Mingyin immediately turned around and saw Princess Mu Guiying stepping out of the ceiling. Floating in the air, she descended gracefully from the great height.Suddenly, she closed her eyes. When she reopened them, they had turned an electric blue-gold.
She plummeted downward as electric power completely covered her body. This electric surface suddenly popped like gas; the vapor flew through the air, shifting until it took the shape of human eyes. No life came from them—they were merely electric blue eyes, throbbing with lightning every passing second.Suddenly, she stood firm as a katana materialized in the air.
She drew it forward, aiming it directly at Mingyin.Nearby, Rou Wei and the rest of the standing immortals suddenly froze. Every immortal at the sage forward stage began to shake. They did not join the fight against Mingyin because they knew their cultivation was not enough. Even if they all attacked at the same moment to disrupt Mingyin's strike, their attacks could land on each other.
That would cause Rou Wei to suffer even harder consequences, to the point where he would have difficulty even standing.But as they saw the eyes of this princess, they all became terrified.An Eye Elevated user was here in the Region Continent!Mingyin's eyes tracked her, and he even found himself breaking into a sweat. An Eye Elevated user was someone descended from a powerful clan of the legendary trickster cultivator named Nayana.
Nayana's cultivation followed almost the same path as Mingyin's, but it was even stronger.While the Vision Path granted the Vision Fish style—which helped Mingyin's eyes track movements and guided him perfectly in whichever direction his eyes moved, allowing him to destroy any target he could see throughout the whole hall—his eyes could be said to surpass ninety-nine percent of their vision.
However, only Nayana would be different. His eyes moved at the speed of light, but only for ten minutes!Mingyin's could only be used for nine minutes!Judging by her aura, facial structure, bone age, eyes, eyelashes, and the way she stood, she was seventeen years old and at the Sage Artist Stage Four. She was the same rank as him, possessed better abilities than the Vision Path, and cultivated the Nayana Path.Suddenly, Mingyin moved forward, meeting her gaze.Just as suddenly, she froze. Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she halted immediately.
He looks not only flashy, but he is also beyond handsome, she thought. I have never seen a guy as handsome as him. No! Get your feelings out of this, idiot! I am the bravest warrior of all, just like my ancestor!Suddenly, she shook her head and stared at Mingyin, pointing a finger at him.
Her face turned wary, unable to show any comfort in those dark eyes of hers. She shook for a moment, thinking through what she should say, and then breathed out."You truly look like a beyond handsome young man," she declared. "And I, princess of the Nayana clan—the strongest of all clans in the Region Continent—have bestowed upon you a chance of becoming a bridge competitor for me!"Suddenly, Teinsei Jin and Shining Sask, who had just broken out from the gonads mist, fell down coughing.
They suddenly stood up, their eyes almost gouging out from shock.Rou Wei froze as he turned around. He noticed that only the male immortals looked shocked.
The female immortals stood entirely still, staring at Mingyin's face. In their eyes, he looked naturally, beyond-humanly handsome, and some of them blushed deep red. They hid it quickly, however, because he also looked unreal, insanely strong, dangerous, and like someone from another dimension.
But if they were being honest, everyone agreed he was incredibly handsome.What truly shocked Rou Wei, though, was that she was a Nayana person. From the way she spoke, she was a direct descendant of the ancestral Nayana people.
The Nayana people were fearsome warriors. They were an apex force that even top sects, like the Sovereign Apex Clan, could only destroy at the cost of losing forty percent of their military strength, resources, food, and farmers. They were perhaps the strongest clan in history and could rival almost any sect. They were once a sect themselves, but after being targeted by two powerful sects, they still managed to rival the Sovereign Apex Sect—the strongest sect alive.Now, Princess Nayana could represent a fifty percent hope.
