Chapter 686: A Sudden Turnaround (1/2)
This was nothing new to our bored gamer at all. If he was a mere body forging realm cultivator at this time then he would have no doubt paid homage just like the rest.
Luckily enough, Clark was already much more capable than the strongest person in the sect.
Thus, he could afford to enjoy some of the special perks of having the biggest and baddest weapon in the room.
”Bu Fang! Stand up quickly!” The same kind elder beside our good gamer warned in a concerned voice.
This elder did not want to see any accident especially unto someone who was obviously brimming with talent like our very own protagonist.
Alas, a few did not share the same anxiety of this good elder. These people want to see our avid gamer crippled instead because of his extreme arrogance.
'You fool! If you die tonight, I'll definitely take good care of your woman for you. HAHAHA!' Wu Chen has these evil thoughts inside.
Unfortunately, his inner laugh stopped abruptly in the next thing that he heard.
”All of you are polite. Please... sit down.” The older female waved her hand to motion everyone to rest.
'What the hell?! Is this boy Bu Fang really the sect master's son or something?!' Many had these thoughts but they kept their shocked thoughts to themselves. They sat down as ordered.
”TAP!”
”TAP!”
”TAP!” The sect master and the one they call Lady Quan Yan walked closer to the main table and this was when the older of the two tried to peer into our bored gamer's depths.
'This boy is really as intriguing as Ren Zemin told me.'
'But I wonder if her fears are real enough to invite caution.' Lady Quan Yan mused inside. She was of course none other than the ancestor of the Profound Delight Sect.
One that has already lived for more than 2,000 years today. In her estimation, she will not last 100 years more into the future.
One should know that a Dao Soul Realm has a longevity of 1,000 years only. Lady Quan Yan only lasted this long through the use of life prolonging pills.
Alas, those rare pills and panacea had long ago stopped its effectiveness on her.
This was the reason why she could only take a dreamless sleep in isolation in order to preserve her remaining lifespan. But this practice was not bereft of difficulties at all.
Any cultivator that wished to cheat death in this way would feel a constant burning sensation in their souls. It was no different than suffering in hellish torture while still alive in this world.
Ancestors who chose to safeguard their respective sects in this way were truly admirable!
”DING!” Lady Quan Yan's vision converged unto our bored gamer. Her steps did not halt but the same could not be said to what was happening inside her thoughts.
She used her spiritual sense and glimpsed an unforgettable image before everything in her world crumbled into the extreme agony of torture.
”NOOOOOOOOO!” Lady Quan Yan screamed inside but no one heard her pain. Her body was still walking calmly on the outside but the soul within was already on the brink of collapse.
Another breath more and she calculated that she would have to perish right then and there.
Fortunately enough, the myriad tortures stopped in time and then she was the captain of her ship once more.
”HAK!”
”HAK!”
”HAK!” Lady Quan Yan coughed a couple steps from the main table and she puked a black odorless liquid thereafter.
This unknown liquid melted the floor instantly which created an ugly mess in this place of celebration.
”Lady Quan Yan!”
