In this world, where men are inherently superior to women, the ability to establish such an Overriding Power demonstrates the high caliber of the Grand Elder of Xuanhuang County.
Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven were led by this woman to the front of the palace.
"Alright, I can only bring you two this far. Grandmaster is inside, so I won't escort you further. You may enter on your own."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left without hesitation, while Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven glanced at the grand gate before them, then stepped inside.
Within the palace, a woman, dressed in a long, cyan-green gown, with a hairpin in her hair, and a countenance like a Heavenly Fairy, stood before them, holding a book and reading its contents.
From a distance, she appeared incredibly captivating.
Not to mention the Aura emanating from the woman, which was simply irresistible.
"Sit."
Before Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven had even stood firm, the woman said without lifting her head.
The next moment, a bench appeared out of thin air beside Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven. The two sat on the bench, looking at the woman before them.
"I already know the purpose of your visit. What I want to know is, what benefit does it bring to my Xuanhuang County?"
The woman put down the book in her hand and looked at Stealing Heaven and Ye Lin with eyes that seemed capable of seeing through one's Soul.
Under those eyes, Ye Lin felt as if everything about him had been seen through.
"I can guarantee that your Xuanhuang County will continue to endure."
Ye Lin's expression was calm as he said in a deep voice.
"Oh? I wouldn't even dare to say that. Time washes away all traces. Isn't it a bit too arrogant for you to say such a thing?"
The woman looked into Ye Lin's eyes and spoke.
She was a Combined Dao Stage True Lord; even she wouldn't dare to say such a thing. She didn't understand why Ye Lin had such confidence.
Although she couldn't discern Ye Lin's cultivation, he must have some treasure that could conceal it, but Ye Lin's cultivation was certainly no higher than Soul Transformation Peak.
What confidence could a Nascent Soul Realm True Person have to ensure the continued existence of an Overriding Power like Xuanhuang County?
As time passes, everything in the future is uncertain. No one knows what will happen, not even a Combined Dao Stage True Lord dares to be so confident.
So, where did Ye Lin's confidence come from?
"I can guarantee that I am the only one you can trust right now. The moment I stepped into Xuanhuang County, the outcome was already decided, wasn't it?"
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and her entire Aura burst forth. Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven both bent at the waist, and the benches beneath their buttocks turned to dust.
Ye Lin's face was flushed red. At this moment, he felt as if he was carrying a massive mountain on his back, pressing down on him so hard that he could barely breathe.
"This Junior does not dare, but Senior, every word this Junior speaks is true. I am the only one you can trust right now."
Ye Lin knelt on one knee. The pressure from this Combined Dao Stage True Lord was simply too immense. If the He Dao Stage pressure was compared to a vast ocean, then he was a small boat upon that vast ocean, capable of being submerged at any moment.
The next moment, that overwhelming pressure instantly vanished, and Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven felt their bodies lighten.
Stealing Heaven, completely disregarding his image, plopped down onto the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Senior, I'm only at the Nascent Soul Stage Peak! Please go easy on me! You almost killed me just now."
Stealing Heaven complained to the woman.
"It's good for you to lose some weight."
The woman glared at Stealing Heaven, then a terrifying vortex appeared in her eyes, staring intently at Ye Lin. In that instant, Ye Lin felt as if his Soul was almost sucked out.
