Chapter 26: The Advent of the Vermilion Bird Saintess

At this moment, the Sword Peak Martial God Hall.

A graceful figure suddenly descended outside the registration office of the Sword Peak Martial God Hall.

She wore a moon-white gauze dress, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, her face exquisitely beautiful and ethereal, her eyes like stars, her temperament transcendent, like an immortal.

If Lin Yang were here, he would surely recognize that this person is Zhu Que, disciple of Luo Wuqing.

At the same time, before leaving, Luo Wuqing had instructed her to go to Heavenly Dao Peak to help Lin Yang guide the disciples.

Obviously, she did not go there.

—————————

Zhu Que's arrival caused a great stir among the Sword Peak disciples.

Heavens, isn't that the Vermilion Bird Saintess?

How does she have time to come to our Sword Peak Martial God Hall?

Nonsense, such a genius saintess naturally came to challenge the Sword Peak Martial God Hall to boost her combat strength.

I see, but the Vermilion Bird Saintess is really beautiful.

A disciple gazed at the Vermilion Bird Saintess, his face full of fantasy.

I advise you to shut up; rumor has it the Vermilion Bird Saintess most dislikes men, and especially despises men without strength. With your three-legged cat kung fu, I advise you not to have any ill intentions, otherwise you won't even know how you'll die.

After Zhu Que landed outside the Sword Peak Martial God Hall, she simply communicated with the registration office elder, then directly entered the Sword Peak Martial God Hall.

Even though Zhu Que has left.

But discussion about her continued among the Sword Peak disciples.

Among a group of disciples not far away, a black-clad youth stood straight, desperately sniffing the lingering fragrance of the Vermilion Bird Saintess in the air.

Giving roses leaves fragrance; when a fairy passes by, the scent is enchanting.

Ah, this is the feeling; I feel I'm about to fall in love.

You have no chance. A youth of about sixteen or seventeen stood up in the crowd, the youth wearing white clothes, with an extraordinary bearing.

He is precisely the monthly-level talent disciple who joined Sword Peak together with Shi Hao, named Fang Chi.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess, only someone like me, a monthly-level talent disciple, is worthy of her.

Upon hearing that.

The few disciples beside him hurriedly fawned and flattered, obviously not daring to offend him.

Having received a bout of flattery, Fang Chi also satisfiedly laughed: 'Today, the Vermilion Bird Saintess challenges the Sword Peak Martial God Hall; I will accompany her here until the end.'

Immediately, he found a spot and sat down.

—————————

Everyone was still discussing the Vermilion Bird Saintess, while Li Yilan also quietly arrived outside the Sword Peak Martial God Hall.

Although Heavenly Dao Peak and Sword Peak are one in the east, one in the west, the two peaks are far apart.

Fortunately, Li Yilan's strength had reached the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm, so it didn't take much time to reach Sword Peak.

At this moment, a five-story small hall stood before her; that is the Sword Peak Martial God Hall.

Under normal circumstances, only Sword Peak disciples are allowed to enter to train.

Under unusual circumstances, if disciples from other peaks wish to enter to train, they must first consult with the Sword Peak Sect Leader.

Of course, the most unusual is like Li Yilan, directly bringing the Sect Master's Token to challenge.

Li Yilan's reason for choosing to act against Sword Peak is also quite simple.

First, Sword Peak especially likes to oppose the master; second, the master finds it especially displeasing; third, I myself also find it especially displeasing, so we should give Sword Peak a reduction in its fiery energy.

At this moment, many Sword Peak disciples stood outside the Sword Peak Martial God Hall, chattering about the Martial God Hall.

From their discussion, Li Yilan also learned that inside the Sword Peak Martial God Hall, each level has a phantom of the strongest disciple left by Sword Peak since its founding; the strength of these martial god phantoms gradually increases from bottom to top, becoming terrifying.

The challenge method is also simple: one only needs to set up the martial god phantom's realm outside beforehand to enter and fight.

At the same time, she also heard some Sword Peak disciples discussing the Vermilion Bird Saintess, realizing that the other party likewise came to challenge the Martial God Hall.

Regarding the Vermilion Bird Saintess, she does not know.

However, being called a saintess, one would assume her talent is certainly strong.

She, who dreams of being number one under heaven, naturally is very interested in these disciples with extraordinary talent.

I don't know which realm's martial god phantom the Vermilion Bird Saintess is challenging; I wonder how great the gap between us is.

Immediately, she had no nonsense, directly coming to the registration office at the entrance of the Martial God Hall.

Hello, I want to enter for the trial.

At the registration desk, an old man with a goat beard said: 'Take out your Sword Peak disciple token, just register.'

Li Yilan replied: 'I am not a Sword Peak disciple.'

The goat-bearded old man's face instantly fell upon hearing that.

A non-Sword Peak disciple coming to challenge the Sword Peak Martial God Hall represents causing trouble; he naturally doesn't have a good expression either.

He was about to speak.

Li Yilan directly took over the conversation: 'I know you're going to ask me whether I have a letter of consent from the Sword Peak Sect Leader; frankly, I don't.'

Upon hearing that.

The goat-bearded old man immediately narrowed his eyes; obviously the other party is here to cause trouble, he was about to shout for help.

Pa!

Li Yilan then placed the Sect Master's Token before the old man, her expression calm and composed.

May I enter now?

When out and about, she represents the people of Heavenly Dao Peak; naturally she will not be timid.

The old man took a close look, and the goat-bearded one was so frightened he became nitpicky.

Can!

Sure, of course I can.

May I ask, fairy, which realm's martial god phantom do you wish to challenge?

The old man immediately became respectful; earlier a Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden had come, and now another person carrying a sect master's token has arrived.

Moreover, this person looks pure and jade-like, gorgeous and captivating, with an extraordinary demeanor; surely they are not an ordinary person.

He is a clever little old man, so he naturally wouldn't offend the other party over this.

Li Yilan pretended to think, then said: 'I will challenge the early Nascent Soul realm.'

Her purpose in coming here is to enhance her combat ability; naturally she must choose to fight above her level, so as to feel pressure and make progress.

Upon hearing that,

The goat-bearded old man glanced at Li Yilan in surprise; among ordinary people, someone her age would at most be at the Qi Refining stage, yet she dares to challenge the early Nascent Soul martial god phantom—it seems her identity is no less extraordinary than that of the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden.

He said even more respectfully: 'Fairy, that's fine.'

The goat-bearded old man then began operating, and afterwards handed another token to Li Yilan, saying:

Fairy, I have already set up the early Nascent Soul martial god phantom for you; this is the Martial God Hall's token, which can record your progress through the trials. If you withdraw midway or no longer wish to challenge, it will contain your trial records and can also serve as a record card of honorable achievement.

Faced with the Martial God Hall token offered by the old man, Li Yilan merely glanced at it.

No need.

Such empty fame is merely superficial showy skills; to her, strength is what matters most, so she immediately seized the sect master's token and walked straight into the Martial God Hall.

She intended to clear the levels in one go.

Meanwhile, at this moment.

On another side, suddenly someone stood up beside Fang Chi and exclaimed, 'Hey, isn't that Li Yilan from the Seventh Peak?'
