n and only discussed cultivation matters with Princess Kexin. Though he doesn’t understand the Cloudy Soft Heart Sutra, he understands certain principles of martial arts. Once one principle is grasped...Chapter 503 Meeting of風雲際會1

After Xianyao's departure, Wang Yanyu left as well. Zhuque Lei霆 (Thunder) left even earlier than her and informed the Black Tortoise Ling Xiao about this news. The Black Tortoise remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

Seven days after Wang Yanyu's departure, Liuyue City seemed to have calmed down; no one talked about the impact Xianyao had caused anymore. In due course of time, perhaps everyone would forget about him.

Luo Yuntian went into seclusion at Luo Family’s training grounds, which was also where their true powerhouses resided. He had the qualifications to enter there. As long as he strove hard, Yun Qingyi seemed to have taken Silver Screen back to Feiyun Sect since Luo Yuntian and her had a big argument, though no one knew what they argued about.

The Luo Family did not feel particularly different regarding Yun Qingyi and her daughter’s departure for the Feiyun Sect; it was just visiting their relatives. They occasionally visited too, even if Luo Yuntian never went there himself.

Luo Yunqing watched these developments. He was very happy that Luo Yuntian had gone to train but might have thrown a grand banquet if not for the high cost involved.

Currently, Luo Yunqing still regretted that if Xianyao hadn't died, things would be heading in a direction favorable to their family’s interests.

Of course, regardless of his regrets and sorrow, he had to continue with his duties and not let personal feelings influence his official work. It was fine when he served as the family head since it involved just one clan's matters. Now that he became a king, he dealt with national affairs which required him to remain clear-headed and make fair and wise decisions.

At this moment, Luo Yunqing was holding court in the palace, discussing something when there was an uproar outside. Just as he wanted to ask what happened, Luo Juntao hurriedly entered.

Luo Juntao had been doing guard duty recently; his arrival meant that there was a problem with the guards.

"What is it" asked Luo Yunqing looking at Luo Juntao.

“Father, someone attacked the palace. The people outside can't hold them off anymore…” replied Luo Juntao, his face showing tension and some odd expression.

“Attack How many people, who are they” asked Luo Yunqing.

"One person, a young girl…" said Luo Juntao.

“What! A young girl” exclaimed Luo Yunqing in surprise; the others were also quite surprised. The guards outside weren't the strongest but still formidable and had a Saint rank backing them up. How could they be breached by one young girl

From timing, this seemed to have just started; it wasn’t long ago that they couldn't hold their ground anymore. Just how powerful was this girl.

"Yes, and she looks only a bit over twenty years old, younger than me," Luo Juntao nodded saying, which explained his odd expression because the situation seemed unbelievable.

“A bit over twenty Impossible, if you can’t hold her off, then she must already be Saint rank. I’ve never heard of such a thing…” frowned Luo Yunqing, "Go check it out!!"

The moment his words ended, he vanished towards the battle area where he sensed two Saint ranks fighting.

One of the Saint ranks he recognized as a member of the Luo Family; the other was very unfamiliar, could this be that girl

Luo Yunqing flew over to take a look and discovered something shocking. Even if Luo Juntao had warned him about this young girl, it still stunned him deeply.

This maiden possessed a face so beautiful she could shake the country; looking at her would leave one dumbfounded, even someone like Luo Yunqing was momentarily stunned. At the same time, she indeed looked only slightly over twenty years old, very young, but her power was frightening, Saint rank and not just that.

For someone of this age to enter Saint rank already seemed impossible; historically, there were few examples of people reaching Saint rank at such an age, perhaps less than a hundred combined. But she had only just entered the Saint realm.

This girl wasn't merely Saint rank; her strength even surpassed his own. If he couldn’t compete with Yun Tian (cloud sky), then his age and talent were not insignificant, being on the brink of mid-Saint.

Yet this maiden was better than him, which meant she had already entered late-Saint stage, an unbelievable feat indeed, no wonder they couldn't hold her off.

Luo Yunqing didn’t understand now; such a young girl should only be cultivated by some major forces. Had the Luo Family offended any force Was it perhaps the Dark Sect

No, this wasn’t like the Dark Sect because this maiden’s aura lacked demonic energy and her swordsmanship did not feel like dark path either.

Though sword skills aimed to kill, they had their own auras; some gave off righteous energy while others felt more sinister or even demonic.

