Chapter 136

In the courtyard, Lady Dongjun Yanfei wore a long gold and blue dress. As she formed hand seals, the flowing light between heaven and earth—primarily the sun’s rays—was drawn in. Guided by her own internal power, it condensed into a vivid, lifelike three-legged Golden Crow.

After performing the Yin-Yang art she had mastered, Lady Dongjun Yanfei channeled the technique Su Xuan had imparted to her to execute another spell.

Named "Violent Sun," the moment this method was unleashed, the space around her began to distort—a phenomenon caused by the intense heat. The moisture in the air was simultaneously evaporated completely.

The three-legged Golden Crow that Lady Dongjun Yanfei had condensed and suspended before her was like a fish in water, becoming increasingly active. Golden flames began to coalesce upon the body of the Golden Crow.

Seeing this scene, Lady Dongjun Yanfei’s eyes brightened involuntarily.

"880" It was true that Yin-Yang arts could borrow from the environment to achieve greater power, but this technique of artificially altering the environment still left her deeply shocked.

She knew clearly that this was likely not the extent of Su Xuan’s means, but merely an insignificant one among the many he possessed.

Donghuang Taiyi had once investigated Su Xuan and had even briefly mentioned him to Lady Dongjun Yanfei. At the very least, to her knowledge, Su Xuan possessed other, even more powerful arts.

Such as... summoning wind and rain!

Before Su Xuan taught her this art, she might have thought summoning wind and rain was a hoax, but after personally experiencing the profoundness of the technique, she gradually formed a hypothesis.

Perhaps Su Xuan truly could... summon wind and rain.

It was fortunate that Su Xuan did not know of Lady Dongjun Yanfei’s thoughts; otherwise, he would have smiled bitterly, thinking she held him in far too high regard.

Her initial intuition had actually been correct: summoning wind and rain was indeed a hoax.

Lady Dongjun Yanfei continued to diligently practice the technique Su Xuan had imparted to her.

In the courtyard, the temperature fluctuated, with golden flames occasionally flickering by.

When a woman dressed in blue robes arrived, Lady Dongjun Yanfei was still practicing with undivided focus.

Seeing that Lady Dongjun Yanfei had not noticed her, a trace of displeasure appeared on the woman's face, and a cold voice emerged from her lips: "It seems you have been living quite well these past few days!"

"What? Did you succeed in obtaining even greater power from that person?"

As she spoke, the woman in blue flicked her sleeves, and a silvery-white light flew out like moonlight. However, before it could reach Lady Dongjun Yanfei, golden flames suddenly appeared in mid-air, blocking the silver light and annihilating it.

Lady Dongjun Yanfei stopped her cultivation, looked at the person who had attacked her, and asked coldly: "Why have you come?"

"You have the nerve to ask that?" Hearing this, an inexplicable fire surged from the depths of Moon God’s heart.

Donghuang Taiyi and Star Soul had left the Yin-Yang School earlier, and the new Sect Master, Su Xuan, was a hands-off leader. Aside from having Lord of the Clouds send a set of alchemy equipment to Xianyang earlier, he had basically not concerned himself with the affairs of the Yin-Yang School.

The only remaining high-ranking members of the Yin-Yang School were Eastern Sovereign Lady Dongjun Yanfei and Moon God. It could be said that after Donghuang Taiyi and Star Soul departed, the many affairs of the Yin-Yang School were managed by the two of them. As it turned out, a few days ago, Eastern Sovereign had also left the Yin-Yang School along with Yan Yan Lingji.

This meant that all the affairs of the Yin-Yang School had fallen upon Moon God.

Although she knew Eastern Sovereign followed Yan Yan Lingji to cultivate and pursue greater power, it sounded as if only she wanted to cultivate and gain power—she needed to cultivate as well!

Especially now, after sensing that Lady Dongjun Yanfei’s power had grown stronger, Moon God felt as if she had been cheated.

Just as Lady Dongjun Yanfei viewed Donghuang Taiyi as a rival, constantly wanting to surpass and defeat him, Moon God viewed Lady Dongjun Yanfei as a rival. The reason for this was that they had joined the Yin-Yang School at roughly the same time, and as fellow women, all eyes were fixed solely on Lady Dongjun Yanfei, who was hailed as the prodigy of Yin-Yang arts. This inevitably made Moon God feel a sense of jealousy.

She had always viewed Lady Dongjun Yanfei as a rival, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, her talent was indeed slightly inferior to Lady Dongjun Yanfei’s, which led to Lady Dongjun Yanfei becoming Eastern Sovereign while she could only become Moon God.

However, aside from this, their relationship in private was actually quite decent.

After Donghuang Taiyi left, Eastern Sovereign Lady Dongjun Yanfei had once said that powerful strength did not need to be sought outside, as it was hidden within the Yin-Yang School. Moon God had realized that Lady Dongjun Yanfei was referring to Su Xuan, but she remained skeptical about whether Lady Dongjun Yanfei could actually obtain power from him.

Although Su Xuan had defeated Donghuang Taiyi and become the new Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, he was an outsider after all. No one knew what his attitude toward the Yin-Yang School was; why would he impart powerful strength to others for no reason?

Moon God was a very realistic person and could not help but mock Lady Dongjun Yanfei’s naivety.

Until now, she realized she was wrong.

She did not know what Lady Dongjun Yanfei had done, but her strength had indeed increased, which meant Su Xuan had truly imparted powerful strength to her.

Lady Dongjun Yanfei did not know of Moon God’s many thoughts. Upon hearing the anger in Moon God’s words, she chose to remain silent and offered no reply.

Moon God raised an eyebrow and asked Lady Dongjun Yanfei: "Where is Master Master Xuantian?"

"Do you have business with him?" Lady Dongjun Yanfei inquired.

Moon God’s lips curled into a faint smile: "Master Master Xuantian is the new Sect Master of our Yin-Yang School. Does it mean only you, the Eastern Sovereign, may come to pay respects to him, and I, the Protector, may not?"

Lady Dongjun Yanfei was stunned. Although Su Xuan had imparted greater power to her, he had indeed never said such things.

After a fleeting thought, Lady Dongjun Yanfei said to Moon God: "He is inside, cultivating!"

Moon God’s eyes brightened, and she walked straight past Eastern Sovereign toward the room where Su Xuan was. Upon reaching the door, she lowered her head, her demeanor submissive, and a calm voice entered the room: "Moon God requests an audience with Master Master Xuantian!"

Because the members of the Yin-Yang School addressed the previous Sect Master as "Master Donghuang," after Su Xuan succeeded as the Sect Master, Moon God and the others also addressed him as "Master."

Su Xuan had originally intended to correct their address, as "Master" was not particularly majestic—titles like Sect Master or Leader were more imposing—but after thinking about it, he ultimately gave up.

Inside the room, after Yan Yan Lingji and Lady Dongjun Yanfei had each gone to cultivate, Su Xuan finally found some free time to practice himself. Upon hearing the voice outside, his eyes opened slowly.

"Come in!"
