Capítulo 61: The Princess and the Treacherous Minister
"Woah! It's so cold!" The next day, Yun Wuji teleported everyone in front of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Xiao Che, who had the lowest cultivation, felt his limbs freezing up.
Yun Wuji didn't teleport everyone inside because the sect's rules forbid the entrance of males other than him. He didn't want to leave Xiao Che outside by himself.
Although Xiao Che was male, he was still Yun Wuji's disciple, so Yun Wuji had to consider his feelings.
No one would want to be left behind in the freezing cold, even if it was due to the rules.
"So this is the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace?" Cang Yue said, eyeing the structure before her.
It was simpler than she had expected. Unlike the grandeur and opulence of the other Three Great Sects, the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace appeared more modest in comparison.
Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi also looked around with curiosity. This was their first time leaving Floating Cloud City, and everything seemed new and fascinating to them.
"Greetings, Guardian Wuji!...and senior sisters!" At the gate, three disciples waited with bashful smiles. They greeted Yun Wuji warmly, their attention fixed on him. It wasn't until a few moments later that they noticed the Chu sisters and quickly extended their greetings to them as well.
They were the female disciples who will be participating in the tournament this year. Just like all other disciples from Frozen Cloud, they were beauties, with jade-white skin, cherry lips, and bombastic bodies.
The oldest of them was Mu Lingxue, who was 20 years old and at the 2nd level of the Earth Profound Realm.
Originally, she was at the peak of the 10th level of the Spirit Profound Realm, but with Yun Wuji's help, she broke through to the Earth Profound Realm.
Yun Wuji gifted her a level-up pill to celebrate her breakthrough, which she used to advance to the 2nd level of the Earth Profound Realm.
She told him that although she knew it would have been more effective to save the pill for the later realms, she wanted to showcase the glory and might of Frozen Cloud in the tournament.
The second girl was Wu Xuexin, 17 years old, and at the 9th level of the Spirit Profound Realm.
She was initially at the 5th level of the Spirit Profound Realm, but after Yun Wuji stuffed her with pills, she advanced to the 9th level.
The third girl was Shui Wushuang, also 17 years old, with the same cultivation level as Wu Xuexin, the 9th level of the Spirit Profound Realm.
She had started at the 5th level of the Spirit Profound Realm as well, and similarly, Yun Wuji had stuffed her with pills until she reached the 9th level.
If he had been given an additional month, he could have raised both their cultivation to the Earth Profound Realm.
"Hmmm, since you're all ready, let's go crush those so-called geniuses!" Yun Wuji smiled at them gently and declared.
"Yes! We will crush all the trash!" the three cheered loudly in unison.
"You're already teaching your disciples to be arrogant, and now even the sect's disciples are becoming the same," Chu Yuechan whispered as she approached his side. "Aren't you worried they might cause trouble?"
"With me around, who can touch even a hair of them? Who dares to do so?" Yun Wuji didn't take what she said seriously and declared domineeringly. With him around, even if they provoked a sacred ground, it's no big deal.
Not to mention that although his disciples aren't reckless or blindly arrogant, the same goes for the Frozen Cloud disciples.
"Even if they cause trouble, I can flatten whatever trouble they caused," Yun Wuji added. After two months, he had already perfected Deus Ex Machina, which gave him the confidence to calmly face any foe on this planet.
Well, except for the beasts inside Cloud's End Cliff.
"Sigh! Your arrogance is incurable," Chu Yuechan said, holding her forehead and sighing.
"It is not arrogance but confidence. I am like this because of my strength, genius, and my looks backing my confidence," Yun Wuji said narcissistically.
"Forget it, I won't say anything more," Chu Yuechan said, shaking her head and giving up.
Yun Wuji waved his hand, and a wide space crack opened in front of them. "Get in. This will take us to the Heavenly Sword Villa."
"Woah, is this a space crack? I heard that only very strong cultivators can rupture space with their power," Mu Lingxue said, her eyes twinkling as she looked at the crack.
