The Romantic Cultivator - Chapter 1263: Ji Yuan is ’Discovered’

?The masked Divine Messenger had sent a flicker of powerful bolt of profound force into Ji Yuan’s direction.

It was almost instantaneous and extremely fast.

But Ji Yuan was even faster as he displayed his half-step emperor divine sword from the scabbard behind his back to block off the profound attack, deflecting it to the side of the cave which caused it to explode a big hole at the side of the cave that shook the entire cave for quite some time!

At the same time, Ji Yuan’s divine sword was shaking nonstop even though he had stabbed it onto the ground when he had deflected it.

This half-step emperor divine sword was actually the most powerful divine sword from his nine flying divine swords.

Ji Yuan was astonished at how powerful the profound attack was and he was gulping at the thought that his neck may be snapped by it or even his head would be blown up by it.

The powerful profound attack had also shattered the illusion that the Goddess Destiny had placed around them, causing Ji Yuan and his group to appear immediately.

The Demoness Empress An Xuanji and her Desolate Underworld Alliance were all astonished to see there were 7 others that were in the same cave as them and they had not noticed them!

These 7 others naturally referred to Ji Yuan, the Holy Maiden Ling Ya, the Goddess Destiny, Shui Xisi, Xue Qianxue, Ling Feiyue and the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei.

The Demoness Empress An Xuanji gasped when she saw Ji Yuan, “You! You are the Nameless Cultivator Ji Yuan!”

All of a sudden, there was a flustered look on her countenance as she had remembered standing in front of them earlier and she had betrayed her emotions in front of them…

Elder Ma Qianhuo had also recognized the Holy Maiden Ling Ya, “Look! Isn’t this the Left Holy Maiden Ling Ya of the Ivy League Sect?”

Many of the desolate cultivators were also astonished!

The Goddess Destiny muttered weakly from behind Ji Yuan, “Even though my illusions may be formidable but do you have to talk so loudly? Even though he may not hear you but any tiny disturbances in the presence of a powerful cultivator is enough to garner notice…”

Xue Qianxue giggled softly, “You may not know about this. But he had purposely talk to save this Demoness Empress An Xuanji. But he tries not to make it too obvious.”

Ji Yuan: …

How the heck does she knows about this?

He muttered, “I was just being careless, that’s all.”

Xue Qianxue simply smiled.

Actually, Xue Qianxue is a really smart maiden and smarter than Ji Yuan had thought but she had carefully concealed it.

She had never told Ji Yuan that she was aware that he had been peeping at her while she was bathing in the bath tub 100 years ago and that she had purposely delayed coming out of her bath tub to see what he had wanted.

If it was any other man, they would be dead already if they tried to peep at her.

Also, when Ji Yuan had visited her Celestial Orthodox Sect 100 years ago, she had already recognized him while he was thinking how he could fool her.

Xue Qianxue could tell that Ji Yuan was purposely alerting the masked Divine Messenger to himself rather than endangering the Demoness Empress An Xuanji.

This was indeed true.

Ji Yuan had purposely diverted the attention to himself but he had not thought that Xue Qianxue would make such a lucky guess so he had quickly denied it as his carelessness.

He did not want his maidens to know him too well as he was fond of keeping a few of his trump cards against them.

The masked Divine Messenger was astonished that there were a group of 7 that were hiding at the corner of the cave.

Moreover, the only man in the group was able to deflect his profound attack so easily!

And he was infuriated as he displayed his peaked 9th realm immortal profound aura, “Kneel in front of me now!”

An oppressing and powerful pressure immediately descended upon everyone in the cave, forcing everyone to kneel with cold sweat except for Ji Yuan and his group.

The reason why this oppressing pressure did not affect Ji Yuan and his group was because the Goddess Destiny had dissipated the oppressive pressure in front around her; to do so, she did not even have to display her full profound might and she was merely using the 7th cultivation realm’s profound strength.

In any case, even if she did not use her profound strength, the oppressing aura of this masked Divine Messenger won’t be able to affect her or Ji Yuan as they were high level cultivators.

She had only released some of her profound strength to neutralize the oppressing pressure from Shui Xisi, the Left Holy Maiden Ling Ya, Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue and the Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei.

The masked Divine Messenger appeared to be startled as he said coldly, “Who are you?!”

He had thought that it was Ji Yuan that had neutralized his oppressive profound aura since he was the one that had also deflected his profound attack without any sweat.

Ji Yuan could tell from the way his half-step divine sword was still vibrating from this masked Divine Messenger’s profound attack; this showed that his profound strength was actually above him when he could not stabilize his grip on his divine sword and when he had released his profound aura, this conclusion was proved immediately.

He grinned and said, “I am the Nameless Cultivator Ji Yuan and the rest are my companions. We are taking refuge in this cave when…”

Ji Yuan startled to look at the Demoness Empress An Xuanji and her group of desolate cultivators before saying, “When they have entered the cave. As we did not want to disturb them, we had decided to hide ourselves. And then you have arrived.”

He chuckled softly, “Surely you are not thinking of accusing us of spying upon you, am I right? Especially since we are in this place first.”

The masked Divine Messenger hummed coldly, “What do you think then?”

Ji Yuan said innocently, “Therefore you will let us go and we will also pretend that we have hear nothing today.”

The masked Divine Messenger had suddenly flashed a half-step emperor divine sword all of a sudden as he said coldly, “Wrong! Why don’t you make another guess again?”

With an emperor-step divine sword in the hands of this masked Divine Messenger, the profound pressure had suddenly double in strength, causing the Demoness Empress An Xuanji and her group of desolate cultivators to bend even lower and even powerless as they broke into more cold sweat!

But yet, nothing had happened to Ji Yuan and his group who continued to look just as normal and usual in front of the masked Divine Messenger!

The masked Divine Messenger was astonished as he stared at Ji Yuan and the Goddess Destiny, “The two of you, I can’t tell your cultivation realm…”
