113 The Goddess Celestial Alice (1/2)
The Erudite Sect was a minor celestial clan in the Celestial Realm and on numerous times, was on the verge of destruction. In order to survive in the harsh realities of the Celestial Realm, it was forced eventually to become a dark celestial clan.
Lady Snowflake was the present protégé mistress of the Erudite Sect. She was also the high priestess of the Erudite Sect. The Erudite Sect was forbidden to men and their protégés were priestesses of the Goddess Theocracy, a mysterious religion that was dedicated to the Goddess Celestial Alice of the Ninth Heavens. It was a secret celestial religion that most celestials would never have heard of or known.
This must be the most peaceful year that Lady Snowflake had seen in decades. It was because the rise of the Holy Ascension Sect had force many of the warring celestial clans to come to a truce and to unite against a common enemy, with each celestial clan trying to preserve as much strength as possible.
She was sitting in her throne room and was scantily dressed as she said nonchalantly to her protégés, numbering a dozen. ”We need the mines to be functional as quickly as possible. We do need to find as much precious metals as possible to bribe the other powerful celestial clans. Or else our mountains won't be our mountains and our clan won't be our clan pretty soon.”
Maiden Ziyue, a golden celestial and who was also her next successor immediately said solemnly. ”The miners are working round the clock to clear the collapse mine. Precious metals and celestium rocks are really too rare. I am afraid that our mountains have already been depleted of such precious resources…”
Lady Snowflake hummed coldly, ”Then so will be our clan! How do you expect me to be answerable to the past protégé mistress before me? Ziyue, you are the next Erudite Lady. You have to see the wider picture. Give the orders to double the manpower and push to clear the mines within this week. Is that understood?”
Maiden Ziyue sighed softly, ”Yes, my protégé mistress…”
”When has the Erudite Sect becomes such a pathetic clan?” A veiled maiden with a three pink petals on her forehead and carrying a white long sword had walked quietly into the hall.
She walked elegantly to them and was extremely composed. There was no doubt about it that she was extremely confident of herself!
Lady Snowflake, Maiden Ziyue and all the other protégés had suddenly turned ashen. It was because there was an intruder in the hall and yet none of them was aware of it until now!
There was no doubt that she was a highly skilled and highly attained celestial practitioner for her to mask her presence so discreetly!
Lady Snowflake managed a weak smile, ”Since you have heard us, you must have overheard that we are quite poor now. May we know your clan of origin and your celestial name so that we can pay our dearest homage to you?”

The mysterious veiled maiden pondered coldly, ”Who am I? Maybe that is not as important as asking who you are first?”
Lady Snowflake smiled weakly, ”Since you are already here. Surely you must have already known who I am. Is there a need for me to introduce myself?”
The mysterious veiled maiden said, ”I really do not know. Just who are you?”
Not only Lady Snowflake was smiling bitterly, all her protégés were also smiling bitterly.
Maiden Ziyue and all her fellow protégés had all drawn their long swords as they shouted to her, ”How insolent can you be! We may be a small clan but we won't be cowed by you! Protégé sisters, let teach her a lesson…”
But before she could finish, the mysterious veiled maiden was in front of her, seized her long sword, given her a tight slap in a blink of an eye and had floored her to the ground!
Maiden Ziyue was dumbfounded!
Her movements were simply too astonishing!
Actually her martial skills were not weak and she was a golden celestial. Speed attacks and fast movements were not effective on a golden celestial like her. Only martial power and strength actually counts. But today, she had actually been surprised by such an astonishing speed that she could not even see or sense!
Lady Snowflake smiled bitterly, ”I am Lady Snowflake. Just who are you?”
All of a sudden, she gathered her robe and said coldly. ”However, this is my sacred abode and the forbidden ground of the past patriarchs of the Erudite Sect. I won't let you disturb their rest even if it cost me my life.”
The mysterious veiled maiden said coldly, ”Maybe on account of that, I will be lenient towards you. On your knees and bow to me.”
Lady Snowflake and Maiden Ziyue hummed coldly at the same time, ”No way!”
Lady Snowflake said coldly, ”We have our pride and integrity…”
The mysterious veiled maiden interrupted coldly, ”From now onwards, I will take charge of here and I will be your new protégé mistress.”
Lady Snowflake said aloud, ”Take her out!”
Immediately, all her protégés brandished their long swords towards her!
The mysterious veiled maiden brandished her long sword! Immediately there was a thunderous shockwave that rippled throughout the entire hall as she thrust her sword into the ground!
The imploding shockwaves rippled and floored everyone to the ground with serious internal injuries!
Lady Snowflake coughed out blood as she looked at the mysterious veiled maiden with stunned expression, ”This is our Erudite Impact Technique. This is even more refine and powerful than mine. How dare you steal and learn our secret technique!”
The mysterious veiled maiden said coldly as she unveiled herself, ”Look closely who I am.”
Lady Snowflake was stunned at her exquisite beauty. This maiden was indeed very beautiful and gave everyone the impression that she was an unearthly maiden. But there was something really familiar about her that she could not remember right away!
