Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1357 - 779: Struggle for Supremacy (Shao Siming Chen Yu +4)

Which idiot jumped out of nowhere and said something so ridiculous? Women can’t make things difficult for other women?

"What a joke, there are plenty of unfaithful and heartless men, and equally many women who seduce others’ husbands! Aren’t you a monk carrying around a young lady as beautiful as a flower, yet you pretend to be so noble!"

As it happened, the Princess of Western Xia, as beautiful as a flower, was indeed nearby. Hearing what Li Mochou said, she became anxious: "My husband has long left the Buddhist Sect, and his words were merely to advise this sister not to continue killing, lest she harms herself."

This soft and sweet voice, calling her sister, somewhat comforted Li Mochou, but giving up Sun Xiaohong?

"Not in a million years, Miss Sun must follow Li Mochou."

Li Mochou was about to take Sun Xiaohong away, but saw that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou already blocked her path.

"Oh, today is truly interesting, so many handsome young men rushing to save you. Little girl, you’re quite lucky."

"Sister, sister, if you let me go, I’d rather forfeit this luck."

"Shut up!"

Sun Xiaohong dared not offend this fierce woman, only hoping that Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, and Xu Zhu could join forces to stop Li Mochou.

The trio’s cooperation was indeed formidable. Li Mochou couldn’t escape, and with someone in her hands, she couldn’t use her techniques and was thus trapped. However, because she had someone in her grasp, the three did not dare to strike too hard, leading to a standoff.

While chaos ensued on this side, two others were fighting intensely across the street. Of course, they were also people known on the Black List, though very young, their martial arts had already reached Grandmaster Level.

And the reason for their fight was simple.

— For a woman.

This woman stood anxiously watching, her eyes never leaving that short-haired yet graceful young man. As for the noble and elegant young man with superb swordsmanship, seeing her so worried, his attacks became even more ruthless.

The onlookers watched intensely.

"Shen Bijun, though not the most beautiful in the Martial Arts World, is truly a stunning beauty, rivaling Fairy Jing Hong in my view."

"She’s a typical noble lady, quite different from Fairy Jing Hong’s unique charm. But still, Xiao Shiyilang and Lian Chengbi don’t care about the War God’s Atlas, all for a woman, quite foolish."

Foolish?

Who can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart?

Just as Xiao Shiyilang and Lian Chengbi had not yet determined a winner.

Clang!

A crisp sound, and Li Mochou suddenly felt her hands empty,

Where is she?

Sun Xiaohong was gone!

Everyone was shocked!

Turning their heads, they saw Sun Xiaohong already caught by a short, young girl,

Interestingly, this girl was shorter than Sun Xiaohong’s waist, yet was holding her by her collar on the rooftop.

The appearance of this woman sent a chill down many people’s hearts, especially Ding Chunqiu, whose knees hurt.

Tianshan Beauty.

This old demoness who had been missing for years, why did she appear today!

She cackled coldly, her gaze sweeping the whole scene, snorting lightly: "Wu Yazi, I know you’re here, come out."

No response.

"Ha~ Li Canghai is poisoned with Gonorrhoea and can only be frozen for a hundred years. Only Elder Tianji knows how to save her. For that woman, you would defy morality and still take action. Now that you’re here, why hide?"

Tianshan Beauty cackled coldly.

Suddenly a sigh came from the inn, and a man with white hair but a refined and elegant appearance stepped out.

"Senior sister, why go to such lengths?"

Is this man Wu Yazi?

The renowned Wu Yazi of the Xiaoyao Sect.

"Why? You’re asking why? Junior brother, why don’t you say that to Junior Sister Qiushui?"

Li Qiushui is also here?

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

"Senior sister’s words are truly amusing. You hold my dear sister’s life in your hands. Today I’m on the same side as my senior brother. How could he be my foe?"

"Right, senior brother?"

Though the childlike Tianshan Beauty appeared adorable yet intimidating, this woman in white, strikingly beautiful with an even more imposing presence than Li Mochou, was undoubtedly another fierce character from Lingjiu Palace — Li Qiushui.

Interestingly, the Xiaoyao Sect’s Lingjiu Palace is quite peculiar. Whether it was Wu Yazi or their male disciples like Ding Chunqiu, they were suppressed by women like Tianshan Beauty and Li Qiushui. However, Wu Yazi was somewhat better off, favored by his senior and junior sisters, though he ultimately fell in love with the wrong person, causing him a life of misery, he at least had his romantic charms. Meanwhile, Ding Chunqiu, with his full head of white hair yet no hint of youth, found himself controlled by the Life and Death Talisman for years, lost an arm, and now, seeing these Lingjiu Palace members flirting, was infuriated.

He dared not say much... only Xu Zhu.

"Master and fellow uncles, we are all from the same sect, let’s not kill each other."

Upon hearing Xu Zhu’s words, Sui Yi’s lips curled slightly. This Xu Zhu was indeed interesting, his words always seemed like spiritual chicken soup. Yet, despite his benevolent heart, his understanding of Buddhism was not deep but rather rigid and conservative. Still, the sound of bells in Buddhism did rely on people like him.

