Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 321: Purple Rhyme Heavenly City

    

e suitable for overnighting. We'll hold out for one night, and we'll leave as soon as dawn breaks tomorrow."Yes, Miss!Liang Chen then tucked Xiao Hui back into his arms and went to prepare for camping...After half a month of arduous journey, Lian Yi's party finally arrived at the city where Ziyun Palace was located. Ziyuntai City was a prosperous city because the existence of Ziyun Palace made Taoism flourish here, and many Taoist priests came and went.

They were queuing to enter the city, looking at the towering city walls before them and the long lines of people. But Lianyi felt a sense of fear.

Luo Ying looked at her young mistress's furrowed brow and softly asked,

"Miss, but what is wrong"

Ripples didn't say anything, she just shook her head.

At this time, Worry-Free arrived with the Abundance Field, coming to Ripple's carriage and bowing. He said:

"Miss Lu Yao, someone from the Ziyun Palace has come to escort us into the city. Please follow me through the other entrance."

Ripple nodded her head, then after a moment said:

"Please wait a moment, Daoist friend."

Then she directly called Wen Lu and Wu Meng over. Their relationship was no longer a secret, ever since Lian Yi had spoken with Min Min, she had a long talk with her own mother, and then Wen Lu accepted Wu Meng's pursuit.

After that, Wu Meng was always cheerful and took good care of Wen Lu and her mother. He was often teased by the other guards, but it was a good thing overall.

Ripple was also happy about this, saying that she would help them plan the wedding after her travels were over. Wenlu didn't hesitate and readily accepted. She even confided in Ripple that she wasn't eager to marry just because the other party proposed; she wanted to use this opportunity to travel and really test Wu Meng. Ripple agreed, after all, time reveals the true nature of a person.

When the ripples brought the two of them back to the present, Lian Yi went straight to the point:

"This time, I'm not planning to bring any of you into Ziyin Heavenly City. After I enter the city, I will go directly to Ziyun Palace to stay temporarily. You go to the last village we stayed in and wait for me. When everything here is dealt with, I will meet up with you."

"Miss, this is not proper! You cannot be alone like this."

Wenlu immediately objected.

"Yes, Miss. At least bring Luo Ying and Luo Huai along."

Wu Meng also disapproves of Lian Yi's decision.

"This time, you don't have to argue with me. Just obey orders. There is something wrong with this Ziyun Heavenly City, and it's not something you can handle. To avoid adding burden to me, it's best for you to stay in a safe place."

Wen Lu and Wu Meng exchanged a glance, bowed to each other in response, and said nothing more.

Before leaving, Chu Liangchen entrusted Xiao Hui to Lianyi.

"Miss, since you won't let us follow, there must be something important going on. If there's anything we can do, please have Xiao Hui bring the message back to me."

This time, Lian Yi didn't refuse. She directly put Xiao Hui into her sleeve and then waved at everyone before following the Wu You master and apprentice towards the entrance on the other side.

Feng Yu really couldn't hold back, so he asked:

"Lu Yao Fairy, why don't you let your attendants follow"

There are some matters that need them to attend to, and besides, Ziyungu Palace is a place of cultivation and it's inconvenient to accommodate them.

Ripple smiled and replied.

Actually, Wuyou wanted to say that he had already explained in the letter that the sect should have been prepared for their arrival. It was just that they had become one person at this time. However, he knew that this Lu Yao Fairy always acted on impulse, so he didn't ask further.

Upon entering Ziyun Heavenly City, Lianyi shielded her eyes with her veil and surveyed the surroundings. Although the scene was bustling with activity, she felt something strange about it.

We walked with Wuyou all the way to the center of Ziyuntian City. In front of us stood a purple stone tablet, as tall as a person, inscribed with the three majestic characters "Ziyun Palace".

"Master Wuyou, you're back!"

A tall man in a purple Daoist robe walked out, smiling and greeting his junior brother, but his eyes glanced towards the ripples beside him.

"I appreciate Senior Brother's kindness in coming out to meet me. This is Lu Yao, the Daoist friend I mentioned in my letter. She is also a true practitioner of the Xuan Men. She is traveling outside on a journey and coincidentally met me, so we decided to travel together. We specially came to visit Ziyun Palace."

"Greetings, Lu Yao! I am Wu Yong."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, fellow traveler!"

The ripples also politely returned a courtesy.

Come in!

There was no need to be curious about this Lu Yao fairy, so without further ado, he brought her into the house.

"Please forgive Lu Yao's ignorance. I originally thought that Ziyungong would be built on a mountaintop filled with spiritual energy, but I didn't expect it to be hidden within the midst of human life."

The ruins of Ziyungong are indeed located in the Yunling Mountain range, but after Taoism emerged, my master said that we cultivators shouldn't completely detach from the world. Entering the world is also a form of cultivation.

Wu Yong smiled and said.

This way!

Her ripples nodded along, but she didn't agree with what the other person said.

After entering the three courtyards, Lian Ri finally arrived at the reception hall of Ziyungong. There were quite a few people gathered here.

Wuyou saw a woman in purple at the top and immediately stepped forward to pay her respects:

"I've met Master Zi Dai!"

Last year, the woman named Zi Dai, who was about thirty years old, slightly nodded her head and turned her gaze to Lian Yi, who was beside Wu You.

"Excuse me, young friend, are you the Lu Yao Daoist mentioned in your letter"

"That's right!"

Wuyou immediately introduced both parties to each other.

Ripple took off his hat and surveyed the room, smiling as he spoke:

"I've heard much about the great reputation of Ziyungong. Seeing it today, its fame is well-deserved! Luo Yao offers her greetings."

Zi Dai was a little surprised. Although she learned from Wu You's letter that this Lu Yao Dao friend's cultivation level could rival that of her senior brother Zi Yun, she didn't expect the other party to be so young and beautiful.

"Lü Yáo, Daoist friend, you are too kind. It's just empty titles. Please sit down!"

Purple Dai politely declined.

After the ripples settled, he got straight to the point:

"Zǐ Dài, I wonder if Wú Yōu has told the sect about everything that happened to us on our journey"

Just said part of it.

"Wuyou Dao friend, please tell me more about it!"

Ringlets smiled and said.

Wuyou nodded and began with the massacre at Li Manor in the capital. When he mentioned the missing Miss Li, he glanced at Lianyi, who was sipping her tea.

“I am indeed Miss Li, Wu Lianyi!”

Ripples put down her teacup and said faintly.

"Why did all the members of the Li family die from being backlashed by evil magic, Daoist Lu Yao"

Why not save them

Ripple took over Wuyou's question, smiled faintly, and continued:

Because I was right in the center of that evil formation at the time!

They wanted to seize the Wu family's fortune and couldn't tolerate me, an orphaned girl. They even hired a demonic sorcerer from somewhere to try and possess me!

On that day, I did not possess the cultivation level I have now. While fighting against the spirit of a demonic cultivator named Tong Hui within the evil formation, I had no ability to spare any attention for them.

If they had not appeared around the evil formation, they could have survived. However, they were too greedy and wanted to know the location of Wu's family wealth immediately, so they all stayed there, resulting in being drained of their life force by the demonic cultivator and dying a pointless death.

Ripples spread his hands and explained.

Wuyou listened, her eyes widening for a moment before she quickly schooled her expression. When she looked up again, she asked:

When I was in Shuangqizhen, I saw Daoist Guan Luyao suppress evil spirits with a relic.
