Chapter 198: Authority, Zhou Tong’s “Betrothal Gifts” to the Little Demoness
“Boom!!”
The terrifying explosion echoed through the place of inheritance, stirring up enormous clouds of dust.
The Little Demoness’s expression was frigid as she stepped out of the pool, endless rays of light converging around her, intertwining to form exquisite robes.
At that moment, she was significantly different from before.
As soon as she returned to the Celestial Master Clan, she was named the Virgin Saint.
There was no other reason; it was simply because of her tremendous contributions.
Since she presented the first seventy Ignorant Seal Talismans to the Celestial Master Clan, the clan’s strength began to soar, leaping to become a top-tier family in the Central Continent.
However, that was not the most important part. After the Celestial Master Clan learned the seventieth talisman, their first layer of shackles was completely removed.
From then on, all talented talismancers could smoothly advance to the seventh-tier talismancer without fear of heavenly tribulations.
Yet, not everyone in the Celestial Master Clan felt grateful toward the Little Demoness.
The reason was simple: jealousy.
Originally, in everyone’s eyes, the Little Demoness was just a lowly material, destined to be consumed, even less than a servant.
But turned out, she became the lofty Virgin Saint, and within the entire Celestial Master Clan, no one could suppress her except the Family Head.
This led to the elevation of her parents’ status as well; previously, they had to bow to others, but now, the ones who should bow would be replaced.
Amid such a stark contrast, it was natural for some to harbor resentment.
“Get out here.”
The Little Demoness said coldly, and as the dust settled, three figures descended from the sky.
Among them were two familiar faces, You Feng and You Chong, but leading the group was a tall and sinister-looking young man.
Seeing him, the Little Demoness frowned; he was named You Chuan, a direct descendant of a certain Senior Elder in the clan.
“You Cold Moon, you have quite the audacity. Are you trying to kill us?”
You Chong, still haunted by fear, recalled that the previous attack nearly eliminated him!
“Dare to trespass into the prohibited inheritance grounds? Do you understand this is a death sentence?”
The Little Demoness emanated a chilling killing intent; the source of her material essence had long been separated, baptized, and reborn, and her strength had surged enormously.
The aura she now displayed had evidently reached the level of the Fivefold Realm of Life and Death!
Facing the oppressive aura, You Feng and You Chong’s faces changed instantly.
“Hmph… Do you really think of yourself as something special?”
You Chuan sneered from the side, waving his hand to block the Little Demoness’s momentum.
At the same time, his own aura began to radiate.
First-layer Reincarnation Realm!
Although it looked incredibly impressive, he was no longer young; he simply looked young, but had already surpassed sixty years of age.
“And what are you? Do you think you have any right to speak here? Are you all trying to rebel by not bowing before the Virgin Saint?”
The Little Demoness showed no fear and reprimanded directly.
Upon hearing this, the other’s expression changed, then sneered coldly.
“Take a look at this!”
He pulled out a token from his bosom, a Senior Elder’s token wielding immense authority.
With a loud bang!
The token exploded as the Little Demoness struck it to pieces.
“Besides the Family Head’s token, nothing else can show authority in front of me. Now that you’ve met the Virgin Saint without prostrating and dared to trespass into the inheritance grounds, you have already committed a death penalty. Why don’t you kneel and accept your punishment!”
“You dare to act so presumptuously! Do you truly think you can challenge me with a mere feather as your authority?”
You Chuan was completely enraged; he was the grandson of a certain Senior Elder. Who in the clan would dare to speak to him like that?
What does clan law matter? Could it actually punish him?!
And now, a mere material dares to flaunt their power in front of him, utterly unaware of their own mortality.
“Boom!”
His aura suddenly grew ominous, ready to strike.
“Do not act rashly!”
The usually composed You Feng’s expression changed; things would escalate if they fought here.
“I merely want her to recognize her place; don’t think that just because you obtained the title of Virgin Saint, you can look down on others!”
You Chuan’s smirk showed no fear because someone powerful stood behind him, and everything was orchestrated by those prominent figures!
…
With a bang, in the Celestial Master’s conference hall, You Qingfeng smashed the table before him to splinters.
“This is outrageous; it’s simply lawless!”
The old man was furious. The moment someone intruded into the inheritance grounds, the image of that place appeared in the conference hall.
“That You Chuan deserves to die!”
He stood up to head toward the place of inheritance but was blocked by others.
“It’s just a sparring session among the younger generation; why make such a fuss?”
The one who intervened was You Jinglei, also a Senior Elder of the clan, and the grandfather of You Chuan.
“Spar? What absurdity!”
The old man shouted, “That You Chuan has already breached the rules; how can it be glossed over as sparring? He must be punished!”
As soon as these words came out, the other’s face darkened.
“Brother Jingfeng, you’ve overstepped!”
“For the sake of a lowly material, do you really wish to lay hands on our clan’s genius?”
“What did you say!”
You Jinglei’s eyes widened in fury, “That is our clan’s Virgin Saint!”
“Haha… What a grand joke! The daughter of a sinner is worthy of being the Virgin Saint? That is merely a means to pacify her!”
You Chuan mockingly stated, “I didn’t expect her to be so ungrateful, clearly mastering supreme secret arts yet only willing to offer a portion. This shows she harbors ulterior motives, and her crime is unforgivable!”
Upon hearing this, many elders of the Celestial Master Clan nodded, eyes gleaming with desire.
Since they learned of the effects of the Ignorant Seal Talismans, they had gone completely mad over them.
Simply learning the seventieth talisman could resist the first level of heavenly tribulation; if they could obtain the ninetieth one, wouldn’t they be able to mass-produce ninth-tier talismancers?!
“There is nothing to discuss; she must surrender all ultimate skills. If she dares to disobey, don’t blame us for using coercive means!”
“You are ungrateful!” You Jinglei admonished.
“The Senior Elder speaks incorrectly. The Celestial Master Clan raised her; everything about her should be used to repay the family. It is already a tremendous blessing for her to escape with her life!”
“Moreover, we also honored her as the Virgin Saint; if she knows what’s good for her, she should obediently cooperate.”
“Boom!!”
You Jinglei unleashed a formidable aura; mere words would no longer suffice; now fists must talk!
At that moment, the Little Demoness in the image suddenly made a calming gesture, which stopped his movements.
“Girl… can you handle this?”
The old man expressed worry, ready to strike at any moment.
…
“Talismans sixty-eight, Thunder Roar Cannon!”
Within the place of inheritance, You Chuan unleashed the Ignorant Seal Volume and launched a frenzied attack on the Little Demoness.
“Hahaha… Did you see? This ultimate skill can only exert its power in my hands. In yours, it would be a waste!”
“Boastful!”
The Little Demoness dodged the lightning, looking down on him with disdain.
“If it weren’t for me bestowing you the cultivation methods, you wouldn’t have even crossed the threshold of a seventh-tier talismancer. And now you dare to strike against me, truly heartless!”
At her words, a flicker of anger crossed his face!
“A joke! I am a peerless genius. Without you, I can still break through.”
“Is that so?”
The Little Demoness smirked playfully, “Then I’ll retrieve all the Ignorant Seal Talismans you’ve learned.”
Upon hearing this, not only You Chuan but even the elders in the conference hall stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their ears.
Retrieving ultimate skills? What a joke! Who does she think she is?
Everyone disbelieved, yet no one noticed that within the palm of the Little Demoness, a strange rune was shimmering.
Authority Conferred!
This was bestowed upon her by Zhou Tong before parting; with this mark, the Little Demoness could wield the rights to freely utilize the Ignorant Seal Talismans!
