It turns out, they were the main characters.

"If it weren't for this innate spiritual body, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Sword Palace. Therefore, I am truly grateful to Sister Lingxuan."

When Mu Zhian said this, he gazed at Ye Lingxuan with a very frank expression. It seemed like he was expressing his gratitude, but in fact, his eyes were full of deep affection. He meant to show that the Purple Lightning Sacred Rock was not only for gratitude, but also had other profound meanings.

Ye Lingxuan's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at him for a moment, then secretly lowered her eyes.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mu Zhian took the opportunity to transmit his voice to Lan Mulian: "If you want a Purple Lightning Sacred Rock in the future, I can give you one."

Lan Mulian glanced at Mu Zhian with her beautiful eyes and replied with a cold laugh, "I have no interest in the Purple Lightning Sacred Rock. Young Master Mu, you should leave it to someone who needs it."

Mu Zhian sighed softly and transmitted his voice again: "I know that Senior Sister is not very satisfied with me tonight. However, I still believe that there is no need for us to be so polite. Besides, Senior Sister has taken good care of me in the past, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay her kindness."

Lan Mulian smiled and looked him over twice, then transmitted her voice, "If that's the case, why didn't you come to Liangyi Peak after returning from the Sword Palace? Why did you have to come tonight?"

Mu Zhi'an transmitted his voice, "After the Snow Lotus incident, Senior Sister had a considerable misunderstanding about me. I'm worried that if you find out later that I gave you more than just special spirit stones..."

Mu Zhian hesitated, looking quite troubled.

"Do you think I'd be jealous?" Lan Mulian transmitted her voice with a smile. "Young Master Mu, you seem quite confident in your charm, don't you?"

"I think you're just jealous right now..." Mu Zhian replied, "Giving gifts doesn't necessarily mean romantic love. I just wanted to make this clear to my senior sister."

If I had to say, tonight's troubles weren't all bad, since it's good to be prepared for the worst.

What Mu Zhian meant by what he just said was probably: If you see me wearing bracelets, rings, and necklaces again, don't misunderstand, these gifts aren't necessarily given out of love, it's just that he's close to other people...

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly as she transmitted her voice, "Young Master Mu gave me a gift simply to repay a debt of gratitude?"

Mu Zhian gazed at Lan Mulian and whispered, "Senior Sister should understand."

Lan Mulian glanced at him with her clear black and white eyes, then subtly looked away.

"With the Ascension Ceremony approaching, we should prioritize the Ascension Ceremony."

She paused, then continued telepathically: "It's fine to relax occasionally and go out for a walk, but don't forget about your cultivation."

This was an indirect agreement... Mu Zhian was secretly delighted, looked at Lan Mulian, and transmitted her voice, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister. I will cultivate diligently from now on."

Next, Mu Zhian transmitted his voice to Bai Ruoxi, Ye Qian, and the others, expressing his intention to give them special spirit stones.

In this way, he won't have any problems wearing jewelry made by other people openly.

After exchanging messages one by one, the atmosphere that had been as cold as winter gradually cooled down.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian spoke up at the right time: "There are many things to do tonight, and we don't know when this strange phenomenon will disappear. Let's go back and meditate in seclusion for now, and wait for this strange phenomenon to disappear."

"Besides, it's not really suitable for Sister Mengrou to go out right now," Mu Zhian continued.

He was indeed somewhat worried about Wei Mengrou's situation.

Although Wei Mengrou's fortune is currently manifested in a physical form, no one knows whether the bright moon in the sky will affect her fortune.

Moreover, Wei Mengrou is very perceptive of others' opinions. She is the only one among these golden beauties who shimmers with a dark light, making her stand out.

If outsiders see it, there will inevitably be some gossip.

Ye Siyu frowned slightly, looking at Mu Zhian with suspicion.

Although they didn't know what Mu Zhian had just said, the sudden cooling of the previously heated atmosphere clearly indicated that Mu Zhian had communicated with them telepathically.

