Chapter 105: Qing Zhiyan's Motive
Zhi Yan was shocked hearing the description of Dark Vraksha. She was once again reminded just how dangerous outside world was. Who knew that even the blood would have severe consequences?
Getting bloodied was way too common while fighting out in the wild and having the enemy's blood on you was inevitable considering how everyone fought. But now that was proving to be fatal.
"If it gets mixed in the Qi, does that it make less potent or does it do something else?"
"It does nothing to the Qi. As I said, Dark Vraksha is very weak and so its blood can not affect the Qi much. That's why it targets something else and that is our mind."
Xiao Lan smiled as she explained.
"The Qi flows through the mind and when it does, it brings the dark blood's particles with it. Then, those particles affects our emotions and everything that is related to our mind. And it depends on amount too, if too much dark blood gets on your body, it'll surely cause a mind break depending on a person's mind and will power."
Zhi Yan felt a chill as she realised why the white haired woman felt sluggish and weak to her. She wasn't weak but she was fighting a battle inside her mind which she surely lost.
"But as long as one has knowledge of it, it's very easy to kill. One just needs to make sure they don't touch the dark blood and then find the main body. But it'll be difficult in this kind of atmosphere. Everywhere you see are trees so you'll need to identify it."
Shen Yu smiled and added.
"You'er doesn't know about the Dark Vraksha so it'll be interesting to see how she does. It's an unknown opponent for her."
Xiao Lan chuckled and said, looking at the screen where the white haired woman had been rescued by Ning Xi and Ying Yue was fighting the tree tyrant.
"There is no way she is losing this."
By now, the audience was cheering loudly because the commentator had given them the Dark Vraksha's information. It wasn't detailed but it was enough to let them know how dangerous it was.
That's why when Ying Yue decided to challenge the Dark Vraksha, they got excited and cheered for her.
In one of the VIP boxes, Bai Chen was sitting along with the Grand Elder of Seven Stars Sect. He was surprised when he saw Ying Yue and recognised her instantly. After all, she was still wearing the same wooden mask.
"It's her! Wait! She's in a sect?"
"Hmm? You know that girl?"
The Grand Elder, a old man with long grey hates and small eyes as if they would shut anytime, asked, seeing Bai Chen's interest.
"Yes, I know her. And if she's here...."
Bai Chen grinned and turned around, ordering one of the guards standing behind him.
"Go and find everything about her. We didn't have time previously but now we have."
The guard bowed before Bai Chen and Grand Elder before exiting the room. The Grand Elder didn't bother with his matter and simply said.
"I don't know what relation you have with this girl but it seems like she has lost her head. Fighting a Dark Vraksha in its own domain while being at Foundation Realm is a sucide."
Bai Chen nodded and stayed silent, his eyes locked on Ying Yue's figure as he remembered how they had insulted him again and again.
'I will see how you escape this time.'
In another VIP box, a young lady in her late twenties sat on a throne like chair. Her long purple hairs cascaded down as she looked at the screen with interest.
A bald man was standing behind her as a guard. He looked at his young Miss and asked.
"Young Miss, why are we here? This will only make your movements suspicious and others will definitely find it odd."
"I'm here to find someone, Hastor. And to find him, I will do anything and forsake everything."
Qing Zhiyan smiled and said, finally setting her gaze on Ying Yue. Hastor sighed and asked.
"Is it really worth the risk? If anything goes wrong, all of your years of hard work will go to waste."
"Tell me, Hastor, if everything falls apart and I'm going to be executed, will you still protect me?"
Qing Zhiyan asked, resting her head on her palm.
"That goes without saying, Young Miss. If anyone wish to harm you, then they will have to cross me first."
Hastor shook his head and answered.
"Then I don't need to worry."
Qing Zhiyan turned around and smiled at Hastor, making him shake his head in helplessness. He really could do nothing but protect her.
Qing Zhiyan then focused her attention once more at Ying Yue and her lips tugged upwards, looking at how she dealt with the Dark Vraksha. She still hadn't killed it but it was very clear who was the winner.
'Intresting! She definitely is abnormal, especially her shadow technique. Divine Harem Sect, huh. I'll need to see into this. But i can't even use any manpower and will have to do it myself.'
Qing Zhiyan thought, turning to look at the box in which Divine Harem Sect's members sat. Somehow, she was feeling that her intuition was correct.
She had gathered some Intel and used her brain to the max to find anything remotely possible to the mysterious master of that Heaven defying Being and came to the conclusion that there was a high chance he would participate in the Annual Sect Tournaments.
She clearly remembered her conversation with that mysterious being and remember how she had mentioned him having a sect and how he helps unfortunate women. These were little clues she had put together to come to this conclusion.
'Divine Harem Sect! Does that mean all of the sect is his harem? Wait! That means it's an all female sect except the Sect Master himself. And Senior said he helps unfortunate woman and takes them in. Hmm, now I see how it is.'
Qing Zhiyan grinned, feeling her heart swelling in happiness. However, she soon calmed herself down as she remembered that she needed to impress the mysterious master too.
But then she remembered something and shook her head.
'It is better to be honest. Guess it's time to meet him.'
