Chapter 233: Chapter 121: A Seventh-Order Great Demon Comes Knocking! Dare to Make a Deal with the Third Princess?
Lin Xuankong and his companions were located in a flat, open wilderness. When Liy Ruoqing, Liy Ruo Ying, and Zheng Yunrui heard the noise, they all turned to look. Seeing the situation in the distance, Zheng Yunrui frowned and said, "So many Martial Cultivators of the Fourth and Fifth Layers. Are they the ones gathered by the Celestial Sect Saintess and Elder Hua?"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. In this Ba Mountain Secret Realm, the only one who could command the countless experts of the Great Marsh Prefecture and Nanyuan Prefecture is probably that Celestial Sect Saintess!
At this moment, a flicker of curiosity arose in Lin Xuankong’s heart. The Celestial Sect Saintess, the Third Princess of Great Xia... such imposing titles. I wonder what she looks like?
With a thought, his Double Pupil suddenly activated. His gaze fell upon the small sedan encircled by hundreds of Martial Cultivators. In the next instant, all obstructions vanished, and a woman with a perfect figure and an unearthly, refined beauty entered his sight.
After carefully surveying her from top to bottom, inside and out, a look of realization dawned in Lin Xuankong’s eyes. So ’she’ is the Celestial Sect Saintess, the Third Princess of Great Xia! No wonder she could command even Ding Rui back in the Demon-Suppressing Valley. No wonder she disregarded over one hundred thousand catties of Demon Flesh, and even the Marsh Python Demon Pearl and Evil Sheep Demon Pearl! It turns out the Third Princess of Great Xia, the Celestial Sect Saintess, is the Mysterious Female Cultivator I beat up! This Third Princess, who swept through the Demon Slaying Conference, whose status and authority hold sway over the Southern Border, is now in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm and actually facing difficulties! Looking at this group running in such panic, their plan to deal with the Tier Seven Great Demon must have gone wrong. They’re probably being hunted by it!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong reached into his robes and touched the Demon Prison Cage, now shrunk to the size of an egg. After nearly thirty days of dedicated refinement, I’ve already upgraded the Demon Prison Cage to Tier Seven. It can easily suppress Tier Six and Tier Seven demons. I originally planned to enter the center of the Secret Realm to test it on some unlucky Tier Six Corpse Scorpions. Now, before I even had a chance to test it on them, a Tier Seven Great Demon is about to be delivered right to me!
However, he quickly thought of a problem. The Third Princess, whom I thrashed at the Demon Slaying Conference, knows my identity! I have many secrets. Revealing them all now would bring more harm than good! Besides, the status of Celestial Sect Saintess and Third Princess of Great Xia is simply too immense. The currents around her are too deep; it’s not suitable for someone like me, who has too many secrets!
Frowning slightly, Lin Xuankong deliberated for a moment before reaching under his robes, removing the Holy Arrival Jade Token, and storing it in his Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Pouch. Afterward, he discreetly touched his face, thinking to himself: My Disguise Technique is now countless times stronger than Yu Fei’s back then. I can even disguise my True Qi aura. This Third Princess of Great Xia surely won’t be able to recognize me!
"Elder Mu, with your Tier Seven Demon Prison Cage, dealing with that Tier Seven Great Demon chasing the Celestial Sect Saintess should pose no problem!" Liy Ruoqing said, looking at the Martial Cultivators rushing over from the distance. "The current situation is the perfect opportunity for you to make a name for yourself!"
Lin Xuankong replied, "Wait a moment. Let’s see what happens when they arrive. Whether or not to intervene will depend on whether this Celestial Sect Saintess keeps her word and is worth saving!"
Upon hearing this, Liy Ruoqing, Liy Ruo Ying, and Zheng Yunrui were momentarily stunned, looking at Lin Xuankong in surprise.
In their eyes, saving the Third Princess of Great Xia and the Celestial Sect Saintess was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain fame, establish their might, and receive unimaginable benefits. If they possessed the Demon Prison Cage, they wouldn’t even wait for those Martial Cultivators to approach. They would rush over immediately, right now, to rescue the Celestial Sect Saintess from peril and embark on the path to greatness!
Yet there was someone who was unwilling to rescue the Celestial Sect Saintess! Someone who didn’t regard such an event as a vast opportunity at all, acting as if it was a trivial matter!
However, when the three of them recalled ’Mu Shiba’s’ various powerful abilities and his Array Talent, unparalleled in the Great Xia Dynasty, they marveled inwardly. With Mu Shiba’s capabilities and his astonishing Array Talent, he indeed had no need to curry favor with the Third Princess to achieve immeasurable prospects and accomplishments!
"So this is the difference between people!" Zheng Yunrui remarked with deep feeling, lightly shaking her hair buns. "If it were me, I would have already gone over to win the favor of the Saintess. Yet Elder Mu doesn’t even consider such an opportunity, making me admire him enormously, truly enormously!"
Liy Ruoqing and Liy Ruo Ying were similarly filled with emotion. They then tightened the ropes of the soft couch they carried.
To be so proud as to not even give the Celestial Sect Saintess a second thought, and crucially, he had the grounds for such pride... For the two of them, carrying the soft couch for such an individual no longer felt demeaning in the slightest!
As they conversed, the Martial Cultivators drew nearer, now only a few miles away.
Only then did the Martial Cultivators stop. They took out Qi Replenishing Soup, Demon Flesh, and other supplies to restore their stamina and depleted Qi Blood. As the Martial Cultivators rested, many of them noticed the small group here.
Celestial Sect Elder Hua Yanluo, who was beside the small sedan, glanced in their direction and spoke a few words to several Martial Cultivators near her. Soon after, two Martial Cultivators headed towards Lin Xuankong’s group.
Lin Xuankong recognized these two; they were City Lord Cold Blood Robe and City Lord Zhou Zhenghu.
The two approached quickly. They had originally planned to greet the Liy Family Brothers. However, when they saw the Liy Family Brothers, so renowned in the Great Marsh Prefecture, actually carrying a soft couch for this mysterious young man, their eyes revealed profound shock.
