Chapter 284   Figures in the Great Deity Realm

The First Palace Leader and the others were stunned. Every one of them knew that the Sixth Palace Leader was at the medium level of Holy God. Surprisingly, he died before he could even perform his lethal skill.

As they fought with the enemy, they took a look at Hua Qiyue. But when they saw the Sixth Palace Leader, all black and scorched, lying on the ground, he was no longer breathing.

So powerful!

With one move, Hua Qiyue killed an opponent of her at the same level cruelly, which made the other Palace Leaders of the Dark Sect shocked inwardly!

Lan Luo did stand by. He could see that Hua Qiyue was much stronger than before, and his heart pounded with fear. He didn’t expect that Hua Qiyue had made such progress in less than a year!

“She’s indeed a top-level genius... No wonder Hua Mengshi learned all kinds of forbidden arts. Hua Qiyue is so strong that she would not have been able to draw with this woman without the forbidden arts.” Lan Luo talked to himself, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

And when three Palace Leaders at the great completeness of Round Sun saw this scene, they all rushed forward angrily, trying to kidnap Ji Jing to threaten Hua Qiyue.

Unfortunately, Hua Qiyue moved one step ahead of them. Her figure flashed, and she immediately disappeared in the eyes of everyone!

The Eighth and the Ninth Palace Leaders were scared out of their wits and felt a chill crept over their backs. They felt that if they made any mistake, they would die here!

“Heart of Fire!”

“Celestial-slaying Finger!”

Hua Qiyue shouted in a low voice. Her figure suddenly reappeared and passed the Eighth and the Ninth Palace Leaders in an instant. Two more screams were heard. When the two muffled sounds rang out, the Eighth and the Ninth Palace Leaders were killed by Hua Qiyue without much effort!

The moment the First Palace Leader saw that scene, his face darkened!

They were full of confidence previously, but after exchanging a dozen blows with Hua Qiyue, they found that she was so tough!

“Ninth brother, go and fight Hua Qiyue!” the First Palace Leader said coldly.

They joined hands but failed to gain the upper hand against Yun Shimo. Thus, they felt nothing but shocked.

After all, they were a small level higher than Yun Shimo. They didn’t expect that Yun Shimo was several times more powerful than they were.

The departure of the Ninth Palace Leader would definitely do no good to the First Palace Leader. But under the circumstances, he had no choice but to do so.

Bai Qianxue enjoyed watching the two parties fight at the side. Obviously, there were few people on Hua Qiyue’s side, but now, three of the Palace Leaders of the Dark Sect were killed in succession. While among the remaining six, Lan Luo just stood by. That was to say, they had only five strong fighters left.

However, Hua Qiyue, Xuanji, and Yun Shimo were top-level fighters. How could these five men be their match?

Soon, Xuanji knocked down his opponent—the Second Palace Leader. Yun Shimo was entangled in the fierce battle with the First Palace Leader.

The First Palace Leader was at least at the medium level of Holy God, a small level higher than Yun Shimo, but their strength was similar.

Yun Shimo just exerted 60 percent of his power first for he wanted to see what other lethal skills his opponent had.

The Dark Sect must have been famous for something special.

But when the First Palace Leader was about to lose, he suddenly gained strength, which puzzled Yun Shimo.

A moment passed, and there were scattered bodies on the ground. Lan Luo stood aside, not daring to breathe.

He did not step forward to offend anyone. Hua Qiyue ignored him and just stood there quietly, watching Yun Shimo fight the First Palace Leader fiercely.

“Yun Shimo, Hua Qiyue, you’re indeed powerful! Lan Luo seems to be right... But it was you, Lan Luo, who leaked the news...” the First Palace Leader said coldly as he fought with Yun Shimo.

...

Lan Luo smiled embarrassedly and said, “You should understand that only wise men survive, the First Palace Leader. I just made the best choice. After all, doing evil is not the right way to go. Isn’t it good for me to be kindhearted? If I could wash away my sins, I could live.”

The First Palace Leader was out of breath. Yun Shimo finally unleashed his power thoroughly.

The First Palace Leader looked at Yun Shimo in doubt. Then he took a few steps back and looked at Yun Shimo coldly.

“So, you... You haven’t used all your strength yet!”

The First Palace Leader’s heart was filled with great shock and fear. How could he not be shocked when he met such a strange and tough opponent for the first time?

Yun Shimo glanced indifferently at the bodies scattered on the ground and said, “What? Will you join Lan Luo on our side against the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect?”

Yun Shimo no longer pursued and attacked. He hoped to hear more from the First Palace Leader about the Dark Sect.

And seeing this, a few bold disciples, who hid in one place, rushed out and were killed by Huangfu Xuan one by one. The rest didn’t even dare to breathe.

“Hahaha... As the First Palace Leader of the Dark Sect, I should be reduced to betray the Dark Sect!” The First Palace Leader laughed wildly and had nothing but anger in his heart!

Yun Shimo nodded indifferently and said, “You have to believe that there’s always someone better than you.”

“Well, that’s right, Yun Shimo, Hua Qiyue! Don’t be complacent, though we members of the Dark Sect are defeated. Our Sect Leader has several old men in the Great Deity Realm behind her. She will avenge our death!”

