Wei Wuyin's own gaze was also drawn over nearly against his will. As a man, he appreciated the beauty of women to the utmost, and when they gathered, it was like the world's most dazzling and fragrant flowers were blooming. A flash of appreciation and admiration entered his eyes.
Amongst these five beauties that accompanied Wei Wuyin, despite their eye-catching appearances, their bearings, auras, cultivation, and air was at an exceptional level.
One of them was the renowned, legendary, and exquisite Wu Baozhai, one of the top three beauties of the Wu Country, and Princess of the Wu Country, soon to dominate the entire continent. Her bearing was of the utmost unique and notable, containing an innate authority and imperial demeanor. Each step she took had a stride reminiscent to an empress moving across the world. It felt like even the earth beneath her feet was bowing in submission.
She was dressed in a blue and gold silk dress that fitted her form, outlining her curves and exquisite assets. Her ample breasts that towered proudly upon her chest were tantalizing. Truly mounds of flesh that were worthy of pride. Supported by her bottle-like figure and perky buttocks.
Her facial features were exceptional, nearly perfectly placed. Especially those crystal clear yet fierce eyes and peach lips. She was a woman, and what a woman.
She was merely one. The others weren't lacking in terms of looks. With Lin Xiyan and Ming Shufeng being among them, how could they?
"Is that Lian Yu?" Wei Wuyin's eyes fixated onto a delicate yet voluptuous figure. Her chest was as ample as Wu Baozhai's, if not greater by a tiny bit. Each strand of her hair and her pupils were like sapphires, dazzling and gorgeous. Her limpid eyes tha ly were like gems rippled with faint water-like waves intermittently. It gave her an endlessly vast and serene feeling.
This was Lian Yaling's, the Sect Leader of the Aqua Echo Sect, descendant, and one of the top three beauties of Wu Country! To see two of them side by side was a feast for the eyes of any man or woman that appreciated or lusted after beauty.
Wei Wuyin couldn't help but feel a wisp of envy in his heart, a wisp that formulated in every hot-blooded males heart! Furthermore, Lin Ziyan and Ming Shufeng's appearances didn't lose out to these top beauties! But what was even worse, WHAT WAS EVEN WORSE, was that there was yet another one and this was faintly better than the other four!
Just as he swept his gaze over this last beauty beside Long Chen, his eyes froze. They widened slightly.
It wasn't just Wei Wuyin that reacted in this manner. Su Mei also looked. She couldn't help but curiously say, "Lord Wei, doesn't she look familiar?"
As if those words triggered an alarm, that last woman turned her bright, gorgeous grey eyes over to the two of them. Then, her gaze similarly froze.
Wei Wuyin and her gaze locked together for what seemed like eternity yet lasted for but the briefest of moments. A spark formulated between that seemed to sweep through the ages, a past air and karmic ties connecting them undoubtedly and mysteriously.
The memories of what happened in the days of yesteryear was funneling through their sea of consciousness simultaneously. If there were gods who could peer into the minds of both of them, they would observe a nearly synched version of memories from both of their respective perspectives.
It was miraculous.
Su Mei collected her memories and made a brief comparison. Could it be?
Years ago, when Wei Wuyin was a Core Disciple hunting down the Violet Moon Sect, Su Mei was in the middle of assigning the captives their secured locations and eventual designation. There were only two fates for a female captive, that was to be sent back to the sect to be sold or to be used to help alleviate the stress of the members within one's command.
Either way, their lives were no longer theirs. And she had no pity for these women, regardless of their circumstances because that was how the world they worked in functioned. If they wanted to blame someone, blame their own luck, their own weakness, the heavens, or themselves. It was a cruel world out there, and to live in it, one must be willing to accept that.
At the time, there was a dull-eyed grey woman that couldn't be considered pretty, but wasn't ugly either. Since she was of this indeterminate state, she had assigned her to be used as a reward for the male members of their unit. But, Wei Wuyin waltzed by and noticed something special about this particular woman whose cultivation, looks, and even will was severely lacking.
She had a unique air about her. He pulled her away and later released her. Su Mei didn't know all the details, no one did, but no one questioned him. Who would dare?
Her name…
She said her name was…
Na Xinyi!
"YOU!!!" A shriek that shot to the heavens in volume erupted mercilessly, startling everyone. They turned their gazes to see one of Long Chen's beautiful women with gnashing teeth, widened eyes, and clenched fists. She seemed to radiate a baleful aura and killing intent. It was potent beyond belief!
