Chapter 1835: Pitiful, too pitiful

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven was deeply confused.

He had no idea as to why Scarlet Heaven Sword had transformed into a young girl when the battle had been in full swing.

The hilt became her head, the grip her neck, and the handguard her shoulders. The sword’s blade turned into her slender and thin body, and even a skirt appeared out of nowhere.

What was the most heart-stifling in that dream was that he gripped onto the young girl’s neck as he fought the powerful enemy with all his might!

Squeezing the neck of the thin and weak-looking girl, he used her slender body to fight against the enemy’s magical treasure. From time to time, he would also use the thin girl’s body to strike the enemy’s body. Besides that, he even used the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique several times…

After waking up from this dream, Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s entire person did not feel great.

An existence of his level generally would not dream for no reason. The dreams that those at his level had were usually foreshadowing.

It can’t be that problems are arising with Scarlet Heaven Sword, right?

Because he was a little worried about the state of his life-bound sword, Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven crossed through space and came to its side.

As soon as he came out of the spatial gate, he was confronted by someone. He was greeted by a woman in tattered leather armor throwing a flaming fist at his face.

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven didn’t want to be hit, so he stretched out his hand and blocked her fist by grabbing it.

Turning to Song Shuhang and Scarlet Heaven Sword, he asked, “By the way, can you tell me what’s going on?”

“Hehe~ I didn’t expect you to suddenly come over. Scarlet Heaven, you came at the right time,” said Scarlet Heaven Sword happily—its energy was mostly consumed, and it wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. Scarlet Heaven came just in time to recharge it. After it was recharged, it could easily fight the other party for another 300 rounds.

“You aren’t my target!” said the leather-armored woman. Her fist was still stuck in Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s grasp. She desperately urged the flames shrouding her fist, but the other party seemed not to even notice it.

“This is what’s happening, Senior. Before you appeared, I was being bullied again. This time, by her,” said Song Shuhang as he pointed at the woman in leather armor.

“…” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.

The word “again” in little friend Song Shuhang’s sentence truly makes him appear pitiful.

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven glanced at the leather-armored woman, whose fist he was blocking, and estimated her strength—peak of the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm. Moreover, she had seemingly touched upon her own path and made contact with an Immortal-level Law.

He also discovered that the leather-armored woman was in a severely weakened state. It seemed as if she had just come out of a seal. Either that, or she had yet to heal from a serious injury. It was already a wonder as to how she was able to even exert much strength in battle.

This level was already at the top of the pyramid of strength in the universe.

Why is little friend Song Shuhang often being hunted down by big shots who are far more powerful than him?

“What did you do to her?” asked Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven. He subconsciously wondered if Song Shuhang had provoked the leather-armored woman.

“It isn’t my fault this time,” Song Shuhang said. “This person should be a survivor of the Ancient Heavenly City, and she has a grudge with Cheng Lin. As soon as she saw me, she regarded me as her reincarnation and insisted on fighting me.”

I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m innocent. I’m just a passerby who suddenly got involved in a tragedy!

“I see.” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven turned to look at the woman in leather armor. “Fairy, it seems that you’ve indeed gotten it wrong. I can assure you that Song Shuhang isn’t Cheng Lin’s reincarnation. At most, he could be considered Cheng Lin’s successor.”

Despite him trying to clarify things, the look in the leather-armored woman’s eyes as she glared at Song Shuhang became more aggressive, her red eyes filled with madness. As long as Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven loosened his fist, there was no doubt that she would immediately go over and smash Song Shuhang’s face.

“…” Song Shuhang.

On his body, the light of virtue recondensed, and the virtuous lamia, who had previously been blown up, was reborn.

After being reborn, she constantly made strange faces and provoked the women in leather armor, looking particularly childish.

But this kind of childish provocation was very effective, for the leather armored woman gritted her teeth in anger. But despite her attempts, she couldn’t break free from Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s grasp…

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven said, “By the way, I’m here to take Scarlet Heaven Sword away this time. Scarlet Heaven Sword, you should be done playing around now, right?”

He had to take Scarlet Heaven Sword back and care for it lest his sword really did mutate.

Scarlet Heaven Sword said reluctantly, “Ah? You want to take me back now? Can you wait a little longer?”

Song Shuhang was in the process of finishing the Braised Heavenly Tribulation, and Scarlet Heaven Sword wanted to witness the birth of the dish with its own eyes. Moreover, the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ was just too refreshing. It hoped that Scarlet Heaven could learn about it from Song Shuhang.

It really liked what Song Shuhang said previously—even an Immortal’s divine weapon needed maintenance!

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven looked at Scarlet Heaven Sword, who looked really happy and rather unwilling to go home, feeling very tired.

He said solemnly, “No, this time you have to go back with me.”

Scarlet Heaven Sword bargained, “But I still want to understand the Braised Heavenly Tribulation and ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯. Why don’t you stay with me for a while and take me back when Song Shuhang’s banquet is over?”

“Braised Heavenly Tribulation?” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven pinched his chin. Noticing the mention of ‘banquet’, he wondered whether they were planning on eating the heavenly tribulation.

As he thought of this, he grew interested in the creative idea.

But what was the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯? Hearing this name reminded him of the Scarlet Heaven Sword who had turned into a girl in his dream. His intuition told him that this was something that he shouldn’t touch.

Scarlet Heaven Sword began to tempt his master. “In addition to the Braised Heavenly Tribulation, we also have a complete menu of heavenly tribulation dishes. Moreover, we also have fine wine, very high-grade one.”

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven replied, “Alright, I’m interested. I’ll stay with you until the end of the banquet.”

After saying that, he felt something was wrong. When Scarlet Heaven Sword was talking to him just now, it said “we” several times in a row, and those “we” seemed to refer to itself and Song Shuhang. He, its master, was instead treated as an outsider.

“…” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.

After the banquet, I must take my sword away. I can’t let it continue to stay away from myself any longer.

Finally, Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven looked at the woman in leather armor again. After thinking about it, he suddenly released his hand.

The woman quickly retreated. She glanced at Scarlet Heaven and Song Shuhang, and then escaped into a spatial gate, disappearing from their sight.

Scarlet Heaven Sword said curiously, “Scarlet Heaven, why did you let her go?”

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven said calmly, “Suppressing a Tribulation Transcender isn’t an easy task, and killing one is even more troublesome.”

Scarlet Heaven Sword remarked, “Excuses.”

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven laughed. “Hahaha.”

He was using her as bait to catch a bigger fish.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze crossed the barriers of space and vaguely locked onto the coordinates of the leather-armored woman.. After learning that she was a survivor of the Ancient Heavenly City, the daoist priest had secretly marked her.
