Chapter 428: Saint Land Arrival (Part 2)

"Haha," Feng Hengkong stood up and cupped his hand towards Ling Kun. "Elder Ling, it's been twenty-five years. I trust you are well."

"It's him again from the Heavenly Sword Villa," Feng Zhanyun murmured softly.

"Again? So, it was him last time too?" Yun Che asked.

"That's right. People from the Heavenly Sword Villa are said to cultivate swords in peace, but Ling Kun often travels among the Seven Nations of Profound Sky. He spends the most time outside the Heavenly Sword Villa. Although his status there isn't particularly high, he seems to be highly regarded by the Sword Master," Feng Zhanyun explained methodically.

Ling Kun also waved to Feng Hengkong. "Naturally, I am well. However, Sect Master Feng's aura has grown increasingly profound. I am far from your equal."

"Haha, Elder Ling is too humble," Feng Hengkong said with a faint smile, then changed the subject. "Elder Ling, is the Young Palace Master Ye accompanying you?"

As soonong as Feng Hengkong finished speaking, the expressions of the Phoenix elders behind him subtly changed, and they all looked up.

"Hahahaha!"

Another loud laugh came from high above. This laugh wasn't as imposing as Ling Kun's, but it was arrogant and unrestrained. Few people across the entire Profound Sky Continent dared to laugh so brazenly on the Phoenix Divine Sect's territory. Amidst the boisterous laughter, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the empty sky, like a radiant sun. On the other side, an equally brilliant crescent moon materialized, a sun and a moon that instantly stole all the light from the space.

From within the light of the sun and crescent moon, a young man slowly emerged. Dressed in white, he had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a face like white jade. His long, slanted eyebrows extended into his hairline, and a faint, sinister smile — or more precisely, a lewd smile — played on his face. He made no attempt to conceal his lascivious nature.

He spread his arms, and immediately, two captivating women emerged from the light. Twisting their supple, snake-like waists, they flung themselves into his embrace, one on each side. The man laughed loudly. Under the illumination of the sun and moon, his robes billowed as he slowly descended, embracing the two women. He continuously moved his hands over their bodies, as if in a private chamber. The two alluring women writhed and moaned under his touch.

"This man..." Yun Che frowned deeply, not because of the man's utterly indecent behavior in public, but because he sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from him.

People who appear flamboyant and debauched are often useless good-for-nothings, easy to deal with... but this was entirely untrue for this man! The sense of danger his aura conveyed to Yun Che was overwhelmingly strong.

"As expected of the Phoenix Sect Master, my small tricks are truly insignificant before you." As the young man landed, the light of the sun and moon finally dissipated. However, he didn't land in his designated seat but in front of the Phoenix Divine Sect's seating area, less than ten steps away from Feng Hengkong and Feng Xue'er. He released the two women, took a step forward, slightly raised a hand, and narrowed his eyes. "Ye Xinghan of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall greets Sect Master Feng. I have long heard of your esteemed reputation, and it is my great fortune to meet you today."

"What? Ye Xinghan!?"

Hearing the young man state his name, a wave of gasps erupted among the seated guests. This was the name of the Young Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall! The Sun and Moon Divine Hall had sent their Young Palace Master this time!

Although Feng Hengkong had long heard that Ye Xinghan indulged in women, he hadn't expected him to be so dissolute. He smiled faintly and said, "The Young Palace Master exaggerates. It is your name that truly resounds like thunder, and meeting you today surpasses all renown... The Young Palace Master's seat is to Elder Ling's right. Please, esteemed guests, take your seats."

"No rush," Ye Xinghan replied languidly. His gaze shifted, falling upon Feng Xue'er. His long, narrow eyes immediately narrowed, emitting an intense, burning light...

In his life, Ye Xinghan had entertained countless women, and those who caught his eye were always one in a thousand in terms of appearance and physique. He possessed an extremely high immunity to women's looks and charm, yet the moment he saw Feng Xue'er, he felt his entire body's blood begin to boil, every cell in his body throbbing wildly.

For the first time in his life, Ye Xinghan felt that even though she was right before him, he couldn't believe she truly existed. He couldn't even imagine what kind of divine beauty lay beneath such an ethereal aura. An unprecedented possessiveness wildly grew and swelled in his chest and soul... Moreover, her physique was unparalleled in the world...

She was simply the most perfect woman in the world, the most perfect cauldron!

"Could this Phoenix fairy be Princess Snow, known as the most beautiful woman in Profound Sky?" Ye Xinghan stared at Feng Xue'er, his eyes narrowed as he spoke. Everyone knew of Princess Snow's name, and everyone knew the extent to which the Phoenix Divine Sect protected her. Therefore, no matter how many thoughts one had about Princess Snow, they absolutely should not, and dared not, reveal them in front of Feng Hengkong and the leaders of the Phoenix Divine Sect. Yet, Ye Xinghan's gaze was like a wolf's, and with a flick of his wrist, he made no attempt to conceal his fiery ardor... It was unclear if he was consumed by lust, or if he simply had no fear of the Phoenix Divine Sect's wrath.

The faces of the Phoenix Divine Sect's elders and disciples turned furious. Several core disciples were already seething with rage, clenching their fists, wishing they could immediately rush forward and fight Ye Xinghan to the death. Princess Snow was the jewel of their Phoenix Divine Sect, a sacred fairy in the heart of every one of them. They would never permit anyone to defile or offend her... not even with a gaze or words!

"This bastard... he's asking for death!!" Feng Ximing clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking. The other princes were similarly gritting their teeth... but the identity of "Young Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall" meant that even in their extreme anger, they dared not make a move... That was the Young Palace Master of a Sacred Ground! The future master of a Sacred Ground!