“You mean you won’t surrender?” Hua Qiyue was not surprised. Of course, the First Palace Leader had the backbone.

He was not hurt now, but he could not gain the upper hand fighting Yun Shimo.

But if Hua Qiyue joined in, he was doomed to die!

“Of course...” the First Palace Leader said, elongating the words, and abruptly threw a yellow talisman into the sky.

“The Rune Conferring Invisibility & Escape, start!”

“No, he got away with a rune!”

“Be quick! Stop him!” Xuanji and Bai Qianxue shouted coldly at the same time. However, the rune disappeared in the air with a bang, and the First Palace Leader’s figure immediately vanished as well.

“It’s too late to chase,” Hua Qiyue said crossly, looking ahead.

She planned to kill the First Palace Leader, too. But naturally, the First Palace Leader was in the Sect Leader’s good graces and possessed some magic skills to escape.

These were what Yun Shimo had expected. He just didn’t expect that the First Palace Leader had the Rune Conferring Invisibility & Escape.

The Rune Conferring Invisibility & Escape was a lifesaver that Peach Fairy had painted ten thousand years ago to help the possessor escape and remain invisible.

And it was said that each drawing of such a rune would take one percent of one’s blood and essence. So every time such a rune was drawn, it meant that the painter’s body would be one point weaker.

So Peach Fairy only drew five runes. They did not expect that the First Palace Leader should have a rune drawn by Peach Fairy.

“How could he have such a high-grade rune? Does it mean that the treasures of the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect are much more powerful?” Ji Jing asked, puzzled.

All of them took a look at the messy scene on the ground and felt somewhat disappointed. They thought no one could have escaped this time.

“Lan Luo, have you seen the Sect Leader? Is the Sect Leader a man or a woman? What is the level of the Sect Leader’s Qi Art?”

Hua Qiyue turned to ask Lan Luo, her watery eyes full of bewilderment.

If the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect had the support of several old men in the Great Deity Realm, then they seemed too weak.

“The Sect Leader is a woman. I’ve only seen her once, of course. As to the level of her Qi Art, it must be about the great completeness of Holy God,” Lan Luo replied respectfully, his head down.

He was so good that he dared not play any more tricks.

Hua Qiyue and the others exchanged a glance. “You shall handle these things and then come to the Qinghe Inn for us. I don’t think the Dark Sect will accept you anymore. Now that you have given us this information, we will treat you as a friend...”

Yun Shimo’s face darkened as he heard that.

Another male.

Although this man was no match for him in all aspects, he didn’t like too many men around Hua Qiyue.

“If you dare to do us any harm, die,” Hua Qiyue said flatly.

Lan Luo nodded meekly and said in a low voice, “I swear I will be faithful to Princess Jinghua. I’ll take care of everything here. Everybody, go slowly, and I won’t see you off.”

Hua Qiyue turned around and said to Xuanji, “Brother Xuan, thank you so much tonight. But we might get you in trouble. If the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect really has several old men in the Great Deity Realm behind her...”

Xuanji looked unruffled. “Qiyue, don’t worry. Let’s go back. Even if there are old men in the Great Deity Realm, we have a trump card as well.”

Xuanji’s words startled Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue slightly.

What other trump card did they have?

Could it be Tianci’s Purple Primordial Chaos Bead?

No, it was impossible. Tianci’s fighting capacity was now strong but unstable. How could he match old men in the Great Deity Realm?

Those old men in the Great Deity Realm should be more than one hundred years old. They had rich practical experience, but Tianci was only a seven-year-old kid. How could he be their match?

Seeing the confused crowd, Xuanji smiled faintly and said, “You’ll know then.”

Xuanji could give such an answer, which proved that he had seen through the mysteries of heaven. Although he did not explain in detail, the crowd felt relieved a lot.

Hua Qiyue and the others returned to Qinghe Inn together. Lan Luo and several disciples of the Dark Sect, who surrendered immediately after they were thrown out, were responsible for handling the horrible scene.

Back to the inn, Hua Qiyue was somewhat surprised to find that nothing had happened in the inn.

Tianci was still sleeping in bed. The hare, Man-Hunting Insect, Caining and Caiqing were staying aside, guarding him quietly. Hua Qiyue thanked them and told them to have a rest.

Hua Qiyue had ordered three roast chickens, two steamed fish, two bowls of clear soup and five pots of wine. The waiter put the food in two big food baskets. Hua Qiyue carried two baskets of dishes into the Mysterious World.

She hadn’t entered this place for days. Tianpi was sitting on the edge of the pool, glancing at Hua Qiyue resentfully.

His fiery red hair was fluttering in the wind. The wind ruffled the pool, making it ripple and glitter. The gleam on the surface brightened Tianpi’s satanically handsome face.

“Master, I again brought you a lot of dishes. Come here, hurry up!” Hua Qiyue set all the dishes on the table. Tianpi rarely ate steamed rice. He just drank and ate meat. So Hua Qiyue didn’t bother to bring in some steamed rice.

Tianpi grunted coldly and turned away without looking at Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue pursed her lips and walked up to him with a wicked smile, saying, “Master, the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect said that she had several men in the Great Deity Realm to back her up. How many old men do you think are living in seclusion on the Tianyuan Continent?”
