Chapter 811: Mistress of Three Saint Ind
The almost-divine zither music remained. The music was gentle, as if it were the changes in thews of the world, but as a sound. It seemed like it was using a special method to control thews, forcefully changing them and setting up its ownws, making the region be its own domain.
Both Jian Chen and Nubis became extremely grim. They looked upwards at the azure sky, filled with inexplicable horror. As Saint Rulers, they naturally could feel the changes in the region. Thews of the world were changed by the sound of a zither. The ability was inconceivable to the two of them.
The mysterious person who yed the zither already had a terrifying level of understanding for the zither.
The descending mysteries of the world were forcefully trapped by the changedws. They paused for a while before slowly rising up the sky, being forcefully sent out of the region. The mysteries of the world disappeared into the azure sky.
In the blink of an eye the mysteries, things that three Saint Rulers struggled to deal with, were nullified by a mysterious, hidden person with a song.
A purple-dressed woman walked over slowly and gently from the distance. She was tall and her ck, glossy hair fell naturally, so lustrous that it could even serve as mirrors. Her face was obscured by a green veil, only revealing her limpid phoenix eyes. Her eyes were bright and enchanting. Her elegant fingers, as delicate as jade, caressed the zither strings. Her thin waist, which could be easily caught with one arm, was extremely soft, and as she walked it twisted about gently, like a beautiful snake.
The woman exuded a celestial aura. She was solemnly divine, like an otherworldly fairy, or even more like a goddess who had descended into the mortal realm from the nine heavens. She was clearly vastly different from ordinary girls. Although her appearance was hidden, it was not difficult to imagine how beautiful she was. She seemed to be born by the world, spoiled fondly by the heavens, and perfect all over.
“Demoness, demoness, this must be a demoness, a terrifying demoness.” A sliver of paleness appeared on Nubis’ face. He could not help but take a step backwards and stand behind Jian Chen. He felt a fear for the woman from the very depths of his soul. This was extremely rare, even when he stood before a Saint King.
This was not because the woman’s strength was terrifying, but rather her existence and the abilities she used were the nemesis of all magical beasts. She used the zither to control everything in the surroundings and injure enemies. Her ability with the zither had already reached a shockingly scary level. Meanwhile, although magical beasts were much stronger than humans in battle, their souls were their weak point.
“I greet master!” The two women courteously greeted the purple-dresseddy with their zithers in their arms. Not only was she the mistress of Three Saint Ind, she was also the master of the two of them.
Jian Chen also noticed the purple-dressed woman. His eyes narrowed abruptly, and he called out huskily, “Saint of the zither, the Heavenly Enchantress!”
Thedy was the Heavenly Enchantress that Jian Chen had met in Mercenary City.
The Heavenly Enchantress stood in the air with her zither while a colorful light flickered in her captivating eyes. She shifted her gaze slightly and looked towards Jian Chen in the distance. Instantly, a sliver of light shed across her indifferent eyes. She said softly, “I think I’ve met you before. Are you Jian Chen, the previous King of Mercenaries?”
The Heavenly Enchantress’s voice was extremely gentle, like the most pleasant tune in the world, yet also carried a bewitching charm. She was able to affect the moods of people from just her voice.
“Demoness, demoness, it really is a demoness. You can bewitch people even by only speaking.” Nubis, hiding behind Jian Chen, cried out while the fear in his eyes deepened. With just a few words, the blood in his veins sped up and he even felt some loss of control over his emotions.
Jian Chen’s mood was also wavered slightly by the Heavenly Enchantress’s bewitching voice. However, with his willpower, it did not affect him very much. He eyed the woman with a weird light and sped his eyes, “Junior is Jian Chen. I’d never think that senior would remember it. It is truly an honor of mine.”
The Heavenly Enchantress stared at Jian Chen unblinkingly with her pretty eyes for a while, before giving out a soft sigh. She said, “I’d never have thought that after just a few years, you’d be a Saint Ruler.”
“Junior was rtively lucky, and only reached Saint Ruler a little earlier. It’s not worth mentioning. Compared to senior, junior is like a firefly trying to outshine the moon.” Jian Chen sped his hands.
The Heavenly Enchantress no longer paid any more attention to Jian Chen. She looked towards her disciples and said softly, “Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, you should go have a look at his situation.”
“Yes, master!” The two women replied courteously before flying towards the cave together and disappearing into it.
Jian Chen’s eyes followed the two disciples as they moved, watching them disappear into the dark cave in the distance. He could not help but feel curiosity, so he asked, “Senior, just who is the person living in that cave? Why must you stop him from bing a Saint Ruler?”
The Heavenly Enchantress gazed towards the cave in the distance, and only after a long while did she finally begin speaking slowly, “He’s a descendent that was expelled from one of the ten protector ns. An extremely powerful seal was set down in his mind, sealing his talent and preventing him from bing a Saint Ruler. If the mysteries of the world descend, it would trigger the seal in his mind and turn it into a battlefield. He would be greatly affected by the ripples of it and would have his soul wiped out in the end. It’ll disperse forever; even ss 7 Radiant Saint Masters wouldn’t have the power to revive him.”
