Chapter 1102 Shocking the World
A group of high-ranking personnel gathered, men and women, old and young, with the weakest of them being at the King stage.
In the main seat was the one leading the meeting, a youth in an intricate outfit.
He had a valiant bearing, his handsome face giving off the impression of being clean and neat. He just casually sat there, but the invisible aura emanating from him suffocated the group of bigwigs.
Moreover, they were all sitting upright with solemnity and awe on their faces.
The youth was not what he looked like, and instead an old monster who had stepped into the Saint stage several thousands of years ago, titled Lord Jade Palace with an unfathomable cultivation level.
“A humiliation!”
Lord Jade Palace opened his mouth, breaking the dead silence. Everyone’s hearts jumped, and their expressions dropped.
“My Spirit Treasure Holy Land has stood since the ancient era, but has never suffered such a humiliation!”
Lord Jade Palace’s voice was indifferent. His words resounded like thunder, emitting a soul-shocking might that rumbled through the big hall.
“However…”
Lord Jade Palace’s tone suddenly softened. “No one is to blame. Who would have thought that a tiny ant had such an extraordinary figure behind it, right?”
Upon these words, the rest of the hall heaved a sigh of relief, their expressions complicated.
“Milord, what should we do then? Do we just wait for that woman to…visit?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
“What else can we do?” Lord Jade Palace sighed softly. “She has Saint Daokun. No matter how infuriating and embarrassing it will be, we have no choice but to endure.”
Hearing this, a wave of grief and anger surged in everyone’s hearts.
As an ancient dao lineage, when had they ever gone through such treatment?
“Milord, can you surmise who that woman is? Is it true that we can’t afford to mess with her even with the full ability of our Spirit Treasure Holy Land?” a person asked.
“That would require meeting the other party first, perhaps then we will get some clues,” replied Lord Jade Palace, who suddenly looked serious. He got up and left the hall while announcing, “That woman has arrived. You all come with me to meet her!”
On Green Cliff Plain, a golden rainbow road suddenly emerged from nothingness. From the road, a dedicated, hazy figure floated out.
In front of her was a goat.
Even though they had all been informed of the occurrence on Star Chess seashore, the big names of Spirit Treasure Holy Land still felt deeply humiliated and angry upon what they saw.
Turning Saints into animals!
This woman actually herded Saint Daokun into their clan, and she was even alone, looking fearless.
Although the figure was only a clone of the mysterious woman, it was no different from her true self.
Sweeping her gaze over the incoming crowd in the distance, she said in a clear and cold voice, “Don’t you all seem quite angry?”
“I dare not,” replied someone expressionlessly.
Boom!
The mysterious woman took a step forward. In an instant, a terrifying and vast might spread out from her, causing the area to rumble.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Numerous high-ranking figures were suppressed onto the ground in a mess, not even having the power to resist.
“Fellow cultivator, what do you mean by this?” Lord Jade Palace’s face sank. Around him, an aura spread out to repel the mysterious woman’s might.
Shockingly, his aura had only come near her when it was violently pushed back!
Boom!
Lord Jade Palace stumbled. It felt as if he was being suppressed by heavenly storms and the great sun!
Feeling this kind of supreme power caused his face to change again. He finally realized how terrifying the mysterious woman was.
Meanwhile, the other experts were still pressed on the ground. They were in a sorry state, shocked and furious, but no one dared to say a thing.
Such a divine might was simply not something they could withstand!
At that moment, the mysterious woman retracted her might and finally replied to Lord Jade Palace, “I’m bullying the weak. Can’t you see?”
Lord Jade Palace’s expression instantly became gloomy.
This was more than just bullying the weak. She simply did not take their Spirit Treasure Holy Land seriously at all!
However, Lord Jade Palace chose to endure the rage in his heart when he saw the goat that was prostrate beside the mysterious woman.
……
A similar scene happened almost at the same time in Omega Sword Sect, Heaven Axis Holy Land, Azure Sea Sect, and Longevity Land.
No matter how furious and stifled the people of these dao lineages felt, they all ended up having to swallow their feelings.
The mysterious woman was only paying a visit and not going on a killing spree. And since the lives of the five saints who had been transformed into goats were still in her hands, these dao sects could only endure!
In the end, the mysterious woman would leave after selling each goat for a sum large enough to make the sects hurt for a while.
Such as a bottle of ‘Golden Wind Jade Dew’ from Spirit Treasure Holy Land. Although there were only nine drops, the value of each drop was inestimable, not inferior to that of the amount of Lightning Yuan Aeth Liquid in a Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Bamboo section.
Such as a pot of Spirit Condensation Powder’ from Omega Sword Sect, a top-class, rare treasure that could only be obtained when the stars aligned.
In short, the mysterious woman’s goatherding trip was concluded with a victorious, loaded return.
And the terrifying power she had displayed struck shock and fear into those dao lineages. No matter who, they could only endure their hatred in silence.
