Chapter 113.1: Demon Sect Leader’s Holy Maiden Concubine (5)
Amidst vibrant reds and pinks, with layers of lush greenery, Jia Ning gracefully glided across the lake’s surface, akin to a gentle breeze flowing through petals. His silver robe trailed behind him, blending seamlessly with the mist, emitting a soft, subtle sheen characteristic of silk.
The enchanting beauty of the lake, resembling a fairyland, quickly receded into the distance. The elegant boat transformed into a tiny, radiant red speck. In every direction, towering ancient trees with expansive canopies seemed to reach for the heavens, creating a natural canopy that covered the sky. Jia Ning’s figure seamlessly weaved through the dense foliage, almost imperceptible within the rich green landscape. He moved like a fleeting silver shadow, akin to a darting electric current, all without disturbing the forest’s wildlife.
The man, who was faster than the wind, arrived at the Gongzhao Palace within moments. This palace perched atop a towering cliff and comprised outer, middle, and inner halls.
Each hall featured offices, meeting rooms, and accommodations for the sect’s high-ranking members. Within the halls, lush courtyards bloomed with exotic flowers and plants, their fragrances dancing in the breeze and creating a distinctive aroma for the Gongzhao Palace.
The cultists stationed outside the palace watched as Jia Ning knelt down and saluted with his right hand over his heart.
After that, despite his inner anxiety, he maintained a focused and unwavering gaze as he briskly entered the outer hall. His composure remained steady, but his steps seemed to gain an almost ethereal swiftness, effortlessly passing through the bows and salutes of the cultists inside the outer hall. With a commanding presence, he advanced into the middle hall and pushed open the doors of the Mirage Pavilion connected to the side of the middle hall.
A mixture of a pungent and sweet scent, combined with an arousing fragrance, rushed towards Jia Ning, making his face appear as if it had frozen in place, locking away all his emotions.
The sounds of moans and pleasure reverberated throughout the pavilion, overwhelming and drowning out even the sound of his heavy footsteps.
With a loud pop, the fox-faced man deftly caught the teacup that was hurtling towards him, and across from him, Jia Ning maintained his cold gaze, still radiating the same serene elegance, yet clearly exuding a chilling aura.
“Goodness, as one gets older, they become less tolerant of jokes.” The man with the fox-like face grumbled audibly. He carefully placed his teacup down, then rose to his feet and called loudly as he moved toward the inner room, “Jia Ning is waiting outside. Qian, Qiu, Yong, how much longer do you three plan to stay inside?”
“Got it, Bei Hua.” A muffled male voice from the other room replied, followed by the woman’s moans growing increasingly intense. In less than half the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, her moans gradually subsided, replaced by the sound of fabric rustling.
Returning to the room, dressed and proper, Bei Hua, with his fox-like smiling face, seemed even more captivating. He sat back in the chair opposite Jia Ning, waiting for the three people inside to come out.
The hierarchy within the Shindai Sect starts with the Sect Master, followed by the Left and Right Guardians. Below them, there were four Hall Masters, namely North, South, East, and West that oversee matters within their respective hall territories. TaiSu Island was vast, and each Hall Master supposedly guarded different parts of it, keeping outsiders at bay. However, in recent years, they have been frequently dispatched from the island to carry out orders, hence rarely appearing within the valley.
To have the four hall masters gathered at the island at the same time, was a really rare occurrence.
