Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 518 - 518: Great Ones

And as if fate his mocking him, predicting a thing that he doesn’t want to happen, Su Xiaotian lets out a sigh from deep inside him, a sigh of disappointment seemingly due to the fact that his peaceful days in this place are about to stop now.

“What the hell are you sighing for, you bra—” feeling like they shouldn’t be experiencing disrespect like this, one of the masked figures starts speaking using the same tone they were previously using, as if they are people sitting above the beings in this working field.

Before he can even finish his sentence, though, words seem to get stuck in his throat as he feels the primal urge to move away from where he currently is, this urge overwhelming him so much that he fails to stop himself from taking a couple of steps away from the immortal-like young man’s figure.

Feeling the very same sensation as the one who just spoke, the other masked figures replicate his movements, taking a few steps away, revealing the wariness they are all feeling towards the young man in front of them.

‘It’s just like that person…’ with a ghastly expression on their faces as they stare at the young man standing up from his comfortable slouch as he takes care of the crops near him, one of the figures thought to themselves before shaking their head, terrified at the fact that such a thought pops into their mind.

“Is there any problem, enforcers?” almost as if the pressure and terror they were previously feeling were nothing but an illusion, the masked figures heard the immortal-like young man’s voice, a gentle, calm one opposite to the oppressive feeling that he just made them feel, his expression, despite being cold, carries a hint of familiarity and warmth that made them feel at ease, as if he’s capable of holding everything up even if the very heavens itself collapse.

“N-nothing at all, apparently, there are some things that the Great Ones want to inquire about… and we are tasked to bring you to their place mister…” one of the masked figures, seemingly the true leader of this group wearing the only mask with a mark on them, stated, the slightly hesitating, feminine voice coming out of the mask making the immortal-like young man smile as he gives his name from the seemingly inquiring lady.

“I-I’m sorry, can I get your name?” the inquiring lady asked as she tried her best to control herself, that smile making her feel like her lower body was about to melt and just force her to fall on the ground right now.

“Ah, yes, of course, I am a humble servant who was lucky enough to get picked up by Madam Liliana somewhere…” despite the humble demeanor playing some sort of innocent, or rather, inexperienced person, the unmistakable air of superiority, that immortal-like grandeur in the way he carries himself shows, causing the two who came for him to wonder whether what he is talking about regarding where he came from is true or not.

“Xiaotian, Su Xiaotian” he stated loud and clear, causing some confusion to appear on these two enforcers’ faces, wondering what sort of peculiar name it is.

‘Quite impressive how it is the very same reaction as Liliana’s’ he thought to himself as he stared at the confusion on these enforcers’ faces, faces that he can see all too clearly despite the masks obscuring them from anyone else’s sight, this confusion not lasting for all too long as the leader of the group once again spoke.

“Su, like I previously said, some of the Great Ones are interested in bringing you to their place, hence why we are here in this plantation…” the leader clarified, only now coming to realize that there might be a problem if they want to bring this young man to that place.

“Leader, why are we even talking this politely with this person, let’s just grab him and bring him out of this place!” one of the more aggressive ones from the group couldn’t help but feel annoyed that they had to lower their heads to a human like this, a situation that they never felt they have to go through in their entire life.

Forgetting the previous pressure and terror that he had made them feel, most of them also agree with the words of the person who previously spoke, all of them in a rushed tone, almost as if they are trying to end this situation as fast as possible, as if they are avoiding something, a problem, from happening.

As much as they would like to take this young man away without any problem though, things aren’t bound to go their way, for today, at the very least, as they felt a domineering, desolate pressure bearing down on their body, seemingly forcing them to kneel the ground, some of the weaker ones falling flat on their faces as they lose consciousness with the arrival of the root of the problem they are thinking of.

And this root of the problem they are wary of descends with a trace of pride in her voice as it spreads across the field, melodious like a wind chime in spring, and yet cold and calming as well, like the cool, chilly stream taking away heat from one’s body after being bathed in the summer sun.

“Is there anything you want with him?” descending down the ground without even a single sound, this lady asked with a trace of anger apparent in her calm voice, her crimson ruby pupils staring at this group of masked enforcers with a chilly light that made them feel death creeping near them.

“M-Miss L-Liliana, some of the Great Ones want to meet this person of yours…” the leader of the group said with trembling voice as she recalls the recent incidents that happened under this lady’s name, things that made even those people in that place feel quite wary and curious of her, with some even wondering whether they should invite her to their ranks.

“Great Ones? Pft…. Fufufu~~~ hehe~~~ hahaha~~~!!” hearing those words, this lady couldn’t help but show a trace of anger in her face, anger that immediately fades and was replaced by a look of amusement, then a smile that she tries so hard to hide before it turns onto a complete fit of uncharacteristical laughter, both her arms wrapped around her stomach as she tries her hardest to stop her laughter for a good long while.

“Ohh… Great Ones… ahaha… this is so funny….” She speak once more as she finally manages to reign in her fit of laughter, moving one of her fair hands towards her charming face as she wept some tears that came out due to her laughs, a smile on her face as she starts walking forward in the midst of these masked people, her gait confident and unconcerned of whatever tricks this people might try almost as if she is certain that even if they do try something, they won’t even reach close to her before they are dealt with.

“Tell your Great Ones to fuck off, or they can also go ahead and show themselves here if they dare”
