It turns out, they were the main characters.

“In the past, there were many people in the Eastern Continent who pursued Fairy Yaochi, but none of them succeeded. In the end, after Fairy Yaochi resonated with the Great Dao and became the Empress, all those cultivators who wanted to pursue her in the past gave up.” Another elder revealed a secret that no one knew.

"So, she is the Azure Emperor?!"

At this moment, many disciples of the forbidden zone suddenly realized what was happening.

Few people have seen the image of the fairy in the green dress, but they have all seen the name "Green Emperor" more or less in ancient books.

Unexpectedly, I was fortunate enough to witness the Azure Emperor undergoing his tribulation!

A Dao Integration Realm expert is extremely rare, and a Dao Integration Realm tribulation is something that can be recorded in history!

They were fortunate enough to witness such a rare sight.

At this moment, many disciples in the forbidden zones felt a surge of ambition and fighting spirit, vowing to cultivate diligently and catch up with the Azure Emperor.

Suddenly, the sounds outside the forest became incredibly lively and exciting, until then, another voice suddenly rang out:

"Speaking of which...were we mistaken about Senior Qingdi and Miss Lingxuan's Daoist partner being intimate just now?"

"Or is there some kind of special relationship between them?"

In an instant, the bustling forest fell silent, as if a suffocating silence had been cast over the entire area.

Many people's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally drawn to Ye Lingxuan behind them.

Despite such gazes, Ye Lingxuan remained calm and said, "This matter involves some secrets. When you leave this place, remember not to spread it around."

"Does Miss know the inside story?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"I know, but this matter cannot be mentioned; it involves too much," Ye Lingxuan said calmly.

This sounds a bit like saying: those who know, know; those who don't, you won't understand anyway; I have a conflict of interest, so I'll remain anonymous... that's the feeling.

"You must all remember that, whether it was the matter of the Azure Emperor or what just happened in front of the Reincarnation Pool, do not spread it around outside this place," several elders also spoke up.

"Disciples understand!" everyone replied.

Then, they quickly began whispering again.

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense... If there weren't any special reasons, how could an empress possibly take a fancy to a mere cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm?"

“I once read about that fairy in the green dress in ancient books. There were countless young talents who pursued her, but she never chose a Daoist partner. Instead, she walked the path of cultivation alone and eventually became one of the few female emperors in the Nine Provinces!”

"Indeed, there must be some special reason for choosing Mu Zhian..."

"But didn't you all think before that Miss looked down on those talented young men from the outside world? But this time she came back with her Daoist partner..."

As soon as the words were spoken, many disciples from the forbidden area glared at the person who had spoken, giving him a look that said, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak."

They weren't unaware of this, but given the current situation, they could only comfort themselves with such words.

With that fairy in the green dress's beauty, who wouldn't want to kiss her? But would anyone dare?

Let alone getting close to her, if she were to stand in front of them now, no one would dare to look her in the eye.

This is not due to a 'cowardly' mentality, but rather because the aura of the opponent at the Dao Integration Realm naturally has a suppressive effect on cultivators of lower realms.

Very few people can resist this aura.

Ye Lingxuan is one, Mu Zhian is one... Besides them, there's the younger sister behind the forbidden zone, and the geniuses Ye Qian and Ye Qing within the forbidden zone.

However, among these people, Mu Zhian was the most outstanding.

These geniuses might be able to face the Azure Emperor directly when confronting the fairy in the green dress.

However, Mu Zhian is probably the only one who would dare to kiss the fairy in the green dress or even flirt with her.

The disciples of the forbidden zone were both jealous of Mu Zhi'an and admired his courage.

Anyone else would probably tremble and go blank just standing in front of the fairy in the green dress, let alone make such an intimate gesture.

"They're out."

At this moment, an elder suddenly looked up and gazed into the depths of the mountains and forests ahead, and said...

Everyone looked up and saw Mu Zhi'an and his companion emerging from the forest.

The woman at the head of the group was exceptionally beautiful and breathtaking; wherever her gaze fell, everyone instinctively looked away.

Every inch of her skin seemed to radiate a shimmering silver glow, as if she belonged to another world. Although she had concealed her aura, she still inspired awe from the bottom of one's heart.

The noble young man in a black and gold robe standing next to the fairy in the green dress was indeed handsome, exuding a calm and gentle demeanor.

His attire was quite luxurious, but he didn't give off any nouveau riche vibe, because Mu Zhian's temperament and even his appearance were capable of carrying off such a noble young man's attire.

Many female cultivators in the restricted area secretly glanced at Mu Zhi'an, their eyes gleaming with a hint of fascination.

Even in the forbidden zone, the Chaos Body remains a unique and rare physique. The more outstanding a person is, the more likely they are to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Mu Zhian hasn't shown much so far, but his victory over Zhou Hao and the fact that even the Fairy in the Green Skirt favors him are enough to attract the attention of many female cultivators.

Several elders immediately stepped forward to greet him, bowing respectfully and saying, "Senior Qingdi."

The fairy in the green dress nodded slightly, her gaze then falling on Ye Lingxuan at the back of the crowd.

