Chapter 334: The Northern Mountain Princess and the Sacred
Sect’s Saintess
The Yue family was in complete disarray. Under orders from the Yue ancestor, the Jiang clan, Yue
Taisheng’s maternal family, had all been detained. Tens of thousands of their members were now
locked away in the Yue family’s prison.
Meanwhile, word spread rapidly throughout Sky Blue City: the Northern Mountain Princess was
coming to avenge her husband.
The city was abuzz with speculation and tension. All eyes were now on the Yue family as the storm
gathered.
City Lord’s Mansion
In the City Lord’s Mansion, Guo Ming, a tall and imposing middle-aged man, stood in a private
chamber.
Before him were three figures dressed in black robes, their faces obscured by veils. The emblem of a
demonic otherworldly flower, steeped in dark energy, adorned the hems of their robes.
These were members of the Ghost Demon Sacred Sect, a once-mighty force now reduced to the
shadows.
Guo Ming took his seat, his demeanor suggesting he was on equal footing with the three.
“The Yue family’s situation is spiraling out of control,” he said gravely.
“The Northern Mountain Princess will arrive in Sky Blue City in a few days. It’s likely that an Immortal
King-level guardian will accompany her. Would it not be safer for you to lie low outside the city until
this matter blows over?”
Guo Ming’s concern was evident. As the City Lord of a region under the Northern Mountain Marquis’s
jurisdiction, the Princess’s arrival would undoubtedly bring scrutiny to the mansion.
One of the robed figures chuckled.
“No need for such precautions, Old Guo.”
“You may not be aware, but our Saintess will also be coming to Sky Blue City. Furthermore, the
Immortal King accompanying the Princess has long since sworn allegiance to her.”
“There’s nothing to fear.”
Guo Ming was stunned.
“The Saintess herself is coming to Sky Blue City?”
“That’s… astonishing! Should I make any preparations?”
His tone betrayed a mix of excitement and reverence.
The Saintess of the Ghost Demon Sacred Sect represented hope for its resurgence. Despite decades
of decline, the sect had managed to preserve its lineage, and the current 19th Saintess, Qian Xinrou,
was regarded as a figure of unprecedented potential.
She was hailed as the one who could lead the sect back to its former glory.
The robed figure waved dismissively.
“No need for elaborate preparations. The Saintess is merely inspecting the progress of this branch.”
“Understood,” Guo Ming replied, relief washing over him.
Meanwhile, in the Jiang Empire’s Void Palace
Jiang HuanYu sat by a serene lake in the imperial palace, fishing with several of his companions.
Nearby, his children—Jiang Jiuyou, Jiang Qinghan, Jiang Xingyun, and others—were being guided in
their cultivation by Zhuge Kongming and Chonglou.
Jiang Jiuyou showed the fastest progress, already at the Immortal Third Heaven stage. His siblings
were at the First Heaven, while the eldest princess, Jiang Liyue, had reached the Second Heaven.
Jiang Liyue’s intelligence mirrored that of her mother, Qian Xinrou. Her sharp mind and commanding
presence made her a natural leader among the children, capable even of keeping Jiang Jiuyou in
check.
Despite being the most powerful among the siblings, Jiang Jiuyou had a deep respect and a ection
for his elder sister, forged during their early childhood.
Jiang HuanYu and his wives watched their children with pride, their laughter and joy echoing across
the lake.
Suddenly, Jiang HuanYu’s mind was interrupted by a notification.
[Ding!]
[Detected: A Daughter of Destiny is approaching Sky Blue City. Qian Xinrou, Saintess of the Ghost
Demon Sacred Sect, possesses a Destiny Score of 99, with immeasurable potential and the Yin-Yang
Five Elements Physique. She has the qualifications and destiny to ascend to the Immortal Emperor
Realm. The system recommends fostering a relationship with her.]
Jiang HuanYu paused, his fishing rod still in hand.
After a long time, another Daughter of Destiny had appeared, and her attributes were astonishing.
The Saintess of the Ghost Demon Sacred Sect, Qian Xinrou—just her name suggested beauty and
elegance.
What caught his attention the most, however, was her Destiny Score of 99, surpassing even Xiao
Qingli’s 95.
The Yin-Yang Five Elements Physique made her one of the rarest geniuses in existence, belonging to
the ranks of the Top Ten Supreme Divine Physiques.
This physique granted mastery over the five elements and the ability to manipulate Yin and Yang,
making her an unparalleled force once fully developed.
Jiang HuanYu’s thoughts turned to the unfolding events in Sky Blue City.
“Why would someone as extraordinary as Qian Xinrou come to a backwater city like this?”
He recalled the connection between the City Lord’s Mansion and the Ghost Demon Sacred Sect.
“It must be related to the sect’s branch here,” he reasoned.
However, another thought struck him.
The Northern Mountain Princess was also en route to Sky Blue City.
And now, the system had alerted him that the Saintess was heading there as well.
“Could they… be traveling together?” Jiang HuanYu mused, his expression turning contemplative.
“Your Majesty, what are you thinking about so intently?” a soft voice asked
