The Demon with Holy Radiance-Chapter 106 - 95: What Sweet Talk Is This? Miaohua Celestial Sect

Chapter 106: Chapter 95: What Sweet Talk Is This? Miaohua Celestial Sect

Just before the Muddy Waters, a group of nine Monks came to a sudden halt. The rest all turned to face the old Monk leading them.

The old Monk had white eyebrows and a white beard. On his head were nine ordination scars. He wore simple monk’s robes and held a string of Prayer Beads. His face was solemn and dignified, his gaze profound and calm.

"Pu Miao!"

He called out softly, and a man immediately stepped out from behind him, bowing respectfully.

"Grand Abbot, Pu Miao has sensed the aura of the Sacrificial Bone. The one our White Buddha Temple lost is within this Ancient Collection. It must have entered with that Mother Divination True Master.

I ask the Grand Abbot to assist Pu Miao this time. Afterward, White Buddha Temple will recognize the Grand Abbot as the head of Dingzhou, and we will not dare go back on our word!"

"Excellent!"

The old Monk, addressed as Grand Abbot, nodded lightly. Without another word, he formed a Seal Decision, chanted a Buddhist mantra, and flicked the Prayer Beads from his hand.

The Prayer Beads shot into the Muddy Waters in an instant, vanishing without a sound.

A few breaths later, a faint white light suddenly glowed within the Muddy Waters. The old Monk went first, and the other Monks followed him into the water, vanishing in an instant.

An unknown amount of time passed. The faint light within the Muddy Waters grew dimmer and dimmer, looking as if it were about to disappear completely.

Just then, a white figure streaked over at incredible speed and, in the blink of an eye, also entered the murky water.

...

Yang An had originally thought that entering this murk, where he could see nothing and his senses were useless, was simply a matter of scouting the path ahead.

But as the murk drifted past his eyes like clouds, the world around him suddenly brightened. The mountains and fields were a vibrant green, the sound of chirping birds filled his ears, and the fragrance of flowers drifted to his nose.

He blinked, stunned. When he snapped back to his senses, he realized he had appeared in a completely unfamiliar place!

Before him stood a great, verdant mountain, rising from a lush grassland.

Its towering, steep peaks pierced the clouds, the summit shrouded in a thin mist, resembling a mysterious celestial palace.

The entire mountain was covered in dense forests, from which the songs of birds occasionally drifted. Flowers dotted the landscape, their alluring, heart-soothing fragrance filling the air. The scene was like a beautiful painted scroll.

The mountain breeze was relaxing and refreshing, making it feel as if all worries and troubles were fading away. It made one want to lose themselves in this place, unable to break free.

’Something’s wrong! This is definitely not right! Where in this world could such a comfortable place still exist?’

Yang An reacted instantly. The more peaceful and serene the scene before him was, the more a chill ran down his spine. It differed in countless subtle ways from everything else he had ever seen, as if it belonged to another world entirely.

Behind him, Elder Life Crane and Mother Divination True Master arrived, also gazing at the great mountain before them.

Elder Life Crane’s expression was rather indifferent, as if this was nothing out of the ordinary for him.

"So this is the Ancient Hidden Land, the Miaohua Celestial Sect! It truly is extraordinary, just like the realm of an Immortal Family!"

Mother Divination True Master, however, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Hearing Mother Divination True Master’s voice, Yang An looked ahead and noticed a moss-covered Stone Stele at the beginning of the path up the mountain.

There were many small characters on the Stone Stele, but they had been weathered by time and were no longer clear. Only a large inscription was still distinct.

It was precisely the Miaohua Celestial Sect that Mother Divination True Master had spoken of!

This time, Elder Life Crane walked ahead without a word, starting up the mountain path. He Tou glanced all around, and the elder would occasionally let out a cold snort, his thoughts unreadable.

"But... what a pity."

Mother Divination True Master sighed softly and followed behind Elder Life Crane.

’A pity? What does she mean by that?’

Yang An couldn’t figure it out, so he hurried to keep up. He had a strong feeling that although this place looked beautiful, it was filled with danger.

The path up the mountain was a long flight of stone steps. The old bastard and Mother Divination True Master didn’t use Sky Control to fly; instead, they chose to walk, ascending step by step.

No one explained to Yang An why they weren’t just flying up, and he didn’t ask. He figured there was probably another reason and followed the two of them past the Stone Stele.

But just as he walked past the Stone Stele, his vision went black, as if he had been plunged into a darkness where nothing was visible.

While Yang An was still taken aback, the scene before his eyes suddenly returned to normal. It seemed as if the previous moment had just been an illusion.

’Strange!’

Yang An grew wary. Ahead of him, Elder Life Crane and Mother Divination True Master were already a dozen steps up, so he had no choice but to hurry and catch up.

They walked for nearly half an hour. Since none of them were mortals, climbing from the base to the summit was almost effortless. After passing through the mist enveloping the peak, they could already see the buildings on the summit.

’So this really is a Sect’s headquarters!’

But just as the three of them drew near, a continuous stream of figures flew out from the palaces, heading straight for them.

"Who dares trespass in our Miaohua Celestial Sect? Announce your..."

POP—

Before the speaker could finish, the figures all exploded, turning into a bloody mist that filled the air.

A swarm of Gooey Insects flew out from under Mother Divination True Master’s skirt of flesh and pounced on the scattered blood and gore, devouring every last bit in an instant.

Mother Divination True Master calmly lowered her hand. Elder Life Crane, meanwhile, never broke his stride, not even sparing the figures a glance.

’They were all at the Primordial Feeding Realm... All of them dead...’

Yang An had just sensed the aura of their Cultivation Levels when they were all wiped out. Mother Divination True Master had struck with incredible speed.

’But what I didn’t expect,’ Yang An thought, ’was that there are still Cultivators living here.’

’What kind of place is this, anyway?’

’What happened to the so-called Ancient Collection? Wasn’t it supposed to be a hidden treasury? Why is it a Sect?’

Still, no one offered an explanation. Unable to make sense of it, Yang An could only continue to follow silently behind the two of them.

Soon, they reached the end of the stone steps and set foot on the grounds of the Miaohua Celestial Sect.

But before Yang An could get a good look at the Sect’s interior, Elder Life Crane suddenly grabbed him by his clothes, crossed an immeasurable distance in an instant, and appeared inside a great hall.

Mother Divination, arriving right behind them, suddenly cried out in pain. At the same time, several blood-streaked Meat Eggs appeared in Elder Life Crane’s hand.

He lowered his icy gaze to look at Yang An. Held fast in the elder’s grip, Yang An was suddenly struck by a terrible premonition.

Just as he feared, the very next second—

He exploded. Again.

Exploded into pieces of flesh all over the floor, filling the room with a shower of blood.

...

When Yang An opened his eyes and came to his senses, he took a long, deep breath. His Heart was pounding in his chest as he looked down at his hands and his lower body.

’Did I just almost die... again?’

’Motherfucker! You old bastard! I’ll kill you for this one day!’

Having almost died again for no reason, an irrepressible rage ignited in Yang An’s heart. But when he looked up and saw the scene before him, he froze.

Somehow, they were back at the foot of the mountain again!

’When did we get back here?’ The question surfaced in Yang An’s mind.

’I didn’t actually die that time, it was just... a momentary daze, and then I was back here, in the exact same spot.’

Yang An stood there blankly. He suddenly felt that something was off, even though nothing seemed to have changed.

’Wait... has the sky gotten a lot darker?’
