A long-faced man stepped out from the void, landing precisely on the welcoming avenue of Yaohua Snow Mountain. Behind him followed a heroic young man in blue, carrying a long spear on his back. It was this young man who had just made a veiled remark mocking Marlon Jace.
"It looks like we haven't arrived too late." Another voice echoed from the void, and five more figures descended onto the welcoming avenue.
The attendant hurriedly continued to announce, "Master Bowie Zhou, Sect Master of Swordshift Immortal Sect; Holden Zhou, Young Sect Master; Eugene Xiling, Sect Master of Unending Dao; Quentin Qin, personal disciple; Harriet Yue, eldest daughter, have arrived..."
The woman in white quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Yaohua Snow Mountain welcomes Emperor Stardemon, Emperor Origin, Master Bowie Zhou, and Emperor Leon Yue. You have all come from afar, please follow me to the welcoming hall and take your seats."
"Haha, after all these years, Sister Rona Snow, your cultivation has reached new heights, while I seem to be falling further behind." The last to arrive, a red-haired man, laughed heartily, his tone warm and familiar, clearly indicating a close relationship with Empress Rona Snow of Yaohua Snow Mountain.
The woman in white replied calmly, "Compared to Emperor Leon Yue, I am still far behind."
Her words carried a hint of distance.
Standing beside Marlon Jace, Aaron Jace took the initiative to step forward, bowing respectfully to the woman next to the red-haired man. "Greetings, Senior Sister Harriet Yue. I am Aaron Jace, pleased to meet you."
The red-haired man was none other than Emperor Leon Yue, master of Skycloud Dao. While other sect leaders brought only one companion, he brought two: his disciple Quentin Qin and his daughter Harriet Yue.
Quentin Qin was somewhat dark-skinned and looked honest and simple. Harriet Yue wore a pale green celestial gown, appearing dignified and serene—a true lady of noble upbringing at first glance. If Joe Di were here, he probably wouldn't believe that this Harriet Yue possessed the Marital Desire Spirit Physique and had once bestowed the Desire Poison upon Aaron Jace.
Yue He'er blushed slightly, her delicate face tinged with red. Her voice was gentle and pleasant, yet carried a hint of awkwardness, as if she didn't know how to respond. "Hello..."
Jie Cheng bowed once again. "I am here to apologize on behalf of my brother. My brother offended you, Senior Sister. No matter what happens in the future, I, Jie Cheng, will repay whatever my brother owes you."
His words were earnest, and his eyes revealed genuine sincerity.
"Hmph!" Emperor Leon Yue snorted coldly.
Before Emperor Leon Yue could speak, the host, Empress Rona Snow, hurriedly said, "Everyone, please come inside and have a seat. This time, I've prepared the finest Immortal Spirit Tea. Let's talk as we enjoy some tea."
The group followed Empress Rona Snow to the entrance of the Yaohua Snow Mountain reception hall, where a young woman in a pale yellow dress was already waiting, bowing in greeting.
Beautiful—this was everyone's first impression. She truly seemed 'like clouds veiling the moon, like wind swirling the snow,' as if this yellow-dressed woman could blend into an unreal dream at any moment.
Even several Immortal Emperors felt that Rona Snow's disciple was about to surpass her master, who was famed as the most beautiful woman in Magic Garment Immortal Continent. Only after appreciating her beauty did everyone realize that this young woman in pale yellow had already reached the Immortal King realm.
This woman in yellow was none other than Empress Rona Snow's direct disciple, Ivy Snow—the very person everyone had come to congratulate at Empress Rona Snow's invitation.
Paul Xiling was the first to step forward, bowing excitedly. "Paul Xiling of Unending Immortal Sect greets Sister Ivy. Congratulations on being the first among us to enter the Immortal King realm. You are now the goal we all strive to reach."
