Chapter 434: White fox
Proofreader: Arya
Wan Er hurriedly went and opened the door.
The group of four came out.
The cultivator outside has already been waiting for a while.
He knew from the start that this will be tough work for no gain, so he didn’t dare to even turn back and hurriedly led the way.
After a while, they arrived at the highest location of the floating island.
There was an outdoor platform here.
Gu Qing Shan observed it.
A few dozen formations protected the platform.
There was nothing to obscure people’s vision around there.
This was a preventive measure.
If the “Xiong-Ji” talisman malfunctioned or the realm demon suddenly goes berserk, the people in charge would be able to escape first.
When running for your life, running even a second faster might bring drastic change in the outcome.
All of this was for the sake of preserving their lives.
A few people were already sitting on the platform.
An alluring mature woman wearing a moonlight white Chinese kimono.
A s.h.i.+rtless, masculine man whose blood essence was so thick it manifested as white mist around his body.
While sitting still, their spirit energy waves were already picking up wind, giving off an immense pressure.
They were Ning Yue Hall’s Hallmaster Ye Ying Mei and Xiang Ji Hall’s Hallmaster Zhao Wu Chui.
Two powerful Virtualized realm cultivators.
They both had young cultivators serving behind them.
The most eye-catching person there however, was a pure white fox.
The fox wore a female mask, sitting at the higher end of the platform.
The female mask was so animated it seemed real, smiling with a slight hint of wild provocation and allure.
Still below the platform, Gu Qing Shan stopped his feet.
He already knew the two Hallmasters, whereas it was his first time seeing this white fox.
Recalling the information Qing Rou and Wan Er provided him about this world, Gu Qing Shan was a bit alarmed.
Because he noticed a small pink flower at the forehead of the female mask the white fox was wearing.
According to what Qing Rou and Wan Er know, there was only a single person in this world who could bear that symbol.
The head of Rakshasa Peak, Rakshasa’s Daughter.
Every generation of Rakshasa’s Daughter must kill 7 female cultivators as well as 21 male cultivators who were stronger than themselves to have the right to attempt seeking Rakshasa’s heritage.
When the process begins, only one of two consequences will happen.
The first is that they gain Rakshasa’s recognition and inherit Rakshasa’s thaumaturgy, where a unique symbol will manifest between their eyebrows.
The second, being hated and discarded by Rakshasa, eaten by some powerful monster in the void of s.p.a.ce that happens to pa.s.s by.
Rakshasa, the G.o.d of evil.
Only one who inherits Rakshasa’s thaumaturgy will be recognized as Rakshasa’s Daughter. From then on even a Virtualized realm cultivator of the sect could only bow down as her subject.
And those who gained Rakshasa’s thaumaturgy will manifest some sort of unique symbol between their brows.
This represents the fact that this cultivator had gained Rakshasa’s favor.
As for what a Rakshasa’s thaumaturgy was, they were abilities not of this world.
Every few thousand years, the symbols on the new Rakshasa’s Daughter’s forehead were different, and the thaumaturgy they learned was also different.
But it was always an ability that has never appeared in the world before.
As the head of Rakshasa Peak, Rakshasa’s Daughters were powerful in both self and status, so for the last few ten thousands years, no one knew what thaumaturgy the new Rakshasa’s Daughter has.
This was top-secret even in Rakshasa Peak, only a select few knew about it.
So naturally Qing Rou and Wan Er would have no way to know how strong this Rakshasa’s Daughter was or what ability did she possess.
Such an unknown and mysterious person, no one would want as an enemy.
Since the white fox was wearing Rakshasa’s Daughter’s mask, it’s most likely that the white fox was Rakshasa’s Daughter’s pet spirit beast.
Which means today, Rakshasa’s Daughter was attending Guang Yang sect meeting as a guest!
This was even silently agreed upon by the top-bra.s.s of Guang Yang sect.
While Qing Rou and Wan Er lowered their eyes, their hearts were jumping.
Who would’ve thought Rakshasa’s Daughter would send her own spirit beast here to listen in on the sect meeting.
It just became much harder to not get found out.
Gu Qing Shan is still only an Ascended realm cultivator, what can they do now?
Thinking that, they couldn’t help but releasing a weak bit of inner sight to observe Gu Qing Shan.
Only to see Gu Qing Shan taking out a fan.
It was Qi Yan’s pictured fan.
Opening it, he casually fanned himself as he walked up the platform.
“Where’s the old man?”
Gu Qing Shan asked without a care while walking.
He was the only person in Guang Yang sect who dared to call Grand Elder Wand Hong Dao that.
“The Grand Elder isn’t here, we’re going to discuss a few urgent business, but what happened to your face?” Ye Ying Mei asked.
Rubbing his own face, Gu Qing Shan calmly answered: “Just a scratch wound, nothing to worry about”
Ye Ying Mei carefully observed the wounds on Gu Qing Shan’s face, feeling it a bit strange.
Just who is able to inflict such a wound on Qi Yan’s face?
But very quickly, Ye Ying Mei noticed Qi Yan bringing a stranger to this place.
Her attention s.h.i.+fted.
Ah? This seems interesting.
A person like Qi Yan bringing people other than his maids to go around?
While thinking that, Ye Ying Mei started to observe ‘Gu Qing Shan’.
As for ‘Qi Yan’, he managed to escape her attention.
“Huk! What exactly did the sect master tell you to do that so many people from your Zwei Wei hall disappeared, and even you yourself got injured?” Zhao Wu Chui squinted his eyes and asked.
The people of Zwei Wei Hall all had lock seals placed on them by Qi Yan and brought to Shen Wu world.
