Chapter 35 The Appearance of Qian Yunrou

Her calm voice carried no emotion.

As a figure slowly appeared, it astonished the entire Ancient City of Bright Moon.

The Linglong Holy Maiden, Qian Yunrou, had arrived.

She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her hands were as soft as silken floss, her skin as smooth as congealed fat. Her shoulders were perfectly sloped, her waist slender. Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her eyes autumn waters, her face a radiant moon. Like a lotus emerging from clear water, her bones were like ice and jade. Coupled with an otherworldly beauty that seemed untouched by worldly affairs, she was simply breathtaking.

Fortunately, upon reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, one no longer needed to breathe, otherwise, some might have suffocated to death.

This was why, at gatherings, people often gasped without any ill effects.

The appearance of the Linglong Holy Maiden drew countless gazes.

Even Zhang Yuanru was momentarily stunned.

Simply because the Linglong Holy Maiden was too beautiful.

The Yaoguang True Person, the Shumen Holy Son, and the Ziqing Holy Son all fixed their gazes upon the Linglong Holy Maiden, unable to look away.

"Zhang Yuanru of the Wuji Dao Sect greets the Linglong Holy Maiden."

The next moment, Zhang Yuanru regained his senses. He appeared polite and courteous, looking at the Linglong Holy Maiden with adoration in his eyes.

A graceful lady is a gentleman's pursuit. Cultivators are still human, and as humans, they naturally possess emotions and desires.

Some say a man only cares for power and glory, but that is only because he has not yet met someone he truly loves.

If one truly loves a woman, even the most beautiful kingdoms cannot compare to her smile.

Therefore, even a peerless genius like Zhang Yuanru possessed emotions and desires, and naturally treated the Linglong Holy Maiden with utmost respect.

However, the Linglong Holy Maiden's gaze was devoid of emotion, so calm that it did not waver in the slightest as she looked at Zhang Yuanru.

"I will fight for the Central Continent."

She spoke, her six simple words filled with immense dominance.

"Linglong Shimei, I don't fight women."

Zhang Yuanru said, a gentle smile on his face.

"Fight! Or not!"

The Linglong Holy Maiden said calmly, gazing at Zhang Yuanru as she spoke.

"Since Linglong Shimei is proactively requesting a battle, I cannot refuse. However, since Linglong Shimei is a woman, how about this? If Linglong Shimei can shake my precious pagoda, I will concede defeat, how does that sound?"

Zhang Yuanru said, displaying a sense of tenderness and pity, unwilling to truly fight the Linglong Holy Maiden.

However...

At that moment, the Linglong Holy Maiden raised her hand, and terrifying Daoist energy gathered, causing the spiritual energy to surge violently.

*Rumble!*

A palm strike!

With just a single palm strike, a seemingly casual attack from the Linglong Holy Maiden, she shattered space, directly smashing Zhang Yuanru's pagoda...

*Crack! Crack! Crack!*

The pagoda crumbled, and spiritual energy dissipated.

Everyone was stunned at that moment.

Not a single person was not shocked.

The Daoist energy pagoda that the Shumen Holy Son and the Ziqing Holy Son could not shake.

The pagoda that the Yaoguang True Person had to avoid.

Was shattered by the Linglong Holy Maiden with a single palm strike.

This was truly...astonishing.

"Is that enough?"

The Linglong Holy Maiden asked calmly.

She looked at Zhang Yuanru and spoke.

"I didn't expect the Central Continent's Holy Maiden to be even stronger than its Holy Sons! Does the Central Continent need a woman to maintain its reputation?"

Zhang Yuanru said. He was indeed shocked, but he quickly regained his composure.

"What's the point of saying so much! Fight or not!"

The Linglong Holy Maiden said, standing in the void and taking a step forward.

Terrifying Daoist techniques suppressed the area, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

No one expected that among the Ten Holy Sons, the Linglong Holy Maiden would be the strongest.

She actually shattered Zhang Yuanru's Daoist energy pagoda with a single palm strike.

"I can accept challenges from any Holy Son, but as for Linglong Shimei, let's just forget about it. There is no glory in defeating a woman."

