Chapter 247: Chapter 247: The Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird

”Yeah, that’s right. A flight restriction has been placed within a hundred-mile radius of Wu Kun Mountain. Who in the world set up this no-fly zone?”

Another cultivator also voiced his complaint.

More and more cultivators arrived from afar at the summit of Wu Kun Mountain, all voicing their grievances.

At that moment, someone shouted from a distance, ”Make way, make way! The Saintess is here!”

The crowd swiftly parted. A strikingly beautiful woman in black, as graceful as a fairy descending to the mortal realm, floated slowly from the distance.

Beside the black-clad woman stood eight elders, each with a cultivation base at Destiny Realm Level 7 or higher.

”Wow, the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird has arrived!” someone exclaimed from the crowd.

Ye Yun watched the woman in black and gave a slight nod.

This young lady possessed a timeless beauty. Her countenance was charming, her skin as fair and flawless as jade, and her dark hair flowed like a waterfall. She was indeed a rare beauty.

”Who is this Saintess? What’s her story?” the Big Black Cat asked Mao Bao’er, quirking an eyebrow.

After a moment of thought, Mao Bao’er said, ”It’s said that the Wu Kun Mountain Black Market is primarily controlled by the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird from the Heavenly Moon Dynasty.”

”So that’s how it is.”

The Big Black Cat nodded. His gaze swept over the black-clad woman’s face before turning elsewhere. He had no interest in beauties.

The woman in black floated gently before the clamoring cultivators and asked in a soft voice, ”What exactly happened? Explain in detail.”

”Your Holiness, the area around Wu Kun Mountain has suddenly been placed under a flight restriction, and we can no longer fly. Could you please tell us what’s going on?” a cultivator asked loudly.

”Has such a thing truly happened?”

The black-clad young woman frowned and looked at the others around her. They all nodded, confirming the fact.

The black-clad young woman channeled her Mana and attempted to fly into the air. She rose merely three meters before abruptly falling back down.

”It’s true,” she exclaimed, startled.

Who could have laid down such a powerful no-fly restriction? The Wu Kun Mountain Black Market is under the control of my Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. For a powerful expert to arrive without my slightest knowledge... this is terrifying. If we provoke this powerhouse, my Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird could be implicated.

”I wonder which esteemed expert has graced this place with their presence? The Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird offers its sincerest apologies for any inadequate hospitality. Please forgive us!”

The black-clad young woman cupped her fists in a salute, bowed to her surroundings, and her voice rolled outwards in all directions.

The surrounding people exchanged glances, none daring to speak, all quietly awaiting the appearance of the legendary figure.

But after a moment, no one appeared.

The black-clad young woman sighed, realizing the formidable individual likely did not wish to reveal themselves.

”Everyone, disperse. Go on about your business,” the black-clad young woman instructed, then turned and walked away.

The Big Black Cat watched her, an appreciative look on his face. He whispered to Mao Bao’er, ”Little Kitty, look how clever that girl is! She’s much better than a blockhead like you.”

Mao Bao’er’s eyes reddened. Puffing her cheeks, she retorted, ”Brother, she’s at Destiny Realm Level 7! I’m only at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm. That’s a gap of two Major Realms!”

”That does make some sense,” the Big Black Cat muttered, smacking his lips, and said no more.

Ye Yun watched the black-clad young woman from afar, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.

The Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird... this insignificant little sect stirred some old memories. Back in the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range, he had dealt with people from the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. He hadn’t expected to encounter their Saintess here at Wu Kun Mountain. Thinking of the absurd things the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird did one hundred thousand years ago, Ye Yun found it rather amusing. They actually tried to offer him beauties to gain the favor of the Dragon God Sect. Only the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird would resort to such despicable tactics.

The black-clad young woman strolled down the street. As she passed by Ye Yun, she seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head.

One look, and she was instantly captivated by the unique aura radiating from the young man in white.

The young man before her was like an Immortal who had stepped out of an ancient painting. His demeanor was transcendent, and he radiated a faint, holy white light. He didn’t seem like an ordinary mortal cultivator at all.

The black-clad girl, who had always been proud and aloof, had never seen a man so handsome, dashing, and charming.

In an instant, she felt her heart pound wildly, and her beautiful face flushed slightly.

Unable to control herself, she took a step and walked towards Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was somewhat taken aback to see the black-clad woman approaching him, but he instantly understood.

After all, Ye Yun’s experience with romance was quite extensive. The way this woman was looking at him was highly unusual.

”Greetings, Young Master,” the black-clad young woman said gracefully, a smile on her lips. As she finished speaking, a blush deepened on her cheeks.

Ye Yun nodded.

Although he held a certain prejudice against the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, it didn’t mean he disliked everyone from that sect. The young woman before him seemed rather innocent, like someone experiencing the first stirrings of love. It reminded him of a certain confidante from his past.

The Big Black Cat at his side was very excited, continuously shaking Mao Bao’er’s robes.

Mao Bao’er glared at him accusingly. Why is he even more excited than Master now that this black-clad girl is hitting on him?

However, both knew to keep their mouths shut and merely exchanged looks.

Then, the black-clad young woman looked at Ye Yun and said softly, ”Young Master, I was wondering if I could invite you for a cup of tea?” Her voice was sweet, like celestial music.

”There’s no need,” Ye Yun replied, shaking his head immediately.

He had bluntly rejected the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird.

A mere Saintess from the insignificant Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, no matter how beautiful, could not enter his esteemed sight.

”How audacious! Our Saintess inviting you for tea is an honor! Don’t be ungrateful!” an elder standing nearby stepped forward, glaring angrily at Ye Yun.

”How dare you speak to our Master like that! Do you have a death wish?” The Big Black Cat bristled instantly, raising his Black Shield, poised to strike.

Ye Yun stood with his hands behind his back, silently observing the scene without saying a word.

The black-clad woman hurriedly pulled the elder beside her back, frowning as she said, ”Stand down.”

The old man’s face flushed crimson, but he dared not disobey the Saintess’s command and quickly retreated.

The black-clad young woman took two steps forward and said apologetically, ”Young Master, I apologize for startling you.”

Ye Yun stated indifferently, ”A mere cultivator at the Seventh Level of the Destiny Realm is beneath my notice.”

The black-clad woman paused, reassessing Ye Yun, but still found she could not discern his cultivation base.

Seeing that the girl in black intended to probe his cultivation base, Ye Yun shifted slightly, releasing a wisp of Super Divine Dragon Breath signifying the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm.

So he’s a Half-Step Life and Death Realm expert!

The black-clad young woman’s gaze focused slightly upon sensing the young man’s strength, and a faint unease stirred in her heart.

A Half-Step Life and Death Realm expert... Even if all of us present joined forces, we would be no match for him.

Seeing the young man in white’s indifference, the black-clad young woman felt a pang of disappointment. She offered a fist salute to Ye Yun and then turned to leave.
