Chapter 91: The Value Of The Guide
“That’s right, after spending so much time with a mediocrity like your president, it’s indeed hard to broaden horizons.”
Xue Lingling spoke unhurriedly, continuing her mockery, her gaze toward the Divine Fire Club President as if looking at an ant.
“Damn it, just a little girl back from the dojo, and she really thinks she’s something special?”
The Divine Fire Club Captain’s face twisted, yet he was powerless against that Blazing Fire Divine Bird.
Wu Xian took everything in, feeling secretly puzzled in his heart.
From the first time he met Xue Lingling, he always felt that she exuded an air of superiority.
This feeling wasn’t superiority complex, but more like the contempt of a higher being toward a lower one.
Whether it was brushing monsters off the fleeing crowd in the Dimensional Mirage back then, or her current contemptuous attitude and words, it all carried this feeling.
“Sigh~ It’s just that Great-Grandmother has a good temper.”
Xue Lingling wasn’t angry, merely sighing lightly with a sigh.
“Are other Scroll Painters really bad-tempered?” Wu Xian pondered and inquired.
“Of course, this master is already quite mild.” Xue Lingling replied without thinking, “If it were those Scroll Painters from the dojo clans, with what he just said, he’d already be a dead man.”
“…” Wu Xian was speechless, “That vicious?”
“That bunch stopped seeing themselves as human long ago,” Xue Lingling spread her hands jokingly, “Meeting a Scroll Painter like this master who still has humanity is his good fortune.”
Wu Xian’s heart shook greatly, puzzled, “Not seeing themselves as human?”
“Good Disciple, you don’t think you’re still a mortal, do you?” Xue Lingling narrowed her eyes with a smile, “From the moment you condensed the Divine Diagram, you were no longer a mortal.”
“What do you mean?”
“Exactly the literal meaning. You might not feel it yet, but in the future, this feeling will grow stronger and stronger.” Xue Lingling said meaningfully.
Wu Xian took a deep breath, his mind racing with thoughts.
At this moment, he finally understood what that feeling was.
It was a feeling similar to how cultivators view mortals.
At the same time, the remaining few from the Divine Fire Club had been swept out by the Blazing Fire Divine Bird.
“Alright, time for us to make our move!”
Xue Lingling interrupted Wu Xian’s thoughts, stepping on the coffin board and charging ahead first.
Sensing their approach, the Blazing Fire Divine Bird, which had just calmed its rage, erupted in fury again and lunged at the two.
The temperature around them rose higher and higher; ordinary people couldn’t endure it.
Wu Xian had Aura of Wealth Protection, so he felt no pressure.
Xue Lingling was wrapped in a layer of Yin Energy, completely unfazed by the scorching heat.
Buzz~!
The Ghost King Divine Diagram opened, unleashing mental pressure.
The Soul Devouring Ghost King led the eight great Ghost Kings charging out, instantly holding off the Blazing Fire Divine Bird’s assault, but their goal wasn’t to kill it. “Good Disciple, I’ll hold the front; see if you can restrict this guardian Sacred Spirit.”
“Okay.”
Wu Xian immediately unfolded the Ten Great Yin Marshals Divine Diagram.
For a bird-type Sacred Spirit, naturally use【Bird Beak Great Marshal】 to counter, but since the opponent was a high-order Sacred Spirit that could produce Divine Power Factors, Bird Beak Great Marshal alone clearly wasn’t enough.
Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, Wu Xian simply released all the Ten Great Yin Marshals.
Although controlling so many Painted Spirits at once consumed Spiritual Power extremely quickly, the effect was remarkably obvious.
The Blazing Fire Divine Bird had already been worn down quite a bit by the Divine Fire Club bunch, and now faced such a powerful opponent as Xue Lingling.
The mental pressure from the two Soul Divine Diagrams, plus the Ten Great Yin Marshals each displaying their divine abilities.
The powerful Blazing Fire Divine Bird was soon completely suppressed.
The Monster Suppressing Bell in the Ghost King’s hand continuously emitted strange suppressive power, and White Impermanence’s Soul Summoning Banner was also exerting force…
Finally, under the Ten Great Yin Marshals’ powerful suppression, the Blazing Fire Divine Bird was firmly bound by the Soul Restraining Chain.
