874 Heaven-Defying Brother Jiu, The King Returns! (3)
Master Sang sat high up in the air at the master seat and casually sized up the holy maiden. “You said you’re the Saintess? What evidence do you have?”
The Saintess walked to the screen inlaid with the Saintess Stone and placed her hand on it. The Saintess Stone on the screen was all emitting a dark green light.
The strongest Saintess in the history of the Lan family, the Saintess in green, Lan Ji!
Master Sang narrowed his eyes slightly. “You’re indeed the Saintess, but why do you have to disguise yourself as someone else?”
“This has nothing to do with you,” the Saintess said impatiently.
A trace of coldness flashed across Master Sang’s eyes, but he smiled and said, “I didn’t know it was the Saintess. I apologize for not welcoming you early.” As he spoke, he stood up and cupped his hands at the Saintess, giving his seat to her. “Saintess, please take a seat.”
The Saintess said arrogantly, “So be it. Give me a courtyard and get someone to prepare water. Find a few clean clothes. I need to take a bath.”
Master Sang rubbed his chin and laughed. “This… doesn’t seem appropriate. It’s not that I’m unwilling to entertain the Saintess, but…”
The Saintess raised her chin and interrupted him. “There’s no need to pretend. I know that Sikong Yun is in the Sang Manor, and I also know that you and the Sikong family have completely fallen out. You were the ones who caused the commotion in the Nether Mountain last night, right? You didn’t succeed, right? You want to deal with the Sikong family, I’m the same. We have a common enemy. Why don’t we join forces?”
Master Sang said cunningly, “You’re just a stray dog now. What can you help us with?”
The Saintess’s eyes turned cold as she said seriously, “You want to replace the Sikong family as the royal family of the Nether Capital. Without the approval of the Holy Temple, even if you win, it won’t be official!”
Master Sang lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. “Alright, I promise to join forces with you.”
The Saintess turned around and walked out of the reception pavilion.
“Take it.” Master Sang threw a small medicine bottle to her.
“What is this?” The Saintess took the medicine bottle and turned around.
Master Sang said indifferently, “It’s a pill that can increase your bloodline power. I don’t want my ally to be just a mere green-clothed saintess.”
Mere? Did this person know how precious a green-clothed Saintess was? The Lan family had been passed down for many years, and the most powerful Saintess was her!
“Don’t think I don’t know that your Lan family has a Saint King.” Last night, he had also sensed the aura of a Saint King near the Nether Mountain.
The Saintess clenched her fists and suppressed her jealousy. “So what? Do you think the Saint King can be used by you?”
Master Sang smiled faintly. “That’s why you can’t be too bad. Don’t lose too much to the Saint King.”
“Hmph!” The Saintess rolled her eyes angrily and left with the pill.
The Sang family’s pills really had miraculous effects. That night, the Saintess felt that her bloodline had changed. The Saintess Stone turned from green to blue, from blue to indigo. Until dawn, it actually vaguely emitted a few purple lights.
The Saintess sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at her hand in disbelief. “I… I’m the Purple-clothed Saintess?”
She was the Purple-clothed Saintess with the purest bloodline!
She was the purple-clothed saintess!
The Saintess was overjoyed and did not notice that the maidservant guarding the door had silently left. The maidservant came to Master Sang’s room and bowed respectfully. “Master.”
“How is it?” Master Sang asked.
“Elementary Purple-clothed Saintess,” the maidservant said.
Master Sang smiled meaningfully. “She can really touch the barrier of the purple-clothed saintess. As expected of a bloodline that’s once in a thousand years… Bring her over.”
“Yes!” The maidservant accepted the order and returned to the Saintess’s courtyard. She reported from outside the door, “Your Highness, the Master invites you.”
The bloodline of the Saintess had undergone a tremendous change. This was simply impossible. However, on second thought, no matter how impossible it was, it had happened. That girl could be pregnant with a Saint King, so what was so strange about her becoming a purple-clothed Saintess?
“The Saint King is still nothing. With my current strength, I can kill her with my pressure!” The Saintess was immersed in great joy. Even her expression became better towards Master Sang who had helped her turn things around. When she heard that he wanted to see her, she left without a word.
“Master Sang.” She smiled and greeted him.
Master Sang sized her up and smiled in satisfaction. “After not seeing you for a night, the Saintess’s strength seems to have increased again.”
The Saintess smiled faintly and nodded. “If my bloodline power increases, my strength will naturally increase.”
It was not only her strength that had increased, but her aura had also become much redder. She had never felt so energetic.
“Is the Saintess hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Master Sang asked with concern.
Look, look, her cultivation level had increased. This old thing’s attitude towards her was very different from yesterday. The Saintess said casually, “I’m not hungry. Did Master Sang look for me to discuss the plan to destroy the Nether Mountain and the Sikong family?”
Master Sang smiled. “There’s no hurry. I want to bring the Saintess to a place first.”
“Oh?” The Saintess drawled.
Master Sang looked at her and said, “It’s our Sang family’s forbidden area. Other than me and the experts in the forbidden area, no one else has been there, not even Yun’er.”
The Saintess raised her eyebrows and said, “Master Sang, are you showing me your sincerity? Thank you for the Sang family’s pills. I’m the Purple-clothed Saintess now. I, Lan Ji, am not someone who knows how to repay kindness. I will definitely help the Sang family with all my might!”
Master Sang glanced at her and cupped his hands. “I thank the Saintess first.”
The Saintess said arrogantly, “Aren’t you taking me to the forbidden area? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to the forbidden area so that I can kill the Saint King!”
Master Sang smiled. “Please.”
The Saintess and Master Sang entered the Sang Family’s forbidden area together.
The Lan family and the Sikong family also had forbidden areas, but they were far inferior to the Sang family’s size and mystery. At first, the two of them entered a cave. The deeper they went, the narrower the passageway and the dimmer the light. After walking for an unknown period of time, they arrived at a dark cave.
The cave was filled with the thick smell of blood, making one nauseous.
The Saintess covered her nose. “How long until we’re there?”
“Soon,” Master Sang said lightly.
The Saintess’ stomach churned violently, and the blood in her body seemed to be agitated uncontrollably. “It smells too bad. What do you want to show me? Take it out directly. I don’t want to go in anymore!”
“How can you not go in?” Master Sang turned around and smiled sinisterly. He was holding a Night-Luminescent Pearl in his hand. The faint light of the Night-Luminescent Pearl shone on his face, making him look like a malicious ghost from hell.
The Saintess’s heart skipped a beat!
Master Sang held her shoulder. “Do you know what’s down there?”
The Saintess lowered her head and realized that she was walking on a dark wooden bridge. Under the bridge was a sticky blood pool. No wonder the smell of blood was so strong.
Master Sang said sinisterly, “I originally planned to feed it with the Saint King, but unfortunately, I didn’t catch it. I think the Purple-clothed Saintess is not bad.”
The Saintess turned pale. “You!”
The Saintess suddenly struck out with her palm and sent Master Sang flying. Then, she used her qinggong and flew out of the cave. However, just as she was about to fly out of the cave, a pillar of blood surged over, wrapped around her body, and dragged her down the blood pool—
