Forsaken Immortals

Bai Rouyun was aware that Canglan City had been bursting with people recently, and that the experts who had appeared had come after hearing gossip about Li Moyun, and in turn, also about her.

After Li Moyun revealed his identity, everyone was eager to learn more about him. Still, he had vanished, and people soon found out that he was currently residing within Canglan City for the sake of being together with his wife.

When the sects found out that he was here, they instantly informed their younger geniuses, and told them that they should head towards the small town for the sake of getting to know Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun.

While Bai Rouyun was weak, and seemingly a waste of time to befriend, many knew that she was the apple in the eye of Li Moyun, and thus they could use her to get closer to him.

Many of the younger women from the sects began dreaming of Li Moyun as their dream husband.

Previously, no one had seen the Eternal Shadow Lord's face. While he was revered and respected, his popularity rose drastically when the women found out about his extremely handsome countenance.

They became even more infatuated when they heard how loving Li Moyun was towards his wife, and they all felt that they would be a much more suitable wife for him.

Their strength was better. Their background was more prominent. Their appearance might not be better than Bai Rouyun, but it was at least not considered bad either.

Even if this Bai Rouyun was currently the main wife, there was no one who believed that she would be capable of maintaining this position, and that others would push her down to become a mere concubine, while the main wife status would be taken by some young genius from a prominent background.

Many had hopes and dreams, but these dreams and hopes were based on their own assumptions of Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun. They had no idea of their actual personalities, and thus they assumed that reality was different from the truth.

The people who were advancing towards them were likely not from Canglan City, or anywhere close by. Their strength was much higher, and while they, individually, were weaker than Little Chu, they had the benefit of having more experts.

Little Chu did not doubt that he would be able to handle them all if it came down to it, but he was worried about leaving Bai Rouyun on her own while fighting that many at the same time.

If one of them managed to harm her during the battle, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Bai Rouyun understood his worry and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Do not worry about me," she said gently. "I have the Primal Chaos Dimension. If anyone starts to threaten my life, I will instantly hide away in the dimension; then no one can harm me."

Little Chu had forgotten everything about the fact that she could also hide herself in her dimension from all kinds of harm, and he felt relaxed.

"Don't get involved if it turns into a battle, and make sure to enter the dimension if anyone as much as tries to harm you."

While Little Chu was her bodyguard, he was also her acknowledged older brother, so when he said this so stubbornly, she could only obediently nod her head and promise him.

She knew that he was only ordering her around because he was worried about her.

While the two of them made their agreement, the group, which had advanced, finally broke through the thicket. They, too, had sensed Little Chu and Bai Rouyun some time ago, but they had not changed their path, which showed that they had every intention of meeting up with them.

As to what their purpose was, only they themselves knew.

The reason why Little Chu had not tried to avoid them was due to Bai Rouyun's situation. She was not currently able to move fast enough for them to shake off this group of people, so waiting patiently for them instead was much better.

The group consisted of two women and five men. All of them were young, around eighteen years old, and their features were youthful, and full of arrogance and pride.

Their clothes were all luxurious, and their bearing was not ordinary. It only took a single glance for Bai Rouyun to determine that they came from the Cultivation World, and that they should be considered the geniuses of one of the factions.

The arrogance came from being looked up to by countless people, and it was truly ingrown into their bones.

One of the girls looked so haughty and so arrogant that her otherwise beautiful face was slightly unbearable, while the other girl was beautiful and gentle. She looked refined and elegant, like a lotus flower in the pond.

The men were also different. Two of them were as lofty as the woman; all you could see in their expression was disdain for the world, while the last three were quite different as well.

While they all had arrogance in their bones, the arrogance was not dislikeable, and while two of them looked stoic, the third was smiling sweetly, and seemed very friendly.

The seven experts, who had appeared, all had their eyes focused on Little Chu at first. He was the strongest, and his aura was enough to cause some trepidation to arise in their hearts, but they quickly removed their fear. He was alone while they were seven. How could they possibly fear him?

Bai Rouyun smiled slightly. They would regret looking down on Little Chu, but she was not going to be so kind as to remind them of this.
