One of my fairy-like friends

There was more than one Emperor-level invader from the outer realms. Those Emperors who died in battle were often those who fought to the death against multiple opponents in an attempt to eliminate all Emperor-level powerhouses, and that is why they perished in the end.

The current Supreme Emperor in the system is invincible. How could such an invincible emperor suddenly perish?

Mingyan was momentarily incredulous, but since his sister had shown herself and unleashed her imperial might, she was probably trying to stabilize the situation...

The Dark Turmoil is imminent, and the Emperor's fall will likely bring immense panic... Before the Dark Turmoil even arrives, they themselves will be in chaos...

Fortunately, he still had an older sister. Mingyan sighed inwardly, but it seemed that Empress Qingzi must have really encountered some trouble.

Mingyan came to his senses and found that Huang Qingfei had already left. Mingyan hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should go to Yaochi and ask his sister, who might know what was going on.

Mingyan waited for a while, and soon Huang Qingfei returned. She looked serious and said, "Mingyan, I'm afraid my sister will have to personally escort you back. The teleportation gate outside the Huang family is damaged."

"The portal is damaged?" Ming Yan raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right…” Huang Qingfei nodded. “I don’t know… I don’t know if it’s just our Huang family’s teleportation gate that’s broken, or if all the teleportation gates are broken… In the future, my sister will personally send you back to Fenglingyueying.”

Mingyan shook his head. "I want to go to Yaochi first."

"Do you want to go to Yaochi to ask about the situation?" Upon hearing this, Huang Qingfei quickly understood Mingyan's thoughts.

Mingyan nodded. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Although Huang Qingfei did not know about Wang Qingchu's existence, Yaochi herself had some subtle connections with Empress Qingzi, so Yaochi might know something.

Huang Qingfei thought for a moment and nodded. "I will tell my sister later. There are still a few teleportation gates along the way. If only the Huang family's teleportation gate is destroyed, it won't take too long to reach Yaochi. But if the other teleportation gates are also destroyed, then... it will probably take more than a month to get there."

“I understand.” Ming Yan nodded, his brows furrowed. How could the teleportation gate be damaged for no reason? What does this have to do with the fall of Empress Qingzi?

After Huang Qingfei finished speaking, she left quickly.

Not long after, Huang Junru appeared in the courtyard. She waved to Ming Yan and said, "Let's go."

Mingyan nodded, and then he saw Huang Junru wave her hand, and a carriage appeared. Huang Junru went in first, and Mingyan hesitated for a moment before following her in.

After he stepped inside, he felt the carriage lift into the air. Mingyan entered the carriage, where there were spatial laws. Mingyan remembered that when he first came in, the space inside was very large, but for some reason, the space had shrunk considerably this time.

It seems there are only two rooms left.

After Mingyan entered, he saw Huang Junru sitting on a wooden chair in the main hall with a cold expression. Upon seeing Mingyan enter, she said, "For some reason, the space inside the carriage has been affected."

Could this matter also be related to the fall of Empress Qingzi? Mingyan was also somewhat confused. He bowed and asked, "Could it be related to the destruction of the teleportation gate?"

"It's still unclear..." Huang Junru's voice was too cold, hard to get used to. She closed her eyes. "You should go back and rest first."

Mingyan agreed, since there were still two rooms available for him to stay in temporarily.

Mingyan returned to his room, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Those outsiders, after sensing the mournful cry of the Great Dao, suspected that Empress Qingzi had perished, but later her sister released her imperial might, which probably put many people at ease... but Mingyan could not be at ease.

He knew his sister's situation all too well. As long as he didn't come to greet her, his sister would remain in her current state, which couldn't be considered a normal adult body at all.

Even with extraordinary combat power, it's difficult to unleash its full potential.

The fall of Empress Qingzi cast a shadow over Mingyan's heart. If Empress Qingzi was truly dead, then the pressure would fall on his sister...

Although Mingyan would not allow himself to stand idly by, even if it meant letting his sister recover before the Dark Turmoil and facing those dangers... Mingyan sighed softly.

Humans, at their core, are selfish.

Mingyan didn't mind being at the forefront, but he didn't want his sister to be at the forefront either.

I have so many noble ideals in my heart, but when it comes to family affection, they become so insignificant. Perhaps I am just a hypocrite.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. As Ming Yan sat cross-legged in cultivation, a cold voice echoed in his mind, "It seems that, as I expected, not only is the Huang family's teleportation gate damaged, but other teleportation gates are also damaged and unable to teleport. The teleportation gates inside the Huang family have also lost their function... It is very likely that there is a problem with the laws of space. If that is the case, the other teleportation laws will probably also become useless."

