Chapter 1548 - I Only Keep Cats, Not Dogs
The Sovereign's Ascension
The Azureflame Saint Lord and Indigothunder Saint Lord hurriedly entered the Hundred Flowers Valley upon receiving permission. When they swept their gazes over after entering, they immediately found Tian Xuanzi enjoying the flowers.
Tian Xuanzi was unfathomable in their eyes. He was right before them, but he gave them the feeling he was in a painting and out of their reach. It felt as though there was a barrier isolating them.
âSeniors, it has been some time.â Tian Xuanzi smiled, and his smile made all the flowers lose their luster in comparison.
âSeniors? We canât accept that. Donât tell me that you donât know Qin Xiao is dead!â The Indigothunder Saint Lord mocked.
âI just received the news, and Iâm greatly saddened by it. Mu Xuankong is too overbearing.â Tian Xuanzi was still smiling and showed no signs of sadness.
This only made the Indigothunder Saint Lord even more furious as he roared, âTian Xuanzi, you ingrate! Back then, when you hadnât become a saint, our Nether Divinity Clan supported you with resources!â
âI have long repaid the Nether Divinity Clan tenfold.â Tian Xuanzi replied. âThe three tasks I promised the Nether Divinity Clan have been fulfilled. Then again, Qin Xiaoâs death was too sudden, and I didnât expect that.â
âTian Xuanzi, stop acting. You allowed Jin Jue to leave on purpose! If youâre willing to make a move, how would things develop in this manner? You can kill an Elysium Core Realm genius with a wave of your hand, so thereâs no need for Jin Jue to take the risk.â The Indigothunder Saint Lord said.
âYouâre right.â Tian Xuanzi gently replied and didnât seem furious at all by Indigothunder Saint Lordâs words.
This nearly made the Indigothunder Saint Lord throw out a mouthful of blood. Right then, Azureflame Saint Lord, who was quietly standing beside him, asked, âSince you didât know about it beforehand, you wonât avoid it now, right?â
âThatâs for sure.â Tian Xuanzi replied.
âSince thatâs the case, Iâd like to ask the saint sovereign to ask the Radiant Sword Saint for an explanation on our behalf!â The Azureflame Saint Lord said. He was more composed than the Indigothunder Saint Lord, slowly pulling Tian Xuanzi into his trap with his words.
But Tian Xuanzi merely raised his head to look at him as though he was looking at an idiot. This instantly made the Azureflame Saint Lord furious, and he now knew why the Indigothunder Saint Lordâs temper was so uncontrollable when he talked to Tian Xuanzi.
âThe Radiant Sword Saint doesnât have a good temper, not to mention that you guys are the ones who started it. Are you guys sure you want to go? You guys arenât afraid to be slain by the Radiant Sword Saint?â Tian Xuanzi briefly paused before he continued, âIt looks like you guys donât know anything. Lin Yun isnât an ordinary Elysium Core Realm genius, heâs a disciple of the Radiant Sword Saint. The Radiant Sword Saint visited the Netherworld Hall not too long ago, slaying three saints in his trip!â
The Azureflame Saint Lord and Indigothunder Saint Lord exchanged a gaze, and they could see the shock in each otherâs pupils. After all, they didnât know about that because they had been in seclusion. But Qin Xiao was confident that the Radiant Sword Saint was old and he couldnât descend with another clone. Aside from the Radiant Sword Saint, Qin Xiao didnât think the Nether Divinity Clan would fear anyone.
Most importantly, Qin Xiao felt that the Sword Sect had declined, and they didnât have the guts to face the Nether Divinity Clan head-on. In the end, Qin Xiao was just courting death, and he wouldnât have died if he hadnât taken the initiative to send Jin Jue to the Sword Sect.
âDo the two of you still want to go now?â Tian Xuanzi looked at the two saint lords with mockery in his pupils.
The two saint lords exchanged a gaze and felt they had no dignity before Tian Xuanzi. The Azureflame Saint Lord asked, âWhat do you plan to do, then?â
âWe have a lot of time ahead of us.â Tian Xuanzi replied, and his reply made the two saint lords furious. They already knew that Tian Xuanzi wouldnât give them any face, but they didnât expect that Tian Xuanzi couldnât even be bothered to say something polite.
They really felt that the Nether Divinity Clan was blind to nurturing Tian Xuanzi back then. The Nether Divinity Clan lost a patriarch, and Tian Xuanzi was smiling.
âTian Xuanzi, donât think you can get yourself out of this. You sent Mu Xuankong a letter, right?â The Indigothunder Saint Lord questioned.
When he heard that, a cold light flashed within Tian Xuanziâs pupils, and he smiled, âLooks like the Nether Divinity Clan has a lot of undercovers in the Profound Sky Sect.â
âYou donât have to care about that. I want to know what you wrote to the Sword Sect!â The Indigothunder Saint Lord coldly questioned.
