Chapter 151: Mu Tianyang meets Han Zilie

During the midnight hour, the provincial palace of Sky Jade City had fallen into a rare silence. The lively voices of the afternoon gathering were long gone, and most of the palace grounds had already sunk into darkness beneath the pale moonlight. Walking slowly along one of the secluded garden paths was Mu Tianyang.

He wore his pale blue-white Pure Cloud Sect robes, the silver embroidery catching the moonlight with every step. Beside him, walking a half-pace behind in a gesture of deep respect, was his Dao Protector, Elder Yan. The older man was a veteran of the Nascent Soul realm, dressed in unassuming gray, his presence practically invisible to the ambient world. Yet, in this private moment, the elder's gaze toward his young master was filled with profound reverence.
