Seduce The Villainess (GL)

Chapter 355  The Hunter Who Killed Immortals (106)

(Central Region- Lrien Kingdom)

(Jade Leaf City)

"Today truly is a beautiful day to go outside," a voice cheerfully spoke.

A beautiful woman with dark brown skin wandered through a crowded marketplace where dozens of stalls, shops and vendors had set up.

Her features were a harmonious symphony of charm and grace. Almond- shaped eyes, a cute hawk-shaped nose, gently shaped brows, and sharp cheekbones which jutted out prominently against her skin.

Her body was thin and slender almost like a twig with skeleton-like arms and a physique that clearly displayed that she barely trained or ate properly.

Still her skinny appearance was covered by the pure green robe that she wore so most onlookers were unable to see the flaws in her body shape.

She was accompanied by a mysterious figure who wore a silvery grey mask over her face and similarly coloured robes.

The woman with her face hidden hummed in acknowledgement and carefully looked around at the different items on display to see if anything seemed interesting.

Xu Lu stretched out her arms and moved her body to the side to avoid a wagon that was travelling along the road. Inside the wagon she could see many cages filled with spiritual beasts and bizarre looking animals.

"Come on darling… don't get lost!" her companion happily spoke as she slowed down her steps and looped her arm around Xu Lu's with a fluid motion.

"Thank you mas… sect leader," Xu Lu corrected herself mid-sentence as she allowed herself to be dragged along by Yang Xia who was wearing an intricate disguise.

The illusion technique that she used on her body was perfect. Her appearance was completely transformed and if Xu Lu did not know any better, she could have sworn that Yang Xia was a completely different person.

It did not help that she displayed a carefree personality while in her disguise.

"It really has been quite some time since we had the opportunity to leave the Nature Guardian Sect," Yang Xia sighed heavily as she leaned against Xu Lu's shoulder and stared off into the distance.

"I agree sect leader… but the city cannot compare to the natural beauty of a forest," Xu Lu quickly follow up on her master's words and tried to sound as casual as possible.

Naturally in order to get close to the meeting of the 'righteous' sects they could hardly walk through the city where it was being held declaring their identities as demonic cultivators.

Xu Lu was in no mood to be thrown into prison one more time and she was pretty certain that this time her old sect leader would not take any chances.

"Shall we go over to registration? You are the pride and joy of our humble sect," Yang Xia proudly declared as she unhooked her arm from around Xu Lu's and pointed in a certain direction.

In the center of the city was a massive structure that had been constructed over the last twenty years in preparation for a single week of activity.

The Grand Arena.

Enveloped by towering walls of intricately carved stone and marble, the arena spanned the width of a circular expanse of land capable of seating thousands of spectators.

The walls rose slowly upwards with steep tiers which separated the different classes of spectators and allowed those at the top of the stands to get the best views.

Ancient runes and arrays had been etched into the sides of the walls and they glowed eerily with pale bluish light. The purpose of the runes was a mystery except to the tournament organisers and the heads of the four major clans.

This was the place where representatives of the younger generation of various righteous sects would compete to determine the allocation of resources over the next few hundred years.

A momentous occasion.

There was an enormous sense of responsibility and pressure placed on the young men and women who were chosen to fight on the behalf of their sect.

It was not an exaggeration to say that for the small to medium sized sects this event was simultaneously a once in a lifetime opportunity or a path to ruination.

Raw talent alone was not enough to win.

Xu Lu followed her master through a long and winding road that Of course, the top spots always belonged to the four great sects. The saints and saintesses chosen by the four were not only talented but had also been given numerous elixirs, cultivation resources and training.

Raw talent alone was not enough to win.

Xu Lu followed her master through a long and winding road that led directly to one of the arena's gates. She could see a small line forming in front of the gate and two cultivators stood with bored expressions on their faces.

In the middle of the cultivators was a large obelisk that hummed and throbbed with power. Xu Lu watched carefully as someone in the line would step forward and approach the obelisk.

"State your name and the sect that you represent," one of the guards spoke with a dull tone.

"Sun Jianyu! I am the saint of the Golden Harmony Sect!" the young man in front of them declared loudly. He wore a long flowing gold robe, and his hair was adorned with precious metals and jewellery.

"Place your palm on the obelisk and register yourself," the other guard replied with no change in his facial expression as if he was not impressed by the young man.

"Fine!" Sun Jianyu huffed angrily.

He approached the obelisk and made a great show of approaching the stone's surface with his palm without touching until one of the guards got fed up and shoved him forward.

"Hey! I was…" Sun Jianyu's voice trailed off as his right palm made contact with the obelisk and a series of cryptic runes lit up along the edges of the stone.

"Qi spirit stage, one hundred years old, alright you have registered," the guard lazily spoke as he dismissed the young man who glared furiously at him before ultimately turning around and walking away.

"Isn't that obelisk amazing Wu Fangmei?!" Yang Xia excitedly whispered for all those around them to hear.

"It can not just see your cultivation level, but it can also detect if you have spiritual or demonic energy inside of your body! That's why those evil cultivators have failed to disrupt the tournament."

"I see…" Xu Lu nodded thoughtfully and curled up her fingers into a tight fist.

She knew what her master was implying. Honestly when Xu Lu first heard her master's plan, she thought that she was crazy but the more she thought about it…

The more appealing it was.

She had told Yang Xia about the unicorn in her dantian and how it still produced spiritual qi which gave her master the perfect idea.

What was a better humiliation than having the successor of the Crimson Demon Sect defeat all the representatives of the righteous faction in direct combat?

And Xu Lu had not told her master, but she had a secret plan as well.

The original Xu Lu always wanted to be proven as the best in the younger generation, but she had missed the tournament in the original timeline due to the actions of her old master.

Xu Lu wanted revenge.

She wanted to win this tournament and then…

Reveal her identity to the world.
