The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 238 Conflict
The witch had bright eyes and white teeth, a tall figure, and snow-white skin like fine jade. Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist.

Such a stunning beauty, with every smile and frown, is captivating and charming. Wherever she goes, she becomes the center of attention, making the world shine brightly.

Those people, naturally, couldn't resist the temptation and were immediately drawn in.

"I am a disciple of the Jietian Sect from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. I greet you all, fellow Daoists." The witch greeted them with a smile.

"This way, fairy. As the first cultivator from the ten regions to arrive around the Borderland Imperial City, you are truly amazing, with extraordinary talent." One of the blond men nodded in greeting, his tone gentle.

“Wuliangtian is very suitable for enlightenment. It can be considered a sacred land for cultivation in the Nine Heavens. The Heavenly God Academy is very likely to be located there. Fairy, you are welcome to visit at any time,” another person said with a smile.

For some reason, these young cultivators did not enter the city, but instead sat cross-legged on the bluestone, each occupying a corner, seemingly waiting for the others from Jiutian.

They made no attempt to hide their admiration for the witch's stunning beauty. Even though she came from the Ten Lands, they acknowledged her talent and thus extended a sincere invitation.

The blond man, in particular, revealed a deep admiration in his words and eyes.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I have always longed to visit the supreme Daoist masters in all the Nine Heavens. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go and pay them a visit."

As she spoke, the witch's large, black, gem-like eyes darted around, revealing a cunning glint.

"Inadvertently," she glanced at Chen Wu behind her. She had been turned away by him countless times before, which made her so angry that she almost forgot that communicating with people was her forte.

"Hmph, some people still don't realize what they've missed!" The witch puffed out her cheeks, huffing and puffing.

"..." Chen Wu was speechless for a moment.

"This fairy may not know that a long time ago, your sect, the Jietian Sect, had a great connection with the Boundless Heaven. If you can come here, you will gain a lot."

Seeing that the witch had rejected his offer, and instead turned her attention to the strange man behind her, the blond man's gaze instantly became somewhat subtle.

"This attendant of the fairy seems quite good. I can bring him to my Boundless Heaven. If he can obtain the fortune within, it will be a great opportunity for him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blond man began to look Chen Wu up and down, but unfortunately, even with all his efforts, he couldn't find anything out.

Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Chen Wu as an ordinary servant and then put him out of his mind, not taking him seriously.

Upon hearing this, the witch's lips curled into a beautiful smile.

"Did you hear that, my servant? It is your destiny to follow me to the Boundless Heaven."

After saying that, she glanced at Chen Wu again, her eyes sparkling with mockery, yet also tinged with pride, like a little girl who had just received praise from a stranger and couldn't wait to see her parents' reaction.

“Boring!” Chen Wu said coldly.

Before the witch could respond, the blond man's expression immediately darkened.

"How dare you, a mere servant, treat your master like this? You are truly going against the natural order! Do the three thousand provinces have no sense of etiquette or hierarchy?"

Before he finished speaking, he rose into the air from the bluestone, looking down at Chen Wu from high above, his aura powerful and his divine power overwhelming.

"Fellow Daoist!"

The witch stepped forward, shielding Chen Wu behind her, and said coldly, "He is my man, and it is not your place to overstep your bounds."

"Ok?"

The blond man was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the fairy, who had been all smiles just moments before, would suddenly turn on him, and for the sake of an ordinary servant no less.

“Fairy, it’s just a servant. You can’t just find as many of these people as you want. Why are you so agitated?” the blond man said in a deep voice, his eyes gleaming, still fixed on Chen Wu behind him.

"You'd better watch your mouth. You have no right to point fingers at Him. Get the hell out of here, as far away as you can." The witch's expression changed completely, and she showed no mercy in her words.

"You..." the blond man said in surprise.

The others were even more astonished, never expecting the witch to turn on them so easily over a mere servant. "I valued you as a peerless beauty of extraordinary talent, which is why I granted you this opportunity. And yet you dare speak to me like this, ignoring the many heroes of my Boundless Heaven?"

Even though he secretly admired the witch, the blond man couldn't save face, especially with a large crowd watching.

"Who do you think you are, to represent the entire Boundless Heaven?" the witch mocked mercilessly.

boom!
The blond man radiated golden light, and a terrifying aura of blood permeated the air, intimidating many people present.

At this moment, the once bustling market suddenly fell silent, and many cultivators turned their heads to look over with curiosity.

"Hey you, if you're a man, step forward. What kind of man hides behind women his whole life?"

The blond man's expression was cold, but he still focused his firepower on Chen Wu. Even though the witch had turned against him, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Given that you are merely a servant and your strength is not outstanding, you only need to withstand one of my finger strikes. If you can withstand it, I will apologize to this fairy in public; if you cannot, you may commit suicide, and I will compensate the fairy with a maidservant."

"You should know that the cultivation conditions in the Nine Heavens are much better than those in the Ten Earths. Isn't the reason this fairy came to the Heavenly God Academy for a better cultivation environment?" the blond man said proudly.

At this point, he was completely frank and had nothing to hide.

Others gradually realized the meaning: it was clear that she had feelings for the witch, so Chen Wu, who was close to her, was naturally blacklisted.

"You dare to lay a finger on me? You think you're worthy?"

The witch, unusually, disregarded her image and swore.

"I have only one goal: to enter the Heavenly God Academy, not the Boundless Heaven. There's no point in wasting words with a fool like you who's so delusional. If I don't suppress one or two of you today, others will think I'm easy to bully."

As she spoke, the witch stepped forward, attempting to make a move.

Just then, Chen Wu suddenly stopped her and waved his hand slightly under her puzzled gaze.

"Have you thought it through? Now you finally have a bit of a man's spirit," the blond man said arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu remained silent, but a strange sense of emotion welled up within him.

Those who mindlessly target strangers or villains are as if they have been given a brain-degrading aura, even worse than ordinary people—this is the treatment given to a very few people like the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Ye Heavenly Emperor.

Looking at the original historical trajectory, only a few main characters would encounter so many brainless characters during their growth process, serving as a backdrop to their invincible path.

Chen Wu had initially scoffed at this, thinking that cultivators who had reached a certain level of cultivation wouldn't be so foolish, but unexpectedly, he had actually encountered it now.

"So it really exists!" he murmured to himself.

……

"Take this!" The blond man was about to strike.

In an instant, an aged voice came from within the city, “How dare you! How can you fight like this before the ancient city?”

Although the source of the sound was not the actual borderland imperial city, but rather those small towns that had developed from markets, it was still enough to awe people and definitely belonged to a powerful figure.

It was obvious that they were from the Heavenly God Academy. They had been observing from the shadows, but now they had no choice but to reveal themselves.

The blond man had already formed a hand seal, but upon hearing these words, his expression involuntarily changed, and he could only change the direction of his palm strike, aiming it at Gao Tian.

However, the next moment, something strange happened. Golden light surged, and the terrifying palm print suddenly exploded.

boom!
Caught completely off guard, the blond man was submerged, his fate unknown.

This scene startled everyone, and many people gasped in shock.
