Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

Yan Yun frowned slightly, with a look of regret on his face. It seemed that this person knew a secret method similar to Blood Shadow Escape, but he didn't want to waste energy tracking him.

So he turned around and looked at the spirit bird that was bound by the Eight Spirit Ruler. A golden light shot out from his fingertips, cutting it in half.

This spiritual bird that had been nurtured with blood since childhood could not be tamed again, so Yan Yun decided to eliminate it himself.

Afterwards, he turned into a green rainbow and rushed towards Tianxing City. An hour later, he successfully passed through the Fenghuo Tianjue Formation and arrived at the giant island.

Yan Yun stopped and looked out at Tianxing City. The city wall was covered by a light blue curtain of light, and the blue and red clouds in the sky collided with each other, and thunder roared.

Yan Yun flew towards Tianxing City without hesitation.

After a while, he arrived at the city gate but was blocked by a blue light curtain.

The Xinggong monks sensed Yan Yun's arrival and sounded a shrill alarm. More than a dozen monks appeared on the city wall, and they all looked at Yan Yun in surprise.

Is Yan Yun an attacker from the Anti-Star Alliance or a reinforcement from other forces?
Yan Yun possesses the supernatural power of clairvoyance. Although he is far away from the cultivators on the distant city gate, he can clearly observe their behavior.

Yan Yun remained silent, raised his hand lightly, and the Star Palace Guest Token appeared in his palm.

Then Yan Yun gave a light push, and the token instantly floated towards the light curtain and hovered steadily above it.

The monks on the city wall had a somewhat heated conversation, and several stronger monks even examined the token carefully.

Suddenly, one of the monks' expression changed drastically and he turned around to talk in a low voice with the others.

Their expressions instantly turned into surprise, and one of them quickly took out a formation flag from his arms and waved it several times at the blue light curtain outside the city.

The light curtain flickered, and the token turned into a yellow stream of light and passed through the light curtain, disappearing, and then reappeared on the other side, as if the light curtain had become invisible. Yan Yun watched coldly, remaining silent.

At this moment, the monks on the city gate passed the tokens around, with expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.

One of them pointed at Yan Yun and whispered a few words. Then he took out a sound transmission note from his arms. With a wave of his hand, the note turned into flames and rushed towards the city.

Then, the monk took out a magical instrument similar to a formation plate and muttered something. The sound was clearly transmitted to Yan Yun's ears through the formation plate:

"Senior Yan, please forgive us! Due to special circumstances, we have not been able to see your true face before, so we cannot let you enter the city immediately."

"However, we have sent a sound transmission note to the Palace Master. I believe that the Palace Master will come in person soon."

Yan Yun frowned slightly, nodded gently, then put his hands behind his back and stood quietly.

Not long after, three dazzling rays of light rushed in from the city and landed at the city gate.

Among them were two male monks and one female monk. The female monk was in the center, and the two male monks respected her.

This female monk had a beautiful appearance and gave Yan Yun an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It was Ling Yuling in her female attire.

The two male monks were a yellow-robed monk about thirty years old, and an old man with a head full of silver hair.

The three of them stood on the tower, their eyes fixed on Yan Yun. The other guarding monks stepped forward one after another, respectfully waiting for orders.

"It's really Brother Yan, that's great! I thought you might not be able to make it in time. Someone, quickly lift the ban and let Brother Yan in."

Ling Yulin's eyes sparkled with excitement as she gave orders to other cultivators.

"Palace Master, is this appropriate? Is this person trustworthy? If he is a member of the Anti-Star Alliance in disguise, wouldn't it cause a disaster?"

The yellow-robed monk looked doubtful and raised questions. It was obvious that he did not know Yan Yun's exact identity.

"Don't worry, it's not fake. This guest token is specially made, and there is only one in the world. Moreover, with the opponent's magical power, no one can take his belongings in a single battle."

Ling Yuling answered firmly.

After hearing Ling Yulin's explanation, the yellow-robed monk had no choice but to nod silently.

Seeing this scene, the guarding monks no longer hesitated. They took out formation flags or formation plates from their waists and threw the magic weapons in their hands. Lights of various colors merged into the light curtain in front of the city gate.

