After Feng Wuchen advised her to diligently cultivate, Yun Shuang, despite her reluctance, was still pulled away by Zhou Xinxin.

"Yun Shuang, aren’t you afraid of offending Young Master Ye?" Zhou Xinxin asked anxiously, worried she might get implicated.

"Alright Xin Xin, you know I do not like Ye Tianfan," Yun Shuang replied helplessly.

"Yun Shuang, let me tell you, you know the Ye family’s power in Qizhou, it’s already on par with the Xuan Shadow Divine Palace. What about your mentor? Can he compare to Young Master Ye? At most, he’s just a Divine Mansion mentor, he’s totally unworthy of you," Zhou Xinxin said unceremoniously, deep down she despised Feng Wuchen.

Yun Shuang shook her head helplessly, knowing Feng Wuchen’s identity, a terrifying status that she couldn’t aspire to, nor could Zhou Xinxin understand.

Yun Shuang was too lazy to explain.

"Yun Shuang, in the eyes of the Ye family, your family is nothing. You should seize such a good opportunity, or you’ll definitely regret it in the future. If I had the chance, I would’ve seized it long ago," Zhou Xinxin shook her head secretly, thinking Yun Shuang was courting disaster.

What Zhou Xinxin didn’t know was that due to her attitude today, she had already missed an opportunity for the Zhou family to rise.

Xuan Shadow Divine Palace.

Upon Feng Wuchen’s arrival at the mountain gate, two disciples immediately approached respectfully: "Welcome, Lord Feng!"

"Palace Master, Elders, Lord Feng has arrived!" Within the hall, a disciple shouted excitedly.

Instantly, the Xuan Shadow Divine Palace’s Palace Master and the high-ranking officials hurried out to greet Feng Wuchen with respect.

"Welcome, Lord Feng," Palace Master Zhao XuanYing and the high-level members bowed respectfully in greeting.

The entire Xuan Shadow Divine Palace came out to welcome him. Such an impressive scene would surely astound Zhou Xinxin if she saw it.

Feng Wuchen was already accustomed to such scenes, having seen many, his gaze remained calm and unruffled.

"Lord Feng, why didn’t you come through the teleportation array?" an elder asked in astonishment.

Feng Wuchen replied indifferently, "I just came from the Youhun Realm."

"Palace Master Zhao, have there been any incidents with the Dragon God Palace?" Feng Wuchen asked calmly.

Zhao XuanYing replied respectfully, "Reporting to Lord Feng, the Dragon God Palace people at Beast Spirit Mountain have been smooth. However, Your Excellency Ye Jianying is very strict with them, almost daily brushing against the edge of death."

Feng Wuchen nodded, confident with Ye Jianying’s supervision.

"Lord Feng, recently the Guardian Spirit Clan sent people to Beast Spirit Mountain for Miss Xiao Xiao, but they were killed by Miss Xiao Xiao and her team. Not long after, a Divine Sovereign came, but he didn’t find Miss Xiao Xiao and her team, searched for a few days then left," Zhao XuanYing dutifully reported.

"Guardian Spirit Clan?" Feng Wuchen’s eyes flashed a chill, and an imposing killing intent burst forth, shaking Zhao XuanYing and the others to the core.

This kind of fearsome killing intent and dominating aura they only ever felt from Great Main God powerhouses before.

"They dare make a move on Xiao Xiao, truly they won’t see the coffin until they cry," Feng Wuchen said coldly, guessing that with support from a Holy Realm powerhouse, the Guardian Spirit Clan dared act again.

"Master, why not send the Youming Ghost to wipe them out," the Dragon God Sword suggested telepathically.

"No rush; the Guardian Spirit Clan’s reappearance after disappearing not long ago, especially aiming for Xiao Xiao, means either Bai Yunqi has reached Transcendent Saint or a Holy Realm powerhouse harbors ill intent toward Xiao Xiao," Feng Wuchen’s gaze turned colder. Though angry, he hadn’t yet lost reason.

"Lord Feng, shall we go to Beast Spirit Mountain now? I know where Miss Xiao Xiao and her team are," Zhao XuanYing quickly interjected.

Feng Wuchen shook his head slightly: "The Guardian Spirit Clan’s Divine Sovereign couldn’t find them, indicating they are in seclusion. There’s no need to rush, but keep them under surveillance as the Guardian Spirit Clan might still make a move."

"Rest assured, Lord Feng, I and the three grand elders will oversee personally," Zhao XuanYing stated with utmost respect, not daring to slack off the slightest.

Zhao XuanYing immediately arranged for the best inn to be booked at a nearby city.

Xuan Ying City, a power under the Xuan Shadow Divine Palace’s control.

"Lord Feng, though the Xuan Shadow Divine Palace’s hall is not bad, if you fancy it, a whole hall can be vacated for you anytime," a disciple stated respectfully.

"Take these Nitian Divine Pearls back to Palace Master Zhao, and keep one for yourself," Feng Wuchen took out a Storage Ring and handed it to the disciple.

"Thank you, Lord Feng! Thank you, Lord Feng!" the disciple exclaimed with joy, "Lord Feng, the Palace Master has already ordered, and the City Lord will arrive soon."

"Go back now." Feng Wuchen nodded, then went straight into the inn.

The shopkeeper quickly greeted him respectfully, not daring to neglect the slightest bit, treating Feng Wuchen as if he was his own grandfather, clearly Zhao XuanYing had already warned them not to provoke Feng Wuchen.

"I just heard from my father that a very formidable person from Qizhou arrived, telling me to stay well-behaved these days," outside the inn, a young master-like man said nonchalantly.

"My father said the same, and they said the person will attend the Family Head’s birthday celebration, instructing me to get close at all costs and agree to any requests," a noble young lady nodded.

"Agree to any requests?" the man looked at the lady in shock.

"..." The lady lowered her head, declining speech, evidently fearing to offend the man.

Pausing, the lady added, "Young Master Ye, today is the Family Head’s birthday, I had to work hard to invite Yun Shuang out for you. If you don’t put in more effort, she might get taken away, and there’s only an hour left."

"Hehe, don’t worry, since you helped me today, you’ll receive your due reward. It’s just a mere mentor, how could he possibly compare to me? Even if I killed him, the Divine Mansion wouldn’t dare do anything to me, speaking of talent, I am no worse than the Divine Mansion’s students," the man called Young Master Ye said arrogantly.

Hearing Young Master Ye’s words made the lady secretly delighted.

"This time, Young Master Ye will definitely win the beauty!"

"Young Master Ye is handsome and talented, Qizhou’s number one genius, even the Xuan Shadow Divine Palace’s young master can’t compare; how can a mere mentor compare to Young Master Ye? He’s not qualified!"

"Congratulations to Young Master Ye ahead of time!"

A few other following young masters began to fawn, yet Young Master Ye very much enjoyed it.

The pair were none other than the Ye family’s young master Ye Tianfan and Zhou family’s young lady Zhou Xinxin.

Ye Tianfan asked Zhou Xinxin for help in inviting Yun Shuang out at this Immortal Shadow Building.

Yet when they reached the inn’s entrance, they found it unusually deserted, with not a single person present, in contrast to its usual bustling state.

However, they didn’t think much of it.

"Old Yang, spread the word, today the Immortal Shadow Building is reserved by Young Master Ye for hosting a very important guest. Everyone else is to be thrown out," a young master shouted arrogantly, referring to Feng Wuchen as the ’everyone else’ in his command.
