Chapter 221 (1/2)
Outside of Five Poisons Mountain, on a nameless peak.
A woman with a blue and white long skirt gently swaying where she stood currently looked at the far off Poison Mountain enveloped in toxic gas. Her clear, lake water-like pupils made others unable to fathom her.
”Elder Sister Qingci, could it be you still want to go to Five Poisons Mountain with designs on that Ten Thousand Year Gu?” Behind her, a girl with green hair leaning a wooden staff on her shoulder giggled.1
”Jingzhi,2 that Ten Thousand Year Gu actually is a pretty good creature.” Qingci slightly smiled.
”So long as Elder Sister desires it, Longkui shall go help Elder Sister seize it.” Another tall-built, dark-skinned woman spoke.
Hearing her words, Living Goddess of Lightning Wang Jingzhi twitched her lips, muttering: ”Truly a metal bull, nothing but violence and murder. Five Poisons Mountain has the Five Poisons Forbiddance, it is simply impossible to go there.”
Longkui did not pay her any attention and treated Wang Jingzhi as air.
”Then we wait until the Five Poisons Mountain's forbiddance break, and then we go.” Qingci's face still hung a relaxed smile, as before.
Inferior Star Living Goddess of Lightning heard an inconceivable thing: ”How will it break?”
”Right now, the Azure Dragon Territory's cultivators should already have passed the Five Poisons and have encountered that Golden Crow of the White Tiger Territory. The forbiddance will soon break. At that time, we will board the Astral Treasure and go.” Qingci seemed to be speaking of something to be expected, but in Wang Jingzhi's ears, this sounded unbelievable. The Azure Dragon Territory's cultivators were assaulting Five Poisons Mountain, something that Wang Jingzhi had not heard of.
”How are you this certain?”
”Who would not want the Ten Thousand Year Gu.” What Qingci understood clearly was even more profound than what Wang Jingzhi was able to, and she also knew many of Falling Dragon Mountain's secrets.
Wang Jingzhi seemed to understand yet also not. In the end, she no longer felt like thinking, ”In any case, find a solution yourself, Sister Qingci. If you are to go to Five Poisons Mountain, This Young Woman certainly will not accompany you.”
Qingci smiled.
…
”A-ha!”
Of all people, a scholarly youth gazed at the Divine Fire and jade light a thousand meters away, showing slight surprise.
“Never expected Supervoid Cultivators to be this incredible. Just in battle alone, a Galaxy Cultivator could never draw near.” The youth twitched his lips, carrying a green net. If Enviless of the East were present, he would definitely be shocked because this youth was none other than the one that had been ”killed” by his slap, Xie Chang'an. However, at this time, Xie Chang'an was alive and well, full of vigor, not at all like a man that had been killed.
”That oaf Enviless of the East definitely would not have thought that Five Poisons Mountant unexpectedly would have other Supervoid Cultivator besides the Roc Demon King.” Xie Chang'an chuckled. His tone had an indescribable resentfulness. Previously, when Enviless of the East suddenly struck him, if it was not for his previously swallowing a Nine Turns Life Replenishing Pill3 to enter a state of fake death, that slap honestly would have been the death of him.
If word got out that a Star Master that had contracted a Five Tiger General had been killed by a smack, that honestly would be the world's best joke.
”This Highness next time will avenge this slap!” Xie Chang'an snorted, brimming with a sort of disdain for Supervoid Cultivators.
A figure emerged from his side.
A woman wearing armor appeared, with a cloud bun and the beauty of a flower. Her eyes had were very dignified, seemingly a naturally occuring sort of general's might that made other unable to but acknowledge their allegiance.
”Chang'an, do not speak any more nonsense. Wu Song and her Star Master already have infiltrated the Jade Alum Palace. By the time the Supervoid Cultivators finish fighting we will not have a chance. If you wish to take revenge, do so afterwards!” The woman was dignified and strict, and her tone had a sort of resolution that could not be resisted.
The relationship between a Star Master and Star General was usually that of a master and servant, but this woman nevertheless inverted things, being arrogant and bossy towards her Star Master.
