Chapter 374: Chapter 214 Visitors from the Spiritual Realm_2
 

For a moment, respect for the hermit on Canglan Island spontaneously arose.

Although the Spiritual Realm Gate had not disappeared, it no longer opened. According to the people from within the Spiritual Realm Gate, they were annoyed to death by a bunch of pigs and dogs!

Spiritual Realm.

Shui Xing Palace was one of the sects within the Spirit Sect of the Spiritual Realm, and although it could not compare with the top-tier sects, it was still one of the leading forces in its territory.

Inside a refined pavilion, a beautiful lady frowned and said, “What’s the matter with Jiao Ming? It’s been such a long time, and he still hasn’t returned.”

“Miss, perhaps Jiao Ming is detained while enjoying himself in the Inner Domain,”

A maid-like girl spoke.

“Hmph! The Inner Domain is a barren place filled with low-life people akin to pigs and dogs. What is there to enjoy? Jiao Ming is really too inefficient in his tasks. When he returns, he definitely needs to be disciplined.”

The beautiful woman hummed discontentedly, her words dripping with disdain for the Inner Domain.

“You are correct, miss,”

The maid nodded in agreement.

After hesitating, she added, “Miss, if your son-in-law finds out you ordered Jiao Ming to capture someone from the Inner Domain, what then?”

The beautiful woman snorted coldly and said, “Where has he dropped dead? What if he knows? Is he going to kill me over a bastard from the Inner Domain?

“It’s bad enough that he left his love everywhere, being promiscuous, but to associate with someone in a place as lowly as the Inner Domain and leave behind a bastard.

“It’s a disgrace; I, Tang Jinyan, am already the laughing stock for not being able to control my husband.

“If people find out my husband went to a place as vile as the Inner Domain and left behind a bastard, how could I show my face?”

Tang Jinyan grew increasingly outraged as she spoke.

“But miss, what if your son-in-law cares for that person? Moreover, if the child has extraordinary talent, the Mu Family might…”

The maid still seemed worried as she spoke.

“Care? What right does he have to care? Aren’t I his wife? Doesn’t he care about me? Talent? In a place like the Inner Domain, filled with people no better than pigs and dogs, what talent could there be?

“It’s nothing more than a stain on the Mu Family’s bloodline. If those clan elders of the Mu Family are aware, to avoid bringing shame upon the Mu Family, they would probably have long since disposed of the bastard.”

Tang Jinyan scoffed coldly.

“That damn Jiao Ming likes to frolic in lowly places, does he? Send Ping’er to the Inner Domain and catch the person. Tell Jiao Ming if he doesn’t roll back immediately, he might as well stay in that lowly place from now on.”

Tang Jinyan ranted irately.

“Yes, miss.”

The maid responded.

Between two large mountains at the Spiritual Realm Gate stood a grand palace built right in front of the gate. Two middle-aged men guarded the entrance to the Spiritual Realm Gate.

Two figures descended from the sky into the palace, replacing those responsible for guarding the gate.

“The Spiritual Realm Gate has been opened for nearly a year. The pigs and dogs that came from the Inner Domain were either killed or sent back. Isn’t it time to close the Spiritual Realm Gate?

“It’s not yet the time when the Spiritual Realm Gate should open to allow those from the Inner Domain with the Yu Ling to enter.”

The Martial Artist who came to replace the guards frowned as he spoke.

“Shui Xing Palace’s Jiao Ming has gone to the Inner Domain and has yet to return. According to the rules, we must wait for his return before we can completely close the Spiritual Realm Gate.”

The originally guarding Martial Artist spoke.

After the handover, a Martial Artist lamented, “Blood Demon has been dead without a trace; how could he possibly rise again? Aren’t we being overly cautious?

“Moreover, that member of the Taimiao Sect once entered the Inner Domain and killed the Blood Demon, burying him in the wastelands.”

Another Martial Artist sighed and said, “The calamity of the Blood Demon was feared even by the Divine Refinement Celestials. You know, the Blood Demon had risen thrice after defeat. Didn’t we assume we had completely destroyed him the first time?

“And what happened? He rose again, and the blood calamity once more swept through the Inner Domain.”

For a moment, all four fell silent.

Blood Demon, a figure impossible to bypass in the history of the Spiritual Realm Martial Arts.

A truly unparalleled demon, a slaughterer of countless lives, sacrificing millions of Martial Artists in blood rituals.

Risen thrice after defeat, even the exalted Divine Refinement Celestials had more than one or two fall to his hand.

In his last battle, the Blood Demon fled into the Inner Domain, followed by a pursuit of warriors, none of whom returned!

The second wave of warriors entered the Inner Domain, erasing all knowledge of the Spiritual Realm Gate, wiping out many records about the Spiritual Realm.

