On the other side, the immortal girl was terrified by the sound. Even in the Immortal Realm, she had met no one who could do that.
Her immortal qi turned cold the moment that simple sound from testing the guqin appeared. She looked up, and the Heavenly Dao shivered in fear. It was not because of her, but because of that terrifying sound.
She gazed again towards the Moonlit Jade Pavilion. The pavilion she could see through before was now covered by a thin veil, and this veil was so, so powerful she couldn't see through it at all. Her blood also turned cold. 'Just what kind of being is he, that even a technique that can see through Immortal Sovereigns can't see him at all?'
She sighed when the sound came again.
Huai, after testing the guqin for a few seconds, put both of his hands upon the strings, then closed his eyes for a second. Then it started.
He started playing a tune.
"Ting! Ting... ting... ting, ting, ting."
The whole Yuxin Galaxy froze. The Phantom Shadow Lord and Mei Ling both stopped in their actions, as if an invisible force had interrupted their whole bodies.
The more the tune appeared in the void, the more shadows started to fall to the ground from the sky. Their shadow ability stopped working, as if the sound of the tune interrupted them.
Phantom Shadow Lord shouted, "Kill the person inside that pavilion!"
Other Galaxy-level beings immediately ran towards the pavilion from different planets. When the tune changed suddenly, it became dangerous and invasive.
"Ting! Ting!... Ting... TING TING TING..."
Ethereal soul figures appeared from the released tone. Figure upon figure, carrying white blades, immediately poured out from the Moonlit Jade Pavilion, and with a swipe of their blades, shadow creatures started to die pile upon pile. In just a few seconds, thousands of Nether Shadow creatures died.
Phantom Shadow Lord couldn't move at all. He looked at Mei Ling and asked, "Did... did you still have that immortal protecting your Jade Serenity Palace?"
Mei Ling, who also couldn't move from her place, sneered, "So what if she is still here? She is my master... do you think you can do anything just because you have that filthy immortal in your Shadow Palace..."
Yes, the person who injured her master was from the Nether Shadow Race, an immortal from their place.
Phantom Shadow Lord sneered, "Don't be happy yet. If our master finds out that bitch is still here, he'll take action himself, then..."
"Ting!"
A sharp tune pierced all the orifices in the Phantom Shadow Lord's body. Blood started dripping out from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
He screamed loudly,
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Mei Ling looked at the pavilion with glittering eyes. Although her master had said before she wouldn't take action herself, this time she did. She felt happiness in her heart.
The tune played again. This time, in a single sweep, those millions of shadow creatures died while the ethereal entities cut their throats in precise cuts.
Phantom Shadow Lord was the last. A single tune played and his body and soul were cut into a million pieces with a terrifying scream. He never thought in his life he'd die here.
The tune changed again, now gentle, as gentle as pure water. Inside the pavilion, Leng Yuehua looked at Huai in horror. She had just seen what this person did just now. With a single tune, he killed millions of Nether Shadow creatures. And his demeanor — his white dress floating in the air while still sitting, his body emitting a golden light all around, his black hair fluttering in the air... and then his veil also slid off from his face. Each and every one inside the pavilion gasped. A divine being, looking like a divine being himself, had descended to their galaxy.
Huai started playing a different tune now.
"Tingggg... ting ting!"
A wave of healing power emitted from this tune and then passed throughout the whole Yuxin Star, then outwards inside every living planet and each and every corner of the Yuxin Galaxy.
The injured humans felt their bodies healed in front of their eyes. Severed limbs started appearing in their place. Everyone looked at their bodies and became so, so happy that they started laughing and jumping crazily.
The immortal girl inside the room looked at her injured arm, that was already healed to its normal state now. Even the poison was eliminated by itself by the tune. Her face became serious. In the Immortal World she is from a powerful force, but still, using all her resources, she couldn't heal her wounds. And now an unknown person treated her using just a simple tune.
She grabbed Xiao Yu's hand and left the secret room for the first time in years. She was going towards the Jade Pavilion.
Huai played the last part of the tune, then stopped.
Inside the pavilion, the moment Huai stopped, everyone except Wuhe and Yan ,from the lowest cultivators to the highest, Leng Yuehua all kowtowed toward Huai.
They said in unison, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving our lives."
Huai just nodded and didn't say anything for a moment. Then he saw his jar of plum wine was already empty, so he looked at Leng Yuehua, embarrassed. "Can you bring me a bottle of your plum wine?" he asked with an awkward smile.
Leng Yuehua was surprised for a moment, then covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled. "Why not! Let me get you some." She looked toward the girl in the blue dress, the attendant from before. The girl immediately nodded and vanished from the crowd. Everyone was discussing among themselves right now.
