Chapter 464: Chapter 463: Taichong Sacred Land, Cold Ice Grotto Heaven Chief

Considering this, Ji Haoyuan hesitated no longer.

He nodded slightly to Lan Siyun and said, "In that case, Daoist Lan, please lead the way."

Hearing this, a hint of joy finally appeared on Lan Siyun’s face.

She hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, Chief Ji."

While Lan Siyun was leading Ji Haoyuan to Youyue State...

Youyue State.

Inside the main hall of the state capital.

A young man with blue hair and blue eyes, exuding an extraordinary aura and a strong sense of authority, was seated at the uppermost position of the hall.

This person was He Cangyun, Chief of the Cold Ice Cave Heaven lineage from Taichong Sacred Land.

It is said that he carries the bloodline of the ancient Ice Phoenix.

He naturally possesses numerous ice-type Divine Techniques.

Shortly after entering Taichong Sacred Land, he was favored by the then Grotto Heaven Master of Cold Ice Cave Heaven and was directly taken in as the chief’s personal disciple.

Equal to his talent is his character.

He is said to be extremely ruthless.

Anyone who dares to defy his will or disobey his orders suffers his very cold punishment.

He applies this attitude both externally and internally.

Over time, he earned the nickname "Cold Asura."

At this moment, behind him, two other cultivators from Taichong Sacred Land followed.

A man and a woman.

The man’s name was Xue Yicheng, and the woman was called Fairy Qingxia.

Both of them had reached the Void Refining stage.

At this moment, the trio’s gaze was fixed on State Lord An Changyun across from them.

Especially He Cangyun’s gaze.

It seemed calm, but it exerted tremendous pressure on An Changyun.

Despite their similar cultivation levels.

An Changyun clearly understood.

If it came to a real fight, he likely couldn’t hold out for more than three rounds.

Yes.

The Void Refining outside the Sacred Land and within it.

Especially someone like He Cangyun, the chief of a Cave Heaven in the Void Refining stage.

The disparity in their strength is no exaggeration if compared to heaven and earth. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Chief He, could you give me some more time to think it over?"

Despite the immense pressure he was under.

Knowing full well that saying this would surely displease the three from He Cangyun once more.

But when it concerns his own interests, An Changyun still braced himself and said, looking towards He Cangyun.

Hearing his words, He Cangyun’s eyes remained unchanged, still as calm as ever.

However, this calmness only made An Changyun feel increasingly anxious and even uneasy.

To the point where his forehead, as a Divine Monarch at the Void Refining stage, began to sweat.

Meanwhile.

Although He Cangyun didn’t speak, Xue Yicheng and Fairy Qingxia behind him were not as courteous.

Their eyes flashed coldly.

Xue Yicheng took a step forward, glaring at An Changyun, and said coldly:

"State Lord An, don’t be ignorant of your fortune.

In fact, we’ve already given you a lot of face.

If it weren’t for the fact that your current position was appointed by the Daoist Palace of each Sacred Land.

Do you think you have the right to speak with us?

Do you think you can still sit in your current position?"

Overbearing, extremely overbearing.

Even if it’s not He Cangyun, Xue Yicheng, an ordinary elder of Taichong Sacred Land, has never paid An Changyun real attention.

And this is the true attitude of many Sacred Land cultivators and the true inheritors and chiefs of various Cave Heavens towards cultivators outside the Sacred Land.

Those like Ji Haoyuan, who would politely and amicably interact with cultivators like An Changyun, are exceedingly rare.

And this is the main reason why An Changyun and others, after interacting with Ji Haoyuan, increasingly wanted to ally with him.

It’s simply too difficult and rare to find such a chief from a Sacred Land Cave Heaven.

"Elder Xue..."

An Changyun’s face looked extremely grim at this moment.

Their complete contemptuous attitude, and their undeniable overbearing nature, truly pricked him.

But precisely at this moment, An Changyun became increasingly calm.

He knew that the more he was in this situation, the more he had to restrain himself and remain calm.

Because if he acted impulsively or said something he shouldn’t,

he could envision them taking advantage of it and forcing him to make a mistake.

"What?

State Lord An, do you have anything else to say?"

However, Xue Yicheng was clearly not willing to let An Changyun off so easily.

He said, "I think it’s best for you, State Lord An, not to consider any further. Now, immediately, give us a reply."

"State Lord An, to whom are you giving a reply?"

As soon as Xue Yicheng finished speaking, a sudden voice came from outside the main hall of the state capital.

"Who?"

In that moment, Xue Yicheng’s eyes sharpened, glaring towards the outside of the main hall.

Three figures walked straight into the main hall.

They were Ji Haoyuan, Jiang Miaoran, and Lan Siyun, who followed behind them.

Upon seeing the three of them.

Especially Ji Haoyuan, at the forefront, An Changyun, who had been anxious, tense, uneasy, and apprehensive, immediately felt a huge sense of relief.

A smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and bowed to Ji Haoyuan.

"Greetings, Chief Ji.

Chief Ji’s honored presence is most welcome, and I apologize for not greeting you from afar. I hope Chief Ji does not take offense."

"Chief Ji?"

Hearing An Changyun’s address to Ji Haoyuan, Xue Yicheng and Fairy Qingxia’s eyes narrowed abruptly.

Even He Cangyun, who had been always calm and composed, narrowed his eyes.

Clearly, they all knew that to be called ’chief,’ the person must be from a Sacred Land.

If not, it would be inadequate.

The consequences would be quite serious.

"Hehe, State Lord An, there’s no need to be so formal."

Ji Haoyuan smiled faintly.

His gaze swept over Xue Yicheng, Fairy Qingxia, and He Cangyun.

For some inexplicable reason, Xue Yicheng and Fairy Qingxia both felt an unexpected pressure from Ji Haoyuan’s gaze.

It was a feeling they were very familiar with.

Just like when He Cangyun looked at them.

Instantly, they were both on alert.

Could he really be from one of the Sacred Lands?

As they were thinking, Ji Haoyuan turned his gaze to An Changyun and said with a smile:

"State Lord An, it seems you have guests here.

Why?

Is it inconvenient to introduce them to me?"

"Not at all, not at all."

An Changyun chuckled, nodding repeatedly.

He knew that Ji Haoyuan was intentionally giving him a way out.

Which made him feel grateful, and he couldn’t help comparing Ji Haoyuan to He Cangyun.

The contrast was stark.

Both of them are from the Sacred Land, and both are chiefs from Sacred Land Cave Heavens.

The difference in how they make people feel is truly immense.
