Chapter 210 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 26 (1/2)

In the end, since she figured she couldn’t just blow them up, she ventured out and disturbed a snakes’ den and baited them over to the wolves’ lair.

The battle between the two species was quite a sight to behold.

Both types of magic beasts gathered together in groups, and both were carnivorous beasts. Their close proximity increased the likelihood that they’d fought over territory and food before.

This time, their battle was a spectacular scene. Both the Wolf King and Snake King weren’t too fond of each other. But the Snake King was slightly stronger than the Wolf King, so Snake King won the battle in the end.

The Wolf King didn’t want to die, so he offered Qin Langyue as a concession to the Snake King in exchange for sparing him.

Snakes were lustful creatures by nature, but they rarely had the opportunity to see female humans in Sunset Forest. As a result, when the Wolf King presented his proposal, the Snake King gave a brief show of pondering over it before ‘reluctantly’ accepting.

And thus, Qin Langyue was quickly traded to the Snake King.

Perhaps because Shi Sheng had altered the script so drastically and quickly, Qin Langyue’s cheats just couldn’t keep up. She didn’t even have a chance to resist before she was dragged back to Snake King’s den for a couple of rounds of doing the deed.

Shi Sheng was totally unaware of all this, as she had left as soon as she’d successfully lured the snakes over. ‘The FL won’t die anyways, no point in watching…’

……

The rare treasure that would soon ripen… er, mature was first discovered by the imperial clan faction.

Since they had some transmission jades on them, the news was circulated to all the major clans and powers almost instantly.

As every faction made a beeline to the treasure’s location, the already chaotic Sunset Forest developed into absolute pandemonium.

Shi Sheng followed the main group to the ‘place of interest’, where she discovered that not only were there many humans, there were also all sorts of magical beasts present.

The two sides were separated by a lake, each side staring at the other.

In the middle of the lake, there was a flower that resembled a lotus, except that its petals were seven-coloured.

Yep, that’s right, it was seven-coloured. Just like the Seven-coloured Flower of legend[1].

‘I wonder if a petal can really grant a wish?’

Although this seven-coloured flower looked like it hadn’t bloomed yet, everyone present could feel that the spirit energy in the air was of a higher density.

Shi Sheng searched through Shen Yaoguang’s memories but didn’t find anything that matched, so she searched through the setting instead, and managed to find the name of this plant.

Rainbow Lotus.

It was still a lotus, only coloured differently. However, it’s grade was several hundred times higher than that of any normal lotus. Rainbow Lotuses bloomed once every thousand years and only bore fruit a thousand years after that.

It was said that the fruit itself held the power of resurrection.

Meanwhile, the petals were said to have the effect of increasing one’s cultivation. Just a single petal was enough for a Spirit Sage tobreakthrough into the Spirit Saint realm.

The number of Spirit Saints in the Nine Provinces could be counted using both of one’s hands.

It was said that an expert of the Spirit Saint realm was able to turn a city into ash with a mere wave of their hand.

Basically, they were awesome.

If a Spirit Saint were to be born from a clan, that clan would almost immediately be elevated to the status of one of the most powerful powers in the Nine Provinces.

With this kind of temptation right in front of them, the number of people who wanted to obtain the Rainbow Lotus was enough to circle the entirety of the Nine Provinces several times over.

Shi Sheng simply found a good spot for spectating and sat down to wait for the inevitable catfight between humans and beasts.

While they were waiting for the Rainbow Lotus to bloom, the humans seemed to have formed an alliance with the imperial family and major great clans at the forefront. The rest of the powers that didn’t join them found their own alliances to join.

“Nine Silences Hall is here.”

“Nine Silences Hall… How come they’re here…”

Shi Sheng turned to look at where all the others were facing and just so happened to see the Sentinel leading Nine Silences Hall’s disciples over. Bu Jingyun was nowhere to be seen.

Not seeing Bu Jingyun amidst the crowd, Shi Sheng retracted her gaze. ‘His injuries probably haven’t healed yet. Makes sense he isn’t here.’

Nine Silences Hall very overbearingly took over the best spot by the lake.

‘Don’t like it? Come up and fight then! The strongest calls the shots!’
