Chapter 333: Jade Altar Blissful Land Closes! A Love Story Abruptly Ends!

In the eyes of the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, the immortal inheritance within the Jade Altar Blissful Land was related to the Fire Virtue True Lord.

Danyangzi and Ye Hongyun both practiced the fire element Daoist arts, and their primordial spirit manifestations also visualized the Fire Virtue True Lord. The opportunity for them to receive the inheritance was immense!

Suddenly, the light barrier within the Jade Altar archway, which had been shaking violently, instantly calmed down!

Immediately after, a powerful wave of energy surged out from the Blissful Land behind the archway, fluttering the robes of the cultivators observing the secret realm.

The old Celestial Master narrowed his eyes, his gaze heavy with gravity. Such an intense reaction meant that the Jade Altar Blissful Land... had likely undergone an unpredictable change!

“It’s time for the results to appear!”

The atmosphere of heaven and earth seemed to become solemn in that moment. The light barrier twisted, and a figure emerged. Transforming into a beam of light, it tore through the barrier and rushed out. He was in a Daoist robe, and he was scorched with burn marks and had a pale face. His appearance was utterly pitiful and wretched, like a wandering Daoist in the

jianghu

who had been thoroughly beaten after being caught cheating in a trick.

A cultivator’s sharp eyes immediately recognized him and shouted, “It’s Mount Mao’s prodigy, Danyangzi!”

The old Celestial Master’s expression was peculiar, and many other cultivators and wandering martial heroes also turned pale.

This Daoist prodigy, once riding a celestial crane and wearing a towering crown, was full of vigor and pride. How had he become so wretched?

Rumble! Rumble!

One figure after another was spat out from the jade green archway.

“It’s Suspended Sword Sect’s Chen Tianyuan! Who cut off his arm?!” someone cried out.

What had actually happened inside the Jade Altar Blissful Land? Many cultivators stared at the jade green archway with shock on their faces. They quickly identified one immense aura among them, Murong Longcheng!

As this northern frontier prodigy of the imperial court emerged from the jade green archway, a massive, mountain-like aura immediately radiated from him, causing everyone to tremble in fear.

The old Celestial Master squinted his eyes,

“Yang Spirit!?

Murong Longcheng swept his gaze coldly across the surroundings, locking eyes with the old Celestial Master from a distance expressionlessly. Then, he left, and his figure quickly vanished from sight.

“Was that just now... Murong Longcheng?” An observant cultivator was shocked. Why did he look like that? Had someone possessed him?!

The old Celestial Master’s gaze shifted slightly, still unable to find Li Yanchu’s figure. His heart sank involuntarily. By now, many corpses had already been expelled from the Jade Altar Blissful Land. Everyone still remembered Li Yanchu easily stepping into the Blissful Land with his brute strength.

However, because of his Sun Veil blocking heavenly insight, many who had shallow karmic connections with him had subconsciously ignored him. They assumed he had died within the Jade Altar Blissful Land. After all, didn’t they just see Suspended Sword Sect’s Chen Tianyuan have one arm severed?

The danger of the Jade Altar Blissful Land seemed far greater than anyone had imagined.

Suddenly, the light barrier of the jade green archway slowly opened, flowing apart like water. It was a tall and handsome young Daoist with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and belted at his waist was a simple, straight, ancient long blade. He strode out of the secret realm with confident, purposeful steps.

Compared to the wretched appearances of everyone else, Li Yanchu’s face held a trace of calm, and his movements were composed and graceful. After he stepped out, the light barrier slowly closed behind him.

Everyone was speechless, while the old Celestial Master’s eyes brightened; he exhaled in relief, but then his gaze grew slightly strange.

Slightly surprised, Li Yanchu noticed that all the prodigies emerging from the Jade Altar Blissful Land instinctively kept their distance from him.

Whether they were wandering martial artists, monks, Daoists, geomancers, eccentrics, independent cultivators, or demonic practitioners, they all suddenly scattered and kept far away from Li Yanchu.

