Chapter 280 - The Illusory Palace Within Extreme Misty Forest
Extreme Misty Forest.
At a hidden location with the eastern parts of the forest, two figures were seen approaching a white marbled gate in the distance. The whiteness of the gate blends well with the color of the mist. Without coming within a certain range, the white gate would not be visible to other people.
The two figures continued to approach the white gate guarded by two people in ordinary white attire, but with a unique blue butterfly pattern sewed on. They were disciples of Illusory Butterfly Sect.
"Halt your steps! State your identities and reason for visit! Beyond this gate is the territory of Illusory Butterfly Sect!"
"I am an outer disciple." One of the two figures showed the two guards his status plate with trembling hands as he cautious turned to the other figure. "And this… this person is…"
"Stop! Did you hear what I said?!"
The guard barked.
The Spider Queen did not stop when she was told. These lowly humans did not have the right to command her.
The lack of compliance did not anger the guards. Rather, their eyes lit with anticipation as they saw the peerless beauty of the Spider Queen.
They were given a reason to make things difficult for the other party and perhaps, take some liberties. Unbeknownst to them, they were walking down a dangerous path.
"It seems you do not put my words nor the Illusory Butterfly Sect in your eyes. I suspect you are a spy from another sect! I will arrest you and take you back for interrogation. If you don't want to make things harder for yourself, give up any form of resistance!"
The guard reached out his grubby hands with a lewd smile.
A trace of chilling light flickered across the Spider Queen's eyes and the grubby hands of the guard soon froze in its place.
The outer disciple continued to shiver in fear as he had already anticipated what would happen to the guards who act untoward the Spider Queen.
A soft wind blew past and the guard's body dropped to the ground, headless. The guard's head had been cleanly separated from this head and disappeared off to some unknown distance in an instance.
The other guard's smirk froze with trepidation and a looming sense of death. He did not know how the first guard died. Everything happened to quickly, but it was clear that it had something to do with the beautiful woman in front of him.
As the Spider Queen walked past, the second guard did not dare to move an inch. He even forgot to breathe. The outer disciple followed behind carefully with dread. He did not dare to run away.
The closed gate was blown apart from a kick as the Spider Queen stormed through in a domineering manner. Her home was left in shambles, so she came to trash their place!
However!
The Spider Queen stopped in her tracks when she laid her eyes on the majestic white marbled palace in the distance. It had an illusory and ethereal feeling when it is covered in mist.
"This Queen has changed her mind." Spider Queen Arachnia, or rather Arana said as she turned towards the outer disciple. "Go inside and tell everyone to get lost! This Queen has taken a liking to this place."
The outer disciple tremble as he listened. He was just an outer disciple. Who was going to listen to him? Forget about the elders and the Sect Master, even the inner disciple could kill him with a slap for his impudence if he told them all to get lost.
"I'm… I am just an outer disciple. I'm afraid they would kill me if I delivery them your message, your Excellency…"
"Then are you not afraid that this Queen will kill you right now if you don't go?" Arana said teasingly with her lips curved into a sly smile.
The outer disciple was drenched in cold sweat.
"I'll go now…"
The outer disciple ran as fast as he could. Getting the opportunity, he also wanted to get as far away from the Spider Queen as possible as he dashed towards the Illusory Palace of the Illusory Butterfly Sect.
At the same time, quite a few outer disciples and inner disciples were attracted by the booming noise of the busted gate and were drawn to it.
"Beautiful lady, do you not know whose gate you just kicked down? Do you know where you are right now?" An inner disciple reproached, but his eyes were sparkling as he checked the person out with a disrespectful gaze.
"Beautiful lady, if you promise to spend a night with me, I can plead leniency to the elders for you."
"Ptui! Beautiful lady, don't listen to him. Be my woman and I will guarantee your safety."
The male inner disciples approached the Spider Queen one by one with their own agendas and intention.
"What a bunch of blind and horny dogs. They don't even know how the word death is written!"
"Yeah! Do they think just anyone can kick down our gates like that?"
"We should alert the elders. Someone capable has come to cause trouble at our sect."
"En."
