Chapter 159 - Looking For An Inn

Chapter 159 - Looking For An Inn

"Lord Sect Master!" Xia Xinyue cried out in alarm after seeing the damage done by those terrifying lightning bolts.

The vast greenery outside of Green Wood City was now a terrible mess. Toppled trees, broken mountains, and large craters can be seen which made her heart jump in shock.

Xia Xinyue wanted to find Jiu Shen, but when she recalled his orders earlier, she chose to believe in him and waited patiently as she stared intently at the place covered by a thick cloud of black smoke. "Lord Sect Master should be fine..." She tried to console herself, but she could not help but feel worried since those flashes of lightning were just too frightening and she could even feel the strength behind them even though she was a great distance away.

Looking at the sky, Xia Xinyue could still see the huge crimson eye that was similarly looking at the cloud of black smoke. Just that, Xia Xinyue had no way of knowing the thoughts of this being, but she could somehow sense that it was stunned. However, she wasn’t so sure about this and it was merely her intuition.

The sky and the clouds were still painted with crimson color, but the flashes of lightning could no longer be seen. Only the gigantic God Exterminating Divine Eye remained as it looked unblinkingly at the cloud of black smoke. Suddenly, it squinted its pupil, and this time everyone could sense that it was expressing its surprise.

Not long later, the sky became clear and everyone could see a naked figure hovering in midair like a deity. He was no longer covered in blood and his eyes golden eyes flashed with an unfathomable light.

Jiu Shen smiled at the God Exterminating Divine Eye and said with limitless confidence in his tone. "We will meet again, but I hope you won’t disappoint me the next time we meet. Hahaha!"

After saying those words, Jiu Shen’s silhouette vanished into thin air and only his unbridled laughter lingered in the air. Everyone could sense his arrogance, but no one thought that it was wrong because he definitely has the qualifications to say those words.

"Woah! He actually managed to survive that?!"

"A scary figure is born in our Silver Wing Empire! Just that, who is that man?"

"Big news! I have to report this to my clan elders!"

"Me too!"

"Me three!"

The God Exterminating Divine Eye didn’t move for several seconds before it promptly closed its eyelid and its huge figure slowly turned incorporeal before vanishing like a mirage.

Seeing that the scary eye was already gone, everyone heaved sighs of relief. They then went back to their homes and clans to report what they had seen. Everything was too shocking and this news would definitely stun the whole of Silver Wing Empire. Just that, no one was able to identify the identity of the man who faced off against that mysterious eye.

Xia Xinyue was happy when she saw that Jiu Shen was still alive and she could not help but feel excited at the thought of serving such a man. She had seen his display of strength, and if she could not even tell that he was already a Nascent God Realm cultivator, then she might as well find a piece of tofu and smash her head with it.

Thinking about the future of their Ice Cloud Sword Sect, the excitement in her heart intensified.

Swoosh.

A gust of gentle wind brushed Xia Xinyue’s figure, making her a bit surprised. She turned her head sideways and saw Jiu Shen who was now wearing a set of embroidered white robes that made him look even more enchanting. When she looked at his pair of tantalizing golden eyes, Xia Xinyue felt her soul leaving her body. He was so handsome that it made her maiden heart quiver with inexplicable emotions.

"L-Lord Sect Master..." She muttered while looking at him with a dazed look. She didn’t even realize that her voice was already trembling as she spoke those words.

Jiu Shen nodded his head at her indifferently and he could also sense the change in her way of speaking to him, but he just ignored it. "Elder Xia, let’s stay here for a day before we go back home. I need to consolidate my strength first."

Xia Xinyue felt a bit sad at his distant way of speaking with her, but upon thinking about it, she had just met him for a few days, so they were not that familiar with each other yet.

"Yes, Lord Sect Master. Do you want me to find an inn for us?" Xia Xinyue asked with a smile on her face.

Jiu Shen thought for a moment before he nodded his head. "Mn, you can do that."

Xia Xinyue smiled as she bowed her head lightly before she went to look for someone to ask where they could find an inn to stay.

There were still many people loitering around, so it wasn’t long before she found someone she could ask for. It was a middle-aged man dressed in light body armor and there was also a long sword strapped behind his back. He looked rather bedraggled so he should be one of those people that went inside the mysterious cave.

"Mister, where is the nearest inn here?" Xia Xinyue asked in a respectful tone. Although she was much stronger than this middle-aged man, she still gave him a kind smile since she felt that this man’s current appearance looked a bit too pitiful.

The middle-aged man was at first irritated after being randomly pulled by someone, and he was also depressed since he had lost all of his buddies inside the mysterious cave, but just as he was about to rain curses, he saw that the person who pulled him was actually a beautiful lady with a curvy figure. He immediately revealed a warm smile as he answered her question. "Just right ahead is Green Wood City’s biggest and most luxurious inn, the Green Wood Pavilion, but young miss has to be careful since there are a lot of arrogant nobles in there."

Xia Xinyue thanked the middle-aged man before she walked towards Jiu Shen who was now immersed in his own thoughts.

The middle-aged man glanced at Xia Xinyue’s swaying figure with a wide smile, but when he saw her walking towards a man, his smile suddenly turned stiff. Looking at Jiu Shen’s devilishly handsome face and comparing it to his own, he looked no different than cow manure compared to that man with long silver hair. The middle-aged man then shook his head dejectedly before leaving the scene with a broken smile.

"Lord Sect Master, there is an inn up ahead and it’s also the most luxurious one here in Green Wood City. Should we go there?" Xia Xinyue glanced at Jiu Shen’s face with admiration as she asked him.

Jiu Shen nodded his head half-heartedly. He really didn’t think too much about the luxuriousness of the inns in the Profound Dragon Continent since everything in here was just a shabby place in his eyes. Only his store was giving him a more pleasant and peaceful feeling.

Seeing his agreement, Xia Xinyue immediately led the way with a beautiful smile on her face.
