The two Daoist nuns were Huai Ren and Huai Shu. After the internal strife of South Stream Temple, they had restarted their travels. Based on the agreement, they could at least return to Holy Maiden Peak every ten years for the grand ceremony to the stars. No one would have expected them to have stealthily entered the capital and taken up residence in the Prince of Louyang's old estate.
At Xu Yourong's words, Huai Ren calmly replied, ”Temple Master's words are of utmost importance, and this deed will let us atone for our crimes.”
Huai Shu recalled that bloody light in South Stream Temple and found it hard to control her rage. She said, ”Shang Xingzhou used Huai Bi to stir a storm, so how can we act as he desires?”
Huai Ren calmly said, ”If our Dao hearts had been calm, how could we have been used by him?”
Her senior sister's words caused Huai Shu to restrain her anger. She looked at Xu Yourong and gave her an admiring and grateful gaze, then nodded her head and said no more.
The several hundred disciples of South Stream Temple entering the capital today had sent massive shocks throughout the populace. An elder like Huai Shu naturally took great pleasure in seeing such unprecedented brilliance.
In the past, if South Stream Temple had made such a display of power, before the Great Zhou Imperial Court would even have time to say anything, the Li Palace would have already taken action.
Fortunately, the Li Palace was in a standoff with the Great Zhou Imperial Court, increasing the importance of the southern sects and giving South Stream Temple this sort of opportunity.
Of course, creating such an array of forces and seizing this opportunity was also an extremely difficult task.
Xu Yourong was still very young and had not yet entered the Divine Domain. Unlike the previous Holy Maiden, she could sufficiently intimidate the Great Zhou Imperial Court. But her relationship with the Li Palace was the closest of all Holy Maidens'. Moreover, the motivational power and determination she had displayed in this matter were truly worthy of respect.
A fake mountain was erected behind the estate's rear gate, with several jade-green plants growing on it.
A cold wind blew through, covering the leaves of those plants in a thin layer of frost.
”Everything's fine at the Xue clan. Do you want me to tell Chen Changsheng?”
A black-clothed girl appeared and spoke to Xu Yourong.
Sensing the rapid drop of temperature within the princely estate, Huai Shu quickly guessed this girl's identity. Her complexion slightly changed as she subconsciously took a step back.
In her travels around the world with her senior sister, she had seen many impressive sights and strange people. Logically speaking, an expert half a step from the Divine should not have made her feel fear.
But Black Frost Dragons were divine creatures of the highest level, innately pressuring the souls of human experts.
The little Black Dragon had gotten used to this sort of response and she did not much care, but the other Daoist nun had attracted her interest.
Huai Ren had a very calm expression and had not been affected by her appearance. She acted like she did not know of the Black Dragon's background.
The little Black Dragon took measure of her and then said, ”You're very strong.”
There were few people on this continent that she felt were strong.
In South Stream Temple's internal strife, Huai Bi had suddenly used the Divine Finger of the Worldstream to seal Huai Ren's most important Qi openings. Despite being forced into a passive state, Huai Ren had still been easily able to reverse the situation. At the time, Chen Changsheng had felt that this Daoist nun had an unfathomable level of strength.
The Black Dragon turned to Xu Yourong, somewhat shocked and rather confused.
Just what was she planning to do by inviting an expert like this to live in the Prince of Louyang's old estate?
Xu Yourong said nothing, only gazed at a nearby estate.
This estate was screened by high walls, making it impossible to see the luxurious buildings within. All that was visible were the high eaves of its roofs.
Sculptures of beasts were crouched at the corners of these eaves, adorned in golden scales, seeming both like a dragon and not a dragon.
