Chapter 567: Rule of the West
What Chen Wentian was left dumbstruck.
He was caught red-handed and she directly called him out on it. If there were others around them, his reputation would have truly gone down the drain. He hadn't expected her to find out but he really should have. He had gotten too used to bullying his disciples. They gave in and accepted his naughtiness without much complaint. Xu Lanyi liked to be loud and combative but he could convince her with enough kisses and touches. Even Jasmine was easy prey because she no longer had any reservations about him.
You should think about it. Shi Shi laughed and flew away.
He reluctantly followed at a distance. He didn't know what to say to her so he kept his mouth shut. The only positive aspect was that she didn't seem to be too angry about it. He didn't expect that either and he didn't know if he should be thankful or wary.
She was so different. She was calm and clever but also surprisingly straightforward and open-minded. Moreover, she was willing to take some risks to help mortals. Her traits had similarities to some of his disciples including Wu Qianyu, Li Yuechan, and Xu Lanyi. Yet, she was unlike them entirely because she was an immortal with an abundance of real-life experience that had shaped her personality.
This was something else entirely, something he didnt have experience with. He didnt have any experience with women until a couple of years ago. And ever since creating his Ten Thousand Flower Valley and accepting a few disciples, he had formed a skewed impression of the relationship between a man and a woman.
In his mind, his women should be young and vivacious. They should be innocent and honest. He hadnt strictly considered whether they had to be virgins or not but he had to occupy their heart entirely, this was not negotiable. He was a selfish and controlling person. He wanted his relationships to be simple and completely within his grasp.
This was why he had never considered older women, especially immortals. He didnt understand them so he feared them. They were too complicated. He didnt know their minds worked and what they felt deep down in their hearts. There was too much uncertainty and he hated that.
Chen Wentian and Shi Shi continued to clear out the demonized puppets within Everblade City. Progress became slower after the larger groups had been wiped out. They did not want to destroy the city unnecessarily so they could only take out the puppets one or a few at a time.
They swept through the narrow side streets and individual houses. Shi Shi was especially careful around young children and babies. She made sure to move them and their parents to the safe zones before continuing. Her actions went beyond his expectations again and again.
He no longer knew what to think about her. He probably wouldnt have bothered with so much. But he wasnt a completely heartless person so he appreciated her efforts.
She wasnt an unattractive person. His tastes were not so deviant that he didnt know to appreciate her mature beauty. After being by her side for so long, he knew that she wasnt using any face-changing or illusory secret art.
He had also touched her body in the most intimate of ways. He knew all of her measurements. Her breasts were moderately sized and still carried an excellent shape. Her ass was not very perky but her hips were wide and sexy. He had even felt the moist warmth between her legs
Hey! Stop staring at my ass, we have company! Shi Shi called out.
Not bothering to deny it, Chen Wentian jerked his eyes away and glanced all around. He sensed a great number of human spiritual auras rapidly approaching from the north. They had only come aboveground for slightly over thirty minutes. Her estimate had been on point and their backup had finally arrived.
A particularly powerful spiritual intent swept over the city like a collapsing mountain. It carried the might of a Spirit King, imbued with golden righteousness and nobility. It belonged to Immortal Solemn Duke Huang Wuji, the most senior member of the Immortal Association within the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent. He was at the head of a group of over twenty other immortals. There was even another Spirit King among them.
Chen Wentian and Shi Shi rose to greet the new arrivals. They were quickly joined by Qiu Chuyi who had been shamelessly conserving his strength all this time.
The two sides soon met above the city. Qiu Chuyi was the first to move forward and bow slightly in respect.
Senior Huang, Senior Hai, thank the heavens you have arrived! He said.
Huang Wuji merely grunted with his eyes half-closed while the other person, a tall and slender woman of indeterminate age, nodded slightly.
What happened here? Tell me quickly! Huang Wuji asked, his voice carrying an urgency that was incomparable to his old and frail demeanor.
Yes, it is like this
Qiu Chuyi gave a summary of the events starting from the opening of the Forest of Swords. He described the dark fog that surrounded the whole arena and the subsequent battles. He concluded with how only the three of them had managed to escape.
While he was talking, Chen Wentian nudged Shi Shi and sent her a voice transmission, Who is that other person?
She shot him a glare and replied, She is the sect master of the Seven Seas Sacred Palace, Immortal Scarlet Sea Hai Dan. Why, is she pretty?
He snorted, No, my disciples are much better.
This was the objective truth as this Hai Dan couldnt be considered all that attractive. Her face was angled in weird ways and her features seemed to contain a sense of imperfection. On top of that, she seemed to be flat as a board. Her only saving grace was her fearsome cultivation and her vast influence.
The Seven Seas Sacred Palace was a super sect that was situated on the western edge of the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent. People werent sure exactly where it was. Some said that the actual sect was located underwater somewhere within the Gulf of Giant Tortoises which partially separated the subcontinent from their neighbor, the Western Wumu Subcontinent.
The Seven Seas Sacred Palace couldnt quite compare to the might of the Beast God Sanctum to the east but it was still a Spirit King sect. While the four kings occupied the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis and the center of the region, the palace could be considered the ruler of the west.
Chen Wentian didnt really care about Hai Dan or her sect. He was merely curious. The world was so vast and there were talented people everywhere. A few fortunate encounters could turn anyone into a powerhouse. His soul art was very special but he wasnt the only lucky person in the world.
Alright, Ive heard enough. Huang Wuji eventually said, Sovereign of the Seas Hai and I will look for the demons. You three can take a rest until we come back. Well want to discuss the matter in more detail then. The rest of you, clean up the city. Repair the teleportation array and help the people.
Yes, Senior Huang!
Alright, Old Huang!
Lets go!
