Chapter Quota of the Month: 4/5
*
Sona once again opened her eyes, and looked weirdly towards Ruzi..
'Eh... Do kids normally react like this?'
Ruzi found the whole situation amusing, the place was moving. So he moved here and there jumping in delight.
She was about to calm Ruzi when, Ruzi actually suddenly condensed a small sword and valiantly swung it around, then the room once again trembled.
it was a good thing that the whole interior of the Cheng Inn had protective runes over them, else this Cheng Inn would have fallen on the first blow from 'that' cultivator.
Really, as expected of the Inn that her Young Mistress have chosen.
Sona stood up and checked the protective mechanism inside their room. There were broken talismans falling around here and there, the defense was weakening and the sounds were becoming clear and crisp.
'They're not gone yet?!' Sona had veins popping on her head, normally cultivators would first go to an isolated space before actually exchanging blows, whether they're low ranked or high ranked cultivators!
Afterall no ruler would want to see their territories being thrashed around by cultivators who are randomly fighting. It was also a wonder as to why the Dragonsvein Kingdom's troops haven't stopped the fight yet.
Sona has honestly wanted to cultivate quietly so she could properly 'protect' her young mistress next time. This time, the scythe talisman suddenly trembled as it shouted.
'Extreme hatred! what kind of in-depth hatred is that?! Have someone's family been thoroughly shamed then sent to the River of Sphynx buck naked?' The scythe's voice asked excitedly, hatred means vengeance and vengeance meant bloodshed!!
Of course, the scythe thirsted for a bloody fight, he has been stored on the Underground Armament for too long, way too long! Back when he had first gained his consciousness he waas bathed on the blood of hundreds of thousands creatures, his precious owner spared none, be it mortals, cultivators, beasts, demons, etc. But one day his owner lost to an individual far greater than him, and then he has been stored on a spatial ring and before he knew, he was stuck in the armament.
He wanted to personally go out and challenge the cultivators fighting outside, but unfortunately, his soul is sealed with this servant! He could've accepted it when the one who sealed his soul used him, but he was actually given away so carelessly! How could the scythe casually accept this treatment?
'Hey! Little Girl hurry and go outside! What are you hesitating for? Now that I the Heaven-defying scythe is in your hands, is there anything to be afraid of?!
Of course, Sona only ignored the scythe, as she used her spiritual eyes to look at the transpiring events outside. Sona focused on watching the events outside, she did not notice the overly excited Ruzi sending icicles flying on the room, targeting the falling talisman.
"GU XIAO LI! YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!" The Xian Elder shouted, his Qi burst out as he used his ultimate skill, the secret skill of the Xian Clan
Heaven Burning Soul; Scorching Slash!
Gu Xiao Li looked at the incoming attack and could only smile bitterly, she has already exhausted every means to escape from Elder Xian's grasp, right now her Qi was already next to nothing, her breath ragged, body exhausted, only the protective silk armor that the Ninth Prince gave her was her last hope, if it holds up she'll live, if not then she'll die...
She hasn't been in this world for long and she was already about to die? Wasn't this quite ironic?
The heat reached her face and she couldn't help but close her eyes while her feet did not give up and continued to run. But at this moment a familiar figure suddenly entered her vision, he hugged her small and petite body, then took her out of danger.
*BAM* *BAM*
Booming sounds echoed out, dust and smoke flew around, temporarily covering the scene.
When the smoke dispersed almost half of the Cheng Inn was destroyed. Weirdly there were only signs of burning but the flames did not last long on the Cheng Inn's interior as if the Inn wasn't made out of wood.
The scene was long deserted as people didn't want to get involved in fights between experts.
"Hmmp!" The Ninth Prince finally arrived, his appearance was slightly off. His usually smooth jade-like face was slightly pale, and his eyes had a tinge of red, radiating with ferocious killing intent.
"Elder Xian, please do not make this scene any bigger. You have lost so much face already." The two alliance, the Dragonsvein Kingdom's force, and the Heavenly Palm Sect finally arrived at the scene to control the situation.
It would have been fine if Elder Xian has bought Gu Xiao Li outside and fought it out, but he actually used tricky methods and did not finish Gu Xiao Li nor dragged her outside the Kingdom to make her suffer, they have already caused so much damage within the Imperial Capital.
The Emperor seeing all the mess, couldn't help but feel his heart being pricked... All of this would be deducted on the Royal Treasury, ah! His mind reeled of methods to use against the Xian Clan, he needs to get a large compensation from them!
The Emperor looked towards the Xian Elder, they have already been accused of joining hands with the 6 pillar elders and they still dared to act so brazenly? It seems like they really do not put the Dragonsvein Kingdom on their eyes, ah!
