Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1090 Heavenly Palace Squad
Although An Jing has almost never exhibited the characteristics of the traditional 'Seven Calamities', there is no doubt that Heaven does not randomly choose its destiny—An Jing has quite a few quirky quirks.

As for what Ming Guangchen will do in the future, An Jing and Fu Xie have no idea, but both of them are looking forward to it.

Now, An Jing stepped forward confidently, bowed to the senior members of the Heavenly Palace team, and introduced himself.

"Esteemed seniors, my name is An Jing, a disciple of Ming Guangchen, the peak master of the Mingjing Sect. I humbly request your guidance!"

A brief silence followed these words. Then, a burst of hearty laughter erupted in the room.

The group, who had initially looked at Anjing with curiosity and inquisitive eyes, now wore expressions of goodwill and friendliness. A martial artist in a brown robe laughed and stepped forward to greet them, "Hahaha, Lord Tianming, there's no need for introductions. I've known you for a long time."

"Oh my, it's actually Ming Guangchen's disciple! I thought it was the acting sect leader! Quick, quick, I have some good tea here!"

“That kid Amin hasn’t been a Saint for long, yet his disciple, whom he’s only taught for a short time, can fight and defeat a Saint Ancestral Spirit head-on, and even fight against the Eternal Heavenly Venerable’s mark alone—I think he probably can’t beat An Jing yet!”

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, and an elderly man, who appeared to be the oldest and whose demeanor was as steady as a mountain, stroked his beard and chuckled, "Young friend An, let's not talk about your name or appearance. The great things you've done lately, one after another, are simply earth-shattering."

"Our sect has issued a special document requiring all junior disciples to 'fully understand' all your information. From your clothing preferences, favorite foods, and tone of voice to the smallest details like how you might raise your left eyebrow slightly when you're impatient and glance at people, everything is recorded, for fear of any oversight!"

Although martial artists are not afraid of trouble, they rarely cause trouble recklessly. The prerequisite for doing great things is having the strength to do great things. To deliberately provoke destiny is obviously courting death. Basically, it can be said that all the martial artists in any sect that can be considered a 'side sect' or has a little reputation know An Jing, so as to avoid accidentally getting into trouble in the future and having their entire sect kicked to death by destiny!

The Jin Yuantian Squad is essentially a group of like-minded people who can be completely trusted; they are truly "one of us."

As the chosen one, if An Jing were to act aloof, people would naturally treat him with respect, but there would still be a barrier between them. However, An Jing never puts on airs about being the chosen one, so he can naturally blend into the atmosphere very quickly.

From the very beginning, when they knew of An Jing's existence and before An Jing revealed himself to be the chosen one, they were eager to meet him. As An Jing's talent and strength grew stronger, their anticipation only increased.

Unfortunately, An Jing is a very busy person, and their schedules are always mismatched. But this time, thanks to the power of the distant heavens, they have finally managed to match up.

"An Jing!"

Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, a loud, bell-like voice rang out, and a robust, white-haired young man strode over.

His aura was so strong that it was in no way inferior to Jin Yanhua after his breakthrough, and in terms of pure 'momentum', it was even better.

Jin Yanhua's true essence of heaven and earth, when sensed slightly, was rain clouds, steel, and thunder, while the white-haired youth's aura was mountains, earth, and lava—heavy and majestic, an ancient and enduring force that drives all things. He was already quite pleased to learn that Jin Yanhua had broken through to the Manifestation Saint realm, and even reached the high level of Manifestation Saint in one fell swoop. Now, An Jing's appearance made his eyes light up, adding to his joy.

He strode over, laughing heartily, and raised a palm: "It's Ah Ming's apprentice—no, he's probably even stronger than Ah Ming now!"

An Jing also skillfully raised his hand and exchanged palm strikes with the other party. It looked like a very modern greeting, but in reality, it was a gesture of exchanging strength between demon spirits. The two exchanged palm strikes, and the force was withdrawn immediately upon contact. There was not even a sound. Only an invisible force operating in silence distorted the atmosphere.

An Jing's body moved naturally, easily dissipating and neutralizing the force. Through this brief encounter, he realized that the opponent's power was incomparably strong and had almost no upper limit. Clearly, the opponent was the holder of the 'Path of Destiny'.

It's already clear who the visitor is.

Naturally, it was Xie Mingfei, another leader of the Heavenly Palace Squad, who spent most of his time on missions in the Southern Wilderness Hongzhou!
The Heavenly Palace Squad has two founders. One is Jin Yanhua, who comes from the Ancestral Dragon Palace. The other is the white-haired youth in front of us. His true form is the ancient ferocious beast 'Taishan Zhifei'. It can cause water to dry up and grass to die. Its appearance is a sign of a great plague in the world. It is an ancient calamity beast.

Although Xie Mingfei was born as a ferocious beast, he did not resemble a beast in human form. He retained some of his original features, with a pair of huge bull horns on his head that looked like they were carved from a rock, and a long and powerful snake tail covered with dark scales trailing behind him.

Judging from their appearance alone, they are almost identical to dragon people.

Legend has it that when Jin Yanhua and Xie Mingfei were still lone wolves, they once collaborated by chance during a mission. The enemy laid a trap, intending to use a magical artifact to subdue the dragons against Jin Yanhua and an array to target the spirit of the Fei beast against Xie Mingfei. However, the two had a flash of inspiration and switched identities. This caused those enemies who were preparing to deal with the dragons to run headlong into Xie Mingfei, a monstrous spirit with immense strength and impervious to all magic, while those who were preparing to deal with the Fei beast were blasted into charred remains by Jin Yanhua's Five Weapons and Five Thunderbolts.

From then on, the two hit it off immediately and found the collaboration extremely satisfying, so they joined forces to create the Heavenly Palace Squad.

At this moment, Xie Mingfei's body was surrounded by a tangible flow of blood energy, which was as intense as magma and even produced tiny arcs of electricity in the air, proving that his physical strength had reached an unbelievable level.

"Uncle-Master Mingfei!"

After greeting him in the manners of the demon race, An Jing still politely cupped his hands in a salute, fulfilling the proper etiquette of a junior. Xie Mingfei laughed heartily, touched the horns on his head, and said happily, "I dare not be called your senior uncle. We address each other by our own titles. You can just call me elder brother."

He put his arm around An Jing's shoulder and said affectionately, "Let's not talk about that. Thanks to Jin Yuantian, this is the first time I've met you and Ming Jing!"

As he said this, Xie Mingfei also looked at You Ruhui, who was standing next to Jin Yanhua.

Meanwhile, You Ruhui was surrounded by other members of the Heavenly Palace team, and was being pointed at and talked about by everyone, saying things like, "Oh, I held you when you were little!" "I lifted you up!" "I carried you around!" "I flew with you!"
