Chapter 190: Chapter 188 Are You Blind? (Vote for recommendation!)

“So, what about us?” Liuyun asked, looking at Su Han.

“That vein, it must be a spirit stone vein, right?” Su Han said.

“Yes.”

Liuyun nodded, “Indeed, it’s a spirit stone vein. Huang’an County City is nearly twice the size of Yunyang County City, with many resource sites. Just the Flowing Snow Sect alone controls close to ten of these sites. This spirit stone vein is one of the three major spirit stone veins under the control of the Flowing Snow Sect, although it has the lowest output among them.”

“It seems the Flowing Snow Sect is even wealthier than the Sect of True Martial Arts!” Su Han remarked, squinting his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Liuyun couldn’t help but shudder.

“Pavilion Master, the Flowing Snow Sect is not like the Sect of True Martial Arts; it’s much stronger. That’s evident just by looking at the resources it controls,”

Liuyun said, “Moreover, behind the Flowing Snow Sect is the Seventh-Rate Sect ‘Langya Dao’, and the people of Langya Dao, with their evil grasp, are callous and ruthless, acting without regard for their own lives, completely unlike the Qilin Daoist Temple. The Temple Master of Qilin Daoist Temple is compassionate, so after we annihilated the Sect of True Martial Arts, they didn’t make a move against us. But if we were to act against the Flowing Snow Sect, then Langya Dao…”

“Did I say we were going to move against the Flowing Snow Sect?”

Su Han smiled and patted Liuyun on the shoulder, “Young man, you’re still too green. Other people’s possessions are meant to be bought. It’s not the style of the God-Slaying Pavilion to just rob whenever the impulse strikes.”

“But what if we can’t buy it?”

“Then we’ll rob!”

Liuyun: “…”

…

Huang’an County City is adjacent to Yunyang County City, but the distance between them is a full ten thousand miles apart. In between is a barren land, bisected by the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where Demon Beasts often roam.

Although the two County Cities are the closest, there are very few people who travel between them, because the weak could easily be killed and devoured by the Demon Beasts. Only the stronger members of the Sects or the big families can travel back and forth and remain Immortal.

Huang’an County City is quite large, with numerous powers within it, including the Four Great Families and two Eighth-Rank Sects, as well as dozens of Ninth-Rate Sects.

Lead by the Flowing Snow Sect and the Palace of the Divine Maiden, they govern the entire Huang’an County City.

Let’s not mention the Flowing Snow Sect for now; rather, the Palace of the Divine Maiden is quite puzzling because there are two requirements for the disciples they accept. First is talent, and second… they must be female!

Within the Palace of the Divine Maiden, there are not no men, but the tasks they perform are always subservient. Women hold the true positions of power within the Palace of the Divine Maiden.

The Palace of the Divine Maiden has stood in Huang’an County City for nearly two thousand years, a time before the Flowing Snow Sect even existed. However, the Flowing Snow Sect later rose to power, becoming one of the hegemonic forces in Huang’an County City.

Some say that if the Palace of the Divine Maiden hadn’t limited its disciples to only women, they might have already become a Seventh-Rate Sect by now.

Unfortunately for those who have made such suggestions, the Palace of the Divine Maiden utterly disregards them.

Huang’an County City is divided into South City and North City, with the South City occupied by the Flowing Snow Sect, and the North City by the Palace of the Divine Maiden.

As the number one Sect of North City, the Palace of the Divine Maiden covers an area of nearly a hundred kilometers, even larger than the Sect residence of the Sect of True Martial Arts in Yunyang County City.

Women frequently enter and exit the Sect Residence of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, their beautiful faces and graceful figures drawing many men to congregate there.

Some even set up street stalls right there, selling various goods.

However, it’s clear their minds aren’t really on their wares.

The Palace of the Divine Maiden turns a blind eye to this, neither endorsing nor expelling these men.

A woman’s vanity is not lesser than a man’s. The salivating gazes of the latter, when they look at them, bring immense satisfaction to the women.

They may constantly utter phrases like ‘disgusting men’, ‘bad men’, but if one day no one were to admire them, it’s likely they wouldn’t be too pleased either.

…

One day, a youth clad in white arrived from afar and eventually stood before the Sect Residence of the Palace of the Divine Maiden.

The Palace of the Divine Maiden had its guards, all were women, with a Cultivation Base around the Dragon Blood Realm.

Ten meters outside the Sect Residence, several bright red characters were inscribed — Men Not Allowed Inside!

“What are you looking at?!”

Noticing the white-clad youth standing not far away and looking in this direction, a woman immediately spoke up and coldly snorted, “Handsome, indeed, but no doubt as filthy inside as those other stinking men.”

This woman was named ‘Li Jiaojiao’. True to her name, Li Jiaojiao had been pampered since childhood. Her talent was not the highest, and it was only recently that she had bypassed Ninth-Rate Sects and directly entered the Palace of the Divine Maiden through her family’s influence.

She owed this fortune to being a woman.

Li Jiaojiao was indeed beautiful with a curvaceous figure and delicate features.

Although she said this, she still enjoyed her duty as a guard at the entrance of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, reveling in the admiring glances caste by the men.

“Ten meters in front of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, men are not allowed to enter, scram!” Li Jiaojiao waved her hand impatiently.

The other women watched with interest, their temperaments much like that of Li Jiaojiao’s.

“This guy is quite interesting. We all stand so far away to watch, but he just goes almost within the ten meters.”

“He must be from somewhere else and doesn’t know the rules of the Palace of the Divine Maiden.”

“Hehe, he’ll remember after suffering a bit.”

“But Li Jiaojiao really is arrogant. She’s only just joined the Palace of the Divine Maiden, yet so many people have been scolded by her. If she weren’t one of the Palace’s own, I would drag her to my bed myself and make her scream in delight!”

“Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you’re dead meat.”

Seeing that the white-clad youth still didn’t leave, a crowd began to gather around.

There were already many people here, especially men, all hoping to win the heart of a woman from the Palace of the Divine Maiden. By doing so, not only could they find themselves a beautiful wife but also gain the support of the Palace.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?!”

Li Jiaojiao saw that the white-clad man was still standing there, and her eyebrows instantly shot up.

Since she had joined the Palace of the Divine Maiden, she had shouted at countless men, who usually slunk away disgracefully. Yet, she had never encountered anyone like this man before, who completely disregarded her words.

“I’ll say it again, ten meters in front of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, men are not allowed. Get lost immediately!” Li Jiaojiao shouted again.

“Tsk tsk, this guy still isn’t moving, he’s going to be in trouble!”

“The Palace of the Divine Maiden is extremely protective. I guess he’s done for today.”

Murmurs spread through the crowd.

In truth, many among them also harbored resentment towards Li Jiaojiao, as quite a few had been scolded by her.

Li Jiaojiao was truly too arrogant. Every time someone passed by and lingered even slightly, she would berate them, and yet they had never actually entered those ten meters.

“Brother, take my advice and leave quickly!” someone called out kindly.

But the white-clad man, as if he hadn’t heard, merely lifted his eyes, which had been gazing downward, and finally set them upon Li Jiaojiao.

“Are you blind?”
