Chapter 35: Hidden Heaven Sect
Under the dark sky, there was a collection of gray clouds.
They moved as if the wind was blowing them. Sometimes they go west and sometimes they go east.
Some of the clouds evaporated, dropping rain on the land below.
Jian Yixue couldn't help but be surprised as she looked down.
She found dozens of giant creatures that she herself did not know what they were.
They lay down and their eyes were tightly shut.
Not a single breath escaped their noses, but their bodies were somehow still emitting an extremely oppressive aura.
According to her estimation, their size was no smaller than the Purple Ocean Dragon.
Apart from them, she even saw a row of pitch-black coffins. A terrifying aura radiated from within them
In a place far enough away, there was a very large treasure chest, almost as big as the bodies of those giant creatures.
For now, Jian Yixue had no interest in investigating them. She also knew that she couldn't because right in front of her was an extremely dense looking cloud.
Above the cloud, there was a round table with seventeen chairs and a throne surrounding it.
The throne and four of the seventeen chairs were occupied by figures shrouded in a haze of smog in which only the shape of their bodies was quite clear.
They consist of four men and one woman.
In front of each of them, there was a table with one word written on it.
The table in front of the figure on the throne read "Dragon."
In front of women, "Rabbit."
The other three are Snake, Crocodile, and Monkey.
Even though their faces were covered, Jian Yixue could feel their gazes fixed on her.
She also found her condition the same as them, shrouded in a haze of smoke.
Jian Yixue raised the sword in her hand and said, "Who are you guys?"
She was also still able to release her aura.
Here, the aura couldn't even affect the air, but the figures seemed uncomfortable because of the aura except for the figure on the throne.
"Please calm down, Miss... We are not criminals, you will not be harmed sitting with us," said the figure on the throne or the Dragon. He seemed to have just taken a deep breath.
The woman sat on the chair next to his throne, she added, "I was also like you when I first arrived here, the others too, but believe me, it's just a kind of closed-door gathering under the power of this place."
"The benefits are naturally huge... We all come from different places, but we can exchange information about our place," the Monkey added. His voice was a bit hoarse and his body was a bit short. Jian Yixue estimated he was an old man.
Hearing their words, she couldn't help but knit her brows and put on a strange expression.
"Miss, you are definitely not an ordinary person, please sit down first," said the Dragon who could clearly see her expression.
"You'd better not toy with me," Jian Yixue replied.
She finally chose a chair, which was on the other side so she was quite far from them.
A table appeared in front of her, it was still empty.
"You can write your pseudonym."
Jian Yixue thought for a while and finally wrote the word "Sword."
"A word worthy of you, Miss." The Dragon seemed to nod.
"So what is this?" Jian Yixue asked again.
"Like I said before, you were chosen by this place, it's something random.
"A meeting is held once a month, each member will be called but can still refuse.
"At the moment there are actually two members who are not coming, they are busy.
"In every meeting, we will discuss, exchange information, or whatever."
"So this is some kind of secret organization?" Jian Yixue couldn't help but show a disdainful expression.
She wasn't sure about the Dragon's strength, but the other four, she felt they weren't that strong.
The dragon nodded and said, "This is called the Hidden Heaven Sect."
"Hmph, I thought you guys could shake up a small continent if you all stayed there," Jian Yixue replied, causing the figures to emit an ominous aura.
"Don't be arrogant," said the Snake. His voice sounded dignified.
"Lord Dragon, please tell her what else we have."
The Dragon nodded and looked down at the land below.
"Of course, this isn't just a place for discussion... You can also obtain priceless treasures."
Right after the Dragon said that, Jian Yixue suddenly found the number 0 appearing in front of her.
"As long as you complete the missions I gave you, you will earn Contribution Points which can be exchanged for various treasures."
"What now, do you still think we are just a small organization?" Rabbit added with a chuckle.
"Oh, I'll remind you... This place will send a seal on your body so you can't say anything about it..."
Jian Yixue was silent.
After that, they started discussing...
In addition to speaking in person, they can also speak via Voice Transmission so that only the two people speaking can hear.
Throughout the conversation, Jian Yixue remained silent, she just continued to observe them.
They didn't mind either, it seemed like they were giving her a chance to adapt.
Nearly an hour later, the Dragon tapped the table with his fingers.
"Okay, the meeting ends here," he said.
Right after that, his and the others' figures began to blur.
Whoosh...
They disappeared, leaving the space in silence.
Jian Yixue returned to her room. The gray mist was gone and there was nothing out of the ordinary in the room.
However, she felt something in her body for a moment. It made her expression bad.
"Shit," she said absentmindedly.
After calming down enough, she started to think...
...
On the Divine Continent, Qin Yuan was hugging Qian Suyun's naked body.
One time is definitely not enough.
Just a few minutes after that was over, he started feeling excited again.
However, just as he was about to wake up, he suddenly received a notification from the system.
Ding
[Jian Yixue has an important secret that could affect you and your sect.]
[Under normal circumstances, you can make her talk or she will die.]
[However, at this moment, there is a foreign power sealing off her body so she can't tell.]
[The seal will kill her if she speaks... If you find the seal, it will destroy itself.]
[You can use 1,000 Karma Points to remove the seal.]
"Wait, what exactly happened?" Qin Yuan was immediately confused because all he knew, Jian Yixue was currently in his palace.
