Chapter 2088: Chapter 691: Jade-faced Demon, Shen Baishuang!
Half a month later, Lu Quanzhen arrived at an island’s Immortal City, preparing to gather detailed information on the [Kunpeng’s Nest] and replenish his stock of elixir medicines and talismans.
However, just as he had landed and entered the city, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the heavenly dome.
He saw a dazzling and magnificent ray of light, like a rainbow breaking through the sky, instantly descending onto the island’s Fourth Rank Grand Array.
“Xu Xuanz, get out here for me!”
A cold and authoritative voice resounded through the heavens and earth.
Beyond the island’s formation, the crimson light gradually dissipated, revealing a stunning woman in a magnificent red dress, like a peony blooming amidst the crimson flames.
Her face was shimmering and hazy, her features like a view of flowers through the mist or the moon reflected on water, elusive to clarity, yet her delicate and fair features spoke of unmatched beauty.
Her figure was especially tall and graceful, with cascading black hair falling over her shoulders, half draping over her, and half hanging down to her high, rounded hips, akin to the most exquisite silk.
The red dress, woven seemingly from the material of the sunset clouds and the phoenix’s tail feathers, shone in harmony with the heavens and earth, casting her exquisite figure in an otherworldly and dreamlike glow.
Though her visage and figure were enshrouded in mystery, making it hard to see clearly, whether by design or accident, the proud expanse of her bodice seemed ready to burst, revealing glimpses of skin as white as snow and smooth as jade.
Beneath her slender waist, the red skirt split up to the thigh, and as the breeze blew, the hem danced, occasionally revealing a seductive flash of skin like snow, entrancing viewers, beckoning them to lose themselves beneath her skirts.
“Nascent Soul True Lord!”
Lu Quanzhen looked upon this mature and alluring beauty, his heart pounding uncontrollably as he realized she was a peerless enchantress!
Yet he quickly composed himself, not daring to harbor the slightest disrespect.
Nascent Soul True Lord!
This woman was a Nascent Soul True Lord!
And the Xu Xuanz she mentioned was the owner of this island, also a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The fact that she dared to confront a Nascent Soul True Lord indicated her formidable status and power.
Lu Quanzhen could only curse his luck, never expecting to encounter such an event just after stepping out.
If the two Nascent Soul cultivators were to fight, while it might not sink the island, it would certainly cause significant disturbances, potentially even sealing the island.
“Who is this, daring to call the island master by name!”
“Nascent Soul True Lord, she’s a Nascent Soul True Lord!”
“This woman seems to be the Second Palace Master of Penglai Island’s Goddess Palace, the ’Jade-faced Demon’ Shen Baishuang!”
Not only Lu Quanzhen, but all the cultivators on Xu Xuan Island were startled by this aura and voice, looking towards the sky and whispering in shock.
Many were overwhelmed by the woman’s alluring yet indistinct visage and form, her authority shattering their mental spirits, leaving their souls defenseless.
“I greet Shen Palace Master, may I ask what brings your excellency to our Xu Xuan Island? I shall report to the ancestor.”
Immediately, a Core Formation cultivator flew out, bowing towards the woman in red across the formation, not daring to face her directly for fear of losing his spirit and being destroyed by her.
“Why bother with such formalities!”
The woman in red took a light step, her calves like mutton fat jade, encased in exquisite embroidered shoes resembling the evening clouds in the sky.
The shoes’ exquisite patterns seemed to host a hundred flowers blooming and spiritual birds taking flight, forming a crimson glow, adding an extravagantly luxurious and noble aura to her mature, fiery figure.
Her words were followed by an unparalleled Nascent Soul-level suppression falling on the island’s formation, causing all corners of the island to surge up with enormous waves, the misty formation spiritual light flickering and rumbling.
The next moment.
“Shen Baishuang, what brings you to my Xu Xuan Island!”
An ancient voice, resonant like a great bell, rang out, enveloping the heavens and earth with a weighty solemnity.
Xu Xuanz!
Everyone knew this voice came from the island’s owner!
“This woman is the Second Palace Master of Goddess Palace, Shen Baishuang?”
Lu Quanzhen once more glanced at the woman in red in the sky, slightly surprised in his heart.
Having spent many years in the Starry Sky Sea, he had some understanding of the situation here.
And as one of the top-level powers, Penglai Island and Goddess Palace were naturally well-known.
The Great Palace Master, Shen Jianjia, was one of the top Nascent Soul cultivators of the Starry Sky Sea!
Not only was her cultivation profound, but she was also breathtakingly beautiful and famously renowned, having in her youth been pursued by both the first Demon Cultivator of the Starry Sky Sea, the Six Path Demon Lord, and the first alchemist of the Starry Sky Sea.
The Second Palace Master, Shen Baishuang.
Though her power was not as great as her sister Shen Jianjia, she too was of unparalleled grace, having broken through to Nascent Soul a hundred years ago, her fame spreading throughout the Starry Sky Sea like her sister’s.
Moreover, besides the backing of Goddess Palace, the old Manor Master of Sword Casting Manor had once visited Goddess Palace to propose for his son Lin Yuanting, arranging a marriage with this Second Palace Master.
Thus, behind this Second Palace Master stood not only Goddess Palace but also Sword Casting Manor, another Nascent Soul-level power, making her almost untouchable!
“I remember this Shen Second Palace Master only broke through to Nascent Soul a hundred years ago, why dare to challenge Xu Xuan Island?”
“The fame of this Second Palace Master, you must have heard of it, she’s called ’Rouge Tiger’, ’Jade-faced Demon’, prone to massacre and annihilation.”
“Since she broke through to Nascent Soul, any forces provoking her within Penglai Island’s domain have been thoroughly exterminated by her, the most famous being forty years ago when a force associated with Sword Casting Manor was involved, and her husband Lin Yuanting intervened, only to be gravely injured by her…”
“Hiss, so ruthless? I remember her husband is also a Nascent Soul True Lord?”
Since this Second Palace Master broke through to Nascent Soul, she’s been quite active in the Starry Sky Sea, hence the numerous rumors.
