After Favorability Is Maxed

265 The Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger
Wuyin Cliff was extremely precipitous. There were only barren cliffs and naturally, there was no greenery. Among the scenery along the Spirit Transformation River, the bare gray stones were very eye-catching.

However, even though this place was very eye-catching, it was a terrain that was easy to defend and hard to attack. It was naturally suitable for setting up a formation. It could be said that one man could hold off ten thousand men. Therefore, the demon cult had set this place as one of their strongholds and also a very important branch.

In the early years, the demonic sect used this striking terrain to attract people to attack and buried many overconfident Righteous cultivators. The soil under the shady cliff was still blood-red, which was the result of a large number of corpses sinking into the soil at that time.

Among the countless strongholds of the demonic sect, Wuyin Cliff was above average. Because of its unique terrain advantage, it attracted people of the Righteous Path who did not know the truth. Those who suffered in Wuyin Cliff were unable to leave and pass on the news to others. In addition, the demonic sect had deliberately created chaos to conceal the news, so the information of the danger here had not been spread on-large scale. There were always some hotheaded people who did not know about it. It became normal for them to come to encircle and annihilate the enemy. It was very easy to make a contribution in this place, which was why the people in charge of the branch changed very quickly.

Under normal circumstances, it was basically those who were sent or were about to be promoted by the chief. They would be transferred back or promoted after making a wave of contributions, and they would be replaced every few years.

The person in charge of this branch was the Guardian that the famous elder, ‘Thousand-Hand Demon Eye’ Pei She, personally promoted…

Xue Yan.

It was not the good-for-nothing young master of the Xue family of Jiang Kingdom, Xue Yan. It was the new talent of the demonic sect, ‘Silver Thunder Demonic Fiend’ Xue Yan.

…

The heavy rain on the Spirit Transformation River was endless, and the Wuyin Cliff was naturally covered by it.

In the rain, the person who made the report hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. He half-knelt on the ground and respectfully said, “Reporting to Guardian, Lord Holy Messenger has suddenly arrived.”

The cold air of the wind and rain was isolated outside by the spiritual power scattered in the room, and not even a little bit was able to leak in.

Xue Yan, who was wearing a dark blue Guardian robe, raised his head from behind the desk. He stopped writing and frowned, “Holy Messenger?”

He was now very familiar with the internal structure of this huge organization.

In addition to the 24 Elders, 72 Guardians, the Masters of each altar branch, and countless basic disciples, there was a Holy Maiden whose status was transcendent. In fact, from a symbolic point of view, she was even higher than the Sect Master.

In addition, there was also a Holy Messenger. He was the one who conveyed the orders of the Holy Maiden and patrolled the area. With the Holy Maiden behind her, she was like a Holy Maiden to them. However, in reality, very few people had ever seen this Holy Messenger.

Moreover, those who had seen the Holy Messenger said that she looked like a beautiful young girl, so much so that it was rumored that the Holy Messenger was actually a private pet of the Holy Maiden.

Although it seemed a little outrageous, the Holy Maiden, Pihuan Luo, was known for her cruelty and had the responsibility to maintain her chastity. Therefore, this statement was highly credible.

But why did the Holy Messenger suddenly come here?

Most of the main forces of the sect had already headed north, including ‘Thousand-Hand Demon Eye’ Pei She. Now, under the orders of the Holy Maiden, a portion of the forces had been sent out to launch a sneak attack on the Jade Mirage Sect. Wuyin Cliff was extremely peaceful, which was rare. Nothing had happened.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be because of the conflict with the Righteous, so there was no reason for a Holy Messenger to patrol here.

Then, could it be that… He had been exposed?

However, Xue Yan was confident that he had not exposed any flaws. Even Pei She, who had been with him for the past few months, did not suspect him at all. His appearance at Wuyin Cliff was the best proof of his trust.

Could it be that the Saint Messenger of this generation really had such magical powers?