There they died at the hands of the Tianma Empress.
Gu Qing Shan heard, but didn’t answer him.
Quickly pa.s.sing through the two of them, he sat down at his own seat.
“Very well, let us start, why did we have to do this ahead of schedule this time?” he asked.
“Hallmaster Qi, you still haven’t answered my question!” Zhao Wu Chui stared straight at him and asked.
Gu Qing Shan closed his fans and spoke sincerely: “Old Zhao, there’s no need for you to stick your nose into Zwei Wei Hall. You aren’t my woman, asking unrelated questions just slows us down and makes people irritated”
“Qi Yan, you’re so d.a.m.n arrogant, do you not think of what would happen if you one day fall into my hands? What do you think is going to happen to you?” Zhao Wu scowled even more as he said.
“So you want a fight?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Zhao Wu Chui smirked: “What, you’ve only just reached Virtualized and you dare challenge me?”
He has already been at Virtualized realm for a long time, even in this world he was considered a great cultivator.
And Gu Qing Shan was a mere Ascended realm late stage, several realms below his.
Even the real Qi Yan who had just became a Virtualized realm cultivator was no match for Zhao Wu Chui.
If they really did fight, Gu Qing Shan’s ident.i.ty will be revealed right away.
Qing Rou couldn’t help but glance at Gu Qing Shan.
Sure enough, he appeared a bit hesitant.
This hesitation quickly brought the attention of both Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui.
Before Zhao Wu Chui said anything else, Gu Qing Shan had already spoken.
“I don’t mind a fight, but first you have to wait a bit” still with a hesitant look on his face, he said.
“Why?” Zhao Wu Chui was surprised.
Gu Qing Shan scowled and answered: “We have an esteemed guest here. Find a s.h.i.+rt or something to put on first, then I’ll fight you. Otherwise you’re showing so much skin that if the esteemed guest misunderstood my preferences, I can’t even refute”
Zhao Wu Chui froze for a few seconds.
Complete silence.
All the disciples around lowered their heads to hide their expressions.
Even the white fox was using its paws to cover the mouth of the mask, its body shaking.
After being stunned for two breaths, Zhao Wu Chui finally understood what he meant.
You d.a.m.n sharp-mouthed brat!
f.u.c.ker, I’m going to kill you!
Zhao Wu Chui’s fighting spirit exploded.
Boom!
The intense killing intent flowed like a tsunami, scaring the disciples.
Both Qing Rou and Wan Er still had their eyes lowered.
As Tribulation realm cultivators who had their powers sealed, they didn’t even dare to look up at a Virtualized realm cultivator like Zhao Wu Chui, otherwise people might notice something was off.
Gu Qing Shan lifted the cup of tea on the table and took a sip.
“Men, go and close the formations, and have our esteemed guest step back for a bit, lest she might affect mine and Hallmaster Zhao’s close bonding”
He was still being very casual about this.
The battle between two Virtualized realm cultivators will naturally destroy a lot of formations.
And this was the central area of Guang Yang sect.
Their battle might irreversibly damage the sect’s lifeline.
A formation user came forward, looking at the two Hallmasters with a difficult expression.
“Hallmaster Zhao, about this…”
He didn’t dare to offend Qi Yan, and even more so for Zhao Wu Chui.
Since Qi Yan already gave the order, if Zhao Wu Chui agreed as well, he’ll be able to close the formations without anyone blaming him.
This was nothing, but the white fox suddenly spoke up: “I’m actually quite interested in Guang Yang sect’s battle, may I stay back to watch?”
Zhao Wu Chui’s fighting spirit slowed down a bit.
The white fox was Rakshasa’s Daughter’s pet spirit beast, wherever it went, it represents that Rakshasa’s Daughter herself was there.
When it comes to Rakshasa Peak, Zhao Wu Chui couldn’t help but force himself to consider this as calmly as possible.
Do I really want to break out into in-fighting right here and now?
This will ruin the sect’s reputation too much.
Qi Yan doesn’t care about this because this has always been his nature.
But this Zhao Wu Chui can’t afford not to care.
A battle between Virtualized realm would take a long time to settle.
But the fact that the white fox is here means that Rakshasa’s Daughter was paying attention to this time’s meeting.
And Rakshasa Peak will arrive here quite soon.
If they come here and find that the two Hallmasters of Guang Yang sect are still fighting to the death, destroying almost all of the sect’s central area, wouldn’t that be a laughing topic for years to come?
Who doesn’t know that Qi Yan is a lawless son of a b.i.t.c.h?
But what about Zhao Wu Chui himself?
Now is a very crucial moment, I can’t afford not to care about the big picture.
Master is currently dealing with that matter.
Right now I’m currently attending to a very important guest, if I do this without thinking of the consequences, what would master say about this later?
Zhao Wu Chui stood still.
“Hallmasters, wait!”
Ye Ying Mei stood out to stop Zhao Wu Chui.
“Old Zhao, our esteemed guest is here, just let it go, you already know about Hallmaster Qi’s personality, just ignore him”
“Hallmaster Qi, you should mind your mouth as well, you’re both Hallmasters and Virtualized realm cultivators here, what use is there to fighting”
She was mediating between them.
“Ying Mei sis has a point”
Gu Qing Shan put the tea cup down, as if already forgotten about wanting to challenge Zhao Wu Chui before.
He looked at the white fox, staring at it.
As if he was very interested in the white fox, but said nothing to it at all.
On the other hand, Zhao Wu Chui was already swept to one side, falling into the awkward situation of not being able to fight, but not wanting to let go either.
After some hesitation, Zhao Wu Chui concluded that this wasn’t an appropriate time and just sat back down in irritation.
