It turns out, they were the main characters.

Ye Lingxuan sat alone in the villa, her back view appearing somewhat lonely.

Now that she's at the Refining Spirit Realm, she could go without sleep all night without any problems, but the fact that she sat in the villa for two whole days still made people a little worried.

That morning, Wei Mengrou, whose injuries had healed somewhat, arrived at Yaochi's villa and saw Ye Lingxuan sitting in a chair, seemingly lost in thought, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Even if you're at the Refining Spirit Realm, you should still take care of your health.

Ye Lingxuan didn't look up, but shook her head and smiled faintly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

"What can I do for you, Sister Mengrou?" she continued to ask.

"The Azure Emperor said he would freeze him temporarily today, and perhaps later we can think of a way to bring him back to life," Wei Mengrou said.

Ye Lingxuan was taken aback at first, and her eyes seemed to glisten with tears.

She lowered her eyes slightly and hummed in agreement.

Wei Mengrou looked at the girl in the purple dress in front of her, as if she wanted to say something.

At this moment, Ye Lingxuan raised her head first and said, "Sister Mengrou, don't worry too much about me. I already told you I'm fine."

“The Purple Rainbow Pavilion and the Profound Heaven Pavilion are just pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes. Before catching the big fish, I know what the best choice is.”

Wei Mengrou remained silent for a while, then sat down next to Ye Lingxuan.

"Has your inheritance ended?" Wei Mengrou asked.

Knowing that Ye Lingxuan didn't want to talk about it anymore, she decided to change the subject.

Ye Lingxuan gently shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I can continue to receive the inheritance after I return to the sect."

The legacy of the forbidden zone lies in the 'doll' that Ye Lingxuan created in the past. As long as the doll is by her side, her legacy can be restarted at any time.

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly and said, "You are already at the fifth level of Refining Spirit. If the inheritance ends, you should at least be at the sixth level or even higher?"

"Mmm." Ye Lingxuan nodded gently, her expression calm.

It only took him less than half a month to go from a Qi Refining cultivator to the fifth level of Spirit Refining. Such a cultivation speed is something even geniuses can only look up to.

Ye Lingxuan is now beginning to show her talent, and in the future, she will gradually leave her fellow cultivators far behind.

Mu Zhian's past guess was correct; if he didn't win over Ye Lingxuan when she was young, it would be almost impossible to win her over in the future.

Because Ye Lingxuan's temperament and talent far surpassed those of her peers.

After chatting for a while, Wei Mengrou's gaze suddenly fell on the snow lotus in Ye Lingxuan's hand.

She recognized the snow lotus.

Because she also had the same snow lotus in her hand.

However, the flower in Ye Lingxuan's hand had already withered.

"This was given to me by Brother Mu before, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention when I received the inheritance and it withered." Seemingly noticing Wei Mengrou's gaze, Ye Lingxuan explained.

Wei Mengrou hesitated for a moment before taking out a flowerpot from her storage ring.

The flowerpot was filled with lustrous soil, and inside the lustrous soil was a snow lotus that looked bright and beautiful.

She handed the snow lotus to Ye Lingxuan.

Ye Lingxuan immediately shook her head and smiled, "No need. Although it's a bit of a pity, if you really want a snow lotus, you can just go to the Mu family and pick one. Anyway, Brother Mu won't mind—"

Her voice suddenly faltered, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it had been stabbed with needles; a strong sense of sorrow filled her nasal cavity.

She took a shallow breath and slowly exhaled.

Just as she was about to smile, Wei Mengrou put one arm around the girl's head, letting her bury her face in her chest, and gently stroked her soft, beautiful hair.

"There's no one else here, so it's okay," she whispered in Ye Lingxuan's ear.

"I already told you I'm fine..." Ye Lingxuan said again in a low voice.

However, under Wei Mengrou's comforting words, for some reason, the composure that this forbidden zone saintess had maintained seemed to be broken, and Wei Mengrou soon felt her chest being soaked with tears.

After a long while, Ye Lingxuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, her eyes red-rimmed: "Sister Mengrou, aren't you sad?"

Wei Mengrou smiled gently: "I'm sad."

"But I don't know why, I just can't cry."

She pointed to her chest and whispered, "It feels like there's nothing here."

……

As evening fell, the sun began to set.

The fairy in the green dress opened her eyes before the throne, her eyes seeming somewhat tired.

"Senior Qingdi, are you alright...?" An elder below the stage asked with concern.

"It's alright." The fairy in the green dress slowly shook her head.

She was somewhat weak, partly because she hadn't absorbed any spiritual energy in the past two days, and partly because she hadn't undergone the tribulation and had been suppressing the arrival of the primordial spirit tribulation.

Some people in Yaochi speculated that this was because the Azure Emperor had some health problems, and she had forcibly accelerated the time of condensing the cauldron, thus suffering a backlash.

But in reality, this incident had nothing to do with any backlash...

The fairy in the green dress leaned against the throne, quietly waiting for night to fall.

She is a person who can endure loneliness very well; she can wait motionless until a big fish takes the bait.