The Emperor who was already sullen at the damage that his territory has taken, sealed the Xian Elder without another word. Then looking at his 9th and 3rd Son he could only sigh and say:
"9th, 3rd and that girl follow Us to the Imperial Palace!" The Emperor said, he then whispered something to his Imperial Guard on his side, then left the scene with Xian Elder on his custody. The guard flew down and assisted the 3rd Prince to leave the place.
--
While flying back to the Imperial Palace the Emperor's eyes narrowed down as he sent a spiritual message on Cao Xi, an elder from the Heavenly Palm Sect.
"Have someone investigate the one residing on the 2nd floor of the Cheng Inn." The Emperor said, but he did not expect for Cao Xi to go himself.
"Hahhahaha! Please, Brother Long, I'd rather do this menial task than watch a 'drama'" Cao Xi sarcastically said, the disciples behind them snickered slightly while the guards had hard time controlling their anger towards the Heavenly Palm Sect's people. After dropping that sentence, Elder Cao flew back towards the Cheng Inn.
The Emperor could only laugh bitterly at the situation, he has overlooked through all of his sons so they would not be easily be swayed by beauties, ah! But looking at that Gu Xiao Li girl, she wasn't even that good, from his perspective, Xian's eldest miss' facial features and bodily curves were more satisfying to the eyes, while that Gu Xiao Li looked extremely normal when he once applied pressure on her to test her. Her breathing became ragged due to the pressure, so her nose holes expanded for quick breathing and it looked extremely ugly so he stopped.
One must know that the Emperor has indulged himself in an aesthetic manner in every way so he didn't like looking at things that could not be appreciated.
---
Seeing the situation handled quite smoothly, Sona stopped watching them and stood planning to repair the damages on the barrier. Right now only their room took the smallest damage on the whole Cheng Inn, even the 'special' rooms that those 'group' have rented received a rather huge damage.
"Fuaaaaaaaaaaahm!" Ruzi suddenly shouted his Qi Blades cutting through one of the paper talismans, Sona's lips twitched as she forced herself to calm down.
The legendary cultivators who cultivate more than one element truly are terrifying, ah!
Sona was fully aware how those talismans could handle the blows earlier, but this young master of her's who is only at 2nd rank actually destroyed one while playing!
'Young Mistress, what if the Young Master destroys the talisman? Should I even punish him? But I'm only a servant!' Sona felt her head aching as she just ignored Ruzi, she distances herself to Ruzi and started at the very corner of the room.
'Good thing that the Young Mistress have left me with mass amounts of defensive talismans...Wait talismans? Just where did Young Mistress acquire this much of talismans? There's no way that she created this whole bunch... right?' Sona's mind reeled, as she looked towards the talisman.
Her young mistress have mentioned that she modified the Soul Binding talisman... Modified? A talisman?
Sona's head started to trickle down with sweat, that's impossible, right? She said in her head. For Sona's information, it was absolutely impossible for one person to amass such high-quality talisman by oneself, even if Rui Wei were to sell her bunch of Dowries it would still be impossible for her to buy this much. Then did she really create it? That also seemed impossible as she only started cultivating approximately 2 years ago... And with her current rank, her Qi would still be lacking to create such heap of Talismans....
As Sona indulge herself in deep thought, Ruzi also indulge in his own play turning the whole room into a freezer--
"Cold!" Sona snapped back to reality, looking around the room it seemed like it snowed for a whole day!
"Ah, young master please stop that--" Sona made her way towards Ruzi.
"Eeeeh~" Ruzi brought down his hands and stopped producing bone piercing Ice Qis, he pouted at Sona.
"Please don't be like that." She said as she started to clean the room.
"Boooh!" Ruzi ran down towards the bed to play with the talismans that Rui Wei left for him. The Talisman looked a plain old lucky charm, but once Ruzi inserted his Qi, the talisman shone and showed displayed different kinds of Magical Beasts.
Sona was busying herself on cleaning the mess that Ruzi created, while Ruzi was busy watching the talisman.
The talisman that Rui Wei created for Ruzi is similar to a 3d hologram that showed varied Magical Beasts, the Talisman played and showed the strength and weaknesses of the Magical Beasts. These beasts were what Rui Wei have previously encountered on her 'Practice' sessions.

"Ha, to think that 9th kid will end up like that... It's really a pity." Elder Cao originally wanted to take the 9th Prince as his Succeeding Disciple, but looking at how the Ninth Prince was attached to a mortal he couldn't help but sigh with regret.
He flew down the Cheng Inn and unceremoniously made his way on the 2nd floor.
"Wha-- What the hell? What's with this layers of defensive mechanism?!" Elder Cao's face twitched at the defense of a certain room, even their sect don't have this much of defensive layer, hey!
Elder Cao scrutinizes the defensive mechanism in front of him, but the more he looked the more he was shocked! The Defense mechanism was made by interweaving a bunch of talismans, creating a small formation but a solid defense.
Who would waste their time on layers upon layers of defense when they can just create an array formation for a more solid Defense?