Mingyan came to his senses and said, "That means it's become extremely inconvenient to go out now."

"That's about right... This will probably bring some changes... But after the Great Dao's lament, there was also the pervasive imperial might, so Empress Qingzi should be alright. As long as she's alive, these problems should be resolved." Huang Junru said, "...But, there are too many variables in this world, you need to improve your strength as soon as possible."

Huang Junru spoke as if she were an elder, and Ming Yan blinked, feeling quite pleased.

Chapter 163 Concern from Huang Junru

Mingyan drew back the curtains and looked outside.

Outside was a desolate wasteland, uninhabited, but one could see quite a few ferocious beasts.

Occasionally, one or two enormous birds of prey could be seen flying outside the window, but they all ignored the carriage. Mingyan found this strange; shouldn't they have avoided it? These ferocious beasts must have sensed a terrifying presence inside the carriage and should have given way immediately...

Mingyan thought for a moment and then concluded that Huang Junru had most likely hidden her whereabouts.

That's true. If the teleportation portal really stops working, and someone like her goes out to greet people, the Huang family will have fewer people to greet and oversee them... We do need to be more careful.

On the other hand, although Yaoguang Star is large, there are too many places that are not suitable for habitation.

Moreover, with the portal no longer functioning, this world will likely become quite inconvenient.

Let alone those low-level martial arts cultivators, even a cultivator like Huang Jun, who is at the Human Transcending Realm, will be greatly affected.

The damage to the portal and the fall of Empress Qingzi must have occurred simultaneously, and there must indeed be some connection between these two events.

Mingyan was having a bit of a headache; he knew he could only find the answers to many questions by seeing his sister.

This is bad. It takes about thirty days to get from the Huang family to Yaochi, and that's the time it takes for a cultivator like Huang Junru to reach the Nascent Soul stage. If it were him, who knows how long it would take to get from the Huang family to Yaochi, let alone from the much more distant Fengling Yueying...

It will probably be very troublesome to travel to and from Yaochi in the future.

I don't know how long it will be before I can see my sister again.

Mingyan sighed, composed himself, and immersed himself in cultivation.

Ten days passed quickly.

Mingyan opened his eyes and felt the vast imperial might once again. The imperial might was surging and even more magnificent than before, but the feeling of intimacy... there was no mistake, this time it was also the imperial might of his sister, Wang Qingchu.

The Great Human King Body is an existence that has stepped halfway into the Extreme Dao realm, which is the so-called alternative Dao attainment. It already possesses the aura of an emperor, and those who are not at the level of a Great Emperor cannot distinguish it at all. However, now that the Great Emperor Qingzi has disappeared, naturally no one can tell who this imperial aura comes from.

Soon, Mingyan received a telepathic message from Huang Junru: "It seems that Empress Qingzi is indeed alright. I was just overthinking it."

In reality, after sensing the fall of some supreme being, the Emperor's might swept over, but later dark clouds gathered again between heaven and earth, filled with a deep sense of sorrow, making it difficult to understand the situation. It would be a lie to say that one was not worried.

But more than ten days later, the powerful imperial might returned, which meant that the current Empress Qingzi, who ruled the world, was safe and sound, and could indeed rest assured.

Mingyan smiled, pursing his lips. "It's a good thing after all."

"Come out for a moment." Not long after, Huang Junru sent another telepathic message to Ming Yan. Upon hearing this, Ming Yan hesitated for a moment before leaving the room.

Huang Junru remained seated on the chair, dressed in a red palace gown, her eyes cold and aloof, her legs crossed. A glimpse of her fair and delicate skin could be seen through the gaps in her gown and the hem of the dress.

Mingyan bowed and asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I've noticed you haven't been in high spirits these past few days, as if something's troubling you. Don't hold back in front of me, just tell me." Huang Junru's expression was indifferent, her tone icy, yet tinged with a hint of concern...

Mingyan shook his head. "There's nothing to worry about."

Huang Junru's expression remained unchanged as she gave Ming Yan a deep look. "It seems you still don't trust me enough."

“Of course not…” Mingyan shook his head, but this matter was of great importance…

Mingyan hesitated. The Huang family naturally trusted him a lot, even letting him live in the inner courtyard, which undoubtedly revealed their closeness beyond trust. They even told him about internal family affairs such as the Phoenix Blood Pool. To put it bluntly, they basically treated him as a member of the Huang family.

Actually, if it weren't for Huang Feiyan's own reasons, not wanting to taint her relationship with Mingyan, the Huang family would have told Mingyan about the marriage. The Huang family had no reason to hide anything from Mingyan; they had raised him as family and were completely open with him.

