Title: Fetching Hinami
....
As the sound of that voice faded, the entire Mountain was in shock.
The Grand Priest of the Judiciary Hall and Devil True Lord of the Darkness Hall was both here.
Since this ethereal voice from the void could make them apologize, one could tell that the status of the owner of this voice was higher compared to them.
For people with statuses higher compared to the Grand Priest and Darkness Devil Lord, there's only a few on the Celestial Mountain.
It might even be a hegemon-level character who was the master of one of the supreme halls.
Such a character actually gave the order, telling the Celestial Mountain not to make things difficult for Shun.
He was able to train in whichever of the supreme devil halls he chose and could even leave the Celestial Mountain with no obstructions.
Such a special privilege made it so that his status already exceeded the male judiciary priest and a Child of Darkness.
Even if he obtained an inheritance in the Saint Devil Hall, he shouldn't have such preferential treatment, right?
Unless... the inheritance Shun obtained had some connection with the Myriad God Sovereign.
When the people thought of this, their hearts were all shuddering from shock, deeply glancing at Shun.
Even the Grand Priest was staring deeply at him, with looks of complications on his face.
"As for the conflict between both your sides, since you all are still on the Celestial Mountain, you still have to comply with our rules. Once you get down the mountain, you all can do whatever you want, the Celestial Mountain will not interfere again." That voice rang out once more.
Clearly, the speaker was referring to the conflict between Shun and Monoshiki.
Shun's eyes flickered, he glanced at Monoshiki before he nodded his head lightly. He didn't have any deep seethed grudge against Monoshiki and with him defeating him two times, there wouldn't be a third time.
Even if there is, the third time is always the charm, right?
The grudge actually was between Katsushiki and Monoshiki. He had nothing to do with it in the first place, and with him having found Ria and Hinami, he should dedicate the remnant of his time looking for Kaguya.
Before this he had already made preparations for the worst. But the words spoken by this hegemon-level character had actually resolved many of the dangers he feared.
In this case, the Celestial Mountain would no longer restrict him.
"I will naturally heed Sir's words." Shun politely replied.
"Everyone disperse from the area. Do not disturb the peace of this sacred location any further." That voice contained a hint of imposingness as an intense wind gusted as he spoke.
A hegemon-level character settled everything with just a sentence. This was the status granted by power.
"Monoshiki, you leave with us." The Grand Priest stared at Monoshiki as he spoke.
Before this, they already accomplished what Monoshiki wanted them to do, they even offended Shun for him.
It was still fine if they did so back then but from now on, Shun's status was already different, and that hegemon-level character was already paying attention to this.
Since this was the case, there was no way the Celestial Mountain would touch Shun again.
Monoshiki calmly nodded his head. There was no expression on his face, since he promised something, he wouldn't go against it.
Casting a deep glance at Shun, Monoshiki turned and left. Faint hints of disappointment could still be sensed from him, but as he walked away, that disappointment transformed into determination.
He still had a chance. As long as he could break through to the chakra king realm first, he wouldn't have been considered to have lost.
Monoshiki left, but the experts from his alliance all had complex expressions. Shun coldly stared at them and spoke to Katsushiki, "There are still a few years worth of time. We should cultivate well and head back to the Fallen God Region together when the time comes."
"Right." His new allies nodded while Katsushiki looked deeply at him without saying anything.
"Brother Shun, as expected, you are a genius on the same level as me. You can even reverse such a situation. Awesome." Katsushiki walked up, praising Shun. He naturally didn't forget to praise himself as well.
Shun smiled at him not acknowledging the praise, "In the next few years I will still cultivate on the Celestial Mountain. At that time would you be free to discuss something with me."
"Sure, just come anytime you want." Katsushiki patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Mhm, I will head over to the Judiciary Hall first." Shun spoke. The sentence of three years hasn't ended yet. Hinami should still be in the Blood Devil Cliff. He naturally wanted to go over.
With a flash, Shun grabbed Ria and departed, directly speeding towards the Judiciary Devil Hall.
The Judiciary Devil Hall was incomparably imposing. The area within was extremely vast and there were many figures within clad in blood-colored robes, exuding a solemn killing intent.
"I've come by for a visit to the Judiciary Devil Hall."
Shun spoke. Within the hall, an expert walked out. This man was clad in priest robes, and had a energy level at the Devil King.
This priest walked towards Shun. After that command, Shun was given access to all the supreme devil halls. He naturally had access to the Judiciary Devil Hall as well.
"Brother Shun, I wonder do you need any help since you came all the way here?" The judiciary priest asked.
"I want to make a trip to the Blood Devil Hall." Shun directly replied.
"Sure." That priest nodded. "Please come with me."
As he spoke, he turned and led the way. Shun followed after him, entering the depths of the judiciary hall.