Even though a member of the Taimiao Sect went into the Spiritual Realm and killed the Blood Demon, no one dared to be careless. The complete closure of the Spiritual Realm Gate simply reflected the Divine Refinement Celestials’ desire to prevent the possibility of the Blood Demon’s return to the Spiritual Realm.

The Martial Arts of the Inner Domain ultimately had their limits. Even if the Blood Demon sacrificed the Inner Domain in blood, he couldn’t recover to his peak strength.

Once the time was ripe to re-enter the Inner Domain, there would be a chance to completely eliminate Blood Demon within it.

Based on the timing, the Spiritual Realm Gate was almost ready to reopen, and intelligence planted within the Inner Domain indicated that the Blood Demon had indeed disappeared.

After such a lengthy period without sightings, he might truly be dead.

“Twenty years ago, the Mu Family’s playboy spent many years in the Inner Domain and seemed to be searching for the Blood Demon’s traces, to no avail. The Blood Demon must be thoroughly dead.”

A Martial Artist spoke solemnly.

He pondered and continued, “Jiao Ming is from the Shui Xing Palace, and the wife of the Mu Family’s playboy is that miss from the Shui Xing Palace. When Jiao Ming went to the Inner Domain…”

Another person interrupted with a laugh, “These matters are of no concern to the likes of us; our job is but to obey the orders of the major Spirit Sects, and to guard the Spiritual Realm Gate here.

“Knowing too much isn’t good, meddling even less so; just do what we are supposed to.”

The rest nodded in agreement.

At that moment, a graceful figure walked over.

“Open the Spiritual Realm Gate.”

A woman clad in a pink dress, her face flushed, exuded enticing charm.

The Martial Artists guarding the Spiritual Realm Gate shuddered inwardly, daring not to look too much.

They hurriedly opened the Spiritual Realm Gate.

After the woman entered the Spiritual Realm Gate, one of them asked incredulously, “Is she the one from the Shui Xing Palace?”

“Yes, her name is Ping’er. It is said that…”

He lowered his voice, “Rumor has it that she’s quite promiscuous, often seducing young handsome men; look at her, always carrying such a seductive air.”

“What a pity; I’m too coarse-skinned and rough-fleshed, otherwise it would’ve been nice to indulge with her.”

One of them sighed while touching his face.

The other three nodded in agreement; Ping’er was known for her breathtaking beauty and enticing figure, and rumors had it she was knowledgeable in many arts.

The Spiritual Realm Gate opened once again.

The elites of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion all tensed up, wondering who else was coming.

A woman appeared.

Ping’er stepped out of the Spiritual Realm Gate, looked around with slightly furrowed brows, displaying a touch of disdain.

“This lowly place and its sparse Spiritual Energy.”

She muttered.

She had come to the Inner Domain in search of someone, but where that person was remained unknown to her.

“That bastard Jiao Ming, he’s been in the Inner Domain for so long and hasn’t returned. Could it be that the delights of this inferior place have beguiled him? Has he fallen for the women of the lowly lands?”

Ping’er cursed under her breath.

“As for the beauties of the lowly lands, however fair their appearance may be, how beautiful can they really be? No matter how pretty, they’re just lowly folk after all.”

She was somewhat irritable.

Had Jiao Ming not been inefficient, why would she have to come to the Inner Domain herself?

Suddenly, she lifted her head, looking towards a distant peak.

In an instant, she moved towards that peak.

The countenances of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s elites shifted.

“Pavilion Master, she’s coming!”

The man with the purple crown also showed an unsettled expression, clutching a jade token, slightly bowing as he conveyed through voice, “Everybody, show some respect.”

The elites of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion felt a chill in their hearts; they knew all too well that the elite warriors from the Spiritual Realm would not hesitate to kill at the slightest provocation.

Indeed, they regarded the Martial Artists from the Inner Domain no more than pigs and dogs.

They promptly bowed, awaiting the honored guest.

Ping’er floated over gracefully, and seeing the posture of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s elites, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

“You lowly ones are quite sensible, after all; let’s leave it at that, I won’t punish you this time.”

As Ping’er spoke, she inquired, “When the Spiritual Realm Gate opened, where did the person who entered go?”

Being a Divine Refinement Celestial, Jiao Ming must have caused quite a stir entering the Inner Domain for such a length of time. Surely any major power in the Inner Domain would know of his whereabouts.

“Response to the Celestial, we do not know where the senior has gone; after he entered the Inner Domain, there has been no news.”

The man with the purple crown spoke respectfully.

“Hm?”

Ping’er’s brows furrowed slightly, her gaze growing colder as she looked at the man with the purple crown.

“Celestial, every word of mine is true, I wouldn’t dare deceive!”

The man with the purple crown’s face was covered in cold sweat as he spoke hurriedly.