Xue Yan pondered for a moment and decided to bide his time. He did not want to lose his composure and disappoint Senior’s trust and efforts, so he said, “Send someone to lead the Holy Messenger to the main hall and receive her properly. Don’t neglect her. I’ll be there soon.”

“Yes.” The person who made the report respectfully cupped his fists and then added, “Deputy Altar Master Han is already in the front corridor receiving the Holy Messenger.”

Hearing this, Xue Yan put down the pen in his hand, walked out from behind the desk, and strode out.” Since the Deputy Altar Master is already here, I’ll seem arrogant if I don’t go.”

The status of the Holy Messenger was extremely high. Generally speaking, there was always a process to receive the Holy Messenger. The Holy Messenger, who was tired from the long journey and had lowered her status to come here, would first rest in the front hall. Then, the person in charge of the inspection would tidy up his appearance and respectfully greet the Holy Messenger.

If he directly went up to them, it would be against the rules and show no respect.

He did not expect Han Tianyi, who was usually arrogant, to disregard the rules and be so eager to please the Holy Messenger.

Xue Yan had just come to take over the position of Altar Master not long ago, and he had just explored the whole of the Wuyin Cliff — of course, what he was thinking about was how to eradicate this malignant tumor that had buried countless Righteous people.

Han Tianyi was one of the only two Deputy Altar Masters of Wuyin Cliff. He was a Soul Formation stage cultivator, and in terms of his position, he was a Guardian of the same level as Xue Yan. However, his father was the previous Deputy Altar Master of Wuyin Cliff and one of the 24 Elders, so he had the arrogance of a second-generation cultivator.

Moreover, the Altar Master of Wuyin Cliff was always changing, but the Deputy Altar Master was fixed all year round. Although he was called an assistant, he was actually the real local tyrant of Wuyin Cliff. He was extremely familiar with the people here, and the successive Altar Masters who came to succeed him had to be polite to him.

However, when Xue Yan walked to the front corridor and saw the Holy Maiden’s true appearance, he finally understood why the arrogant Han Tianyi was so anxious.

As the rumors said, she was indeed a beautiful young girl.

Black hair, white clothes, snow-white skin, red lips, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were as calm as an ancient well. In the dark rain around him, his whole person seemed to have a layer of faint light, and she did not seem like a real person.

However, at this moment, the Holy Messenger seemed to be a little travel-worn, and there were two younger girls following behind her. They were probably maidservants or the like, and they were both quite good-looking.

However, Xue Yan had seen Ning Xiangrong’s beauty in Water Moon Dock, and the impact was not on the same level, so he was able to stabilize his mind.

He took a deep breath and walked up to her. He saw Han Tianyi, who was leading the way in front of the girl, smiling, but his eyes were full of greed.

It’s this ugly thing again…

Xue Yan’s heart was filled with disgust and hatred. In the demonic sect, the most common thing he saw was the ugliness of human nature. The more he saw, the more determined he was to eliminate evil and protect the Dao.

In the past few months, he had already killed several evil demonic sect members by creating personal grudges. Every time he thought about it, he felt extremely happy.

The reason why ‘Silver Thunder Demonic Fiend’ had become famous so quickly was also because of his rabid dog-like ruthlessness. However, because he had done everything righteously and cleanly every time, the higher-ups actually admired his cautious style.

Han Tianyi was undoubtedly the first target of the cliff.

As long as this Deputy Altar Master was killed, at least 30 percent of the Wuyin Cliff would be destroyed.

After a few months of training, Xue Yan’s personality changed greatly. He had become more determined, and he hid his killing intent well. He smiled and said, “Holy Messenger, welcome. I’m sorry I didn’t go out to welcome you…”

Before he could finish, he saw the young female Holy Messenger’s gaze change slightly. She looked at him and said seriously, “Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger.”

Because of these five words, a huge wave rose in Xue Yan’s heart.

This was clearly the secret code that Senior had told him before!
