Chapter 1713: Chapter 1713: Conversation at the Altar!
A blinding flash of light flickered from the woman’s hand, causing Wang Mang to squint subconsciously.
Only when the light had faded did Wang Mang see clearly what was in the woman’s hand.
At that moment, the order of the young clan leader had astonishingly become a crystal clear jade pendant.
The character for "abyss" was strikingly engraved on the jade pendant.
Wang Mang looked dumbfounded; he had not expected such a thing within the order of the young clan leader.
"System, what is this?"
No sooner had he spoken than the voice of the system followed:
[Ding! Answering the host: This is a Xi Jade, a symbol of love, commonly used as a token of commitment.]
???
After hearing the explanation from the system, Wang Mang was even more baffled.
A token of commitment?
Given that the order of the young clan leader was bestowed by the Eighth Patriarch upon himself, then...
Wang Mang’s eyes flickered towards the jade pendant, and after confirming the character was "abyss," a daring idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
Could this mysterious woman be an old acquaintance of the abyssal skeleton?
As Wang Mang’s imagination ran wild, the woman produced another jade pendant from nowhere.
Engraved on it was also a character, "escape."
While Wang Mang was confused, she slowly brought the two jade pendants together.
Bang!
As a crisp sound rang out, the two jade pendants astonishingly merged into one.
For a moment, the corners of Wang Mang’s mouth twitched wildly.
It seemed very probable; the woman’s relationship with the abyssal skeleton was decidedly not shallow.
"Young man, how do you intend to settle the matter of you killing the young clan leader of my seven divisions?"
"Hmm?"
At these words, Wang Mang was momentarily stunned.
"Who are you?" Wang Mang asked, full of confusion.
Meeting Wang Mang’s gaze, the woman said expressionlessly:
"I am the patriarch of the seven divisions of Qi Ling."
Upon hearing this answer, Wang Mang’s eyes widened.
He had not expected the patriarch of Qi Ling’s seven divisions to be a woman!
For a while, Wang Mang also felt extremely annoyed; the enemy had already been in his face before he realized it.
If she had really wanted to take his life, it would have been effortlessly easy.
Given that she might be an old friend of the abyssal skeleton, Wang Mang wasn’t too worried.
After all, if she wanted to act, there wouldn’t have been any reason to wait until now.
Still, he was unclear about what the woman’s relationship with the abyssal skeleton actually was.
"Senior, what is your desire?"
Looking at her breathtakingly beautiful face, Wang Mang spoke cautiously.
In response to these words, the woman did not speak but continued to stare piercingly at Wang Mang.
Meeting her gaze, Wang Mang also swallowed nervously.
What did this mean?
Half an incense stick of time passed.
An eerie silence enveloped the teleportation altar.
After a long time, she finally withdrew her gaze and spoke slowly:
"Not bad, one from the Undying Realm can indeed ’attack upwards’."
"How about you join my seven divisions?"
"What do you say?"
Upon hearing these words, Wang Mang’s first instinct was to reject the offer.
Joining someone else’s power was hardly as free as being alone.
There was also no need to swallow corpses.
But, considering the strength of the woman before him, Wang Mang replied diplomatically:
"I am someone accustomed to freedom and prefer to be unfettered."
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the woman was not annoyed, but instead, went along with his answer and continued: "It’s only a nominal title."
"Aside from clan summons, you can arrange your time as you wish."
"The competition for Stellar Domain Emperor is about to start, and at this juncture, you’ve killed our clan’s most promising Peerless Heavenly Talent."
"Juvenile, I’ve been courteous to you, but that doesn’t mean you have the qualifications,"
As soon as her words fell, her beautiful eyes hardened, and the piercing gaze fell upon Wang Mang.
An endless oppressive force seeped from her body, causing the teleportation altar to ripple slowly.
Seeing this, Wang Mang didn’t falter and silently commanded in his heart to the system, "Take out the ninth-generation ancient bronze coffin!"
The moment he finished speaking, the system’s voice followed:
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! The item has been successfully retrieved!]
The next instant, an even more profound and terrifying pressure emerged from the void.
Whisper-like murmurs, as though an ancient god was whispering, echoed in the ears of both individuals.
Wang Mang, well-prepared, naturally prostrated himself.
The woman standing opposite him, however, suddenly changed color and no longer retained her previous indifference.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the Ancient Bronze Coffin appeared between the two.
The sudden arrival of the object caused the teleportation altar to start rocking wildly, on the verge of collapse.
Feeling the irresistible pressure on her shoulders, the woman cried out in a delicate voice,
"What is this!"
"Such a..."
Before she could finish, a wisp of black mist suddenly surged out from the coffin.
An unparalleled sense of crisis caused her body to tremble violently.
Boundless divine light burst forth from her graceful body.
Powerful Dao runes emerged slowly, attempting to resist the creeping black mist.
Seeing this, Wang Mang thought disdainfully, still too young.
The next moment, Wang Mang silently commanded in his heart, "System, take back the ninth-generation ancient bronze coffin."
No sooner had he spoken than the coffin lying between them vibrated abruptly.
And then it disappeared into the void.
Along with it, the wisp of black fog also vanished.
The woman might be an old acquaintance of the abyssal skeleton; although her tone was somewhat haughty, Wang Mang did not intend to kill her.
Towards the patriarch who had been wholeheartedly devoted to him, Wang Mang still held great respect.
Since this woman appeared to be his old friend, Wang Mang did not wish to be too harsh.
At the instant the Ancient Bronze Coffin disappeared, the woman’s body went limp and she collapsed onto the teleportation altar.
Her proud peaks, like mountains, also heaved violently.
Seeing this, Wang Mang quickly averted his eyes, thinking in his heart, eyes shall not see what is improper...
"I respected you as an old friend of the abyssal skeleton, which is why I showed restraint,"
"There’s no need to speak of threats,"
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the woman finally came to her senses.
She swiftly stood up, straightening her somewhat disheveled attire, and her face once again regained its composure.
"Abyssal skeleton, huh, he indeed has raised an extraordinary junior,"
The woman glared at Wang Mang, teeth clenched in anger.
Hearing her words, Wang Mang just shrugged his shoulders.
"Senior, I am heading to the Divine Demon World, may I ask what are your plans?"
Seeing her about to explode, Wang Mang deftly shifted the topic, a wise move indeed.
Women truly are the most troublesome.
"Unclear, originally I was just drawn here by the token you produced,"
"I was intending to shatter this teleportation altar directly!"
Hearing her response, Wang Mang was rendered speechless.
"Where is this altar’s destination?"
"It wouldn’t be leaving the Endless Sanctuary, would it?"
Before Wang Mang could respond, the woman asked again.
"Uh."
"That’s not the case, the altar’s endpoint is the Divine Demon World."
"The Divine Demon World? What are you going there for?"
"Nothing much, just to take a look."
"Heh."
