Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 544 - 521: Gathering of Heroes
Chapter 544: Chapter 521: Gathering of Heroes
Wang Enning, nicknamed ’Scarlet Rakshasa’, has a beautiful appearance, but she is ruthless and cruel, with numerous powerful Demon Generals having met their demise at her hands.
There have even been incidents where Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Human Race were severely injured for speaking frivolously to her.
Her power should not be underestimated; she has ranked within the top ten on the Demon Extermination List multiple times and is clearly a tier above Gao Bibo.
Within the younger generation of the Red Sun Sect, she is second only to ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Xia Hong and ’Jade-faced Young Master’ Lu Chen, making her one of the sect’s iconic figures.
“What happened?” Seeing Gao Bibo’s miserable appearance, Wang Enning’s phoenix eyes filled with anger, coldly swept over the Red Sun Sect members present.
It made them all shiver, their hearts filled with dread.
“Reporting to Senior Uncle Wang, Senior Uncle Gao was sparring with a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Corpse-Driving Sect but was injured by a mysterious person wearing a conical hat…
Some speculate that this person might be the Red Hero who disappeared several years ago.” A Qi Cultivator in his thirties or forties bowed and respectfully recounted the events.
“Red Hero? Whoever it is, will pay for injuring our people!” Wang Enning replied coldly, “Jiang Si, Zhang Shutang, take Gao Bibo back to the sect for healing.”
“Yes, Senior Sister Wang.” The two who were named were cultivators who had previously entered the first-class teahouse with Gao Bibo, and both had Foundation Establishment Level cultivation.
However, they dared not utter a single word of objection to Wang Enning’s orders.
Then, Wang Enning led the others back to the teahouse to check if the conical hat man left any traces.
Although Wang Enning was beautiful, her face carried an ominous aura, and her presence was intimidating, instantly silencing everyone upon entering the teahouse.
She glanced at Lou Yi’s table, her eyes flickering with surprise.
“Why are you here?”
“Senior Wang, with such excitement here, of course, we came to take a look.”
“Take care of yourself. The Corpse-Driving Sect has rarely produced a genius; I’d hate to see anything happen to you.” Wang Enning sneered.
“Thank you, Elder Wang, for your care.” Lou Yi’s expression remained unchanged, as he toasted a glass of wine to her in the air.
Seeing Lou Yi calmly facing this terrifying woman, others in the teahouse began to take notice of him.
“Who is this person?”
“He seems to be someone from the Corpse-Driving Sect, Lou something… oh, Lou Yi. Last time our sect’s elder went to negotiate with the Corpse-Driving Sect, I saw him.”
“Lou Yi, isn’t he the only one at the Qi Cultivation level to make it onto the Demon Extermination List?”
“Yes, yes, I remember now, this guy killed a Demon General, albeit heavily injured, but it’s still quite fearsome.”
Due to his ranking on the Demon Extermination List, Lou Yi’s reputation began to spread among various sects.
However, for the impending battle, a top-level Qi Cultivator who barely reached the Foundation Establishment Level was evidently somewhat inadequate.
As more and more top talents capable of influencing the battle arrived.
Lou Yi’s presence became increasingly insignificant.
Half a day after Wang Enning arrived in Huai City.
A giant black ruler glowing with ghostly light tore through the sky and arrived.
At the forefront stood many people, all wearing gray-white long robes with red long dragon patterns on their chests.
The leading young man had a broad face, thick eyebrows, and piercing black eyes that made people afraid to look directly.
“People from the Li Family of the East Sea have arrived; that wide-faced male cultivator in the center is Li Jiawei, who has twice topped the Demon Extermination List!”
“Have you seen the handsome young man next to Li Jiawei? He looks young, but his cultivation doesn’t seem much inferior to Li Jiawei.”
“I know him, Li Jianxiang, ranking just below Li Jiawei among the Seven Demon Exterminators, and the second most prominent figure of the Li Family’s younger generation, having entered the top ten of the Demon Extermination List twice!”
Soon, a radiant, multicolored white jade carriage noiselessly appeared over the city.
From inside walked out several men and women wearing luxurious brocade robes, each with a powerful aura.
“These are… people from the ancient aristocratic Hu Family of the Yan Kingdom; they have actually come too.”
“The Hu Family claims to be the number one cultivation family in the Northern Domain of the Central Continent, their influence in the Yan Kingdom comparable to Qingluan Palace…”
“The Hu Family usually doesn’t involve themselves in worldly affairs; it seems their presence here signals their great attention to the upcoming battle.”