Huai came down from the platform and walked toward Wuhe, who was looking at him mesmerized, his eyes shining, his wolf inside howling nonstop at the sight of his mate.
Huai asked smugly, "How was it? Am I good at music?"
Yan put up a thumbs up and commented, "You're the best, Master!"
Wuhe blurted out at the same moment, nodding his head, "Yan is right. You're the best among the best, Master!"
Huai's heartbeat stopped for a moment. Wuhe had said that word again. It felt normal coming from anyone else, but hearing it from Wuhe made him uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth. "Don't say that word!"
Wuhe chuckled, looking at Huai teasingly. "Why? You don't want to be my master?" Huai knew exactly what he meant. His whole face turned red with shame, and his ears grew hot in seconds.
Yan commented from the side, "Heh! Grand Elder, I'm still here. At least show me some mercy..."
Wuhe rolled his eyes at Yan and sneered, "As if I don't know. Just a moment ago, someone wanted to drink the plum wine..."
Yan stopped immediately and gulped at the mere mention of plum wine. Huai clenched his fist and then bonked Wuhe on the head. Wuhe winced in pain while Huai shouted, "Why are you arguing with a child?"
Wuhe grabbed his head, a bead of tears coming out of his eyes from the hit. "What child? He already regained his memories as the Dragon Ancestor..."
Yan looked at Wuhe in confusion and asked, "You knew?"
Wuhe sneered back, "What do you think of yourself? Not just me, your master also knows about it..."
Yan looked at his master, who was still holding up his fist. Yan swallowed his words when Huai said, "Don't even think about drinking wine yet. No matter if you were the Dragon Ancestor before or not, in this life... you are my disciple and you're only twelve. Don't drink until you're eighteen."
Yan almost cried and screamed in his head, 'What do you mean, disciple in this life... you were my master even in my previous one... and you did the same thing back then too... you didn't even let me have too much alcohol back then...'
Yes, Yan was the Dragon Ancestor, and he liked to drink alcohol so much that he always carried a jar with him. But after meeting his master Huai, Huai forbade him from drinking too much.
The attendant girl came out from inside the pavilion, carrying a space pouch in her hand. She gave it to Leng Yuehua, who immediately came forward and gave it to Huai.
Huai felt confused. Didn't he just ask for a single bottle? Then he looked inside the pouch. There were at least 100,000 bottles of plum wine. His eyes lit up instantly. He took out a bottle and drank a mouthful of wine. Wuhe chuckled at the side, looking at Huai, while Yan gulped down his saliva... inside cursing himself for why he was only twelve.
At the same time outside, the immortal girl was standing alongside Xiao Yu.
Mei Ling and the elders from the Jade Serenity Palace all landed behind them.
Mei Ling immediately bowed toward the girl. "Master! Thank you for saving our lives..."
Seeing Mei Ling bow toward a girl of about twenty-six or twenty-seven, everyone became confused. The elders looked at Mei Ling for an answer. She sighed then explained, "She is my master. She is an immortal... I'll tell you the details later... she is the one who saved us just now..."
The elders looked at the girl in horror. An immortal! A living immortal... Everyone cultivates to gain immortality, and a real immortal is actually staying inside their own galaxy?
The immortal girl shook her head and said, "Mei Ling, it was not me who saved you or your galaxy. I was injured a moment ago..." Then she raised her hand that was completely healed now.
Mei Ling looked at her master, confused, then her eyes lit up instantly. "Master! Your hand is healed? Then what do you mean you didn't save us? Then who was it? Who has the power to do that a moment ago...?"
The immortal girl looked at the door of the pavilion and said in a serious tone, "That person is inside. Don't show disrespect to that person. Even I can't see through the veil cast by that person..."
Mei Ling and the elders felt cold all over their bodies. An unknown person saved them and their galaxy just now... and even an immortal from the Immortal World can't see through his veil.
Alongside the immortal girl, everyone bowed toward the pavilion, grabbing both of their hands in front in salute. Even Xiao Yu and Mei Ling did the same. "Mei Ling, alongside Immortal Lord Bai Liuli, Xiao Yu, and the elders of the Jade Serenity Palace wish to meet Your Highness!"
A gentle voice came from inside, "Come in!"
Inside, Huai was sitting on his seat again with Wuhe and Yan, while Leng Yuehua was serving him, and the performers had started performing again. The other cultivators from various forces also sat back in their seats, watching the performance played by the performers... but their main topic of discussion had become the unknown divine being inside the hall.
