The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 159 – A Multitude of Superiors

Chapter 159 A Multitude of Superiors

Hua Qiyue narrowed her eyes, pursing her watery, peach-like lips. “What’s the purpose of this Fiery Divine Tree?”

Yun Shimo replied quietly to her question. “The Fiery Divine Tree can help a fire-system Qi Artist gain fast promotion cultivating under its shade. You are practising Heart of Fire, which can be considered a fire-system art as well.”

Hua Qiyue heard him and felt a little baffled. Where was Spiritual Qi more plentiful—under a Fiery Divine Tree, or in the Mysterious World? She would know once she reached the place.

“Not only that. A Fiery Divine Tree is full of treasures—its leaves and branches can be used as medicines and antidotes to countless poisons. They also embody the essences of the heaven and the earth. Even if you take just a bit, they can fortify your physique by more than twofold,” Huangfu Shenglin explained.

Hua Qiyue’s eyes started to gleam. To fortify the physique by more than twofold—she liked this very much!

The company quickly rushed down toward the Fiery Divine Tree. The other sects were already eyeing the tree covetously.

When Hua Qiyue and the others approached the front of the tree, they found dozens of people surrounding it. Hua Qiyue surveyed them quickly and found a group of men in black skull robes, looking sinister with grotesque expressions.

These men must be from the Gnawing Devils Sect!

“I didn’t expect so many foot soldiers here. Haha, we can give our weapons a bloody baptism!”

One of the men in black said with a cold smile. Hua Qiyue lifted her brows. “You are from the Gnawing Devils Sect?”

“Yes. Oh, this girl’s quite pretty… ”

“No. 5, don’t speak. Reserve your energy!” A cold voice interrupted his words. The man in black heard him and gave a displeased snort. However, he still heeded the voice’s advice.

No matter what, they were really after the divine weapon.

Yun Shimo had a cold expression on his face. He cast his eyes around and said quietly to Hua Qiyue, “The Divine Eyes organization and Heaven Access Sect are also here. A few older apprentices of some minor sects are also here.”

There are about fifty to sixty people here, from a multitude of sects. It seemed that many people knew about the emergence of the divine weapon.

Hua Qiyue blinked her eyes. The powers of all these people were quite good. If they attacked together, she would have to set up a formation to deal with them quickly.

“Don’t worry. I can still deal with these people,” Yun Shimo said quietly. The hare on his shoulder opened its eyes lazily. It seemed to have woken from a long sleep.

“Hmmm… it’s the scent of Drunken Flower Fan!” The little hare’s eyes were wide open. It seemed to have seen something.

It revealed its yearning. “I want the treasure this time!”

Hua Qiyue twitched the corner of her mouth. Damn it, this 10,000-year old creature wants the divine weapon too? Then what could she do?

Yun Shimo smiled faintly. “You are a 10,000-year-old hare spirit. A divine weapon’s of no use to you. Leave it for my woman.”

Hua Qiyue nearly threw out blood. Yun Shimo was usually so stern, but he sounded so arrogant and familiar now.

Huangfu Shenglin’s countenance showed a little displeasure. Ji Feng gazed gently at Hua Qiyue, his heart full of dejection.

Who wouldn’t love a woman like Hua Qiyue? There must be no more chance for him!

Ji Feng thought about this and his eyes began to look downcast. And yet he felt it satisfying enough to stay by her side and became reinvigorated again.

Hua Qiyue suddenly detected a few familiar auras and started to stare at the left.

They were people from the Divine Eyes organization. Heading them was a man with deep-set eyes full of iciness. He was staring at Hua Qiyue coldly.

“So it’s him.” Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows and stared provocatively at the man. The man gave a cold snort, and then turned his head away, ignoring her.

He was the man who had investigated Tianci’s birth father for her the last time. After getting insulted by Hua Qiyue, he tried to kill her. But Hua Qiyue managed to scare him off with a move.

She did not expect to see him here again. He did not really have the capability to seize the divine weapon. The artists with him should be quite good in Qi Art, but they had hidden their auras so that Hua Qiyue could not detect them.

The branches of the Fiery Divine Tree extended outwards, its leaves thick and the outlines of its veins clear. The entire tree was shrouded in a faint, red light. It no longer dazzled the eyes.

The earth where its roots sank into slowly started to split. A red, almost vermilion light slowly seeped out from the ground, bathing the flowers and grass around in red. The place looked breathtakingly beautiful.

“The divine weapon’s somewhere near the Fiery Divine Tree’s roots. Looks like even the tree wants the divine weapon.” Yun Shimo was frowning. He thought it quite incredible.

“Yes, you’re right. After all, it’s extremely rare to see a Fiery Divine Tree. Now, we’re seeing it here…” The expression in Huangfu Shenglin’s eyes started to look quite complex.

It looked like the divine weapon about to emerge was quite extraordinary.

The little hare snorted coldly. “Of course. This divine weapon had been forged by the former female Saint. Its powers are immense. Of course a spirit tree lilke the Fiery Divine Tree wants it too.”

Hua Qiyue had heard of the Drunken Flower Fan from Tianpi. Right now, she sensed that the green jade gourd was turning hot, trembling at her waist, as if it were trying to break free from some bondage.