This maiden's swordsmanship felt very righteous with delicate moves that left one convinced of its superiority when defeated by it and not feeling wronged.

But what kind of sword skill was this

Luo Yunqing wanted to infer the girl's background from her sword skills, but he couldn’t figure it out because he had never seen such sword techniques before.

At that moment, the girl’s sword suddenly slashed like a shooting star and broke through her opponent’s defense, pointing straight at their throat. However, she stopped without continuing, which could be described as “showing mercy.”

"Miss, may I ask where we have offended you" Luo Yunqing spoke up. Although he felt that his strength was inferior to the girl's, he still had enough self-defense skills and couldn’t wait for others to arrive before speaking; otherwise, it would weaken his aura.

"None!" The girl retracted her sword and looked at Luo Yunqing while answering. As she retracted her sword, her opponent also retreated behind Luo Yunqing.

Luo Yunqing was somewhat surprised as he watched the girl. He had thought of various possible answers from the girl, but he hadn’t expected her to answer “none.”

"If you haven’t been offended by us, why did you injure our people" Luo Yunqing pointed at the chaos behind the girl and asked. Those were all guards knocked down by the girl who were groaning on the ground, but none of them were in mortal danger.

"I wanted to come inside, they stopped me, so I had no choice but to hit them and break through." The girl looked at Luo Yunqing. "If you want to stop me, I’ll knock you down too!"

"Rude!"

"Let’s see how you knock my brother down! If your parents didn’t teach you manners, allow Third Lord to teach you!" At this moment, the Third Lord stepped forward and spoke in front of the girl.

The Third Lord was much stronger than Luo Yunqing. He was about to enter the peak Saint realm and should step into the divine realm within ten years. Although he would be older then, it still wouldn’t be bad if he could reach the divine realm.

It had to be said that apart from being a playboy, Third Lord also possessed terrifying talent.

"Chirp!"

The girl thrust her sword at the Third Lord. The attack was simple but incredibly fast, leaving the Third Lord somewhat unprepared and barely evading it.

"Girl, you sneak attacked me—looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson," the Third Lord said unhappily. How could someone start attacking without provocation It wasn’t much different from a sneak attack.

"You wanted to fight with me" The girl asked in confusion.

“…” The Third Lord was silent.

"Then I’ll start now, may I" the girl looked at the Third Lord and asked.

“…”

"Come!" The Third Lord beckoned. Although this girl’s words were somewhat provocative, he still needed to show some courtesy and let her attack first before retaliating.

"Swoosh!"

The girl slashed diagonally at the Third Lord again. It looked simple, but the Third Lord didn’t even think before countering it. However, he noticed that the girl’s sword somehow changed its trajectory and wasn’t broken by his counter, continuing to slash towards him.

What kind of sword technique was this It was too strange! His counter seemed completely useless; as if he hadn't made a move at all.

The Third Lord stepped back to dodge the sword strike and then tried to advance for an attack, but he found that the girl’s sword had already transitioned into another attack. He attempted to counter again, only to discover his counter was futile once more; her sword seemed to have passed through space without being obstructed.

This time, the Third Lord discovered some of its intricacies. He noticed that the girl's sword wasn’t actually in the spot where he thought it would be—it was an illusion caused by speed. At that moment, her sword was already at another position due to incredible velocity, creating lingering afterimages.

This kind of technique the Third Lord could also perform, but the issue was that he couldn't do it as seamlessly as this girl did; his fast moves would be noticeable, whereas hers were so imperceptible. Her sword appeared merely quick on the surface, but there was a brief pause between movements that merged into afterimages, making her actions impossible to detect.

This sword technique—it was too amazing!

After discovering this, the Third Lord felt he had the upper hand and could break the girl’s next move. However, unexpectedly, his next counterattack failed once more; the girl's techniques grew increasingly complex and varied, making it hard to predict.

The most astonishing part was that despite these changes, her technique still retained its initial effect—no one could discern where she paused in between movements. The Third Lord immediately felt frustrated as he realized he couldn’t regain his initiative; facing this girl who was so strong and had taken the initiative from him, there would be no opportunities to turn things around.

And what pained the Third Lord most was that he had given up the initiative himself. He thought a soon-to-be peak Saint like him taking on a late-stage Saint girl should have been an easy task.

Now, however, he found this far from true—this wasn’t going to be easy at all!
