Chapter 594 The Condition
“Ha, ha, ha…”
Yan Ziye laughed, “That guy ran away? It’s no wonder he did that. Compared with facing the blame from those five holy sects here, it is better to go back to his hometown and admit his mistakes.”
“The holy sects react quickly. No time to lose. We should go now.” Li Hai who had been silence before reminded the crowd.
“If we leave here, could Lord Jiuzhou cope with them alone?”
Jiang Run couldn’t help asking. Su Li smiled slightly and said softly, “You should worry about yourself but not me. Leave with them.”
Jiang Run didn’t understand her words. But he didn’t speak any more.
After a short while, the people in the Chunting Court were gone. There was only the light of spiritual stones dotting around Su Li.
The court was silent for a while. Then an old man wearing a black robe opened the door and walked to Su Li. The old man wore a more respectful look than that of him one year ago. He was genuine and sincere.
“Honored Master, here comes Ye Che.”
…
There were only a few people who were sensible in the world. So were the pract.i.tioners.
In an hour after the announcement of Tianjiao List, the number of people in Shengxian City decreased by ten percent. Few people noticed those people who left. The crowd here were still immersed in the excitement of release of the new list.
It was too late to leave when four giant palaces appeared.
“That’s…the palace of Shengtian Shrine!”
Someone exclaimed.
“The people of Han Sect, Shenbei Holy Sect and Xiuluo Holy Sect are all here!”
“Since such a big event has happened, they will definitely send someone here to investigate. I don’t know who will be sent here.”
No one dared to touch the taboo of Shengxian City. The four palaces stopped outside the city, and then they were put away. There appeared seventy or eighty people led by four people with remarkable pneumas who were recognized quickly.
The thin man on the far left was in a steel gray robe. His eyes and face were cold and he was surrounded by frost like a ghost in the ice.
This person, Xie Hunzi, was the Law Enforcement Elder from Han Sect in Ghost Region.
The one on the right side of Xie Hunzi was a plain-looking old man who led the troops of Shenbei Holy Sect. No one knew who he was.
A woman in a red dress was shrouded in blood-red light. Her face seemed to have been carefully crafted. She had long blood-red hair and blood-red lips which were eye-catching.
“She is the Deputy Lord of Xiuluo Holy Sect, Lady Xuedu!”
said someone who was horrified. Lady Xuedu was notorious among the male pract.i.tioners. She was the nightmare of them. It was said that the male pract.i.tioners who died on her bed and also were sucked into mummies could form a top-grade sect, some of which were holy boys of the other holy sects. She was really a female pract.i.tioner of evil circle.
“Oh, what day is it today? Usually, I couldn’t see you. Now you guys all go into the street. It really makes me so excited.”
Lady Xuedu walked to the black-clothed man in front of the troops of Shengtian Shrine, “Yuanguang, we haven’t seen each other for many years. I miss you so much.”
The black-haired man wore a cold expression. His lips were not thick, and his hair hung down loosely. His eyes were gleaming. He pushed the hand of Lady Xuedu away which landed on his shoulder. Then his voice spread throughout Shengxian City.
“Where is the elder of Shengtian Shrine?”
“He is Ling Yuanguang from Shengtian Shrine!”
The knowledgeable pract.i.tioner changed his face and sighed inwardly, “He is the previous generation of holy boy of Shengtian Shrine and also the inc.u.mbent Deputy Lord of Shengtian Shrine. When he began to live in retirement two thousand years ago, he has already been in the nature’s test. His power must be unfathomable now!”
“Unexpectedly, Shengtian Shrine sent him here. Lord of Evil and the holy girl must have an accident!”
There was no response for a long time.
Ling Yuanguang frowned. The person who came to Shengxian City this time was just an ordinary elder who was in charge of trivial affairs. He didn’t dare to defy Ling Yuanguang. The only possibility was that he was dead as well?
Seeing this scene, Lady Xuedu smiled slightly and transmitted the sound, “The people of Xiuluo Holy Sect, come to see me.”
It was still silence here.
Xie Hunzi of Han Sect stepped out and sniffed. Then he frowned. He couldn’t smell Zhao Qianyuan’s pneuma.
“The elder of Shenbei Holy Sect also disappears.”
The old man of Shenbei Holy Sect whispered. All of these four people frowned.
“Why don’t you go to the city first and ask the Lord of Tianyake Attic what has happened?”
Lady Xuedu spoke with a smile, as if she just went for an outing. It seemed that she didn’t worry about Luo Hong at all.
Ling Yuanguang didn’t look at her, and he led the troops into the city without hesitation. Xie Hunzi showed a defiant att.i.tude, and he just left as well. In the end, the old man of Shenbei Holy Sect who made a palm and fist salute to Lady Xuedu and then followed them.
“What a group of rude young people.”
Lady Xuedu shook her head and smiled. She followed them with her people.
…
Tianyake Attic’s door was still open.
When Ling Yuanguang stepped into the attic, he just saw a girl in a black dress, who seemed to be in her early twenties. She was sitting behind the counter and drinking slowly.
Ling Yuanguang came up and asked coldly, “Junior, where is the Lord of Tianyake Attic?”
