Chapter 1069: Chapter 1095: As fierce as a second tiger! (Three more) Chapter 1069: Chapter 1095: As fierce as a second tiger! (Three more) A figure appeared in mid-air, and the entire Qianyuan Ridge was suddenly enveloped in silence.

“Who? Who would dare to come out at this time?”

“Is that actually a woman? My heavens, could this woman be an immortal descending from the heavens? So exquisite and ethereal.”

“A woman of the Saint Realm, look quickly, that elder by her side seems to be a Great Saint too!”

On Qianyuan Ridge, tens of thousands of practitioners simultaneously let out cries of astonishment, and amid the buzzing discussion, Hua Youyue, dressed in white, appeared in mid-air, looking indifferently at the white-bearded elder.

The white-bearded elder frowned, and upon seeing Hua Youyue, burst into hearty laughter, “You’ve finally shown yourselves!”

Mei Wuhua snorted coldly and said, “Diao Wutian, you knew damn well we were coming, yet you allowed your disciple to refine the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower. Is that not showing grave disrespect to my Tri-Floral Sanctuary?”

Diao Wutian was the white-bearded elder. Hearing this, he laughed loudly and said, “Not at all. How could my Shaking Light Holy Land matter if the Tri-Floral Sanctuary exists in the world? It’s just that… Mei Wuhua, I believe you are aware of the current situation better than I am. The world of cultivation is in its infancy, the Great Desolation is coming, and the Tri-Floral Sanctuary has already fallen into decline. Surely, you are clearer about this than I am. The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, now seemingly unclaimed… however…”

At this point, Diao Wutian spoke with a chuckle, “Nevertheless, you did manage to bring the Tri-Floral Saintess along. Back when the Tri-Floral Saintess was alive, even my master had to give her three points of courtesy. Now that the Tri-Floral Saintess has successfully reincarnated, how could I not give her this opportunity?”

Upon hearing Diao Wutian’s words, Mei Wuhua’s expression changed, and he stared at Diao Wutian for a long while before speaking, “Are you willing to let me take the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower away with me?”

Yang Zhen was also taken aback. Could all these Great Saints be so easy to talk to?

The young lady was accompanied by only one Flowerless Saint, Mei Wuhua, whereas Shaking Light Holy Land and Third Mountain Sacred Land had as many as five. With such a disparity in strength, it wasn’t a matter of giving the young lady a chance, but rather Shaking Light Holy Land and Third Mountain Sacred Land could easily take both of them captive if they desired.

Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy, a grand conspiracy!

Indeed, beneath Diao Wutian’s hearty laughter, he said, “Taking it away is, of course, not possible. I have invited so many fellow daoists here to witness the breaking of the ice coffin’s seals of Saintess Tianxuan by the Shaking Light Holy Land. If you take the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower away, wouldn’t that put me in an unjust position?”

Diao Wutian motioned for the Shaking Light Saint to come closer and said with a chuckle, “However, I am not an unreasonable person. The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower was an artifact of the Tri-Floral Saintess in the age of the Great Desolation. Although it was borrowed by Saintess Tianxuan prior to the great catastrophe, no one else has managed to refine it successfully. Its fate with the Tri-Floral Saintess is not yet over. This is my disciple, the Shaking Light Saint, whom you’ve also seen. If not for the Tower’s refusal, he would have successfully refined it by now.”

At this, Diao Wutian’s face showed a kind smile as he looked at Shaking Light Saint and Hua Youyue, “How about this for a proposal? Let Shaking Light and the Tri-Floral Saintess, oh no, I should now address her as Saintess Hua, attempt to refine the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower. Whichever of them succeeds will claim it.”

Mei Wuhua, after listening, showed a hint of mockery and said, “Old man, don’t blame me for not warning you, you’re pushing the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower away from yourself!”

Diao Wutian burst into laughter and said, “My old friend Mei, you’re still so impatient. Let me finish speaking.”

