From the horizon came over a hundred Golden Core Stage Practitioners flying on their swords, the terrifying fluctuation of their energy immediately causing numerous to gaze at them in astonishment.

Even some powerful Practitioners among the elders and Sect Masters on the Cloud Platform, altered their expressions, looking upwards in an – state – of – uncertainty.

Hua Youyue stopped in her tracks, furrowed her eyebrows slightly and questioned, “Why are so many Golden Core Stage Practitioners showing up here?”

The expression on Lan Fangyue's face was equally grave. She muttered, “Could it be related to the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower?”

Hua Youyue nodded in agreement, “It should be. Although Golden Core Stage Practitioners acquire limited benefits from cultivating in the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, the Ninth Layer seal of the Exquisite Tower is on the verge of shattering. It might lead to some unexpected events. I'm just wondering who is confident enough to send so many Golden Core Stage Practitioners?”

Yang Zhen, still hanging on Hua Youyue, slightly turned his head to glance at the Golden Core Stage Practitioners who were flying on their swords. He quickly turned back, burying his face and grumbled, “Ouch, my head hurts. It hurts so much.”

Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen speechlessly. Just as she was about to say something, two men swiftly flew from the direction of Flame City. They landed beside Hua Youyue, glanced at Yang Zhen with a strange look on their faces, then respectfully said, “Tower Master, according to reliable sources, the priest of Dajiang Country has predicted that the Ninth Layer of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower would open. The Destiny Flower might appear in the Nine-layer World!”

“What?”

Both Hua Youyue and Lan Fangyue exclaimed in surprise. The former pondered and said, “If this information is reliable, the trials of the three countries in the region might undergo some changes. The Destiny Flower is so valuable that it can incite the covetous desires of all sects from the three countries.”

Lan Fangyue nodded, then asked, “So, what should we do?”

Hua Youyue replied in a deep voice, “Master Fang, you go back and gather our people. Order all of Changyue Tower's Golden Core Stage Practitioners to head to the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower!”

“Yes!”

Master Fang bowed in acceptance of the order, then turned to look at Yang Zhen on Hua Youyue's body, wanting to say something but held back.

Yang Zhen looked up, a puzzled expression on his face, “What is the Destiny Flower?”

“Aren't you going to get down?” Hua Youyue stared at Yang Zhen with a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment.

“Ouch, my head…”

“If you don't get down, I am going to leave you here.”

“No please, I have offended many people for the sake of Changyue Tower, if you leave me here, what if that old Lama and the old white-faced man decide to kill me?”

Hua Youyue was momentarily stunned and looked helplessly at Yang Zhen.

The term “old Lama” was fitting for the bald-headed middle-aged man, as for the “old white-faced man”… if that gentleman heard this, even with Hua Youyue defending Yang Zhen, he would still likely pick a fight with him.

Lan Fangyue was laughing secretly on the side, and then she explained, “The Destiny Flower is one of the three divine flowers in the world. It is said to be a mark left by a fallen powerful Spirit Soul, more akin to a legacy. There was someone who once comprehended a killing move from it, which was incredibly potent and almost allowed him to kill those beyond his level!”

Upon hearing the concept of “killing those beyond one's level”, Yang Zhen immediately jumped off Hua Youyue. His eyes shone as he exclaimed, “What are we waiting for then? Let's get there quickly! The trials of the three countries can go to hell, by now I reckon a lot of people have their eyes on that flower, if we go too late we might miss it.”

Hua Youyue glanced at Yang Zhen and retorted annoingly, “Do you really think the Destiny Flower is so easy to obtain?”

Lan Fangyue also couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile, “The Destiny Flower is the most sentient flower in the world, unless you have great fortune, you won't get any inherited knowledge from it, let alone see it. Some people live their entire lives knowing this flower exists yet never getting a glimpse of it.”

Yang Zhen was stupefied. He watched in amazement as he asked, “Is the flower really that impressive?”

