Chapter 198: Right of Dominion, Zhou Tong’s “Betrothal Gift” to the Little Demoness

With a thunderous boom, a terrifying explosion shook the inheritance grounds and kicked up a huge cloud of dust.

The little demoness stepped out of the pool with an icy face as endless rays of light gathered and wove themselves around her body, forming gorgeous clothes.

She was very different from before.

As soon as she returned to the Celestial Masters Clan, she was named Saintess, and not for any other reason than her huge contribution.

After she gave the clan the first seventy numbers of the Unseen Talisman, the Celestial Masters Clan advanced by leaps and bounds and rose into a top family of the Central Continent.

Even more important, once the clan learned Talisman No. 70, their first shackle was completely removed. From then on, every talented talismanist could step smoothly into the ranks of seventh rank talismanists without fearing Heavenly Tribulation.

Still, not everyone in the Celestial Masters Clan felt grateful to the little demoness. The reason was simple: jealousy.

In their eyes, she had been a lowly piece of “material,” fated to be consumed and worse than a servant. In a blink, she became the high and mighty Saintess. In the whole clan, only the Patriarch could outrank her.

Because of that, even her parents’ status rose. Before, they had to bow to others. Now, on meeting again, it was other people who had to bow to them.

With changes this huge, of course some people grew upset.

The little demoness lowered her voice and called out: “Come out.”

As the dust thinned, three Taoist figures dropped from the sky. Two were familiar faces, You Feng and You Chong, while the one in front was a tall young man with a wicked look.

Seeing him, the little demoness frowned. His name was You Chuan, a direct descendant of a certain Supreme Elder.

You Chong, still shaken from the blast, snapped at her: “You Cang Yue, how dare you, were you trying to kill us?”

The little demoness released a chill killing intent as she answered: “You trespassed in a forbidden inheritance ground. Do you know that is a capital crime?”

The source material inside her body had long since been separated and cleansed. After this baptism, she was remade, and her strength had surged. The pressure she gave off now clearly reached the Fifth Layer of the Life and Death Realm.

Under that pressure, You Feng and You Chong changed color on the spot.

You Chuan only sneered as he lifted his hand to block her aura, and as he did, his own aura spread out: “Reincarnation Realm, first tier.”

It was impressive at first glance, but he was not young. He only looked youthful. In truth, he was already over sixty.

The little demoness showed no fear as she barked at him: “And who do you think you are? Is this a place for you to butt in? You met the Saintess and did not kneel. Do you plan to rebel?”

At those words, his expression shifted, then he smiled coldly as he pulled out a token and said: “Look at this.”

It was a Supreme Elder’s token, carrying great authority.

With a crisp snap, the token exploded into dust as the little demoness flicked her hand to crush it and said: “Aside from the Patriarch’s order, nothing lets you strut before me. You met the Saintess and did not bow, then trespassed in the inheritance grounds. You have earned death. Kneel and accept punishment.”

You Chuan finally lost his temper as he roared: “You dare treat me like this?”

He was a Supreme Elder’s own grandson. In the clan, who dared speak to him that way? What of the clan rules? Would they really be able to punish him?

A mere piece of material dared act bold to his face; truly, she did not know life from death.

His aura turned gloomy as he readied a move, but You Feng, the most steady of the trio, blanched and reached out to stop him: “Do not act rashly.”

You Chuan curled his lip and said with icy pride: “I only want to make her remember her place. Do not think a Saintess title lets you look down on everyone.”

He had backing and was unafraid. This whole push was led by those lord level big shots behind him.

…

In the Celestial Masters Clan’s council hall, a heavy thud sounded as You Jing Feng smashed the table in front of him to splinters and snarled: “Outrageous. Lawless.”

The old man was furious. The moment someone intruded into the inheritance grounds, a live image of the site had appeared in the council hall.

He rose to head there at once, but another elder barred his way.

The man who stopped him was named You Jing Lei, also a Supreme Elder and You Chuan’s grandfather, and he said with a bland face: “It is only a spar between the younger generation. Why make such a fuss?”

You Jing Feng barked back: “A spar? Nonsense. You Chuan has already broken a taboo. He cannot brush it off with the word ‘spar.’ He must be punished.”

You Jing Lei’s face darkened as he said: “Jing Feng, you go too far.”

A few elders chimed in with cold looks: “For a lowly piece of material, would you strike at the clan’s genius?”

You Jing Feng’s eyes went wide as he thundered: “She is this clan’s Saintess.”

You Jing Lei laughed and said with open mockery: “What a joke. A criminal’s daughter fit to be Saintess? That title was only a way to calm her. Who knew she would fail to see reason? She holds a supreme secret art, yet offered only a part of it. She is selfish. Her crime cannot be forgiven.”

Hearing that, quite a few elders in the council hall nodded, eyes burning with greed. After they learned what the Unseen Talisman could do, they went mad for it.

Just mastering Talisman No. 70 let one resist the first Heavenly Tribulation. If they got No. 90, could they not mass produce ninth rank talismanists?

One elder spoke with a hard tone: “There is nothing more to say. She must hand over the entire art. If she refuses, do not blame us for using force.”

You Jing Feng lashed them with his voice: “Ungrateful.”

Another elder answered smoothly: “Supreme Elder, that is not fair. The Celestial Masters Clan birthed and raised her. All she has should repay the clan. Sparing her life is already a great favor. We even named her Saintess. If she is sensible, she should cooperate.”

You Jing Feng exploded with a forceful aura. Words would not move them; he would have to speak with his fists. But just then, the little demoness in the image suddenly made a small gesture that told him to relax, and he stopped.

He squinted at the image and muttered, ready to act at a moment’s notice: “Girl, can you handle this?”

…

In the inheritance grounds, You Chuan spread his powerful spirit force through the air as he shouted the move name and attacked in a frenzy: “Talisman Sixty Eight: Thunder Roar Cannon!”

He laughed wildly as thunder light crashed down and said: “See? Only in my hands can this art shine. In your hands, it is wasted.”

The little demoness slipped past the lightning and looked down at him from above as she said: “How shameless.”

She tilted her head and added with cool contempt: “If I had not gifted you the cultivation method, you would not even have crossed the threshold to a seventh rank talismanist. Yet you dare raise your hand to me. Ungrateful.”

A flash of anger crossed his face as he snapped: “Ridiculous. I am a peerless talent. I would have broken through without you.”

She let out a playful smile and said: “Is that so? Then I will take back the Unseen Talisman you learned.”

Those words stunned not only You Chuan but also the elders in the council hall. No one could believe what they had heard. Take back a learned art? What a joke. Who did she think she was?

Almost no one noticed the strange rune flickering in the little demoness’s palm.

It was the Right of Dominion.

Zhou Tong had given it to her when they parted. With this seal, the little demoness could control the usage rights of the Unseen Talisman at will.