Just as he expected, there was another dimension within the judiciary hall. After passing through the void gate at the entrance of the hall, they entered an extremely vast area. This place resembled a city more than a hall.
As one of the seven supreme devil halls at the peak, and having been around for such a long time, how many experts would this hall have?
The vast space before his eyes was the true Judiciary Devil Hall.
"Over here." That priest was extremely polite. Shun guessed that this may have something to do with that ethereal voice.
The status of that man must definitely be extremely terrifying to the extent whereby even a judiciary devil king was so polite towards him.
"Priestess Hinami might be imprisoned for three years, but in reality, the Blood Devil Cliff is a place where the priests of our hall would head over to cultivate. They can use the atmosphere there to raise their own strength. Not only for the priests, even ordinary disciples would be given the chance to do so." The Devil king priest slowly explained.
He brought Shun to a place which was heavily guarded. Before this place, a huge mountain could be seen, as well as another void gate.
This was simple the case of a world in a world in world.
"This place is the Blood Devil Cliff. Let me enter with you." The devil king priest spoke. Shun nodded his head as both of them stepped out, entering the void gate.
At the next moment, Shun came to a place where the atmosphere was saturated with devil might.
The devil might here felt extremely irritable, as though out of control, on the brink of eruption. It also radiated an extreme sense of evil.
This place was a tattered looking city. In this desolate city, there seemed to be no boundaries. From afar, a wave of fearsome devil might gushed over as a devil expert with disheveled hair, radiating a bloodthirsty aura appeared.
Shun frowned. He could sense that this devil expert wasn't normal.
"What sort of place is the Blood Devil Cliff exactly?" Shun asked.
"There are some devil expert who lost their sanity, as well as some devil experts who broke the laws and received judgement from us. These people are all locked up in here." The Devil King priest spoke.
His devil sense then swept out and enveloped this entire space.
"That means that in this place, many are madmen. As for those ordinary people, they are imprisoned here by the priests after breaking some laws?" Shun's expression turned cold.
"You should be very clear what sort of place the judiciary hall is. We are in charge of judgement, there's naturally places of darkness here." The devil king priest calmly replied.
Shun had nothing to reply. He knew what the other party said wasn't wrong.
But to think that that Hinami was actually imprisoned in a place like this.
No wonder Hinami was so cold in front of others, like an emotionless devil expert.
Because, as a priestess of the judiciary hall, she had experienced too much over the years.
"Quickly search for her." Shun spoke. That Devil expert who radiated a bloodthirsty aura actually lunged towards them.
Shun lifted his hand and blasted out with God's Hand, directly obliterating him.
The devil king priest continued leading the way and they encountered many evil cultivators on their way. They either ignored them or killed them directly.
"I found her." At this moment, the priest suddenly spoke and turned to a direction.
Over there, Hinami was clad in white. Her hair was disheveled as well and there were traces of blood on her white robes. Her beautiful face was pale but her expression as cold as ice.
It was as though she suddenly sensed something. She instantly turned and fled madly for her life.
"Hinami, it's me." A voice rang out. Hinami halted and frowned. A Devil King priest? What was he doing here?
An instant later, three figures appeared. When Hinami saw Shun who was beside the priest, and Ria beside him, the coldness on her face instantly evaporated.
She was somewhat in a panic as she hurriedly moved her hands about, tidying her hair and robes.
"Nami dear." Shun flashed, appearing before her, pulling her into an embrace. He patted her on her shoulder, "Are you alright?"
Hinami blinked, as though she was struck dumb. She didn't even react when she heard Shun's words.
Only after Shun released his grab did a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
A radiant smile suddenly bloomed on her pale face. She nodded to reassure him, "Shun, I'm fine."
"Big sis, how have you been?" Ria asked with a cheeky smile, "You don't look so good right now you know,"
"I been worse but with you two here, I'm great," Hinami replied.
The devil king priest who was standing at the side had a strange expression on his face when he saw this. He was acquainted with Hinami for 5+ years.
Did the icy beauty have such a side to her? Right now, Hinami was like a young and innocent girl.
She didn't resemble the icy priestess of the judiciary hall at all.
"Since everything is fine, I will be making a move first. Priestess Hinami knows how to exit. This area contains all the criminals who are at the Devil sea realm. Brother Shun should be sufficient to deal with them." The Devil King priest spoke, tactfully preparing to leave.
"When can she exit this place?" Shun asked.
"If Brother Shun wishes to bring the Priestess out, since her time remaining to the end of her sentence is short, I believe the Grand Priest wouldn't say anything in objection." After speaking, the devil king left directly.
Hinami stared at the silhouette of the leaving devil king before turning back to Shun and Ria
She still had no clue what was going on.
How did Shun even manage to enter this place?
