986: Chapter 613 986: Chapter 613 Eryao just watched that enchanting woman, who had been in his Illusion Realm, continuously swinging her sword as if she was caught in a loop, like a ghost hitting a wall.
If she were facing an ordinary person, or a martial artist with low ability, this sword would indeed possess some power!
Eryao realized that this woman had undergone cultivation, and not just any cultivation—her ability was around the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the methods she used were rather unorthodox.
That sword was a Locustwood Sword, and as she swung it, it continually emitted Black Mist, filled with Ghosts and resentment coming from within the sword.
Eryao frowned more the longer he watched.
The woman’s attire and tactics were the same poor tricks used by the State Preceptor; how could a woman wield Locustwood Sword?
This Wood, associated with Yin, would bring misfortune to normal people if struck by her Magic Artifact!
Moreover, the food made from such wood, combined with the swinging of Ghosts and resentment, was meant to target him.
A mocking smile appeared on Eryao’s face.
Were these inferior tactics truly employed by his opponent?
But now, in order not to startle the snake by hitting the grass, he would let this person live until the evening!
If this woman desired to keep moving, then he would let her continue doing so incessantly!
Although Eryao felt that this woman’s presence here would disturb his Cultivation!
Right now, he was merely observing.
The Ghosts and resentment swung by the woman couldn’t find him, and under such an Illusion Technique, they couldn’t harm anyone!
They just drifted through the air, and now it was daylight, with sunlight blocked out in the room and the Taoist Temple’s Array in place; the daytime Ghosts were not frightened but could find no one to attack!
Unseen by others, these Evil Ghosts and Wronged Ghosts ran about restlessly, unable to find sustenance, and their emerging Evil Qi grew even more fierce as their master’s commands irritated them, causing them to run incessantly in frustration!
The Ghosts had also entered the Illusion Realm, thinking themselves in a vast, endless space, running and seeking, believing their target to be invisible when, in fact, they couldn’t find any trace of their opponent in such a vast area.
The enchanting woman, having entered the Array, was now aware of her opponent’s prowess, hence she feared a counterattack and sought to break the Array!
Her opponent’s Array was formidable.
These Wronged Ghosts and Evil Ghosts couldn’t leave, and without a method to break the Array, the longer the ghost-hitting-wall situation persisted, the more fearful she grew in her heart!
After everything she had done, she hadn’t expected to fail here.
She couldn’t sense any fluctuations in Spiritual Energy from her opponent, so how could he be so powerful?
She had never heard of such a figure.
Could he have come specifically for their Taoist Temple?
Could he be the opponent?
This peer was too formidable—who could have summoned him?
The people inside the Taoist Temple were unaware of the recent events that had unfolded in the Imperial Palace!
They only saw from afar the Heavenly Thunder strike down upon the palace, surmising that the palace’s Heavenly Master had mastered such an advanced Spell.
But the Heavenly Master within the Imperial Palace couldn’t be so young!
The woman guessed again and again.
In reality, she knew the State Preceptor; they were fellow disciples!
Though they communicated with each other, they engaged in different activities!
She also didn’t hear her senior brother mention having such a handsome and highly capable disciple!
Maybe she should probe a bit?
“Young Master, are you acquainted with the State Preceptor from the Imperial City?”
Eryao, who was meditating with closed eyes, suddenly heard this question!
Could this enchanting woman be acquainted with the State Preceptor?
“Acquainted with him?
What is your relationship with him?”
The woman paused her movements and originally frowned, but upon hearing the other party’s pleasant, youthful voice, it tickled her heart!
“I am his junior sister, Young Master.
My senior brother serves as the State Preceptor in the Imperial Palace.
We communicate from time to time, and I wonder how he fares?”
The woman didn’t refer to herself as a Taoist Nun but rather used the common address of ordinary women!
This person also employed Spells and evidently was not a woman of respectable standing!
Being connected with the State Preceptor made sense.
Perhaps the people here knew the State Preceptor.
If they were up to something in the Taoist Temple, did the State Preceptor know?
Or were they engaged in the same activities?
Could this be considered an organization?
“How dare you, nothing but a Hall Master within our Divine Sect, use such petty tricks in front of the Palace Master of the Divine Sect!”
The woman’s eyes flashed with fear; her previous probing convinced her that the person in front of her held a similar position, so there was no need to kneel or flatter him!
With such high abilities, she wasn’t moved upon entering.
He didn’t appreciate her charm; she had anticipated this but still found it hard to accept!
His abilities surpassed hers, and her Spellcasting didn’t affect him at all!
So he was indeed the Palace Master of the Demon Sect, which explained his handsome appearance!
Thinking that he was the Palace Master, she was only a Hall Master and had never met the Palace Master in person.
When they had met previously, it was always a masked figure whose voice was so aged; how could it be a youth?
Could the voice she heard have been disguised, or was the appearance of the youth also false?
The woman, upon having a sudden thought, asked: “Palace Master, why are you so young?”
Eryao had not expected to guess so closely—she was indeed a Hall Master of some Demon Sect.
He was still unaware of the specifics and could not give himself away!
“Hmph, the one you saw with the mask was my father; I am the Young Sect Leader.”
Although the woman was a Hall Master, their sect’s Palace Master was shrouded in mystery.
However, due to her femininity, she had ensnared her fellow disciples with her allure.
She learned a secret; their Palace Master had a son whose age she did not know—as mere sect members, they were not privy to such information!