"Hmmm, Guardian Wuji is not only nice and gentle, but he's also very strong," Wu Xuexin said, her face flushed as she looked at Yun Wuji's back.
"Yeah, the time when he killed all the bad guys is still vivid in my memory," Shui Wushuang said softly, rubbing her knees together. Thinking of Wuji made her feel butterflies in her stomach.
Most of the girls in the Frozen Cloud were inexperienced, and the cliché of a hero saving the beauty had a strong impact on them. Despite practicing the Frozen Heart Art, many of them developed a crush on Yun Wuji after the day he saved them.
"What are you guys whispering about? Hurry and get in," Chu Yuechan urged as the trio heard her call.
"Yes!" The trio hurriedly stepped into the crack.
Everyone entered the space crack, disappearing from view...
Heavenly Sword Villa sits in the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, within Blue Wind Empire's borders. Though it technically belongs to the empire, the land was gifted to the villa and is fully controlled by them. The villa itself spans over twenty-five kilometers, almost as big as a small city.
The space crack opened and Yun Wuji and the others came out. The sight scared the Heavenly Sword disciple guarding the mountain gate; he stumbled backward, thinking that the sect was under attack. He said in a trembling tone, "Ha...ha... Halt! This...this is the territory of the Heavenly Sword Villa. Who are you?"
"Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace," Chu Yueli said lightly, handing over the invitation letter.
"Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace?" The disciple calmed down and took a closer look at the visitors. He noticed the sigil on Chu Yueli and the other disciples' clothes.
"So it's actually the Imperial Family's esteemed guests. Excuse my rudeness. Please, come in." The disciple breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Five kilometers ahead is where the Villa is located. The Villa Master and Villa Mistress are already personally awaiting your arrival. Please proceed."
Chu Yueli nodded lightly, and everyone flew in the direction of the villa.
"Strange, why are there males in their group? Lucky bastards!" Now that the disciple had calmed down, he noticed Yun Wuji and Xiao Che among them. He looked at the group and sighed in envy, thinking, Damn it! It should've been me, not them!
When they reached the villa, they encountered Ling Yuefeng and Xuanyun Yufeng, who were there to welcome the guests.
"Frozen Cloud Immortal's Chu Yueli greets Villa Master Ling and Villa Mistress," Chu Yueli, who was leading the group, announced.
Normally, they would have needed to announce the names of everyone in the group, and strictly speaking, only five were allowed to come. However, this was of no concern since Yun Wuji was with them. Rules and etiquette? What are those? In the presence of absolute power, such things are worth less than trash.
"Welcome, fairies, and thank you for honoring our humble Villa with your presence." Upon seeing Chu Yuechan, Ling Yuefeng's breathing stopped for three seconds, and foolishly stared at her before he regained his composure and greeted them.
It was a shameful display, but no one cared to point it out. His wife's eyes flashed with sharp light, but she clenched her fists under her sleeves and held back.
He was about to say something more when he noticed a man standing very close by Chu Yuechan's side. His heart sank, and his face turned gloomy. He took a step forward, and turned to Yun Wuji, asking, "And this is?"
"This is our sect's Guardian Yun Wuji; he is also my husband," Chu Yuechan said, sensing Ling Yuefeng's gaze and declaring directly to cut this hopeless guy's hopes.
"Wha-what? Hu...husband?!" Ling Yuefeng's eyes widened in shock, and he staggered back, unable to believe what he had just heard. He suspected that his ears were playing tricks on him.
Xuanyun Yufeng was also taken aback. She stopped looking at Yuechan and turned her attention to Yun Wuji, scrutinizing him closely. She wanted to see what kind of man had captured this bitch's heart.
He was an extremely handsome man, wearing black pants and a beige shirt. What struck her as strange was the thin, white, transparent membrane around him. However, what truly grabbed her attention were his eyes. His gaze was distant, as if everyone here was too far beneath him, not worth a single glance.
Xuanyun Yufeng had seen many people in her life, but this was easily the strangest man she saw.
