Chapter 213 213: Unnecessary

"W-who are you?" the old man asked, still not daring to turn around. The fear on his face was evident, even to the young girl on the bed.

She had been forcefully brought to this Clan, where she was forced to cultivate everyday. The clan poured so many resources to get her to become a Heavenly Celestial in such a short time, even using treasures that harmed her life essence. n/.o/)V/-e-(l(-B-.I.(n

Despite becoming a Heavenly Celestial, her life span was even lower than an ordinary mortal. She understood that these people weren't doing this for her. She expected her to be sacrificed, but she didn't expect it to be this way.

She was helpless, and realised that she was going to lose even the last precious thing to her. However, just as she had lost all hope, resisting fiercely, she saw the old man stop. The fear on his face was something she could never have expected.

After living here for so long, she understood just what kind of position this old man held in this place. He was the revered Ancestor, respected and feared by everyone who knew about him. In the entire clan, he was the strongest person and the supreme authority.

She didn't know who it was that could make even this man scared. Initially, she thought that it was the Queen of this world that she heard so much about, but as he glanced behind the old man, what she saw didn't make sense.

It wasn't the Divine Queen. It wasn't a woman at all. Instead, it was a man who looked even younger than her.

She wondered if the old man mistook the person behind him to be someone else, because she couldn't feel anything special from him.

Unlike her, the old man was more experienced. Even with the slightest ripple in Xu Shan's aura, he could feel the kind of person who stood behind him.

He felt as if a sea of blood was behind him. He wasn't even sure just how many lives one had to take to have this kind of aura.

"Just an ordinary person, out on a short walk," Xu Shan answered lazily. His eyes roamed over to the girl under the old man, who was looking at her with strange eyes, as if asking him to help her.

"It would be my honour to show Senior around. But before that, won't the Senior want to have some fun?" The old man moved aside, freeing the girl, as if giving this opportunity to Xu Shan.

"I didn't know Senior was coming, or I would've welcomed you myself. Since it's Senior's first visit, I would like to give this woman to Senior." The old man stated, his expressions solemn. He still didn't see Xu Shan's face, but he already guessed who the person behind him was.

There was only one person in the Celestial Realm who could give him a feeling like this. It was the person that even the Divine Queen had to bow to before.

lightsnοvεl The woman on the bed was horrified even more. She had thought that Xu Shan could help her, but she was being handed over like a mere toy?

"What's so special about this girl?" Xu Shan asked the old man, although he already knew the answer.

"Senior might be unaware, but this girl is very special. She has a Divine Physique. The person who sleeps with her can improve his talents but also get stronger,"

"Interesting indeed. Not a bad gift. In that case, I shall be taking her with me." Xu Shan raised his finger, letting the girl rise in the air.

He didn't kill the Ancestor. He had already made a loss by killing the Clan Head. It was too soon for the Ancestor to die, as he could be a good fuel for the formation. If he killed all stronger beings, the Divine Empress might fail to break through.

As for the boost he could get from the girl, it was insignificant for him. With his Devouring, his talent had already surpassed the limits. As for his strength, it couldn't gain much through her.

The old man finally turned around, revealing a look of happiness in his eyes. With Xu Shan's confirmation, he was certain that he was going to survive. The man behind him wasn't going to kill him.

"Thank you Senior!" The old man bowed before Xu Shan, trying his best to hide his displeasure and anger.

Although Xu Shan could see that the old man was acting, it didn't matter much. It was only a matter of time before the old man was going to be devoured thoroughly.

Xu Shan left the hall after sending the girl to his personal Spatial Realm where he was already keeping the mother of a Heaven's Chosen.

The old man sighed in relief as he walked out with Xu Shan to escort him. On the way out, he saw the lifeless body of his Grandson who was the Clan Patriarch. His pupils twitched, but he didn't complain. His heart was filled with anger, but he kept that to himself.

The woman was his last chance to break through. With her gone, everything had gone to waste. In an instant, everything he worked so hard for was destroyed.

Xu Shan left the Luo Clan. For the first time, many people in the Luo Clan saw their ancestor who was supposed to be dead. What was even more shocking was that their invincible ancestor was following Xu Shan like a servant.

It was only after Xu Shan disappeared from his view that the Old Ancestor sighed in relief. It was only now that he roared at the top of his lungs, letting out all his indignation.

Leaving the Clan, Xu Shan cut his trip short. For the time being, he left the Divine Realm and returned to the world of Alchemy.

He found himself questioning his motives for saving the girl, especially since it wasn't necessary. However, he couldn't bear the thought of leaving a task unfinished. Despite not needing to, he ultimately chose to save her.
