âThe experts are here!â the empress said to Edgar as she looked up.
Edgar
Alex
Right after her voice fell, they saw a dense crowd. It was not people, but a group of⦠Demons!
They were led by a huge crow. Having a human face, a crowâs nostrils and a birdâs body, it looked
sleepy with its squinty eyes.
âHmph! I was wondering who it was. So, itâs Empress Ghast!â The crow recognized Empress Ghast. âIf
you were in the nether realm, I really couldnât do anything about you. However, this is Dairaionji
Temple. Youâve come to the wrong place! Once youâre here, you can only yield! Empress Ghast, your
cultivation is hard to come by and you have the body of a female. I ask of you⦠Are you willing to
become my cultivation partner?â
Empress Ghast burst into a peal of laughter. âHahaha! What a joke! A pitch-black birdman like you
wishes to many me? Even Africans look ten thousand times better than you.â
Edgar was surprised. âEmpress, you actually know Africa?â
Edgar
Alex
Empress Ghast said, âBefore I became Empress Ghast, I lived in Africa for a while and did business
there.â
âYou actually did international trade over there?â
âYouâre overthinking. I was just searching for treasures and digging for gold there. I have a knack for
treasure digging.â
âEmpress, letâs partner up next time.â
âNo need. Iâm not short of gold right now.â
âWe can go to the Ancient Path to dig the Witch Mine.â
Empress Ghastâs eager eyes immediately widened. âItâs settled then!â
The Crow Cultivator was imp atient. âPerhaps you think Iâm non-existent, while youâre lovey-dovey in
front of me. Empress Ghast, do you agree or not? Otherwise, you will pay for this!â
âTo hell with it! Iâll sever your crow head!â
Indeed a strong woman and a deft swordswoman, Empress Ghast unsheathed her sword, meaning
every word. When the sword struck, the environment changed and the world was devoid of light.
Howeverâ¦
Clank!
A clear sound rang out. The Crow Cultivator had intercepted the empressâs sword with its claws.
Its claws were sheared with covers that were full of brilliance. It did not seem to be an ordinary item at
a glance.
âCaw! Caw!â The Crow Cultivator let out a strange laugh and said to Empress Ghast. âHowâs that? Now
you know how powerful I am, right? I can acquire the blessing of laws and energy at Dairaionji Temple,
but you, a woman from the nether realm, happens to be the target. You wonât even be able to take a
blow from me in this place. Do you believe me?â
After saying that, the Crow Cultivator stirred up a gust, sending Empress Ghast flying at once.
The empress did not believe in that nonsense. She made her move. However, she was dismayed at
the result. She had been restrained after coming to this place. Thus, as she unleashed the last blow,
Edgar held her with one hand and dispelled the energy from her body. He then said, âTake a break! Let
me do it!â
Edgar
Alex
âCan you do it?â the empress asked.
âHow can you ask a man this question?â Edgar replied.
Edgar
Alex
The empress spat disdainfully.
Meanwhile, Edgar directly lunged toward the Crow Cultivator.
Edgar
Alex
âHaha! You have a death wish! I can show mercy to Empress Ghast, but I will kill a nasty man like you
with one blow!â
It waved its hand and drew a burst of energy that rolled toward Barne.
Barne.
Alex.
Edgar could instantly feel that it was a law or an order belonging to Dairaionji Temple. However, the
Crow Cultivator had clearly misjudged when he tried to bind him with the law of Dairaionji Temple.
Edgar
Alex
He was the master of Dairaionji Temple!
Whoosh!
The law changed, backfiring at the Crow Cultivator. When the Crow Cultivator felt something was
wrong, Edgar quickly beheaded the creature.
Edgar
Alex
Caw!
âIâm dead? Why is this happening?â
The Crow Cultivator was dead, with a grievance, no doubt
