"A second glance could topple a nation."
"Thrice visited, my heart was won over."
"This must be the renowned Snowfall Manor of Sangu City."
A wealthy young man dressed in a snow-white mink coat slowly walked into the manor, looking around at the bustling scene.
Tang Lian, standing to the side, exclaimed, "Xiao Se, are you really just the owner of Snowfall Manor? How come you seem to know everything?"
Xiao Se ignored him, but looked at the serious-looking Tang Lian and said with a smile:
"This place is a notorious den of iniquity; it's quite normal to lose ten thousand taels of silver in a single night of gambling."
"Young Master Tang, do you have any money on you to bring us to a place like this?"
Tang Lian said seriously, "We're not here to play around. This is a stronghold of Snowmoon City. Once we're here, we can feel at ease."
"Reassured? I doubt it."
At this moment, a man in white robes and with white hair appeared and blocked Tang Lian and her group's path.
Tang Lian stared at him and said, "It's you? This golden coffin belongs to Snow Moon City. Are you sure you want to steal it?"
"It seems you still don't know what you're escorting."
"This coffin does not belong to your Snowmoon City."
"Leave the coffin behind, and you may leave."
The man in white, with white hair, said coldly.
Suddenly, petals rained down from the sky, and a stunningly beautiful woman descended from the heavens, landing steadily between the two.
She is the owner of Snowfall Villa, and also the villa's top courtesan—Tiannvrui.
"This is Snowfall Manor. We do not welcome people who have nothing to do with the affairs of the martial world."
Tian Nu Rui smiled and said to the man in white.
The man in white squinted and said, "If you knew who I am, you wouldn't dare say that."
"Beyond the heavens, a white-haired immortal."
"This name certainly carried weight twelve years ago, but it's nothing special now."
Tiannu Rui gently swayed her waist and said lazily.
The white-haired immortal narrowed his eyes sharply and said coldly, "How do you know my name?"
Tian Nu Rui chuckled: "It seems you've been in the Outer Heavens for too long. Don't you know there's a Celestial Mystery Immortal in Snow Moon City now?"
"The Celestial Immortal?"
The white-haired immortal frowned. "Recently, there has indeed been talk of this person in the martial arts world of Beili. Could it be that he told you about him?"
"That's right. The Celestial Immortal can see through the secrets of heaven. He foresaw that you would come to snatch this coffin and specially sent someone to inform me."
Tiannv Rui said smugly.
"Not only that, Mr. Su also anticipated that the people from Wushuang City would get involved, and even brought the Wushuang Sword Box with him."
After Tiannu Rui finished speaking, she stared straight into the darkness in the southeast corner.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
A dozen or so people leaped out of the darkness, the leader of whom was menacing and was none other than the people from Wushuang City.
Beside him, a boy carrying a sword case yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
"Is that Lu Yuzhai from Wushuang City?"
Tang Lian recognized the person's identity at a glance.
Lu Yuzhai said, "I was skeptical before about whether the Celestial Mystery Immortal could see through everything, but now I am completely convinced."
It wasn't difficult to figure out that Wushuang City would be involved in this case, but the Wushuang Sword Box was Wushuang City's secret. If they could even figure that out, then it was terrifying.
The white-haired immortal looked at everyone present and sneered, "That clairvoyant immortal is so powerful, did he foresee that all of you combined wouldn't be a match for me?"
Tian Nu Rui circled around him with a smile and said, "Of course I figured it out. He also said that as long as I can hold you off for a while, the Third City Lord is already on his way."
"The Gun Immortal Sikong Changfeng?"
The white-haired immortal's face turned serious, and he frowned and said, "Rumors in the martial world say that my Heavenly Outer Heaven is this and that, yet you dare to get so close to me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you first?"
"The Celestial Immortal has already said so in the letter."
"Although the White-Haired Immortal looks cold, he is actually quite reasonable and won't hold a grudge against us younger generations."
"If that's the case, then of course I'm not afraid."
Tian Nv Rui said with a relaxed expression.
The White-Haired Immortal was completely convinced, feeling that all his secrets had been seen through by the Celestial Immortal.
Although they had never met, he already felt a sense of awe towards Su Chen.