"This guy is much more capable than I imagined..." Ye Siyu, with her oval face and peach blossom eyes, observed Mu Zhian and muttered to herself.

Mu Zhian pretended not to notice and transmitted his voice to Ye Lingxuan: "Lingxuan, you've overworked yourself tonight. You must get some rest when you get back and don't tire yourself out."

Ye Lingxuan gave a soft "hmm". The things that had just happened tonight made her a little embarrassed to look Mu Zhian in the eye, afraid that someone would notice something.

At this moment, Mu Zhian transmitted his voice again: "Sister Siyu seems to have a deep prejudice against me. I want to find an opportunity to have a little talk with her later so that we can get along well in the future. Sister Lingxuan, can you find a way to arrange something for us?"

Judging from her behavior tonight, this aunt is definitely going to be a huge problem in the future. I need to find some time to get to know her, try to win her over, and maybe even lick her thigh a bit, so she doesn't actually go back and complain to her future mother-in-law...

Ye Lingxuan snapped out of her thoughts, glanced at Mu Zhian silently, and transmitted her voice, "Hmm... I will create opportunities for you guys after this."

She could naturally see that Ye Siyu seemed to have a lot of opinions about Mu Zhian, but this was only because Sister Siyu didn't understand how good Brother Mu was.

Just like at first, she also disliked Mu Zhian, a spoiled brat. However, after getting to know him better, she gradually realized that he wasn't actually that bad.

The crisis was averted, and Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief. After watching Ye Lingxuan and the others leave, he turned around and prepared to go back.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly felt a slightly familiar gaze. He paused slightly and turned around to look.

Not far from Tianhe Garden, a bright figure in a red dress came into view. Her light golden hair was casually draped over her back, and a pair of long, shapely, and sexy legs were exposed beneath the hem of her dress. A black leg ring was worn on her right thigh, leaving a shallow mark on her flesh. Her legs were smooth, round, and elastic, like jade.

A charming smile graced her face as she stood with her hands behind her back, gazing in the direction of Mu Zhian.

Regina.

Tonight, besides Lan Mulian, there were others who also noticed that this natural phenomenon originated from the Liuli Palace, and Regina, who possessed the ability to read souls, was naturally one of them.

However, while most cultivators were focused on the 'bright moon' in the sky tonight, Regina noticed Mu Zhian immediately.

After all, there was still a deal that she and Mu Zhian had not yet reached.

"Young Master Mu is truly popular with women. I didn't expect you to even know Senior Sister Lan." Regina clicked her tongue in admiration, her teasing voice carrying a hint of amusement as it reached Mu Zhi'an's ears.

"Miss Regina, instead of meditating and cultivating at night, how come you have the leisure to come to the Glazed Palace?" Mu Zhian also transmitted his voice.

"With such a commotion at the Glazed Palace tonight, anyone who senses the anomaly originating from there will likely come to investigate," Regina said with a smile, then continued, "Does Young Master Mu know who caused it?"

As she spoke, her pitiful, delicate eyes gazed at Mu Zhian, and her light golden hair falling over her shoulders gave her a look that instantly evoked pity in anyone who looked at her.

"I don't know, I'm quite curious too," Mu Zhian replied with a calm smile.

Regina narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Mu Zhian casually.

When she saw the strange phenomenon tonight, the first person she thought of was Mu Zhi'an.

Among all the geniuses, Mu Zhian's physique is the most unique.

After all, everyone's physique is designed for actual combat, except for Mu Zhian's physique.

“Since Young Master Mu doesn’t know either, then forget it. The Ascension Ceremony is just around the corner, and after that, it will probably be hard to find a chance to chat. Why don’t you find some time these next few days to come to my place for a cup of tea?” Regina took the initiative to invite him, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, filled with tender affection.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Zhian finally nodded in agreement.

This is the Liangyi Sect. Even people from the Southern Wilderness have to behave themselves. What's wrong with going to the villa where Regina is currently living?

Are you suggesting we eat him?