"Nice to meet you, Sect Master Ling Yuefeng. I am Yuechan's husband," Yun Wuji said slowly, breaking his silence with a smile. "I don't like repeating myself, so I will say this only once. Yuechan is my wife, and I am a very jealous person. So in the future, refrain from talking to her, don't use her name, don't look at her, and don't even think about her. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise what?" Ling Yuefeng frowned, the fire of jealousy burning in his heart. He said with a cold tone.
"We will be taking protection fees from your sect," Chu Yuechan answered. She knew that Yun Wuji liked to collect protection fees from others.
"Protection fees?" Ling Yuefeng and his wife exchanged confused glances.
"Nope, not this time. As I said before, I am a very jealous and possessive person. If you don't follow my advice," Yun Wuji said, his eyes growing cold. A terrible aura emanated from him as he continued, "I'll raze this tiny sect from the map. Capiche?"
An oppressing yet boundless aura enveloped the entire Heavenly Sword Villa. In a split second, the flow of air halted, causing even the blades of grass and birds in the air to remain stagnant, as though time itself had become fixed in place.
"Agh!" Ling Yuefeng, taking the full brunt of the pressure, felt his breath becoming hard. His knees buckled, and he half-knelt on the ground, his body shivering as he struggled to resist the oppressive power.
"Wh-what is this?!"
"What's going on?!"
Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Villa, whether disciples or guests, felt a terrible power crushing them. It didn't matter if they were Elders at the Sky Profound Realm or novices who had just begun their cultivation; they all felt the same at this moment.
"Huh?!" Ling Tianni, who was in seclusion, sensed the oppressive aura. He resisted the pressure and flew toward its source.
"What is this?!" Ling Tianni flew for a few hundred meters when suddenly, the space around him froze. He felt as if invisible shackles were binding him; he tried to move but couldn't budge even an inch.
As if a giant hand was firmly holding him!
"Agh!" He felt the space squeezing him, the cracking of his bones echoing as blood began seeping from his orifices. For the first time in his life, Ling Tianni experienced such a profound sense of helplessness.
'Am I going to die?' The thought flashed through his mind as he felt death drawing near.
Suddenly, the invisible spatial force vanished, and he collapsed to the ground.
Thud!
"Wha-what happened?" That was the only thought that crossed his mind before he passed out.
"P-please stop, my husband didn't mean to offend you!" At this moment, Xuanyun Yufeng, who was also struggling against the pressure, begged him to stop, she could not bear to watch her husband suffer.
Most of the pressure was focused on Ling Yuefeng, so Xuanyun Yufeng barely managed to speak.
Under this terrible aura, Xuanyun Yufeng understood why this man's eyes were like that; it was because truly nothing in this place deserved his attention. Xuanyun Yufeng was the daughter of the 9th Elder of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, she had seen many powerful characters, but she had never seen anyone with such a powerful aura.
"Ahaha, I know that he didn't mean to," Soon after the aura vanished and Yun Wuji's cold expression turned to a warm smile, he patted Ling Yuefeng's shoulder and said with a warm tone, "Sect Master Ling is smart, you understand what I mean, right?"
"Y-yes! I will never look at or even think about the Fairy of Frozen Beauty," Ling Yuefeng slumped on the ground and said with a trembling voice. The impact he had felt had shattered all his mental fortitude, causing whatever pride or self-confidence he once had to vanish.
"Good, let's get in!" Yun Wuji said to the others and walked in, with everyone else following him.
"…" Cang Yue wanted to greet Ling Yuefeng on behalf of her father, but upon seeing his pathetic situation, she decided against it. It would only make him feel worse.
"Thank you, you were so cool~" As they entered, Chu Yuechan leaned close to his ear and whispered. Although she usually felt that his arrogance might cause him trouble, at this moment she found it incredibly cool!
"Words aren't enough, you need to compensate me later," Yun Wuji whispered back with a meaningful smile.
