186: People from Hanshui Palace

Shi Bao asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Feng sighed and said, "Ye Zai has fallen. This Wu Linglong is too powerful; no man can withstand her temptation."

Zhu Donghai said, "Don't mind him, let's have our own fun. My beauties, let's also take a walk around."

"Hehehe, Young Masters, stop looking and let's go! With so many of us beauties accompanying you, it'll be much more fun than the two of them."

"Hahaha! Right, he doesn't have this good fortune. Leave him be," Shi Bao laughed.

Outer Profound Realm

Inside the Xuantian Sect's discussion hall, Sect Master Huang Yan roared in anger, "Bastards! Two heaven realm eighth stage Protectors couldn't even protect the Young Sect Master in a place like the Southern Domain? Who exactly did this?"

Grand Elder Gong Ping said, "It's a young man named Jiang Ye. People in the Southern Domain now call him the killing god of the southern domain. This person is incredibly bloodthirsty; basically, anyone who has had a conflict with him has had their entire sect or clan exterminated."

"Killing god? In the Southern Domain, the weakest of the Four Domains, there's actually someone so strong? What kind of conflict did they have that it led to such a serious outcome as direct murder!"

"The Young Sect Master originally went to a power in the Southern Domain to recruit young geniuses, but that power had a conflict with Jiang Ye. The Young Sect Master stepped forward, but before he could even say a few words, he was directly stabbed by a spear."

"Hmm? What exactly is his Realm? Could two Protectors not even stop him?"

"It... it seems he hasn't even had a Breakthrough into the Heaven Realm yet."

Huang Yan was shocked and said, "What did you say? He hasn't even reached the Heaven Realm, yet he ended up killing two heaven realm eighth stage Protectors?"

"It's said that the Cultivation Technique he Cultivates is extremely strange, very much like a Soul Skill!"

"How is that possible! How could someone in a place like the Southern Domain Cultivate a Soul Skill? Send someone to investigate further! Find out who is backing this person. Without someone supporting him, he wouldn't be bold enough to kill people from our Profound Realm."

Gong Ping said, "He seems to have an unusual relationship with the Saintess of the Cold Water Palace. Since arriving in the Southern Domain's capital, he has stayed in the Saintess's Linglong Pavilion every time."

"The Saintess of the Cold Water Palace? Fine. Grand Elder! Go to the Cold Water Palace and demand an explanation."

"Yes!"

Half a month later

An Elder from the Cold Water Palace arrived at the Linglong Pavilion along with several Elite Disciples. Wu Linglong received them in the meeting hall.

"Ninth Elder, what brings you here?"

The Ninth Elder of the Cold Water Palace, Miao Shu, said, "Saintess, some time ago, the Xuantian Sect came to our Cold Water Palace demanding a person named Jiang Ye. I heard that person has a deep relationship with you."

"Oh? Do you want me to hand him over?"

"If possible, we hope you will hand him over to us."

Wu Linglong chuckled and said, "Ninth Elder, I heard you are only at the heaven realm sixth stage. Two heaven realm eighth stage experts from the Xuantian Sect were killed by him. If I hand him over to you, do you think you all can make it back to the Cold Water Palace alive?"

Miao Shu and the others were shocked. "Aren't you going to help us? You are the Saintess of the Cold Water Palace!"

"As everyone knows, I was afflicted by Cold Poison a year ago. If I act again, it will only accelerate the poison's onset. Besides, this isn't my business; I have no reason to help you."

"Since that's the case, and your cultivation can no longer progress, the Palace's intention is for you to surrender the position of Saintess to the next successor, so the Cold Water Palace can continue to grow and prosper."

"Hehehe, so that's how it is. Handing him over was just a pretense; taking away the Saintess position is the real goal. Was this decided by the Palace Master, or was it a private decision by your so-called Council of Elders?"

Miao Shu said, "Our Council of Elders proposed it unanimously, and the Palace Master also agreed to let Liang Qianqian succeed you as the Saintess. Hand over the saintess token!"