Many people noticed the gaze of the fairy in the green dress and turned to look. When they saw their young lady walking gracefully forward, many of them began to have their own thoughts.

Mu Zhian is the Daoist partner brought by Miss, and just now this Daoist partner kissed the fairy in the green dress for some special reason... Miss said that she can understand the Azure Emperor, but can she really be as calm and composed as she just showed?

Looking at Ye Lingxuan as she walked forward, everyone felt a sense of curiosity.

Finally, Ye Lingxuan arrived in front of the fairy in the green dress. The purple dress accentuated her fair skin and pretty oval face, adding a touch of classical elegance to the young girl.

Her bright and clear eyes, coupled with her slender figure, easily attract the attention of her peers.

She looked at the fairy in the green dress, seemingly without the slightest fear, and smiled gently, "Fairy sister, it seems your body has recovered?"

The fairy in the green dress slowly shook her head: "It's still a little short, but it'll be soon."

She has only reshaped her immortal body, but to truly recover, she still needs the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit and Mu Zhi'an's help.

However, it's only a matter of time.

"In that case, I'm relieved." Ye Lingxuan said with a smile, "Then Fairy Sister can return to Yaochi Holy Land and restore Yaochi's past glory."

The underlying meaning of this statement is: Don't go near Brother Mu after you recover.

Although Miss Ye Lingxuan usually appears quite mature and elegant, she is actually quite selfish when it comes to relationships. The appearance of the fairy in the green dress and her recent intimate actions towards Mu Zhian have made Ye Lingxuan feel a sense of crisis and some hostility.

If this great white shark were to swim into the fishpond, it would surely suffocate the other fish that are still growing.

The fairy in the green dress raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a faint smile, "Let's talk about what to do after you recover."

"However, I have no plans to leave for the time being."

Ye Lingxuan paused for a moment.

"Senior is an empress, a person of the same generation as my father. It's possible that she would be criticized if word got out that she was with Brother Mu, a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old cultivator."

What appears to be a friendly reminder is actually a veiled mockery of the Green Emperor for being an old ox with young grass.

The disciples of the forbidden area trembled inwardly, their eyelids twitched wildly, and they wished they could turn around and leave on the spot.

These are words they cannot heed.

The young lady and the fairy in the green dress are having a friendly 'chat' now, but after they calm down, those who overheard their conversation may be in for a world of trouble.

Even the elders were starting to lose their composure.

They tried several times to say they wanted to leave, but they couldn't bring themselves to break the terrifying atmosphere.

If I speak now, I'll likely be attacked by the two of them.

Just then, a gentle, soothing voice suddenly rang out: "If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

"After that, we have a few more things to say," Mu Zhian continued.

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, and after a moment they reacted. They looked at Mu Zhian with gratitude in their eyes and clasped their hands in thanks.

"Young Master Mu, see you another day!"

"Take care, Young Master Mu."

"See you another day, Young Master Mu!"

Many people who were originally jealous of Mu Zhian offered their most sincere blessings.

Some people even looked at Mu Zhian with pity.

Either of these women, if placed alone, would be an admirable goddess.

The fairy in the green dress is very good, and Ye Lingxuan is also very good.

But the two combined... that's not so good.

At least in the current atmosphere, even outsiders feel a sense of unease.

Ye Siyu played with a strand of her brown hair, glanced at Mu Zhian a few times, and transmitted her voice: "You're quite courageous~ You flirted with Ling Xuan and still dare to be all lovey-dovey with the Azure Emperor."

"However, she still has some sense of responsibility and didn't try to take the opportunity to run away," she continued.

Mu Zhian shook his head slightly and replied telepathically, "Sister Siyu, what kind of person do you take me for? How could I possibly run away alone under these circumstances?"

As he finished speaking, he looked up at Ye Siyu, who was hovering in mid-air on her sword not far away.

Although this woman was the younger sister of the forbidden area, she clearly had the mindset of a young girl. The dark-colored skirt outlined her long, snow-white legs with a golden ratio, and the belt was lightly tied around her waist. At this moment, she looked on with great interest, as if she was enjoying watching the show.

Mu Zhian gave her a gentle smile and continued to transmit his voice: "Leave this to me, Sister Siyu."

Ye Siyu glanced at Mu Zhian a few times, and when she saw the boy's calm and collected smile, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

How does this guy plan to handle things between these two...?

However, Ye Siyu knew that now was not the time to talk, so she nodded slightly, put her hands behind her back, and followed the elders out of the forest.

As Ye Siyu left, Mu Zhian's previously calm smile crumbled instantly.

All that talk of being calm and collected is just an act.

If possible, Mu Zhian would like to leave, but...

Looking at the figures of the fairy in the green dress and Ye Lingxuan, Mu Zhian sighed softly in his heart.

How the hell am I supposed to get out of here?!

If we leave now, who knows what might happen here.

"We are cultivators, and our ages cannot be judged by worldly standards. There are many stories of masters and disciples eventually coming together in the past." The fairy in the green dress smiled faintly, gazing at Ye Lingxuan, and answered her question.
