It turned out that the maiden was precisely Luo Yunxi, who had previously accepted the inheritance of the Supreme Being of Taiyin in the Taiyin Secret Realm.
After accepting the inheritance, Luo Yunxi, under the arrangement of the Spirit of the Stone Tablet, became the leader of the Taiyin Alliance.
This trip to the Xuan Domain in the Central Continent was also arranged by the Spirit of the Stone Tablet.
"Taiyin Alliance Leader?" Cheng Wang's eyes were filled with confusion. Did this force exist in the Central Continent?
"Boom!!!"
Before Cheng Wang's thoughts could settle, a terrifying Taiyin power once again appeared in Luo Yunxi's hand, directly annihilating Cheng Wang.
The numerous cultivators behind Luo Yunxi showed no reaction, as if this outcome had been anticipated long ago.
The entire forest became silent.
Only the sound of surging hot air waves could be heard.
"Elder Shen, let's continue our journey!" Luo Yunxi slowly turned and continued to walk forward.
Beside Luo Yunxi, the man in the light-colored robe nodded and followed her forward.
This man in the light-colored robe was Shen Wulian, an elder of the Taiyin Alliance.
The group continued to move forward.
Brother Jiang Li, I will come to the Shimo Sect to find you once I finish handling matters here!
Luo Yunxi murmured inwardly, a deep longing flashing in her eyes.
...
Tianyuan City.
City Lord's Mansion.
An exquisite and elegant room.
The room was adorned with many luxurious and precious decorations.
Various spiritual herbs were placed everywhere, emitting a rich fragrance.
"Damn it, that guy escaped again, ah, I'm so angry, so angry! I didn't get the Jiuchu Spirit Ginseng, and that little demon escaped. Why am I so unlucky..." On the bed in the room, a slender and stunning woman said angrily.
The woman's chest heaved violently, appearing incredibly voluptuous.
It was evident she was truly furious.
"Miss, we have identified who obstructed us. It was people from the Eighth Prince's faction!" Shortly after, a beautiful maid pushed the door open and entered.
Upon hearing the maid's words, the slender and stunning woman gritted her teeth even harder.
"I knew it! That Lin Jingyang... he gave treasures to that little demon and even covered its retreat... Next time I see Lin Jingyang, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!" Chen Lingyue then snorted coldly.
"Miss, you might not be able to defeat His Highness the Eighth Prince!" the maid beside her said.
A pleasant, refreshing scent permeated the room.
"Shui'er... you, you're bullying me too!" Chen Lingyue gritted her teeth.
The two then began to playfully tussle in the room, filling it with youthful and lively sounds.
"Knock, knock, knock!!!"
As the two were playing, a knock sounded at the room's door.
Chen Lingyue and Shui'er quickly tidied their clothes and let the person outside in.
"How is it? Have you found out anything?!" Chen Lingyue then asked the maid who had entered.
The maid who entered was Huo'er, another of Chen Lingyue's maids, responsible for intelligence matters.
"Reporting to Eldest Miss, Elder Lin of the Lin family is indeed engaged in some extremely dirty business in secret. He has already harmed thousands of young girls!" Huo'er's eyes were filled with anger, and she spoke indignantly.
Shui'er beside her also had a look of resentment in her eyes.
"That old bastard! I thought he was respected and virtuous, but I didn't expect him to be such a disgusting fellow. Immediately dispatch the City Lord's Mansion's Celestial Guards to thoroughly investigate the entire Lin family. If that old bastard is like this, the others are definitely no good either!" Chen Lingyue then said.
Huo'er nodded, she thought the same.
None of those from the Lin family would escape.
"By the way, the investigation into that little demon is complete. It turns out that little demon came from the Eastern Wasteland!" Huo'er said, as if remembering something.
Came from the Eastern Wasteland?
Chen Lingyue was stunned, clearly not expecting Jiang Li to be from the Eastern Wasteland.
"Then what about that little girl? Do you have any news about her?" Chen Lingyue took a deep breath and said.
She didn't pay much attention to where Jiang Li came from.
She couldn't forget that little girl. That little girl was too pitiful, and seeing her, Chen Lingyue couldn't help but want to protect her.
"According to my latest investigation, when that demon entered the Shimo Sect, he also brought a pure and beautiful little sister. That little sister is now being kept by him in the Xingding Palace, where she is fed delicious food every day and is being raised plump and fair..." Huo'er said.
Kept in the Xingding Palace, and being raised plump and fair...
This little demon doesn't seem so bad after all?
Chen Lingyue murmured softly.
Initially, she had prepared for that little girl to be killed by Jiang Li.
Unexpectedly, she heard such news.
Her heart immediately felt that Jiang Li was not as detestable.
Moreover, he actually looked quite like a good person.
It seemed she had misunderstood...
"Bah, bah, bah... He's from the Shimo Sect, he must be a little demon. Perhaps he's raising her to do something bad once she's grown!" Chen Lingyue then snorted coldly.
Huo'er and Shui'er beside her remained silent, only pursing their lips.
That little demon was so handsome, the little girl must be very happy.
'Miss, are we still going to target that little demon?' Shui'er asked, blinking her eyes.
Huo'er also stared intently at Chen Lingyue, awaiting her decision.
"Keep a close eye on that little demon. Tell me the moment he returns!" Chen Lingyue said.
She still didn't believe that Jiang Li would be so kind as to raise such a cute little girl so well. There must be some ulterior motive.
Chen Lingyue wanted to ask Jiang Li in person what exactly he intended to do.
...
Central Continent.
Xuan Domain.
Above the sky, not far from Lieyang Mountain.
A peerlessly handsome youth was flying forward with a group of cultivators.
"Young Master, Lieyang Mountain is ahead!" A tall young man beside the youth said slowly.
The youth was Jiang Li, and the young man beside him was Liu Xuan.
When Jiang Li was preparing to go to Lieyang Mountain, he had arranged for Liu Xuan to wait in the Xuan Domain.
He had asked Liu Xuan to first investigate the intelligence and related information of Lieyang Mountain.
"Did you just say that Lieyang Mountain has undergone subtle changes recently?" Jiang Li asked.
Liu Xuan nodded and slowly said, "I investigated near Lieyang Mountain for a period of time. The temperature of Lieyang Mountain seems to have undergone some abnormal changes recently!"
"Saint Son Jiang, that's right. Moreover, a few days ago, we heard that people from the Chaos Sacred Land appeared at Lieyang Mountain!" A middle-aged man among the three cultivators behind Liu Xuan said.
The other cultivators also nodded.
