The people of Fenghua Palace were the second group to arrive at Shouyang Hall.
Compared to the top Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, their numbers were a bit sparse—only two had come.
They were the Great Palace Master Fenghua Fairy and the newly-advanced Nascent Soul Fengyue Fairy.
Just as they stepped into the hall, they heard hearty laughter coming from within.
"Jiuling, I heard you lost to Deng Taiyue. That does surprise me a little."
"Hmph! It was nothing more than a clash in the Nascent Soul Domain. I don't know how he cultivated—he's clearly just stepped into the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, yet his Domain is absurdly strong. But if it were a life-and-death struggle, who between Deng Taiyue and me would die, that's still hard to say!"
"That point I don't doubt. Jiuling's Slaughter Technique far surpasses what your surface Realm would suggest."
"And Deng Taiyue? He arrived at Lingtian Pass even earlier than I did, didn't he? Why don't I see him?"
