Lu Jiu Que was sure this was a troop of flying demon beasts. She could even see the flying demon beast messengers' disgruntled expressions very clearly.
This standard of vision was simply unbelievable. It was absolutely not any vision that a mortal should have had. Her eyes… What was wrong with them?
As the troop of flying beasts approached, Lu Jiu Que didn't shun them, because she recognized the totems on the bodies of the people who were controlling the flying beasts. It was the royal totem of the Qing Yan Empire, where Lu Jiu Que had been located.
She was the last master of the Lu Family, a family of valiant martyrs that was no longer as desirable as before, but to some extent, she was also the Qing Yan Emperor's "face-saving project."
In order to appease the people and show that the emperor's love for his people was as great as that for his own children, to show his benevolence and kindness, the Qing Yan Emperor was forced to allow Lu Jiu Que to live.
Otherwise, her reputation as a "worthless jinx" would have been more than enough to sentence her to death hundreds and thousands of times over.
"Lu Jiu Que!" An angry roar suddenly rang out, shaking Lu Jiu Que to the extent that her pupils shrank in shock.
She suppressed her excited emotions and mumbled to herself, "Is this the Star Soul Power that's unique to this Heavenly Continent?"
Across such an extreme distance, she could still feel that vigorous power.
After being transformed by that silver flame, she didn't know if she was able to cultivate Star Soul Power in her current situation.
The technique that the Great Demon King had given her came to mind. She felt a jolt in her mind. After all, this was a technique given to her by someone at the level of a Boss, so it couldn't be that bad, right?
Boom, boom—
The majestic and mighty group of flying demon beasts came to a stop by Lu Jiu Que's side. The wind brought about by the beasts' flapping wings nearly flung her entire body into the air.
No one took pity on this frail and weak young lady. Instead, her plight incited bursts of laughter.
"Lu Jiu Que, are you sick in the head or what? Tomorrow's the day when the various sects are holding their entrance exams, and here you are, still playing the disappearing act. You're going to drag us all down!"
"You, Lu Jiu Que, are a piece of crap. Naturally, no sect would open its doors for you, but it's not the same for us, alright?"
"You're really trying to get all of us killed!"
…
The crowd, which was comprised of young men and women, was voicing their complaints, but all those arrogant pairs of eyes were gloating over her misfortune.
These were all the young masters and ladies of aristocratic families or families that had held high positions in the Qing Yan Empire for generations. They were privileged children that the Qing Yan Empire favored, and they were also regarded as the most promising ones in the empire to become disciples of various sects.
In the Heavenly Continent, no matter how much effort one put into cultivating, the common people would, at most, be able to reach the threshold of cultivating Star Soul Power, as they didn't have the support of techniques, elixirs, and spiritual stones.
And if they truly wanted to cross the threshold and become a Star Soul Master that everyone admired, people would have to enter a sect.
For countless people, entering a sect was the perfect opportunity for exaltation, because the moment anyone was recruited by a sect, even if they were just one of the many disciples who weren't trained personally by the master of the sect, they were still guaranteed a successful career in the future.
It had indeed been extremely inappropriate for Lu Jiu Que to leave without permission before the test, but no one knew the reason why Lu Jiu Que had come there and even carelessly "fell" into the bottomless abyss better than they did.
They were the ones who had designed the plot to lure the original host there by saying that the sixth prince was waiting.
It was just that after Lu Jiu Que had arrived, not only had she failed to meet the hero she held close to her heart, but she was also victimized by their backstabbing and thrown into an abyss.
And these perpetrators still dared to appear in such a smug way, laughing without due conscience? She really had to hand it to them…
Lu Jiu Que's line of vision swept across these young faces as she memorized them, one by one, in her mind.
Her eyes were so cold that it sent chills down the backs of a few of the young men and women right in front of her.
At this moment, the woman dressed in green who was riding on the demonic beast right up front and had remained silent all this time opened her mouth to say, "Alright. Everyone should take a moment to calm themselves down. Let me be the one to invite Miss Lu."
