103: Breaking the formation with your face

Flying Dragon City.

Zheng Family.

Wen Ruyu was chatting with the Zheng family's Old Ancestor, Zheng Yuanxing.

Because Zheng Yuanxing had come out of seclusion today, Wen Ruyu's insatiable curiosity immediately drove her to inquire about the results of his seclusion.

Zheng Yuanxing held a wine pot, drinking, while a nearby attendant was preparing tea for Wen Ruyu.

Seeing Wen Ruyu excitedly come over to ask about his seclusion results, Zheng Yuanxing smiled.

"Girl, you're always so impetuous. Although you're younger than us from the same period, you're almost two hundred years old, aren't you? Can't you be a little more steady?"

Zheng Yuanxing took a sip of wine and said.

Wen Ruyu didn't mind at all. She reclined beside the tea table, watching the attendant skillfully prepare tea, and said nonchalantly:

"Uncle Zheng, don't you know what kind of person I am? If my mother hadn't fought to the death with that old Firebird, I wouldn't know when I would have advanced to the Shattering Void Realm."

Zheng Yuanxing immediately recalled Wen Ruyu's mother, that powerful woman who, in her death, severely injured the Fierce Bird Clan's Old Ancestor and took down a Shattering Void Realm Firebird with her.

Originally, after her mother's death, Flying Dragon City was already in precarious straits, but stimulated by her mother's sacrifice, Wen Ruyu instantly broke through to the Shattering Void Realm, bringing the strength of Flying Dragon City and the Fierce Bird Clan to a delicate balance.

With Wen Ruyu's advancement, and after she obtained that treasured garment within that time-based secret realm, Flying Dragon City became the safest of the human race's four great cities.

It was also the city with the fewest wars.

Even during the great battle in Qianlong City a few days prior, when the Fierce Bird Clan attacked to tie down Flying Dragon City, Zheng Yuanxing did not emerge from seclusion.

This shows that the Fierce Bird Clan was truly just going through the motions. Of course, Wen Ruyu's formidable strength was also a contributing factor.

The outside world speculated that the treasured garment Wen Ruyu obtained was likely a peak Shattering Void-grade treasure, with the crucial aspect being its immense boost to the soul, allowing Wen Ruyu to consistently fight above her level.

Li Jun had even said that if Wen Ruyu were to advance to the peak of the Shattering Void Realm again, she would definitely surpass Chen Yuan and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Zheng Yuanxing looked at Wen Ruyu with doting affection, as if she were his own child: "No matter the reason for your advancement, your talent is beyond doubt."

"Then what about you, Uncle Zheng? How did this seclusion turn out?"

"I gained quite a bit. Although this Vajra is damaged, the Law of Power it contains is very compatible with me. However, it's still far from enough to break through, though my strength has increased a little."

Although Zheng Yuanxing was an old-timer at the peak of the Shattering Void Realm, his combat power wasn't very strong. He had already ceased to be a match for Wen Ruyu after she broke through to the late Shattering Void Realm.

Seeing that there wasn't much gossip, Wen Ruyu immediately lost interest. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and just as she was about to leave, her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Xun Xiuyuan's call.

"Little Brother Xun, have you thought it through? The photos I sent are absolutely real. If you don't like this one, there are others. I guarantee your satisfaction!"

Xun Xiuyuan was stunned after hearing this. Does your mind contain nothing else? But he dared not say that aloud: "Sister Wen, I also obtained a weapon in the Lingtian Relic. It's a soft whip, Shattering Void-grade, named Flowing Firefly."

Wen Ruyu's perfectly reclining body suddenly stood up. There was no charging up, no other movements; she simply went from lying down directly to standing, giving a very abrupt feeling.

Zheng Yuanxing was startled upon seeing this. This girl's mastery of space has grown stronger.

"Xun Xiuyuan, you can't joke about this kind of thing. A Shattering Void-grade soft whip, I wouldn't even dare to imagine it."

Wen Ruyu said seriously.

Zheng Yuanxing was also stunned when he heard Wen Ruyu's words. A Shattering Void-grade soft whip was exactly the weapon Wen Ruyu excelled at. If it truly existed, then Wen Ruyu's combat power would definitely skyrocket.

"No joke, Sister Wen! It's real. I'm waiting for you in Qianlong City." Ever since Xun Xiuyuan first called her Sister Wen, he had never changed it.

As Xun Xiuyuan finished speaking, Wen Ruyu had already vanished into thin air.

Zheng Yuanxing took another sip of wine and said, "Still so impetuous, not even saying hello. Truly ill-mannered."

Xun Xiuyuan was currently drawing prizes in his room. After more than two thousand attempts, he only got one Fragment of the Law of Space (III). There were no treasure chests or items, but he did gain over two hundred million exotic beast value.

He had just finished calling Wen Ruyu. Originally, Xun Xiuyuan wanted Old Ancestor Xie An to make the contact, but the Old Ancestor said, 'Do your own work; it's better to keep these favors for yourself.'

Just as he finished drawing prizes and absorbing the Fragment of the Law of Space, he heard a loud 'bang' in the air, as if someone was attacking the city's protective array.

Xun Xiuyuan instantly teleported to the skies above Qianlong City.

Several people were already standing in the air, including Old Ancestor Xie An.

Xie An looked at the beautiful woman in palace attire opposite him with a speechless expression, scratching his head and saying, "Couldn't you have notified us before entering?"

Wen Ruyu's face was dark as she cursed, "Which major city keeps its great array active for no reason? Are you all that idle?"

It turned out that the loud bang just now was the sound of Wen Ruyu colliding with the great array.

Xie An didn't indulge her: "Our place isn't like your Flying Dragon City. Both Shattering Void-grade weapons are in Qianlong City, so we can't be careless. What good person teleports directly into someone's city without even saying hello? Don't you agree?"

Wen Ruyu then saw Xun Xiuyuan suddenly appear in the air and was stunned for a moment: "You advanced to Shattering Void? You can teleport?"

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head: "No, I just had some insights, and then I could teleport. I'm still only in the Transcendent Realm."

Wen Ruyu's gaze towards Xun Xiuyuan grew even more fervent: "A sixteen-year-old Transcendent is also incredible. How many days has it been since you came out of the Remains?"

Xun Xiuyuan smiled: "Seventeen. My birthday was yesterday."

Wen Ruyu had already put aside the matter of her face-planting into the array. With a flash, she appeared beside Xun Xiuyuan, grabbed his arm, and entered the city directly.

Xun Xiuyuan led Wen Ruyu back to Xie Nanqiao's courtyard. Bai Xiaoou was in seclusion and hadn't come out, and Xie Nanqiao was meditating in the courtyard.

"Nan Qiao, go call Xiao Ou out."

Xun Xiuyuan simply called out and then invited Wen Ruyu to sit down.

Wen Ruyu said nothing, her eyes fixed on Xun Xiuyuan.

Upon seeing this, Xie Nanqiao murmured, "An old cow still wants to eat young grass."

Given Wen Ruyu's realm, she certainly heard it, but she completely ignored it, still staring at Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan didn't dally, directly taking out Flowing Firefly and handing it to Wen Ruyu.

Wen Ruyu did not reach out to take it. Her expression unchanged, she continued to stare at Xun Xiuyuan and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Although she was staring at Xun Xiuyuan, Wen Ruyu's spiritual power had been enveloping Flowing Firefly, and she thought to herself: If the conditions are too difficult, I'll just take it first.
