Chapter 1027: Chapter 640: City-Overthrowing Palace, Dance of the Enchanting City! (4K)_2
The City-Overthrowing Palace's immortal, Dance of the Enchanting City, spoke coldly, "Our Palace Master has issued an order: Both families must leave immediately, or you will be opposing the City-Overthrowing Palace."
Helian Tianji and Huangfu Jian hesitated, while the members of the Helian and Huangfu families looked visibly troubled.
The City-Overthrowing Palace is no ordinary force.
Once the Palace Master of the City-Overthrowing Palace gives an order, she sees it through. Crossing the Palace could lead to the mutual destruction of the Helian Family, Huangfu Family, and the Su Clan.
"Hahaha, it seems the Palace Master hasn't forgotten me! Helian Tianji, Huangfu Jian, do you have the guts to act?"
Su Wudi, emboldened by his wife's support, gloated and taunted Helian Tianji and Huangfu Jian.
Helian Tianji and Huangfu Jian gritted their teeth in fury but dared not make a move.
These ancient Great Experts naturally understood the power of the City-Overthrowing Palace.
The influence of the City-Overthrowing Palace surpassed even that of the Su Clan. It had ties to several Human Emperors during ancient times and was a force far too formidable to provoke.
"Family Head, what should we do?"
The numerous Ancestors and Elders of the Huangfu Family looked to Huangfu Jian in bewilderment.
Huangfu Jian hesitated for a long time and secretly exchanged glances with Helian Tianji before biting the bullet: "We retreat."
"But Family Head, we've already fallen out with the Su Clan. If we leave now..."
"The City-Overthrowing Palace cannot be lightly antagonized."
Huangfu Jian deliberated repeatedly but ultimately decided not to offend the City-Overthrowing Palace.
The Palace's depth of influence and connections far eclipsed that of the Huangfu Family; provoking them would be an irrevocable mistake.
"We shall leave as well."
Helian Tianji had been eager to advance further and settle scores with Su Wudi, but with the intervention of the City-Overthrowing Palace members, he was utterly powerless against Su Wudi.
The threats from the Huangfu and Helian families dissipated effortlessly.
The grandiose entourages of the two ancient families withdrew with their tails between their legs.
Lu Changsheng finally understood.
Why a brash and reckless figure like Su Wudi could repeatedly escape danger—while many Great Experts had already perished, Su Wudi was still alive and kicking.
Aside from his self-created "Invincible Divine Skills," which could save his life, he also had the secret support of the Palace Master of the City-Overthrowing Palace.
The Palace Master was famed for her divine calculations in ancient times; she could predict heavenly secrets and discern fortune from calamity, repeatedly aiding Su Wudi in avoiding disasters.
Su Wudi's greatest achievement in life might very well have been winning the heart of such a remarkable woman.
However, the Palace Master's influence far exceeded Su Wudi's, so she had stormed off to the City-Overthrowing Palace in a fit of anger, unwilling to deal with Su Wudi anymore.
This time, to extricate Su Wudi from his predicament, the Palace Master didn't personally appear but sent her disciple, Dance of the Enchanting City, instead.
Even that was enough to scare away the Ancient Helian Family and Ancient Huangfu Family, demonstrating the power of the City-Overthrowing Palace.
"Why didn't your master come herself?"
After the two families retreated, Su Wudi questioned Dance of the Enchanting City.
She answered in a soft and melodious voice, "The Palace Master anticipated that you'd ask this question. She said unless you kneel at the gate of the City-Overthrowing Palace for three days and nights and sincerely repent, she will not forgive you."
At this, Su Wudi became instantly annoyed: "A true man cannot stoop so low! If she doesn't want to see me, so be it!"
"..."
Dance of the Enchanting City sighed lightly, unsure why her master had chosen Su Wudi as her Daoist partner back then. Many young talents had pursued the Palace Master.
Nonetheless, as her master's disciple, Dance of the Enchanting City naturally had to uphold the reputation of her Palace and the dignity of Su Wudi. She kept her thoughts to herself and refrained from saying them aloud.
Her gaze suddenly fell on Lu Changsheng.
This man clad in the Daoist robe of the Mount Taihua Sacred Land stood out not only for his striking good looks but also for an indescribable aura that marked him as extraordinary.
Seeing Dance of the Enchanting City scrutinize him, Lu Changsheng remained unperturbed, meeting her gaze without hesitation.
"Who are you?"
"Lu Changsheng, from the Mount Taihua Sacred Land."
"Ah, so you're the one who defeated Emperor Ku at the Heavenly Court Assembly. Excellent, your potential is boundless."
Dance of the Enchanting City's beautiful eyes sparkled with delight; it was evident that encountering the Immortal Realm's foremost genius here was an unexpected surprise.
