Chapter 879: Gathering Talismans (1/2)

Three prodigies watched the battle from a distance.

“Ninth Brother, I want to fight that half-demon.” Thirteenth Master Gu’s battle spirit surged.

Feiyun was only a first-level Nirvana and managed to kill four cultivators at the same level as him or higher. Thirteenth Master Gu was a battle maniac so he wanted to give it a shot.

“What’s the point? Just a first-level half-demon.” Ninth Master Gu chuckled: “They’re going towards the main branch of the half-demon alliance. I heard all the top half-demon geniuses are going there, it looks like the man is one of them, carefully groomed by the alliance.”

“I heard that half-demons are eligible to enter the battlefield this year, just very few in number. They want to earn respect by contributing there, what a joke. They have no idea how terrifying the battlefield is. Five hundred half-demons? They’ll be lucky if five can come back alive, let alone contribute anything.” Yu Shao snorted with disdain.

“They do have some decent characters though, like that one earlier. Eighth likes half-demon girls, right? Thirteenth, go back and tell him that all the top female half-demons will gather at this branch in Crimson, I’m sure he’ll be interested.”

“I will, I’m sure he’ll like that purple-haired girl just now, haha!” Thirteenth Master Gu laughed.

Ninth Master Gu and Yu Shao exchanged glances before smiling.

The eighth and ninth young master of the Gu were competing for the successor’s spot. Scheming against each other happened quite often.

***

Crimson Leaf, Profound Continent, an ancient city.

This city has been around for several million years. Legendary characters have left their marks here. Numerous timeworn clans have taken roots in this place.

Those capable of having a residence in the city were all big shots.

“Eighth Brother, I’m not here because of Ninth Brother, I’m telling the truth. I saw a half-demon at Ice Market the other day with a great figure and perfect skin with a pair of red wings. Can’t find a human girl like her. I heard all the top half-demons are gathering in Crimson Leaf right now, don’t miss it because who knows when the next event will be?

Eighth Master Gu was tall and muscular. He contemplated and said: “Is Ninth trying to test my ability or my courage?”

“This has nothing to do with Ninth Brother.” Thirteenth Master Gu laughed.

“Regardless of his involvement, I’ll go to their main branch tomorrow. If he thinks a few half-demons can cause trouble to me, he truly underestimates me.” Eighth Master Gu touched his jade ring and said before leaving.

“Eighth and Ninth Brother are too smart, there’s nothing they don’t know.” Thirteenth Master Gu rubbed his head, feeling that he was stupid in comparison.

Suddenly, purple smoke descended from above and condensed into the shape of a young noble holding a paper fan, looking like an immortal.

Thirteenth Master Gu saw the purple-robed young noble; his expression soured and wanted to run: ‘Why is she here, so goddamn unlucky today. She didn’t see me, she didn’t see me…’

“Thirteenth, why are you running so fast after seeing me? Do I bite?” The young noble walked coolly forward while waving her fan. Her features were exquisite just like an immaculate sculpture.

“Oh, I didn’t see you, Lady from the Territory Residence…” Thirteenth Master Gu stopped; his face looked as if he was at a funeral. He turned around and bowed towards the young noble.

“Shut up!” She touched his forehead with her paper fan. It pulsed brightly and resembled a sword.

“I, I meant to say Young Noble… What brings you here to Profound?” Thirteenth Master Gu got the urge to kneel on the ground. He was afraid of this person.

Not to mention him, even his Eighth and Ninth Brothers were afraid of her.

“It’s half a month from now till the ancient battlefield date. Tell Eighth and Ninth that if they don’t join my team this time, it won’t end well for them.” She traced her fan down his face before stopping at his neck.

“They have decided to join your team, Young Noble. They even convinced other prodigies from Immemorial City to join you, I’m sure they have no other plan.” Thirteen Master Gu nearly cried.

“Good, they’re smart then.” She smiled and pulled her paper fan back: “What did you talk to Eighth about earlier? I heard something about the half-demon alliance?”
