And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 109

Chapter 109: What Is This Kid Capable Of?

Wu Huaqing did not reply. His gaze fell on Gu Xi. Looking at his unmoving back, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief. He felt as if as long as Gu Xi was here, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around.

Perhaps it was because Gu Xi had created too many miracles.

“It has been a long time since someone dared to provoke our Ancient Sect like this. You will pay a heavy price for this.”

“You don’t seem to have the qualifications to enter the Secret Realm, right?” The Ancient Sect’s people spoke indifferently. They did not attack immediately. It was like a cat playing with a mouse. They wanted to let the shadow of death cover Gu Xi’s head. They wanted to see his panicked and terrified expression.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi was exceptionally calm. His eyes and gaze were indifferent, as if he did not care about anything.

The people from the Ancient Sect could not help but become angry from embarrassment. They did not want to waste any more time talking to Gu Xi. “If that’s the case, then let me send you away!”

How would they send him away? Of course, it was with one word, ‘Die!’

Just as they were about to attack, the light chirping of Luan birds came from the sky. Several rays of light covered the sky, interweaving into colorful clouds. Not only that, a strange fragrance assailed their nostrils, and countless petals fell from the sky.

The Luan birds did not stop, bringing with them countless auspicious signs. Holy light enveloped the land, and even the peak of the snowy mountain seemed to have become a sacred place for everyone to worship.

To be able to create such a grand scene and display such pomp, one could imagine her identity. She was the most respected princess of the Capital, the Green Lotus Princess.

The five-colored Luan flew over in a carriage. The carriage was incomparably gorgeous, and a gentle female voice came from it. “Wait a moment.”

The people from the Ancient Sect were confused. They really did not know what to do.

Although the Imperial Family was in decline, they had been in power for a long time and had ruled for thousands of years. No matter what the people thought in their hearts, they still had to show some respect on the surface. Moreover, the Imperial Family had many secrets.

“I invited him over.”

The moment they finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. Gu Xi was actually invited by Green Lotus Princess!

The people from the Ancient Sect immediately revealed an indignant expression. “What kind of virtue does this kid have to be able to actually receive the Princess’s invitation?”

“I heard that the number of spots in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm this time is even lower than before. Every single one of them has caused all the major sects and factions to fight for it until their heads bleed. This kid’s luck is just too good.”

It was not just him, everyone else also had the same thoughts. After all, Green Lotus Princess’s status was noble and she had a powerful cultivation base. She also had the entire Imperial Family backing her up.

For a moment, everyone cast envious and jealous gazes at Gu Xi.

“When Green Lotus Princess invited this kid earlier, I already felt that something was wrong. Now, she’s speaking up for this kid. Could it be that there really is something between the two of them?”

“Don’t spout nonsense. You’re slandering the Princess’s reputation. Perhaps the Princess only has pure admiration for him.”

When the people from the Ancient Sect saw that Green Lotus Princess had stepped forward to protect Gu Xi, there was no way they would shed all pretense of cordiality with the Imperial Family now. Moreover, Green Lotus Princess’s status was important.

“Don’t tell me that we’re going to let this kid off? If word of this gets out, how will the outside world discuss it? In the future, doesn’t that mean that anyone can speak up and provoke us? Where will we hide our Ancient Sect’s face?”

The people of the Ancient Sect were clearly unwilling to accept this.

“I don’t know what methods this kid used to get in touch with Green Lotus Princess. Let’s not act rashly for now. He also wants to enter the Secret Realm. When that time comes, we’ll make our move. Even if the Princess holds us accountable, it’s none of our business.”

“You’re right. Death in the Secret Realm is a common occurrence. That kid’s skills are not as good as others’ and life and death accidents are not related to us.”

They looked at each other and smiled, instantly revealing a meaningful expression.

Who did not know that in the Secret Realm, killing people and stealing treasures were commonplace? This was especially so in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Every time the Secre Realm was opened, who knew how many people would die? Only a very small number of people would be able to survive.

“Since the Princess has spoken, then let’s forget about this matter.”

The Ancient Sect disciples looked at Gu Xi coldly, “It’s good that you have the strength, but if you’re too arrogant, you have to see if you have real ability. This time, the Princess has protected you, so you have to be careful in the Secret Realm.”

The last sentence was unclear, but Gu Xi acted as if he did not hear it. He did not even give the Ancient Sect people an extra glance.

It made them feel like they had punched cotton. Instead, they were furious.

The people of the Ancient Sect walked to the side and occasionally looked at Gu Xi’s side. They were filled with hostility and killing intent, which made the disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect feel pressured. Gu Xi was the only one who remained calm.

Apart from just opening her mouth, Green Lotus Princess did not communicate with Gu Xi anymore. For a moment, everyone was puzzled, but they did not dare to speculate.

Other than the Pure Lotus Sect, the Zhan Clan, the Ancient Sect, the Heavenly Secret Sect, and the other major sects, they all took their positions and could clearly observe the movements of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm in the air.

Those who were slightly weaker could only stand at the edge. However, Gu Xi and the others were a special case.

“Although the Primal Chaos Secret Realm has appeared, it has not fully appeared yet. I wonder how long it will take.”

“Judging from the aura on it, it should be soon. It might be today.”

“It might need a few major factions and sects to work together to consolidate the Secret Realm. I think this Primal Chaos Secret Realm is even more unstable than before.”

“I heard that the elder of heavenly secrets is here as well. He wants to perform a divi-ation for this.”

“It can’t be. The Elder of Heavenly Secret Sect hasn’t been involved in the affairs of the world for a long time. He has been in closed-door cultivation. Why is he out now?”

“It has never happened before. I don’t know why it is so special this year. Maybe it is because the Secret Realm was born earlier.”
