Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Bai Yan’Er

It was a large manor that faced the street, located near the Arena of the Stars. In a city like the City of Many Stars, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, one could only imagine the price of such a manor, especially one so close to the Arena.

Two imposing guardian stone lions stood beside a vermilion gate, and the roof was lined with glazed red tiles. The entire estate was so magnificent and imposing that even a Marquis’s Mansion would be no more grand.

As night fell, the streets were brightly lit with countless Lotus Lamps, making it seem like daytime.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

"Who is it?" a wary voice called from inside the gatehouse.

"Uncle Zhang, it’s me, Xiaoyu! The mistress’s guest has arrived!" the young woman in white said, her smile like a blooming flower.

A shifty-eyed, middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache opened the gate. He glanced at the young woman, and then at the worried-looking, black-clad youth behind her.

With a nod, he opened the main gate wide.

"Ah, so the honored guest has arrived. The mistress ordered that you are to be treated with the utmost hospitality!"

"Honored guest?"

Qin Feng’s mouth twitched. He had every reason to believe there was a hidden meaning behind those words. For all he knew, this place was a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den.

But even if it was a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, Qin Feng had to brave it. He couldn’t let a woman look down on him, especially not one with whom he had a history.

He stepped inside. The three-courtyard residence was incredibly grand. As soon as Qin Feng entered the front courtyard, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Qin Feng almost thought he had walked into a Witch’s den. Two rows of young women in light gauze walked out from the sides. Each was graceful and charming, their bodies wrapped only in sheer veils. Their exquisite curves were faintly visible, their snow-white skin breathtakingly beautiful beneath the pink, transparent fabric.

"Welcome, Young Master Qin!"

"Young Master Qin, you’ve finally arrived!"

"Young Master Qin, I have been waiting for you for so long!"

...

The beautiful young women all had graceful figures. Their sweet voices were filled with affection, and their steps carried a strange Charm Power. With eyes like limpid pools of water, they swarmed toward him.

’What is this? A honey trap? Is she trying to intimidate me?’ Amidst this spectacle, Qin Feng sensed a thick aura of resentment.

A bitter smile touched his lips. Qin Feng shook his head as an invisible power surged around him, and wisps of starlight began to emanate from his skin. Silently, the young women found themselves pushed back involuntarily.

The group of young women looked at each other in astonishment, then immediately withdrew.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the young women as they retreated into the darkness. He continued walking, and after about a hundred paces, he passed a small garden. Suddenly, the melodious and graceful sound of a zither began to play.

TWANG!

The music was ethereal and clear, laced with a captivating melancholy. It conjured the image of a maiden filled with affection, standing alone in the cool breeze under the bright moon, waiting with deep longing for her beloved to return.

The zither’s sound pierced straight to the soul. Qin Feng felt his spirit being tempted, his soul being captured. He couldn’t help but want to follow the music and lose himself within it.

’I’ve heard the Beiling Sect has a True Inheritance called the Guangling Song, which has nine parts. It seems my little wife-to-be is a disciple of the Guangling Sect. And since she has access to a True Inheritance, her status in the Beiling Sect must not be low,’ Qin Feng sighed inwardly. He shrugged and continued walking forward.

Countless sound waves crashed against Qin Feng like spiritual tides. However, as the creator of a peerless Demon Technique like the Primordial Demon Chapter, his attainments on the path of the soul had long since reached a pinnacle.

He could casually create all sorts of Demons, to say nothing of a mere sound-wave-based Soul Capturing Skill.

In the distance, the zither music grew sharper and more fierce. A moment later, there was a sudden BOOM.

RUMBLE!

A wave of sound blasted toward his soul like a cannonball.

Qin Feng seemed to see a vision of five or six massive Shaking God Drums. Six young women in white danced with graceful figures, striking the giant drums. Wave after wave of invisible Soul-Catching Sound Blades formed a tidal wave that crashed down upon him.

All around him, countless leaves rustled on the branches before fluttering down.

Qin Feng paused his steps and activated the Primordial Heart Demon Scripture. A ring of utterly pure, pitch-black radiance bloomed from his mind, expanding outward, circle by circle. He looked like the Demon Ancestor who brought Demonization upon the world, a strange, demonic charm playing on his lips.

The countless sound waves struck his body like rain on plantain leaves, yet Qin Feng stood as firm as a boulder.

"Spiritual Essence Light! That’s a phenomenon that only appears when one’s soul reaches a certain Realm of power. How can his soul be so strong?"

On a pavilion not far away, a young woman in white watched this scene unfold, her large eyes wide with shock.

"Some of the True Disciples in our sect have also condensed a True Soul Body, but in terms of soul strength, they are probably far inferior to Young Master Qin!"

Another young attendant with a bit of baby fat stood to the side. Upon hearing this, she said, "Mistress, Young Master Qin’s Soul Power is manifesting externally. He must be practicing an extremely powerful soul cultivation method. Judging by its strength, it’s likely on par with some of the top-tier Soul Cultivation Secret Techniques!"

"Such immense Soul Power is comparable to that of some Martial Arts Giants!"

Beside them, a peerlessly beautiful woman in white watched with an indifferent expression.

The baby-faced girl, Xiaoyu, glanced at the beautiful woman in white beside her and hesitated slightly before speaking. "Mistress, please forgive this servant for speaking out of turn, but how exactly did Young Master Qin offend you?"

After a slight pause, Xiaoyu continued, "Young Master Qin is a disciple of the All Stars Academy, after all. He’s also a Fourth Grade Alchemist. Based on what this servant has learned these past few days, he isn’t even fifteen years old yet. To become a Fourth Grade Alchemist at fifteen... it’s not impossible that he could become a Seventh-grade Refining Master in the future, or even an Eighth-Grade Medicine Emperor or Ninth Grade Medicine God! Although our Beiling Sect borders the Domain of All Stars and we have some friction, we have no reason to make an enemy of him!"

At the mention of Qin Feng, the other maid in white also showed a trace of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

"Mistress, what kind of person is Young Master Qin, really? He came from a Humble Family and entered the All Stars Academy before he was fifteen, and he became a Fourth Grade Alchemist at fifteen. Such talent for alchemy is rarely seen even once in ten thousand years. And he’s so powerful, too! He defeated Qu Ao and Long Zhan of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm while only at the Condensing Vein Realm. It’s incredible! How does he know so many Secret Techniques?"

"A few days ago, I heard he even got a room with Ji Huang’Er. People say they’ve been inseparable, and they went into a private lounge together and stayed for a long time!"

The other young woman’s eyes lit up. "What? He got a room with Ji Huang’Er? Isn’t she the chosen prodigy of the Ji Family? The Ji Family is a Hidden World Family no less powerful than the Star Sect or even our own Beiling Sect! She’s hailed as one of the most outstanding peerless prodigies of her generation. She’s always been so proud and arrogant, how could she be with Young Master Qin?"

"Why would that be impossible? Ji Huang’Er might look down on others, but Young Master Qin is different. His Cultivation and talent are so immense, and he’s a Fourth Grade Alchemist. I bet Ji Huang’Er has had her eyes on him for a while! She’d probably love nothing more than to recruit him into the Ji Family! From what I know, many Noble Families and powerful clans have their eyes on Young Master Qin now."

Listening to the two maids’ conversation, the peerlessly beautiful woman’s knuckles turned white, her fingers clenching tighter and tighter. Her gaze fixed on the black-clad youth in the courtyard, and a terrifying, icy chill suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes. With a leap, her figure transformed into a river of ice that lunged murderously toward Qin Feng...
