17 Elders from other provinces.

Di Cheng and Mora cuddled for a few hours just then he remembered that his 'Chaos Tempus' spell was still active. He flicked his fingers and everything returned to normal and the dusk was so peaceful and the hot sun cooled down, now the sky was pasted with peach-colored sunlight.

The time started to move and everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, they were totally ignorant that they were lagging behind a few hours from the outside world.

"Mora, we will go find that old fellow after the Martial Arts Competition. In my previous life, I never had a privilege to have a birth family, so in this life I have parents, I can feel their love… Really a wonderful feeling." Di Cheng felt it was his bliss to have such parents.

Mora left his arms and looked at him for some time and said timidly, "Master! Now that I met you whatever happened in the past became irrelevant. I will stay with you, even if you shoo me away, I will stick with you for all eternity. "

Di Cheng just smiled at her declaration, but never rejected her, he could feel her determination from her tone.

"I am so young you don't need to call me master just call me young master. You need to retract your aura otherwise you will scare people here." Di Cheng retracted his golden aura and his pupils became pitch black still, he looked extremely handsome. He left his bed and wore his upper garment.

Mora smiled and retracted her aura, the shiny room returned to normal. She came beside Di Cheng and helped him wear his clothes.

Di Cheng watched her intensely causing her to blush, "Hmm…. Your beauty is really rare in this plane so it will cause problems for me like this, you need camouflage yourself."

Mora understood what he meant still, her face became apple red. She flicked her fingers and changed to a normal looking young girl wearing a maid uniform.

….

Zuji and Princess Yan'er stood outside the capital city gate and watched the city with dumbfounded expressions. They rushed here in a hurry and were preparing for the worst, but what they saw was the pitch black dome covering the province vanished and everything returned to normal.

The guard captain near the gate came forward and bowed anxiously for them.

"Princess! Honorable elder! Please forgive me. We didn't know of your return."

"Don't be anxious, inform the palace about our return and prepare a horse carriage right now," the Princess ordered the guard captain.

They were about to enter the gate when an old voice resounded.

" Isn't it Elder Zuji!?"

An old woman with wrinkles on her face wearing 'Riguang province' imperial dress and beside her stood a tall middle-aged man wearing 'Huichen province' imperial dress. The thing is they both are standing in the air, which means they are Profound Dao realm experts.

Zuji instantly recognized them as reputable elders of their respective provinces and were profound Dao middle stage experts while he was only on the Profound Dao initial stage.

"Oh!... Elder Mia and elder Ming, what brings you here?" Zuji was pleasantly surprised to see elders of two provinces at the same time.

"We are here to investigate matters related to the pitch black dome," Elder Ming went straight to the point.

Zuji and Princess looked at each other and Zuji said, "We would like to invite you to the King's palace, we can have a detailed conversation there."

Both the elders accepted his hospitality and entered the horse carriage.

"Haha... I never would have thought that Xian would have such a beautiful daughter, he is really fortunate. Are you practicing Dao?" Elder Mia commented.

"Thank you for your compliments Elder Mia, I just returned from your province trial grounds." Ji Yan'er smiled.

"Oh!... You are already a step away from the Earth Dao realm really admirable." Elder Mia probed the princess's cultivation and astounded.

She suddenly remembered something and asked skeptically, "Are you that 'Scarlet Flame Fairy'?"

In response to her question, Yan'er acknowledged with a smile.

"Hahaha…. So you are that girl who beat people senseless in trial grounds, our 'young master Jin' talked about you." Elder Mia broke into hearty laughter.

When they reached the palace, King Ji Xian and his wife were standing there to receive them.

Ji Xian was very happy to see his beloved daughter and master's return, but was amazed to see the elders of Riguang and Huichen provinces were together with them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zuji called Ji Xian and said solemnly, "Xian, arrange an elder council right now and invite Elder Mia and Elder Ming too."

Ji Xian didn't know what happened, but after seeing his master's serious face he agreed immediately.

Meanwhile, in the Princess Courtyard, Ji Yan'er was happily chatting with Xia Ling.

"Yan'er, how have you been? It's been a year since I saw you." Xia Ling spoke happily. She thought it would take at least three years for their reunion, but now it's only been a year since she met her again.

Ji Yan'er recounted her adventures with Xia Ling, who was also happy to see her sworn sister again.

Xia Ling listened interestingly, "As expected, you are really fierce! While you were gone, I also had a small adventure recently on my own, even though it is not as good as yours, you have to listen."

Then Xia Ling told her about what happened in the street a few days ago and how Di Cheng defended her.

....

Inside the palace's main hall.

The elders and King Ji Xian of the Tian province have unbelievable expressions. They listened to what elder Mia, elder Ming and Zuji said and their faces became gloomy. Ji Xian knew even if there was a chance what elders Mia and Ming said was false, he cannot doubt his master Zuji.

A pitch black dome covering the entire province was really a suspicious matter. Such a spell was even possible! If so, why would they use it in Tian Province? The entire province was safe and sound and nobody noticed it.

"Master! Elders of Riguang and Huichen province, we assure you if such an event occurred without us noticing, it will be an unknown high-level spell. We will use our special forces and find it for sure." Ji Xian said solemnly.

"Elder Mia and Elder Ming, I will arrange your stay here. Tomorrow the 'Martial Arts competition' is going to be held in our capital, so please attend the event before returning." Ji Xian invited them.

Elder Mia and the elder Ming were pleased with Ji Xian's attitude and accepted the invitation. They also wanted to see the performance of the youngsters in Tian province.
