Chapter 140: Xi Lan's Shock

140. Chapter 140: Xi Lan's Shock

"The Youming Fujun has arrived!"

In Youjing City, many cultivators rushed outside; after all, the Youming Fujun was the foremost power of the Ancient Battlefield, and this was the edge of the Ancient Battlefield, so they had only heard legends of the Youming Fujun.

Now that a high-ranking figure from the Youming Fujun had arrived, how could the Ghost Cultivators and cultivators of Youjing City not be curious?

Moreover, the City Lord of Youjing City heard the news and rushed over as well.

This Youjing City was merely a small city, and one built by Loose Cultivators uniting together.

Because here lay the largest entrance leading to the Immortal Cultivation World, the Loose Cultivators built a city and thereby gained protection.

Xi Lan also heard this commotion and, somewhat curious, followed the crowd toward the city gates.

"Hiss!"

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Xi Lan looked at Luo Yao in surprise, then relaxed as that group from the Youming Fujun also departed.

The Taixu Sect and the Ghost Cultivator factions of the Ancient Battlefield had no dealings; how could Xiao Yao's identity possibly make the Youming Fujun escort her?

Although their goal was to become Immortals, becoming Immortals was for longevity, for freedom and joy, so in this process, the two would not mistreat themselves.

Although cultivators did not need to bathe, a Cleansing Spell could clear away the filth on their bodies.

After she came out, she saw Xi Lan.

Hearing this, Xi Lan felt somewhat envious, but soon accepted it, and instead spoke with Luo Yao about some experiences regarding breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Around the flying carriage, guard after guard of the Fierce Ghost Realm, clad in black armor and gripping Long Spears, stood guard nearby.

After Xiao Wan recovered, the Youming Fujun began to reorganize the Youming Fujun and those factions that dared to act against Xiao Wan.

But, that didn't seem right!

Wasn't the Youming Fujun a Ghost Cultivator faction?

"It should be impossible; how could the Youming Fujun come here?"

Seeing the young girl's appearance, Xi Lan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Are you going to the Taixu Sect?"

"Yes!"

She took out the Communication Jade Pendant given to her by Senior Brother Wei; she didn't know if it was because the distance was too great, but there was absolutely no reaction.

And the Youming Fujun's actions would absolutely trigger a war in the Ancient Battlefield.

Xi Lan then discovered Luo Yao's cultivation level, immediately widening her eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.

First, she produced Pills capable of resisting Yin Qi, and then produced Spirit Milk that instantly restored Spirit Power; her own cultivation breakthrough was all thanks to her.

"Could this be the legendary Youming Fujun arriving?"

Luo Yao followed behind Xi Lan, leaving the Ancient Battlefield with her.

With her cultivation level, she had no qualification to participate, so it was better to leave quickly.

Just after leaving the Ancient Battlefield, warm sunlight spilled onto her body; Luo Yao instinctively squinted her eyes and raised a hand to block them.

Xi Lan also stretched; while in the Ancient Battlefield, she had been on edge, fearing a Fierce Ghost would attack her at any second.

But soaking in hot water was very comfortable.

Arriving at the city gate, she saw a mass of Yin Qi surging toward them from afar; before it even approached, everyone felt a terrifying pressure.

"Lan Jie, let's leave quickly; the Ancient Battlefield has been unstable lately."

She could only follow Xi Lan; however, the two immediately sought a populated town to rest and recuperate.

More importantly, the Ancient Battlefield was too oppressive; seeing no sun year-round, staying too long was bad for one's state of mind.

Afterwards, Luo Yao briefly explained her relationship with the Youming Fujun: roughly, she met the Youming Fujun Princess on the road, acted to help her, so the Youming Fujun thanked her and escorted her away.

"Eh? Xiao Yao, your cultivation has broken through?"

Although she herself had broken through, Luo Yao was different; she went from the eighth layer of Qi Refining directly to the peak of Qi Refining, crossing several layers.

She didn't expect the friend she had accidentally made to have such a big background.

"Who is this?"

"She..."

After a while, seeing the greenery around her, she let out a long sigh of relief.

But now, in the Immortal Cultivation World, it was different.

Many people were curious, and the City Lord of Youjing City was extremely anxious, not knowing the reason the Youming Fujun had come here, after all, the two had no dealings.

She knew that back then, she had spent nearly several months breaking through from the eighth layer of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining.

"Lan Jie, what's wrong?"

Xi Lan knew Luo Yao had not yet been to the Taixu Sect, so she said, "Coincidentally, I have nothing to do; I'll take you there."

Xi Lan was also somewhat curious in the crowd; as far as she knew, the Youming Fujun should have been looking for the missing Princess; how could they come here? Could the Youming Fujun Princess be here?

However, just as she was curious, she saw that flying carriage stop outside Youjing City, and then a young girl stepped out of the flying carriage.

Moreover, her goal had already been achieved; staying here was meaningless.

"The air of the Immortal Cultivation World is still better."

The Youming Fujun Princess should be a Ghost Cultivator as well, yet this girl in front of her was a Human Cultivator.

"Yes." Luo Yao shrugged and transmitted her voice, saying, "I am not from here; what am I doing staying here?"

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

And the City Lord of Youjing City, who had been thinking about how to communicate, was also somewhat stunned; the long speech he had constructed in his mind, he didn't know how to begin.

Luo Yao smiled, "Just good luck; I gained an opportunity."

The surrounding crowd also became curious; could this little girl be a high-ranking member of the Youming Fujun?

But that shouldn't be right; after all, her cultivation level was only the peak of Qi Refining.

Could it be that Xiao Yao was lying, and she's actually the Princess of Youjing?

"You…"

Xi Lan opened her mouth, but said nothing.

As time passed, the yin energy cloud continued to expand, and the crowd saw terrifying, monstrous yin beasts pulling a flying carriage.

Xi Lan had no objections—she dared come here not because she was overconfident in her skills, but because she had her own connections and had sensed the rumors, knowing the Ancient Battlefield was anything but calm.

Luo Yao had wanted to refuse, but she truly didn't know where the Taixu Sect's main mountain was.

Thus, the onlookers fell silent, stunned and bewildered.

"I think it's almost certainly a high-ranking official from Youjing!"

Xi Lan also saw Luo Yao flying toward her, her emotions complicated.

"How could it be Xiao Yao…"

But Luo Yao smiled and linked arms with her. "Didn't we agree to meet here? I was waiting for Lan Jie to take me away from this place."

Xi Lan was thrown into confusion—wasn't Xiao Yao supposed to be a disciple of the Taixu Sect?

Seeing Xi Lan unharmed, Luo Yao let out a sigh of relief, yet noticed her watching with complicated emotions.

Luo Yao, unaware of the others' thoughts, thanked the Fierce Ghost bodyguards who had escorted her, then flew toward Xi Lan.

Could it be that she is the legendary Princess of Youjing?

These dozen or so Fierce Ghost Realm experts could sweep through Youjing City.

After finally finding a town, the two enjoyed a lavish meal, then soaked in a comfortable bath.

Only then did they feel refreshed and continue their journey.

But before either could relax, an incident occurred on the road.
