"Senior Sister, someone has already gone to report to the hall master over there."

Little Hua listened and nodded heavily, trying to delay the person as much as possible; it was definitely unwise to fight him now.

In the Azure Dragon Hall, purple bamboo stood tall, lush with branches and leaves, and plain flowers covered the ground. A young woman in green clothes was meditating and cultivating.

As one of the four hall masters of the Jade Clear Sect, she was Qingya, the hall master of the Azure Dragon Hall. The other three hall masters were Misty Fog of the Xuanwu Hall, Wildfire of the Vermilion Bird Hall, and Bai Qi of the Baihu Hall.

Qingya's strength was not to be underestimated; it was rumored that she could keep up with the Twelve Elders. However, because Qingya herself pursued the heavenly way, she rarely appeared, so few outer disciples had ever truly seen her. She was quite similar to Mengdie, with her face covered by a light veil and dressed in purple clothes, which was also proof of being the chief hall master of the wood series. However, Qingya was two ranks lower in position, and Mengdie resided and rooted in the North Mysterious Hall due to practicing water-based techniques, which led Qingya to handle some of the Azure Dragon Hall's affairs.

"Master, something terrible has happened."

An inner disciple rushed into the inner hall, explaining the situation and detailing how Sky Shadow had come and hit people.

Qingya was slightly stunned at the news, "Hmm, is this possible?" It seemed this person was very powerful; she wasted no time and strode out of the room. With the Gale Technique, Qingya moved like a swimming dragon, appearing leisurely between steps but arriving outside the hall in no time, ethereal and almost divine.

"Who are you?"

"Hmm? Mengdie..." Sky Shadow was slightly startled, not to mention at first glance, the woman before him was quite similar to Mengdie. If seen from afar and not looked closely, she could indeed be mistaken for Mengdie because both had a veil hiding their faces and remarkable temperament. But upon closer inspection, their clothing had some differences, and the key was that Mengdie seldom spoke.

So, what made Sky Shadow pause was not the visitor but that Mengdie unexpectedly spoke. In all the years he had known Mengdie, he had only heard her say four words, often just a soft 'hmm' without further speech, and once, while clearing up a broken dish, Mengdie had uttered 'not me.'

However, careful observation revealed many differences between her and Mengdie, like the color of their clothes and accessories; Mengdie still had some decorations on her head, but this woman did not wear anything. Of course, there were also some differences in their eyebrows.

As for what differences there were, Sky Shadow had not looked carefully because he did not want to waste more time. Finding two children was now crucial; only by finding the children was there hope. Therefore, to Qingya's questioning, Sky Shadow replied without hesitation: "I am Sky Shadow, and I have dealt with Jade Clear Sect before."

"What? Sky Shadow?" Qingya was slightly surprised; rumors from years ago suddenly emerged in her mind, when the Jade Clear Sect fought against someone named Sky Shadow during the Twin Stars event. Although these were Jade Clear Sect secrets, it was undeniable that Sky Shadow's fame was frighteningly large. Back then, he faced an encirclement by four Protectors and twelve Elders but somehow managed to severely injure and fight desperately with two of them, clearly showing the extraordinary strength of Sky Shadow. To think that this person appeared in the Jade Clear Sect.

Sky Shadow could see the surprise on the opponent's face and said, "Since you know my name, you should quickly find your sect leader to talk to me."

"That depends on whether you have that ability." Qingya, knowing Sky Shadow was formidable, would not alert the sect master just because anyone showed up; she wanted to test it herself.

"No matter how many come, it's the same. I advise you not to seek trouble. I'm not interested in you."

With her brows knitted, Qingya uttered no more words and made an incantation with one hand. Suddenly, several wind blades shot out around her, aiming directly at Sky Shadow. Though merely a probing attack, it was lethal to ordinary people.

Swoosh...

The wind blades, formed by gathering energy, were blown away by mere momentum just two meters before reaching Sky Shadow. During this time, Sky Shadow did not move; he did not even attempt to use any aura to resist, and the wind blades dissipated two meters away from him like candles in the wind.

"You understand the gap now? I don't want to waste time. Go call Wu Tian, your sect leader, unless you want me to take action myself." Sky Shadow spoke as he strode towards the Azure Dragon Hall...

At this moment, Qingya realized the issue, or rather, the person before her might be even more formidable than the rumors suggested. For she distinctly noticed that this person did not resist at all, allowing the wind blades to cut through, but the attack dissipated without hitting the target. What kind of terrifying power must this guy possess?

Admittedly, that wind blade was not Qingya's strongest attack, but it was an attack nonetheless, a method capable of easily taking lives, yet this person dodged neither, ignored them entirely. It's...

Realizing that he was something she could not handle, Qingya instead sighed deeply and said, "Hold, I will relay your words."

Upon hearing her say this, Sky Shadow's steps halted, closing his eyes and ignoring his surroundings. One had to admit that Sky Shadow was arrogant, rebellious, and unrestrained in the past. However, with years of change, his personality seemed to gradually settle, no longer as sharp as before.

Wu Tian, who had just exited seclusion, was keen to check on the two children. Before he even had time to eat, he saw Qingya, the hall master of Azure Dragon Hall, reporting, "Master, there's a big problem."

Wu Tian's easy demeanor immediately changed; he could read Qingya's solemn expression, "What is it?"

"Master, there's someone named Sky Shadow outside of Azure Dragon Hall saying he wants to see you, claiming to have dealt with Jade Clear Sect before."

"Sky Shadow..." Wu Tian's mind instantly connected with this person. Why has he come to Jade Clear Sect? Wu Tian asked Qingya, "What else did he say?"

"I don't know, but some disciples mentioned the matter being related to Feng Wu and Feng Luo."

Wu Tian was surprised again upon hearing this; Feng Wu and Feng Luo were indeed Sky Shadow's targets. The news of Sky Shadow's arrival at Jade Clear Sect had already taken him by surprise, but the most unexpected was Feng Wu and Feng Luo. Neither the Federal Government nor John of the Blazing Flame Corps had come looking for the children, yet Sky Shadow appeared. This raised suspicion in Wu Tian's previously calm heart.

"Master, I will meet him." The little Protector beside him offered, especially remembering being ambushed and severely injured by Sky Shadow years ago. The thought made her face turn cold.

"Sky Shadow is not someone you can handle now. I will meet him myself." Wu Tian indicated to the surrounding Protectors and Elders not to confront him, acknowledging their greater strength. As the opponent had arrived with formidable power, he had no reason to assume superiority.

Of course, Wu Tian was not clear about Sky Shadow's strength now, but he knew one thing: years ago, Sky Shadow could fight against a multitude of Protectors and Elders, and he must be stronger now. Instead of breaking ties and indiscriminately fighting, it was better to open up and hear what he wanted to say.

After a short while, Wu Tian, accompanied by others, arrived at the main courtyard of the Azure Dragon Hall.

Many disciples looked at each other and talked about the visitor. Upon seeing the master appear, a crowd gathered on both sides of the main hall, glaring angrily.

Looking at Sky Shadow, though he did not attack other disciples along the way, he had made the environment quite messy. Now the tension was becoming tight. Though there was no more communication between them, the looks exchanged between Sky Shadow, Wu Tian, and the other disciples seemed cold.

Wu Tian looked him up and down, seeing neither apprehension in this person nor vigilance could be observes. It's hard to believe someone like this could have severely injured Protectors and Elders years ago.

"Are you Sky Shadow?"

"Correct."

"Why did you injure my disciples without reason? And what do you seek with the two children, Feng Luo and Feng Wu?"

"Hmph." Sky Shadow sneered, "I'll answer you one by one."
