Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1408

lightsvel 1408 Abyss Piercer

"C-Celestial Overlord?! What's the matter?!"

"Please calm down, Celestial Overlord!"

The guards were startled and frightened by Xu Jiaqi's abrupt and overwhelming pressure, which sent shockwaves through the entire headquarters, causing it to tremble.

Moreover, several individuals in the vicinity showed up within seconds to see what the commotion was about.

"Lady Xu" Senior Bai cleared his throat and called out to her.

Xu Jiaqi withdrew her aura, yet her face retained a manifestation of anger.

"What happened, Lady Xu?"

"Who dares to anger our Goddess?!"

"Fairy Xu, that anger doesn't suit your beautiful face."

The newcomers immediately started inquiring about the situation and tried to ease Xu Jiaqi's anger at the same time.

However, Xu Jiaqi was in no mood to deal with them and shouted, "Leave!"

Her cold voice sent chills down their spine, and not wanting to anger her even further with their presence, these experts immediately disappeared into thin air like ghosts.

Once they were alone again, ignoring the guards, Xu Jiaqi muttered, "Even if he's the Celestial Emperor, I will not let him do as he pleases with my people. How dare he target a member of our faction? I will go speak with him after this!"

'The Celestial Emperor?!' The guards were bewildered after learning of the cause of Xu Jiaqi's anger. Although this wasn't the first time the Celestial Emperor had upset Xu Jiaqi, it was never to such a degree.

"Please wait a minute, Lady Xu. There's more to this." Senior Bai quickly said.

He continued, "I already told Yuan that you would do something about his curse, but he refused our help, saying that the curse doesn't affect him at this moment and that he would try to deal with it himself. If he cannot deal with it by the time it really affects him, he will seek our help."

Xu Jiaqi frowned and asked, "Is he worried about getting us involved with the Celestial Emperor? What needless worry. The Celestial Emperor may be powerful, but he's not omniscient and untouchable."

"That's just the kind of person he is" Senior Bai smiled.

Xu Jiaqi suddenly fell silent with a pondering look on her face.

After a long moment of silence, she spoke, "Very well, I won't interfere for now. However, we're going to pull the forces we sent to assist the Celestial Emperor back."

"Do you mean those who went to hunt down the escaped prisoners from the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto? If we do that, not just the Celestial Emperor, but the others will also question us."

"Let them question us. If the Celestial Emperor wants an answer, he can come find me." Xu Jiaqi said.

It was evident to Senior Bai that Xu Jiaqi harbored no genuine intention of letting the Celestial Emperor off the hook for meddling with Yuan. Even if she didn't directly confront the Celestial Emperor for answers, she would undoubtedly create complications for him.

Perhaps because Yuan was the target, it elicited such a profound reaction from Xu Jiaqi. Senior Bai was certain that she wouldn't have responded with such intensity if it had involved anyone else in the faction.

Meanwhile, inside the treasury, Yuan inspected all of the treasures one by one. There were all sorts of treasures available, from spiritual treasures to spiritual medicines. Most of the treasures were between Divine-grade and Ancient-

grade.

Once he was done, he immediately left the treasury, where Xu Jiaqi and Senior Bai were waiting outside. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
