Leroy had no choice but to accept her offer.
After so many years, with his heart vein broken, he could no longer cultivate. He had no other choice but to seek refuge with the Fuyao Palace.
Lydia looked pale; she stopped and said, “Father, 1’ m too tired to move anymore.”
“That’s fine. I can carry you on my back,” Leroy said while he bent down toward his daughter.
Leroy had been a cruel person to everyone else, but he was a kind father to his daughter.
Lydia was delighted. She climbed onto her father’s back.
Leroy could barely hang on too, but he had to go on if he wanted to live.
After a full day and night on the run, Leroy finally arrived at the mountains.
The mountains were really high; some clouds gathered around it.
There was a grand palace on top of the hill.
It was the Fuyao Palace.
Leroy was delighted to see it; he followed a trail up the hill.
After he walked a dozen steps, he arrived at an entrance. A sign stood over the gate, ‘None Fuyao members will be killed upon entry’.
It was written with red ink; it looked impressive!
“Father, it says that trespassers will be killed,” Lydia said as she held onto Leroy’s arm.
Leroy comforted her. “Don’t worry, Lydia.”
It was true; all strangers would be killed if they were to go into the palace compound. However, he had the jade that was given by a Palace Master. He would be able to enter the palace with it.
• • • In the Main Flower Hall at the Fuyao Palace.
The Main Flower hall was where meetings were held. The hall took the shape of a lily, and it looked impressive.
There were seven golden Phoenix Chairs in the hall, with seven beautiful ladies on each of them. All of them looked very attractive; they were all beautiful in their own ways.
Those seven ladies were the seven Palace Masters— the Seven Fairies.
All of them were still young women. The eldest Palace Master was Cindy White, and she was only in her mid-thirties, while the youngest fairy was Irene, who was only twenty years old.
Even though they were young, they were all martial saints. The eldest Palace Master was at the peak of Level Five Martian Saints—just a step away from the Martial Emperor.
The Fuyao Palace had incredible power. They could take down any sect that they wanted.
The seven fairies had gathered to share their cultivation experiences.
