The Legend of Divine Destiny
LTI 4 - Fairy Flower From Blue Moon Palace

Shen Lao tried to open his eyes, but the light he was staring at was too bright that his eyes gradually closed. When Shen Lao's eyes opened, he found himself lying on a patch of grass-covered ground.

“I made it out of the Eternal Gorge. I am seventeen years old now. Just like Sister Yang.” Shen Lao recalled his older brother saving him at the cost of his life.

Shen Lao tried to figure out where he was right now. He slowly flew into the air to see the situation around him, as much as possible he looked for the countryside or a city.

‘I want to eat delicious cuisine. First I'll go to the restaurant.’ Shen Lao thought while enjoying the vast forest below. Before long he noticed something strange about the forest, so Shen Lao chose to find out more.

“Heh, it looks like something happened there.” At a glance Shen Lao sensed the aura belonging to a swordsman.

Somewhere in the territory of the Jia Empire was the Forest of Darkness. There was a twenty-two-year-old woman running in the forest that became the nest of the Beast.

“I have to run from that killer!” The woman with the injured body kept running. The woman's steps slowly slowed down, her breathing was interrupted because she had been running for a full day.

When the woman in the light blue dress stopped, a scream and a cry from behind shocked her. He immediately looked back and drew his sword.

‘How can they catch up to me so soon? I have used the hard route!’ The woman was inwardly bent when she saw the black masked killer encircling her.

“Chi Rong Flower Princess from Blue Moon Palace. Surrender, you won't be able to escape the Dark Forest. Leave your body to us.” Said the man wearing a black and burly mask.

“Huang Ni from the Black Water Organization, don't underestimate a woman. I'd rather die by suicide than end up in your hands!” The woman named Chi Rong kept her distance and observed her surroundings.

“You all surrounded him. Remember, you can hurt but don't kill him. Because he is a rare item.” The rugged-looking man named Huang Ni gave orders to dozens of black-masked assassins to attack Chi Rong.

“Free fight. Although you have reached the holy warrior, but your body is already severely injured. Surrender and follow my will, Flower Fairy!” Huang Ni exclaimed loudly while releasing a huge murderous aura.

Chi Rong flowed her blade with deep energy before playing her sword with a gleam. The slashes from all directions he could anticipate. Given that dozens of black masked assassins had reached the Soul Swordsman, Chi Rong was able to overcome them without difficulty. But the injury was severe enough, so Chi Rong was unable to maximize her ability.

Huang Ni saw Chi Rong unable to last longer, “You back off! I'll make you submit to me Flower Fairy!” While pulling the machete, Huang Ni shouted out loud.

Chi Rong welcomed Huang Ni's slash of a machete. It didn't take long for the two to exchange attacks, after exchanging dozens of moves Chi Rong was finally pushed back and received inappropriate treatment from Huang Ni.

“Basic human humiliation!” Chi Rong was furious when Huang Ni deliberately attacked the dress she was wearing. Chi Rong's clothes had many tear marks so as to show off her beautiful body shape to the assassin that surrounded her.

“It's new initially..” Huang Ni looked at Chi Rong lustfully.

Before long Huang Ni smiled grinningly, “We have killed your younger brother-in-law. It's only a matter of time until the Blue Moon Palace's hideout is found, then you female warriors will become our slaves!”

Chi Rong's face was filled with anger hearing Huang Ni's words. His body trembled violently considering his sister who died horribly. Both of his eyeballs stared intently at Huang Ni before moving based on anger.

“At last the brothers will be our meal..” Huang Ni laughed as he welcomed the attack after attack that Chi Rong had launched.

“Time to touch you, Flower Fairy.” Huang Ni intended to immobilize Chi Rong so as not to become a swordsman, but his body trembled violently when his finger had yet to touch Chi Rong's stomach, a young man's voice sounded.

“Nona, do you need my help?” The voice of the young man from above echoed. Slowly the young man descended upon the black masked assassin who was sculpting.

“I don't need men's help! You are all trash!” Chi Rong insisted on not asking for help from a young man who was none other than Shen Lao.

“Looks like you have a past that makes you like this. I myself have a past with a group like you.” Shen Lao formed an invisible sword using the Sword Arts Without Being.

Huang Ni was intending to say something, but he had yet to speak, something like a sharp weapon touched his neck.

“Heh, Early Stage Sacred Swordsman?” Shen Lao stared intently at Huang Ni before severing the black masked man's right hand.

“Argh! You!” Huang Ni groaned in pain and stared intently at Shen Lao.

Shen Lao's actions made dozens of black-masked assassins keep their distance, even Chi Rong was shocked to see nothing in Shen Lao's hands. Shen Lao's hand movements looked like he was hitting the air, but the truth was that Shen Lao was grasping an invisible sword formed from his aura and inner power.

“Tell me about your organization and the name of this region. I was rushing to the restaurant, so don't waste my time. Because of the hunger for decent cuisine there is also a limit.” Although it sounded friendly, but Shen Lao's voice was like lightning striking the body of Huang Ni and the black masked assassin.

“Alright, I'll explain..” Huang Ni's face was filled with cold sweat. Then he told me that the forest they were walking in was the Forest of Darkness.

Huang Ni was from the Black Water Organization and was one of the five chairmen who occupied the highest positions in the Black Water Organization. In the martial world Huang Ni is known as a hitman who targets young girls. And anyone who deals with the Black Water Organization will not survive because of the large number of members of the organization.

Huang Ni smiled with a grin after telling about herself and the Black Water Organization to Shen Lao. The black-masked man thought that Shen Lao would be frightened for having dealt with the Black Water Organization.

‘I'll repay you for this!’ Huang Ni intended to torture Shen Lao after the young man in front of him became aware of his actions.

“So this Forest of Darkness.” Shen Lao waved his sword. But the person who saw it actually thought Shen Lao was hitting the air.

“It looks like you guys will be my practice friends..” After saying so, Shen Lao instantly cut off Huang Ni's neck and moved swiftly to kill the black masked assassin who was sculpting at her.

Chi Rong's breathing weakened after seeing that Shen Lao could kill Huang Ni easily. Chi Rong's body had reached its limit and lost consciousness.

Shen Lao plundered the items that were on the black masked assassin robe.

“Useful information.” Shen Lao took the records and location plans from Huang Ni's robe.

After taking all the belongings of the black masked assassin and storing them in the Infinite Space Seal, Shen merylic Chi Rong who was lying on the ground.

“If I wasn't anywhere near here, maybe you wouldn't have kept your life. Maybe fate brought you to me.” Shen Lao examined Chi Rong's weakened pulse. Then he carried her before flying over.

Shen Lao looked at Chi Rong's face intently. This was the first time he had seen a woman in person after such a long time.
