Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 188: Assuming the Position of Holy Maiden and Opening the Gate of Wanling (4)
Xuanyuan Yan considered this and then sat back down.
"Hmph, Holy Maiden, you’re being too overbearing. If the Hidden Clan falls under your command, none of us will have the face to meet our ancestors." Elder Wu said indignantly, standing up and refusing to accept this.
"Oh, so without me as the Holy Maiden, the Hidden Clan would be better and stronger?" Squinting her eyes and looking at the dissatisfied Elder Wu, she waved her little hand and with a loud crash, Elder Wu’s chair split apart.
Elder Wu quickly turned around to see the chair broken into pieces on the floor and, noticing a petal on one of the chair legs, looked at the Holy Maiden in astonishment.
Her cold gaze swept over Elder Wu, and she said indifferently, "This is a lesson for disrespecting the Holy Maiden. You may stand and listen."
Although Elder Wu was embarrassed, looking at Feng Xuxu, he couldn’t help but be curious. A delicate petal, without the aid of Inner Strength, had shattered a stool; he definitely had to ask the Holy Maiden about it later. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Feng Xuxu, not realizing that from that day on, every time he saw Elder Wu, Feng Xuxu would take a detour. If she couldn’t avoid him, she would have to knock Elder Wu unconscious and run away. Brawling was too exhausting.
Xuanyuan Zhen silently nodded his head, very proud of his granddaughter. One must have the spirit to lead everyone forward.
"From now on, the Holy Maiden will preside over all affairs. If there’s anything in the future, just seek out the Holy Maiden," the Clan Leader said, sitting in his chair and looking over the crowd.
"Clan Leader, Holy Maiden, when will we open the gate to the Wanling Abyss?" Elder Wen stood up and asked respectfully.
"Hmm, there is no better day than today. As everyone is here, let us all witness the Holy Maiden opening the Wanling Gate." She stood up and walked towards the forbidden area of the castle, guided by the Clan Leader. Standing behind the barrier of the forbidden area, she shouted loudly, "I am the Clan Leader of the Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan Zhen, and today, I have brought the Holy Maiden and everyone here to the forbidden place, seeking an audience with the Guardian to open the Wanling Gate and reign over the Wanling Abyss." As the last words fell, an old man in black, with white hair and a long beard, appeared suddenly before them.
"To open the gate, the fresh blood of the Holy Maiden is necessary," the old man said in a hoarse voice to Xuanyuan Zhen.
"I am the Holy Maiden. Use my blood to open the gate," Feng Xuxu stepped forward and said.
A slight smile tugged at the mouth beneath the old man’s beard. "Follow me." He led Feng Xuxu to the gate, drew a line of blood on the palm of her hand, lifted her hand, and placed it in the contours of the door. A buzzing sound followed, and the gate began to open. Xuanyuan Zhen, separated by the barrier of the forbidden area, saw the gate slowly opening and tears of excitement fell from his face.
"Clan Leader, it’s done, the gate is opening, and the Wanling Abyss is finally restored to daylight," Elder Yi, excited, grabbed the barrier and eagerly spoke to the Clan Leader.
"Yes, yes, yes, look quickly, the Protectors are coming out." Elder Wen saw several people emerging from the gate, each with the emblem of the Wanling Abyss Protectors, a spider, embroidered on their clothing.
Feng Xuxu saw the gate open and four individuals dressed in pure white robes approaching her. On their collars was an embroidered black spider. Staring closely, she noticed that their skin was pale without any hint of color, a symptom of a life without sunlight.
One of them stepped forward and asked Feng Xuxu, "Was it you who opened the gate?" Narrowing his eyes, he looked at Feng Xuxu.
"Yes, it was me." She faced the lifeless eyes without flinching.
"Come with me to awaken the Death Warriors. If the Death Warriors are successfully awakened, you will become the true Holy Maiden and can lead us."
The old man quietly said to Feng Xuxu, standing by her side, "Go ahead, don’t be afraid, I will be here waiting for your good news."
