This was the second time she has seen Qianbei Ye in this manner.

　　The first was when she was being coerced by Ling Yi, and the second time was the situation now. Moreover, this man would only appear when she was in danger. Based on that, Gu Rouyun could not help but suspect that he had been following her all along!

　　Yet, she did not know the reason why but she could not help but feel calm and safe in his presence.

　　It was as if, with him around, there was no issue which could not be solved.

　　Boom!

　　The blue light struck Qianbei Ye’s red robes and then dissipated into nothingness. For a moment, Elder Liu was shocked to the point of speechlessness – it was as if his body was in full shock.

　　How would such a massive attack turn into something akin to being jabbed with an embroidery needle to this man? It did not seem to even tickle him as he had effortlessly blocked it…

　　Furthermore, this man did not seem to have any spiritual Qi in his body, he couldn’t feel any motions of Qi from him at all! To be able to give people this feeling, it was either that he was a good-for-nothing or it could be that he was so powerful that he could conceal the energy within his body…

　　According to the situation just now, it was very obviously the latter!

　　This man’s strength should at least be at the level of a Martial Emperor!

　　Yunyao heart was now relaxed but she quickly started to get nervous again. She then looked at the clouds and said, “Tianqiong, why are you still hiding in there? You better come out now!”

　　She hoped that her Master could see it from her perspective and not take to heart the mistakes that the Azure Dragon has made.

　　“Yunyao, is that really you?”

　　A voice filled with surprise was heard within the clouds. Soon, the crowd watched as an enormous Azure Dragon became visible sheltered behind many layers of clouds. At that very moment it appeared, only could they comprehend the true meaning of a presence so domineering that the skies would shiver in its wake. They felt as if they were watching a king who was surveying the world that he had conquered.

　　The Azure Dragon slowly began to transform in the sky and suddenly, a tall and long body appeared in mid-air.

　　The dark clouds quickly dispersed, revealing a clear and sunny sky.

　　A handsome and charming man, who was clad in an azure robe, floated in the sky. His features were not as prominent as Qianbei Ye or Zixie but it was pleasing nonetheless. He looked like a bamboo that stood upright and was as proud as the heavens above.

　　However, after seeing the eyes of the man in the azure robe, Yunyao asked in a daze, “Tianqiong… Your… Your eyes…”

　　The man was startled. A weak smile then caressed those sunken and colorless eyes as he said, “My eyes had become blinded that year. All this time, I’ve been hiding in this place to tend to my injuries. To be honest, I do know that I’m blind but even if I were to cultivate for millions of years, my powers will never be able to recover to its full potential…”

　　Tianqiong was different than the other three Divine Beasts; his eyes were the source of his power. If his eyes were blinded, his powers will no longer reach its peak. During that year, he had been captured by that person who had tortured and forced him to become his mount. He had refused to obey and that person had angrily destroyed both his eyes.

　　Despite the strength and impetus that he had demonstrated just now, truth be told, he did not have much power left. However, it was just enough for him to defeat Gu Rouyun.

　　Unfortunately, that trick had already used up the power that he had built up over the years and now, he was just a good-for-nothing! If it wasn’t for the fact that the Four Divine Beasts had never liked owing others a debt of gratitude, he would not have allowed Concubine Ling to give him orders and use up his energy…

　　Yunyao walked forward a few steps and, under the eyes of the crowd, transformed into an elegant woman. Then, she raised her hand and caressed that face that she has missed every day and night as tears unconsciously streamed down her face.

　　“Tianqiong, don’t worry, I will cure your eyes – I will!”

　　He who was once at his peak could now accept this situation – it still makes Yunyao’s heart hurt!
