Chapter 534: Chapter 536: The Soul of the Ink Brush Flies
 

“Are you the head of this Nan Family?” The Temple Master of Mouse Despise Taoist Temple looked Nan Lingsha up and down, his eyes brimming with a hint of malevolence.

“The powers within Ancestral Dragon City-State have strict rules. Since you know this is Nan Family territory and still trespassed, you must be prepared to be executed on the spot,” Nan Lingsha said, her tone cold.

“Hmph, you kill people from our Daoist Temple, yet we came here only to inquire about the matter. Furthermore, even if we were to occupy this place, do you, a mere local clan, dare to oppose us? Be sensible, and take your people and get lost now. If not, this Sacred Forest will become your Nan Family’s graveyard!” threatened the Temple Master of Mouse Despise Daoist Temple.

“Less nonsense, get us what we want. This place is within the bounds of the city-state where different forces check each other. Don’t waste too much time!” At that moment, Elder Chen from the Great Zhou Clan interjected.

“Yes!”

The Temple Master of Mouse Despise no longer said anything and immediately dispersed his subordinates into the woods to search for the Thousand Years Yinsan Holy Dew and the even rarer Ten Thousand Years Yinsan Holy Dew.

The Time Wave had a significant impact on this Sacred Forest. Previously, the Yinsan Holy Dew aged ten and a hundred years that Zhu Minglang had harvested from the Nan Family seemed like abundant fruit in a garden, seemingly inexhaustible. And there was no shortage of the Thousand Year Yinsan Holy Dew, which could greatly enhance the Cultivation Base even of Monarch Level cultivators.

With such an abundance of Holy Dew that was more precious than gold, the forest was overflowing with it, impossible to collect in its entirety.

Elder Chen also felt his mood fluctuate at this moment.

The little Sacred Forest of Li Chuan could probably sustain a medium-sized power. The bounty here seemed even richer than that of the Cultivation Fruits from Absolute Ridge, probably due to the ancientness of this Sacred Forest!

It meant that Li Chuan itself had already held power over some secret realms, and during this Time Wave, they benefited the most!

No wonder Zhu Gate and Yaoshan Sword Sect, who were the earliest to station here, cooperated with the rulers of Li Chuan. They must have gone off to mine even rarer Spirit Veins!

“Elder, shall I deal with this woman?” asked the Temple Master of Mouse Despise Daoist Temple.

“Don’t create unnecessary trouble. Do you think our Great Zhou Clan and other sects can act as wantonly as your Mouse Despise Daoist Temple? Even if we are to do something, we cannot afford to give those stationed here any handle against us. Otherwise, our loss will outweigh our gain!” Elder Chen glared fiercely at the Temple Master.

So short-sighted, always thinking about committing those old crimes of murder and plunder. If it weren’t for the fact that the people from Mouse Despise Daoist Temple had their uses in gathering intelligence and engaging in unsavory deeds, Elder Chen wouldn’t have wanted to mix with such riff-raff at all!

“Strange, why is there no response from the people who went in?” a confused Arrow Master asked at that moment.

Elder Chen frowned, his gaze falling on Nan Lingsha as he asked coldly, “Are there Guardian Beasts in the woods?”

Nan Lingsha did not answer.

“I’ll go take a look. Keep an eye on this woman here. If she dares to make a move, there’s no need to be polite anymore,” said Elder Chen coldly.

With that, Elder Chen led a group from other Sects toward the Sacred Forest.

After the baptism of the Time Wave, the Yinsan Forest had grown exceptionally lush. Each Silver Fir tree was more enormous than ever, towering into the clouds, and the forest, imbued with a faintly sacred aura, looked peaceful and serene, as if it truly were a place where Holy Dragons were born.

After Elder Chen and the others entered, they quickly disappeared into the Yinsan Forest, with any sounds seemingly unable to escape from within.

As for the Temple Master of Mouse Despise, his lecherous eyes were now brazenly scanning Nan Lingsha, as if the national beauty before him—from her fair jade neck, slender legs, to her delicate waist—was an assortment of fine goods that dazzled the eye.

“Miss Ling Sha, all these people come from the forces of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent. Any single one of them could easily flatten the most powerful Sect Palace we had before. Perhaps we should cede the Sacred Forest,” Ling Tu whispered to Nan Lingsha.

Ling Tu was a slave bought by Nan Yuso in Monument City from the Ling Family of Lingxiao City at that time. Now, many remnants of the Ling Family had been taken in by the Nan Family and become house slaves, leading much better lives than those slaves in the Westland.

In order to secure more living space for his own people, Ling Tu was also loyal and devoted in the service of the Nan Family.

Unfortunately, he and Ling Xun were powerless to stop these people and failed to protect the Nan Family. Instead, they were trampled upon ruthlessly, and at this moment, Ling Tu was also full of annoyance and shame.

“Tsk, tsk, the little lass from the Nan Family, since you killed our people, our Mouse Despise Daoist Temple will settle this score with you, no matter what. While I, the temple master, am in a good mood, come over and give me a shoulder rub, a leg massage, and perhaps today you can pass unharmed!” the temple master of the Mouse Despise Daoist Temple said.

Seeing that the others had already entered the Sacred Forest, only their people from the Mouse Despise Daoist Temple remained, watching over the Nan Family members.

At this moment, wasn’t it up to them, the people from the Mouse Despise Daoist Temple, to do whatever they wanted?

By the temple master’s side, those few also wearing mouse-pattern headbands began to smirk lecherously. From the looks in their eyes and their sleazy expressions, one could tell what they intended to do was far from simple massages.

Even if they couldn’t kill arbitrarily, they could still have some fun, right? Otherwise, it’d be such a waste for a beautiful and graceful lady to stand there, all alone in her sorrow.

“Don’t go too far. You’ve already picked the Holy Dew of the Sacred Forest. If you’re overly greedy, we’ll fight you to the death right now!” Ling Tu said furiously.

The members of the Nan Family gathered together, their cultivation bases quite low, but their bottom line was the plundering of the Sacred Forest.

“Ling Tu, kill the rest of them,” Nan Lingsha said at that moment, her eyes like frozen moons seemingly devoid of any emotion!

“The rest of them?” Ling Tu was puzzled.

There were at least forty to fifty people from the Mouse Despise Daoist Temple. This small temple was more than the Nan Family could handle, even if they all joined forces…

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, a Peacock Velvet Ink Pen flew past with unbelievable speed, passing through the cheek of a mouse-patterned man who was smirking and flying out from the back of his skull.

Before the others could react, the Peacock Velvet Ink Pen had already sliced through another person’s neck. The man clutched his throat as blood gushed out nonstop, his body convulsing as he fell.

“Swoosh!”

Another surge of speed, and only the afterimage of the Peacock Velvet Ink Pen could be seen. This time, the murderous ink pen targeted the temple master of the Mouse Despise Daoist Temple.

This temple master indeed had some strength, reacting very quickly. With one iron hand, he fiercely caught the Peacock Velvet Ink Pen that was about to penetrate his forehead. The smile on his face gradually became ferocious and audacious.

“With just this little trick, you think you can…”

Before he could finish his sentence, an ink pen, like a cold star, flew viciously through the temple on his head, then emerged from the other side, dragging a thick thread of blood from its tail!
