Among the top families, there was the Si Family, which had fallen on hard times and was easily subdued by Qingyu, and the Lin Family in Shu Province, who was thriving like the midday sun.

In comparison, the Jiang Family was more than just thriving in East Province; placed in any other province, nobody would dare to underestimate them. Their influence could be said to be second only to the Daqian Royal Family, and even in terms of heritage, they were even more profound than the Royal Family.

After all, in contrast to the Jiang Family, which had a heritage of more than three thousand years, the Imperial Family had a mere three hundred years.

"Then, who was the fiancé of the Guanghan Palace Master back in the day?"

Intuition told Qingyu that this fiancé was also no ordinary figure. According to the usual patterns, there was a great possibility that the fiancé was the current patriarch of the Jiang Family.

If Yun Wuyue later confirmed the person to be who Qingyu suspected, then he would have no choice but to bid farewell.

"The fiancé is already dead, you need not worry," Yun Wuyue seemed to sense Qingyu's resolve, and said.

"The fiancé of the Guanghan Palace Master back then was none other than Jiang Haoyun, the brother of the current Jiang Family Patriarch, Jiang Haogang. Jiang Haoyun died at the hands of Jiang Haogang during their struggle for the position of Patriarch of the Jiang Family."

Yun Wuyue's hands were covered with a surge of cold air, forming a frost mirror, which displayed the face of a cold-looking woman.

'With a divine seal appearance, Yun Wuyue's realm within the Divine Origin Realm is not shallow.' Qingyu cast a brief glance at her.

Projecting one's own thoughts into the outside world is known as using the power of Thought. Although Yun Wuyue was projecting onto a frost mirror formed from True Qi, and not directly into the outside world as magically, it still indicated that her Divine Origin Cultivation was profound and that she had reached the late stages of the Divine Origin.

After a moment of reflection, Qingyu turned his gaze towards the woman displayed in the frost mirror.

The woman had her hair held up in a long waterfall style, her cold yet beautiful face unadorned with makeup, naturally exuding a beauty that was complemented by the similar white gown she wore to Yun Wuyue's, making her resemblance to Yun Wuyue so striking that they could be considered sisters.

"Who is she?" Qingyu asked.

"The only daughter of Jiang Haoyun, the current Young Palace Master of the Guanghan Immortal Palace. After the death of Jiang Haoyun, the Guanghan Palace Master took her out of the Jiang Family secretly and took her as a Direct Disciple.

However, the Young Palace Master has always been intent on avenging her father and, now that her cultivation has achieved some success, she has started planning her revenge. Although the Guanghan Immortal Palace is a reclusive sect, they do not hide away from the world forever. Cultivating in isolation doesn't create true masters, which is why every ten years, they send out a group of disciples for real-world experience.

August 15th, which is next month, happens to be the day they venture out for their real-world experience."

"August 15th, huh? That's indeed an interesting day." Qingyu looked up at the moon in the sky and chuckled lightly.

In the myths, Chang'e flew to the moon on August 15th, and in reality, the fairies of the Guanghan Immortal Palace were set to leave the sect and enter the mortal world. Indeed, quite a special day had been chosen.

"Is that her? Your target?" Qingyu studied the woman in the frost mirror carefully and said.

A very beautiful woman, it was a pity that she was destined for an untimely demise.

Indeed, Qingyu had already decided to lend a hand to Yun Wuyue. However, the price Yun Wuyue offered was not high enough.

"Why not ask someone from the Yin Demon Sect to help?"

Qingyu wanted to know why nobody from the Yin Demon Sect had taken action and why they had approached an outsider. If it related to the Young Sect Master's path, even Yin Tianxia's secret assistance was a possibility, so why involve an outsider?

"My master has his reasons for not being able to act, and neither can our fellow disciples. This matter can only depend on me," Yun Wuyue said blandly.

'What could the reason be?'

The Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Skill operated quietly, and the Power of Thought also stealthily probed, aiming to uncover the reason why the people of the Yin Demon Sect could not act.

However, Qingyu's gaze was blocked by a piece of cold moonlight.

Inside the Heart Lake of Yun Wuyue, a full moon shone brightly, protecting her spirit, keeping external evil at bay.

"Indeed, you have a secret technique for spying into the hearts of others!" Yun Wuyue's eyes turned as cold as if they could freeze the air, seemingly wanting to encase Qingyu's body in ice.

'Tsk, caught.'

Yun Wuyue had had several encounters with Qingyu, and they had even killed a few people together. This woman, who always seemed cold and detached as if nothing mattered, actually had a careful and thoughtful heart and had been paying attention to some details about Qingyu.

So, today, she had discovered one of Qingyu's secrets.

"Let's stick to the matter of your deal, shall we? Mere information is not enough to make me oppose a formidable enemy like the Guanghan Palace," Qingyu said, casually changing the subject as he ignored her icy look.

Hearing this, Yun Wuyue's gaze grew even colder.

But Qingyu remained unmoved.

To have been betrothed to the once candidate for the position of Jiang Family Patriarch, Jiang Haoyun, suggested that the strength of the Guanghan Immortal Palace was extraordinary. Moreover, since Yin Tianxia became one of the Strongest thanks to the Sect's Divine Skill, it indicated a ninety-nine percent chance that the Immortal Palace housed Divinity Realm warriors.

Being already in deep waters, Qingyu naturally wasn't afraid to make a few more enemies, but not caring was one thing and whether it was worth it was another.

Without sufficient benefit, why would Qingyu take the risk?

Yun Wuyue's icy gaze eventually retreated under the double protection of Qingyu's thick-skinned dark gold mask. She blinked her somewhat dry eyes and said, "If you help me, the Yin Demon Sect owes you a favor. Within reasonable limits, the Sect can assist you once."

"Including assistance with..." Qingyu communicated something to Yun Wuyue using a voice transmission technique that he needed help with.

After thinking it over for a moment, Yun Wuyue slowly nodded: "It's possible."

'It seems the Yin Demon Sect truly has its reasons for not being able to act,' Qingyu thought to himself.

However, this was also good; if the Yin Demon Sect could assist, the success rate of Qingyu's plans would increase significantly.

"But that being the case, your offer is still not enough, Dragon Chief!" Yun Wuyue emphasized the last three words.

Indeed, it wasn't enough. Merely assisting Qingyu with that matter was enough for him to take a risk. Not to mention there was also the information!

After a brief consideration, Qingyu asked, "You've been practicing your Sword Skill recently?"

That flash of sword light earlier could not have been achieved without hard effort. If it had been a weaker individual of the Divine Origin Realm, that one strike could have inflicted serious injury.

"Yes," Yun Wuyue nodded.

After advancing to the Divine Origin, Yun Wuyue could practice a wider range of Martial Arts. The 'Taiyin Soul Slaying Saber' that she had used before was one of her newly acquired techniques.

"In that case, I will pass on a Sword Technique to you. Although it cannot compare to the 'Taiyin Jade Chapter' taught by your master, it can still help you gain insights into the Sword Path and improve your proficiency."

Qingyu's eyes sparkled as they met Yun Wuyue's starry gaze.

Then, Yun Wuyue saw...

A curved moonlight streaked down, catching her eye and seeming to split her pupils in two.
