Chapter 352: 66: You are the Holy Maiden of the Raven Sect from those years

Xia Country and Diluo Country’s negotiation meeting happened to be scheduled at an oasis.

A winding river flowed through the oasis; the scorching sun made the water’s surface glisten like fish scales.

The chief guard, who was leading the way, stood under a giant spiritual tree, the flourishing branches blocking out the sun, his expression somewhat dissatisfied.

“If Diluo Country really had agreed to cooperate, they would have shown up by now, Your Majesty. The appointed time has long passed.”

Zhao Huai, on the other hand, was very calm, saying, “Since Diluo Country agreed to the meeting, this matter is more than half done. The other party is just putting on a show, trying to gain the upper hand in the negotiations and become the winning side; this is a common trick.”

“I hope this Imperial Master of Diluo won’t disappoint.”

Madam handles myriad affairs daily, and Xia Country has many more tasks to deal with, so naturally, she wouldn’t come to negotiate in person, leaving such matters to themselves.

As they talked, not far from the yellow sand, a figure in a black robe with a veil appeared, the silhouette looking like a woman.

There were a few followers nearby, escorting her on both sides.

Zhao Huai saw this scene and was somewhat unexpected.

“This Diluo Imperial Master turned out to be a woman. It seems her methods are definitely not low. The chances of success in this trip are still great. At least the other party is definitely not stupid.”

The other party’s figure seemed quite graceful in the yellow sand, and on closer inspection, it was a young woman in a black robe, emitting a faint aura like divinity. Her white, bare feet stepping on the gravel appeared not dirty but rather highlighted the attractiveness of her jade-like feet.

She had silver-white long hair, a pair of beautiful eyes that were cold and deep, radiating a curious look as she closely observed Zhao Huai, revealing a surprised expression.

The man before her seemed very familiar, reminding her of someone she thought about day and night.

But hadn’t he disappeared for many years?

Every time her mind was troubled, faint lines surfaced on her forehead, calming her emotions.

It was the divinity that Lord Crow Immortal had mentioned before.

Having chosen the power of deities and becoming the Ascended Immortal Emissary, who would receive perpetual worship, she could only serve them for a lifetime, and her human emotions and desires would be diluted accordingly.

On the sand dunes of the oasis.

Zhao Huai gazed at the Diluo Imperial Master and also noticed something wrong.

His Divination Skill failed for the first time, seeing no trace of qi, as if the fate was obscured by someone.

This Diluo Imperial Master seemed not so simple.

She looked very familiar, too.

“Sir, you must be the Diluo Country’s Imperial Master.”

Zhao Huai took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.

“Yes.”

Yin Nanyu looked at the Zhao Huai in front of her, and almost confirmed.

He was the person she had been looking for.

Zhao Huai looked very serious, saying, “If you want to bring up any conditions, just go ahead. Now that the Primitive World’s army is on the side, humans are like fish in a pot, the Demon Race is the knife and plank, and you are a smart person. I believe you can sort out the interests.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Nanyu didn’t reply, but rather did something that puzzled the people around her.

“Zhao Huai, do you still recognize me?”

Yin Nanyu slowly removed her veil, revealing a delicate and beautiful face that would astonish any man.

“It’s you.”

Zhao Huai’s face was quite surprised but felt as if it were within reason.

A smart mysterious woman, like her, couldn’t just disappear without a cause. She must have something more important to do.

Unexpectedly, the Diluo National Master turned out to be an old acquaintance of his.

Yin Nanyu had worked under his command, making many contributions to Yan Country, but later disappeared without reason, leaving a void in her position.

“It seems you’re not surprised.”

Seeing Zhao Huai’s expression, Yin Nanyu was disappointed at his calmness, and her emotions became even more stable.

“I’ve been suspecting your identity for some time but couldn’t come up with a definitive answer. Now, it has confirmed my suspicion,” said Zhao Huai.

“I lied to you; aren’t you angry?”

Yin Nanyu’s eyebrows furrowed.

“No matter what, you once made many contributions to Yan Country. Even if you go, I can’t bind everyone.”Zhao Huai replied.

These words were honest and sincere. After hearing so much flattery and grandiose language, Yin Nanyu felt a pang of sadness at the bottom of her heart when she learned Zhao Huai’s thoughts.