The cultivators around him as well as the old Celestial Master fell silent at the sight.

Only a single, strikingly beautiful young girl deliberately approached Li Yanchu’s side. She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with long hair falling to her shoulders, delicate features, and an innate air of nobility. Her beauty was so arresting that it made people instinctively hold their breath. She seemed quite close to Li Yanchu, speaking and laughing with ease.

Once the old Celestial Master got a clear look at her, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

“Princess of the Northern Marquisate... Xu Ruoyun?” This old Celestial Master, who had once made a name for himself in the previous Jade Altar Blissful Land, squinted his eyes.

“This immortal’s inheritance... could it really have gone to this young man?” He thought it extremely likely.

Li Yanchu scanned the surroundings, carefully sensing the lingering auras while raising an eyebrow. The first to leave the secret realm, Danyangzi, had already vanished, hiding somewhere unknown.

“This guy is far more cunning than Hong Baiwei!” he sighed softly.

He hadn’t expected that the decisive and ruthless Danyangzi would have no sense of ego at all. People like that... were dangerous.

Now that he had left the secret realm, it would be unwise to continue pursuing him. Even Murong Longcheng, who harbored a hidden Yang Spirit within his body, had disappeared.

Earlier, when Li Yanchu confronted him, a sudden natural phenomenon occurred, and the ancient will hidden within Murong Longcheng’s body seemed to vanish, as if expelled by the Jade Altar Blissful Land.

Li Yanchu himself, however, stepped through a light barrier with calm composure, in stark contrast to those clumsily expelled from the realm.

Finally, as Li Yanchu strode confidently through the gradually opening light barrier, the jade green archway slowly vanished from sight.

The onlookers among the common people shivered in awe. The corpses of those who had died within the Jade Altar Blissful Land were also expelled by the realm, making the scene all the more shocking. The corpses were in a horrifying state!

The people of Wei City, who had never seen so many dead bodies at once, gasped in shock. Like a tide, they scattered.

The Blissful Land of the Jade Altar had closed, and Danyangzi had slain Ye Hongyun. Plus, Murong Longcheng was revealed to be the killer of Hong Baiwei. A young Daoist priest had triggered a heavenly phenomenon, suspected of receiving an immortal’s inheritance. It was also this very youth who, with ease, suppressed the prodigy Murong Longcheng, and severed the arm of the sword genius Chen Tianyuan. He even forced Danyangzi to flee in madness. The demonic expert Master Tietou was struck dead with a single punch by the young Daoist, and his body was utterly annihilated,

The news spread like wildfire. Soon, it swept across the whole of Wei City. And shortly after, it reached the prefectural city of Beifeng Prefecture, causing an uproar.

The Blissful Land of the Jade Altar might have closed, but the consequences of these events were immense.

The second son of the Northern Marquis had died within the secret realm of the Jade Altar. That was the Northern Marquis, whose title passed down through generations, and he commanded a formidable army on top of that.

Moreover, the disciple of the Fire Virtue Sect had been killed by Danyangzi of Mount Mao. This was bound to spark conflict between Mount Mao and the Fire Virtue Sect!

***

By this time, Li Yanchu had already returned alone to Wei City, but the young and beautiful Xu Ruoyun did not remain. On the contrary, the moment she exited the secret realm, she was escorted away by a squad of the Marquis’s elite armored cavalry. Leading them was a spear-wielding general with blazing blood and qi! Alongside him walked an old monk in black robes, who was as fierce as a tiger, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

The romance between the Marquis’s daughter and the down-and-out Daoist priest from a crumbling temple had not even begun before it ended in haste. Before leaving, Xu Ruoyun gave Li Yanchu a protective charm she had worn since childhood, leaving him something to remember her by.

This incident left many loose threads and stirred up unrest. Yet, Li Yanchu paid little heed to it all...

He simply took a good bath and changed into a fresh set of clean clothes.