Lan Fangyue found Yang Zhen's reaction amusing and laughed before saying, “Could it be more formidable than you? You dare to curse even a Nascent Soul Status Expert! I advise you not to hold too much hope. Right now, the Golden Core Stage experts are hurrying here, but we may not necessarily be able to enter the Ninth Layer.”

Yang Zhen pouted, “We at least have to try. What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?”

“What's a salted fish?” Lan Fangyue asked, puzzled at the term.

Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively, glanced at the Golden Core Stage Practitioners who were getting closer, and explained, “It's a type of pickled fish from our hometown. It's very delicious. I'll cook it for you one day!”

“Is it as tasty as that cumin lamb?” Lan Fangyue asked, her eyes sparkling.

“Of course!”

Gulp!

Lan Fangyue swallowed hard.

At that moment, the Golden Core Stage practitioners in the distance descended onto the bright peak. After exchanging greetings with the various sect masters and elders, their faces changed swiftly.

A young lama at the Golden Core Stage rushed to Yun Jie's side and asked in alarm, “Junior Brother, how did you get injured like this?”

Yun Jie gave Yang Zhen a cold glance, and upon seeing Yang Zhen was still winking at him, he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood again.

“Did that kid injure you?” The lama's aura fluctuated, and the surrounding temperature plummeted instantly.

At the same time, a young man with a feather fan and a turban came to Zeng Bishu. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Why is Junior Brother Zeng so severely injured?”

Zeng Bishu likewise took a deep breath, and glared at Yang Zhen with a face full of resentment.

A smirk appeared at the corner of Hua Youyue's mouth. She looked at Yang Zhen and said, “It appears you may be in some trouble!”

Yang Zhen slid behind Hua Youyue, pulling on her clothes, and said, “You have to protect me. I offended these people for the sake of Changyue Tower. Now their senior brothers are here, Golden Core Stages, too scary.”

Hua Youyue pulled her clothes from Yang Zhen's grasp and said, “I didn't ask you to be so extreme.”

Ouch?

Burned the bridge after crossing it?

Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, he saw the expression on Hua Youyue's face. He was surprised to know that Hua Youyue was also capable of joking.

From the beginning until now, Hua Youyue had shown immense concern for him. If anyone tried to harm him at this moment, Hua Youyue would presumably be the first to object. However, this made Yang Zhen feel even stranger about her.

Yang Zhen pondered the inscrutable young woman before him. She must be hiding some dark secret. Seeing Hua Youyue's ambiguous smile, he hummed inwardly.

“Yang Zhen, come out!”

A tender reprimand echoed through the crowd. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat as they followed the sound. What they found startled them.

A young woman with phoenix-like eyes and slender eyebrows strode forth, sword in hand. Her gaze was icy and indifferent. Ignoring the persuasion of her peers, she walked towards Yang Zhen.

Along the way, everyone turned to look at Yang Zhen, their faces becoming odd.

Yang Zhen also looked back, and asked in confusion, “Who is Yang Zhen? Is there someone with that name here?”

The young woman stumbled, then gritting her silver teeth, pointed her longsword at Yang Zhen and said, “Yang Zhen, you are supposed to be a man, are you not? Dare to do but not ready to take the consequences?”

Yang Zhen made a small “Oh” sound, then said indifferently, “I don't want to listen to what this old woman has to say. What do you mean 'dare to do but not ready to take the consequences'? I haven't done anything to incur heaven and earth's wrath. Are all of you from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers unreasonable?”

“You!” The young woman's face suddenly turned livid. She pointed at Yang Zhen, too furious to speak.

All the people around could only stare at Yang Zhen in shock. There stood the young woman, although a Golden Core Stage expert of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and barely twenty something years old, was actually called an 'old woman' by Yang Zhen?

Boom!

Her body suddenly exploded with a terrifying surge of vital energy. Her sword's icy light gleamed drastically, and she charged at Yang Zhen.

“Arrogant boy, do you really think I won't dare to kill you here?”

“Presumptuous!”

Hua Youyue gave a cold snort. Without making any visible move, the young woman suddenly cried out in alarm and stumbled backward.

“A….A Nascent Soul Stage Expert?”