Of course, Mingyan was unaware of these things.

Putting myself in their shoes, knowing that I'm still hiding things from them, I do have some thoughts...

Mingyan paused for a moment, then decided that he could completely trust Huang Junru. He said, "Neither of these two instances of imperial might was the imperial might of Empress Qingzi."

The Phoenix King frowned, her eyebrows furrowed. "What makes you say that?"

“Aunt, do you know that there was once a fully grown queen in Yaochi?” Mingyan said, “The very famous Queen Mother of the West in the history of Yaochi.”

"Senior Wang Qingchu?" Huang Junru narrowed her eyes.

“Yes, that’s right. She is actually a fully grown king, and... she did not die, but is still alive. These two imperial mights came from her, not from Empress Qingzi.” Mingyan said, “That’s why I’m a little worried.”

Mingyan sighed, "I've been keeping this from you all along, I'm sorry."

"There's still a fully grown adult with the body of a king alive?" Huang Junru was very surprised. "As far as I know, Senior Wang Qingchu should have existed hundreds of thousands of years ago. How could she still be alive in this world now?"

“She encountered some strange things…” Mingyan kept his sister’s experiences a secret. He felt he couldn’t just talk about his sister’s trip to the outer realms, as it wasn’t a matter of trust. “In short, she has been asleep since that era until now. She only woke up when Yaochi took me to see her last time, but her physical body is still asleep.”

Mingyan then recounted what Wang Qingchu had said about needing him to reach the Human Welcome point before he could awaken her physical body: "Even if she is a fully grown adult with a royal body, I still need to reach the Human Welcome point, and it will take me at least two or three hundred years to reach it."

"Two or three hundred years, you really have confidence." Huang Junru glanced at Ming Yan, pondered for a moment, and asked, "She seems to trust you extremely, is it because you both have the Human King Physique?"

“Actually, she sees me as her younger brother,” Mingyan said. “Because we both have the Human King Physique, and the birth of the Human King Physique is completely different from other special physiques... That’s why she trusts me so much and is very affectionate towards me.”

"..." Huang Junru was silent for a while, "After this, I want to see her."

"That depends on what my sister thinks," Mingyan said apologetically. "Her decision is beyond my control."

"Go back and rest," Huang Junru nodded.

Chapter 164 Thinking of You

More than twenty days later, Mingyan and Huang Junru arrived at the Yaochi Holy Land.

As expected, the portal to the Jade Pool Holy Land was also broken.

Traveling after this will be far too inconvenient.

As soon as Huang Junru arrived, a divine sense swept over from the Yaochi Holy Land. Soon after, Ning Mengru appeared outside the Yaochi Holy Land, and Huang Junru also stepped out of the carriage with Ming Yan.

"Junru." Ning Mengru smiled, then looked at Ming Yan and smiled slightly, "Yan'er."

Yan'er... This Yaochi Holy Land is also very special to Ming Yan. My sister, Wang Qingchu, is in the Yaochi Holy Land. Moreover, she is a woman king and the Queen Mother of the West who is extremely prestigious in Yaochi. In fact, Yaochi is also like them, standing behind Ming Yan. It's just that the Huang family and Feng Lingyueying are in the open, while Yaochi is in the shadows.

The protection he now receives is far greater than she had previously imagined. In this light, the protection from the Huang family can bring him less than she thought, accounting for only a small portion of his overall value.

Mingyan explained his purpose: he wanted to meet Wang Qingchu.

Seeing that he didn't hide anything from Huang Junru, Ning Mengru guessed that Mingyan had already told Huang Junru about Wang Qingchu. She sighed inwardly. It seemed that Mingyan really trusted the Huang family. However, judging from the information she received from Ning Feixuan, the Huang family was indeed worthy of Mingyan's trust.

"If you want to see your sister, you shouldn't be asking me." Ning Mengru smiled and looked at Huang Junru. "Junru, why don't you come inside with me?"

“I would also like to meet Senior Wang Qingchu,” Huang Junru said. “I would like to ask him some questions.”

“This probably requires the ancestor’s approval. You can ask Yan’er to pass on the message for you,” Ning Mengru said to Ming Yan with a smile.

Mingyan nodded and entered the Yaochi Sacred Land, heading towards Wang Qingchu's tomb.

He had been to Yaochi Holy Land several times before, so he was quite familiar with the place. Unlike the Huang family, Yaochi Holy Land did not prohibit men from entering. Due to its special nature and the fact that it held the Peach Banquet every now and then, men often came here. However, men were obviously not allowed to enter the living area of ​​Yaochi disciples.
