NOVPUBWang Ba maintained a calm demeanor:
"I won’t be going over with you guys. I’ll wait for you here at the Teleportation Array."
In mid-air, Tang Ji’s figure suddenly stiffened slightly.
A touch of speechlessness flashed through his eyes.
He had thought this kid had changed his ways, but it turned out he was still the same as ever.
However, despite that, for Martial Nephew Wang to take the initiative to face danger was obviously not easy for him.
With this thought, Tang Ji rolled his mana and enveloped Wang Ba, quickly flying towards the Teleportation Array set up in the Song State.
At the same time, he also heard Wang Ba’s voice, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
…
Yan State.
It was one of the many vassal states of the Great Yan.
The hierarchy within the territory was strict, several Sects specially dedicated to providing the Primitive Demonic Sect blood sacrifice populations ruled over the entire nation.
From time to time, Demon Sect cultivators would come to patrol.
On this day.
Over the skies of the Yan State, a large swathe of auspicious clouds appeared.
Heavenly music surrounded the clouds, and golden lotuses descended from the sky.
There were indistinct visions of fairy maidens, strongmen, treasure palanquins, and brocade tents.
In the depths of the auspicious clouds, four magnificent palaces slowly proceeded in parallel.
On the flags beside the palaces, the characters ’Ou’, ’Ji’, ’Fan’, and ’Shen’ hung respectively.
Although all were opulent, the servants around the palaces displayed numerous differences.
Among the three, many servants surrounded each, not lacking Nascent Soul Cultivators among them.
Only the ’Shen’ palace was surrounded by a mere few Golden Core Cultivators, appearing particularly shabby in comparison.
It was at this moment.
From one of the palaces, a coquettish and lascivious female voice rang out:
"Ah, I’m so bored. I thought that going out with you all would be interesting, but it’s just a bunch of useless men..."
Upon hearing this voice, from inside the ’Ou’ palace, a somewhat frivolous voice responded:
"If Junior Sister Ji is bored, why not come to my temporary imperial palace? I’ve heard that Junior Sister Ji’s ’Fairy Enlightenment’ is marvelously profound and endearing. Being a brother, I too wish to experience its flavor."
Immediately from the ’Ji’ palace, a seductive laughter that stirred the blood and quickened the pulse echoed:
"Ay, Senior Brother Ou, you’re joking. You’re the fifth holy child, and your strength is too great. Little Mei couldn’t withstand your... technique..."
The laughter was full of tempting charm, making anyone listening involuntarily conceive lewd thoughts.
It was as if countless vulgar words were pervading their ears.
In the Ou palace, that frivolous voice chuckled softly.
However, the voice from the Ji palace quickly switched topics, donning a sweet and greasy tone:
"But speaking of which, I haven’t experienced Junior Brother Shen’s skill yet."
However, no sound came from the Shen palace.
Thereupon, in the Ou palace, that frivolous voice echoed again, this time with undisguised disdain:
"Junior Sister Ji, even though Junior Brother Shen has exceptional talent, his cultivation base is still shallow. You’d be better off experiencing mine than tasting his."
Upon hearing this, the female voice from the Ji palace let out another ambiguous laugh:
"Oh? Exceptional talent?"
"Where does the talent lie? Junior Brother Shen, could you enlighten your senior sister?"
Still, there was no response from the Shen palace.
This silence seemed to irritate the master of the Ou palace.
The frivolous voice took on a colder edge:
"Junior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Ji is, after all, the sixth holy child, ranked above you. When she speaks to you, do you intend to be so disrespectful? Outside the Holy Sect, if the Clerics from the Kingdom of Immortals were to encounter us, we might not be able to save you, and then even your teacher couldn’t blame us."
"Senior Brother Ou, don’t scare the little junior brother. If our master blames us, I wouldn’t be able to bear it!"
The female Cultivator in the Ji palace giggled.
But then she suddenly let out a startled cry:
"Ah!"
At once, from the Ou palace, a tall man dressed in luxurious and holy garments flew out, landing beside the Ji palace and with a concerned expression asked:
"Junior Sister Ji, what happened to you?"
From inside the Ji palace came the slightly irritated panting of the female Cultivator:
"Huff~~ It’s nothing, I just accidentally tore my lining..."
Upon hearing this, a look of itching desire immediately appeared on the face of the tall man, and he almost couldn’t resist barging into the palace to indulge in pleasure.
In the Demon Sect’s practice, indulging one’s innermost desires is a given.
The flesh and form are important nourishment for their Cultivation.
However, in the end, he cast a wary glance at the nearby ’Fan’ palace.
With a forced chuckle, he said:
"Then that’s good."
In the palace resided the current third holy child.
Since 30 or 40 years ago, when the first holy child and the seventh holy child died suddenly during an outside mission, there had been significant changes in the ranking of the holy children within the Sect.
Two positions had suddenly opened up, causing many candidates for holy child within the Holy Sect to believe their chances had greatly increased, fighting fiercely amongst themselves.
As a result, the cultivators with advanced Cultivation bases all ended up mutually devastated, inadvertently allowing individuals like Shen Fu to secure a position among the holy children.
Each time he thought about the position he had worked so hard to earn, easily obtained by a late-stage Golden Core junior relying on his master, he felt extremely displeased.
If it were not for his concern for Shen Fu’s master, he would have made a move long ago.
As his thoughts turned, he forced a smile on his face and looked towards the Shen palace:
"Junior Brother Shen, I heard that you had once gone on a mission with the first holy child to inspect the four corners, just like today. That being the case, you must have witnessed Yao Wudi’s prowess, right?"
Upon hearing this.
From inside the Shen palace, a rare and somewhat indifferent voice finally spoke:
"Seen it."
Seeing Shen Fu’s indifferent attitude, as if he did not regard him with much regard.
The tall man’s face instantly showed a trace of anger.