Then, turning to Hua Youyue, Diao Wutian said, “Now, the Tri-Floral Sanctuary is left with only you two. Though the world is in its infancy, and the ambition to restore the Tri-Floral Sanctuary’s former glory is as hard as scaling the heavens. If the Tri-Floral Sanctuary and Shaking Light Holy Land were to form an alliance, I believe that in a few more years, the entire Central Court will be dominated by the Shaking Light Holy Land!”

Hearing this, the gathered crowd cheered in unison.

The Shaking Light Saint, clad in white, floated in mid-air with his robes fluttering in the wind, while Hua Youyue, serene as an epiphyllum flower, appeared to the crowd as a match made in heaven with him!

Amidst the resounding cheers, as the favorite of the crowd emerged, even Mei Wuhua’s face showed a grave expression.

Oh my!

The miniature Yang Zhen inside Yang Zhen’s mind outright stabbed the Shaking Light Saint to death.

“This old man, harboring ulterior motives, should be executed, executed indeed!”

“Why?” Han Yan’er’s face also looked somewhat displeased, as she asked with a look of astonishment.

Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, “This is clearly a trap set in a series. If the young lady agrees to become Dao companions with the Shaking Light Saint, then the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower would still belong to the Shaking Light Holy Land. Plus, out of nowhere, they’d get a future Saintess for a daughter-in-law. That’s a stroke of luck you couldn’t even find with a lantern.”

“But what if sister doesn’t agree?” Han Yan’er’s face had turned ashen.

“Doesn’t agree?” Yang Zhen sneered, “Then that’s just being ungrateful. Since that’s the case, on what grounds should they give the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower to you?”

“But… but the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower is originally sister’s,” Han Yan’er said, stamping her foot in anger.

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “Look around at these idiots. Which one of them doesn’t think it’s better for the young lady to be with the Shaking Light Saint? At this time, if the young lady says a single word of disagreement, what will the others think?”

So angry she couldn’t speak, Han Yan’er watched as Bai Xinsi raised his hand and said, “Well… Brother Yang, I’m not like those idiots. Although Yang Zhen, the bastard, is utterly shameful, I still think that, between Hua Youyue and Yang Zhen, they are a match made in heaven.”

Yang Zhen was taken aback, then patted Bai Xinsi on the shoulder and said, “Good brother, from now on, when you go out to brag, just say that you’re endorsed by Sao Saint. You’re bragging by imperial command!”

As he spoke, Yang Zhen, under Bai Xinsi’s dumbfounded gaze, hefted the Great Missing Sword with a clank.

“What are you going to do?” Han Yan’er’s face changed, as she hurriedly grabbed Yang Zhen’s hand and asked.

“Damn it all, these wretched fools are after my betrothed. How could Sao Saint just stand by and watch?”

At this moment, Yang Zhen was raging like a second-rate hoodlum!

“I apologize!”

Hua Youyue’s words were cut-and-dried, leaving tens of thousands of people dumbfounded.

A Sacred Land with only two people left, what right do they have to apologize?

Everyone stared blankly at Hua Youyue, especially some women, who had already started to craft cynical remarks.

“She really thinks she’s the Tri-Floral Saintess. Even if she truly was the Tri-Floral Saintess, now that there are only two of them left, how can she look down on the Shaking Light Saint?”

“Quick, look at the Shaking Light Saint’s face turning green, he seems very disappointed.”

“Poor Shaking Light Saint, devastated inside, looks like he is about to destroy the flower with a ruthless hand.”

…
“Sorry everyone, our little lady is already taken. You should have heard of her betrothed!”

“Yang, Yang, Yang… Yang Zhen?”

The Shaking Light Saint’s expression underwent a huge shock as he looked at the Great Missing Sword on Yang Zhen’s shoulder and the crafty cat, unable to recognize him. He exclaimed out loud on the spot.

“You are Yang Zhen?” Diao Wutian frowned slightly and chuckled. “Junior Brother Yang, I truly admire your guts.”

“The feeling is mutual!” Yang Zhen flashed a grin at Hua Youyue and, turning his head towards Diao Wutian, he said, “Sao Saint also truly admires your thick skin!”