The blue light curtain was like a bright lamp illuminating the darkness. It suddenly shone brightly, and then a huge circular passage with a diameter of about ten feet appeared strangely in the central area.

Yan Yun glanced at it expressionlessly, then transformed into a ray of green rainbow as swift as a gust of wind and thunder, and plunged into the passage quickly and accurately.

After just a few flashes, Yan Yun's figure appeared inside the restriction.

The light curtain seemed to be pulled by some force. After a tremor, the huge elliptical channel disappeared without a trace.

"Friend Yan, you have gone through so much hardship and finally arrived here."

A green rainbow swept across the towering city walls, and Yan Yun's figure emerged strangely at an unimaginable speed.

Ling Yuling, who was dressed in women's clothing, gently bit her delicate and tempting lips, her face filled with genuine joy.

"Since your Palace Master has summoned me from thousands of miles away through the talisman, how can I disappoint you and break my promise?"

Yan Yun answered in a calm tone, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

"I am truly grateful for Fellow Daoist Yan's great help. With Fellow Daoist Yan here, I'm sure we won't have to worry about those clowns from the Anti-Star Alliance."

"However, this is not a suitable place for conversation. I ask Brother Daoist Yan to follow me to the Holy Mountain to discuss important matters together."

"Elder Sun, please inform all the elders in this palace who are not on duty to gather in the temple. I have something important to discuss with you."

As Ling Yuling spoke, she turned and gave orders to the yellow-robed monk beside her.

"I will follow the orders of the Palace Master!"

The yellow-robed monk had the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage. He had been observing Yan Yun carefully since Yan Yun first appeared.

However, when he tried to use his divine sense to probe Yan Yun's strength, he found that the other party's magic power was as deep as the sea.

He was unable to discern Yan Yun's true realm, which shocked him deeply and a look of deep awe appeared on his face.

Hearing Ling Yulin's instructions, he immediately responded with a fist respectfully clasped, then took out a stack of sound transmission notes from his arms and began to convey information to the elders of the Star Palace.

At this moment, Yan Yun turned his gaze to the white-haired old man and spoke to him in a calm tone.

"I never thought that after not seeing you for so many years, you would find that you are still as charming as ever, and your cultivation has even improved. I am so happy!"

This old man was none other than the old man named Zhao who had suggested dual cultivation to Yan Yun on Silver Shark Island.

In just over a hundred years, this old man, like Ling Yulin, successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"Haha, how could I have achieved such success? It was all thanks to the careful cultivation of the two old palace masters that my cultivation was able to reach a higher level."

When the old man surnamed Zhao heard this, he could only smile bitterly, as if there were some unknown secrets hidden in it.

"So that's it!" A strange light flashed in Yan Yun's eyes and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"It turns out that Elder Zhao and Brother Yan have known each other for a long time. This is really great. Let's move to the temple first, take a rest, and then talk in detail." Ling Yuling chuckled and said softly.

Yan Yun naturally would not object, he just nodded slightly.

Afterwards, they controlled their own escape lights and rushed towards the holy mountain in the center of Tianxing City.

Under the guidance of Ling Yulin and others, Yan Yun flew directly to the top of the holy mountain and landed in front of a seemingly plain bluestone palace.

Yan Yun carefully looked at the stone hall in front of him, and an unexpected surprise appeared on his face.

"Does Fellow Daoist Yan think that my temple is too simple?"

Ling Yuling turned her head, glanced at Yan Yun, smiled sweetly, and asked.

"It really exceeded Yan's expectations!"

Yan Yun did not hide his thoughts and admitted it frankly.

After hearing this, Ling Yuling's smile became even happier, and she immediately took Yan Yun into the gate of the stone hall.

More than a dozen Xinggong disciples who were waiting outside the palace gate bowed and greeted them. After their eyes briefly swept over Yan Yun, they all revealed a bit of curiosity.

Ling Yuling did not give any answers to the gatekeepers. She just took Yan Yun into the palace gate, walked through a narrow corridor, and finally stepped into an ancient and elegant hall.

Several people sat down according to their status.

"Mr. Yan, you must have understood the difficulties I'm facing on your way here, right?" Ling Yuling asked straight to the point.

"This is all I know! The current situation in Xinggong is indeed not optimistic!"

Yan Yun answered calmly.

