<h4>Chapter 62 A Heaven Beyond Heaven</h4>


    There’s a moon in the sky, bright and enchanting; there’s wine on the ground, fragrant and mellow.


    The world was already filled with spring flowers of the fourth month, but here, it was still the most beautiful season for plum blossoms. The fragrance of the blossoms wafted about, mixing with the fragrance of wine. It was impossible to resist indulging. Next to the plum tree, there was a person dressed in a white robe sitting under the moon. Next to the plum tree, he raised a cup made of white jade, took a sip, and gently narrowed his eyes. He looked as if he was getting drunk.


    This was a realm of foreignnds, a heaven beyond heavens.


    This person was unusually beautiful, his beautyparable to that of the moon in the sky, as luxuriant as the plums. But this person was a man.


    A man with no hair.


    Formerly a monk from Snowy Peak Temple, Wuxin. Presently, the Sect Leader of Outerheaven, Ye Anshi.


    Drinking alone under the moon had always been a lonely pastime, and now, there was even a slight flurry of snow. Ye Anshi reached out his hand to catch the snowkes, but they melted before they even touched his palm. He sighed, frowned slightly, and lowered his head to drain the wine in his cup. However, he found some of the falling petals had fallen into the cup, and he smiled.


    The elegance and magnificence was unparalleled.


    There was a faint sounding from the western wall, as faint as a plum flower blossoming. Ye Anshi heard it, but didn''t seem to care. He tipped the wine in his cup onto the ground and lifted his face to look into the night sky.


    Ye Anshi smiled lightly, walked to the plum tree and reached for it with his jade-white fingers. He plucked a plum blossom and thought silently to himself, That’s probably thest one.


    Unknowingly, the flurry of snow began to fall a little more messily. As if there was a sudden gust of wind, even the plum tree began to shake. Finally the flowers fell like rain, mingled with the fine snow that’d suddenly increased in volume, Ye Anshi felt that everything in front of him was engulfed in the flowers and snow. Faced with this sudden unnatural event, he didn''t panic at all and merely continued to look at the plum blossom in his hand without a word.


    Suddenly a trace of ckness pierced through the beautiful flowers and snow. It was a sabre with an entirely ck de and when it pierced through the flowers and snow, the ck-coloured de emitted a strange light. Just as the de was about to touch Ye Anshi’s chest, he finally moved. He retreated backwards, then gently waved his hand, and the plum blossom stuck onto the de and flew with the entire sabre back towards the person who’d thrown it.


    The person was shocked, and hurriedly collected the sabre, but the plum blossom brushed past the person’s temple.


    "It is said that the ck de, Snow Rain, will emit a strange light when its murderous intent is at its strongest. After leaving for twelve years, I can finally see this de again." Ye Anshi stood still and smiled, "It''s just that you are not Uncle Li. Uncle Li died twelve years ago. Are you his… daughter?"


    The person with the sabre was dressed in ck, and she pointed her sabre towards the ground while remaining cold and silent. Her chilling murderous aura was not as intense as before, but the snow and flowers around her still fluttered around chaotically.


    "When I was young, did I meet you? Is your name Li Yunyan?" Ye Anshi thought for a while, and asked softly. He suddenly remembered that he had seen this woman when he was young. Back then, her hair was tied in a tail that stuck straight up, and was always overbearing in her manner. Now she has grown into an attractive and intelligentdy. However, she has also be a knife in someone else’s hands.


    "Duan Chenyi has been trying to usurp the Outerheaven Sect Leader position for twelve years, and he cultivated twelve des called the “Rain des” to be his death squad. But who knew that the moment I returned, he fled and left these twelve des to assassinate me. The day before yesterday, four came. Yesterday, seven came. Today, there’s only you left. You know you can’t beat me, so why did youe to seek death?" Ye Anshi slowly walked towards the swordsman.


    The swordsman tightened her grip on her sabre and frowned.


    "Because you love him?" Ye Anshi stopped and said suddenly.


    The swordsman suddenly raised her head, and the ck-coloured de once again emitted that strange light.


    Ye Anshi didn''t seem to notice it at all. He simply walked back to the plum tree and sighed softly. "The plum blossoms of Huaxue Vi always wither away quickly, and always, there will be a slight snowfall at the same time. When Dad was still alive, he would wait every year for this moment of withering yet beautiful scenery. He called this kind of scenery “snow dying prematurely”. He thought that when the plum blossoms withered, the snow also died with them. I had waited a long time to see this “snow dying prematurely”, but you cut down all the flowers with a single de."


    The swordsman looked at the ground full of flowers and couldn''t help feeling sad. When she was young, she often saw the man who Ye Anshi called his dad watching the snow in this courtyard. Back then, she felt that the man himself was like a scenery in the snow. The swordsman closed her eyes and gripped the sabre in her hand tightly. Ye Anshi did not see clearly how she swung her sabre, but in the blink of an eye, the ck light had prated the falling snow and wasing straight at him.


    With a light wave of his hand, all the flowers on the ground were swept up and he attacked the swordsman. The mysterious ck light instantly dimmed. The swordsman felt the sabre’s momentume to a sudden stop and it could no longer move forward. She opened her eyes in shock, only to find that the scenery in front of her had long been saturated with falling snow and flower petals.


    Ye Anshi watched the swordsman in front of him copse onto the ground. He walked over and waved his hand gently, brushing away the remaining flowers on her body. Two people walked out of the pavilion, a white-haired man with a jade sword, and a man in fluttering violet clothes.


    White-haired Immortal and Violet Marquis.


    "Bring her away, and when she wakes up from her sleep, she’ll forget everything. The twelve Rain des have all been broken. As for whether or not we go after Duan Chenyi, I’ll leave that up to you." Ye Anshi looked up at the moon in the sky and suddenly recited, "Tonight we enter White Dew, the moon in my home is still the brightest."


    White-haired Immortal raised his head and smiled, "I wonder where is the hometown in Sect Leader’s heart? Is it Outerheaven or Snowy Peak Temple?"


    Ye Anshi smiled and said, "Do you know where my father was from before he came to Outerheaven?"


    White-haired Immortal was taken aback for a moment, and shook his head. "Sect Leader never talked about his past."


    "It was Hangzhou. Before I turned four, I lived in Hangzhou with my father. If we’re talking about our hometown, then Hangzhou is my hometown." Ye Anshi looked into the distance. "But I only remember that there was ake in front of our house where the water was clear. There was a weeping willow by theke and my mother loved tob her hair while she faced theke. But, one morning, they found herb beside theke, and since then, I never found her again. Later, my father brought me here."


    "He built this Huaxue Vi and became the Sect Leader of Outerheaven. Later, he became the supreme leader of all the sects in these foreignnds. Finally, he invaded the Central ins with a heart that seemed filled with grand passion, but I always thought that he never really knew where he wanted to go."


    "If I remember correctly, my father actually died in Hangzhou. It doesn''t matter where my hometown is. Wherever the people you care about are, that’s your real hometown."


    "So whether it’s Snowy Peak Temple or Huaxue Vi, neither is my hometown." Ye Anshi waved his hand, and a plum blossom on the ground floated into his hand. He lifted it to the tip of his nose and sniffed.


    "If I remember correctly, Sect Leader once said that you wanted to visit the immortal mountain beyond the sea, and the ends of Heaven," Violet Marquis said suddenly.


    Ye Anshi nodded and said with a smile, "That’s right. I want to go there and take a look. I''m not an old man, so I wouldn’t be thinking about returning to my roots all the time."
