Two days later in the capital, the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party arrived outside the Princess Manor on their horses. The Princess Manor wasn’t an ordinary manor. It was a few hundred miles in radius, decorated with an endless mountain range. The mountain range was also gathering the spiritual energy in the surrounding. There was also a huge lake that made a perfect scene, with peach and willow trees decorating the shores.
Lin Yun was shocked by the scene he saw. The Sword Firmament Pavilion was majestic in his opinion, but it was lacking compared to the PRincess Manor. But the spiritual energy here was naturally incomparable to the Sword Firmament Pavilion. But Lin Yun had widened his horizon based on what he saw.
“An island in the lake, and so many buildings. The princess isn’t simple,” commented Lin Yun.
“That’s for sure. The princess has a noble status, and she’s not any inferior to the crown prince. Otherwise, her birthday wouldn’t have shaken the entire empire that even the four sects would participate,” smiled Tang Tong as he appreciated the surrounding scenery.
“Oh?” Lin Yun was curious. “Can it be that there’s a story about this princess?”
“Senior Brother Tang, you must be knowledgeable. Why don’t you tell us about it?” Wang Zheng and Ding Yan also turned to look at Tang Tong.
“It’s not a secret. I only got to know about it since I’m born in the capital.” Tang Tong coughed. He then smiled embarrassedly, “I heard that the princess is a genius in the royal family. She was taken as a disciple at a very young age, and the sect she belonged to is extremely mysterious that not even the royal clan dares to offend. There are even rumors that the emperor might pass her the throne. But it’s a pity…”
“What’s wrong? Stop keeping us in suspense!” Wang Zheng cursed.
“There’s a problem with the princess’ body that even the imperial physicians are helpless. Then, she gradually disappeared from everyone’s eyes and rarely made an appearance,” smiled Tang Tong.
“Not even the royal clan can do something about it?” Wang Zhong and Ding Yan exchanged a glance with shock.
“But I heard that the princess is the prettiest woman in the Great Qin Empire. Senior Brother Tang, have you seen her appearance?” The two asked.
“It should be true, but she rarely shows her face. She’ll mask herself even when she goes out,” said Tang Tong.
“Cut it out.” Luo Feng turned around, and he glared at Tang Tong, “Trouble comes from the mouth. We’re already at the Princess Manor, so watch what you’re saying.”
“Yes. I’m sorry about that.” Tang Tong smiled.
Xin Yan turned around, and she looked at Lin Yun, “Junior Brother Lin, I’ve seen the princess’ appearance before.”
“You’ve seen it before?”
“I did. It’s true that she’s the prettiest in the Great Qin Empire.”
“How is she compared to you?” Lin Yun didn’t believe that.
Xin Yan blushed. Her eyes rolled around before she smiled, “Junior Brother, your mouth is becoming more sweet. But it’s true that the princess is more beautiful than me.”
Right at this moment, a butler came out with several maids. He cupped his hands together, “I’m sorry to keep you guests from the Sword Firmament Pavilion waiting. I apologize for that.”
His aura was powerful, and he should have a rather high position in the Princess Manor. Then again, that makes sense. After all, the four sects were coming, and they were stronger than the aristocratic clans. So the one to receive them must have some weight or it would be rude.
Luo Feng returned the greeting with a smile. But just when he was about to speak, a heavy rumble rang out. Horses galloping on the ground could be heard with a faint pressure spread out. Luo Feng’s face changed and he turned around to see the Primal Origin Sect’s arrival.
The one leading the Primal Origin Sect grinned, “Elder Luo, it has been a long time. I wonder if you’ve recovered from my palm three years ago?”
Luo Feng had anger on his face. This middle-aged man was Wen Yanbo, a core elder in the Primal Origin Sect. The enmity between the two sects ran way back. So the elders and disciples between the two sects were affected to a certain extent.
Three years ago, Luo Feng once fought with Wen Yanbo in the Extermination Mountain Range. They were evenly matched. Wen Yuwu took a sword from him back then, and he also took a palm. But Wen Yuwu had the Dracophant Battle Physique, and his injuries recovered quickly.