Wei Wuyin sighed in his heart. Long Chen had once mentioned Na Xinyi to him. In fact, it was in their first real encounter. It was this name that made him contemplate over and over, but his guilt and feelings towards what happened was non-existent.
That day, when he discovered her unique Three-Point Yin Physique, a physique that contained three complete sets of Primal Yin, and brimmed with yin energies, he had a mere feeling due to an ancient record he read about strange physiques. The yin energies of those with this type of physique were amplified and multiplied by the number of sets of primal yin they had.
So, if they had three, then their yin energies were three times more purer, thicker, and powerful.
It was his gateway to swiftly assailing and ascending into the Yin Form Phase of the Qi Condensation Realm. This realm was notoriously difficult for men to ascend, but it was due to this that he had become a twenty-six year old expert that could rival core elders. It was because of this that he survived two assassination attempts on his life by Jiu Lang!
Now, Na Xinyi had not only seemingly survived that incident, but thrived. Her cultivation base was at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, Sublime Qi Phase, and her aura was transcendent and ethereal with a touch of iciness.
Furthermore, her looks were completely different.
What was originally a flat chest was now bountiful and full. What was originally a flat ass was now perky and round. What was originally a pair of dull-colored grey eyes were now brilliant and attractive. What was originally short light-brown hair was now long and beautifully flowing like a cascading waterfall. Her pink lips were now full, her eyebrows thin, her skin was like caramelized jade. It was warm, rich, golden, and buttery brown, drastically setting her apart from others.
With her Yin Physique fully awakened, her changes were truly transformative that even Su Mei, whose ability to recognize faces were exceptionally inhuman, had nearly mistook her for someone else.
The four other beauties and Long Chen all followed Na Xinyi's venomous glare and met Wei Wuyin, who sat comfortably while leaning against Bai Lin's huge body.
Ming Shufeng's eyes were a little different from the indifference and faint curiosity in the others' as she saw Wei Wuyin. Three months ago, this madman kidnapped and forced her to repeat the details of Hell over and over again. This startled her. In truth, she felt that he was doing this so that when he killed her, her last moments would be knowing that she'll experience Hell. While it wasn't likely, it deeply terrified her to the point she used a rare life-saving item.
Luckily, she escaped before he could do anything. If anything, she just wanted to stay far away from this man. Despite his unearthly handsome appearance, he seemed unstable. When she learned how he played Wu Jiao, an Astral Core Realm expert to escape with her, her heart throbbed with fear. Not only was he crazy but intelligent too! These were the worst qualities a man could possess!
As for Long Chen, he was conflicted. His gaze was filled with turmoil and uselessness. He had promised Na Xinyi that he could take Wei Wuyin's life for her, but not only was he incapable of saving those that fought beside him, he was similarly incapable of killing Wei Wuyin.
At least, not now. He had learned from Prince Chen that, from his brother, Prince Zhen, Wei Wuyin had killed Hu Jiwei, a Godking in a single strike at the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation. He slaughtered a Godking mercilessly with outstanding ease!
He had barely achieved victory after forming his sword and slaughter intent! While he felt he might be able to win against Wei Wuyin now, the situation was not favorable to engage in a life and death battle. He truly felt useless. With clenched fists, all he could do was look on as Wei Wuyin leisurely enjoyed breathing.
Touching his ring, he wished nothing more for it to be repaired to a sufficient level of power so that he could slaughter his enemies. The killing intent in him was immeasurable!
Wei Wuyin was keenly sensitive to intents, especially killing intent and albeit Na Xinyi was raging with negative emotions, Long Chen's desire to kill hadn't escaped his notice. It was this same intent formed when they met for the first time. He inwardly shook his head.
Long Chen wasn't a priority to him. Not now, likely not ever. He felt utterly no need to try to kill him. And while he had amassed a glimmer of killing intent before, he realized that he didn't want to hurt Qing Qiumu. Why? He wasn't sure. They had merely spent a few hours together.
But it was enough to not slaughter someone she cared about.
Moreover, he truly had other priorities.
"I'll kill you!" Na Xinyi could no longer contain herself as she roared, her aura rising rapidly causing various images of ethereal white lotuses to bloom in the surroundings. Each lotus seemed to contain a strange spiritual strength. Her cultivation base at the sublime qi phase was being fully displayed, and her qi was Yin Qi!
It was chilly and dark, yet ethereal and attractive to all yang-possessing men.
She charged forward before anyone could react.
Su Mei's eyes lifted and fixated on Na Xinyi. She calmly rose and withdrew Darklight God Saber. Its obsidian source glimmered with black-colored light. She flipped the saber and the Darklight energies flitting across it intensified.