Why did Yun Wuji suddenly act like a dick? Was it to show off his strength? Of course not!
Yun Wuji was arrogant and narcissistic, but precisely because of this, he didn't seek validation from others. He looked down on it, feeling it was beneath him to even need to show off to this group of ants to validate himself.
Because he firmly believed that through the past and future, he alone was the matchless one!
He picked a fight with this guy to completely crush him and his hopes. Yun Wuji preferred to curb troubles before they could grow. Instead of waiting for this fly to start buzzing around him, it was better to crush it beforehand!
In the novel, this stupid bastard was the indirect reason why Chu Yuechan suffered for years. He was a pussy afraid of his wife, yet he still tried to pursue Chu Yuechan.
Which drove his bitch of a wife to send people to ambush Yuechan.
"Now that I think about it, this is another reason for me to massacre the people from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region." For his grand plan, it was only natural for him to destroy the Four Sacred Grounds.
Back at the villa's gate, Xuanyuan Yufeng looked at her beloved husband still kneeling on the ground. A desolate aura emanated from his body, and his eyes had lost their luster. He looked like a man who had lost his manhood or someone who had been gang raped by a group of men.
"Is… is this the man I am in love with?" Looking at his pathetic performance, for the first time his wife felt a trace of disgust in her heart toward her husband.
"Villa Master!" At this moment, a disciple came running, panting heavily and struggling to catch his breath.
"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?!" Xuanyuan Yufeng turned to him, frowning as she asked impatiently.
"The Grand Master... we found the Grand Master severely injured!" the disciple said, his voice trembling.
"What?! Father-in-law!" Xuanyuan Yufeng exclaimed in shock, her eyes widening as she rushed toward the disciple.
"What happened to father?!" Ling Yuefeng, shaken from his pathetic state, suddenly regained some of his spirit upon hearing the news about his father...

The accommodation provided to the Frozen Cloud was of the highest degree in the villa, a very luxurious courtyard. There were more than twenty separate rooms, and within the courtyard were trees, a garden, a pavilion, multiple ponds, and even a weapon rack filled with different types of weapons.
"Is this our temporary residence? It's so big!" Xiao Lingxi exclaimed as she looked around the expansive courtyard, her eyes wide with wonder.
Xiao Che was also surprised, he thought that they would be assigned some simple rooms.
"Distinguished guests, please select your own rooms. When night comes, I will bring the meals to your rooms. To prevent any unnecessary conflict before the tournament, a banquet was not arranged. Please forgive us," the Heavenly Sword female disciple, who brought them to their residence, politely said. As she spoke, she couldn't help but sneak glances at Yun Wuji; recalling the aura he released earlier sent shivers down her spine.
Everyone chose their rooms. Xiao Lingxi, Xia Qingyue, Mu Lingxue, Shui Wushuang, and Wu Xuexin selected their rooms on the west side of the courtyard.
Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli chose the southern side.
Yun Wuji picked a room on the eastern side, while Xiao Che ended up on the northern side.
Late at night, Yun Wuji moved soundlessly through the courtyard, heading towards Chu Yuechan's room.
"Come in." When he knocked on the door, Yun Wuji heard Chu Yuechan's voice from inside the room.
"Imprudent! This is the chamber of her highness, how dare you intrude into it?!" As he entered the bedroom, he saw Chu Yueli wearing a guard bikini armor, pointing a sword at him. This simple action caused her huge chest to have an undulation.
"Please... Prime Minister, please don't hurt me!" Behind her, Chu Yuechan was wearing a princess dress, a V-collar mini dress that exposed her explosive breasts and white thighs. She hid behind Chu Yueli and pitifully pleaded.
"???" Yun Wuji was taken aback by the setup, but he quickly got into the role. He rubbed his hands together with a wretched smile and said, "Hehehe, Your Highness the Princess, don't worry, I am here to protect you..."

*What do you think of Xuanyuan Yufeng? The harem is already quite large and will grow even more when we reach the Realm of the Gods, so I'm hesitant to add her.*
