Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 90 The Mysterious Lotus Pavilion, a Saint's Sacred Artifact!

"He...he killed Xi Qianfan's servant?!"

"Don't you know that you and Xi Qianfan are from two different worlds?"

"The Xi family will absolutely not let him go!"

Finally, after Gu Jiancheng and the others had disappeared inside the city gate, the group of cultivators outside Baiyun City came to their senses.

They didn't know why Xi Qianfan would give Gu Jiancheng an ultimatum, but they thought it made perfect sense.

After all, being the number one in the eight prefectures, yet only slightly ahead of Gu Jiancheng on the contribution list, was an insult to Xi Qianfan.

But what they hadn't expected was that Gu Jiancheng would dare to kill Xi Qianfan's servant on the spot outside the city.

This is unreasonable!

Who is Gu Jiancheng? Even if there are rumors that he has a close relationship with Shen Ruyue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the Xi family also has the Zhao family backing them up.

How dare he be so arrogant?!

Regardless of everyone's astonishment, the disciples of Nanli Academy, who were hidden among the crowd, all returned to their residences to report.

"hateful!"

"If this person were to hang the heads of my Chasing Life Valley cultivators in front of White Cloud City, it would be an utter disgrace!"

"Young Master Ming, are we just going to let him go like this?"

On the city wall, a cultivator from the Chasing Life Valley watched Gu Jiancheng and his group enter the city, filled with extreme resentment.

Although no one knew who killed the cultivators from Chasing Life Valley at the time, they understood that the Three Fate Masters, including the one who was killed, had all accepted the mission to kill Gu Jiancheng!

"Otherwise what? Are you stronger than the Three Fates?"

"Or do you want to die too?"

But in front of him, a young cultivator dressed in black robes sneered.

"Don't forget, along with the Three Fates, there was also a Heavenly Observation Realm expert from the Zhao family who perished!"

"This person must be secretly protected by powerful members of the Shen family. We can't touch him yet!"

"Could it be that the Shen family is truly determined to protect Gu Jiancheng?" The cultivators from the Chasing Life Valley behind him were still unwilling to give up.

"To be precise, it's Shen Ruyue, but this eldest daughter of the Shen family has been too prominent these past few months, and has even split the Shen family into two major factions."

"So, let's wait for the higher-ups' arrangements for the next steps."

"In short, Gu Jiancheng is still doomed to die!"

Having said that, the young Master of Fate, his black robes billowing, transformed into a wisp of smoke and vanished from the city wall.

"Holy Maiden, is this Gu Jiancheng? Just as the seniors in the building said, he's incredibly handsome!"

Among the crowd outside the city, a young girl who looked like a maidservant, carrying a lotus lantern, suddenly laughed.

Carrying a lantern in broad daylight is extremely strange.

"Since it was chosen by the Seventh Master, it can't be wrong."

"Yu'ou, now that he has arrived, let's make the Lotus Pavilion emerge from the clouds today." In front of the maid was a woman dressed in white, her white clothes as beautiful as a lotus flower, but her eyes were bound with white ribbons, as if she were blind.

"Yes, Saint!"

The maid nodded, took the lantern and entered the city. After a few flashes, she suddenly disappeared.

Ya Yun Lou.

This building is located on the banks of the Qinhuai River, which runs through Baiyun City. Although it is not in the core area of ​​Baiyun City, the scenery is absolutely stunning.

Now, Shen Ruyue has booked the entire Ya Yun Lou building, intending it to serve as a place for all the disciples of Dongling Academy to settle down.

After settling everyone in, Shen Ruyue and Shen Chuan left.

With such a major turn of events on the way, they arrived in Baiyun City with a great deal of things to arrange.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

On the rooftop of Ke Ya Yun Building, Yun Shui Yao frowned slightly as she looked at Jiang Hongyi, who also wanted to follow her into the room.

How can this person have such a lack of boundaries?

"You should ask him that. Didn't you say you wanted me to stay by your side all the time?" Jiang Hongyi looked at Gu Jiancheng, who was completely bewildered, and said very seriously.

"Always by your side?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shuiyao's beautiful face changed drastically, and the way she looked at Gu Jiancheng became even stranger.

"Tsk, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Jiancheng's face darkened, and he immediately pushed Jiang Hongyi out of the room.

"No, why are you so stubborn? I said you'd stay by my side, not that I'd make you follow me to sleep."

"It's my first time too, it's normal not to know the rules!" Jiang Hongyi shrugged, then pointed to the roof, "I'll sleep on the roof."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

"wack."

Gu Jiancheng was speechless, but when he returned to his room, he found that Yun Shuiyao was still looking at him with a strange gaze.

How exactly did you two meet?

“I think this person is no ordinary person.” Yun Shuiyao pressed, “You don’t need to hide this from me, do you?”

"Of course not, this person claims to be the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and is a demonic cultivator."

“Moreover…” Gu Jiancheng leaned down and whispered in Yun Shuiyao’s ear, “What you see now is just his clone!”

"What?! A clone?!"

As expected, Yun Shuiyao was also greatly surprised upon hearing this.

Even a clone has such a high level of cultivation?

"That's right, I was just as shocked as you when I first found out."

Gu Jiancheng nodded, then went to the window of the room and looked out at the bustling ancient city, its lights like a galaxy.

"However, we are indeed in a lot of trouble now. I see that many powerful people have come to White Cloud City."

As soon as Yunshuiyao closed the door, Li Biluo's figure swept in through the window.

"Master, Mistress, there are indeed undercurrents surging within White Cloud City."

"Besides the representatives from the Holy Land and the Shen family, all the disciples from the Eight Prefectures have arrived, and the four major academies have also sent powerful figures."

