Chapter 1499: Ouyang Jinwei

Li Shiran, like a fairy from the blue waves, gently pulled Situ Muyang’s sleeve with her jade-like hand. With a light and graceful step, she stepped into a multitude of ice crystals that filled the sky.

"Ding!"

Standing on one ice crystal, it melted into countless crystal dots, and the next moment, Li Shiran and Situ Muyang appeared directly on the next ice crystal!

"What a strange and fast movement!" Situ Muyang muttered to himself, even more surprised that he couldn’t feel Li Shiran’s energy.

If Situ Muyang had seen it from outside, he would have been even more frightened. The three of them seemed to disappear in place, without any light, only dissipating like a flickering candle flame.

As the ripples of space fluctuated, Situ Muyang quickly moved dozens of yards away from the Mountain God Temple in a few breaths.

Without any sign of energy leakage, solely relying on the power of their souls, this kind of movement technique was invincible in close combat.

Li Shiran retracted the ice crystal path, and Situ Muyang stepped out of Li Shiran’s space. He looked around at the deep misty forest, towering ancient trees, the swirling of stars in the sky, and the vastness of the heavens and the earth. His eyes were full of astonishment, as if he was looking at gods as he gazed at Li Shiran and Achu.

"Phew! Is this your family’s movement technique? It’s amazing!"

"Haha!"

Seeing Situ Muyang’s amazed expression, Li Shiran covered his face and laughed happily, saying, "Master Situ, this movement technique is extremely useful for short-range combat and hiding. So we don’t have to be afraid of Sacred Mountain’s pursuit!"

Situ Muyang’s excitement was evident. Now they could safely return. His eyes gleamed in the darkness, saying, "That’s great! Let’s go to the Divine Sword School!"

Central Region – the city

On a moonlit night, a thin mist enveloped the majestic City Master’s residence, with its intricate arches and grandiosity.

The buildings stretched on endlessly, and inside the City Master’s residence, everything remained as magnificent as ever. The grand hall was adorned with a breathtaking landscape painting.

Inside the residence, a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties, exuded an air of authority. He was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful robe that showcased his well-trained muscles. It was none other than Ouyang Yuanfeng, the City Master of Central Region, who Su Yi had previously met.

Kneeling before him was the East Gate Chief Guard, a tall and devout man, trembling as he reported the tragic incident that had occurred at the east gate to the City Master.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yuanfeng’s expression subtly changed, and a hint of gloom shadowed his eyes. He asked in a calm voice,

"Have you found any clues?"

The East Gate Chief Guard, filled with fear, bowed with both hands and said, "I have sent men to search within the city of Central Region, but we have yet to receive any news. We have increased the number of search parties and expanded the scope. I believe we will find the culprit before daybreak!"

"Bang!"

"Garbage!"

Ouyang Yuanfeng immediately frowned, shooting out a beam of energy from his hand, hitting the East Gate Chief Guard with tremendous force, creating ripples of energy within the City Master’s residence!

Only seeing the burly East Gate Chief Guard rolling on the ground several times before stopping, his chest heaving, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Let me tell you, tomorrow is the big day when the Fifth Saint Child arrives in the city. If you dare to cause even the slightest disturbance, I will make sure you die! Go and investigate quickly!"

The East Gate Chief Guard quickly adjusted his hat on his head, not daring to make eye contact with Ouyang Yuanfeng, tremblingly saying, "I know my mistake, I will immediately arrest the culprit!" After speaking, he scurried away as if escaping for his life.

Ouyang Yuanfeng’s gaze turned cold, standing up suddenly, surging with energy, his aura intimidating. His brows furrowed tighter as he looked at the moon in the sky, filled with worry.

"Please don’t let it be Su Yi!" Ouyang Yuanfeng murmured.

Ever since the last Saint Martial Assembly, Su Yi had turned the entire Central Region upside down, causing Ouyang Yuanfeng, as the City Master of the Central Region, to be mocked and insulted by the people of Sacred Mountain. The resources supplied were reduced by a fifth, while the offerings to Sacred Mountain increased by a whopping two-fifths!

If it weren’t for Lady Kuang Guilan’s influence in Sacred Mountain, even as a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain, Ouyang Yuanfeng wouldn’t be able to escape severe punishment.

For over a whole year, no one has come to Sacred Mountain, and now Fifth Saint Child is coming to the city. This is the best chance to rebuild their reputation, and they cannot afford to fail this test.

While contemplating, three women walked gracefully from the courtyard entrance. Among them was a middle-aged woman, around forty years old, with narrow eyes that hinted at a touch of sharpness. It was Kuang Guilan, a person from the City Master’s residence.

The middle-aged woman was holding onto a young girl in her early twenties tightly, constantly talking to her. The girl’s name was Ouyang Jinwei, the eldest daughter of the City Master, and a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain.

On the right side was another woman, Li Ling, a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain who had just met Liu Ruoxi. Li Ling looked at Kuang Guilan and spoke incessantly, smiling silently.

Ouyang Jinwei, with her fair and cold skin, had a proud and cool temperament. She turned her head slightly to talk and laugh with Li Ling, completely ignoring Kuang Guilan. Kuang Guilan raised her eyebrows, seeming a bit afraid of her own daughter.

Just at that moment, the Chief Guard of the East Gate ran out of the main hall with his face covered. When he saw the lady and the young miss, he awkwardly made a bow and swiftly ran downstairs.

Ouyang Jinwei and her group eventually arrived in the main hall. Ouyang Jinwei looked at Ouyang Yuanfeng, who was usually gentle and courteous, with confusion and softly asked, "Father, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Ouyang Yuanfeng’s eyes were filled with coldness as he snorted heavily with his nose. He glanced at his wife, Ouyang Jinwei, and sighed softly, then proceeded to tell Ouyang Jinwei about what happened north of the city that evening.

Ouyang Yuanfeng’s eyes filled with coldness, and he sniffed heavily, glancing at his wife and Ouyang Jinwei. With a sigh, he recounted what had happened in the north of the city that night to Ouyang Jinwei.

"What!"

Ouyang Jinwei suddenly raised her voice, her eyes full of disdain and anger. She clenched her teeth and said, "Alright then! Watching my City Master’s Mansion suffer, thinking that the Ouyang family is powerless!"

Li Ling and Kuang Guilan, who were on the side, also frowned. Kuang Guilan had been quietly listening and suddenly spoke up, saying, "Could it be that scoundrel Su Yi has come back again!"

Ouyang Jinwei felt as if she had been reminded. Because of her bet with Su Yi, she had lost face.

The Saint Martial Assembly also defeated her admired Nanan Ruyu. She had been holding onto this grudge for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed, "Give him a hundred times the courage! Last time, wasn’t he protected by the Yutian Palace? He won’t be able to escape the Central Region city!"

Li Ling’s expression, however, didn’t show any trace. She was well aware of the news about Su Yi in the Chaos Realm and the upcoming Sky Wind Ranked Battle.

The fact that her Martial Sister Liu Ruoxi was always thinking about Su Yi made her realize even more that Su Yi was not an ordinary person. Ouyang Yuanfeng, who was standing by the window, was much calmer at the moment.
