A Bigger Confrontation (2)

First Elder Fu Wushuang hummed coldly, "No one has ever dares to take anything from the Hundred Flower Divine Palace. You're the first and you should pay. The entire Emperor Hall Sect should pay. Maybe even the one hundred celestial clans from the Five Heavens Peaks should pay too."

When he had said that, everyone had turned ashen.

Yuan Ji knew that they would all have to pay with their lives. The justice of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace was death to all the offenders, no matter how small or big was the offence.

Moreover Yuan Ji could tell that the Hundred Flower Divine Palace had valued this Blue Divine Flower highly because two great saints were being sent to retrieve it.

Yuan Ji kept quiet. Although it was all Xia Jiajia's fault for landing him into this, he would not betray her because in his heart, she was already his woman.

He felt a little pitiful that today his two beloved consorts would have to perish along with him.

All of a sudden a young and lovely maiden from the back had traversed instantly in front of them in a blink of an eye, startling everyone with her speed of movement.

Even Yuan Ji was startled.

It was because her speed clearly marked her as a seventh realm saintess!

The lovely maiden giggled softly as she said to her two elders, "Our old master, the Divine Palace Master says that on account of the honesty of Palace Master Yuan, he is willing to give him a chance."

Yuan Ji was suddenly smiling, "Really? I've a chance? Then I must thank the Divine Palace Master personally then." But he was suddenly alarmed. It was because their Divine Palace Master was actually here. Was there a secret with this Blue Divine Flower?

He stole a glance at the other nine maidens at the back and was quite startled to suddenly notice that they all had golden eyes. The celestial strength of the Hundred Flower Divine Palace was startling and it was no wonder why it was greatly feared in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

But at the same time he was quite disgusted by the Hundred Flower Divine Palace and their old master. It was because there was a long standing rumor in the celestial fraternity that the Hundred Flower Divine Palace practiced dual cultivation and they had the practice of using young maidens to be their yin melting cauldrons.

The fact that their elders and old master were this old confirmed the rumors in his heart. They must be using these ten maidens for their dual cultivation in order to prolong their lifespan.

The lovely maiden was now looking at Yuan Ji as she giggled, "This Palace Master Yuan is really handsome. He is a rare beauty."

Yuan Ji: …

Did he just hear this lovely maiden calling him a rare beauty?

He was totally rendered speechless by her.

The lovely maiden smiled at him before saying, "As long as you are willing to accept a personal duel from my old master then he will be gracious enough to spare the lives of everyone here."

Yuan Ji: …

This was the impossible, right?

He replied weakly, "What is the cultivation realm of your Divine Palace Master then?"

"Great Saint! You're in luck!" The lovely maiden giggled. "You got to fight with a great saint. This is the greatest accomplishment of your life. You also got to fight with my Divine Palace Master which is the greatest honor of your life. The entire Desolate Celestial Fraternity will be singing your praises for a long time."

Yuan Ji: …

"I'll rather that I fight you instead." He muttered weakly.

"This won't do at all!" The lovely maiden giggled. "I am the weakest among my sisters. Moreover I'm only a personal attendant to my old master. Surely you're not thinking of picking the weakest to be your opponent? Won't you be a laughing stock and won't it be beneath your status?"

Yuan Ji: …

Everyone: …

Yuan Ji and all the others were all gasping softly in disbelief. Did she just say that she was the weakest and she was only a personal attendant?!

The lovely maiden giggled softly, "Why are all of you looking at me like this? If my old master wants us to sleep with him, it is our honor. There is nothing shameful about being a personal attendant to my old master."

Yuan Ji was smiling weakly.

Actually they were all gasping with shock because of the ten saintesses and three great saints that they were facing today.

Yuan Ji cursed himself why did he have to make a joke earlier about facing two saints and not ten saints. Now he was indeed facing ten saints.

"So Palace Master Yuan will be glad to accept the honor challenge?" The lovely maiden giggled. Without waiting for Yuan Ji to reply her, she added with a playful smile. "Of course Palace Master Yuan can choose to decline the honor duel. Our old master isn't someone that likes to force anyone to accept his challenge."

Yuan Ji smiled weakly, "Really? That's good…"

"We just have to slaughter everyone here then. You must know that it is our usual practice." The lovely maiden nodded her head a she took a lovely look at him.

Everyone: …

Yuan Ji: …

He quickly did a fourteen million and six hundred and five calculations how he was going to win against a great saint and there was zero chance for him to win.

"Palace Master Yuan, you must take this honor challenge for us…"

"That's right…"

"Better for you to die alone than we accompany you…"

Even Supremacy Guo Taiming was whispering to him, "Brother Ji Yuan, I can only give you my spiritual support."

Yuan Ji: …

He sighed heavily as he looked at Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan, "Please take good care of yourself. Today I will be handing over the position of sect leader to Chengxi. Please be strong and live well."

Fairy Ye Chengxi and Shangguan Yan were both tearful as they took his arms, saying woefully together. "If Brother Yuan Ji our lord is to die, we will follow after you as well!"

Yuan Ji rebuked them sternly, "Do you know how many lifetimes of cultivation karma that you have to cumulate to be a cultivator? Don't talk about ending your life because of me. In this life, I am quite contended already…"

Then he sighed silently, "Maybe not. I still don't know if Jiajia is alive or dead yet. I really want to see her for the very last time to apologize to her."

All of a sudden a second lovely maiden from the back had traversed instantly in front of Yuan Ji and she was saying nonchalantly, "Our old master the Divine Palace Master says that on account of your fearless guts, he will give you six months to prepare your funeral and to say your farewells."

Then she raised her fingers and several profound energy projectiles had flown into Yuan Ji, Shangguan Yan and Fairy Ye Chengxi before dissipating harmlessly. "I have placed my profound signatures on you. Don't ever think of removing my mark. With your present cultivation level, you can't remove a saintess' mark. And don't ever think of running away or we will slaughter everyone in the Five Heavens Peak."

"The duel will be held at the Lofty World End Peak." Then she added with a wry smile. "A befitting end for such a dashing beauty like you."

Yuan Ji was not offended by her for calling him a beauty.

Instead he was delighted. It was because he had six months now to regain his profound strength to the seventh realm level. Then he would have a fighting chance.

And he got six months to find Xia Jiajia.

If she had really fallen into Xue Qianxue's hand then he would rescue her.

If not, he felt that he still owe her an important apology.

Although he may curse her for being a bimbo all the time, he was actually just venting it off and he was never upset with her. It was because he knew that she had been quietly waiting for him for a hundred years.
