Chapter 710 - 370: Xiaolan, Could You Be Sheng Tanglian’s Daughter?
Chapter 710: Chapter 370: Xiaolan, Could You Be Sheng Tanglian’s Daughter?
"Susu, why are you so excited when Xiaolan is being envied by so many?"
Fang Xue asked in confusion, as Xu Caihe raised her hand to answer:
"I know, I know, because Senior Sister Su also wants to be the Prince Consort, and she’s jealous of Senior Brother Lan! Ouch!"
Liu Su withdrew her hand, surprised: "I didn’t know it felt so good to knock on someone’s head? No wonder the young master and young lady enjoy hitting me so much!"
Xu Caihe rubbed her head, looking aggrieved: "Senior Sister Su, did I say something wrong?"
Liu Su rolled her eyes at her: "What do you know? Your Senior Brother Lanyin has no desire at all to become this Prince Consort; she’d be delighted if more people opposed, so Wu Yiren would give up on her own!"
Meanwhile, on stage, a male cultivator was waving his hands, encouraging the crowd to keep jeering at Mo Xiaolan.
Mo Xiaolan remained calm and slowly drew her long sword.
"Pretty boy, you got lucky in the first round, but this time I’ll show you what a real man is!"
The male cultivator summoned a strange magical artifact, entirely emerald and flower-shaped.
"This is the Immortal Artifact, the Profound Lady Flower!"
The crowd exclaimed upon seeing the artifact:
"It’s actually the Profound Lady Flower?!"
"That’s the magical artifact of Chun Hongxue, an elder of the Cyan Lotus Sect from five hundred years ago!"
"Legend says this Profound Lady Flower was destroyed by Immortal Master Zhenyang during the great battle when Zhenyang Sect defeated the Cyan Lotus Sect five hundred years ago! How can it appear again?"
Liu Su’s eyes widened as she tugged at Qiu Zhihe’s sleeve, whispering: "Miss, is this really the Profound Lady Flower?"
Being from the Cyan Lotus Sect, she naturally knew of this legendary magical artifact of her sect, but had only heard its name, never seen it.
Qiu Zhihe’s gaze turned cold: "It should be real; where did this person find it?"
Five hundred years ago, besides Sect Leader Sheng Tanglian, the Cyan Lotus Sect had four great elders: "Xia Lian, Chun Hongxue, Yi Suqin, and Mo Nantian."
The artifacts and characteristics of the Profound Lady Flower, possessed by Chun Hongxue, were recorded in the Cyan Lotus Sect’s ancient texts, accessible only to the Sect Leader and the Saintess.
Xia Qinglian had reviewed the records of the Profound Lady Flower and could recognize it immediately.
Liu Su expressed her concerns: "If it is the Profound Lady Flower, can Xiaolan defend against it?"
Qiu Zhihe responded calmly: "A magical artifact depends on its wielder; in the hands of the weak, its full power is hard to unleash."
The appearance of the Profound Lady Flower instantly captured everyone’s attention, as all eyes turned towards it.
Many had heard of this legendary Immortal Artifact, their eyes now filled with envy.
Although the Cyan Lotus Sect is branded as the Demon Sect, no one denies its might.
The Profound Lady Flower, as the magical artifact of an elder from five hundred years ago, is undoubtedly powerful.
If they could seize it...
The gaze on the male cultivator on the Battle Platform from many cultivators became fierce.
However, he was oblivious to the fact he had become prey in their eyes, currently laughing triumphantly:
"Pretty boy, to fall beneath the Profound Lady Flower, consider it your fortune!"
He then threw the entirely emerald flower into the air, and the Profound Lady Flower immediately emanated a dazzling light, transforming into countless petals sweeping towards Mo Xiaolan!
The petals floated, seemingly not very powerful, yet the surrounding air all froze, showing signs of slight spatial collapse.
Mo Xiaolan didn’t dare to be complacent and mustered her full strength.
Her form also transformed into countless petals; the pink and green petals soon intertwined in the sky, appearing more like a dance than a duel.
"Can this pretty boy also turn into petals?!"
"What kind of cultivation technique is this?"
"Hmm, something seems off."
"Why are the petals on both sides merging?"
The male cultivator’s face changed, trying to recall the Profound Lady Flower, horrified to find he had lost control of it.
In the sky, the pink and green flower showers gradually merged, then reverted to the handsome and graceful Lan Yin, who was now holding the Immortal Artifact Profound Lady Flower.
"How did the Profound Lady Flower get taken by the pretty boy?"
Witnessing the legendary Immortal Artifact being subdued so easily by Lan Yin, everyone was stunned.
The male cultivator turned pale, reaching for the Profound Lady Flower, shouting: "Come back!"
Yet the emerald flower remained hovering above Mo Xiaolan’s palm, ignoring his command.
The male cultivator was dumbfounded: "How could this happen? What Demon Technique did you use?!"
The others also stared at Mo Xiaolan in disbelief, a hint of fear on their faces.
This pretty boy could tame a sentient Immortal Artifact with just a gesture; his cultivation was unbelievably terrifying.
He’s likely half a step into Divinity Transformation, isn’t he?
No wonder even the Seventh Princess would take a liking to him.
Turns out this guy was playing the fool to catch the tiger!
Amidst countless awe-filled gazes, Mo Xiaolan herself felt bewildered.
She had sensed the terrifying power of the Profound Lady Flower, and without concealing her Orchid Technique, she unleashed all her strength in response.
She expected a tough battle, but upon touching the Profound Lady Flower, the Immortal Artifact seemed to recognize her, proactively submitting.
In such a manner, she effortlessly acquired this peerless Immortal Artifact.
Now, gazing at the Profound Lady Flower floating in her palm, she sensed an irrepressible joy within it and fragmentary whispers flowing into her Sea of Consciousness.
"Little Master... Colorful Bone... Little Sect Leader..."
Little Master?
Mo Xiaolan looked at the radiant glow of the Profound Lady Flower, somewhat dazed.
"North District No. Dingcheng, Zhenyang Sect’s Lanyin versus Loose Cultivator Yue Chen, Lanyin wins!"
The judge’s voice sounded, and Mo Xiaolan snapped back to reality, realizing the male cultivator had collapsed, foaming at the mouth, soon carried away.
It appeared the massive blow of seeing the Immortal Artifact he’d painstakingly acquired taken had shattered his Tao Heart.
Under numerous complex gazes, Mo Xiaolan held the Profound Lady Flower and slowly stepped down from the Battle Platform.
At this time, Wei Wan and Fang Xue had also finished their matches, joined by Liu Su and Qiu Zhihe to come forward.
"How did the Profound Lady Flower acknowledge you as its master?"
They too were curious, not understanding what had just transpired.
Mo Xiaolan looked around, and Qiu Zhihe, understanding, led the group to a corner, drawing an Isolation Array, before Mo Xiaolan recounted what had happened.
"The Profound Lady Flower was a magical artifact of a Cyan Lotus Sect elder. With Sheng Tanglian’s Colorful Bone within Xiaolan, the Profound Lady Flower likely sensed it, thus recognizing Xiaolan as its master."
"As for ’Little Master’ and ’Little Sect Leader,’ the Profound Lady Flower might have mistaken Xiaolan for Sheng Tanglian’s flesh and blood, hence the terms of address."
After some analysis by the group, it did seem plausible. Liu Su’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly addressed Mo Xiaolan:
"Xiaolan, you look so much like Sheng Tanglian’s statue; could it be you’re really Sheng Tanglian’s daughter?!"