Another day passed.
A crystalline and transparent fiery red flying boat suddenly flew above the crowd, immediately raising the surrounding air temperature rapidly, causing sweat to pour down like rain.
A few men in bright red Daoist robes jumped off the flying boat.
One of them had an ordinary appearance with a gentle smile, but a clearly visible flame mark on his brow.
Upon seeing this person, many people exclaimed loudly.
“It’s ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Xia Hong, leading a large group from the Red Sun Sect.
He is a genius who has won the monthly top spot on the Demon Extermination List four times, ranking just below Jin Tingfeng as one of the Seven Demon Exterminators!”
“Rumor has it Xia Hong’s strength is not inferior to Jin Tingfeng.
But his character is gentle, and he doesn’t care much for the reputation of being number one, which is why he has fewer top spots than the other.”
“Xia Hong is here; when will the other genius of the Red Sun Sect, Lu Chen, arrive?”
’Screech!’
That day, another large cyan bird broke through the clouds, descending into a large open space in Huai City.
The green bird was over thirty zhang long, its wings spread wide, covering the sun and the moon; each jade-like feather as thick as a common person’s arm, shimmering with extraordinary spiritual energy.
On the bird’s spacious back walked a group of female cultivators in cyan dresses, each as beautiful as a flower, their figures graceful and fragrant.
In the center was a tall female cultivator, her skin like coagulated fat, her brows like distant mountains shaded with indigo, her eyes like autumn water with ripples, a white flower emitting a faint glow inserted in her hair, surpassing the other female cultivators in beauty.
“Fairy Xin has arrived, indeed as beautiful as a fairy who descended to the mortal world, so lovely…”
“Compared to her beauty, Fairy Xin’s power is even more impressive, as the only female cultivator among the Seven Demon Exterminators, speaks volumes!”
“Every fairy from Qingluan Palace is so beautiful; whoever marries one would truly be thrice blessed.”
Following Qingluan Palace, a group of cultivators dressed in dark cyan suits arrived in Huai City, stepping on flying shuttles, their faces cold and carrying a fierce chill.
“People from the Zhang Family of the East Sea have arrived!”
“The Zhang Family’s influence even surpasses the Li Family, as their ancestor is a Master from the Limitless Sword Sect, unmatched in swordsmanship.”
“Where’s the Zhang Family’s strongest genius, Zhang Xinye; did he not come? His swordsmanship is sharp, almost cutting off one of the heads of a Lion Demon…”
Soon, many cultivators from the Corpse-Driving Sect arrived on the scene.
The Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators wore black Daoist robes, while inner sect and True Disciple wore blue Daoist robes.
Most of them had pale faces, with some accompanied by expressionless Lifebound Corpses.
The two leading the group.
One had white hair, holding a horsetail whisk, was Elder Wen, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
The other was tall and handsome, with a gentle appearance, recognized as Qiu Shaojie, the currently acknowledged number one of the younger generation of the Corpse-Driving Sect.
“The Corpse-Driving Sect finally arrived; I saw Qiu Shaojie.”
“Why did they bring an elderly cultivator? Other sects have sent young Foundation Establishment cultivators for training…”
“Alas, as the sect now lacks a prodigy who can stand alone. Qiu Shaojie has not long broken through, surely there must be someone to hold the scene.”
For their native sect, the Corpse-Driving Sect, Zhao Kingdom people felt a bit of wishing they could be stronger.
After all, for several years, they haven’t achieved even a top ten result on the Demon Extermination List.
The day before the great battle.
A dragon-headed bronze war chariot over ten zhang long aggressively approached Huai City, crashing into several unoccupied houses.
A group of sturdy cultivators jumped down from the war chariot, their skin emitting a precious glow, ancient semi-transparent characters occasionally appearing.
The True Blood Sect people finally arrived!
Among them, their leader was a young man who looked only in his twenties, clad in dazzling golden armor, with heavenly might, as if a god descending.
“Jin Tingfeng is here!”
The definite protagonist of this battle, Jin Tingfeng, arrived late, his face brimming with confidence.
Leaving no doubt about his determination to slay the top master of the Demon Clan.
However, Jin Tingfeng was restless upon arriving in the city.
He heard of the mysterious conical hat man who made Gao Bibo suffer and excitedly asked, “Where is the Red Hero?”
…
