Chapter 806 Yun Chi Vs. Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily was flying aimlessly through the skies of the final trial of the level 6 Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth when she had detected a sniff of a strong killing intent even though it may be hundreds of miles away.
This killing intent seemed too familiar and it seemed to be the same as the feeling of the Death God Mingwang.
“He is in that direction? Interesting.”
Even though she was also looking for Ji Yuan for a fight but she was also looking for the Death God Mingwang to demand answers for what had happened to the Wonderland of the Ecstasy Island that the Great Demon God had created?
Or even a possible duel with the Death God Mingwang.
So, she decided to fly in that direction.
It still took her several hours because she was limiting her profound strength to the 7th cultivation realm to prevent the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth from knowing her existence and also because she was still in a stealth mode and had concealed her profound aura.
If she had displayed her profound strength to the 8th cultivation realm then it would be quite impossible to hide her strong profound aura.
But very soon, she had reached the vicinity where she had sensed the killing intent and there was a trial portal that was already opened.
Her divine sense quickly told her that there was just a celestial maiden nearby.
Out of curiosity over this trial, she touched the black stele with her divine sense and saw that this was actually a SS Spirit Trial.
She began to frown, “An SS Trial? This must be a most difficult trial. The rating for the final trial is only a S Ranking.”
The black stele indicated that this Spirit Trial would last for 7 days outside and 70 days inside. And there was still slightly 50 days to go.
She quickly turned her attention to where this celestial maiden was but she was suddenly also wary of her surroundings; it was because she had sensed several defensive immortal arrays that were nearby.
A normal cultivator would not be able to setup such a complicated and large array that did nothing but to alert the owner to any possible intrusions. Moreover, there were several of these immortal arrays as well.
Therefore, the owner of these defensive arrays must be nearby.
So, she quietly walked in the direction of this celestial maiden and soon she saw that she was humming a soft tune while gently caressing her belly in front of a small river that was concealed by the tall mountains.
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled as she walked noisily to this celestial maiden to alert her that she was coming; she soon saw the face of this this celestial maiden. She was very beautiful and had a most alluring peerless look.
She smiled to ask, “I wonder why maiden is alone here and is not taking your trial inside the trial portal?”
This celestial maiden quickly turned around to smile at her, “Alas, it is a fellow cultivator. This trial is a SS trial and I am not confident that I can overcome this trial. As you know, no desolate monsters will approach the vicinity around a trial so I feel much safer around here. I guess that I will wait for the final trial to end instead, since it is ending pretty soon.”
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, “That will be 2 weeks later.”
This celestial maiden smiled pleasantly, “What is your name? You can call me Yun Chi. I hope that you are a friendly cultivator.”
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, “Hmm, you can call me Xiaoxiao. So Maiden Yun Chi, did you see anyone around here lately?”
Yun Chi pondered for a while, “I think I saw a black cloak masked man that is around here some hours ago and he seems to be heading to the final trial.”
Ding Xiaoxiao began to ponder: That should be the Death God Mingwang. So, he is inside the SS Trial?
She returned a sweet smile, “Well thank you so much. You are so lucky to have meet a friendly cultivator such as myself.”
With that, she had begun to walk away.
But after walking away for several dozen steps, she had suddenly paused in her tracks and looked back; the celestial maiden that was called Yun Chi was still humming a soft tune in a nonchalant way.
She tapped her foot a few times to think when suddenly she said aloud, “How do you know that I am a friendly cultivator or a bad cultivator? Maybe I am a bad cultivator that wants to loot a fellow cultivator?”
Yun Chi replied without turning her head around, “You don’t look like a bad cultivator, isn’t this reason enough?”
Ding Xiaoxiao slowly said, “Hmm, either you got the ability to sense my killing intention from afar or you may know that I won’t attack someone from the back. That is why you are purposely sitting in such a manner that your back is facing me.”πππ³ππππxt.π¬πͺπͺ
Yun Chi continued to smile pleasantly, “I am afraid that Maiden Xiaoxiao thinks too much. I am long here before you have shown up.”
Ding Xiaoxiao swept her divine sense to the vicinity; indeed, the profound signature of this Yun Chi seemed to be in this vicinity for the past several hours.
Maybe she is thinking a little too much?
But her sixth sense still got a lingering feeling of doubt in her heart.
So, she asked, “I wonder if you know of a cultivator named Ji Yuan in your travels?”
Yun Chi answered nonchalantly, “Jiβ¦ Yuan? Never heard of him before.”
Ding Xiaoxiao had suddenly said coldly, “You are lying.”
Yun Chi: β¦
How she knows? Is she testing me?
She forced out a smile, “I am actually not.”
Ding Xiaoxiao said coldly, “You answer too fast as though you do know him. And you didn’t even bother to ask me what his characteristics are.”
Yun Chi smiled wryly, “I am sorry if I didn’t ask about his characteristics. It is just that I am not interested in trying to know this Ji Yuan at all. Is this even a crime to remain as neutral as possible? I just don’t want to meddle in the troublesome affairs of the others. Is he a friend of yours? Maybe he is inside this trial portal now? Do you want to take a look inside?”
Ding Xiaoxiao returned a wryly smile as well, “He isn’t exactly a friend. Usually, I don’t have the time to explore a trial but I am suddenly intrigued by this Ji Yuan. You see, I’ve just been to a trial location called the Great Valhalla Hall and I saw his name there as number 1 in the Great Hall of Fame and he had a score of 4 212 224 Points.”
She then added with another wry smile, “That is all the more reason why I want to duel with him.”
Then she continued to say, “I won’t fight you this time because you are pregnant, Death God Mingwang. Should I call you by this name instead? I’ve never suspected that you will actually be a maiden and you will be pregnant. This is most surprising⦔
Her sharp divine sense had already detected two heart beats coming from this Yun Chi even before she had arrived in this vicinity.
“It is impossible for the Death God not to know Ji Yuan, am I right? Since you are also supposed to kill him in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and your immortal profound arrays are everywhere in this place.”
“Therefore, this Ji Yuan must be inside this trial portal. That is good enough for me to know already.”
Yun Chi said quietly, “I know that I can’t hide my identity from you. But do you want to know why I am showing you my true appearance?”
Ding Xiaoxiao was suddenly laughing softly, “Because it will be too funny for a pregnant Death God Mingwang to be talking to me in the first place.”
Yun Chi chuckled too, “Precisely. And good luck in finding Ji Yuan inside the trial.”
If she could not fool this Ding Xiaoxiao then she had a backup plan already.
She had already instructed the rest of her group to quickly search for Ji Yuan and to ask him to use his golden talisman to quickly exit the trial when he encounters Ding Xiaoxiao. And then to run as fast as possible with another golden talisman to the start of the final trial to shake her off.
It is because this Ding Xiaoxiao is too formidable for him to handle on his own.
She could only quietly pray for Ji Yuan that this ‘Goddess Ai Tina’ may be strong enough to protect him from this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily.
Or maybe the combined strength of all the divine consorts in the trial may be able to kill this Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily with all their profound strength and profound treasures.
Yun Chi said to herself with a soft sigh: Ji Yuan, you have better find plenty of allies fast or run as far as possible! Or get pregnant like me! How in the great heavens did you even mess up with this Ding Xiaoxiao in the first place?
Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily had already departed for the trial portal because she did not want to fight a weakened Death God Mingwang since this was against her martial honor.
