Chapter 556: Chapter 228: The Unexpected Appearance of Yuan Youwei! Ji Mingyue VS Yuan Youwei! Grand Elder of Great Love Intervenes, Catching All in One Fell Swoop_2

Moreover, it’s not even certain that the Empress Huangyue’s split soul is in Qianyuan Divine Province.

Before long, the peerless beauty clad in azure, Ji Mingyue of the eminent female saints, arrived within three hundred million li of Han Li and Zi Miaozhen.

“Aren’t you going to take action?”

Zi Miaozhen looked up at Han Li in some surprise.

According to the plan Han Li had previously shared with her, now was the time to strike. With just a thought, Han Li could send his Dao body over, just like he did against her, easily suppressing and capturing Ji Mingyue.

“Wait a little longer,” Han Li said, shaking his head slightly.

Zi Miaozhen’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she said, “You’re not planning to wait until she comes to us before taking action, are you? That’s not your style.”

She knew that when Han Li had dealt with her before, he had sent out his Dao body while his true body remained at a distance, protected by immortal soldiers, cautious and steady.

Han Li smiled and said, “Zhen’er, you worry too much. The reason I haven’t made a move is because a variable has appeared.”

“A variable?” A flicker of surprise crossed Zi Miaozhen’s eyes.

Han Li nodded, explaining, “Xi Yue told me that ahead of us, there is not just Ji Mingyue. Between us and Ji Mingyue, there’s also a Quasi-Emperor, precisely the one you mentioned from Yuanchu Mountain, Yuan Youwei.”

Just to be cautious, neither Han Li nor Zi Miaozhen had used their Divine Sense to probe, relying instead on a few imperial and immortal soldiers for detection. This was very discreet and unlikely to be discovered.

Han Li was about to take action when Yuan Youwei suddenly appeared in front of Ji Mingyue, causing him to hold back for now. He wanted to see what Yuan Youwei was up to and then seize the opportunity to catch them all in one go, so he wouldn’t have to wait for Yuan Youwei slowly.

Yuan Youwei hailed from Yuanchu Mountain, and Ji Mingyue from the Huangyue Imperial Empire; the two women were naturally at odds. If they started to fight, that would be excellent.

Not only could he enjoy an alluring spectacle, but he could also reap the benefits of a fisherman, capturing both Yuan Youwei and Ji Mingyue.

Upon hearing this, Zi Miaozhen laughed, “Yuan Youwei is in such a hurry to deliver herself to you.”

“Tsk tsk, she probably doesn’t know that you, the great Casanova, have already been coveting her body for a long time.”

“Pah, what Casanova? I am a gentleman of noble character,” Han Li sternly corrected.

“How about you take your hands off first before saying that?” Zi Miaozhen scoffed coldly.

Unperturbed, Han Li remained indifferent, as though his hands were not involved in any frivolous wandering.

On the other side, Ji Mingyue advanced some distance, her chariot suddenly coming to a halt.

In the saintess Ji Mingyue’s perception, a hundred thousand li ahead stood an incomparably radiant and exquisite figure, smiling at Ji Mingyue with mirth in her eyes.

Ji Mingyue’s delicate brows furrowed as she recognized the person and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. Why would she come to block my way?

The person before her was none other than the Quasi-Emperor Yuan Youwei from Yuanchu Mountain!

Although Ji Mingyue had been in the area of Qianyuan Divine Province for two to three years, she still was well aware of the situation in the Endless Yuankun Domain and kept abreast of any major events.

For example, Empress Yuanchu followed in Empress Huangyue’s footsteps, causing consecutive furies.

Yuan Youwei was an emissary of Empress Yuanchu, her movements unpredictable as she traveled across the Divine Provinces, her whereabouts not hidden intentionally. They had long been leaked out, and so Ji Mingyue knew of them.

Yuan Youwei was searching for Empress Yuanchu’s split soul while she sought Empress Huangyue’s; as long as they did not interfere with each other, why would Ji Mingyue come to find her?

Could it be that Yuan Youwei had accidentally discovered that Empress Huangyue’s split soul was in Qianyuan Divine Province, and had come to obstruct her path to create interference?

Due to the discord between Empress Huangyue and Empress Yuanchu, friction was incessant between the two mighty forces of the Huangyue Imperial Empire and Yuanchu Mountain, and Yuan Youwei had motive to do so.

If Yuan Youwei succeeded in stopping Ji Mingyue, even if she failed to find Empress Yuanchu’s split soul, it would still be considered a merit.

A multitude of thoughts flashed in an instant, and Ji Mingyue, with a mind full of concerns, stepped out of her Cyan Phoenix Chariot, put away the chariot with a wave of her hand, and walked step by step toward Yuan Youwei, taking on a solemn expression as if she were an exiled immortal.

To Zi Miaozhen who had just broken through to the Saint Abyss Realm, she could be dismissive, but Yuan Youwei had to be taken seriously, for her cultivation was a Big Realm higher.

“Yuan Youwei, what are you trying to do?”

When she arrived within a hundred li, Ji Mingyue stopped and spoke indifferently.

“Retreat!”

Yuan Youwei stood loftily in the ninth heaven, her proud and sleek figure flawlessly perfect. Her purple dress danced in the wind, her charisma breathtakingly stunning.

She had a beauty unrivaled, sublime and peerless, slightly surpassing Ji Mingyue, and at this moment, she was utterly imperious.

Ji Mingyue’s intuition was correct; Yuan Youwei had come to stop her, not wanting her to set foot in Qianyuan Divine Province.

When she left Yuanchu Mountain, Empress Yuanchu, besides bestowing an imperial weapon for the mission, also gave her several hints.

Empress Yuanchu suspected that the disappearance of her split soul was the work of some Great Holy Land School in Qianyuan Divine Province. Those Great Holy Land Schools, with their imperial and immortal weapons, could conceal the divine mysteries and sever her connection.

If it were not for being tied up and uncertain of the target, Empress Yuanchu would have made her move long ago, just like she had once exterminated a Peak Quasi-Emperor who had defied her authority with a single palm strike across endless space.

Yuan Youwei originally suspected Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, Penglai Immortal Sect, Myriad Demon Mountain, and other Great Holy Land Schools in Qianyuan Divine Province were responsible, but after investigation, she found there was another suspect. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

That was the Mysterious Forces that stirred up stormwind and rain in Qianyuan Divine Province, causing unrest among those Great Holy Land Schools, a force that also possessed a Heaven Imperial Realm level imperial weapon, making all seven Great Holy Land Schools wary.

Due to certain reasons, Yuan Youwei had not approached Qianyuan Divine Province, instead wandering around its surroundings, with another Divine Province lying in between.