Despite the City-Overthrowing Palace's seclusion, it had kept tabs on external developments, even events like the recent Heavenly Court Assembly.
Through her conversation with Dance of the Enchanting City, Lu Changsheng gleaned some useful information.
Zhu Xiaomo interrupted their dialogue: "Junior Sister, how is master doing?"
Dance of the Enchanting City nodded, "Master is well. She foresaw that you would face calamity today, so she sent me to ensure your safety."
Zhu Xiaomo smiled thinly, "I suspect master foresaw trouble for Senior Su Wudi instead, and sent you to resolve it?"
Dance of the Enchanting City paused, bemused, "That could be true as well; master often says one thing but means another."
"Since you've journeyed all this way, Junior Sister, please stay at the Su Clan for a while."
"Alright."
Dance of the Enchanting City and the hundreds of female disciples from the City-Overthrowing Palace temporarily took residence in the Su Clan.
Meanwhile, the members of Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land observed the disciples of the City-Overthrowing Palace with curiosity.
The palace's hidden status made its disciples a rare sight; for many, this was their first encounter.
Conversely, the disciples, now venturing into the outside world, were curious about the conditions of the Sacred Lands—particularly casting their gaze toward Lu Changsheng.
Having defeated Emperor Ku at the Heavenly Court Assembly, Lu Changsheng's renown preceded him. Even these reclusive disciples had heard of this towering figure.
Now, seeing him in person, and discovering he was even more handsome than expected, they couldn't help but steal a few glances.
After all, there was no harm in taking a closer look.
"This Dance of the Enchanting City is the direct disciple of the City-Overthrowing Palace's master. She's said to possess a unique constitution and has inherited many teachings, but because she only became a disciple after the ancient war, when the palace had already retreated from the world, no one has ever seen her take action."
Su Yun discreetly explained to Lu Changsheng, introducing the city-destroying prodigy from the palace.
"The Three Realms are teeming with experts; how fascinating."
Lu Changsheng realized that the Three Realms housed more powerhouses than he'd initially imagined—particularly after two ancient wars, when many Great Experts had chosen reclusion, dedicating themselves to the pursuit of eternal, unending methods while leaving secular matters to the younger generation.
Some forces, like the City-Overthrowing Palace, had even hidden their entire sect from view.
Yet, these forces remained formidable, teeming with powerful figures.
"..."
Su Yun murmured silently to herself, although Dance of the Enchanting City was undoubtedly gifted and extraordinary, it was hard to imagine anyone outshining a freakish talent like Lu Changsheng who had defeated Emperor Ku.
With the City-Overthrowing Palace's intervention, the Ancient Helian Family and Ancient Huangfu Family had departed, ensuring peace for the Su Clan for the foreseeable future.
The Su Clan members breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly welcomed Dance of the Enchanting City and her entourage.
Su Wudi, sitting atop a boulder on a peak within the Su Clan territory, stared off into the distance, lost in thought.
Lin Shiyu of the Mount Taihua Sacred Land and Li Lingfei of Guanghan Palace each had minor connections with the City-Overthrowing Palace.
The City-Overthrowing Palace's reclusive status was a result of the ancient wars, yet Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu had encountered its members during those times.
They took the opportunity to converse with Dance of the Enchanting City, the Palace's Chief Senior Disciple, seeking to develop stronger connections with her.
Securing the support of the City-Overthrowing Palace would undoubtedly be advantageous.
"In those days, my elder sister managed to severely injure the World-Ending Black Dragon, not just due to her robust cultivation level but also thanks to the intelligence provided by the City-Overthrowing Palace. By this account, Mount Taihua Sacred Land owes the Palace a small favor."
"You are too kind; our City-Overthrowing Palace stood united with the Heavenly Court and various sects to combat the Demon Race at the time—it wasn't a matter of personal debts."
Dance of the Enchanting City's voice remained gentle and soothing, a pleasure to hear.
"Recently, my master has often spoken of Lu Changsheng. Might I have the honor of engaging with you in a discussion of the Dao later?"
Dance of the Enchanting City couldn't shake the feeling that there was something exceptional about Lu Changsheng.
The Palace Master had once attempted to calculate his Qi Destiny but found his fate utterly blank as if obscured by some extraordinary artifact.
Now that she had encountered him in person, she felt compelled to probe his depths.
"If it's merely a casual dialogue, it should be fine."
Lu Changsheng himself was somewhat wary.
Given the City-Overthrowing Palace's prowess in predicting heavenly secrets, he couldn't afford for them to uncover the existence of the system he carried; that would spell calamity.
Such sharp perception—no wonder she hailed from the City-Overthrowing Palace.
Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu secretly admired Dance of the Enchanting City's instincts; she immediately singled out the most extraordinary figure among them.
