“Jade Court.”
One of the four Saint Sovereigns carrying the palanquin spoke calmly.
As those words fell, everyone present was instantly subdued.
The power of Jade Court was not limited to Grand Desolate Heaven. Even across the entire Upper Heavens, there were very few who dared provoke them.
Jade Court was located atop Sacred Mountain.
It was governed by the Queen Mother.
It was said that Jade Court’s history was among the oldest in the Upper Heavens.
Among the Nine Heavens, the most ancient era was the age when the Ancient Gods sought the Dao.
And among those Ancient Gods, there was one, the Ice God Xuanming, who was the founding ancestor of Jade Court.
From this alone, one could see just how profound Jade Court’s heritage truly was.
It was a force that had existed since the era of the Ancient Gods seeking the Dao.
Over the years, Jade Court had experienced ups and downs, times of peak glory, and even periods when it sealed itself away.
But the Jade Court of today was still an enormous colossus.
Even the Heavenly Court would hesitate when encountering Jade Court.
At this moment, when the Sect Master and ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate heard this name, their bodies trembled.
They hurriedly said, “Esteemed lords of Jade Court, you’ve traveled far. What may we do for you?”
“I am here precisely because of your Thousand Sovereign Gate,” a cold voice suddenly came from inside the palanquin.
The curtain was lifted, and a figure slowly stepped out.
It was a woman.
A woman dressed in white, surrounded by ethereal immortal aura.
She looked like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world.
No, she herself was a fairy, possessing a suffocating charm.
An oval face, skin like snow, flawless and delicate.
Her expression was frosty, and her eyes radiated chilling cold.
Her long hair was pure white, bound by a floral circlet.
Crystal earrings hung from her ears.
The moment she stepped out, the surrounding space fell into complete silence.
“Greetings, Holy Maiden,” the four Saint Sovereigns all dropped to one knee and called out respectfully.
The Holy Maiden of Jade Court was destined to inherit the position of the Queen Mother.
She was the future master of Jade Court.
“Greetings, Holy Maiden of Jade Court,” the Sect Master and ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate also hurriedly bowed.
But at that moment, an abrupt cry rang out nearby.
“You… you… how could you be the Holy Maiden of Jade Court?!”
Everyone turned to look and saw that the speaker was none other than Zhu Sheng, the Holy Son of Thousand Sovereign Gate.
Seeing this, the Sect Master frowned and immediately scolded, “Sheng’er, apologize at once. Do not be rude.”
“Father, it’s over. I’m finished,” Zhu Sheng said in panic.
He looked as if he were about to cry and shouted, “Something’s wrong!”
“What happened?” Zhu Changque, the Sect Master of Thousand Sovereign Gate, froze, sensing something was amiss.
“The woman I harassed before was her!” Zhu Sheng shouted.
Beside them, Ji Zhan looked at Xu Zimo excitedly and said, “The woman my master saved was her. I never imagined she was actually the Holy Maiden of Jade Court.”
Xu Zimo, however, remained calm as he looked at the woman.
She truly was beautiful.
Even among all the beauties he had seen, she ranked among the very top.
Xu Zimo turned to Ji Zhan and chuckled, “I think I know why your master acted so righteously.”
“Why?” Ji Zhan asked, still confused.
“Lin Ruhu wanted to find you a master’s wife,” Xu Zimo said with a grin.
So Lin Ruhu, you thick-browed fellow, were also moved by her beauty!
Xu Zimo thought that when they met again, he would definitely tease Lin Ruhu properly.
But when he thought of Lin Ruhu’s current situation, he fell silent.
“When will the Three Corpse Burial Ground open?” Xu Zimo asked.
“Probably in about a year. Once it opens, news will definitely spread,” Ji Zhan replied.
Xu Zimo nodded.
He turned his gaze back to the sky, curious to see how Thousand Sovereign Gate would handle this.
Hearing Zhu Sheng’s words, Zhu Changque’s face changed drastically.
But his reaction was extremely fast.
He kicked Zhu Sheng to the ground and shouted, “I have no such son!”
Then he turned toward the Holy Maiden of Jade Court and said urgently, “Holy Maiden, this matter is due to my failure in teaching my son. Today, I bind this unfilial child and present him before you. Dispose of him as you see fit.”
Zhu Changque was ruthless.
Seeing the situation, he immediately suppressed Zhu Sheng, hoping to atone for the offense this way.
He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, not only Zhu Sheng, but the entire Thousand Sovereign Gate could be wiped out.
He believed Jade Court had the power to do so.
Yet the Holy Maiden of Jade Court remained calm.
Her name was Ye Qingcheng.
Earlier, due to certain circumstances, she had been separated from her people and wandered alone in Grand Desolate Heaven.
Had it not been for that man’s rescue, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At the time, her cultivation had been at a critical stage, and she was unable to use her full strength.
Ye Qingcheng said calmly, “There is no need to say more. Today, Thousand Sovereign Gate must be destroyed.”
Hearing this, Zhu Changque’s face turned pale.
He hurriedly said, “Holy Maiden, is there truly no room for reconciliation?”
“If Zhu Sheng was able to act so recklessly, it’s because you, his father, were backing him,” Ye Qingcheng replied indifferently.
“If you don’t uproot the weeds, they’ll grow again in spring. Today, I will destroy your Thousand Sovereign Gate. Perhaps countless people will thank me for it.”
She continued calmly, “Before coming here, the cultivators of Jade Court had already gone to Thousand Sovereign Gate. If nothing unexpected happened, Thousand Sovereign Gate should now be nothing but ruins. I came here personally today to kill you all.”
“In that case, die!” Zhu Changque roared.
In an instant, he charged toward Ye Qingcheng.
He wanted to take her hostage.
This was their only remaining path to survival.
Ye Qingcheng seemed to have anticipated this. She stood calmly, without panic.
Only when Zhu Changque drew near did the four elderly Saint Sovereigns carrying the palanquin step forward.
Each of the four cultivated one of the Four Sacred Beasts.
The Azure Dragon roared, the White Tiger bellowed, the Vermilion Bird split the heavens, and the Black Tortoise stirred towering waves.
Each of them threw a single punch, producing such terrifying phenomena.
With a thunderous boom, one punch blasted Zhu Changque apart, his body exploding into nothingness.
“You’ve gone too far,” the only remaining elder of Thousand Sovereign Gate roared in fury.
He was an Infinite Dao cultivator of Thousand Sovereign Gate.
His powerful aura surged outward, faintly suppressing the entire sky.
“You must die as well,” Ye Qingcheng said coldly.
She waved her hand and said lightly, “Ancient Heaven Dao Lord, I’ll leave this to you.”
“Of course,” an aged voice replied from the void nearby.
Immediately after, a massive hand tore through space and appeared silently before Ye Qingcheng.
He was an Infinite Dao cultivator from Jade Court.
“Kill!” the ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate roared, grabbing forward with one hand.
“You are not worthy,” the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord of Jade Court snorted coldly.
He curled his fingers slightly, and an enormous cage descended from above, sealing heaven and earth, trapping the ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate inside.
“Today, I kill you to display the might of Jade Court. Not just anyone may bully us.”
