Chapter 7: Women Will Only Affect My Sword Speed, But Empress Won’t
A saintess was a being revered by thousands of people.
Only the successor of the Sacred Lands had the right to be called a saintess.
Every saintess had at least the power of the Transforming Sea Realm.
As the head of the Sacred Lands, even if her strength was not strong, the saintess’s status was almost on par with Empress Qingyue’s.
“When did I ever have contact with a saintess?”
Nie Chen thought back, but he couldn’t remember ever knowing a saintess.
However, this reward came just in time.
The reward, the Infernal Red Lotus, was not a physical object, but a spiritual energy that merged into Nie Chen’s body.
As the Infernal Red Lotus, like a flame, completely merged with his body, Nie Chen’s aura suddenly surged, and his body’s every pore erupted with rolling heat waves.
The invisible heat waves could even counter the high temperature inside the Red Flame Tower.
“Boom!”
A loud explosion echoed through the Red Flame Tower, and a red fire lotus suddenly spread out in all directions.
The flames even spilled out of the tower, reducing the surrounding area to ashes.
Qi Condensation Realm initial stage, Qi Condensation Realm middle stage, Qi Condensation Realm late stage.
Nie Chen’s aura continued to rise, and in an instant, he transformed from an ordinary person without any cultivation to a cultivator with several years or even decades of experience.
The scorching heat came again, but this time, Nie Chen didn’t dodge or hide, allowing the flames to engulf his body.
[Resisting the flames, fire resistance +96]
The Ancient Sacred Body was indeed the strongest sacred body in ancient times, and the flames didn’t cause any substantial harm to Nie Chen.
For someone who could adapt to high temperatures and scorching heat, the flames became a rare and precious treasure.
“How is this possible? Even the sect leader can only reach the sixth layer, and Nie Chen can reach it without any injuries!”
“Didn’t someone say Nie Chen was a waste? This aura is at least at the Qi Condensation Realm middle stage or above!”
When Nie Chen walked out of the Red Flame Tower, all the disciples of the Youming Sect were stunned, their eyes fixed on him in shock.
Even the cunning sect leader, Meng Yangqiu, couldn’t hide his surprise.
“It’s nothing, just a small show, disperse!”
Nie Chen waved his hand casually.
He still planned to research the Token Stone and prepare for his date with Chu Qingyue, and he didn’t want to waste time here.
However, this time, the disciples of the Youming Sect were thoroughly shocked and couldn’t calm down.
“No wonder only Nie Chen was qualified to be chosen to send a War Letter to Empress Qingyue and return safely.
It turns out that Nie Chen was not a waste, but was hiding his strength all along!”
After all, in almost an instant, Nie Chen had condensed his qi and reached the Qi Condensation Realm late stage, and even entered the sixth layer of the Red Flame Tower, which was a feat that even the sect leader could barely achieve.
This situation was unbelievable.
Unless Nie Chen had been hiding his strength from the beginning, there was no other explanation.
The disciples of the Youming Sect regretted their past actions and felt ashamed of their behavior.
“I used to mock Nie Chen for not having any cultivation talent, but now I realize that I was the fool!”
“I used to lead the ridicule against Nie Chen, and now I feel like a scumbag!”
Many people wanted to slap themselves.
Someone suddenly took the lead and ran forward, taking out all their spirit stones and magical treasures and offering them to Nie Chen with both hands.
“Please, Nie Chen, accept these as an apology for my past wrongdoings!”
Although these spirit stones and magical treasures were of poor quality, Nie Chen didn’t refuse and took them.
Nie Chen stopped and shouted, “If you want to apologize, hurry up and bring your gifts! Don’t be late!”
“I’m coming, I’m coming!”
“Nie Chen, please accept our gifts!”
Some people wanted to curry favor with Nie Chen, while others were afraid of his revenge.
The disciples of the Youming Sect rushed forward, throwing their spirit stones, magical treasures, and elixirs into the bag.
In no time, the bag was filled to the brim.
Even a few elders took out their treasures as apologies.
The large bag was completely filled.
Nie Chen carried it on his back, feeling a bit heavy.
Just then, a fragrant wind blew, and Ke Ruoling walked through the crowd to Nie Chen’s side.
Ke Ruoling was the sect leader’s direct disciple and had a high status within the sect.
Not only was she talented, but she was also beautiful, with a captivating smile.
She walked up to Nie Chen and gently placed her hand on the bag, asking softly, “Nie Chen, is it heavy? Do you need me to help you carry it?”
“Ke Ruoling is actually offering to help Nie Chen!”
The disciples of the Youming Sect felt a pang of pain in their hearts.
After all, Ke Ruoling was usually an unattainable existence for them.
But Nie Chen didn’t seem to appreciate the offer and instead placed the heavy bag on Ke Ruoling’s shoulders.
Ke Ruoling’s slender body sank under the weight, and she almost fell over.
Nie Chen turned around and asked, “Is it heavy?”
“It’s…it’s fine.”
Ke Ruoling forced a smile, and sweat dripped down her forehead.
“Oh, then continue carrying it.”
Nie Chen nodded indifferently.
The disciples of the Youming Sect were furious.
Even if Nie Chen was strong, they couldn’t tolerate this behavior!
“Nie Chen, don’t you know how to treat a lady? Ke Ruoling is a delicate woman, and you’re making her carry such a heavy bag! Are you still a man? Don’t you know how to be gentle with women?”
Nie Chen chuckled and walked away, leaving behind a carefree figure.
“Women will only affect my sword speed.”
But then he seemed to remember something and added, “However, the Empress won’t, because Empress will give me a good sword.”
With that, Nie Chen ignored Ke Ruoling’s struggles and walked away.