……

As night fell, the Holy King City remained bustling with activity. The recent events at the Yaochi Holy Land had become the most discussed topic among the cultivators.

The investigation of Holy King City by the restricted area has now ended, and Thor and Kunpeng seem to have left as well, but most of the people have not left Holy King City.

The outside world is in complete chaos, and all the ancient families are investigating their own internal problems. They have just finished their own investigations and would only cause more trouble if they returned to their families now.

Moreover, this matter is probably not over yet... Many people have this feeling.

Yaochi was attacked by two ancient families who possessed ancestral artifacts.

So the question is, why did these two ancient clans attack the Yaochi Holy Land?

Naturally, the intention is to gain some benefits from this... and these benefits may very well involve certain powerful forces.

This matter cannot simply be left unresolved.

Of course, some people were afraid of getting involved, so they chose to leave Holy King City when night fell.

At midnight that day, a shadowy figure mingled into the crowd and silently followed them out of Holy King City, a cold laugh playing on his lips.

To be on the safe side, it did not choose to escape on the night the Azure Emperor left Yaochi, but deliberately waited until today when everyone was relaxed before choosing to leave.

Although it was a little regrettable that the Azure Emperor ultimately managed to condense the cauldron, he was already lucky enough to escape from the Empress, who was at the Dao Integration Realm, so we can't ask for too much.

Moreover, that young cultivator has a close relationship with the Empress, and he is suspected to be an enhanced version of a natural furnace for cultivation. If he is allowed to grow, he might be able to assist one Empress after another in the future.

Besides him, it was like getting rid of a major worry.

Suddenly, a beam of emerald green light flashed in the eyes of the strange creature, causing it to pause for a moment and instinctively look up.

In mid-air, a blue lotus bloomed silently, its emerald light illuminating the entire sky!

Then, a large hand silently descended, pressing the strange creature to the ground. Vines surged out almost instantly, binding the creature within.

The eerie creature looked up in terror and cried out, "Azure Emperor?! Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?!"

The figure of the fairy in the green dress appeared silently in people's sight.

She was like a celestial maiden, unattainable, her beautiful and serene face serene.

"I will not go anywhere until the mastermind behind this is caught."

The Azure Emperor publicly announced that he had left, and even deliberately brought Mu Zhi'an with him to create the illusion that he had left.

But no one expected that she would conceal her own aura and choose to return to Yaochi with Mu Zhian.

The period of suppressing the approaching tribulation over the past two days is also what we've been waiting for!

This bizarre creature is the offspring of the evil god hiding in the Holy King City. It is a terrestrial immortal who has comprehended a trace of the Dao, and is also one of the true culprits who participated in the attack on Yaochi!

The vines tightened their grip, and sensing the spiritual energy rapidly dissipating, the eerie creature was terrified and whispered something.

Boom boom boom...

At that instant, thunder roared in the sky.

Legend has it that the gods of the Southern Wilderness are quite peculiar; as long as one is a true believer, one can summon them by calling their true name.

Deep in the southern wilderness, a mysterious creature with eight eyes quietly opened its eyes.

Its projection appeared almost instantly above the Holy King City, looking down at the earth, and slowly said, "Azure Emperor, release it."

"You should know that every cultivator who wants to advance to the Dao Integration Realm will be hindered; this is also a test of the Heavenly Dao. As for the death of your Daoist partner, it was not my intention."

Its voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the Eastern Continent, and also causing many equally strange creatures in the Southern Wilderness to cheer for the name of the god.

"I will either save them or go to the Southern Wilderness myself in a few days," the Azure Emperor said calmly.

Legend has it that deep in the Southern Wilderness, there is an extremely special imperial-level medicinal herb that can capture even the remnant soul of a living being and guide it back into their body.

If combined with Reincarnation Water, Heavenly Phoenix Fruit, and other ingredients, a Soul-Returning Pill could be refined, which might allow Mu Zhi'an to recover.

The creature gazed at a frozen youth in the Jade Pool Holy Land and slowly said, "Your Daoist partner's spiritual consciousness has vanished; there's no way to save him. Just give up."

At the same time, deep in the southern wilderness, another invisible entity silently opened its eyes.

"Are you planning to declare war on the Southern Wilderness for the sake of a mere cultivator, Consort Shang Yan?"

It's trying to get Consort Shang to speak up and persuade the Green Emperor to back down.

At the same time, a golden light quietly illuminated the night, accompanied by a voice that seemed to calm even the most anxious heart.

"Amitabha."

Golden light enveloped the earth almost instantly.

The Buddha in the Western Regions!

Some of the old monsters in the Eastern Continent recognized the origin of this statue, and their hearts pounded wildly.

The power of faith in the Western Regions is quite mysterious. Some cultivators who ventured there in the past were inexplicably enlightened and never left the Western Regions. This has made some cultivators quite wary of the Western Regions.

"Benefactor Shang, you should persuade the Azure Emperor to release the people." The Buddha spoke slowly, choosing to stand on the side of the Southern Wilderness, while his peaceful gaze was fixed on the sect leader of the Two Elements Sect in the distance.