Chirp chirp…
Bird Beak Great Marshal let out eerie bird cries, transforming into a dark blue undead monster bird with a white flower on its head.
With a gentle peck from its sharp beak, it easily broke through the Blazing Fire Divine Bird’s Spirit Body and began madly absorbing its Sacred Spirit power.
“Seems like it can absorb it all,” Xue Lingling was both surprised and delighted, “Slow down, slow down, leave some for this master.”
The Blazing Fire Divine Bird lived up to being a producer of Divine Power Factors; its Sacred Spirit body was truly a great tonic among great tonics.
The high temperature rapidly receded, and the massive Blazing Fire Divine Bird was completely drained.
Bird Beak Great Marshal rose straight to four-star on the spot, and the condensation degree of the Ten Great Yin Marshals Divine Diagram surged greatly.
Unfortunately, with the fall of the Blazing Fire Divine Bird, the entire Sacred Spirit Island Instance began to distort and dim.
“Killing one guardian Sacred Spirit and it’s gone?”
Wu Xian was stunned, thinking they could devour the other two Sacred Spirits clean as well.
“What did you think?”
Xue Lingling immediately collected the Blazing Fire Divine Bird’s drops.
Then, the space-time before them twisted, and the two returned to the association’s Domain Instance hall.
“You guys got cleared out too?” Wang Xiaocong came up in surprise and doubt, “As expected, a third-order Domain Instance is truly terrifying!”
“Who are you looking down on?” Xue Lingling raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Divine Fire Club squad not far away, then tossed Wang Xiaocong some Sacred Spirit Monster materials, “Here, can’t let you spend money for nothing.”
“Cleared it?” Wang Xiaocong was excited and worshipful, “Worthy of the president!”
Xue Lingling neither confirmed nor denied, then divided the Blazing Fire Divine Bird materials to Wu Xian, “One half each of the Divine Power Factors, and a feather dropped; this master doesn’t need it, yours.”
“Master Sister is generous!” Wu Xian grinned and gave a thumbs up.
Xue Lingling curled her lips with a smile, sighing, “Sacred Spirit Island is really a great place; we should come often.”
“Indeed.” Wu Xian deeply agreed.
“Count me in~ Count me in.”
Wang Xiaocong didn’t yet know the value of Sacred Spirit Island, just purely wanting to broaden horizons more.
His family gave him so much pocket money every month precisely to let him go out and see the world, right?
In contrast, the Divine Fire Club Squad members were all grim-faced, grinding their teeth.
Unfortunately, Xue Lingling didn’t take them seriously at all.
“Xue Family girl, I was just about to find you.”
Elder Chen appeared in the Scroll Painting Instance hall at some point, coming over eagerly.
“Does Elder Chen need something from me?” Xue Lingling was puzzled.
“I heard your Undead Dojo promoted【Death Mountain Town】 to Gold Scroll?” Elder Chen said seriously, “We’re Yaoyang City after all, your hometown; help communicate, strategy fees are negotiable.”
Xue Lingling suddenly laughed, “Tsk~ Almost forgot about that, sure sure.”
“So you agree?” Elder Chen was overjoyed, “Haha, knew you this girl values loyalty.”
“Hehe, no need to go through the dojo; I can handle it for you.” Xue Lingling smiled, “And give you a discount.”
“Hm?” Elder Chen was startled, “You got the strategy? Hiss~ Cost a lot, huh?”
Xue Lingling shook her head, then recounted the whole matter.
After hearing it, Elder Chen was shocked and couldn’t help feeling indignant for Xue Lingling.
“Poor girl, why not come develop with our association? No need to put up with this at the Undead Dojo.” Elder Chen sighed lightly while poaching, “As long as you come, the president will arrange everything clearly for you.”
“Alright, Elder Chen,” Xue Lingling politely declined, her gaze firm, “You know my Xue Family’s situation; once I take charge of the Undead Dojo, I’ll make them pay back with interest.”
“Very well.” Elder Chen seemed to know something, sighing helplessly, “But this way, it’s not just our Yaoyang City Association’s matter anymore; wait a bit, the president should be back soon.”
“Sure sure,” Xue Lingling narrowed her eyes mischievously, “Definitely more affordable than the dojo side.”
Though poaching from the dojo wasn’t great, who made her in the right?
