Chapter 1302 - 561: Revisiting Old Haunts (2)
The cultivator in official attire at the late stage of the sixth layer, initially looked at Lin Xuankong and his group with a face full of wariness. When he heard Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er speak, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.At this moment,
two figures swiftly approached from the inner part of the grand residence, landing near the main gate.
One wore a City Lord Python Robe of the Great Xia Dynasty, while the other was adorned in distinctly different, vibrant and luxurious attire, presumably that envoy from the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The cultivator in the City Lord Python Robe glanced over the situation in front of him, then dismissed the officials preparing to attack Lin Xuankong and the others, saying:
"Friends, you seem unfamiliar. May I ask where you come from and which sect you belong to?"
Lin Xuankong had not yet spoken because Young Lady Li Xiaolan, feeling somewhat liberated upon returning to her old haunts, smiled at him, "What sect? You lack manners, asking others without first introducing yourself. But I won’t hold it against small people; I don’t mind telling you. We are cultivators from the Yin Talisman Sect!"
Lin Xuankong was speechless after hearing this.
But he couldn’t refute Young Lady Li Xiaolan, after all, he had indeed joined the Yin Talisman Sect!
However, the Yin Talisman Sect... was certainly a long-lost memory, although Little Hu and the others around him, including himself, had their foundation in the Immortal Path of the Yin Talisman Sect, it had been over ten thousand years since he last heard those three words!
As thoughts whirled in Lin Xuankong’s mind,
the cultivator in the City Lord Python Robe paused, staring at Lin Xuankong, Young Lady Li Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er, each in disbelief.
Not far away, the official at the late stage of the sixth layer scowled, saying, "Nonsense! Where in the Great Xia is there a Yin Talisman Sect! I, Li Yuan, having cultivated for decades, know all the sects within the Great Xia like the back of my hand. Even those in other dynasties like the Rakshasa Kingdom, I have heard of, but never a Yin Talisman Sect!"
The Rakshasa Kingdom envoy in lavish attire also frowned, shaking his head:
"Within the Great Xia Dynasty and surrounding Seven Kingdoms, all sects are recorded by the dynasty’s martial department; none are named Yin Talisman Sect!
If you dare disrupt here at the Divine Communication Demon King’s presence, why not reveal your sect? If you haven’t come to cause trouble and intend to listen to the esteemed Divine Communication Demon King, step back and listen quietly. Do not spout nonsense!"
The cultivating audience observing the scene couldn’t help but call out,
"Who are these cultivators who dare not even name their sect!"
"Humph, their hiding skills are astounding, but in the end, they are cowards, daring to cause trouble but not bold enough to announce their sect!"
"In the Great Marsh Prefecture’s thirty-six sects, there’s no such thing as Yin Talisman Sect!"
"I say these sneaky individuals can’t be good people; what are they thinking, daring to stir trouble at the revered Divine Communication Demon King’s residence! Even our Great Xia Dynasty’s Emperor Xiaoo comes annually to pay respects to the esteemed Demon King!"
"These women certainly are stunning. I’ve traveled the world and seen beauties aplenty, but none as exquisite as these! What a pity they seem not to be good people!"
"Hahaha, Old Wang, you have a keen eye, but remember, the prettier a woman, the more dangerous she is!"
"Dangerous? I think those who will face danger today are these fools who know not the limits of heaven and earth. Daring to cause a commotion before the revered Demon King, even a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand lives would not suffice for such recklessness!"
For a time,
on the street before the Divine Communication Demon King’s residence, endless discussions erupted among the cultivators,
Everyone had come to the Demon King’s residence to hear him speak of the mysteries of cultivation, naturally displeased with Lin Xuankong and his group’s disturbance, all glaring fiercely, ready to act if not for the officials maintaining order!
Amidst the chatter,
the man in the Python Robe, clearly a City Lord, had his face shifting colors continually. Finally, his gaze landed on Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s face, and he suddenly trembled slightly.
After several breaths, Great Marsh Prefecture’s City Lord Jiang finally controlled his shock, stepped forward, approached Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er, and knelt down, loudly proclaiming, "Jiang Lingyun, the thirty-second disciple of the Profound Talisman Celestial Sect, current City Lord of Great Marsh Prefecture, bows to the Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady!"
Calling out, he lowered his head, trembling, and remained prostrate, face to the ground, not daring to move.
Seeing this display, the peerless beauty on Xiao Ying’Er’s face appeared bewildered,
but beside her, Young Lady Li Xiaolan couldn’t help but laugh, pulling Xiaoo Ying’Er’s hand, and said, "Wow, is this your title, Third Sister? So grand and imposing, the Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady, sounds more formidable than Lin Xuankong’s so-called number one title!"
Rendered speechless by Li Xiaolan’s jests, Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er shook her head and said:
"Jiang Lingyun, you must have made a mistake, I’m no Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady!"
The Great Marsh Prefecture’s City Lord Jiang Lingyun, still prostrate, spoke repeatedly, "I am certain there’s no mistake, absolutely no mistake, you must be Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady!"
Witnessing the high-ranking City Lord Jiang Lingyun in such a state, the Rakshasa Kingdom envoy, who had recently scolded Lin Xuankong and others, wore a face of surprise and doubt.
As an envoy stationed in the Great Xia Dynasty, he had studied its history thoroughly and was well-acquainted with its tales.
Thus, he knew well who the Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady was!
Looking at the kneeling City Lord Jiang Lingyun and then at Third Lady Xiaoo Ying’Er, his heart was filled with astonishment. The Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady... was a legendary figure from more than ten thousand years ago, an unparalleled talent, whose presence helped the Great Xia Dynasty ascend to prominence, reigning over surrounding nations gloriously for over ten thousand years!
But wasn’t this Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady supposed to have ascended to the Immortal Realm, taking with her the twelfth Emperor Xiaoo and the Empress back then? Why would such an immortal figure suddenly appear in the Great Marsh Prefecture? Did City Lord Jiang Lingyun truly not mistake?
As these thoughts spun, the Rakshasa Kingdom envoy’s heart turned cold at the thought of having chastised Lin Xuankong and Xiaoo Ying’Er mere moments ago!
If this youthful-looking woman was indeed the Great Virtue and Clarity True Body Daoist Golden Heaven Venerable Three Saints Lady as Jiang Lingyun claimed, then today he was surely doomed! No, she must not be that esteemed figure!
