Chapter 534: Princess of the Sea Race

The army only numbered slightly over a thousand, but the minimum level of the soldiers was in the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. Furthermore, there was only a single vehicle—a carriage pulled by two seahorses. Ancient patterns decorated the walls of the carriage, and there were also a great many holes that had been created from being pierced by weapons. However, they did not affect the grandeur of this carriage, but rather made it look even more aged and majestic.
When Ling Han’s eyes turned in that direction, his mind suddenly blanked out. He could only see a gigantic hand appear out of thin air which aimed to grab him.
This humongous hand was really too terrifying. It was as if even if the sky itself collapsed, this colossal hand would be able to support it with a mere lift. But upon close examination, this was actually a female’s hand, the skin as smooth and fair as snow, close to perfection.
Too powerful!
Ling Han did not have a second thought. He directly took Hu Niu and ducked into the Black Tower, his heart throbbing wildly. Though it was only a single instant, that had been the most dangerous instant he had experienced in this lifetime.
If he had been the slightest bit slower, he would definitely have been grabbed by that gigantic hand, and would definitely not have a chance of entering into the Black Tower.
A high-level Heaven Tier, or perhaps even… Shattering Void Tier!
Ling Han shook his head. He was not able to deduce that person’s true power at all. He merely had a sliver of divine sense left over from the Heaven Tier—perhaps he could still see through the cultivation level of a normal Heaven Tier cultivator, but in the case of a high-level Heaven Tier cultivator, they would be a complete mystery even to him.
Moreover, there were actually Shattering Void Tier cultivators amongst the Sea Race.
However, he could confirm one fact, and that was that the elite cultivator inside the carriage could not possibly be Xuan Kong Yun—he was merely in the Deity Transformation Tier.
“En?” An exclamation of surprise arose from within the carriage.
“Mistress, is there something wrong?” a warrior from the Sea Race immediately asked.
“There’s a very interesting troublemaker!” the person inside the carriage replied. Her voice was seductive, as if it possessed an endless entrancing ability.
The gaze of that warrior of the Sea Race fluctuated as if he wanted to seek out the troublemaker the Princess, Her Highness, had mentioned, but how could he possibly discover the existence of the Black Tower? Thus, he was naturally unsuccessful.
“He teleported,” the person in the carriage said, but then mumbled softly to herself, “Had he really teleported? I don’t recall feeling any s.h.i.+fting of s.p.a.ce! But if it wasn’t teleportation, then how could he have possibly vanished all of a sudden?”
The wheels of the carriage rolled, and this army continued its advance towards the Imperial City.
It was only when this huge army had completely disappeared from sight that Ling Han and Hu Niu emerged back out of the Black Tower.
“Scared Niu to death; that woman is very powerful!” Hu Niu exclaimed, patting her chest in relief.
Ling Han nodded. This was one of the greatest people of the Sea Race, strong to an inconceivable level. Could it be that Na Zhi Yan left behind some loose ends? Otherwise, after he had cursed Xuan Kong Yun to death, this whole matter should have ended, so how could it be that a whole army of Sea Race would appear now—and with them, an inconceivably powerful woman?
An ultimate cultivator that might be a high-level Heaven Tier cultivator, or perhaps even in the Shattering Void Tier; if she chose to do as she liked in a place like the north region, who could stand in her way?
Ling Han drew Na Zhi Yan out, and narrated to him what had happened previously. Then, he asked, “Who is that woman? Also, whom else did you speak to about this matter?”
Na Zhi Yan was almost on the brink of tears. How could he dare to reveal this kind of secret to anyone? If it was known to the Sea Race that he was involved in Xuan Kong Yun’s death by curse, then wouldn’t he be torn to pieces? He answered in a trembling voice, “That, that person should be the Seventh Princess of the Royal Clan, Lady Helian Xun Xue.”
“What cultivation level is she at?” Ling Han questioned.
“Apparently, the Heaven Tier.” Na Zhi Yan gave it some thought, then said with a note of certainty, “She should be in the Heaven Tier. The Seventh Princess is the most prodigious genius of the Helian Royal Clan, but has not yet advanced into the Shattering Void Tier.”
Ling Han had heard him talk about it before. There was a total of three Great Royal Clans in the Northern Sea. They were Helian, Xianyu, and Wenren. All three had an ultimate cultivator of the Shattering Void Tier in their ranks, and they were equivalent to a great sect from the middle state in terms of power.
Even if Helian Xun Xue was not in the Shattering Void Tier and was only in the Heaven Tier, she would be more than adequate to sweep aside all resistance in the north region. Furthermore, Ling Han felt that she was far stronger than he had been in his last life. As for the question of whether she was on par with the Sword Emperor and the others, this was not so easily gauged. That was because he had not even seen her face-to-face.
