Sword Monument City was bustling with people, and Prodigies came and went in an endless stream.
In the center of the city, that towering giant sword, rumored to have been left by a peerless expert from the Sword Tomb, reached from heaven to earth.
To this day, it is still regarded as a Holy Land for pilgrimage by many Sword Cultivators.
Even a small number of Sword Cultivators with exceptional talent had once comprehended various Sword Dao Divine Abilities before this giant sword.
Thus, over time, Sword Monument City formed around the giant sword, becoming an Opportunity land in the Nine Heavens.
Of course, compared to the Opportunities within the Sword Tomb, Sword Monument City was nothing.
Therefore, Sword Monument City was now considered a resting place by various Prodigies.
And at this moment, within Sword Monument City.
A graceful figure attracted the gazes of many passing Nine Heavens Prodigies.
She was a woman dressed in a pink long dress, with a face that could be described as perfect.
She had willow-leaf eyebrows, clear moon-like beautiful eyes, a straight jade-like nose, and red lips with teeth that shimmered with crystalline luster.
Her neck was slender, and her face was as beautiful as a flower and the moon, possessing a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
However, what was most striking about the woman were her long, slender, well-rounded legs, hidden beneath her pink dress, as white and delicate as ivory.
Their lines were perfect, making the woman's figure appear even taller and more slender, without the slightest blemish.
This woman was none other than Yan Rumeng!
"Who is that woman? Which Family is she from? Her appearance, figure, and temperament are all so stunning, yet she has no reputation in the Nine Heavens."
"Indeed, such an exquisite woman, logically speaking, should have an extraordinary background, yet she is unheard of in the Nine Heavens."
"I think she might be a Prodigy from the Immortal Domain, after all, some Immortal Domain Prodigies were brought to the Nine Heavens recently."
"I see, that makes sense then."
"Hehe, however, such a stunning woman, coming alone from the Immortal Domain, might be seen as a little lamb to be slaughtered."
Some passing Nine Heavens Prodigies glanced at Yan Rumeng.
Their eyes held a peculiar meaning.
This made her snow-white, jade-like skin break out in goosebumps.
Yan Rumeng's willow-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her jade-like face was cold.
If Little Demon Queen hadn't come to the Nine Heavens and brought her along, Yan Rumeng really wouldn't have wanted to come.
However, Yan Rumeng had to admit that the Cultivation environment in the Nine Heavens was indeed much better than in the Immortal Domain.
This time, she had heard about the Opportunity in the Sword Tomb, so she wanted to try her luck and see if she could find a chance to improve herself.
However, Yan Rumeng had underestimated her own charm.
Along the way, she had encountered many annoying flies.
Thinking of this, a peerless white-clad figure subconsciously appeared in Yan Rumeng's mind.
She recalled the time she had accompanied Jun Xiaoyao on the Ultimate Ancient Road.
At that time, to ward off those flies, she had directly said that Jun Xiaoyao was her husband.
Although it was a joke, it had to be said that from then on, her feelings for Jun Xiaoyao had undergone a subtle change.
It wasn't until later, when Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, that she learned of his engagement to Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli.
She was happy for Jun Xiaoyao.
Yet, there was also a strange sense of loss and melancholy, a faint, needle-like pain in her heart.
So, at that time, Yan Rumeng decided to bury him in her heart.
As a beautiful secret that belonged only to her.
So later, when Little Demon Queen said she wanted to take her to the Nine Heavens, Yan Rumeng agreed.
This was good too; being far away from Jun Xiaoyao meant she wouldn't constantly think of him.
And Yan Rumeng had always acted very low-key in the Nine Heavens.
She had no acquaintances or information network.
After Little Demon Queen brought her to the Nine Heavens, she disappeared on her own, no one knew where she went.
So Yan Rumeng didn't know that Jun Xiaoyao had already arrived in the Nine Heavens.
At this moment, feeling the gaze of many eyes around her, Yan Rumeng just wanted to find a temporary resting place and wait for the Sword Tomb to open.
And just then, a slightly frivolous voice suddenly rang out.
"May I ask, young lady, what is your name, and which Family do you hail from?"
As the voice came, several young Nine Heavens Prodigies slowly approached.
Leading them was a man in luxurious robes, with a handsome face and a certain demeanor.
His Qi was also very strong, much stronger than that of ordinary Immortal Domain Prodigies.
"Oh, that's Young Master Pang Yan of the Pang Family."
"The Pang Family is a Forbidden Families under the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven, and Young Master Pang Yan is even a Servant of the Great Demon King."
"He usually acts arrogant and looks down on others, relying on the Great Demon King's prestige."
Some Prodigies around were discussing.
When the so-called Great Demon King was mentioned, many Nine Heavens Prodigies had a hint of fear in their eyes.
That was a notorious Fiend King in the Nine Heavens.
If there was any Prodigy who could compare to the Beast Cave Four Little Kings in terms of ferocity and ruthlessness, it would only be the Great Demon King of the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven.
Facing Pang Yan's harassment, Yan Rumeng said nothing and turned in another direction, intending to leave.
However, Pang Yan still blocked her way.
"Please wait, young lady, I am Pang Yan, the Young Lord of the Pang Family, a Forbidden Families under the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven."
"You are so beautiful, yet unknown, so you must be from the Immortal Domain."
"This time, the Sword Tomb is wide open, and although there are Opportunities, there are also unpredictable dangers. If you don't mind, you can travel with me."
Pang Yan's words were polite.
However, his gaze kept sweeping over Yan Rumeng.
Especially the dazzlingly white, tall, and delicate long legs beneath Yan Rumeng's skirt made Pang Yan's breathing quicken.
These legs would never get boring even after ten years of playing.
Even in the Nine Heavens, women as exquisite as Yan Rumeng were extremely rare.
No wonder Pang Yan stepped forward to pester her.
"No need."
Yan Rumeng's tone was cold, like an ice-cold beauty who kept others at a distance.
The only man who could make her show such charming and feminine allure was Jun Xiaoyao.
Besides him, she simply ignored other men.
Seeing Yan Rumeng's cold expression, Pang Yan was not angry; instead, he became even more excited.
This kind of woman could give a man a sense of conquest.
"Young lady, you might not know, but I have another identity: I am the personal Servant of the Great Devil King of the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven."
At this point, Pang Yan showed a hint of pride.
Who was the Great Demon King? He was a top-tier Prodigy in the Nine Heavens, comparable to Wang Yan and others!
To be his personal Servant was already a symbol of status.
Even Prodigies from other Forbidden Areas would not easily provoke Pang Yan, precisely because they feared the Great Demon King behind him.
However, Yan Rumeng looked at Pang Yan with the gaze of someone looking at an idiot.
Being someone's follower and being so proud of it, was his brain filled with water?
"Then I apologize even more, I don't want to say anything to a Servant."
Yan Rumeng turned and left.
Pang Yan's face completely darkened.
This was his proud identity, yet it was so belittled by Yan Rumeng.
"You're given face, but you don't want it. You're just a lowly female Cultivator from the Immortal Domain, it's your honor to be noticed by this Young Master."
Pang Yan was ready to use force.
"You!"
Yan Rumeng's jade-like face turned cold.
Pang Yan and a few others surrounded her, their Qi surging.
Although Yan Rumeng was of the Yao Race, her true form was the Heavenly Dream Enchanting Butterfly with a powerful Bloodline.
However, her current strength was indeed not the most top-tier.
And just then, a fierce Qi suddenly surged from a distance, pressing down.
"Who!"
Pang Yan looked up, almost scared out of his wits.
"Fiend King, Fiend King… You are, Jun Xiaoyao!"