The only thing that comforted those sects was that when returning the captured saints, the mysterious woman also returned the Saint Treasures to their respective clan.
Otherwise, it would not have ended so smoothly.
……
Such a ruckus could not be hidden. Shortly after the mysterious woman’s clones left the ancient sects, the news grew a pair of wings and spread through the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
Like a bolt from the blue, it raised a clamor.
The identity of the mysterious woman also became the most speculated topic of countless dao clans and cultivators.
Who was she?
What was her relationship with Demon God Lin?
The entire world was in an uproar over this.
The only undeniable fact from this incident was that Omega Sword Sect and a number of other ancient sects had suffered a great blow to their reputation, and were now ashamed and disgraced.
From now on, anyone who wanted to mess with Demon God Lin would have to first weigh the consequences!
This storm was so big that even some of the secluded holy places were startled and began to pay attention.
……
In the Ye Clan of Crape Myrtle Mountain.
Ye Chen was drinking good wine, but he didn’t look too happy.
He had started drinking since the moment he learned that Lin Xun was unharmed. Currently, the floor was filled with empty wine jugs.
“Young Master, you’ll get really drunk if you keep drinking like this,” a maid crisply reminded him.
“You don’t understand. I’m practicing my alcohol tolerance,” mumbled Ye Chen as his eyes glazed over.
“What for?”
“To completely knock that guy over, of course!”
“So that guy’s alcohol tolerance is even better than yours, Young Master?”
By this point, the maid had realized that the young master was already drunk. He lay on the soft chair, mumbling, “Satisfying… Too satisfying…”
So who is that guy?
The maid was dumbfounded.
……
“Lil’ Tian, your friend is alright. Now you can rest easy, right?” said the elderly woman with a smile.
“Grandmother Xuan, I repeat, he is not my friend,” Xiao Cangtian seriously corrected her. “Of course I’m relieved that he is alive, because in order to wash away my shame and redeem my dignity, I must defeat him.”
“Is that so? How certain are you about defeating him?” she asked.
Xiao Cangtian did not hesitate to reply, “Not now, but definitely in the future! Of course, I’ll defeat Ye Chen before that. That pretentious fellow has been unpleasant to the eye since we were kids!”
These words were impassioned and said in an overbearing manner.
“That’s very ambitious of you,” praised the elderly woman smilingly.
Few people knew that the Blade Sword Supreme Duo of the North Dipper World had known each other since they were kids. Even until now, none of them had once admitted the other was stronger than him.
……
Zhao Jingxuan sat properly at the desk, writing a letter while humming a melody. Her expression was relaxed and cheerful.
Her handwriting was different from the typical girl’s as it was robust and unrestrained. Every stroke was written smoothly like a dragon rising and landing, with vigor that penetrated the back of the paper.
“Junior Sister Jingxuan, what song is it that you’re humming?” Yan Zhanqiu’s voice came from outside the room.
This was the forbidden zone at the back of the mountain. Zhao Jingxuan was temporarily grounded here, but she was not completely cut off from the news of the outside world.
She would be too lazy to respond to Yan Zhanqiu if this was a few days ago, but currently, she was in an exceptionally good mood, so she casually replied, “The Heaven Pride Song.”
Yan Zhanqiu was stunned a little before nodding. “Not bad.”
“Of course. Speaking of which, this song has to do with Lin Xun.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhanqiu frowned. “Junior Sister Jingxuan, can you tell me how exactly that guy obtained the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations inheritance?”
The joy Zhao Jingxuan was feeling was suddenly gone and her mood spoiled. Her voice was somewhat icy, “How would I know?”
Yan Zhanqiu sighed. “That’s fine, I’ll just ask him in person when I have the chance.”
“You still want to make an enemy of him?” Zhao Jingxuan’s clear eyes went cold.
Yan Zhanqiu shrugged. “The world knows that as long as one doesn’t have the intention of bullying, they can go and spar with Lin Xun. I’m at a comparable cultivation stage to him. If we have a chance to spar in the future, that won’t count as bullying.”
Zhao Jingxuan was silent for a while before she suddenly smiled, “Then I wish you good luck, Senior Brother Yan.”
“You…” Yan Zhanqiu could not hold back his question in the end. “Aren’t you worried that I’ll kill him?”
“Not at all,” replied Zhao Jingxuan in a heartbeat.
Yan Zhanqiu’s heart suddenly surged with an indescribable fury. Taking a deep breath, he no longer said anything and turned to leave.
In the room, Zhao Jingxuan couldn’t care less about him as she gathered her written letter and carefully sealed it, intending to find a time to send it to the empire.
The letter recorded some matters about Lin Xun, all of which she had carefully selected.
Meanwhile, above the Boundary River, the mysterious woman stood in the air. Her figure was indistinct, and her clothes fluttered like a goddess from the sky.
She gazed far into the depths of the river, and after a long time, she suddenly said, “The great age…may come early!”