"Then Mr. Yan should also know that our Xinggong was originally in an advantageous position."

"However, the situation changes rapidly. It was precisely because Wan Tianming successfully advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and became a high-level cultivator that the situation deteriorated drastically."

"It is the Anti-Star Alliance that has gradually eroded the grassroots strength of our Star Palace, which has led us to the current situation where Star City is trapped both internally and externally."

"As long as Mr. Yan can hold off the Sect Master Wan, we at Xinggong are still confident that we can inflict heavy damage on the Anti-Star Alliance."

Ling Yuling said this with a serious expression, a hint of decisiveness in her brows.

"Miss Ling, do you want me to fight with that Sect Master Wan?"

Yan Yun's eyes flickered as he asked back calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Yan is dissatisfied with this?"

Ling Yuling was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but Fairy Ling might have misunderstood something?"

Yan Yun raised his eyebrows and responded bluntly.

"Misunderstanding? Could it be that Mr. Yan didn't come here to help me?"

Ling Yuling's expression changed slightly.

"Of course not, but..."

Yan Yun was about to continue explaining, but suddenly paused and turned to look at the entrance of the hall.

Seeing this, Ling Yuling also looked over.

A moment later, three cultivators walked slowly in from outside the hall, one of them was in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and the other two were in the early Nascent Soul stage.

The cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was a sturdy man in purple with pockmarks all over his face. When he stepped into the hall, he did not salute Ling Yuling, but instead stared at Yan Yun with a stern expression, giving people an impression of being unruly.

However, when this person used his divine sense to find out the truth about Yan Yun, his pupils shrank instantly and his face became extremely ugly.

At this moment, Ling Yuling said with a smile on her face:

"Elder Ma, you are here so quickly. Please take your seats and wait for a while. After the other elders have arrived, I will introduce you to a distinguished guest from the Star Palace!"

"Well, this fellow Taoist has profound cultivation, so it is only natural for the Palace Master to receive him in such a solemn manner."

The sturdy man's expression returned to normal. After forcing a smile at Yan Yun, he sat down on a chair beside him. The rebellious aura on his body also weakened a lot.

Although the other two Star Palace elders were unable to discern Yan Yun's true strength, they were surprised to see the purple-clothed burly man being so submissive.

They couldn't help but be secretly shocked, so they all bowed to Ling Yuling and then found a seat to sit down.

Seeing this, Ling Yuling gently raised her slender wrist and combed the hair on her shoulders with her white fingers, but a cold light flashed in her bright eyes.

Yan Yun sat aside and observed all this quietly, with a half-smile on his face.

It was obvious that Elder Ma was not convinced by the new Lord of the Star Palace, and Ling Yuling cleverly used Yan Yun's power to establish her own authority.

This made Yan Yun feel a little helpless and amused.

However, since Ling Yuling had a friendship with him before, he would not care too much about this matter.

After all, no matter how Ling Yuling acted, she could not cause any substantial harm to him.

With the arrival of Elder Ma and others, other Star Palace elders also rushed to the temple. When they saw Yan Yun, the unfamiliar high-level cultivator, they were all surprised.

However, the experience of these elders who have reached the Nascent Soul stage in the martial arts world is enough to make them shrewd and cunning.

Although they could not sense Yan Yun's true realm through their divine sense, when they saw Elder Ma, who arrived first, showing an extremely honest attitude, they could not help but feel shocked in their hearts and showed an extremely humble attitude.

In a short period of time, more than twenty elders from the Star Palace had gathered in the hall, including the old man surnamed Zhao, the burly man in purple robes, and Ling Yulin herself. They had all reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The other elders are in the early stages.

"Since all the elders are basically here, I will introduce a distinguished guest to you. This is the guest official personally identified by the old palace master during his lifetime, Yan Yun, Fellow Daoist Yan!"

Seeing that almost everyone was present, Ling Yuling slowly stood up, gently pointed at Yan Yun with a jade finger, and began to introduce them with a smile on her face.

"Yan Yun! Oh, it's him?"

Some of the elders present had heard of this name before, which immediately caused a commotion, and some even couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

Yan Yun looked sharply at the elder who was shouting. He found that the elder was actually a man in white with a peaceful face. (End of this chapter)
