Chapter 1519: Chapter 1539: You Have the Will, But Not the Power!_1

"What do we do now?"

"Wait!"

Lin Chen laughed, "I think it won’t be long before we meet people from Wanli Palace. I just don’t know if I’ll have the luck to see the Wanli Palace that’s located under the sea!"

Lin Chen and the others didn’t wait long. Only half a day later, the door of the courtyard was knocked.

The one who knocked was a refined middle-aged man, followed by a man and a woman. The man in his thirties, his physique sturdy like a tower, with an impressive aura. The woman was beautiful, but cold and aloof, emanating a chilly aura that warned strangers to stay away.

Zhong Quan sensed their arrival and personally opened the door, looking warily at the man in front of him.

Yao Xuanji stood in the courtyard, greeted the middle-aged man with a slight smile, "Uncle Ao, your niece Yao Xuanji pays respect!"

The middle-aged man’s gaze landed on Yao Xuanji’s face, some amusement showed on it, "I heard you went missing before, your father came to my Wanli Palace searching for you. Now that you’ve returned safely, he’s gone far away. He just missed you."

Yao Xuanji sidestepped, "Uncle Ao, please come in!"

The middle-aged man, Ao Li from South Sea Myriad Glass Palace, casually walked into the courtyard, "It seems you’ve run into some trouble?"

Yao Xuanji didn’t deny it, "My whereabouts have been exposed. Weijiao, along with two immortals from Heavenly Immortal Realm and a bunch of Golden Immortals, tried to kill me outside South Yuncity. Although we managed to kill one immortal and multiple Golden Immortals, we were still outnumbered. We had to hide for the time being. Now, there are their informants all over the city, I have to be careful."

Ao Li frowned, "There are their people inside South Yuncity?"

Yao Xuanji replied, "According to our observation, at the entrance of the Flying Boat Dock, outside Nan Yuan Sea Trade, there are many informants watching. It’s just unclear who they belong to."

Ao Li glanced at the burly man, "Go, find out!"

"Yes!"

The burly man turned and left, his figure disappearing from sight.

Ao Li turned to Yao Xuanji, smiling, "Since you call me uncle, I certainly won’t stand by if you are being wronged on the land of South Sea."

Yao Xuanji thanked him again.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt somewhat relieved. It seemed Yao Xuanji’s judgment of Ao Li was not mistaken.

Whether he decides to act and stand with the Immortal Palace, at least he would protect Yao Xuanji from any aggression.

Ao Li asked, "The Immortal Palace is so far away from the South Sea. Why have you come to see me, risking danger?"

Yao Xuanji whispered, "My father left the Immortal Domain five hundred years ago and has been incommunicado since. These five hundred years, the Immortal Palace has been leaderless, and the various forces in the Immortal Domain are eager to act. I was lucky to return, revealing Weijiao’s true face, and by this, I detected the hidden power of the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"A huge change might be coming to the Thunder Immortal Domain; every continent in the Immortal Domain might be plunged into bloodshed. I hope Uncle Ao could help the Immortal Palace and deter the petty people, preventing Cloud Sky Continent from descending into chaos... "

Ao Li frowned, "Is the situation already so dire?"

Yao Xuanji nodded, "Uncle Ao, multiple sources confirm that the Heavenly Dao Alliance is hidden under the water. Many sects have already been secretly won over by them. Once they strike, it’ll be earth-shattering. The loyal forces following the Immortal Palace will inevitably become their primary targets..."

After a moment of silence, Ao Li shook his head, "You’ve undoubtedly overestimated me. I might be powerful individually, but before such a massive force, I’m nothing. Moreover, since that incident, I’ve been disheartened and unwilling to be involved in any matters of the continent. Your father knows this as well."

Yao Xuanji’s expression changed slightly. She hadn’t expected Ao Li to refuse so straightforwardly. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. To discuss personal favors directly might make her seem like she’s exploiting gratitude.

Perhaps knowing what Yao Xuanji was thinking, Ao Li laughed and said, "Your father was a hero. He valued individual strength but not necessarily the position of the Master of the Immortal Palace. As a child, why should you take such a heavy responsibility upon yourself?"

"If the building is about to collapse, it’s better to evacuate beforehand. Not only can you protect the safety of your followers and preserve your strength, but also keep yourself safe. You are welcomed to stay in my Wanli Palace. Regardless of how big a disruption occurs outside, I will ensure your safety."

"Let them fight if they want to. You just focus on cultivation and improving your own strength. If your father returns one day, cleaning up those rebels will be a simple task for him."

"The Immortal Path is endless; why should you compete for temporary length?"

After hearing what Ao Li had to say, Yao Xuanji pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ao, for your protection. But as the daughter of my father, he united the Thunder Immortal Domain and brought peace to the Immortal Domain. Even though he’s not here, I don’t want to be self-serving while watching the entire Immortal Domain once again fall into chaos..."

With a sigh, Ao Li said, "Xuanji, I’ll tell you the truth. If your father was here, even if these people have ambition, they might not dare to act. Although you’re ambitious, I’m afraid you don’t have the power..."