The girl in a black dress put down the tea cup in her hand and raised her head. The black lotus mark on the corner of her eyebrow was very mysterious. Her bright eyes were s.h.i.+ning with unearthly light, “Do you mean the innkeeper, Xie Wei?”
“Yes.”
Ling Yuanguang responded. He looked around, only to find that the Tianyake Attic seemed to be emptied and there was no one.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and changed his expression.
“You are right. Xie Wei, the innkeeper has run away with Xiao Si. He probably ran back to the hometown of Tianyake Attic to shut his door and reflect on his misdeeds. The people living here are all smart. They have left here early.”
Seeing Lady Xuedu and others who came in one after another, Su Li replied with a smile, “You have bad luck.”
“Bad luck?”
Lady Xuedu walked to Ling Yuanguang and looked at the girl in a black dress with a cold smile, “Little girl, do you know whom you are speaking to? I don’t accept ‘no warned, no fault’.”
“Of course, I know.”
Su Li was clearly drunk. She pointed to Lady Xuedu who was getting more and more unfriendly, “You are shrouded by stinky pneuma. You must come from Xiuluo Holy Sect.”
“You…”
Su Li pointed at Xie Hunzi, “You have the ice toxin pneuma which is even stinkier than that of hers. Are you from the unlucky Han Sect? The other two people must be from Shenbei Holy Sect and Shengtian Shrine respectively…”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Then Su Li gradually sobered up. She said with a teasing smile,
“Eh… I think in addition to Shenbei Holy Sect, the other three of those holy sects must be muddled.”
Ling Yuanguang suddenly realized something and he blurted out, “You are Su Jiuzhou!”
Su Li smiled more. She reached out her hands and flipped them. Then a huge amount of light of tactical matrix surged around her which blocked her body. They could only hear the voice of Su Li.
“Yes, I am. You are so late.”
The mist gradually rose, covering the surroundings. Lady Xuedu was shocked and she immediately sneered, “Just a low-grade tactical matrix. Let me break it!”
She stretched out her hand. It seemed that she grabbed a transparent net. After she tugged it violently, the sound of tearing the cloth came out. Then the tactical matrix was shattered. Ling Yuanguang just used his sword once and the light of tactical matrix dimmed. Xie Hunzi took a lot of effort to break free from the tactical matrix. Then he reappeared in front of Su Li. But he didn’t look well.
However, the elder of the Shenbei Holy Sect hadn’t got out of the tactical matrix for a long time.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Su Li clapped, “It seems that the cultivation realm of my eleventh-grade tactical matrix is a bit low. Elder Ye, I heard that in your era, it was not tactical matrix that prospered but the curbs which were more complex than the tactical matrix. I suddenly became interested in curbs.”
“Who is she talking to?”
Ling Yuanguang was out of trouble but he did not relax his vigilance. Suddenly, he was horrified to find that he…couldn’t move.
“Who are you… Senior?”
Lady Xuedu could only move her eyes. She was scared now. Before she could finish her words, a blood-red handprint appeared on her left cheek.
“A dirty mouth. You deserve this slap.”
Xie Hunzi’s cultivation was the weakest among those four people. He got crashed onto the ground by this force. Then the breaking sound came from his bones.
As for the other junior disciples, they vomited blood and pa.s.sed out earlier.
Ye Che in a black robe appeared beside Su Li out of thin air with a smile. His power overwhelmed all of them. Then Ye Che said, “The guy hiding in the tactical matrix, do you want to take a sneak attack on my master so you don’t get out of the tactical matrix?”
Boom…
The tactical matrix was broken, and the old man of Shenbei Holy Sect appeared. Under the pressure of Ye Che’s force, he could move and saluted, “I am Tu Zhi from Shenbei Holy Sect. Nice to see you, Senior of Ghost Clan.”
Immortal Tu Zhi?!
Ling Yuanguang was shocked. Indeed, there was one of the Grand Elders called Immortal Tu Zhi in Shenbei Holy Sect!
The Grand Elder showed up. No wonder Su Jiuzhou referred to these three sects. Shenbei Holy Sect had detected something!
“Su Jiuzhou, she…”
Ling Yuanguang wore a serious look. Originally, he was only wary of the people behind Su Li, but at this moment, his was scared of her.
Ye Che stood beside Su Li, “No need to tell me your name. Even if you say it, I won’t know who you are. Besides, why did you only greet me but ignore my master?”
Immortal Tu Zhi’s expression changed slightly, and he looked at Su Jiuzhou cautiously.
Master?!
This ghost was clearly an old fox with an unknown age. Why did he recognize a girl as his master?
Although Tu Zhi was disdainful inwardly, he made a palm and fist salute as opposed to showing his displeasure.
“Su Jiuzhou has been a household name in Qingshui Circle. Your Excellency, you are to be congratulated!”
“Tu Zhi from Shenbei Holy Sect, are you here to find Fang Lan?”
Su Jiuzhou looked confident and said in a teasing tone, “I can tell you four, the holy boys and holy girls of your sects are all visiting my Ni Sect. They would be discharged on one simple condition.”
She put down the wine gla.s.s and sat up straight. Then she glanced over these four people sternly.
“How about giving up cooperating with Fate Palace and overthrowing Fate Ancestor with me?”