“Then we won’t disturb Young Master Mu’s enjoyment tonight. If your partner knew we were chatting, he might be angry, right?” Regina’s melodious voice reached Mu Zhi’an’s ears.

"I'm fine, but your men won't beat me up if they know how close we are, will they?" Mu Zhian replied in a similarly tactful manner.

He was quite adept at tea ceremony, having been exposed to it by the young lady Bai, who was not good at palace intrigue and had no ill intentions.

Regina looked at him with a half-smile: "Is Young Master Mu trying to sow discord? But Nigati is just one of the people traveling with us this time, and his affairs have nothing to do with me."

As she said this, she glanced casually at the faint pink light emanating from Mu Zhian's body.

This luck is really interesting...

Besides luck, Mu Zhian's spiritual energy seemed to have diminished somewhat tonight.

This was both bad news and good news for her.

The bad news is that Mu Zhian may have assisted someone tonight, allowing them to comprehend a wisp of Daoist essence. This is why the Liangyi Sect experienced unusual phenomena tonight, and even activated the sect's grand formation to shield the heavenly secrets.

Because the rules of heaven and earth do not allow anyone to 'enlighten'.

If tonight's events are indeed related to Mu Zhian, then the girl who comprehended the Dao will likely be the most formidable opponent at the upcoming Ascension Conference.

The good news is that she will also be able to receive the boost from the innate furnace afterward.

If possible, it's best to do it before the Ascension Ceremony.

In this way, she will have a greater chance of winning the Ascension Tournament.

However, this requires a prerequisite.

She wanted to make this man submit to her charms before the Ascension Ceremony.

She had countless suitors in the Southern Wilderness, and she naturally knew how to win people's hearts.

"Just wait and see."

Regina smiled slightly, turned around, and walked away gracefully.

Chapter 259 Mu Zhian, using a honey trap! (7,000 words)

The sect's grand formation of the Liangyi Sect has rarely been truly activated in the past.

Because its nine smaller formations are located on the nine main peaks, if it weren't for Shang Yanfei, these chief disciples and elders wouldn't have been able to activate the sect's long-dormant formation.

At this very moment, in a certain grotto-heaven, the nine chief masters have gathered together in a rare occurrence.

The array formations of the nine main peaks are currently being guarded by more than twenty elders, who are here to confirm the key points of the sect's grand array.

Yi Hao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky... no, to be precise, it was a ray of white light.

A very gentle white light.

"What exactly is this thing? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with it?" Yi Hao looked up at the bright moon and frowned in thought.

Ning Yuan also looked up and stared intently, saying, "Sect Master should know something."

They only knew that the sect leader had ordered them to activate the sect's grand formation, but they did not know the reason behind it.

Could it be related to that white light in mid-air?

"Junior Sister Yu is skilled at divination. Does she know anything about heavenly secrets?" The head of Hidden Sword Peak's gaze fell on Yu Xuanji, who was not far away and wore a feathered robe with a graceful and charming figure.

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the other leaders involuntarily turned to the leader of Tianji Peak.

Tianji Peak excels at deducing the secrets of heaven, and this Junior Sister Yu is even more accomplished in this area; perhaps she knows the answer.

However, Yu Xuanji simply shook her head and said with a faint smile, "This matter is none of our business. It's better to put away some unnecessary curiosity and focus on cultivating the Dao."

Yu Ziyan asked, "Junior Sister, it seems you know something?"

“I haven’t done any calculations, but since the sect leader has asked us to activate the sect’s grand formation, it’s conceivable that even if we knew about this, it would be meaningless to us and might even cause unnecessary trouble,” Yu Xuanji said with a faint smile.

Yu Ziyan raised her eyebrows slightly, then looked up at the white light in mid-air.

Because of the activation of the sect's grand formation, the white light, which had almost illuminated the entire night sky, was now reduced to just a beam of light.

Even so, the soft glow it emitted at this moment still inexplicably made people feel a sense of goodwill towards it, and subconsciously lowered their guard.

Why is the sect leader so wary of this unknown white light, even going so far as to activate the sect's grand formation to shield the secrets of heaven?
