The General's Genius Daughter

Those people were sent flying by the Fiery Divine Tree and they crashed to the ground, wailing like dead pigs. They couldn’t even climb back up to their feet after that.

They paid the price for their reckless actions.

Those who remained calmed down and no longer dared to act rashly. The Fiery Divine Tree seemed so powerful that it seemed as though it could send them to their doom if they tried to act recklessly.

Hongyi yelled coldly, “Why aren’t you snatching the sacred relic? Teachers, go grab it!”

“Young master, please be patient. The Fiery Divine Tree is incredibly powerful!” an elderly woman said darkly. Hua Qiyue glanced at all these women coldly. She didn’t have a good impression of those women at all.

All these people wanted was the sacred relic, so they were waiting for Yun Shimo to deal with the Fiery Divine Tree first. She looked at them and decided that they were all as cunning as foxes.

Yun Shimo could feel the huge pressure that emanated from the Fiery Divine Tree but he quickly formed a handprint with one hand and punched out firmly!

This punch gave off a piercing wind and the Fiery Divine Tree also knew how extraordinary Yun Shimo was, so it stretched out several branches to block the wind from his punch!

Boom—

There was a muffled sound and the Fiery Divine Tree sustained such a large impact that its entire body shook.

“It’s really powerful!” Yun Shimo said in low voice, “Stand back!”

Everyone quickly retreated but Hua Qiyue was worried that Yun Shimo wouldn’t be able to deal with the tree single-handedly. The origins of this Fiery Divine Tree were extremely mysterious and Yun Shimo was only a mere mortal.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course!” Yun Shimo said as he shot her a small smile. The Fiery Divine Tree was enraged and sent half of its branches smashing down ruthlessly and its branches swept toward Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue in a frenzied manner.

Hua Qiyue hurriedly summoned her anima energy and sent out her Imprint of Mountain and River that rushed out so forcefully that the Fiery Divine Tree shook once again.

However, it suddenly quietened as though it had sensed something.

It stood silently, waiting for something.

It stopped all its movements but it continued to guard the Drunken Flower Fan protectively.

Hua Qiyue sensed someone’s gaze on her and this caused all her hairs to rise on end.

The Fiery Divine Tree suddenly sent out its hazy consciousness to interact with Hua Qiyue, “Young girl, you’re really outstanding. However… you really remind me of an old friend of mine!”

After the ancient divine tree spoke, it abruptly released its tree branches and the Drunken Flower Fan landed in Yun Shimo’s hands.

Everyone was shocked that the Fiery Divine Tree had given up willingly and nobody could understand how Yun Shimo had managed to achieve this feat!

“Let’s grab it!”

“Come on, let’s attack together!”

Everyone shouted loudly and even the Gnawing Devils Sect, Babel Sect and Divine Eyes organization who had remained calm earlier were now charging toward Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo.

Huangfu Shenglin and the others naturally tried to stop these people and surprisingly, Hongyi managed to remain calm this time and did not charge forward with his subordinates.

The Fiery Divine Tree released an angry yell and sent its branches sweeping downward. Then, those who were charging toward Hua Qiyue were sent flying one at a time.

“Ah… my leg is broken….”

“This is a monstrous freak! How could it attack us…”

“Run! It’s coming at us again!”

Everyone yelled in horror. In a blink of an eye, the various sects that had been so certain of their victory earlier were all fleeing for their lives. After all, this was a legendary Fiery Divine Tree, so ordinary mortals would not be able to overcome it.

Those from the Divine Eyes organization were more well-versed in Qi Arts, so they managed to land on their feet despite being swept away by the Fiery Divine Tree and examined this tree coldly.

“I guess we’ll have to wait for these people to leave with the sacred relic before we can make our move!” someone said softly.

Then, they stopped trying to charge toward Hua Qiyue and retreated out of this area. However, they did not leave but stared sinisterly at Hua Qiyue and the others from a distance.