âThatâs between us, it has nothing to do with you.â Tian Xuanzi replied, and the atmosphere between both parties suddenly tensed up.
âHmph, talk to the ancestor if you have anything to say!â The Indigothunder Saint Lord snorted.
The Nether Divinity Ancestor was the strongest saint of the Nether Divinity Clan, who contributed significantly to the Divine Dragon Empire, thus receiving a title from the Divine Dragon Empire. Others think he was dead because the Nether Divinity Ancestor was active since the Darkest Era and had been around for over three thousand years.
But few people know that the Nether Divinity Ancestor was still alive within the Nether Divinity War Realm.
Tian Xuanziâs face finally changed, and he replied, âIâm not going anywhere.â
âYou donât have a choice!â The Indigothunder Saint Lord snorted before he disappeared.
âWatch out!â The Azureflame Saint Lordâs face changed, but it was already too late. The Indigothunder Saint Lord appeared before Tian Xuanzi and had reached out for Tian Xuanziâs right shoulder. The two were only an inch away, but the Indigothunder Saint Lord felt like a mirror had isolated them.
Tian Xuanzi ultimately made a move, reaching out with his right hand and grabbed onto the Indigothunder Saint Lordâs throat. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the Indigothunder Saint Lord didnât even have the time to react.
While holding the Indigothunder Saint Lord by the throat, Tian Xuanzi smiled, âYou want me to go to the Nether Divinity Ancestor? Why? Do you want me to seek forgiveness or have the Nether Divinity Ancestor punish me? Do you think the Nether Divinity Ancestor can easily hold my life in his hand like in the past? Do you believe that I wonât kill you here?â
The Indigothunder Saint Lord was suffocating with his face turned red. Tian Xuanzi was even more terrifying than a ghost in his eyes, which covered his back in a cold sweat. He didnât doubt that Tian Xuanzi would dare to take his life.
âTian Xuanzi!â The Azureflame Saint Lord exclaimed. But a cat hopped onto his head just when he wanted to help. This immediately made the Azureflame Saint Lord feel a chill run down his spine. It was just a cat, but it made him feel like he was sinking into the abyss.
As the cat yawned, the Azureflame Saint Lordâs legs began to tremble. âMisunderstanding! This is just a misunderstanding! Tian Xuanzi, let him go. I believe he didnât mean it.â
But Tian Xuanzi didnât respond, and he only looked at the Indigothunder Saint Lord with a smile.
âSaint Sovereign, Weâre at fault. This was just a misunderstanding!â The Azureflame Saint Lord continued.
In the end, Tian Xuanzi threw the Indigothunder Saint Lord away as the snow leopard cat hopped into his embrace.
âL-Letâs go!â The Azureflame Saint Lord could feel his scalp tingling as he quickly supported his companion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGo on.â Tian Xuanzi looked at the snow leopard cat in his embrace and continued, âOh, and I only keep cats, not dogs.â
The Indigothunder Saint Lord knew that those words were directed at them. After they had walked far enough away, the Indigothunder Saint Lord ranted, âIâll kill that sissy, sooner or later!â
When the Indigothunder Saint Lord said those words, the Azureflame Saint Lord knew that they were doomed and his legs began to tremble. Even the Indigothunder Saint Lord could feel a pair of eyes directed at him, and he instantly froze.
As the snow leopard cat hopped out of Tian Xuanziâs embrace, a terrifying saint aura exploded from Tian Xuanzi. The two saint lords were shocked to discover that they couldnât budge.
When Tian Xuanzi took a step forth, he had a decapitated head in his embrace upon appearing before the Azureflame Saint Lord. That head naturally belonged to the Indigothunder Saint Lord.
This made the Azureflame Saint Lordâs face pale. He knew that Tian Xuanzi was strong, but he never had a gauge of Tian Xuanziâs strength. After all, people would often neglect Tian Xuanziâs strength because of his feminine appearance. They forgot that Tian Xuanzi was someone who could face the Radiant Sword Saint.
âCatch.â Tian Xuanzi tossed the head over.
The Azureflame Saint Lord subconsciously reached out to catch the head. When he came to his senses, he wanted to throw it away, but he didnât dare to make any move when he saw Tian Xuanzi squinting his eyes.
âI suddenly changed my mind. Come, letâs go to the Nether Divinity War Realm.â
âSaint Sovereign, you must be joking.â
âNo, no, no. Iâm guilty and have to seek the ancestor's forgiveness.â Tian Xuanzi smiled as he grabbed onto the Azureflame Saint Lord and disappeared from the valley.
As for the snow leopard cat, it came over, dragging the Indigothunder Saint Lordâs headless corpse with its mouth covered in blood. In the next second, the entire valley trembled as all the flowers suddenly became sinister; they shot forth and started tearing the headless corpse into pieces.
