The pearl tassels on the sedan curtain swayed gently with each step, reflecting a shimmering light, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Wei Changxuan's heart skipped a beat, and the Earth Book in his sleeve began to heat up slightly.
The unusual vibration made him secretly wary—could the person in the sedan chair have some connection with the Earth Book?
As I was pondering, the sedan curtain was gently lifted like flowing water, revealing first a hand as white as jade.
Her fingertips were stained with a faint balsam juice, the vibrant red contrasting sharply with her fair skin, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
Immediately afterwards, a stunningly beautiful face appeared before everyone's eyes.
Yueyao, this mysterious woman rumored to come from beyond the heavens.
And now, he stands alive and well before everyone.
She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water reflecting stars. A red mole at the corner of her eye added to her charming allure.
A long, moon-white dress cascaded down her back like flowing clouds, perfectly outlining her slender figure.
The cranes embroidered with silver thread on the skirt are so lifelike, as if they are about to take flight at any moment.
She wore only a simple white magnolia hairpin in her hair, without any excessive pearl or jade decorations.
Yet it made her appear as ethereal and otherworldly as a banished immortal, exuding an otherworldly aura.
However, the faint chill between her brows was like an invisible barrier, making people hesitant to approach her.
"Young Master Lei, it's been a long time." Yueyao's voice was like a clear mountain spring.
It possessed a cool and ethereal quality, as if carrying the chill of a snow-capped mountain peak.
It stood out clearly in the bustling street.
She gently raised her eyes, and in the flow of her gaze, it seemed as if a thousand stars were twinkling within them.
Upon hearing this, Lei Mengsha gave an awkward, dry laugh, his hand unconsciously touching the tip of his nose.
"Miss Yueyao, what brings you here?"
His tone was somewhat wary.
After all, the Outer Heaven has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and its sudden appearance must be for some purpose.
Yueyao ignored Lei Mengsha's question, her gaze passing right past him.
Like a sharp arrow, it struck Wei Changxuan directly.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
Wei Changxuan clearly felt the Earth Book in his sleeve vibrating more and more violently.
It was as if an invisible force was pulling it, trying to break free of its constraints.
"This young master looks unfamiliar." Yueyao's lips curled slightly.
A half-smile, a smile like the warm winter sun, yet utterly devoid of any warmth.
"To be able to easily repel the Dark River assassins, they must be no nobody."
Her words seemed casual, but they actually contained a probing tone. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Wei Changxuan, as if trying to see through his heart and uncover his secrets.
Wei Changxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his moon-white robes fluttering in the evening breeze, his expression one of composure and ease.
He nodded slightly, a perfectly timed smile playing on his lips:
My name is Wei Changxuan. I have just arrived in Qiandong City, only to be caught up in this turmoil.
Before he finished speaking, his tone carried a hint of nonchalance, yet also an undeniable composure.
Chapter 377 Mysterious Immortal Book!
Yueyao's eyes flickered, and she looked at Yan Lingji and the others behind Wei Changxuan with a half-smile.
Her gaze was like an invisible ruler, meticulously measuring everyone from top to bottom:
The young ladies beside Young Master Wei are all strikingly beautiful and spirited.
Her every move exudes extraordinary grace, making her truly enviable.
Yan Lingji frowned slightly, a hint of anger igniting in her crimson eyes.
A ghostly blue flame instantly erupted from his fingertips, its flames swaying gracefully in the twilight.
This lady has a pleasant way of speaking.
However, we are not pushovers.
Her voice was both gentle and sharp, like a blade ready to be drawn at any moment.
Yueyao wasn't annoyed; instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.
Sister, you've misunderstood. I was merely curious about the talented individuals under Young Master Wei's command.
What kind of opportunity could bring all these talented people together here?
Her tone was gentle, but the inquisitive glint in her eyes remained undiminished.
Wei Changxuan raised his hand and pressed down lightly, his gentle gaze sweeping over Yan Lingji, signaling her to calm down.
