Divine Brilliance

Chapter 746: Demon Path Saint Woman

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After leaving the Daoling Vast Habitat, Zong Shou summoned the Demon God Shuttle and traveled swiftly east.

He had spent 20 days outside this time. First was the battle against the Nine Yin Death Witch Gong Xinran and then it was the battle against the Taoist Faction.

Each day was spent in war and fighting.

Even someone made of iron would feel sick of it. Zong Shou was also homesick long ago.

Shui Lingbo separated from him halfway and made her way back to the Common People’s Vast Habitat.

When she left, she didn’t say much, just telling him to “be careful”.

Zong Shou knew what she meant, after a soft laugh he didn’t reply to her.

In just a few dozen days, he would be able to see her again.

The moment the shuttle flew out of the Central Cloud Continent and was about to get close to Huizhou, a person suddenly appeared in the sky. An aura locked onto him and also locked down the route that he was moving in.

Zong Shou frowned and looked out. It was an unfamiliar girl, but her looks and demeanour were top grade; a flower-like jade face, white skin and red muscles, a true beauty. She was dressed in red which clung tight to her close to perfect body, making her look really alluring.

Her looks were no less than the Xue Family Saint Girl.

On closer inspection, Zong Shou’s heart turned cold, disgust appearing in his eyes.

He felt bits of mental energy silently affecting his mind.

It made him subconsciously want to get closer to this girl. That exquisite face seemed like it had a magical power, such that he couldn’t shift his eyes away from it.

This woman looked too similar to Xue Xuan. They were so similar that it made him feel annoyed...

Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou still came out from the flying shuttle.

If he wanted to leave, then this woman was definitely unable to stop him. She was just a Late Spirit Realm. In front of him, it wasn’t much.

When the devilish girl saw him, her eyes lit up. She properly bowed toward him.

Although she was really serious and proper, it gave one a flirting and seductive feel.

“Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat Su Xiaoxiao greets Ruler!”

Su Xiaoxiao?

Zong Shou sized her up and he couldn’t help but stare at her chest.

He then realized that was inappropriate as he retracted his gaze. He thought to himself that she was not only small, but she was really big, comparable to Chuxue.

Following this, he thought about something and a sharp glow flashed in his eyes, “Su Xiaoxiao? You are the Demon Path Saint Woman from 20 years ago?”

“Eh?”

Su Xiaoxiao was obviously surprised, looking at Zong Shou in shock.

She used her petite hand to cover her lips and giggled, “Who knew that Ruler would know of my lowly name. It is too exaggerated to call me the Demon Path Saint Woman. This Saint Woman title can only belong to one family from the Vast Habitat. Speaking of which, the Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat has never revealed this small title to the world. I have also never walked about in the Cloud World, so how did Ruler learn of me?”

Zong Shou scoffed and didn’t reply. He had not only heard of this name, it was like thunder to his ears.

This woman, like what she said, was arranged by Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat to train in the outer regions.

At the age of 12, she inherited the position of Demon Path Saint Woman. In 20 years she pushed her cultivation to the late Spirit Realm stage.

She returned to the Cloud World 4 years after the Spiritual Wave began.

She was different from other Demon Path people. Not only did she not randomly kill, she was really good at strategy and her methods were really vicious and sharp. She often didn’t need to personally kill her targets and there were many Cloud World Cultivators who died because of her.

The entire Demon Path admitted to her existence.

She was on the same level as Shui Lingbo, both of them fighting for their entire life, but unable to decide a victor.

For her to return back to the Cloud World so many years earlier was most probably because the Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat felt that the Double Cultivator, Wuxuan, wasn’t reliable and so they needed her.

Actually, the strengths of the few religions and factions weren’t limit to just the Cloud World. During these 10,000 years, they kept stretching outward. In the outer region, they had numerous Elite disciples.

Su Xiaoxiao was one of them.

“You don’t have to worry about how I found out about it. I only want to ask you what’s your reason for coming?”

Although he asked this, in his heart he had an expected answer.

As expected, Su Xiaoxiao nodded her head when she heard this, “That is true! It seems like the Vast Habitat needs to be cleaned out. Ruler’s depth of knowledge is really shocking.”

When she said this, she gave a flirty smile, “As for why I came, you know the answer so why do you ask? You are about to face your tribulation and a killing calamity. Aren’t you going to prepare for it in advance?”

“Killing calamity? Prepare in advance?”

Zong Shou was still really calm, looking deeply at Su Xiaoxiao and then he smiled, “Speaking of which, you don’t have high hopes for me this time?”

“It is not that I don’t have high hopes!”

She shook her head, “In my eyes, you are going to die and there are no other possibilities. It is only a matter of time...”