The female inner disciples were more level-headed and saw the situation more clearly, but at the same time, they were jealous someone was getting so much more attention than them.
The person who could bust down their gate and not run away when they are all alone had to be someone extremely confidant or an idiot. But even if the person was an idiot, it should be a powerful idiot.
"You all better scram. If you all continue to gaze at this Queen so disrespectfully and come within 30fts, be prepared to die." Arana said with chilling light, but she did not move an inch and continue to wait for the bigwigs to come out.
"Yo~ This lady is quite feisty."
"Hahaha, right? What if I want to come within 30fts of you, your royal Majesty?" The male inner disciple said sarcastically as he took a step within.
Poof!
Blood sprayed from the male inner disciple's headless body as soon as he did and died without every knowing how he died. The headless body fell and twitched a few times before it ultimately stopped forever.
The other approaching inner disciples widened their eyes and immediately paused their steps as beads of cold sweat trickled down the side of their foreheads.
"What just happened? Anyone saw how he died?"
"Holy mama…" A person fell back on his rear and peed his pants. "That person was Inner Disciple Greg…"
"Greg… A 5-Star Ranked Awakener died just like that… Who the hell is this person?"
"Transcendent… She's gotta be a Transcendent! Call the elders—No, call the Sect Master!"
…
Inside a certain meeting hall within Illusory Palace, a group of elders were discussing their next plan for overtaking the Crawford Kingdom with the Sect Master. There were also a few core disciples among the mix. There were all people who had achieved the strength of 7 stars and higher.
"How is the western expedition doing? Has anyone received news from the Grand Elder lately?"
"None. With the Grand Elder's strength, they should have reached the Capital and already started fighting by now. I willing to bet those rinky-dink Crawford Royalties didn't expect this one coming, haha! I believe it won't be long before we get to hear some good news."
"You're being too optimistic, Third Elder."
"Oh? Do you have some news, Fifth Elder? Or do you simply have a different opinion? Do you have something against me, Fifth Elder?"
"Something against you? You think too much, Third Elder." The Fifth Elder said coolly.
"News? I have some. I think everyone will be interested to hear what I found. According to my own sources, The Grand Elder of Bloodfiend Sect had fallen in battle and the main force was absorbed by the enemy."
When the Fifth Elder said this, the hall was completely silence as everyone gathered around the table fell into deep thoughts.
The Sect Master wore a grave look as leaned forward with his elbows rested on the table and fingers locked together.
After sweeping everyone a look, he spoke, "With the nature of the Bloodfiend Sect and our long-time rivalry, we can expect that the Grand Elder of Bloodfiend Sect spilled some vital information to the enemy to get even with us before he died."
"The lost of a Transcendent is enough to send waves through an entire kingdom. What the Sect Master said is most likely true. The Grand Elder of Bloodfiend Sect would not let us have the advantage and would have done something to take our Grand Elder down with him to even out the playing field."
"Those selfish bastards!" Another elder slammed the table in anger. "This might be why we haven't received any news from the Grand Elder."
The Sect Master looked at Fifth Elder and asked, "Did you find out how the Grand Elder of Bloodfiend Sect was killed in battle, Fifth Elder? Did the… Overseer intervened?"
The Sect Master was cautious when the Overseer was mentioned. The Overseer's origins were unclear but each one of them could summon the winds and rains in the Durham kingdom.
Fifth Elder shook his head and sighed despondently.
"We have miscalculated this time and stepped on the dragon's toe. The Grand Elder of Bloodfiend Sect was killed by the Queen of Crawford."
"That's impossible! Queen Elizabeth is just a newly ascended Transcendent! There's no way she would be a match for an experienced Transcendent like the Grand Elder of Bloodfiend Sect!" The Third Elder was quick to refute.
"What if the Queen was a Sword Master?"
"Then… Then…" Third Elder slumped back on his seat with a slightly pale look. "Who would have thought that… that stagnant place that focus on rubbish things like steam power could produce a Sword Master?"
"Not just any Sword Master, but a Sword Master that IS a Transcendent…"
"Sword Masters are known for their heaven-defying attack power. We are in deep sh*t this time. Fortunately, our sect is quite hidden."
The Sect Master sighed.