Yun Shimo finally obtained the Drunken Flower Fan. The fan was completely red and there was a painting of white snow lotuses and a funny-looking bird on it. It seemed like an ordinary fan but everyone could feel a cold and hot aura from it.

This was such a mysterious fan!

Ji Jing’s eyes widened in pleasure and said, “Brother Yun, are you going to give this fan to Sister Qiyue?”

Who wouldn’t want such a powerful divine weapon?

Hua Qiyue sat calmly on her horse. Due to the immense power of the fan, these treasured horses had fallen to their knees and let out low growls.

“Of course, this should be gifted to my girl,” Yun Shimo said with a small smile and presented the fiery red fan to Hua Qiyue as he said, “Qiyue, I know how much you wanted this. Please accept it.”

Hua Qiyue’s eyes twinkled. She hadn’t expected Yun Shimo to be able to part with this divine weapon. She accepted it graciously and gave him a small smile as she said, “Many thanks, Prince Nan!”

She addressed him as Prince Nan as a form of gratitude and respect.

No matter what his intentions were, she would remember the kindness that he had shown her. She was not a pretentious person and would not reject something that she truly wanted.

Ji Feng and Huangfu Shenglin exchanged a look and they couldn’t help but feel extremely dejected, but what else could they do?

Yun Shimo was much stronger than them and was a good match for Hua Qiyue!

Moreover, Yun Shimo was still single while Huangfu Shenglin had already married two concubines. Ji Feng was also still single, he felt very inferior next to Yun Shimo.

Hua Qiyue examined the Drunken Flower Fan closely and when she opened the fan, she smelled the faint aromatic fragrance of the snow lotus which could make one feel intoxicated.

She finally understood why this fan was known as the Drunken Flower Fan.

“Young girl, you should treasure this fan since you seem to share a bond with it. I will remain here within the mountain and if you need any help… feel free to visit me,” the Fiery Divine Tree said with a sigh and continued, “Since the ancient times, love was empty and after 10,000 years, memories would disappear as well…”

“Thank you, Senior!” Hua Qiyue sent a silent telepathic message. This Fiery Divine Tree was indeed extraordinary and there were legends about the divine beings. It was said that once Qi Artists managed to attain Holy God Stage, they would become gods themselves and enjoy immortality.

Therefore, if this could happen to Qi Artists, then the same could happen possibly happen to plants as well. According to legend, the Fiery Divine Tree had descended from the heavens but no one knew how true this saying was.

“That’s odd. Why didn’t the Fiery Divine Tree try to snatch the fan back? I was expecting an intense battle to erupt at any moment!” a Qi Artist said in confusion.

“Princess Jinghua is known to be an extraordinary woman and I have witnessed her outstanding abilities for myself today. I’m amazed that even the Fiery Divine Tree has been defeated by you!” Huangfu Shenglin said with a smile.

Hua Qiyue gave him a small smile. When she kept the fan, she sensed a warm red glow from the fan and this glow made her feel very comfortable. Was this the ‘bond’ that the Fiery Divine Tree had mentioned?

“We would be prepared for a fierce battle soon,” Yun Shimo’s gaze swept across the people who were lying in wait for them in the distance.

“Let’s go,” Hua Qiyue did not fear those people.

The fan was bone-chillingly cold and she held it securely in her hands and smacked the horse. Then, the lightning treasure horse finally rose to its feet and shakily headed down the mountain.

Hongyi stared bitterly at Hua Qiyue and felt as though Hua Qiyue had reaped all the benefits, so he was naturally full of resentment.

“Young master, you shouldn’t make your move now since that woman is extremely strong. We should only attack after that woman has been critically injured by the other opponents,” his fifth master said coldly.

Mo Yuning was not too worried either. She had witnessed Hua Qiyue’s powerful abilities and Yun Shimo was also a very mysterious person…

Moreover, the Drunken Flower Fan was an extraordinary item, so those people would be lucky to escape with their lives.

