The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1262 The Secret Hierographic Name

The masked Divine Messenger repeated coldly again as he stared at the Demoness Empress An Xuanji, "Have you forgotten about the task that I have given to you?"

Although he was saying it to all the leaders of the Desolate Underworld Alliance that was presented in this place, he had directed the question to the Demoness Empress An Xuanji as she was now the leader of the Desolate Underworld Alliance.

There was a look of hesitation in the crimson eyes of the Demoness Empress An Xuanji as she pondered briefly if she ought to be submissive; it was because she had now retrieved the Million Diaspora Lotus and it was a powerful profound weapon that could be used against anyone.

There was a problem though; she could only use it only once on a single foe unless her foes all happened to be at the same place and at the same time. The reason why she could only use it only once was because its profound energies would be depleted for a long time afterward and this lost profound energies could only be regained by nurturing a vast amount of cultivation resources.

Therefore, she could only use it with great care and at the very last resort.

Her late father the Demon Emperor An Taiji was actually planning to use it on the Divine Messenger of the Nine Abyss Realms as a last resort.

But for the Demoness Empress An Xuanji, she had planned to use it on the Nameless Cultivator Ji Yuan or the Holy Maiden Ling Shan.

While the rest of the desolate cultivators had thought that the Holy Maiden Ling Shan was actually weaker than them or she would not be so easily captured, the Demoness Empress An Xuanji had suspected that she may be hiding her true strength.

That was why she had purposely sent the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa to test her out, knowing very well that he was a lecherous man.

Her instructions to him were that he ought to retrieve the Poison Ivy Veins through any necessary means and then he would then end the life of the Holy Maiden Ling Shan to avenge the late Demon Emperor An Taiji.

Among the interrogators of the Holy Maiden Ling Shan were two trusted and powerful elders that she had planted with the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa and they would report any news or updates of the interrogations to her.

The reason why she had put spies with the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa was because she did not actually trust the Demonic Great saint On-Wa as he was an extremely ambitious man and he had his own loyal faction within the Desolate Venom Sect.

Her two spies had secretly told her that the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa had planned to make the Holy Maiden Ling Shan into his living cauldron.

She actually did not mind it as she had considered it a fate worse than death if the Great Demonic Saint On-Wa were to put a slave mark on her.

It was a good means of extracting the Poison Ivy Veins and was a good plan.

However, she was also wary that the Great Demonic Saint On-Wa was trying to obtain the Poison Ivy Veins for himself. Hence, this was the second reason why she had planted two spies near him.

She was also aware and wary that these two elders may be double spies and that they had served the Great Demonic Saint On-Wa as well since they were in his faction.

However, she did not have any choice as she was a newly crowned Demoness Empress and her influence in the Poison Ivy Sect was extremely limited.

Actually she did have a brother named the Demon Prince An Ben and he was supposed to be the rightful heir.

However, many years ago, he had tried to usurp the throne unsuccessfully from their late father and he was now exiled.

There were also many powerful voices within her Desolate Venom Sect and even among the Desolate Underworld Alliance to call for the return of the Demon Prince An Ben to assume the title of the Demon Emperor instead of her.

Regardless, she was no longer the Demoness Princess now and is now the Demoness Empress.

She only had two things that she wanted to accomplish;

One. Retrieve the Poison Ivy Veins that was ripped from her late father.

Two. Avenge her late father by killing the Holy Maiden Ling Shan.

What seemed to be an easy thing for her had suddenly become very difficult.

One. It was because the Demoness Empress An Xuanji did not expect for the Holy Maiden Ling Shan to have escaped from her ordeal and that a Nameless Cultivator Ji Yuan had suddenly rescued her.

This was indeed a trump card of hers that she had not anticipated.

Two. She had almost forgotten that the the Divine Messenger of the Nine Abyss Realms had suddenly appeared some time ago and given a task for the Desolate Underworld to accomplish.

As the Divine Messenger did not say when he would come again, she had thought of putting this matter aside first.

But today, the Divine Messenger had actually arrived!

His suddenly arrival had stunned her and many of the desolate leaders who were all breaking into cold sweats now.

The reason why they were breaking into cold sweats were because when the Divine Messenger had first appeared, many of the desolate cultivators did not take him seriously and many of their senior leaders and elders were all killed by him as though they were like tofu.

The Demoness Empress An Xuanji slowly said, "I remember… our task."

The masked Divine Messenger asked coldly, "And how is it?"

The Demoness Empress An Xuanji took a look at the desolate leaders and elders behind her as she asked, "If anyone of you got any updates, please say so."

But after 3 blinks of an eye, no one spoke.

All of a sudden, the masked Divine Messenger had raised his fingers and blowed the head off a desolate cultivator that was kneeling behind, "Is that so? I say that you are not being too attentive to my requests."

This immediately freaked many of the desolate leaders and elders who were all stammering with great fear.

The Empress Demoness An Xuanji had turned very pale.

When Ji Yuan saw this scene, he was also looking quite startled when he saw the powerful profound power that was displayed all of a sudden; this Divine Messenger was really an extreme cultivator. If anyone had told him that he was an immortal, then Ji Yuan would not be surprised.

The masked Divine Messenger then pointed his fingers at the head of the Demoness Empress An Xuanji, "Tell me then, what is my task to you?"

The Empress Demoness An Xuanji said with trembling lips, "You have tasked us to find out the true hierographic name of the Great Desolate Wyrm…."

"And what is it?" The masked Divine Messenger asked coldly.

The Empress Demoness An Xuanji stammered, "We have searched all the ancient records for a clue and we have even asked numerous of the seclusive sages around… and we have even sent our cultivators to the other underworld domains…"

"It is just a few simple runic words and you need such a long time?! Tell me how simple it is?!" The masked Divine Messenger had suddenly interrupted her.

The Empress Demoness An Xuanji stammered, "It is N-A-S-A-

T."

The masked Divine Messenger had now raised his fingers on her forehead and said coldly, "What do you think it is then?"

The Empress Demoness An Xuanji stammered but she had continued to lift her head high up even though she had broken into cold sweat, "I think it can form the word TANAS."

Ji Yuan could not resist making a guess, "Silly! It is SANTA! I remember an old legend of a cultivator called SANTA that loves to give presents…"

Shui Xisi interrupted Ji Yuan as she was also making a guess, "Oh no, it is SATAN instead. Because the A in the middle looks like eyes and T is the middle is the nose. As for S is the head and the N is the chin…"

"What the heck is this logic?" Ji Yuan frowned an interrupted at Shui Xisi. "It is SANTA, trust me on that…"

All of a sudden the masked Divine Messenger began to stare at the empty cave wall that Ji Yuan and his group were at.

And he was saying coldly in the direction of his eyes, "Who is that?!"

Ji Yuan was startled, "He can see and hear us?!"

Shui Xisi hit him on his back, "Ji Yuan. Shhhhhh! Stop talking now! Or our cover will be blown..."

Ji Yuan stared at her, "You are the one that is talking..."

All of a sudden, the masked Divine Messenger had flickered his fingers and a bolt of powerful profound force had sped toward Ji Yuan's head!