Tang Lian, Xiao Se, Lu Yuzhai, and the others were also stunned.
They were initially at a clear disadvantage, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed because of a letter from the Celestial Immortal.
Since the Celestial Immortal knew everything, the White-Haired Immortal was too lazy to take action and simply stood there quietly.
Tian Nv Rui, Tang Lian, and the others dared not make any rash moves and could only stand there with them.
Half an hour later, Sikong Changfeng finally arrived.
He was stunned by the scene before him.
How is this going?
After hearing Tian Nv Rui's explanation, Si Kong Changfeng finally understood and sighed, "It's true that the Celestial Mystery Immortal was very thoughtful. Snow Moon City owes him a favor."
Taking the opportunity, Tiannu Rui asked, "Third City Lord, you must have seen the Celestial Mystery Immortal, right? What does he look like?"
Sikong Changfeng recalled for a moment and slowly said, "Mr. Su is like a celestial being descended to earth. His temperament and demeanor are enough to make women all over the world fall in love with him."
"Is there really such a person in the world? I'd like to see it for myself."
Tiannu Rui, who was already interested in the Celestial Immortal, became even more curious at this moment.
Sikong Changfeng shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: It seems another girl is about to fall for it.
"You are the White-Haired Immortal?"
"Twelve years ago, Tianwaitian and the various sects of Beili Jianghu made a pact to lock the mountains and rivers."
"The deadline hasn't passed yet, and you've already come. Are you trying to break the contract?"
Sikong Changfeng looked coldly at the white-haired immortal and said.
The white-haired immortal said, "Sikong Changfeng, do you know what the golden coffin is? We from the Outer Heavens must take it with us."
"Then you'll have to get past me first."
With a wave of his hand, Sikong Changfeng drew the sword box behind Wushuang to him.
"Hey! Give me back my sword case!"
Wushuang was stunned and rushed forward to try to take it back, but was stopped by Lu Yuzhai.
Click!Click!Click!
Under Sikong Changfeng's urging, the sword box slowly opened, revealing thirteen famous swords arranged in order.
Six longswords—Cloud Shuttle, Azure Frost, Phoenix Flute, Red Leaf, Butterfly, and Shadowless—flew out and headed straight for the White-Haired Immortal.
Then, six swords—Broken Calamity, Killing Life, Jade Ruyi, Soft Finger, Azure, and Vast—flew out and attacked the White-Haired Immortal together.
Simultaneously wielding twelve swords!
Wushuang was stunned, muttering to himself, "Is this the power of the Great Freedom Realm?"
The scene was now in complete chaos.
The combined power of the two powerful cultivators at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm caused the buildings in the manor to collapse one by one simply from the aura they emitted.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the golden coffin in the hall suddenly exploded, startling Lei Wujie, who was closest to it.
"A ghost! It's come back to life!"
Lei Wujie's eyes widened, too frightened to speak.
A young monk dressed in white emerged from the golden coffin. He looked to be only a teenager, yet he exuded an eerie aura.
As soon as he appeared, both the White-Haired Immortal and Sikong Changfeng stopped.
“Amitabha, this humble monk Wuxin greets all benefactors.”
The eerie monk smiled and bowed to the crowd.
The white-haired immortal stepped forward and said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely bring you back to the Outer Heavens."
The address "Young Master" caused the people present to show expressions of confusion once again.
The monk named Wuxin smiled and slowly said, "I originally planned to return to Tianwaitian after handling the old monk's funeral, but now I've changed my mind."
"Changed your mind?"
The white-haired immortal frowned.
“That’s right. Before returning to the Outer Heavens, I need to go to Snow Moon City to ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal for a divination.”
Wuxin's tone was calm, yet it exuded an undeniable authority.
After thinking for a while, the white-haired immortal nodded and said, "Alright, then I will wait for the young master for a while longer."
After saying that, he flew away.
Watching the white-haired immortal leave, Sikong Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then his face darkened, and he said coldly:
"Qianluo, why aren't you coming out? How long are you going to hide?"
As he finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from the roof beam.
A spirited young woman jumped down from above, holding a silver spear in her hand, and asked with a puzzled look, "How did Father know I was here?"
Sikong Changfeng said, "The Celestial Immortal had already foreseen everything."
