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 didnât 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 peopleâs vision around there.
This was a preventive measure.
If the âXiong-Jiâ 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 shirtless, 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 Hallâs Hallmaster Ye Ying Mei and Xiang Ji Hallâs 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, Rakshasaâs Daughter.
Every generation of Rakshasaâs Daughter must kill 7 female cultivators as well as 21 male cultivators who were stronger than themselves to have the right to attempt seeking Rakshasaâs heritage.
When the process begins, only one of two consequences will happen.
The first is that they gain Rakshasaâs recognition and inherit Rakshasaâs 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 space that happens to pass by.
Rakshasa, the god of evil.
Only one who inherits Rakshasaâs thaumaturgy will be recognized as Rakshasaâs Daughter. From then on even a Virtualized realm cultivator of the sect could only bow down as her subject.
And those who gained Rakshasaâs thaumaturgy will manifest some sort of unique symbol between their brows.
This represents the fact that this cultivator had gained Rakshasaâs favor.
As for what a Rakshasaâs thaumaturgy was, they were abilities not of this world.
Every few thousand years, the symbols on the new Rakshasaâs Daughterâs 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, Rakshasaâs Daughters were powerful in both self and status, so for the last few ten thousands years, no one knew what thaumaturgy the new Rakshasaâs 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 Rakshasaâs 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 Rakshasaâs Daughterâs mask, itâs most likely that the white fox was Rakshasaâs Daughterâs pet spirit beast.
Which means today, Rakshasaâs Daughter was attending Guang Yang sect meeting as a guest!
This was even silently agreed upon by the top-brass of Guang Yang sect.
While Qing Rou and Wan Er lowered their eyes, their hearts were jumping.
Who wouldâve thought Rakshasaâs 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 couldnât 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 Yanâs pictured fan.
Opening it, he casually fanned himself as he walked up the platform.
âWhereâs the old man?â
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.
âThe Grand Elder isnât here, weâre going to discuss a few urgent business, but what happened to your face?â Ye Ying Mei asked.
Rubbing his own face, Gu Qing Shan calmly answered: âJust a scratch wound, nothing to worry aboutâ
Ye Ying Mei carefully observed the wounds on Gu Qing Shanâs face, feeling it a bit strange.
Just who is able to inflict such a wound on Qi Yanâs face?
But very quickly, Ye Ying Mei noticed Qi Yan bringing a stranger to this place.
Her attention shifted.
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 âGu Qing Shanâ.
As for âQi Yanâ, he managed to escape her attention.
âHuk! 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?â 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 didnât answer him.
Quickly passing through the two of them, he sat down at his own seat.
âVery well, let us start, why did we have to do this ahead of schedule this time?â he asked.
âHallmaster Qi, you still havenât answered my question!â Zhao Wu Chui stared straight at him and asked.
Gu Qing Shan closed his fans and spoke sincerely: âOld Zhao, thereâs no need for you to stick your nose into Zwei Wei Hall. You arenât my woman, asking unrelated questions just slows us down and makes people irritatedâ
âQi Yan, youâre so damn 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?â Zhao Wu scowled even more as he said.
âSo you want a fight?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
Zhao Wu Chui smirked: âWhat, youâve only just reached Virtualized and you dare challenge me?â
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 Shanâs identity will be revealed right away.
Qing Rou couldnât 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.
âI donât mind a fight, but first you have to wait a bitâ still with a hesitant look on his face, he said.
âWhy?â Zhao Wu Chui was surprised.
Gu Qing Shan scowled and answered: âWe have an esteemed guest here. Find a shirt or something to put on first, then Iâll fight you. Otherwise youâre showing so much skin that if the esteemed guest misunderstood my preferences, I canât even refuteâ
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 damn sharp-mouthed brat!
Fucker, Iâm going to kill you!
Zhao Wu Chuiâs 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 didnât 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.
âMen, go and close the formations, and have our esteemed guest step back for a bit, lest she might affect mine and Hallmaster Zhaoâs close bondingâ
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 sectâs lifeline.
A formation user came forward, looking at the two Hallmasters with a difficult expression.
âHallmaster Zhao, about thisâŠâ
He didnât 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, heâll be able to close the formations without anyone blaming him.
This was nothing, but the white fox suddenly spoke up: âIâm actually quite interested in Guang Yang sectâs battle, may I stay back to watch?â
Zhao Wu Chuiâs fighting spirit slowed down a bit.
The white fox was Rakshasaâs Daughterâs pet spirit beast, wherever it went, it represents that Rakshasaâs Daughter herself was there.
When it comes to Rakshasa Peak, Zhao Wu Chui couldnât 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 sectâs reputation too much.
Qi Yan doesnât care about this because this has always been his nature.
But this Zhao Wu Chui canât 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 Rakshasaâs Daughter was paying attention to this timeâs 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 sectâs central area, wouldnât that be a laughing topic for years to come?
Who doesnât know that Qi Yan is a lawless son of a bitch?
But what about Zhao Wu Chui himself?
Now is a very crucial moment, I canât afford not to care about the big picture.
Master is currently dealing with that matter.
Right now Iâm 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.
âHallmasters, wait!â
Ye Ying Mei stood out to stop Zhao Wu Chui.
âOld Zhao, our esteemed guest is here, just let it go, you already know about Hallmaster Qiâs personality, just ignore himâ
âHallmaster Qi, you should mind your mouth as well, youâre both Hallmasters and Virtualized realm cultivators here, what use is there to fightingâ
She was mediating between them.
âYing Mei sis has a pointâ
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 wasnât an appropriate time and just sat back down in irritation.