Sui Yi thought of those truly enlightened Buddhist masters, who perhaps saw through the ultimate indifference of worldly matters and the universe, transforming from great benevolence to great renunciation, giving up saving the world.

Just like her.

The common people are the most ruthless.

Sui Yi’s mind moved slightly, and for a moment she was lost in endless thoughts, oblivious to the pressing crisis ahead, as if her eyes were filled with the resentful faces of those sorrowful common people.

At this moment, she seemed to more deeply understand the feelings of the High Priest back then.

That absolute solitude.

Suddenly, Sui Yi was startled from her thoughts, turning her head to look at the Sky Asking Tower. She vaguely saw a window open in the building, with a person standing at the window, staring straight at her, dressed in white with a silver mask, eyes cold as ice.

This person... Sui Yi pondered.

Dong!

Suddenly, a clear bell sound came from the top floor of the Sky Asking Tower, and everyone instinctively looked up.

On the third-floor corridor of the Sky Asking Tower, several individuals in white appeared, each holding a Bronze Bell. The first person struck once, the second struck twice, and so on. The bell sounds continued in succession, and correspondingly, each time the bell rang in broad daylight, the Glass Lanterns hanging above suddenly lit up one by one.

Is it really necessary to light the lamps during the day?

But soon they discovered that the light from these lamps seemed entirely different, emitting a captivating Fragrance of Brahman, and the lamp fans rotated automatically, the pictures on them seemed to come alive, with figures either laughing, crying, or angry, sending chills down one’s spine. Above the Sky Asking Tower, a man in a black robe and white face opened the door, walked to the corridor, and hoarsely said: "The Black List ranking has begun, Elder Tianji, why haven’t you appeared yet? Do you really want everyone to fight and bleed for you before showing yourself? Do you want your granddaughter to become a sacrificial victim before you make your appearance?"

"It’s just a War God’s Atlas, bring it out... don’t keep these masters waiting."

Lu Xiaofeng nudged Hua Manlou with his elbow below: "Blindman, he’s not referring to us as those masters, right?"

Hua Manlou sighed: "Definitely not."

Perhaps it’s Wu Yazi, Tianshan Beauty, and others, but probably not just them.

Sure enough, as Hua Manlou sighed.

Many people noticed figures appearing at some point, or perhaps they had always been there.

A monk with palms joined: Amitābha, Fang Zheng is here.

Master Fang Zheng!

Beside him was another monk, and as soon as Duan Yu saw him, he shivered, Prince Duan!

Two appeared straight away from the front of the Black List!

When Pharmacist Huang in a yellow robe stepped with the Seven Star Steps, his figure was like carrying a bizarre Eight Trigrams Formation, three!

In the top twenty of the Black List, no less than five or six appeared!

This was already an extremely high rate of appearance!

Li Xunhuan and others slightly relaxed their expressions, all being enlightened monks, these people shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with; perhaps they might even help them, after all, Elder Tianji was friendly all over the world, this world was not entirely of people who forget kindness for profit.

But this is not the focus!

Suddenly.

Demonic Qi surged everywhere.

The darkness eclipsed the sky, for a moment... the lamp and glass shone.

The light had a function, everyone saw a person condensed from that demonic qi.

An individual in a black robe, the body wrapped in black aura, the hat covering half the face, revealing only a handsome, pale chin and those jet-black lips.

A man or a woman?

He laughed, a mixture of male and female voices.

"Wen Tian, you asked me here, isn’t it just to show me these little gadgets?"

His tone and that domineering gaze unmistakably told everyone present — little gadgets? Yes, he was talking about them!

Tianshan Beauty sneered: "The Demon Sect’s Yin Yang?"

The sect leader of the Demon Sect, Yin Yang, this name was very familiar to many, but they had never seen the real person, only now meeting him, they realized there was a man as chillingly evil as him in this world.

Especially when they saw the figures emerging after the black aura behind him dispersed, they turned colors all at once.

"It’s the Massacre Demon Blade Hand."

"It’s that Cannibal Ghost King Hao."

"Damn, turns out for a hundred years, the villains in Jianghu were all under his command."

"Dongfang Bubai has a Demon Sect Blackwood Cliff, and this Yin Yang also has a Demon Sect, but it’s truly demonic!"

And this demon swept his gaze across, suddenly looking at Tianshan Beauty, eerily saying: "Give her to me, or else, I’ll kill you~!"

He reached out his hand, the hand was long and beautiful, nails carefully manicured, but pitch black, like poisonous venom. His fingers twirled slightly, and black aura coiled around Tianshan Beauty’s body.

Sect Master? Grand Sect Leader?

This method was too strange, who could discern its depth?

Sui Yi stood at the edge of the crowd, noticing Yan Jingan’s gaze eerily fixed on this Yin Yang.

"Is he your opponent?"

"Probably not," Yan Jingan smiled faintly: "The Demon Sect’s Yin Yang has only ever had two nemeses... or perhaps one. You seem quite interested in who I’m dealing with."
