Chapter 585 - The Sword Daoist’s Fury, the Holy Light Religion’s Maiden Sage

Chapter 585: The Sword Daoist’s Fury, the Holy Light Religion’s Maiden Sage

Princess Chi Lian looked at the Sword Daoist. There was a hint of fear in her eyes.

She could sense an incredibly powerful aura from the Sword Daoist, which made someone like her feel threatened.

The person standing before her was extremely strong.

“It seems like you’ve obtained quite a few Opportunities of Fortune in the Forbidden Barren Wasteland, Sword Daoist.”

Princess Chi Lian chuckled.

Upon hearing that, the Sword Daoist replied indifferently, “Cut the nonsense and tell me. Why did you two call me here?”

“You…”

Princess Chi Lian got a bit frustrated. However, because the Sword Daoist was currently stronger than her, she could only hold back her anger.

She then took a deep breath and said, “It has something to do with Chu Kuangren.”

‘Chu Kuangren?’

The Sword Daoist’s eyes turned cold at the mere mention of that name. “You two have come to look for me because of him? What does that mean?”

“Sword Daoist, I know you’re quite powerful, but let me ask you. Are you confident that you’ll win against Chu Kuangren in battle?”

Li Celong asked.

“Hmph, if I meet him again, I will let him know with this sword that I’m the strongest in Sword Dao!”

“Oh, It seems you’re quite confident in your abilities. Since that’s the case, why don’t I tell you something unfortunate? Leng Ningyu and Chu Kuangren are together.”

Li Celong said.

“What did you just say?” The Sword Daoist’s face turned grim.

“Leng Ningyu and Chu Kuangren are together. Not only that, but their relationship is very intimate!”

“What the f*ck!!”

At that, the Sword Daoist’s expression changed drastically. He was so furious that countless streaks of sword qi flew out from his body!

In an instant, his sword qi slashed the surrounding area with sword marks.

Li Celong and Princess Chi Lian had to endure the full brunt of his terrifying aura.

They were extremely shocked as they did not expect the Sword Daoist’s power to improve so much. However, Li Celong was delighted at the same time.

That was because, to him, they had a higher chance of defeating Chu Kuangren if the Sword Daoist was stronger.

“Chu Kuangren!!”

The Sword Daoist roared as his eyes became red with rage.

“Please calm down, Sword Daoist. Like you, I also possess a deep hatred towards Chu Kuangren. That’s why I’ve come to ask for your cooperation to defeat Chu Kuangren.”

The Sword Daoist took a deep breath and gradually regained his composure.

He knew that Li Celong was also once a suitor of Leng Ningyu like him, so he should hate Chu Kuangren just as much too.

‘The enemy of my enemy is a friend.’

That was why the Sword Daoist did not refuse his offer. “Alright. In that case, let’s go to the Ancient Lavish Cave together. Chu Kuangren might be heading there as well.”

…

A fierce battle broke out somewhere in a certain forest.

It was a battle between a silver-haired woman and a wild beast with two heads that looked like a giant tiger.

Both sides were in a heated battle as the surrounding mountains were destroyed from the fight.

“Roar!”

Both heads of the wild beast roared, and the spiritual power contained within its sound waves forced the woman back.

The silver-haired woman stood proudly in the air. She was wearing gorgeous silver armor with runes swirling all over it, making her look extremely mysterious. Her silver hair swayed in the heat of battle while her beautiful face exuded a rare heroic demeanor. A surge of Holy aura was emanating from her body, giving her the appearance of a valkyrie.

“Judgement of Light!”

Large amounts of holy energy gathered in the palm of the silver-haired woman, forming a white spear. She then let out a low cry and launched it towards her opponent.

With the speed of lightning, the long spear brutally pierced into the wild beast’s skull.

Following that, the spear exploded and instantly shattered the wild beast’s head with surges of holy energy. As a result of the explosion, large amounts of white flames spread everywhere and burned the wild beast’s body.

The white flames were incredibly terrifying and hard to extinguish. No matter how the wild beast tumbled around, it could not put it out. The only thing it could do was wail in pain.

Somewhere nearby.

Some of the cultivators in white robes were watching the battle with amazement.

“She’s too powerful. I can’t believe the Maiden Sage has mastered the Holy Divine Fire Art to such an extent.”

“That’s right. This Holy Supreme Physique of hers is indeed the most suitable for this technique.”

“The Maiden Sage descending upon our religion must be the work of our Holy God.”

The cultivators chatted.

Within that crowd, someone was looking at that silver-white figure with a complicated expression.

It was a young man.

He looked at the silver-white figure with a chilling hatred and deep jealousy in his eyes. However, they were mixed with a conflicting hint of admiration too.

At this time, someone placed his hand on the young man’s shoulders.

It was an elderly man among the crowd. He told the young man. “Just bear with it for a few more days, Bachelor Sage. All of this will soon be yours when the time comes.”

“I understand, elder.”

Boom!

Another spear was launched again with great might. Finally, that two-headed wild beast could no longer fight the silver-haired woman anymore and was eventually killed.

After all that, the woman walked up to the wild beast and dug out a piece of crystal from its corpse. That was the wild beast’s Spiritual Power Crystal. It was an item that was akin to a cultivator’s golden core. Normally, an item like this was worthless to human warriors.

That was because the spiritual power in the wild beast’s Spiritual Power Crystal was just too unstable and violent for human cultivators to absorb.

However, as soon as that woman grabbed the crystal, white flames appeared on her palms.

A moment later, the violent aura of the Spiritual Power Crystal gradually disappeared.

The technique she used was very unique. It had enabled her to purify the violent aura from the Spiritual Power Crystal, making it easier to absorb.

“It appears that you’ve gotten stronger, Maiden Sage.”

The crowd of white-robed cultivators came before her, and one of the elders among them said as he laughed.

The silver-haired woman nodded indifferently. “Third Elder, are there any more Opportunities of Fortune in the Forbidden Barren Wasteland?”

“Not far from here, there’s a place called the Ancient Lavish Cave. That place has great Opportunities of Fortune. We can go there and try to get our hands on some, but that place is bound to be a great gathering spot for sky-prides. By then, a great battle will be inevitable,” the Third Elder said.

“The main reason we’ve come to this Forbidden Wasteland is for the Opportunities of Fortune. What’s the point of coming here if you’re scared of being caught in a battle?”

“Ha! The Maiden Sage is right. Besides, with her current strength, even I might not be a match for her in battle, let alone the other sky-prides. I believe you’ll be the one who gets the most loot at the Ancient Lavish Cave, Maiden Sage.” The young man walked towards her and said with a smile.

His words greatly boosted the morale of the other cultivators.

“Our Bachelor Sage is already an outlawed sky-pride. If he says that too, then it’s clear that our Maiden Sage is incredibly powerful.”

“That’s right, our Maiden Sage will definitely get the most Opportunities of Fortune this time. We shall let the world know the might of our Holy Light Religion.”

Despite the countless compliments from everyone around her, the silver-haired woman was not happy at all. Instead, she gazed into the distance and muttered, “I wonder if Master has come to the Forbidden Barren Wasteland too. If so, I wonder if I’ll meet him at the Ancient Lavish Cave.”

The young Bachelor Sage frowned a little when he heard the silver-haired woman’s murmur.

That was not the first time he had heard of her mentioning her Master.

Yet no matter how he asked, she had refused to tell him anything about that person.

“Who is that ‘Master’ person you’re talking about in such an obsessive manner?”

There was a hint of jealousy in the young Bachelor Sage’s eyes.

However, he managed to hide it well. A second later, a bright and gentle smile had reappeared on his face.