If they openly conflicted with Ye Xinghan, it would undoubtedly be a direct conflict with the entire Sun and Moon Divine Hall! Although the Phoenix Divine Sect was the largest sect in Profound Sky, it didn't possess the courage to openly defy a Sacred Ground... unless absolutely forced to.

Feng Hengkong, however, remained calm. He said to Feng Xue'er, "Xue'er, this is Ye Xinghan, the Young Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall from the Sacred Grounds. Although he is notoriously lustful and seeks constant female companionship, he is still a rare young talent. Greet him."

Feng Hengkong's words were difficult to interpret as praise or criticism, but his extremely flat tone subtly revealed his suppressed anger.

Feng Xue'er stood up and gracefully curtsied. "Xue'er greets Young Palace Master Ye."

Feng Xue'er's voice was soft as water, ethereal as clouds, stirring Ye Xinghan's heart and soul. He stared at her, smiling as he said, "Sister Xue'er, you're being too formal. 'Young Palace Master Ye' is so boring and distant. Just call me Brother Ye. Sister Xue'er's voice is like that of a fairy, incredibly beautiful. And since you're called the most beautiful woman in Profound Sky, your face must be devastatingly peerless. I wonder if I might have the honor of glimpsing Sister Xue'er's immortal countenance?"

"Crack!"

The seat beneath Feng Ximing suddenly cracked, a deep mark appearing. He clenched his teeth and was about to stand, but a large hand immediately pulled him back. Feng Feiyan held him down, whispering, "Don't get angry. How could the Sect Master let him lay a finger on Xue'er?"

Feng Ximing's chest heaved, his eyes bloodshot, but he managed to suppress his fury, forcing himself not to erupt again.

Feng Xue'er replied softly and calmly, "Please forgive Xue'er's refusal. Xue'er's appearance is plain and unworthy of Young Palace Master Ye's gaze."

Ye Xinghan burst out laughing. "If the appearance of the most beautiful woman in the world can be called 'plain,' then there are no beautiful women left in this world. Since Sister Xue'er is unwilling... so be it. This place is filled with prying eyes; how could Sister Xue'er's immortal countenance be defiled by the gazes of common mortals? Wouldn't it be far more beautiful to appreciate it alone with Sister Xue'er under the moonlight another day... Hahahaha!"

With an unrestrained laugh, Ye Xinghan turned, embraced the two women, and sauntered towards his seat. However, after witnessing Feng Xue'er's ethereal, dream-like grace, he found the two charming, flower-like women beside him utterly crude by comparison, losing all desire to touch them.

"That bastard... if he dares harm Princess Snow, even if he's the Young Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall, I'll fight him to the death!!" Feng Zhanyun clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, glaring fixedly at Ye Xinghan, his gaze like that of someone looking at a sworn enemy.

"Jasmine, what is Ye Xinghan's strength?" Yun Che whispered.

"Mid-stage Tyrant Profound Realm. He is someone you absolutely cannot provoke! Even the two women by his side are high-level Monarchs! You would pay a significant price to defeat either of them," Jasmine warned coldly. "The level of the Four Sacred Grounds is something you are currently not qualified to touch. Do not overestimate yourself and court death."

Yun Che remained silent, his expression grim.

As soon as Ye Xinghan took his seat, Ling Kun moved closer and said in an extremely low voice, "Young Palace Master, it seems your purpose in coming personally is indeed Princess Snow."

Ye Xinghan's hand slipped into the cleavage of the woman on his right, kneading wantonly, his eyes demonic and lewd. "The moment I saw her, I knew the title 'most beautiful woman in Profound Sky' was truly well-deserved. Only today did I discover that such a perfect woman exists in this world, capable of captivating me with just her figure and aura... Heh!"

"It seems the Young Palace Master is determined to have her," Ling Kun said with a faint smile. "However, you seem a bit too eager. At the Phoenix Divine Sect, Princess Snow is arguably the greatest taboo!"

"Too eager? Hahahaha!" Ye Xinghan burst into wild laughter. "In my world, Ye Xinghan's, there is no such thing as 'too eager'! The woman I desire—does the Phoenix Divine Sect truly believe it can stop me!?"

Ye Xinghan extended a slender finger, tracing the waistline of the woman on his lap, a dangerous smile appearing on his face. "Elder Ling, do you believe... that within three days, this Princess Snow will entirely become my woman, Ye Xinghan's? Her body, her bloodline... they will forever belong to me. Even if the Phoenix Divine Sect doesn't acknowledge it, they will have to!"

Ling Kun's eyelids twitched... Ye Xinghan's words were never baseless boasts. If he dared to say it, he had absolute certainty. He lowered his voice again, joining the laughter. "Of course, I believe the Young Palace Master's words wholeheartedly. Then, allow me to congratulate you in advance, Young Palace Master."

Ye Xinghan slanted his eyes, looking at Ling Kun. "The woman with the 'Nine Profound Exquisite Body'... Elder Ling hasn't forgotten her, have you?"

"Heh, how could this old man forget such a matter? It's just... the three catties of Violet Vein Divine Crystals that were promised, I wonder, Young Palace Master..."

"Don't worry, the legendary Nine Profound Exquisite Body... it's worth not just three catties of Violet Vein Divine Crystals, but thirty! However, Elder Ling should also know that Violet Vein Divine Crystals are incredibly hard to find, and I use a good deal of them regularly. Over the past two years, I've only managed to accumulate two catties."

Ye Xinghan took out a shimmering purple spatial ring. "Inside here are two catties of Violet Vein Divine Crystals. I wonder how much information about that woman these two catties of Violet Vein Divine Crystals can acquire?"
