura, given time, she will surely achieve great things.
And so, in the most prosperous part of Tianxing City, a new force named “Myriad Sound Sect” quietly hung its plaque.
Initially, the old established forces in the city did not pay much attention to this name.
What kind of waves could a small, foreign Sect stir up?
But soon, they discovered something was amiss.
This Myriad Sound Sect’s rise was too rapid, almost unbelievable.
Since its establishment, Core Formation Cultivators, whose origins were unknown, would often come to their door, requesting to join and become Guest Elders.
Its shops could always produce some Medicinal Pills and Materials rarely seen outside.
What puzzled them most was that the Star Palace seemed exceptionally friendly, even… indulgent, towards this Myriad Sound Sect.
In just half a year, the Myriad Sound Sect had established a firm foothold in Tianxing City, subtly showing a tendency to contend with those old business alliances, and was even hailed by busybodies as the prototype of Tianxing City’s first business alliance.
Only then did the forces in the city truly begin to take this behemoth seriously.
They also finally came to know the Sect Leader of this emerging force—a young woman who rarely appeared, was mysterious and unpredictable, yet possessed astonishing means.
Purple Spirit Fairy.
