CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 116 SAINTESS DECREE WITH ABUNDANT REWARDS, MYSTERIOUS PRISON_2

The surrounding Martial Cultivators also respectfully cupped their hands in greeting, their faces full of reverence. Elder Hua Yanluo of the Celestial Sect held a position higher than Prefect Liy, wielding great power and authority. Usually residing in the inner city, they rarely had a chance to meet her. Now that they could greet her up close, they were naturally very eager.

Hua Yanluo nodded slightly and said, "Recently, I encountered a Tier Seven Great Demon in the Secret Realm and fought a bitter battle without success. That Tier Seven Great Demon will likely track me here. At this moment of crisis, I used the Profound Phoenix Flame to summon all of you, hoping we can join forces to fight that Tier Seven Brown Bear Liao People!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the over four hundred Martial Cultivators present changed abruptly. A Tier Seven Great Demon... and it was the Brown Bear Liao People, infamous for its brutal strength! How could they not be afraid? Even a single Late Stage Tier Five Brown Bear Liao People would be deadly enough that not one of the four hundred plus Martial Cultivators present could face it alone! The Brown Bear Liao People’s Talent, Frenzy Palm, could unleash twelve times its normal power. Any Martial Artist of the Same Tier would perish upon contact, shattering instantly!

Seeing their expressions, Elder Hua Yanluo frowned. She briefly explained the plan she had previously discussed with Xiaoo Ying’Er: to use Corpse Scorpion Venom against the Tier Seven Great Demon.

Instantly, the faces of the numerous Martial Cultivators changed once more; fear flickered in everyone’s eyes. Who wouldn’t be afraid of Corpse Scorpion Venom?

At best, it could lower one’s Cultivation; at worst, it could turn one into a half-dead Poison Corpse and annihilate their Divine Soul!

Amidst their fear and hesitation, Xiaoo Ying’Er’s voice suddenly came from a small sedan in the distance, "Whoever uses Corpse Scorpion Venom to affect the Tier Seven Great Demon will be rewarded with fifty thousand jin of Tier Three Demon Flesh. Whoever uses Corpse Scorpion Venom to lower the Tier Seven Great Demon’s Cultivation will be rewarded with one hundred thousand jin of Tier Three Demon Flesh, a Ghost Frog King’s Demon Pearl, and the position of City Lord. Whoever uses Corpse Scorpion Venom to reduce the Tier Seven Great Demon’s Cultivation to Tier Six will be rewarded with two hundred thousand jin of Tier Three Demon Flesh and three Demon Fox Demon Pearls. They will also be granted the position of Second-Grade Saint-Protector General, whose salary and status are one grade higher than the Prefect’s! Survivors will receive their rewards; the families of those who sacrifice themselves will receive double!"

As Xiaoo Ying’Er’s voice spread, the Martial Cultivators, whose faces had previously shown terror, now looked confused. Soon, however, most of their breathing grew heavy, and many secretly gulped. Even if they weren’t sure who was in that ordinary small sedan or whether her words held weight, just hearing the rewards was enough to stir their hearts! Tens of thousands, even up to two hundred thousand jin of Tier Three Demon Flesh; three incredibly valuable Demon Fox Demon Pearls and one Ghost Frog King’s Demon Pearl; the unique position of Saint-Protector General, with status higher than a Prefect... These successive rewards struck them like a bolt from the blue! The highest-ranking person among them was merely a Vice City Lord of one of the Great Marsh Hundred Cities, a position a full four levels below that of a Prefect. And this didn’t even take into account such coveted rewards as the Demon Fox Demon Pearls and the Ghost Frog King’s Demon Pearl!

At this moment, Elder Hua Yanluo suddenly furrowed her brows and sternly commanded, "The Saintess has issued her decree in person! What are you all dawdling for?"

"The Saintess? The Saintess herself has come?!"

"That ordinary small sedan actually holds the Saintess!"

"Heavens! That’s the Third Princess of Great Xia!"

"It’s the Saintess! It’s truly the Saintess!"

The crowd immediately snapped out of their daze, looking towards the small sedan in the distance with utter astonishment.

Zhou Zhenghu, the Vice City Lord of Prison Dragon City, was the first to rush near the sedan, kneeling with a THUD. "Greetings, Saintess! This subordinate is willing to lay down his life to resolve the Saintess’s concerns!"

Seeing Vice City Lord Zhou Zhenghu act in such a manner, the over four hundred Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators all knelt down one after another, collectively shouting, "Greetings, Saintess!"

Dozens of Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators’ eyes lit up as they shouted, "We will definitely resolve the Saintess’s concerns!" "We vow to eliminate the Demons for the Saintess!" "We are willing to go through fire and water, shrinking from no sacrifice!"

If Hua Yanluo was a great personage they could only dream of currying favor with, then the Saintess Xiaoo Ying’Er in the sedan was a transcendent figure so lofty they wouldn’t have dared to even entertain the thought of approaching her before!Now that they knew the Saintess was in the sedan, even without the rewards, they would be eager to get stained with Corpse Scorpion Venom if it meant brushing against that Tier Seven Great Demon... If they could truly win the Saintess’s favor and survive, not only would they themselves secure rewards and ensure worry-free Cultivation in the future, but their entire families would instantly become the most sought-after and untouchable top-tier clans in the Great Marsh Prefecture—even their chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven!

Seeing this, Elder Hua Yanluo nodded slightly and said, "City Lord Zhou, arrange for some people to continue gathering the Martial Cultivators arriving here. The rest will immediately follow the Saintess to the Secret Realm Center to prepare to engage that Tier Seven Great Demon!"

Beside the Profound Iron Cage, Lin Xuankong was about to open it to grab the palm-sized Tier Five Corpse Scorpion. However, after carefully examining the Profound Iron Cage, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. The Profound Iron Cage appeared to be only eight inches high and eight inches square, seemingly unremarkable. However, each vertical and horizontal bar of the cage was engraved with thousands of dense, intricate, and unique profound Inscriptions, and embedded within these Inscriptions were thousands of extremely fine jade pieces.Although the Tier Five Corpse Scorpion trapped within the Profound Iron Cage continuously pulsed with Demon Qi and venom, it was rendered completely immobile by the gleaming of countless fine jade pieces and Runes. Furthermore, the Tier Five Corpse Scorpion’s Demon Qi and venom were suppressed and contained near its body, unable to diffuse even slightly!