Hua Qiyue turned to look back at the silent Fiery Divine Tree before she left the mountain and her eyes were full of gratitude.

If the Fiery Divine Tree had wanted to snatch the sacred relic, it would have definitely managed to take the sacred relic back but it did not do so.

The little hare scoffed coldly and swore quietly “Fiery Divine Tree, you bastard…”

The Fiery Divine Tree immediately telepathically said, “Sun Moon Deity, it’s been a while.”

“Damn it, I can’t believe you managed to recognize me. I’m going to ignore you!”

“10,000 years has passed and everything has changed. You should live well. If you ever need my help once the old freaks from the other dimensions return, do feel free to find me.”

The hare got a fright and telepathically replied, “What did you say? You mean those old freaks are not in this dimension?”

“Indeed. They have gone to an even more powerful dimension with more abundant anima energy and more divine herbs and treasures. Everything is far more plentiful in that dimension than this world but if they find out that you’ve returned…”

“What could they possibly do to me? I’m no longer the same person as I was 10,000 years ago! Those people had joined forces to send my House Master to his death…. I’ve yet to avenge his death!” the hare said bitterly.

Hua Qiyue and the others had already left Five Demons Mountain, so both of them fell silent.

They had nothing else to say to each other.

After they left Five Demons Mountain, those from the other sects trailed after them from a distance, afraid that the Fiery Divine Tree might suddenly interfere.

They had decided that they’d wait till Hua Qiyue was 5,000 meters away from the Fiery Divine Tree before making their move.

Hua Qiyue and the others weren’t too bothered by these people on their tail because they were confident of winning. They smacked their horses’ backs and their horses started sprinted at the speed of light and disappeared in a flash.

“Damn it, those were lightning horses. After them!”

“Sigh, this is such a strain on my spiritual energy!”

“She has a sacred relic, so we’d definitely have to join forces to get it from her. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to explain ourselves in front of our sect leader…”

Everyone shouted loudly and used their Qi Arts to follow hot on the heels of Hua Qiyue and the others.

The lightning horses galloped extremely quickly but those people trailing after them refused to give up. They knew that this would take up a lot of spiritual energy but they were left with no other choice.

Hua Qiyue and the others knew that if this went on, those who were trailing after them would ultimately exhaust all their spiritual energy. Then, it would be easier to take them down.

They soon reached grassy plains and this place was 5,000 meters away from Five Demons Mountain.

“Stop right there and hand over the divine weapon!”

“We’ll kill you if you try to run!”

Those people finally made their move. They sent out dozens of spiritual light that were as piercing as swords toward Hua Qiyue and the others when they saw that they hadn’t slowed down but Yun Shimo easily blocked their attacks.

“Let’s stop to get rid of these people first!” Hua Qiyue said as she tugged on her reins and her horse let out a whinny when it came to a complete stop.

After her group stopped, those who were trailing after them completely surrounded Hua Qiyue and the others and looked greedily at the divine weapon in her hands.

Hongyi and the others were also nearby but they looked on leisurely at this scene. They were waiting for both parties to be critically injured, and then it would be their moment to pounce.

“Little girl, hand over the Drunken Flower Fan. You’re not worthy of possessing such a sacred divine weapon!” the leader of the Gnawing Devils Sect stepped forward and said coldly.

Hua Qiyue arched her brows. This man looked fierce and his Qi Arts was already at the Lower Moon Erosion Stage, so he was extremely powerful and almost as strong as Yun Shimo.

“I’m not worthy? Do you think that a cruel and ruthless sect like the Gnawing Devils Sect that takes innocent lives without a second thought will be worthy of possessing such a sacred weapon then? Humph, those who have a death wish should step forward. Stop wasting my time!” Those people were arrogant but Hua Qiyue was even more arrogant than they were. She waved the Drunken Flower Fan in her hand and wanted to see what its powers were.

The leader of Gnawing Devils Sect was livid.
