It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists

Chapter 259: Mu Zhi’an: Operation Seduction! p1

The Two Polarities Sect’s grand formation was rarely activated.

Its nine smaller formations were located within the nine main peaks. Without Shang Yanfei’s order, the peak masters and elders wouldn’t have activated the long-dormant grand formation.

At this moment, within a Celestial Realm, the nine peak masters were gathered, a rare occurrence.

Over twenty elders guarded the formations of the nine main peaks, while the peak masters were here to check on the grand formation’s core.

Yi Hao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up at the moon in the sky… or rather, a beam of white light.

It was a gentle, warm light.

“What is that? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity towards it?” Yi Hao frowned, lost in thought.

Ning Yuan also looked up at the light. “The Sect Master must know something.”

They only knew that the Sect Master had ordered them to activate the grand formation, but they didn’t know the reason.

Could it be related to this white light in the sky?

“Junior Sister Yu is skilled in divination. Does she know anything?” the peak master of Hidden Sword Peak asked, his gaze shifting to Yu Xuanji, whose alluring figure was accentuated by her feathered robe.

The other peak masters also looked at her.

Heavenly Secrets Peak specialized in divination, and Junior Sister Yu was particularly skilled in this area. Perhaps she knew the answer.

However, Yu Xuanji simply shook her head and chuckled. “This has nothing to do with us. It’s best to suppress our curiosity and focus on our cultivation.”

Yu Ziyan asked, “It seems you know something, Junior Sister.”

“I haven’t performed any divination, but since the Sect Master has ordered us to activate the grand formation, it means that even if we knew the reason, it wouldn’t benefit us and might even cause trouble,” Yu Xuanji replied with a smile.

Yu Ziyan raised an eyebrow and looked up at the white light in the sky.

With the activation of the grand formation, the light that had initially illuminated the entire night sky was now reduced to a single beam.

However, its gentle glow still evoked a sense of comfort and trust.

Why would the Sect Master be so wary of this unknown white light, even going so far as to activate the grand formation and conceal Heavenly Secrets?

Yu Ziyan’s eyes flickered. She formed a hand seal and used Dao Peak’s secret technique to observe the light again.

This time, she froze, her expression changing slightly as she instinctively took a step back.

There was something strange about this white light!

“What’s wrong, Senior Sister?” Yu Xuanji, noticing her unusual behavior, immediately asked.

“This white light seems to have its own consciousness. It’s

Could it be that… Qian’er also received it?

Under her gaze, Ye Qian unfolded the paper crane, revealing its contents.

It was indeed the same message as the one she had received.

Ye Lingxuan also took out her paper crane and unfolded it.

The two sisters looked at each other in silence.

After a few seconds, Ye Qian broke the silence. “What is Master planning?”

“It seems it wasn’t just us. Sister Ruoxi and the others probably received it too.”

Ye Lingxuan, maintaining her elegant composure, said thoughtfully, “Regardless of her intentions, as long as we win the Ascension Ceremony, we can take him back to the Forbidden Zone, and no one can say anything, right?”

Ye Qian looked at her sister, shocked.

“Are you confident you can win, Sister?”

What if someone else won and took Mu Zhi’an away, and she never saw him again…?

“Sister Ruoxi and the others are all formidable opponents,” Ye Lingxuan said calmly. “But I’ll win.”

Her voice was filled with confidence, as if she were stating a simple fact.

It made sense. Ye Lingxuan had comprehended a trace of Dao Rhyme and was far stronger than ordinary Core Formation cultivators. It was no wonder she was so confident.

Ye Qian thought for a moment, then said, “What if Brother Mu ends up being your final opponent in the Ascension Ceremony? Are you confident you can defeat him, Sister?”

“Even if it’s him, I won’t hold back,” Ye Lingxuan said with a snort.

Although she had begged for mercy after being ‘suppressed’ by Mu Zhi’an tonight, in terms of pure strength, the Forbidden Zone’s Holy Maiden feared no one.

After winning the Ascension Ceremony, she would have Brother Mu move to Dexin Courtyard.

As Ye Lingxuan thought about this, she suddenly noticed a faint golden glow in the room. Then, a beautiful woman in a loose black robe silently appeared.

Compared to the two young ladies, Yu Ziyan exuded the charm of a mature woman. Even though she was frowning slightly tonight, her expression serious, it couldn’t conceal her allure.

“Master?” Ye Qian blurted out.

Yu Ziyan smiled gently. “It’s late. I hope I’m not disturbing your cultivation.”

Ye Qian shook her head, her posture demure as she held her sister’s hand. “We were just talking about Brother Mu.”

“Mu Zhi’an?” Yu Ziyan’s eyes held a hint of curiosity.

Ye Lingxuan discreetly placed a hand on Ye Qian’s and looked at the peak master of Dao Peak, whose alluring figure seemed to be in need of… nourishment.

“You must have an important reason for coming here so late, Master.”

Yu Ziyan’s smile faded slightly. “I’m here because I have something to ask you.”

Her gaze fixed on Ye Lingxuan. “You’ve comprehended a trace of Dao Rhyme?”

Ye Lingxuan blushed, hearing her master’s question, but she still nodded slightly.

“Is it the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, or the Human Dao?” Yu Ziyan asked again, her tone more serious.

Ye Lingxuan hesitated for a moment. “The Heavenly Dao.”

“But it seems… different from the ordinary Heavenly Dao,” she added.

While dual cultivating with Mu Zhi’an tonight, she had realized that choosing the Heavenly Dao would mean submitting to its control to a certain extent. Therefore, she had abandoned that path, intending to choose either the ‘Human Dao’ or the ‘Earthly Dao’ in the future.

However, after giving up on the Heavenly Dao, she had discovered a new one.

This Heavenly Dao was unique, different from the existing one. It felt more approachable and didn’t seem to impose its will upon cultivators.

As Ye Lingxuan finished speaking, Yu Ziyan immediately grabbed her wrist. Dao Peak’s secret techniques had unique insights into the ‘natural order’, somewhat similar to the Innate Spiritual Body.

As Ye Lingxuan relaxed, Yu Ziyan’s Spiritual Sense swiftly scanned her body. She looked at the young lady and murmured, as if realizing something, “I understand…”

Mu Zhi’an had asked her to investigate the cause of Wei Mengrou’s bad luck, but she had been stumped.

However, the white light in the sky tonight had given her a crucial clue.

Wei Mengrou’s bad luck… Even if they searched the entire sect… no, even if they searched the entire Nine Realms, they wouldn’t find anyone with worse luck.

But what if her bad luck wasn’t innate?
