Chapter 513 Terrifying Intelligence (1/2)
The person who invited Shen Lian only requested Shen Lian's presence. He or she did not specify any meeting point. Shen Lian understood this person's intentions all too well. This was to test whether Shen Lian was capable of finding him or her.
The lanterns in the surrounding shone bright like day. The truth was that it could be traced to the transformation of the spirit flame. Someone got rid of the wishes of lost souls, and what was left behind was pure spirit flame. This was what made the lantern festival so grand.
It could be said that the stars in the sky were the transformation of souls. The lanterns on earth were also transformed from the will of a spirit. The interaction of stars and lanterns made it truly difficult to tell one from the other. This caused quite a bit of interference with Shen Lian.
Shen Lian did not bring Xiao Hei with him but rode on Pegasus instead. They buoyantly arrived at Dongcheng and drew the attention of many onlookers. He may have become the State Preceptor of Xia Kingdom, but few really knew him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hei was pitifully guarding the temple. Shen Lian, however, gave Xiao Hei an elixir just before he left. The elixir contained pure spiritual vigor. After all, Xiao Hei could speak, but only superficially.
On the other hand, Pegasus did not have high natural qualities but was very hardworking. Tree branches gradually protruded out from the head of Pegasus. It turned out that Pegasus had dragon blood, albeit in extremely thin form. After having been with Shen Lian for some time, Pegasus was tainted with the Qi of Dao. Pegasus would gradually be able to purify its own thin dragon blood and perhaps one day, Pegasus could transform into a dragon.
Shen Lian rode in the sky on the white Pegasus, fitted with a silver saddle. People might not know him, but their attention was still drawn to him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
They circled the whole of Dongcheng and finally reached the shore. Wherever could the person who invited Shen Lian be? Even the use of divine thoughts did not yield any results. His unseen premonition was even malfunctioning here.
As he looked down from the sky above, all the lanterns were assembled to become a picture. Shen Lian was reminded of the Flower of the Other Shore that was given by Lei Jing.
Every time Shen Lian observed the flower, he felt the urge to eat it. No one in this world had more self-control than Shen Lian, yet he still could not resist that desire. This just goes to show how much of an impression the Flower of the Other Shore gave to him, to the point where he was at a loss as to why the flower incited such lust within him.
It appears that the person who invited him to the lantern festival understood him quite well.
All the young men and women around Shen Lian were pointing their fingers at him. Some of the well-informed people already knew that this man was Xia's State Preceptor.
Mixed feelings were stirred in the young men. Shen Lian alone quietly made a living dead person out of Ming Luo, and furthermore broke into the ranks at Xia Palace. Still, he escaped unscathed, and to top it off he became the State Preceptor. Even though it was known that Shen Lian's doing might bring about harm to Xia Kingdom, people could not help but look to him with respect and admiration.
Many young women thought of Shen Lian as a hero. Their hearts skipped a beat after having seen Shen Lian riding his white Pegasus in such a dashing manner. There were a certain freshness and elegance compared to the vigorous heroics of Xia's young men.
Shen Lian was unknowingly surrounded by the young women. Some of them were accompanied by dates, but once Shen Lian was there, none of their dates could pry them away from him.
Some of the men were infuriated but were met with retort. ”If you could perform the same feats as Shen Lian, we would be willing to do whatever you ask of us,” the ladies explain.
For the most part, this was the difference in the disposition between the two genders. Lei Jing was a woman, so she was predisposed to womanly natures.
Whether it was envy, grudge, a wish-wash of every emotion, or even the sizing up of him with an infatuated look, Shen Lian did not feel uneasy. He only mulled over that thought that he became a superstar of Diqiu.
More and more people gathered around, and the flow of water was obstructed. Shen Lian smiled and fished out a handful of soybeans. These soybeans were harvested from Zhiwei Temple. With Shen Lian's mana, one night was all that was needed for the beans to sprout, flower, and produce more beans.
The beans were fresh. He scattered them all around. Before the onlookers could react, gold light filled their eyes. At that point in time, a group of tall and strong gods clothed in gold blocked Shen Lian from the crowd of onlookers and paved a way for him.
The young men of Xia inherited noble blood. Even if they had not put in hard work in cultivation, they were still more skillful than most Qi cultivators and had greater strength.
But these soldiers that were created from Shen Lian's technique possessed the strength of thick earth and they formed an unbroken line. A mere comparison of strength with the noblemen of Xia and one could immediately deduce that the noblemen were no match for the soldiers.