"What about Chasing Life Valley and that so-called Zhao family?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

Previously, he had sent the heads of the cultivators from Zhui Ming Valley and the Zhao family back to Baiyun City, although they have now been cleaned up.

But neither the Chasing Life Valley nor the Zhao family cultivators will let this go easily.

"There were five groups of cultivators who ambushed the master. Now the remaining four groups have returned to Baiyun City, but there are no Zhao family cultivators among them."

"Perhaps they are wary of the Shen family's power, so they are behaving very obediently for now," Li Biluo sneered.

"It seems that Chasing Life Valley is indeed just a bunch of dogs!" Yun Shuiyao smiled disdainfully.

"In addition, the master asked me to investigate Cai Kun..." Li Biluo paused for a moment, then continued, "The clues have all gone cold."

"Broken? What do you mean?"

Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this.

When he returned from the Northern Region, he ordered the Rakshasa Sect to investigate Cai Kun.

“This Cai Kun has indeed traveled the world, visiting the Western Regions, the Southern Regions, and even the Central Regions, but he has never joined any power. So we only know that he has appeared, but we don’t know how he became stronger.” After saying this, Li Biluo knelt down in front of Gu Jiancheng.

"Your subordinate has failed in your duties; please punish me, sir!"

"Never mind, Cai Kun's mystery is no less than Jiang Hongyi's. It's impossible for the Rakshasa Sect to thoroughly investigate the Three Regions in such a short time." Yun Shuiyao helped Li Biluo up.

"Yes, I trust Cai Kun's character. From today onwards, there's no need to investigate him anymore." Why would Gu Jiancheng blame Li Biluo?

As the Rakshasa Sect's influence gradually spread throughout the four regions, managing it became extremely difficult.

After Li Biluo left, Yunshuiyao looked out the window and saw thousands of lights and the moon shining on the long river.

"It's so lively here," Yun Shuiyao murmured.

"Then why don't we skip the cultivation today and go for a stroll?" Gu Jiancheng saw what Yun Shuiyao was thinking and asked accordingly.

"Alright."

Seeing Yun Shuiyao nod, Gu Jiancheng took his wife's hand and went straight out.

They also invited others, and the large group traveled along the Qinhuai River.

Baiyun City was already prosperous, but now it is even more bustling with the arrival of the eight prefectures.

Especially along the thirty-mile stretch of the Qinhuai River, all kinds of shops are brightly lit and teeming with people.

Yun Shuiyao and the others hadn't indulged themselves in a long time, and now they took Su Wanzhi and the others on a shopping spree, having a great time.

What pleased Gu Jiancheng was that even in Baiyun City in the Central Region, Lingyan and Mojing could still be seen everywhere.

Even though it's already night, these people still haven't forgotten to take off their sunglasses, which shows just how popular they are.

Moreover, he had already told Shen Ruyue the refining methods of both items after he returned from the Northern Region, so the Shen family had taken full responsibility for the refining process, and he only needed to wait for his share of the profits.

Gu Jiancheng and Jiang Hongyi followed behind the group of women, waiting for someone to come up and provoke them.

After all, he now has enemies everywhere in Baiyun City, and there will be no shortage of people looking for trouble.

Wow!

To Gu Jiancheng's surprise, instead of the villains he expected, he found that all the cultivators along the riverside street were converging on the front, as if they were attracted by something.

Even at the far end of the Qinhuai River, a mysterious energy faintly permeates the air.

What happened?

"Sword Inheritance!"

At this moment, Shen Ruyue, accompanied by her maid Xiaotao, squeezed through the crowd behind her.

"I've finally found you! The Lotus Pavilion has suddenly appeared on the Qinhuai River. I'll take you there to see it!" Shen Ruyue said impatiently as she approached.

"Lotus Pavilion? What's that?"

As Shen Ruyue pulled him forward, Gu Jiancheng was extremely puzzled.

He had never heard of this force before.

Moreover, judging from its current influence, it's probably not a simple matter.

"It can't be explained in a few words. Lotus Tower is not a force in the desolate state, but it has suddenly risen in recent years. It is said that there is a saint in charge of its forces!" Shen Ruyue explained as she walked.

"A sage is in charge!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but gasp.

Nowadays, only the three holy lands have saints. This so-called Lotus Pavilion actually has one. Isn't it comparable to the holy lands?

At this moment, the group arrived at the riverside railing. Following their gaze, Gu Jiancheng was astonished to find a huge pavilion shaped like a lotus flower floating on the water, surrounded by spiritual energy and dazzlingly beautiful.

The pavilion was incredibly mysterious, resembling a lotus flower, and it was slowly blooming!

Lotus leaves flew out from among them and drifted onto the water's surface, resembling emerald-green flat boats.

When Gu Jiancheng activated his Divine Eyes, his pupils dilated in shock.

Lotus Pavilion

Rank: Sacred Artifact.

Introduction: A spatial ancient treasure, infinitely mysterious!

This lotus pavilion is actually a sacred artifact?

"What... what is this?"

Su Wanzhi and the others were now dumbfounded.

"This is the sacred artifact and symbol of the Lotus Pavilion. When the sacred artifact appears, the Holy Maiden descends."

"The Holy Maiden of Lotus Pavilion will be performing there, but she has rarely released Lotus Boats before!" Shen Ruyue's face was also full of doubt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Maiden of the Lotus Pavilion will be performing on the Qinhuai River today. Seats on the lotus boats are limited, and only those who possess extraordinary abilities can ride on one and seize this opportunity!"

"And once the performance is over, the strongest among them may enter and speak with the Holy Maiden!"

Just then, a pretty young girl carrying a lotus lantern appeared in front of the Lotus Pavilion, her clear voice echoing along the riverbank.

This lotus boat can only be obtained by performing special skills?

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; it seemed this was prepared for him!
