Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

Chapter 25

However, once Gu Ruoyun laid her eyes on the spiritual weapon, she understood why it remained untouched in the Weapon Refining Sect’s formation.

How should this be explained? The sword was indeed a spiritual weapon. But unfortunately, the spiritual weapon was completely worn out. Its surface was covered in rust and stains, like a formerly great cultivator who lost his spiritual energy and was now no different from the average person.

Of course, an observation like this would only apply to the average individuals.

But what was this to Gu Ruoyun? A genius from the East Peak Mainland, and the Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda. Saving this once majestic spiritual weapon was not a problem, all she really needed was time.

“Zixie, coincidentally, I don’t have a weapon on hand. This spiritual weapon may have lost its spiritual energy, but it is still more powerful than an ordinary weapon. Besides, that strong spiritual energy I sensed must have come from the spiritual energy it absorbed during my cultivation. That’s how it led me here!”

The voice in her soul quietened. After a long pause, Zixie’s voice finally reached Gu Ruoyun’s ears.

“Then you should take it first. We’ll find a higher grade weapon for you in the future. While this may be a spiritual weapon, this one is of the lowest grade. It does not suit your status.”

Gu Ruoyun could not help it. Her mouth twitched, and she rubbed her head exasperatedly.

“Does this guy think that spiritual weapons are as common as cabbages?” She wondered to herself, “One low-class spiritual weapon is enough to start a fight among many expert cultivators, what more a high-class spiritual weapon?”

“Let’s go. I’m almost done with my cultivation. It’s time that we leave.”

Many people were already gathered outside the cave. Upon seeing Gu Ruoyun walking out from the cave, the crowd fell into a hush before erupting into a flurry of questions.

“Gu Ruoyun, what’s a good-for-nothing like you doing in a place like this? I felt the peculiar fluctuations from the cave a while ago. Some precious treasure must have appeared in this very cave. Hand over the treasure and maybe I’ll even spare your life!”

Gu Ruoyun knitted her brows and matched the voice that spoke to a young man in green amongst the crowd. Her lips curled up wryly.

“Son of the vice minister for the Department of Revenue and the little footman of that little master from the Ling Family. Who are you calling a good-for-nothing?”

The young man sneered, “Who else could I possibly be talking about? Are you not that good-for-nothing that everyone knows about? Gu Ruoyun, be tactful and hand over the treasure. Otherwise, I’ll make you kneel and bow before me. Besides, your brother wouldn’t even know if you died here, ha…”

Ha…

Before the last laugh was heard, the crowd heard a loud bang and the young man’s body transformed into a streak of light and was flung into the sky with a whoosh before being violently thrown back onto the ground

The minds of the rest of the crowd went blank. They slowly turned their heads towards Gu Ruoyun’s frail-looking body.

Gu Ruoyun swung her arms around as if nothing had happened, not even bothering to spare another glance at the young man on the ground.

“He’s pretty strong. This slap actually hurt my hand.”

The young man may be the little master Ling’s footman but his powers were still comparable to that of the little master’s. He was also a level five in the Qi Collection ranks. Gu Ruoyun was only a good-for-nothing at level three, yet one slap from her could send him flying through the air?

Even though she was saying that he’s pretty strong and that he had actually hurt her hand, the crowd wondered if this woman knew that she was insulting him and not complimenting him?

“Ah right,” Gu Ruoyun’s gaze shifted as she smiled at the onlookers, “Did anybody else called me a good-for-nothing? Do you dare step out?”

In actual fact, once she signed a contract with the Ancient Divine Pagoda, Gu Ruoyun’s body and soul were subjected to a cleansing process. Not only did it increased the strength of her soul, but it had also increased the capabilities of her body in every aspect. Unless someone suddenly broke through the Qi Collection levels and reached the rank of Martial Warrior, none of them was a match for her.

Seeing Gu Ruoyun in this current state, the people in the crowd only looked at each other. Not one of them dared to step out the entire time.