Hua Qiyue gasped secretly to herself. This was a remarkable green jade gourd. Hua Qiyue had always kept its presence a secret. She could not help but shut her eyes, entering the Mysterious World with her Divine Sense.

Tianpi was pacing anxiously about inside. When he saw Hua Qiyue enter, he was overjoyed. “Qiyue, you must seize that Drunken Flower Fan!”

“Why?”

“Because it was forged more than 10,000 years ago by the female Saint!” Tianpi said agitatedly. “I never expect it to show up again after so many years!”

Hua Qiyue was speechless. She saw Tianpi’s agitation. Was that female Saint… someone he fancied once before?

“I’ll do my best!”

“Humph, be careful of that guy Yun Shimo!” Tianpi mused for a while and finally snorted. “If you reach the next level, I can communicate with you through my spirit. Then you don’t need to enter with your Divine Sense. Get out now. The Drunken Flower Fan’s emerging very soon!”

Tianpi was urging her. Hua Qiyue nodded. With a start, she returned to the real world.

Everyone was staring nervously at the cracking ground. It seemed everyone wanted that Drunken Flower Fan badly.

Most of them were condensing the Spiritual Qi in their hand, ready to grab the weapon anytime.

Even the little hare was widening its eyes, staring at the cracking ground. It started to smack its lips. “Hoho, the Drunken Flower Fan will be mine!”

Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes at it. “What do you need it for? Give it to me if you get it!”

The little hare snorted coldly and mumbled softly. “Of course I have a use for it… many years ago, I used to love this woman… ”

Hua Qiyue almost stumbled. How could a little hare fall for a woman? Wouldn’t she be in trouble too?

So Hua Qiyue clipped her legs on the horse back and spurred it a little farther from Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo naturally knew what Hua Qiyue was thinking. He hurled a palm at the little hare, which it met with its paw. It withstood the impact of the forceful palm. “You bastard, forgetting me because of a woman!”

However, it still snorted and leaped to the ground, staring coldly the the widening crevice.

While Hua Qiyue and the little hare were talking, many had overheard them. Even Hongyi, who had just arrived with her followers, overheard them. They stared with great astonishment at the hare.

Very few people can subdue a spirit animal, let alone one which could talk!

“That hare… can talk?”

“Yes, I heard it. You don’t mean it was an illusion?”

“Good heavens! It’s so amazing. We only have a few venerable masters who possess spirit animals. As for talking spirital animals… we haven’t seen one before.

“Humph, after we grab the divine weapon, we’ll grab the little hare as well… yes… the woman’s quite pretty too. Seize her too and we can have fun with her!”

A few lewd men were laughing presumptuously. Hua Qiyue stared at them. They were from minor sects and their Qi Art had only reached the Soaring Cloud Realm. Yet they were so conceited!

Yun Shimo’s countenance sank. Before he could react, Ji Feng had, recklessly. He could not hold himself back. Hua Qiyue was the goddess of his heart. How could these men blaspheme her?

He hurled out a palm into the air. The Qi Art of the Medicine Saint wasn’t weak at all. Instantly, the lewd men were hit and thrown out.

The men shrieked hideously and were thrown embarrassedly to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Shocked and enraged, they jumped up and started to yell. “Who’s that… who dared to hurt us?”

Ji Feng was about to hurl out another palm when the branches of the Fiery Divine Tree swept the men brutally as if there were eyes behind them. The men were thrown even farther away.

This time, no one dared to breathe. The Fiery Divine Tree had spiritual sentience. It must have despised those men for being too noisy and shameless.

Hongyi ran to the front of the tree and stared at the widening crevice underneath it. One of the grannies was afraid she would get into trouble and quickly pulled her back.

After all, the fiery tree had the sentient intelligence to sweep those noisy, lascivious men away.

The crevice cracked wider and wider. Red light burst out from within, complementing the redness of the Fiery Divine Tree. The entire heaven and earth were bathed in a bloody crimson. Yet this crimson carried with it a faint melancholy, as if it had suffered much from the distant past.

“Get ready!” Yun Shimo said in a whisper.

Boom—

A loud boom resounded and the crevice suddenly widened. A fiery red fan soared out, its whole body scintillating in an immortal light!

“Grab it!”

“Grab it, quick!”

Hua Qiyue was about to act when Yun Shimo grabbed hold of her hand and bellowed coldly, “Grabbing from a distance!”

Streaks of Spiritual Qi shot out from Yun Shimo’s other hand. They entangled the fan, although all the crimson light from the Fiery Divine Tree also enveloped the Drunken Flower Fan!

All the Qi Artists dashing in were overturned by the Fiery Divine Tree’s branches. They all started to shriek piteously.

Hua Qiyue’s eyes were staring straight ahead. When did Yun Shimo learn such an art? Grabbing from a distance was so convenient. He could grab the divine weapon without using his hands.

But anyway, the Fiery Divine Tree wasn’t simple too…

Hua Qiyue became extremely agitated. The powers of the Fiery Divine Tree were unleashed suddenly, its branches trying to break Yun Shimo’s spiritual light apart.

“Quick… the Fiery Divine Tree wants to grab the divine weapon. Think of a way to destroy it!”

“That’s right. The Fiery Divine Tree’s full of treasures. Don’t let it go!”

The crowds started to shout, dashing toward the Fiery Divine Tree, one after another.
