333: Chapter 333 Why is Master acting strangely?

Deep in the night.

A young girl arrived, stepping through the void. Her moon-white, wide-sleeved immortal dress swayed gently in the wind. With every step, her robes fluttered, making her delicate figure look like an ice lotus atop a snowy mountain—cold, holy, and imbued with an ethereal Immortal Qi.

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen, with a slender and graceful figure. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows like distant mountains painted with ink, her eyes like cold pools frozen over, and her lips a pale pink. Her appearance was cold and unearthly.

"Revered Master, are you free? I have some questions regarding my Cultivation that I would like to ask you."

Nan Yin landed at the palace entrance and knocked gently on the door.

After a thousand years, the Revered Master and Disciple had finally reunited. She had a thousand words she wanted to pour out to Yun Qiyao.

However, there were too many outsiders earlier, and Yun Qiyao had to handle many affairs after regaining power, so Nan Yin had come to visit in the dead of night.

Inside the palace, Yun Qiyao heard Nan Yin's voice. Her beautiful eyes widened, her mouth was full, and she felt as if her heartbeat had stopped.

"Mmph..."

Clatter!

Outside the door, Nan Yin heard a chaotic collision sound, but no response from Yun Qiyao.

"Huh?"

"Strange, why does Revered Master's voice sound so weird? It seems like there was a swallowing sound too?"

"Is Revered Master eating a late-night snack?"

Nan Yin muttered to herself, feeling quite surprised.

But out of respect for Yun Qiyao, she did not release her Divine Sense to investigate the situation inside the room.

Nan Yin's voice was soft, but with Yun Qiyao's profound Cultivation, she heard it clearly.

She hurriedly tilted her head back, trying to get up to respond.

But Ji Taichang chuckled mischievously and reached out to press her head down.

Helpless, Yun Qiyao could only mumble: "Mmph... Xiao Yin, wait a moment. I... I have some private matters to attend to... Hmph!"

Nan Yin blinked, feeling confused. She felt more and more that Revered Master was acting strange, as if something wasn't right.

But she still obediently said: "Alright, then this Disciple will wait for Revered Master to finish."

Yun Qiyao's face was flushed red, her heart pounding wildly with extreme nervousness.

If Nan Yin discovered her relationship with Ji Taichang...

Hiss!

Yun Qiyao's heart trembled; it felt like a social death.

Seeing Ji Taichang's mischievous smile, she finally understood why he didn't want her to make their true relationship public.

This guy was doing it on purpose!

However... sneaking around was indeed much more exciting than doing it openly.

"Bad guy!"

Yun Qiyao scolded him in her heart, but a strange emotion sprouted.

This feeling... it didn't seem so bad?

[Ding! Yun Qiyao's favorability has increased by 10 points. The Host can obtain 10% of the Nine-Element Demon Saint's Cultivation/ability. Please choose.]

[Yun Qiyao's favorability: 72 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

The System notification sounded out of the blue, causing Ji Taichang to pause slightly.

He looked at the flushed and nervous Yun Qiyao, a mischievous smirk slowly curling on his lips.

Who would have thought this girl, who looked so pure and icy, actually liked this kind of thing?

Then I won't hold back!

Half an hour later.

Yun Qiyao finally opened the door and let Nan Yin in.

"Eh?"

Nan Yin blinked, noticing that Yun Qiyao had covered her face with a veil, revealing only her beautiful eyes.

She couldn't help but ask: "Revered Master, what is this?"

Yun Qiyao coughed lightly and said nonchalantly: "This is a Magic Treasure I refined recently. It can conceal one's aura and alter one's appearance and Cultivation. I just happened to test its effect."

"Oh, oh."

Nan Yin didn't suspect anything. A smile appeared on her usually cold and holy face: "This Disciple has just broken through to the Mahayana Stage not long ago and would like to ask Revered Master for guidance on Law control..."

"System, claim the Nine-Element Demon Saint's ability."

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 30% of the Nine-Element Demon Saint's ability.]

A massive surge of Origin power emerged in Ji Taichang's Dantian, turning into a wisp of golden Law power that merged into Ji Taichang's Wheel of Laws.

This was the Bloodline Divine Ability of the Golden Nine-Headed Lion clan: Lion's Roar.

The Golden Nine-Headed Lion was an ancient Vicious Beast. It was said that the Lion's Roar could shake the firmament beyond the domain, and the terrifying sound waves could easily cause large-scale damage; it was extremely fierce and violent.

However, compared to Ji Taichang's six Supreme-grade talents, it was nothing.

Shuiyue Holy Land.

On a towering mountain, many Cultivators were busy working, building a massive and sacred golden palace.

The plaque clearly bore the five grand, sweeping characters: "Seven Luminaries Spirit Saint Palace."

After Yun Qiyao regained control of the Shuiyue Holy Land, she appointed Cai Ling as the Sacred Beast of the Shuiyue Holy Land.

At this moment, the little girl had her hands on her hips, feeling the awe-filled and fanatical gazes of the many Cultivators in the Shuiyue Holy Land. She couldn't help but grin, looking very high-spirited.

"Stop grinning like a fool; it's time to work."

Ji Taichang appeared behind her like a ghost and patted her head.

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Cai Ling immediately summoned the square inch chessboard and rubbed her palms together: "Are we going to wipe out the Black Thorn Cult this time?"

Ji Taichang shook his head slightly: "The Black Thorn Cult is very cunning. No one knows where their lair is hidden. We can't find them for now. Let's go to the War God Temple first."

"Ah?"

Cai Ling couldn't help but shrink her neck: "But... the War God Temple has experts at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage guarding it!"

"And the War God Temple is a terrifying Holy Land second only to the Imperial Clans. It is known as the oldest Holy Land of the Human Race. Every generation has Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouses, and its foundation is unimaginably deep..."

"Of course, Revered Master is also very strong and invincible, but after all, you are just one person. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to go and challenge the War God Temple head-on now?"

Ji Taichang was unfazed: "The War God Temple is the one who repeatedly provoked this seat first. Why should we be afraid when we are in the right?"

"It's not necessarily a war with the War God Temple this time... unless the War God Temple gets desperate and loses its temper."

"Even if we really fight, I'm not afraid. It's not like I have no one backing me!"

"Alright!"

Seeing Ji Taichang so full of confidence, Cai Ling nodded, immediately revealed her true form, and activated the square inch chessboard, carrying Ji Taichang toward the War God Temple!

Central Plains Great Domain.

The territory of the War God Temple was located within a range of towering mountains, like coiled dragons, majestic and grand.

Especially the central Sacred Mountain, which was unimaginably massive, towering into the clouds.

What was most shocking was that above this Sacred Mountain, a huge floating island stood in the firmament. On the island were clusters of ancient trees, and an ancient and magnificent bronze palace stood, resembling an ancient War God, giving off endless oppression!

Around the floating island, circles of brilliant rainbow light swirled, and there were stars guarding it—that was the manifestation of the Laws of Heaven and Earth!

The War God Temple was the undisputed hegemon of the Central Plains Great Domain.

Compared to other Holy Lands, the number of people in the War God Temple was very small, but every single one was a Genius among Geniuses. It was said that an Inner Sect Disciple of the War God Temple was equivalent to a True Disciple of other Holy Lands!

And the True Disciples of the War God Temple were Prodigies on the level of Saints and Saintesses of other Holy Lands!

As for the Elders and Old Ancestors of the War God Temple, they were undoubtedly equally powerful and terrifying.