On the other hand, it took Luo Feng two years to recover from the injuries left by the palm. He spoke out coldly, “I don’t need Elder Wen to care about that. I have long recovered.”
“Is that so? It looks like Elder Luo made some progress in your cultivation. Let’s spar again sometime.” Wen Yanbo provoked.
“You think I’ll be afraid of you?” Luo Feng snorted. The two of them were in the Violet Palace Realm. They usually enjoyed a high position, and it was surprising that they fought the instant they met. When the spectators saw the two of them, they instantly understood what was going on and continued to watch with a playful gaze.
It seems that the enmity between the two sects was real, and they even dared to provoke each other in the Princess Manor.
The butler frowned, “Elders, do you really want to fight in the Princess Manor? This isn’t appropriate. After all, the princess’ birthday is tomorrow.”
“Then let’s talk about it tomorrow,” sneered Wen Yanbo. His gaze fell onto Lin Yun and he revealed a deep smile.
“Let’s go.” Luo Feng regained his composure and entered the manor following the maids. When Lin Yun turned around, his gaze clashed with Zuo Yun. The two nodded their heads at each other as a form of greeting. Due to the fact that they had different stances based on their sects, they couldn’t talk to each other.
It didn’t take long for them to be separated. They all received an individual room in the manor. Looking out at the lake, they could see many guests arriving. Aside from the four prestigious sects, everyone with fame in the Great Qin Empire had received the invitation.
“How grand.”
“There’s no way the sect can be compared to it. After all, the princess has a significant position in the royal clan.”
“It has been five days since she last held a birthday banquet. So it’s natural that everyone will come.”
“Hehe, this birthday banquet will be interesting. Just a moment ago, the elders of the Sword Firmament Pavilion and Primal Origin Sect nearly fought.”
“Are you serious? It looks like there will be a great show tomorrow. It will naturally be interesting when the four prestigious sects and the Heavenly Qin Institute comes together.” Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts when he heard about it. It looked like the princess was more influential than he had imagined.
Right at this moment, a group walked over. Their aura was drawn into their bodies, and they were all above the sixth stage of the Profound Martial Realm. There was a youth with defined features as he held onto a fan looking elegant.
He didn’t say a word in the group, but he was treated as the center of the party. Everyone was pale compared to him, and you could tell that he was someone important with just a glance. Even Lin Yun was surprised when he saw him.
“Young Master Lin, we’re arriving at your residence,” smiled the maid as she bowed.
“Okay. Thank you.” Lin Yun recovered from the shock.
A moment later, the youth among the group who left suddenly frowned and stopped his footsteps. He folded the fan in his hand and looked back at Lin Yun’s back figure disappearing into the courtyard.
Situ Yi recognized Lin Yun as the youth he met back in the Azure Sun Realm. At that time, this youth disregarded his death and rescued Yue Weiwei from Bai Lixuan by jumping into the Yin Wind Stream.
He never expected that this youth would survive the Yin Wind Stream and even joined the Sword Firmament Pavilion. Didn’t he know that Bai Lixuan was also from the Sword Firmament Pavilion? But Situ Yi wouldn’t be shocked if that was all. He was shocked by the fact that Tianming’s cultivation reached the sixth stage of the Profound Martial Realm from the Xiantian Realm in just one year.
Furthermore, the temperament emitting from Lin Yun was also different. Situ Yi could sense the immense sword intent contained in that body.
Situ Yi looked at Lin Yun’s back figure and smiled. He was looking forward to seeing how Bai Lixuan would react when he comes out of seclusion. He bet that Bai Lixuan’s reaction would be interesting. Situ Yi felt that the trip to this birthday banquet was worthed it.
“Junior Brother Situ, you know this person?” The female disciple was surprised. She rarely saw Situ Yi revealing shock on his face. Everyone from the Demonic Moon Villa looked at Situ Yi curiously. After all, it was rare for this genius to lose his composure.
“I don’t,” smiled Situ Yi, opening up his fan.
