First Summoner

Before he could finish his words, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared, reached out from behind Dongfang Xin and covered his mouth with his hand.

“Mmm…mm…”

Shen Yan's heart was filled with alarm. When she was about to summon her sword, she heard the smiling middle-aged man say, "You are a disciple of Qiankun Sect? You are Elder Qi's disciple, right? I am the current head of the Dongfang Family."

The head of the Dongfang family?

In other words, he is Dongfang Xin's father.

At this time, Dongfang Xin finally struggled free and took a breath. He subconsciously wanted to run away, but the head of the Dongfang family grabbed his collar from behind.

"Dad, let me go!"

Shen Yan took a step back, raised his hand and bowed, performing a junior etiquette: "I am the direct disciple of Qiankun Sect, Shen Yan, and I greet Patriarch Dongfang."

The head of the Dongfang family looked at Shen Yan calmly, then smiled gently and said, "Xin'er has caused you trouble."

"No." Shen Yan answered calmly.

The head of the Dongfang family smiled slightly and took Dongfang Xin back.

After this little episode, Shen Yan was no longer in the mood to wander around, so he returned to Courtyard No. 9 early.

She sometimes thought of what Dongfang Xin had said.

What secrets does the Sky Tree hide?

For some reason, it made her concerned.

Shen Yan raised her hand and knocked on the door gently. Soon, the door opened and Jing Zifu appeared in front of her.

"Junior Sister Shen."

"Senior Sister Jing." Shen Yan responded politely.

The two nodded to each other, and then Shen Yan walked into the room.

The room was simply furnished, with a bed on each side, separated by a screen in the middle. Jing Zifu had already chosen the bed on the left, while Shen Yan walked towards the bed on the right.

The whole room was very quiet, as if the only sounds were the two of them breathing.

Jing Zifu and Shen Yan sat on their own beds and began to meditate with their eyes closed. Their expressions were focused and their breathing was steady, as if they were isolated from the outside world.

...

On the third day after Shen Yan and others arrived at Sky Island, a piece of news came.

Shen Ke led the Tianzhou forces to Sky Island.

The news spread quickly throughout the island.

All the major forces sent out spies to investigate the situation. After some investigation, they learned that the Tianzhou forces had come in large numbers, nearly a thousand people, and their overall strength was quite strong.

The most eye-catching person was Shen Ke herself. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress from the Tianzhou Dynasty and a mysterious mask on her face, which made her look noble and majestic. She came slowly on a gorgeous sedan chair, and the grandeur was astonishing.

This kind of scene made many people afraid of her and they dared not provoke her easily.

Of course, the process of Tianzhou forces entering Sky Island was not smooth.

Because dozens of assassins hiding in the dark appeared and tried to assassinate Shen Ke.

At this critical moment, the eight members of the "Shura Team" appeared in time. Each of them wore half a silver mask, exuding a cold aura. The eight of them resisted all the killers and eliminated them all.

For a time, the Tianzhou forces became the biggest focus.

At the same time, the Tianzhou forces have headed to the Island Lord's Mansion.

The island master's mansion was heavily guarded. When the Tianzhou forces arrived, a guard captain stepped out and said impartially: "The island master has ordered that only two representatives from each force are allowed to enter."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ke, who was sitting on the sedan chair, opened the gauze curtain.

At this time, one of the old men walked quickly to the side of the sedan chair, raised his arm respectfully, let Shen Ke's hand gently rest on his arm, and then carefully helped her get off the sedan chair.

Everyone around was staring at the rumored eldest princess Shen Ke. Although they couldn't see her face clearly, they could feel her elegant temperament and graceful manners.

Is this the last princess of the Tianzhou Dynasty? And also the sister of Emperor Ling Shenchu?

Shen Ke and the old man walked into the island owner's mansion slowly.

As for what happened inside the island owner's mansion, no one knew.

...

The Tianzhou forces successfully moved into Sky Island.

This made many forces feel threatened and pressured.

The Changming Realm power ranking competition will be held in two days. With the participation of Tianzhou forces, it is impossible to predict what the result will be.

Courtyard No. 9.

Inside the room, Shen Yan received a message from Uncle Zeng. She probed her spiritual consciousness into it and listened to the content.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

She returned the summons.

At this moment, the screen was knocked.

Shen Yan looked up and what caught her eyes was Jing Zifu's cold face. Her eyes seemed evasive and unnatural.

"Senior Sister Jing, is there something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Zifu pursed her lips and finally asked, "These past few days, I heard that you seem to be familiar with Sui Changyun from Chengyun Palace..."

Shen Yan looked at her without changing her expression.

When Jing Zifu met Shen Yan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, she felt a little confused and asked, "I want to know, what is your relationship with him?"

Shen Yan said: "We are friends."

Hearing this, Jing Zifu's expression was very calm, and it was impossible to tell her emotional change. She said "OK" and was about to turn around and go back to her area when Shen Yan called out to Jing Zifu.

"Senior Sister Jing, do you know Chang Yun?"

Jing Zifu paused slightly, wanting to nod, but finally shook her head.

"do not know."

Shen Yan asked again: "Senior Sister Jing, do you dislike Senior Brother Yi Linghuan?"

Jing Zifu's eyes were dim and her tone was cold.

"not at all."

Shen Yan looked at her thin back, "Senior Sister Jing, may I ask how you and Senior Brother Yi came to be engaged? Was it a matter of mutual affection? Or was it your parents' order?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Zifu turned around and looked at her deeply.

"Does it matter?"

...

Two days later.

The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing.

The Changming event officially begins.

At this moment, the Sky Island was bustling with activity, and almost everyone gathered on the empty stage. Everyone was talking excitedly, looking forward to the wonderful performances and fierce competition of this grand event.

The empty stage, as the iconic venue for Sky Island competitions, had already been decorated solemnly. Surrounding it were spacious auditoriums, with dense crowds filling every seat.

In the center is a wide and huge arena, which will become a stage for young talents to show their strength and compete for glory.

As time went by, various major forces appeared one after another. They took their seats one by one with confident and proud expressions.

The ten referees of the power ranking competition also appeared on the empty stage early. They all wore green masks shaped like sky tree leaves. Their eyes were calm and sharp, and they exuded a restrained and powerful aura.

The owner of Sky Island sat in the main seat. She was wearing a complicated and simple black dress with an upright posture. She also wore a mask, making it difficult to see her face.

She was surrounded by Sky Island guards.

Many people looked at her curiously, until the Tianzhou forces entered the scene, and their eyes were fixed on 'Shen Ke'.

In the Qiankun Sect team, Shen Yan raised his head and his eyes briefly met with 'Shen Ke'.