When he spoke again, his voice was still as gentle and warm as jade:
We are just a bunch of wandering, carefree people, not worth mentioning.
But Miss Yueyao has come all this way, surely she didn't come just to watch this little fight?
His words, seemingly casual and tentative, actually concealed a sharp edge.
Yueyao was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Wei Changxuan to be so straightforward.
She quickly regained her composure and nodded slightly, saying:
Young Master Wei is indeed a man of few words. To be honest,
I have come here for that secret treasure that is about to be revealed.
Lei Mengsha's expression hardened, and his brows furrowed tightly.
I never expected Miss Yueyao to be so well-informed.
He instinctively gripped the sword hilt, watching the mysterious woman from beyond the heavens warily.
Yueyao gracefully flicked her sleeves, the silver-embroidered cloud patterns appearing and disappearing in the twilight:
Young Master Lei, you flatter me. The appearance of the Immortal Book in the world concerns the overall situation of the world, and the Outer Heavens naturally cannot remain uninvolved.
Her tone was calm and composed, yet it subtly revealed an undeniable authority.
The Book of Immortals! Wei Changxuan's heart skipped a beat.
The book on the ground hidden in the sleeve seemed to come alive, trembling violently.
A scorching power coursed through my body along my meridians.
He suppressed his inner turmoil and asked with a calm expression:
I wonder what's so magical about this immortal book that has attracted so many forces to flock to it?
Yueyao gave Wei Changxuan a deep look, a meaningful smile flashing in her eyes.
She paused, then slowly began to speak: "Legend has it that the Book of Immortals records the cultivation secrets of ancient immortals, and those who obtain it can unravel the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao."
There are even rumors that the book contains a world-shaking secret to shattering the void and transcending reincarnation...
As these words fell, an invisible force seemed to surge in the air.
Wei Changxuan's pupils contracted slightly, and the Earth Book hidden in his sleeve almost burst out.
The intense sense of resonance made him almost lose control.
He secretly circulated his internal energy to suppress it, but on the surface he remained calm.
But a storm was already raging within him—the secret of shattering the void,
The connection between this and the book on the ground in his possession is probably far more profound than imagined.
Chapter 378 The Secret of the Immortal Book!
As dusk deepened, the last rays of the sunset were swallowed by the night.
Only the lanterns along the street lit up one by one, casting a warm yellow glow.
Yueyao's eyes, as clear as autumn water, were fixed on Wei Changxuan.
Her gaze seemed to shimmer like a galaxy, as if trying to penetrate his calm exterior.
Peeking into the secrets deep within his heart: Young Master Wei seems particularly interested in this answer?
Her voice was clear and cold like a spring, with a hint of probing at the end.
Wei Changxuan lowered his eyes to conceal the turbulent thoughts within them, his fingertips quietly tracing the patterns of the earth script within his sleeve.
Once her emotions had calmed down, she looked up and revealed a calm and serene smile:
It's just a common problem among people in the martial arts world.
The legendary realm of breaking through the void is something that would inspire longing in anyone who hears about it.
His tone was calm and steady, but as soon as he finished speaking, the book on the ground in his sleeve...
Another scorching tremor came, as if in response to the conversation.
Yueyao gently stroked the flowing cloud pattern embroidered with silver thread on the hem of her skirt.
His gaze drifted to the distant horizon, his tone tinged with reminiscence:
A thousand years ago, the immortal Qingxiaozi shattered the void and departed, leaving behind the "Book of Immortals," which is the key to that realm.
The silver bell on her wrist jingled softly with her movements, its clear sound carried a strange hint of melancholy in the evening breeze.
Miss Yueyao, the Heavenly Realm knows so much about the Immortal Book, could it be...?
Lei Mengsha couldn't suppress his doubts, and before he could finish speaking, Yueyao raised her hand to interrupt him.
Young Master Lei is overthinking it. A faint frost appeared between Yueyao's brows, but her gaze grew even more resolute.
Tianwaitian, following the dying wish of its ancestors, has always been the guardian of the secret treasure.