Seeing Zong Shou seem as if he didn’t care, Su Xiaoxiao frowned and continued, “Ruler you wiped out dozens of Taoist sects and killed Wu Xu. Then, you also caused the death of Yuanmeng. Daoling Vast Habitat has lost a lot of face and reputation. Even if they don’t take revenge, the best way to reestablish their dominance is to kill you. They suffered heavy losses and can’t attack. However, Huayun and Longxuan are about to return. No matter what, I don’t think they can let you go. Even if you have Aokun and Dragon Shadow, you are going to die!”

Zong Shou nodded ever so slightly. These words really made sense. He also didn’t think that the Taoist Faction would let him off lightly.

“So, what you are saying is that Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat is willing to help me?”

If that was the case, then it would be for the best.

Su Xiaoxiao avoided it and didn’t reply, continuing, “Tailing and Daoling Sects want to gain the hearts of the 3,000 Taoist Sects. The best way would be to use your head to do so. Even Great Shang’s Yuancheng Emperor wouldn’t allow Gantian Mountain to grow huge. As for my Demon Path, Ruler would laugh at us. As compared to the Taoist Faction, we are in a worse situation. Ten Thousand Demon Vast Habitat can’t restrict those few large sects. Ruler and Yuanshi Demon Sect’s problems are things that you can only solve by yourself. Even if Sword Sect and the Buddhist Faction are not willing to help, the Taoist Faction would step aside. This is why I don’t see any way that you can successfully pass your tribulation.”

At this point, her lips curled up in a mocking manner, “It isn’t if we want to help you, but how you are going to let us help you! In this world, only we can help you. What are your views regarding the situation?”

Zong Shou sighed in his heart when he heard this. The woman really understood 70-80% of the situation that he was in.

Logically speaking, he was definitely dead! There was no other way.

However, that was based on normal logic.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, her gaze filled with anticipation and a cold mocking intent. Zong Shou felt amused by this, “Then, according to Miss Su, you want me to join the Demon Sect? It is best that I let you restrict my heart? Do you want the Blood Cloud Cavalry? Gantian Mountain needs more Demon religion people? How many Monster race slaves do we have to provide each year? How many blood sacrifice materials?”

At first, Su Xiaoxiao was delighted, but the more she heard, the more she felt that it wasn’t right and her brow rose up.

In the end, Zong Shou scoffed coldly, saying calmly, “You can scram before I kill you!”

Su Xiaoxiao was totally stunned when she heard this, looking at Zong Shou in disbelief.

The atmosphere had suddenly turned totally cold. After several breaths, she forced herself to smile.

“Ruler really has a special personality! You are straight and don’t worry about the outcome. Since you don’t want it, then I won’t force you. However, you should consider it, within 20 days my words are still valid.”

After she finished, she didn’t stay at all as she decisively flew into the distance. In an instant, her aura was gone.

Zong Shou rubbed his brows. He sent his Spiritual Sense in and could feel that there was a huge tear in the barrier above. It was ten times larger than a few days ago.

This was caused by Yuanmeng’s hit. The Heaven Barrier was already broken and there was no way to stop it from expanding.

Even if he didn’t do anything and stopped cultivating, in just 30 days his tribulation would arrive.

This time he was really forced to a corner. He had no way to avoid it.

Thinking back to the evil intents which spread from all over when he left the Daoling Vast Habitat, his brows frowned even more deeply.

These people seemed to be certain that he would definitely die this time.

They didn’t even bother to hide their killing intent.

Even when he had just killed Yuanmeng and his prestige was at its strongest, he was unable to threaten them.

Thinking about it, there was no good solution. This had already exceeded his ability. Apart from entering the Common People’s Vast Habitat, there was no other way.

He couldn’t help but scoff. In those people’s eyes, he was like a shooting star. Although he was eye-catching and bright, the speed which he fell was also really quick.

Thinking about it, he strongly clenched his fists. Energy surged within and all the bones in his body cracked.

Actually, this was to be expected, but why did he feel so annoyed when he thought about it?

After he finished his tribulation, he was going to deal with all these people!

Then, his brow rose up and the rage in his chest calmed down.

Zong Shou sighed once more. He knew that the reason why he had such thoughts wasn’t because he wasn’t shrewd enough and wasn’t calm enough, but because he was getting close to the tribulation and his heart demons had begun to rise up.

His Heart Realm wasn’t calm, which was why he would have such violent thoughts.

Just as he thought about it, a voice spread out from afar, “Thank you this time!”

Without needing to turn his head, Zong Shou knew that it was Aokun. He scolded out in his heart. Why did these people always like to scare him from behind?

He didn’t turn around, just asking curiously, “There’s no need to thank me. I won’t miss a chance to kill Yuanmeng. I just wanted to ask. Brother Ao and the Taoist Faction seem like enemies?”