The people of the Empire Continent were terrified of them, ranking them second only to the Immortal Continent. It was the most dangerous continent to survive on; the chance of dying there was higher than all the others combined. When a Nayana person faced someone, they would kill that person even if it killed them in return, unless their opponent proved overwhelmingly strong.
Those who cowed away were seen as scum; not even the women hesitated to share this ruthless ideology.Suddenly, Mingyin shook his head. He knew he possessed perhaps the most handsome features in the mortal world. His face was adorned with beautiful, glass-like patterns all over, and his beautiful, white-blue hair was styled in sharp spikes that held beautiful curls and shone brilliantly. His two eyes glowed a beautiful blue-white. He wore a beautiful tunic garment robe that floated silently in the wind.As he remained there looking at her, he shook his head one more time and placed his hand against his chest
."I do not truly flow with the concepts and emotions of this world," Mingyin said. "The essence of my Dao is to not be human, but to act as something that can appear human while remaining an intelligent, truly understanding being that is fundamentally not human. Right now, you are a stranger, and I have no interest in love or fake friendship—things I may never get and do not have.
I am not suited for you. I am a cultivator ready to die only for those I truly cherish and get excited around. I die for my dream, and you do not even fit into that category."Mu Guiying froze. Her entire eyes turned red from shock. Even Shining Sask looked confused.
If I were him, I would say yes, bow, and happily get tingly from her hugging me every day, Sask thought. Mingyin, you made such a huge mistake. I would have said yes!Shining Sask did not speak such thoughts aloud. He only looked forward, just as Teinsei Jin looked forward, while Mu Guiying turned around, observing her surroundings.
Why are there only pretty boys in my direction? she lamented internally. Ah, Grandma, you were right. Boys appear exactly when you are in trouble, but this guy just rejected me straight out!
Mu Guiying looked at him and smiled, and then she shook her head."Lad, you should know that a warrior of the Empire Continent—and especially a Nayana—takes no for an answer!" she proclaimed. "We are warriors. Fighting is our only chance to prove ourselves.
Winning is everything; if that were not the case, we would have been dead long ago. Peace is the only weakness in this world, a false ideology that should not be shaped."Mingyin nodded and retorted back with cold intent. "And that is why the sect that could once rival the Apex Clan was reduced to a mere clan not even worth looking at..."Mu Guiying froze and halted for a few minutes.
Her eyes shone like lightning, but her face turned wary."If I cannot have you, then nobody will!" she shouted.Mingyin's face instantly dropped pale, and his whole body shook from shock.What is with this girl? Mingyin thought frantically. I already have enough trouble.
If I accept her offer, I can grow stronger and escape the clan later on... but if I accept being her bridge, we need to sleep together!!!!!Mingyin, however, was unable to satisfy her desires. He was already well aware of how that path would end. Listening to his ultimate goal, he shook his head, though he remained on high alert.
This woman is a Nayana. They only fight people who are killable. She came here knowing I could be killed. If she kills me here, it is all over. But that means I can still kill her, too.Mu Guiying looked away with a sad expression.
Her face almost twisted with anger as she shook her head. "Why won't you?!"Suddenly, Mingyin grabbed the old man and flew straight up toward the ceiling.
He soared straight like an arrow, escaping the hall in the blink of an eye.Rou Wei yelled out in shock, "Fuck! We were too afraid to attack the Nayana princess! Shit, shit, shit!"The Nayana princess froze. The man of her dreams was escaping her grasp. She wanted to know Mingyin, but to think he would just flee!Teinsei Jin, however, could not help but sigh.
"Of course we didn't attack," shining Sask muttered. "While we belong to a powerful sect, it is still an unknown sect compared to the major ones. We are just a group of people.
A full sect governs multiple clans and the large territory of a continent, and we govern no continent. We would just lose more than we need to, losing sixty percent of our artifact resources and hidden territories.
We only have four Peak Artists, while they have ten. Whatever. We can still destroy the clan, but the Empire Continent won't let it go after the clash of destruction..."
