Chapter 403: Holy Girl of the Star Demon Sect (1/2)

“How dare you!” snarled the old man in cyan when Wanfeng called him an enemy agent and came at him with the bamboo stick. “This seat is an arcane immortal and an enforcer of the Sovereign Meet. It would be one thing if your master were here in person, but a little junior like you will not talk with such disrespect! This seat will teach you a lesson in your master’s stead, young woman. You will learn to respect your elders and superiors!”

He grabbed unceremoniously at the bamboo stick.

“Ha!” Wanfeng scoffed, emerald radiance flaring out of her eyes. Her bamboo stick dodged the old man’s hand like it’d come to life, and snaked around to hit him squarely on the forehead.

Whack!

The arcane immortal howled in pain, his cultivation instantly repressed to the nothing of a mortal’s, leaving him lightheaded.

“Teach me a lesson in my master’s stead? No one other than milord is in any place to do that!” Wanfeng took swing after swing at the peerless immortal with her bamboo stick.

The stick contained a special power that suppressed one’s ability to fight back. Even being a mighty arcane immortal didn’t afford him any breathing space from the weapon. Round and round he stumbled, reeling from the blows of the bamboo stick under everyone’s shocked gaze.

You can do that to an arcane immortal?

The old man was one of the enforcers of the Sovereign Meet and had a duty to maintain order in the event. However, he was receiving a thorough beating right before the event commenced!

Enthusiasm for the Sovereign Meet suddenly dwindled greatly as the event abruptly lost a lot of shine. If it weren’t for the great rewards, many would’ve considered pulling out.

“The Sovereign Meet is holy, and the lord enforcer’s authority should be honored. How dare you commit such disrespect?! Monster spirits, join me in taking this cretin down!” The declaration came from the Silvermoon Wolfking, who was now leading the monster spirits in a charge toward Wanfeng.

Close to a hundred monster spirits followed after it and attacked with various combat arts and treasures, kaleidoscopic scintillation flashing from their bodies.

“You won’t hurt my senior sister!” The girl in a black dress who Wanfeng had been shielding sneered and stepped out of Wanfeng’s shadow, her hands forming a seal.

There was a gust of wind, and then...

“Dastardly monster spirits, how dare you throw your weight around like this in human territory? Do you think we humans will just roll over and take it? We kill!!” A few human cultivators lunged at the monster spirits with bloodshot eyes.

“Come back here, junior brother!”

“Senior brother, what’s with you?”

Their brethren’s abrupt charge caught some other cultivators by surprise. A beat behind, they hurriedly ran after their suddenly crazed companions.

Conflict started anew. Humans and monster spirits were dragged into another chaotic brawl, shattering the short-lived truce. The goal of the monster spirits was clear: the human void realm cultivator must not be allowed to reach maturity.

……

“Your little lover is in danger.”

Lu Yun and Qing Han were staying out of the chaotic melee. Although the girl in the black dress possessed a powerful entrancement art, it wasn’t enough to influence the two.

“Jealous?” Lu Yun turned to Qing Han and grinned merrily.

Qing Han didn’t dignify that with a response. Fine, fine, he somehow knows already. Can’t he just, well, pretend not to know?

“Don’t worry, Wanfeng will be fine. The treasure in her hand is enough to sweep away every opponent.” Lu Yun stroked his chin and whispered into Qing Han’s ear, “On the other hand, if we expose our identities, we’ll probably be taken out immediately. There’s more than one dao immortal observing everything here, waiting for us two to show up.”
