The Saintess Has A Showdown 395

Chapter 395: Annihilation of the Empty Water Court

As the white-haired girl’s trembling, furious voice subsided, a heavy silence fell upon the Sea Concubine Palace.

What was this woman talking about? The Sorrowful Saintess defeating a titled legendary being?

They knew the Sorrowful Saintess was the symbol of the Sea Region, but she had only cultivated in the Heavy Rain Realm for three years, not thirty. She was still far from reaching the titled legendary realm.

Could she have possibly defeated a titled legendary being during that brief trip away from the Sea Region…?

Some initially dismissed it as nonsense, but seeing the grim expressions around them, their own breaths catching in their throats, they began to reconsider.

The Sorrowful Saintess… could she have actually defeated a titled legendary being, reaching a level beyond human comprehension?

Such feats were incredibly rare in the spirit world, a story worthy of being recorded in history.

A wave of shock, excitement, and awe, mixed with fear and apprehension, spread through the crowd.

The Ten Sacred Domains, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate!

If this white-haired girl from the Empty Water Court was telling the truth, it meant the Sorrowful Saintess had truly challenged the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate and now faced their wrath, the entire Sea Region on the brink of war.

As the blue-haired woman, her expression cold, approached, the white-haired girl let out a nervous chuckle.

“I misjudged you. I thought you only defeated a titled legendary being with the help of the Pseudo-Moon Pill. But it seems you’ve experienced battles beyond my comprehension. You’re strong, far more terrifying than I imagined.”

“But it’s over now. The moment I saw you, I sent a message to the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate.”

“Everyone in the spirit world knows. The Sorrowful Saintess is now just a mortal!!!”

“Even if you have a sliver of spirit energy left, you have no chance of survival. Lord Western Shield, the Winter Bone Azure Horn, will annihilate the Sea Region!!”

“…”
“…”
“…”

As the white-haired girl’s frantic words echoed, the blue-haired woman, her face cold and indifferent, reached her, her imposing figure looking down upon the smaller girl.

After all, her opponent was just a short, flat-chested, immature brat, while Gong Lianyue was now a fully developed goddess.

The difference in their presence and demeanor was vast, an insurmountable gap. Even a legendary Spirit Master couldn’t withstand the pressure of this god-like being.

Under her cold, watery, magatama-shaped gaze, the white-haired girl’s head lowered, her body trembling, her heart pounding.

How… the Sorrowful Saintess was just a mortal now… and yet she was so terrified…

As everyone watched, Gong Lianyue leaned closer to the white-haired girl, her soft lips parting slightly, a cool breath caressing the girl’s ear, her body, beneath the transparent bathrobe, almost touching the girl’s.

“As the Western Unbreakable Four Shields, is the Winter Bone Azure Horn planning to personally cross realms and enforce the law?”

Hearing the Sorrowful Saintess’s soft whisper, the white-haired girl shuddered, her heart pounding, her ears tingling.

So seductive. She gritted her teeth, trying to maintain her composure, her ears burning.

“Heh, as one of the Unbreakable Four Shields, if I abandon my duty to uphold order, if I disregard the honor and dignity of a Sacred Domain, am I still worthy of the title? Surely even the Sorrowful Saintess understands this.”

“You’re lying. The Winter Bone Azure Horn would never come personally. It is a shield, a protector, not a harbinger of destruction.”

“…”
“…”

The white-haired girl froze, her breath catching in her throat, her eyes unfocused.

This Sorrowful Saintess… she was terrifying, as if she could see right through her.

And she was just a mortal now, devoid of spirit energy. She couldn’t imagine the extent of her power at her peak.

The Winter Bone Azure Horn wouldn’t come personally. She had seen through her bluff from the very beginning.

After a long, agonizing silence, the girl swallowed hard.

“So what? The Three Celestial Seats, second only to the two titled legendary beings, the thirteen branches of the Gong family, the four subsidiary realms, and even the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine… do you know how many powerful beings will descend upon this place?”

“And you, a mere mortal now, what can you possibly do…?”

Hearing the girl’s desperate bluster, the Sorrowful Saintess, her expression unchanged, turned and walked away.

Seeing this, the white-haired girl inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought she was about to die.

“Your name?” Gong Lianyue suddenly asked, stopping.

“Uh… Empty… Empty Spirit Saintess of the Empty Water Court,” the white-haired girl stammered, caught off guard.

She had come here prepared to die, but the Sorrowful Saintess’s lack of… interest… surprised her.

However, the Sorrowful Saintess’s next words stunned her.

“Empty Spirit Saintess, I want you to hate me.”

“?”

As the Empty Spirit Saintess stared at her in confusion, the blue-haired woman slowly pulled a massive, black, seductive blade from beneath her bathrobe, eliciting gasps of shock from the onlookers.

This was… the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner…?!

Wait, hadn’t she lost her spirit energy? How could she wield a legendary artifact?

The Empty Spirit Saintess’s eyes widened. There was only one explanation.

A legendary being willingly submitting to a mortal.

Not because of potential, not out of hope or fear, but because of… lust.

Just like Hong Xiaoqianyu…!!!

They… had fallen for a human…

Boom!!!!

The next second, a terrifying black aura erupted from the Shadowlurking Blade, a massive crescent moon slash disappearing into the distance.

On the day of the Sea Concubine Palace entrance examination, Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess, a mere mortal wielding a legendary artifact, had unleashed this devastating attack.

This event was recorded in the annals of the spirit world, because just minutes later—

The Empty Water Court was annihilated, one legendary being dead, three injured, seventy percent of its territory destroyed.