Zhang Yuanru remained confident. Even after the Linglong Holy Maiden shattered his Daoist pagoda with a single palm strike, he remained confident.

"First! I am not your Linglong Shimei. Only Senior Brother Lu is permitted to call me Linglong Shimei."

"Second! If you wish to fight, then fight. Martial arts do not differentiate between men and women."

The Linglong Holy Maiden spoke. It was rare for her to say so much.

Especially her first sentence, which caused countless cultivators to lose their minds.

"Only Senior Brother Lu can call her Linglong Shimei? What does this mean?"

"Could it be that the Linglong Holy Maiden is truly with that Lu Changsheng?"

"My youth is gone."

"Hehe, my love is gone."

"The most painful thing in life is when it ends before it even begins."

"Wuwuwu, no! Holy Maiden, you are pure and immaculate, it's impossible for you to have someone you like."

Within the Ancient City of Bright Moon, countless cries rang out. Not to mention the cultivators from the Central Continent, even the cultivators from the Eastern Lands, Southern Ridge, and Northern Poles were all weeping.

The Linglong Holy Maiden, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, was not just a compliment.

How many people in the world were enamored with her?

It was just a pity that the beauty already had someone she loved, how could they not be in immense pain?

Some even could not help but ask.

"May I ask the Holy Maiden, have you truly cultivated with Lu Changsheng?"

Someone asked, unable to resist asking.

"Don't ask, I don't want to hear it."

"I won't listen, I won't listen."

"Why are you asking this, do you want us to be even more heartbroken?"

Many cultivators cried out in anger, while others covered their ears, unwilling to accept it.

"Yes!"

The Linglong Holy Maiden calmly nodded her head.

As she answered, she could not help but recall what her master had instructed.

"Yunrou, if someone asks you if you have cultivated with Lu Changsheng, you only need to answer yes, understand?"

Although Qian Yunrou did not know what dual cultivation meant, she would carry out any instructions from her master.

At that moment, many people were indeed shocked.

Even the Shumen Holy Son and the Ziqing Holy Son were stunned in place.

The Yaoguang True Person stood there in a daze, his eyes filled with sorrow.

It was clear that he was indeed fond of the Linglong Holy Maiden, because since the Linglong Holy Maiden appeared, the Yaoguang True Person's gaze had not moved.

"Why! Why! Why!" The Yaoguang True Person collapsed to the ground, dazed and in disbelief. But in the end, he gave a bitter smile, looked at the Linglong Holy Maiden in the void, and choked up as he said, "Holy Maiden Yunrou, I wish you happiness."

After saying these words, he got up and left, staggering as he walked, clearly having suffered an unspeakable blow.

The Shumen Holy Son and the Ziqing Holy Son sighed.

"Fortunately, we have met Senior Brother Lu, so we don't feel as disappointed."

"Yes, it's good that we have met Senior Brother Lu, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to accept this fact either."

The two said to each other.

And Zhang Yuanru, after receiving this news, was also stunned for a moment. In the end, he shook his head and slowly said, "Then he's finished! My friend, Li Rulong, has a great fondness for you, Holy Maiden. If he learns of this, I'm afraid something big will happen at this Grand Meet of Geniuses!"

Zhang Yuanru said this.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared and reappeared in the Ancient City of Bright Moon. He still did not choose to fight the Linglong Holy Maiden.

Whether he could win or not, no one knew.

Because they did not truly fight.

But what could be known was that the Linglong Holy Maiden was very strong.

A disturbance ended there. Although the Linglong Holy Maiden appeared and resolved the crisis, the Central Continent had indeed suffered a loss.

Zhang Yuanru suppressed three Holy Sons, and he did not truly fight the Linglong Holy Maiden, so it could not be proven who was stronger.

It could be said that the Central Continent's geniuses were suppressed.

But because the Linglong Holy Maiden personally admitted to cultivating with Lu Changsheng, the focus of the crowd was no longer on the battle just now.

Meanwhile.

In a great mountain.

A voice slowly rang out.

"I can confirm that the divine beast is nearby. Eldest brother, quickly set up the formation, don't let that fellow run away!"

The voice rang out.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was on his way to the grand meet.

At the same time, he was planning to catch another divine beast as a mount.
