“Master, is it possible?”
Dao Wuhen continued asking.
“Of course it is.” As he spoke, Xuanyuan Chen took out another token.
Activating his spiritual power, he caused a spatial vortex to appear before the two of them.
“The passage is open. Go in. Oh, right, take the token with you. If you want to come out, simply activate the token.”
After speaking, the token flew from Xuanyuan Chen’s hand toward Dao Wuhen.
“Thank you, master.”
Seeing this, Dao Wuhen was extremely excited.
After taking the token, he walked directly into the passage.
Seeing the vortex disappear, Xuanyuan Chen could not help shaking his head and smiling.
“It should only be a Trial Secret Realm. Why are you so excited?”
.....
Tianfeng City.
A major city located relatively close to the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.
At this moment, Ye Xinran and the four people had already appeared outside the city.
“Tianfeng City’s city lord, Mo Chengfeng, is an Imperial Extremity Realm powerhouse.”
Xuanyuan Hao said.
“You even know that?” Ye Xinran looked at Xuanyuan Hao incredulously.
“Yes. After all, it is near the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land, so I know it fairly well. Let’s hurry inside.”
After speaking, the four people walked into the city together.
In the void.
Ye Chang’an was following Ye Xinran with Shangguan Shi.
After a period of cultivation, Shangguan Shi had now successfully broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm.
Yang Shiyi was still cultivating in the Primordial Divine Hall.
“Tianfeng City is quite lively. They’re even holding a Martial Contest for a Bride.”
After taking in the situation inside the city at a glance, Ye Chang’an rubbed his chin and said.
“Hall master, Mo Chengfeng’s daughter is rather beautiful.”
Shangguan Shi had also noticed the Martial Contest for a Bride taking place in the city.
“Seventeen years old and at the Half-Step Heavenly Spirit Realm. Unfortunately, she has the Heavenly Cold Constitution. When she turns eighteen, the cold poison will erupt completely.
That is probably why Mo Chengfeng arranged this Martial Contest for a Bride.
To resolve the Heavenly Cold Constitution, there must either be a yin-yang union between two people of equal level, or a powerhouse must act to remove the constitution.
However, to remove the constitution without endangering her life, one must be at least in the great saint realm.”
Ye Chang’an revealed the reason Mo Chengfeng had arranged the Martial Contest for a Bride.
Finding someone with an equally powerful Yin or Yang constitution was no simple matter.
No wonder Mo Chengfeng had thought of this method.
Perhaps because of the Martial Contest for a Bride, many outsiders and cultivators were now flooding into the city.
Inside the city.
Ye Xinran and the four people were following the crowd toward the city center.
“Come to think of it, why are we following them to the city center?”
Ye Xinran asked in confusion.
Lin Tianci, who was leading the way at the front, turned back awkwardly.
“Er...... I saw that everyone was heading toward the city center, so I figured there might be something interesting over there.”
“Something interesting?”
Just as Ye Xinran asked again, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded beside them.
“You don’t even know? The city lord’s Mansion is holding a Martial Contest for a Bride for the city lord’s daughter.
Mo Chengfeng’s daughter, Mo Lianbing, is a great beauty. Who wouldn’t want to join in the excitement?
Even if you don’t succeed, you can still admire the beauty. If you do succeed, you’ll win a beauty and gain a powerful father-in-law.
With such a good opportunity, who wouldn’t be tempted?”
The four people turned toward the voice.
They saw a handsome young man who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a daoist robe, speaking with a broad smile.
Judging by his expression, he seemed to be fantasizing about something.
Since Ye Xinran and Jin Xiaoya were both wearing veils, the daoist robe youth was unable to see their faces.
Otherwise, he might have changed the object of his fantasies.
“A Martial Contest for a Bride?”
The four people were all stunned.
The daughter of a dignified Imperial Extremity Realm powerhouse actually needed a Martial Contest for a Bride?
For a moment, Ye Xinran and the others found this difficult to understand.
