Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Absolutely Not!

That damned bully!

He didn’t even tell his Junior Sister about their encounter!

He had mentioned to her seven days ago that Bai Xiaoyao had arrived in the Royal City, originally, she thought that the Demon Sect Holy Saint had explained everything about her to his Junior Sister, but from the way she spoke, it seems he hadn’t mentioned anything about herself to the demoness.

He must have intentionally wanted to see how she would explain the situation to Bai Xiaoyao!

As she thought about the life-and-death situation on the Sea-Crossing Boat, Lu Yuliu’s thoughts raced, and she quickly organized her words.

“Ummm… I came to the Royal City to prepare for the upcoming Human Immortal List.”

Lu Yuliu answered each question: “There was a contingency left by your Senior Brother on the Blood Spirit Jade, and we met on the Sea-Crossing Boat— Also, if I remember correctly, I should be older than you, Xiaoyao.”

In various senses, she didn’t consider herself younger than Bai Xiaoyao.

And if Bai Xiaoyao called that person her Senior Brother, then what was she? A younger sister?

She didn’t want to suddenly become a junior in front of that bully!

Bai Xiaoyao didn’t mind the correction in her address, as they often teased each other like that before.

But when she heard about the contingency her Senior Brother had left on the Blood Spirit Jade, she pondered for a moment and then revealed a look of confirmation.

It seemed to align with her speculation.

Judging by her Senior Brother’s cautious actions in the Royal City, leaving some backup plans was expected.

Especially since she had mentioned that she acquired the Blood Spirit Jade for a close friend, how could her Senior Brother not be curious about her friend?

In this way, it made sense that her Senior Brother boarded the Sea-Crossing Boat, sensed the aura of the Blood Spirit Jade, tested the waters, and then met her friend from the Sword Sect.

’But why didn’t my Senior Brother tell me about it?’

A hint of suspicion appeared on the demoness’s face.

“Is that all? Nothing else happened?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

Lu Yuliu replied firmly.

’Something else did happen.’

Furrowing her eyebrows lightly, Bai Xiaoyao suddenly thought of a possibility. “Did my Senior Brother see your true appearance?”

“No!”

’Okay, he did see it.’

The perceptive demoness gently touched her forehead, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

Just then, Luo Wusheng, who had partially restored his spiritual energy, landed in front of the two girls.

Seeing their somewhat strange expressions, Luo Wusheng raised an eyebrow, wondering what these two girls had been talking about.

But it wasn’t crucial at the moment.

He flipped his hand, and the eyeball he obtained after defeating the rat Netherkin appeared in his palm.

After a brief study, he had already grasped the basic usage of this peculiar item.

“Get ready, we’re going out.”

……..

Right now, The Demon Artifact Pavilion was now as silent as a tomb.

After witnessing Luo Wusheng unleashing the formidable longsword to suppress the ferocious Rat Netherkin, everyone present was left stunned.

Even the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the sky felt that their masks were slipping.

However, amidst the silence, the words flashing on the light screen did not pause for a moment. In fact, they became even denser than before, multiplying countless times.

“Annihilating a Nascent Soul with a single slash— Annihilating a Nascent Soul! Hahaha— I must be going mad…,” one message read.

“The Demon Sect Holy Saint is this powerful at the Golden Core stage? I wonder how strong he would be when he reached the Nascent Soul realm?” another message questioned.

“What kind of Artifact is that longsword? damn it, the moment I saw it, I even felt a glimpse of the aura of the Human Emperor Sword! Could that sword be a Divine Artifact?!” exclaimed another.

“Hiss— the Demon Sect Holy Saint is terrifying!”

Just as the amazed messages were about to fill the entire light screen, it shattered in an instant.

Three figures replaced the light screen, descending slowly to the ground.

It was none other than Luo Wusheng and two young girls who had returned from that spatial space.

As they landed, the surrounding crowd silently retreated, creating a vast empty space for the three of them.

After all, Luo Wusheng still carried the aura of someone who is able to slay a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single slash, which made these ordinary people unable to look directly at him.

The three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Six Gate Bureau were the quickest to react. With a single thought, they appeared in front of Luo Wusheng.

“You killed the Netherkin?” Miss Kirin’s voice was cold as she asked the first question.

Facing her inquiry, Luo Wusheng instinctively nodded, “If nothing unexpected happened, it should be dead— Although it gained the power of a Nascent Soul, it hadn’t truly cultivated a Nascent Soul. It couldn’t escape by relying on its Nascent Soul teleportation.”

Miss Kirin gave a soft “hmm”: “The longsword you used earlier, is it the alternative form of the Artifact called ’Phantomless’ that was mentioned before?”

It was at this moment that Luo Wusheng realized something was amiss.

“Did all of you witness that battle?”

“Not just us— Everyone present witnessed it,” Night Crow spoke softly from the side, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. “The Demon Sect Holy Saint annihilating a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single slash, it’s a truly awe-inspiring sight.”

He couldn’t help but feel a bit sour.

Why was a Middle-Grade Artifact more powerful than a High-Grade Artifact? And by such a large margin?

Is there something wrong with the grading system in your sect?

Only now did Luo Wusheng realize that the gazes of the people around him were clearly off.

Filled with awe, admiration, and a hint of longing, the onlookers were in awe of the Netherkin that could suppress three Nascent Soul stage cultivators with a single slash. And for the Holy Saint to be able to kill it with a single strike, what level of power had the Demon Sect Holy Saint reached?

It was obvious that it was a realm that these Qi refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators could hardly achieve in their lifetime.

Seeing Luo Wusheng lost in thought, Night Crow glanced around and explained what had happened outside with a sarcastic tone.

After listening, Luo Wusheng suddenly realized.

’No wonder Phantomless was so strong this time— It turns out it was a live broadcast? With real-time comments?’

This kind of manifestation before the people, with so many participants able to comment on it, and with their thought sorted out like that of a novel format, was undoubtedly in line with the intention of [Phantomless].

But when he thought about the power of turning inner thoughts into comments, Luo Wusheng had even more ideas.

If the target of the comments could be restricted, could it become a low-level mind-reading technique?

Luo Wusheng rubbed his chin but didn’t reveal his thoughts.

“I want to thank all of you for your assistance,” he said, bowing respectfully to the Nascent Soul stage cultivators. However, his gaze fell on the Nascent Soul cultivator wearing the mask with the pattern of withered leaves. “I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting this esteemed individual before. I am Luo Wusheng. May I know your name?”

“You may call me Wutong,” the Nascent Soul cultivator replied, scrutinizing the Demon Sect Holy Saint before her, her eyes filled with contemplation.

’This Holy Saint is indeed extraordinary, just as Her Majesty described— Able to accomplish so much at such a young age, even slaying a Nascent Soul…’

Unfortunately, his age is indeed a bit too young. According to Her Majesty’s words, he won’t be considered as a husband material.

Hmm… Should she try persuading Her Majesty again?

“Wutong, it’s time to inform the public about the situation,” Miss Kirin’s emotionless voice interrupted Wutong’s thoughts.

Wutong snapped back to attention and nodded, appearing in mid-air.

Among the Six Gate Bureau, she had the most seniority. Although there were some unexpected incidents this time, she was familiar with handling the aftermath.