However, she quickly adjusted herself, stopped looking at Zhao Huai, and stared elsewhere, turning her body to the side and saying:

“So many years have passed, yet you are still as ruthless as you were back then, not changing at all.”

Zhao Huai’s expression didn’t change as he pondered, “Five years ago, the Diluo Country didn’t have an imperial teacher, which means your rise to power hadn’t happened at that time. So, being the Imperial Master of the Diluo country isn’t your real identity. What, then, is your true identity?”

Yin Nanyu’s gaze remained indifferent as she looked at him and said, “Are you so concerned about my identity? Well, I’ll tell you the answer now.”

After saying that, she pinched her jade finger, and a cold frosty spiritual qi surged and shot towards Zhao Huai.

Is she angry?

Zhao Huai remained composed, a golden light appearing between his palms, accompanied by the roaring and hissing of dragons and tigers. A golden dragon several dozen feet long shot out from his hands.

“So powerful.”

Yin Nanyu was slightly taken aback and had no choice but to mobilize all her strength to resist, even using a bit of power from the immortal tool Yin and Yang Twins.

“Boom!” Even so, her body was still forced to retreat many steps, and the vegetation between the two was destroyed.

In the reflection of the oasis river, Yin Nanyu turned into a stream of light, her bare jade-like feet touching the ground as she soared back to her original location.

Her beautiful eyes revealed shock, and she solemnly looked at Zhao Huai, her gaze fixed on him. Even she couldn’t help but feel a ripple in her heart at his power, asking:

“Have you broken through to the Rebirth Realm?”

Now, her cultivation had grown immensely strong due to the blessing of Crow Immortal. She could even withstand the powerful Rebirth Metamorphosing Realm practitioners.

Zhao Huai’s strike just now was not to be underestimated.

In just five short years, his cultivation had risen so dramatically?

No wonder the Xia’s Empress sent him to negotiate.

Zhao Huai glanced back at her direction, recalling the unique magic power and spiritual power that had erupted during their brief exchange. It seemed he had seen it somewhere before.

Suddenly, he figured it out, and his eyes widened in realization.

“So, you were the Holy Maiden of the Raven Sect back then.”

“I didn’t expect the Holy Maiden of the Raven Sect to still be alive.”

Zhao Huai smiled slightly before looking at her playfully and said, “As far as I know, the Raven Sect was already destroyed several years ago. Did you do that?”

“So what if I did?”

Yin Nanyu had wanted to vent her anger on Zhao Huai to express the frustration of waiting bitterly for years without anyone coming to her. But she couldn’t beat him, so she had no choice but to look at him expressionlessly.

“It seems a lot has happened during this time. Your departure was not a coincidence but had a deeper reason.”

“Now, even though you only have cultivation of the Golden Core Realm, you can mobilize a power that doesn’t belong to yourself. It seems you have successfully become an Ascended Immortal Emissary.”

Zhao Huai analyzed it all and noticed the changes in Yin Nanyu’s body in one go.

Apart from the will of the Demon Immortals in these cults who descended the divine miracles, there were also mortal remnants of immortals in the Central State who had been secretly accepted by the celestial immortals as disciples.

Zhao Huai did not think he had such a great opportunity, but that didn’t mean others didn’t.

Thinking of this, he asked curiously:

“How does Crow Immortal view the suffering of the beings in Western State?”

Yin Nanyu squinted her eyes and said indifferently, “The master doesn’t care.”

Zhao Huai scoffed, folding his arms and stroking his chin, saying, “A master who doesn’t care… I don’t believe he doesn’t care. It’s just that the time hasn’t come for him to take action. If the road to ascension returns to normal, those immortals would be eager to descend and show off their divine skills in the human world, seizing the perpetuation. They haven’t taken action now; they’re just waiting for a suitable opportunity.”

Unknowingly, even Yin Nanyu didn’t notice that Zhao Huai had already taken the upper hand in the negotiation.

Yin Nanyu only knew-

What Zhao Huai said was true.

Crow Immortal had already begun plotting his descent, saying that the heavens were already thinking of ways to help.

Once the time came, all the Human Immortal Ancestors, perpetuation and deities from the Middle Ages would appear in the human world.
