Celestial God Cult, Judgment Division “Mortal Chang Qing, on suspicion of child trafficking, you are sentenced to life imprisonment.” As the judge spoke these words, the man below the high platform panicked instantly. “I already told you, the kid was lost! I helped him find his way back, why are you arresting me?” “Why? The child’s mother said it was you who took her child. You still dare to argue!” “Damn it… then why life in prison?!” Chang Qing shouted. “If we don’t teach you mortals a lesson, how will you learn what you should and shouldn’t do?” On the high platform, Ruotian sat on his throne, pointing his scepter at Chang Qing. “Ruotian! You decrepit old fool! I can’t believe I sold my life for a bastard like you. You won’t sleep soundly after I’m dead! Why don’t you just die already…” Before he could finish his curses, Chang Qing was dragged into an iron cage by two burly men and carted away from the Judgment Division. “Mom, why was the big brother who saved me taken away?” a child asked, watching the iron cage slowly depart. “It’s alright, that big brother is just being sent home…” The woman turned her head, and a man appeared before her. “Thank you for helping us pass judgment on the Master of Wind,” Ruoxuan said, handing a stack of bills to the woman and telling her not to speak of this to anyone. … “I’m lucky Sir Kagrey came to rescue me, otherwise I might have been stuck in that prison for life,” Chang Qing said, taking a bite of a bun. “By the way, is it really okay to be eating something this expensive during a war?” “Eat up. Lady White Wolf has already distributed the supplies we seized from the god army to the civilians. This is what was left,” Kagrey said with a smile. “White Wolf… so that’s her codename now…” Chang Qing muttered to himself. … “You’ve got some skill, boy, to be able to fight me for this long…” ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Shang Luo Ying held her ceremonial folding fan in her left hand and toyed with a butterfly knife in her right. Yan Seong, meanwhile, was panting heavily, his right arm covered in countless cuts, clearly caused by a powerful wind element. “Can you still go on? I feel like your attacks haven’t reached their peak yet. Convenient, since I haven’t shown my true strength either…” This single sentence sent a jolt of alarm through Yan Seong’s heart. “I’ve used almost all my strength, and I still haven’t hurt her at all…” Yan Seong gripped the hilt of his blade, and a powerful lightning element once again enveloped the longsword. “Still not willing to show your true strength? Or is it that… this is your limit?” Shang Luo Ying asked with a smile. Her words infuriated Yan Seong, making him want to cut the wretch down with a single strike. “If you won’t make a move, then it’s my turn. I’ve given you more than enough time…” Shang Luo Ying blew a gentle breath onto her fan, and all the air currents around them converged into it. “Go in peace!” With a light wave of the fan toward Yan Seong, a massive hurricane surged straight for him. “This…” Yan Seong raised his hand, slashing his blade against the edge of the hurricane, but he couldn’t pierce its center. The longsword began to bend under the assault of the wind element. “If this hits the city gate or the walls, this city is finished…” Yan Seong looked up, gathering all his strength into his hands to form a giant shield. “I didn’t expect you to have so much energy left to deal with me, but first, you have to survive this move!” Shang Luo Ying said. The butterfly knife in her hand was now also wreathed in a hurricane, and with a slash toward Yan Seong, the vortex instantly grew larger. “Damn it… I’ll block what I can,” Yan Seong thought to himself, but his mind was already sending a signal to the soldiers defending the city: “Get the citizens out of the city, as far as you can run!” “I heard him! Lord Yan Seong can’t hold on much longer! Get the civilians into the secret tunnels!” the soldiers shouted, one by one leaping down from the city walls and scattering in all directions. “You’re already a dead man, and you’re still thinking about them?” Shang Luo Ying asked. “No matter what, as long as a spark of humanity remains, you will surely fail!” Yan Seong roared with all his might, finally shattering the hurricane. He pointed his longsword at Shang Luo Ying. “I may not be able to kill you, but I will show you our resolve.” “If you weren’t my enemy, I might have even taken a liking to you. Unfortunately, I too must defend the sovereignty of the gods. Go in peace!” Yan Seong swung his blade, but she blocked it with a single slash, then used her fan to knock the longsword from his hand. It flew through the air and clattered to the ground. At that moment, Shang Luo Ying lunged with her butterfly knife, aiming a fatal blow at Yan Seong. He was powerless to resist and closed his eyes. “Insolence! Did you ask for my permission to touch my people?” Hearing the voice, Yan Seong’s eyes flew open. A figure had appeared in front of him, and a woman’s voice now echoed. “My apologies, my intelligence was still incomplete.” The person who had blocked Shang Luo Ying’s blade was the leader of the Local Serpent organization—White Wolf. “White Wolf…” Yan Seong stared at her, unsure if this was a hallucination or reality. White Wolf’s other hand glowed with a massive amount of water element, and she struck Shang Luo Ying with a palm strike. Shang Luo Ying coughed up blood and stumbled backward. “White Wolf? So you’re the leader of that mysterious organization. I remember, you’re also…” Shang Luo Ying thought to herself, then said aloud, “The Water Sovereign, to think you’d show up so soon. That palm strike was indeed powerful!” “You fall back. I’ll hold her off,” White Wolf whispered to Yan Seong, before flashing to Shang Luo Ying’s side. Before Shang Luo Ying could even marvel at her speed, a blade slashed across her body. With a cracking sound, Shang Luo Ying brushed the fragments from her body, staring at the woman before her. “That palm strike pierced through my elemental armor, which is why I coughed up blood. But I never expected you to shatter my armor with a single strike.” “You gods spend your days indulging in pleasure. We, on the other hand, train every day to fight you. This may be the very reason for your downfall,” White Wolf said. “Don’t underestimate our divine power.” A vast amount of energy began to emanate from Shang Luo Ying’s body. Watching her transform, White Wolf sensed grave danger. “Divine Reinforcement state. To think a mere human would force me to use my reinforced state to fight. I acknowledge you!” Shang Luo Ying said with a triumphant smile, but her voice turned grim as she slowly added, “But from this moment on, your life is on a countdown!”
