Hearing that, everyone’s faces turned pale, their eyes filled with anger.
“Son of a bitch!”
Ming Li slammed his hands on the table and stood up suddenly. “What kind of bullshit holy land is this! It’s just a bunch of beasts in human form!”
As a member of the ghost race, he indeed already had no good intentions towards cultivators who claimed to be pious, and now, after hearing what the temple had done, he became even more furious.
Liu Qianqian was shaking with anger: “How could they do this?! They promised to save people, but instead they turned around and hurt them! Are they even human?!”
Long Zhan remained silent, but a cold killing intent radiated from his dragon eyes.
Chen Wanqing’s eyes were already red.
Seeing David’s pale face, he felt an indescribable heartache.
“David” he muttered, but didn’t know what to say.
David waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
“I was able to come back alive this time thanks to Yun Yao and the girl named Yun Xi.”
He looked at Yun Yao, a glimmer of gratitude flashed in his eyes, “If it wasn’t for Yun Yao risking her life to save me, and if it wasn’t for Yun Xi appearing in time, I’m afraid I would have perished in the Holy Land of Light.”
All eyes fell on Yun Yao.
Yun Yao immediately stood up and bowed slightly to everyone: “Yun Yao greets everyone.”
Seeing him, Chen Wanqing felt a wave of bitterness rise in her heart again.
However, she immediately suppressed her emotions, stood up, walked to Yun Yao, held her hand, and said sincerely, “Miss Yun Yao, thank you for saving David. I, Chen Wanqing, will remember this kindness.”
Yun Yao looked at him and felt the sincerity in his eyes. His heart warmed slightly, and he shook his head: “Sister, you are too kind. It was Young Master who saved me first. I only did what I should do.”
Upon hearing the word “sister,” Chen Wanqing felt a wave of bitterness subside, and a smile appeared on her face.
David looked at Long Zhan and asked, “Long Zhan, what happened in Yunxian City while I was away?”
Long Zhan quickly calmed himself down and said solemnly, “Your Majesty, everything is fine in Yunxian City. The temple didn’t come to make trouble, and the Demonic Dragon lineage didn’t make any movements. The originally restless troops have all become obedient after being intimidated by us.”
He paused, then continued, “However, my spies reported that the temple seems to be quietly gathering manpower lately, and I don’t know what they are planning. There are also unusual movements from the Demon Dragon bloodline, as if they are waiting for something.”
David frowned slightly and nodded.
“Continue to monitor the situation and report any developments immediately.”
“Yes!”
David then looked at Ming Li and Liu Qianqian and asked, “What about you two? Have you discovered anything during this time?”
Ming Li shook his head: “Qianqian and I stayed in this city, helping Long Zhan with some miscellaneous matters. We haven’t encountered anything special.”
Liu Qianqian also nodded.
David nodded in agreement, looked at Yun Yao, and introduced her to everyone: “Miss Yun Yao comes from the Holy Realm of Light. She was forced by the Pure Saint Sect and was almost forced to dual cultivate with someone. I saved her, and she ran away with me. This time I owe her my life.”
Everyone nodded in greeting to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao was a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly red.
David was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Ming Li.
“By the way, Mingli, there is something I need to ask you.”
Ming Li was surprised: “Mr. Chen, please speak.”
David asked, “Do you know about the Ghost Clan of the Fifteenth Heaven?”
Ming Li was shocked.
“Fifteenth heaven?”
He frowned and shook his head. “I don’t know. Even though I’m from the Ghost Clan, I’m not familiar with the situation on Fifteenth Heaven.”
He paused, then asked, “Why are you suddenly asking this, Mr. Chen?”
David said, “The woman who saved me was called Yun Xi. She said that she was a princess of the Ghost Clan of the Fifteenth Heaven, and came to the Fourteenth Heaven because she felt the aura of the Reincarnation Gate.”
Ming Li’s expression changed.
Reincarnation Gate?!
He was very familiar with that item.
He became the Lord of Reincarnation on the Twelfth Heaven only because of the Gate of Reincarnation.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and said in a deep voice, “Master Chen, it seems that the Ghost Clan of the Fifteenth Heaven is very powerful. They were able to sense the trace of the Reincarnation Gate remaining in my body.”
David nodded. “That’s right. Yun Xi seems to be at the True God Realm, so her clan’s strength must be very great.”
“Miss Yunxi has saved me, and I have invited her to Yunxian City. If she comes again in the future, you must not ignore her.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Ming Li’s eyes.
As a fellow member of the ghost race, he was filled with curiosity about this princess of the fifteenth heaven.
