Chapter 2855 - 2856: The Holy Maiden’s Complaints!
Chapter 2855: Chapter 2856: The Holy Maiden’s Complaints!
The person speaking is the Great Elder of the Elders Council, the one with the most authority in the entire Palace of Light.
He slowly steps forward, lifts the cloak covering his face, and although his eyes are old, they show no trace of cloudiness as he gazes at Xue An for a moment, then says calmly.
"What is her name?"
This question left Wu Qiming speechless.
He had no idea what Xue An’s name was.
So he immediately looked at Xue An.
Although Xue An had his head lowered, he could still feel the power of the person staring at him.
However, he quickly calmed down and said indifferently, "My name is..."
Before Xue An could utter the name he had in mind, the Great Elder suddenly waved his hand.
"Forget it, no need to say it. This girl may have decent talent, but she is not suitable to become the Holy Maiden’s attendant. Take her away!"
Saying this, the Great Elder turned and walked away.
Wu Qiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was for the best.
As long as she is eliminated, it might be enough to dispel her thoughts.
But at that moment, a calm female voice suddenly came from the high platform in the center of the Divine Temple.
"Let her stay!"
Upon hearing this, not only was Wu Qiming shocked, but even the Great Elder showed a look of surprise.
Because the speaker was none other than the Holy Maiden herself, seated atop the high platform.
And if the Great Elder remembered correctly, this was the first time the Holy Maiden had spoken out on such a matter.
He couldn’t help but give Xue An a deep look, then bowed slightly, speaking quietly, "Yes! I shall follow the teachings of the Holy Maiden!"
Since he had made such a statement, the other elders naturally had no objections, all bowing and stepping aside to make way.
Wu Qiming bowed his head deeply, seemingly excited by the Holy Maiden’s words.
In truth, Wu Qiming’s heart was full of deep apprehension.
No matter how hard he tried to figure it out, he couldn’t understand what means this mysterious "girl" could have used to make the Holy Maiden speak for her.
Could she influence the Holy Maiden’s decisions?
As soon as this thought occurred, Wu Qiming was frightened.
If this were true, it would be truly terrifying.
Xue An paid no attention to the curious or surprised gazes, stepping forward and climbing the stairs, disappearing from their sight after turning a corner.
The hall of the Temple of Light was vast, with the high platform in the center towering prominently.
Given the situation, Xue An could not use his cultivation level, having to climb the stairs step by step instead.
After turning several corners in succession, the path finally opened up to reveal a huge platform.
From the outside, besides its towering height, this high platform didn’t seem excessively large, but upon truly ascending it, one discovered that the platform was tremendously vast, even extending out of sight.
Xue An narrowed his eyes, secretly awestruck.
Of course, he wasn’t shocked by the small trick of enclosing vastness into seeds, but by the Power of Light that had already become tangible on this platform.
Xue An had never seen the Power of Light condensed with such purity.
This made him slightly waver.
In these circumstances, could he really succeed by continuing to execute his plan?
Nevertheless, this thought was fleeting, because at that moment, the Power of Light gradually converged in front of him, forming a figure.
This was a woman enveloped completely in resplendent sacred light, and even so, by roughly visible contours, one could tell she was a woman of exceptional beauty.
But Xue An’s attention wasn’t on this; he immediately noticed the necklace around the woman’s neck.
Dangling from the end of the necklace was a fragment of The Celestial Mirror.
Xue An’s blood surged because of this.
His efforts had paid off; he finally got to see it.
He then began secretly preparing, ready to seal everything around him when the right moment arose.
That was Xue An’s plan!
Find a way to enter the core area of the Palace of Light, then covertly release the aura of the Ancient Mirror fragment.
Xue An believed that as long as the Holy Maiden of Light truly possessed the fragment, she would definitely be drawn by the aura he released.
If that were the case, he was ninety percent sure he would meet the Holy Maiden of Light.
And as long as he had the chance to make contact, Xue An would do everything in his power to seal a space and snatch the fragment of The Celestial Mirror.
Of course.
That was only one of Xue An’s plans; everything had to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
For instance, now, Xue An clearly knew that even if he exerted all his power, he could only seal the high platform for half a minute.
After half a minute, everything would be exposed.
Thus, he had to snatch the fragment within that half-minute, then escape.
This was undoubtedly a huge challenge.
Yet, there was not a trace of fear in Xue An’s lowered eyes; instead, they sparkled like flames.
Just as he was poised to act, the Holy Maiden spoke.
"Don’t act yet, I know what you want!"
This statement made Xue An slightly shake, then he looked up.
At the same time, the sacred light on the Holy Maiden gradually receded, revealing her true appearance.
It was a face that would captivate anyone at first sight, her glances filled with an indescribable allure.
But Xue An couldn’t care less about those things at the moment; he looked at this Holy Maiden in deep astonishment.
The Holy Maiden smiled radiantly, "Don’t be surprised; I’ve known your intentions since you stepped into this temple!"
Xue An’s gaze turned cold, his entire being gradually taut as if a battle-ready crossbow.
"There’s no need to be tense; our conversation here is unknown to the outside world, and I mean you no harm, so you don’t need to harbor murderous intent!"
Despite her words, Xue An did not relax in the slightest, only shooting her a cold gaze.
"Heh, if I’m not mistaken, you are not in your true form now, are you? And was that attempt to cross the light barrier with Divine Sense yours?" The God of Light’s maiden asked with great interest.
Xue An took a deep breath, "Yes!"
Then, a mist flashed past, revealing his true form.
At this point, there was no need for concealment anymore.
Xue An was also prepared for battle.
But never in his wildest dreams did he anticipate that when the Holy Maiden of Light saw his true face, she was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out.
"Wow, you’re so handsome!"
Xue An initially thought he had heard incorrectly.
"Hmm?"
But the fervent glow emanating from the Holy Maiden’s eyes next proved he hadn’t misheard.
"You..."
Xue An had barely spoken when the Holy Maiden eagerly continued, "Handsome, what’s your name?"
Xue An: "..."
But the Holy Maiden of Light disregarded everything, grumbling to herself.
"Gosh, ever since I transmigrated here, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a handsome guy who caught my eye! I’m fed up with facing those old guys wrapped up like zombies every day!"
