Master Lim and Tan stayed silent for a moment. This option was certainly far better than failing to find the Spiritual Black Charm. Even if it does come at the cost of needing to rely on a junior.
Master Tan soon relented. He internally sighed but kept a calm face. "Since it's so, my team will be heading down this path. Is this the same as martial brother?"
He pointed directly down to where Lan Rui had nudged her head.
Not even a twitch shifted Cain's face. But he was quite happy at Master Tan's response. Things would've been troublesome if they were to separate.
Cain knew he had to get the Spiritual Black Charm. No matter if he had to go through three Holy King masters for it.
"Well then? Let's not waste any more time. Who knows what other traps await us on these islands?" As Cain spoke, he took the lead.
He, a Divine Star expert, posed as the seeming leader of a Holy King group.
But not a single soul complained. Everyone filed into order as they trailed behind Cain.
...
Outside the Frost Islands. In the Frost Syndicate Town.
At this time, within the base of the operation of the Frost Syndicate, a cold storm swept through the entire manor.
Terrifying chills could be felt at every level. All walking through shivered uncontrollably. This cold wasn't natural. Powerful Divine Laws were infused into the cold. Such laws were twisting the fabrics of space, unleashing cold beyond comprehension.
The cold was far too suffocating. As if the god ice was unleashing a frozen fury. The weaker Divine Star experts were frozen into complete ice blocks!
"This-this...is it senior master?! What-what has gotten him so worked up?"
"I can't imagine why. Senior master has been inactive for so many years! Why come out now? And with such hostility?"
The peak Divine Rulers and half-step Holy King masters were all discussing among themselves.
This could be called an unprecedented situation. Yet, not a single person had a clue why.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt this time, high up in the manor, a terrifying man sat with a ferocious expression. Boundless holy rays of light spewed from his body. The luminous light made him seem ethereal.
None would be able to properly. Or even come inches close. His presence alone can crush weak cultivators to blood mist. His Supreme Divine Laws stand at a far higher order than anything else!
This was the true master of the Frost Syndicate, Master Lao.
Master Lao was an old and experienced Holy King master. It would be rare for him to exhibit the slightest of emotions.
But at this moment, his killing intent overloaded into a terrifying ice storm that ravaged the world!
'Damnit! Damnit! I told that brat to never grow conceited! And he just went up and got himself killed! By a Divine Mortal no less...' Master Lao wearily sighed.
The grief of losing his actual brother struck him down to his soul. He was completely frustrated. Full of unending killing intent!
But, Master Cao knew he couldn't simply wage war on a Divine Mortal. This isn't some random Holy King. Or a Holy King that came from some average power.
No. This was a genius among genius. An extreme figure with an incomparably bright future and a powerful backing!
Things were impossible to do out in the open. Thus, if he wants revenge. If he wants to soothe his surging soul, things would need to be done with careful planning.
Master Lao brought out a contact ring. His eyes maliciously glinted as he contacted a half-step Holy King. "Zhao Wei. Forget everything you're doing now. There is something urgent we and many other needs to do now."
....
At the edge of the Frost Islands. Right where Cain had completed the treasure spear trap island.
Three immense presences suddenly rippled through the atmosphere. Holiness descends into the world. No mortal or weaker cultivator could resist this divine force. Their Supreme Divine Laws can torch the air and melt the fabric of space itself.
Of course, it was the three silver sun Holy King members.
They all appeared absolutely disgruntled at this moment. Not a single one of them looked the slightest bit pleased or had the supremely confident posture of a Holy King master.
Frustration and killing intent swelled through them and could not leave their minds!
The sole woman of the group was raining curses from her mouth. "Fucking hell! Just what kind of damn luck do we have to encounter some random Divine Mortal?! And for that brat, he really thinks he's an experienced master of cultivation!"
"Haaah...calm down, sister Bai. Complaining and getting even more frustrated won't solve anything." The other man in the group wearily sighed.
He was called Master Zhao, and their group leader was called Master Zee.
At this point, Master Zee crossed his arms with a grave expression. "I am unwilling to just let this go. I'm even more unwilling to let those damn silver falcons get the Spiritual Black Charm first. With that, our Holy Land can go under a surge for more Divine Rulers and other Holy Kings! We can only imagine the consequences if those silver falcons succeed."
"But...just what can we do about it?" Master Zhao shook his head in a helpless tone.
The trio was unwilling to simply return back home. Who knows what would happen by the time they got back up? Everything would be for naught if the silver falcons had already returned home.
At the same time, they were outnumbered by the presence of that Divine Mortal.
The answer seemed wrapped up in mystery. Holy King masters would rarely pray for luck or some mystical force, such as a miracle.
But that did not apply to the silver sun members at this moment. They all subconsciously wished for some kind of miracle.
Everything was silent and normal. The three Holy Kings were in heavy contemplation.
But in the next second, the whole world had changed!
The speed was far too quick. It was celestial, an immortal type of speed that could not belong to most Holy King masters!
Time seemed to slow down and space lost all meaning beneath this speed.
A ray of light tore right through the void.
None of the Holy King masters could possibly react. The ray of light appeared right behind Master Zee and instantly manifested into a solid figure.
The appearance and presence of a terrifying, cold woman descended into the world.
Rays of her holy light suppressed everything. The speed demoness frightens anything she visited. Her Divine Laws could instantly kill without anyone knowing. It was as if every move of hers could control a world.
The silver sun members all froze, horror rapidly rising in their eyes. A voice slithered right into their ears.
"Troubles with a Divine Mortal? Tell me more about this Divine Mortal?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe womanly voice flowed like the calming wave of water. Yet, it also exuded the freezing sensation of death!
"Who is-you?!?" The silver sun members all jumped back. Their faces lost all color when looking at the mysterious speed demoness.
That cold smile curling her lips. The supreme confidence that oozed from her body. The insidious killing intent that covered the entire island.
The silver sun members knew exactly who this demoness was. She was far too infamous in this region. Her presence alone made it even slightly difficult for the Holy King masters to breathe.
Master Zee blurted out, "Ma-Master Hua?! What a pleasant surprise..."
A strained smile curled his and the other lips. No one dared to call her by her real title.
The speed demoness!
The silver sun members knew they were powerful together. But their speed wasn't anything compared to Master Hua.
Even in this situation where they were alert, the silver sun member knew that Master Hua can completely ruin them. And possibly kill one of them before they could escape.
Antagonizing such a terrifying Holy King would be foolish. Hence, they needed to put on their best smiling faces.
"Well, well. You know about me?" Master Hua casually crossed her arms, that cold smile never leaving her face. "My reputation sure does succeed me, huh? And I see you all are a bit stressed. Come now. You three can relax. I only want to know more about that Divine Mortal. I have some business with him."
'Business with a Divine Mortal?' The silver sun members could only sweat even more than they already are.
They would, of course, take in numerous factors for trying to provoke a Divine Mortal. Failure to kill that Divine Mortal would lead to disastrous consequences. Some of which may not be survivable.
Either the background of a Divine Mortal can flatten them. Or the Divine Mortal themselves can simply grow strong enough to take revenge.
This is why the silver sun members didn't bother trying to put up a struggle against Cain and the silver falcon members. Things were far too unbalanced in their odds.
Many cultivators would agree that the silver sun members' decision-making was correct.
Holy King masters were proud and confident. They rarely would need to consider the fallout of their actions.
But none of them were foolish or brazenly arrogant.
However, there are always exceptions to rules.
And this demoness Master Hua is one of the most terrifying exceptions.