“A descendent expelled from the ten protector ns?” Jian Chen repeated softly, his voice filled with a sliver of shock. Shortly afterwards, a sliver of cold light shed across his eyes. He could not forget that he had now left the Tian Yun Continent exactly because of the pursuit of the ten ns.
“Senior, do you know much about the protector ns? Are you able to tell junior about it?” Jian Chen asked.
The Heavenly Enchantress eyed Jian Chen inly and said, “With your current strength, you should know about this. The ten protector ns are the most powerful organisations on the continent, other than Mercenary City. They have existed for an extremely lengthy amount of time, having already existed even before Mo Tianyun had appeared in the ancient times. Of the ten ns, four are sects, three are schools, two are ns and one is a pavilion. The four sects are the Potian sect, Shenxiao sect, Yangji sect and Yiyuan sect.”
“The Yangji sect! I’d never thought they’re actually a protector n!” Jian Chen murmured hoarsely. He could not help but think about the small sect he had wiped out in the past in the Qiangan Kingdom.
The Heavenly Enchantress continued, “The three schools are the Heaven’s Incense school, the Tyrant’s de school and the Heartless school, while the remaining two ns and pavilion are the Changyang n, Moyuan n and Pure Heart Pavilion respectively.”
“The Changyang n!” As soon as he heard that, Jian Chen was startled. He could not help but think of the Changyang n in Lore City. However, he thenughed at himself. The Changyang n he was born into was only a small n in Lore City. The strongest was only Uncle Chang as a Heaven Saint Master. The disparity would be huge if it waspared to the protector Changyang n.
“Looks like it’s most likely just a coincidence. If the Changyang n of Lore City was really a part of the ten protector ns, why would they have been suppressed to such a level by the Hua Yun sect?” Jian Chen thought. However, he then seemed to think of something, and a sliver of light immediately shed across his eyes, “Wait, the descendent expelled from the protector ns.”
Jian Chen’s expression changed several times before asking out, “Senior, what is the name of the person expelled from the protector ns?”
“He is Changyang Zu Yunkong.” The Heavenly Enchantress replied softly.
“Changyang Zu Yunkong. Is he perhaps a member of the Changyang n? The ancestor of my Changyang n just happened to have disappeared a very long time ago. Is this a coincidence?” Jian Chen muttered softly, while his expression changed several times quickly again. He then sped his hands at the Heavenly Enchantress and requested, “Senior, is it possible for me to see this person?”
“He is already asleep. Don’t create too great of amotion and awaken him, or he’ll suffer great injuries.” The Heavenly Enchantress spoke softly, carrying a bewitching charm with her words.
With her permission, Jian Chen did not hesitate at all. He entered the cave with a blur.
The cave was filled with fist-sized luminous pearls which gave off a soft light, illuminating the entire cave. When Jian Chen had traveled a hundred meters in, the space before him suddenly opened. He had arrived at a huge cavern of several dozen meters in radius. Currently, the walls were covered with cracks while some loose pebblesy scattered across a floor covered with ditches. It was a mess.
In the centre of the cavern stood Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue. Meanwhile, a dishevelled, tattered-clothed, beggar-like old man slept soundly before them.
Jian Chen gently walked over and stared fixedly at the old man on the ground. The old man’s face was ancient and haggard. He was currently sleeping peacefully.
“Be careful, don’t wake him up.” A pleasant voice sounded in Jian Chen’s ear. It was one of the woman with the zithers.
Jian Chen examined the old man’s appearance, while the light in his eyes constantly flickered. After a slight hesitation, he said, “I want to ask him some things.”
“No. Once he wakes up, it’ll attract the mysteries of the world, and the seal in his mind will be triggered. He’ll suffer great pain.” Jian Chen’s request was immediately shot down by the other woman.
“What rtionship do you have with Changyang Zu Yunkong?” Suddenly, a charming voice appeared. The Heavenly Enchantress walked in elegantly with the Zither of the Demonic Cry. Her voice was extremely in, without the slightest emotion.
Jian Chen paused slightly and said, “Senior, my original name wasn’t Jian Chen, but rather Changyang Xiangtian. I was born to the Changyang n of a small kingdom. The original founder of my n, the Changyang ancestor, was a Heaven Saint Master, and it just so happens that he’s been missing for a very long time. I suspect that this old man called Changyang Zu Yunkong might be the ancestor of my Changyang n. I wish that senior can awaken him and allow junior to ask him about his identity.”
After a slight deliberation, the Heavenly Enchantress orders, “Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, y the soulforting melody.”
“Yes master!” The two women did not hesitate at all before crossing their legs mid-air and cing their zithers on their knees. As their fingers moved slightly, a wonderful zither sound was immediately generated.
It was gentle, filled with serenity. It seemed to be able tofort the emotions of a person, to allow that person to calm down. When the music reached Jian Chen’s ears, his slightly excited and frantic feelings also disappeared very quickly and was reced by a calmness.
The Heavenly Enchantress touched a string of her zither with an elegant finger. With a slight trembling, a note appeared that immediately began to slowly wake the sleeping old man.
