Chapter 468 - Mysterious Young Maiden (2/2)

Four youthful young maidens stood beside her dutifully, each one with appearances that could topple countries and cities, but despite this, their beauty was eclipsed by that of the young maiden in the white dress, making them look dull and lacking in color in comparison, just like stars appearing dull and dim because they surround a bright moon.

Elder Qiu and the few others stood at the foot of the lone peak, trembling. They lowered their heads and their eyes flickered as they did, neither one daring to look the young maiden in the eyes. Elder Qiu’s wound was already bandaged, but vague traces of blood still remained visible on his garments.

“Who was it?” asked the young maiden. Her voice was like the flow of a small stream, like an echo in an empty valley, refres.h.i.+ng and pleasing to the ear, yet so distant and proud.

“I don’t know. It was a group consisting of two men and a girl. The girl and one of the men both possessed cultivation in the realm of Great Fulfilment. I’m afraid they are reinforcements sent by Resurrection Hall,” answered Elder Qiu in a trembling voice. He was full of awe and fear when facing the young maiden before him.

“Huh.” The young maiden responded indifferently as she continued to look at a range of mountains in the distance. At this moment, it was as though all the grand mountains and cliffs around them were all mere subjects beneath her feet.

“Miss, please be rest a.s.sured. I have already used the Nether Blood Ants. They will definitely not be able to arrive at Rejuvenation Valley,” added Elder Qiu hurriedly. His body was ice cold, but dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Go, then.” It was as if the young maiden did not hear what Elder Qiu said as she gently waved her sleeves to send him and his men away.

“Yes, yes. Miss, please be rest a.s.sured. This time we definitely will not disappoint Miss,” said Elder Qiu, feeling relieved as he bowed and retreated.

He retreated to the point where he could no longer see the young maiden before plopping his b.u.t.t onto the ground. His feet felt like they were filled with lead and his whole body also felt as if he had just been dragged out of water.