“Actually, you don’t know this, but the reason Mo Chengfeng is holding a Martial Contest for a Bride is because of a problem with Mo Lianbing’s constitution.”
The daoist robe youth continued.
“A problem with her constitution?”
Ye Xinran continued questioning him.
The young man seemed quite happy to explain things to others, and he answered with a smile.
“That’s right. Mo Lianbing has the Heavenly Cold Constitution. Although this constitution has given her talent, it has also brought her suffering.
Every time she achieves a breakthrough in realm, she suffers the agony of extreme cold corroding her bones. Once she turns eighteen, the cold poison will erupt.
If there is no way to save her by then, she will die.”
“The Heavenly Cold Constitution? I’ve heard of it before. That’s indeed the case. I didn’t expect Mo Lianbing to possess this constitution. No wonder Mo Chengfeng wanted to hold a Martial Contest for a Bride.”
After hearing the daoist robe youth’s explanation, Jin Xiaoya added a comment.
She had heard of the Heavenly Cold Constitution before.
Therefore, she understood Mo Chengfeng’s actions very well at this moment.
“Actually, finding a powerhouse willing to remove the Heavenly Cold Constitution from Mo Lianbing would also work. But how could Mo Chengfeng possibly find such a powerhouse?”
The daoist robe youth seemed somewhat emotional.
“A powerhouse capable of removing a constitution without endangering someone’s life is extremely rare. Fate is truly cruel. She’s such a wonderful girl.”
“How do you know she’s wonderful?”
Lin Tianci asked.
“Me? Er...... I guessed.” The daoist robe youth grinned and answered vaguely.
“Then how does the Martial Contest for a Bride resolve the problem of the Heavenly Cold Constitution?”
Ye Xinran asked the question in her heart.
“Find someone with an equally powerful pure yang constitution. The yin-yang union will resolve it.”
The daoist robe youth replied.
“The yin-yang union?” Ye Xinran asked again.
At these words, the daoist robe youth and the three others, including Jin Xiaoya, were all stunned.
They did not know how to explain it to Ye Xinran.
After all, she was only twelve years old and still a child. How were they supposed to explain this?
“Hmm? Why did you stop talking? Didn’t you say you knew everything?”
Seeing the daoist robe youth suddenly fall silent, Ye Xinran looked at him in confusion.
“Well...... it’s...... Look, we’ve arrived at the city lord’s Mansion!”
The daoist robe youth stammered. Then, noticing that the city lord’s Mansion was directly ahead, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly.
“I know we’ve arrived at the city lord’s Mansion, but what does the yin-yang union mean?”
Ye Xinran continued asking earnestly.
“Xinran, perhaps he doesn’t know either. Don’t make things difficult for him.”
Seeing this, Jin Xiaoya could not help advising her.
“Oh, I thought he knew. Sister Xiaoya, do you know?”
Jin Xiaoya:......
In the void, watching this scene unfold with Ye Xinran and the others, the corner of Ye Chang’an’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Shangguan Shi, standing beside him, wore the same expression.
After everyone talked her through it, Ye Xinran finally stopped dwelling on the question.
“Is that Mo Lianbing?”
Looking at the woman in the blue long dress on the square outside the city lord’s Mansion, Ye Xinran was full of curiosity.
On the square, Mo Lianbing wore a blue long dress. Her ink-black hair fell to her waist, her features were exquisite, and her skin was fair. Her bearing was aloof yet endearing.
“That’s right. This is Mo Chengfeng’s daughter, Mo Lianbing. How is she? Beautiful, right?”
Looking at Mo Lianbing on the square, the daoist robe youth’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
“She is indeed rather beautiful.”
Xuanyuan Hao nodded.
“You’re being far too conservative. ‘Rather beautiful’? I, your young master, have seen countless beauties, but Mo Lianbing absolutely ranks among the finest.”
The daoist robe youth did not agree with Xuanyuan Hao’s answer.
