Chapter 2140 - Guessing the Identity
Chapter 2140: Guessing the Identity
The third person wore a large cloak, completely obscuring her appearance. She gave off a sense of mysteriousness and comprehended the Laws of Illusions. She resided in the illusions, causing the illusions and reality to constantly replace each other. It was very difficult to deal with.
The person would reveal her hands from time to time as she fought Shui Yunlan, clearly revealing a pair of extremely pale, claw-like hands that were basically just skin and bones.
The three of them were extremely powerful. Every single one of them was like a Primordial realm expert, without paling in comparison to Shui Yunlan at all.
Now, as the three people worked together, their battle against Shui Yunlan was devastating. Every single move was destructive, where the ripples of energy that shot out were like tidal waves.
“I, Zhu Wen, originally thought that I had no more opponents among Godkings apart from that monstrosity called Qing Shan. But never had I thought that I’d encounter such a powerful opponent in the Neptunean Divine Palace today. I wonder if I, Zhu Wen, have the right to learn the name you go under?” The sword-wielding man with the Laws of the Sword growled among Shui Yunlan’s three opponents.
Although he was talking, his attacks did not tarry or slow down at all. Like galaxies, his sword Qi shone as a streak of light. They were extremely sharp and extraordinarily powerful.
“That person is actually Zhu Wen. No wonder he’s so powerful.”
“Zhu Wen is a figure of legends that ranks second on the Godkings’ Throne, only second to Qing Shan. However, the woman with the Laws of Ice doesn’t seem any weaker than him at all, and she’s fighting three people at the same time, against Zhu Wen and two other people who seem to rank in the top ten as well. Who is she?”
“She can’t be an Infinite Prime whose cultivation fell to Godking, right? Or maybe she’s a reincarnation of those supreme existences that stand at the apex? Otherwise, how can she be so powerful?”
Many people became curious about Shui Yunlan’s identity, and they all began to guess inside.
Shui Yunlan did not reply. Her personality was just like the laws she controlled—extremely cold, just like unmeltable ice.
At this moment, the supreme Godking in the cloak who comprehended the Laws of Illusions let out a strange peal of laughter. She said in an old and husky voice, “I am Sheng Man, ranked seventh on the Godkings’ Throne. Although I do not know who this fellow who comprehends the Laws of Death is, I’m certain you’re also someone who ranks within the top ten of the Godkings’ Throne. It’s nothing difficult for us to kill some regular Infinite Primes when we work together given our strength. Apart from that deviant Qing Shan, there’s probably no one else who can hold their ground against the three of us without suffering defeat out of all the Godkings in the world. Even the direct disciples of those sovereigns of the world can’t achieve that.”
“If there really was such a person, I think that there’s probably no one else in the Saints’ World who possesses the power to do so aside from Shui Yunlan who has remained on the Godkings’ Throne for over three million years.”
Shui Yunlan’s gaze turned cold from that. A sliver of intense killing intent flickered through her eyes. Her glare towards Sheng Man was icy-cold.
Shui Yunlan’s response immediately allowed Zhu Wen to confirm Sheng Man’s guess. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes immediately, and he called out, “Shui Yunlan, it really is you!”
The exposure of Shui Yunlan’s identity immediately caused an uproar in the surroundings.
In reality, everyone was extremely curious about her identity. Many people had tried to guess it. Now that her name was learnt by everyone, they all became extremely astounded.
They could accept it if it was an unfamiliar name, as they would just believe that she did not attempt the Godkings’ Throne. However, not only did they happen to be familiar with the name Shui Yunlan, but they were even extremely familiar with it.
It was also because they were familiar with it that they were in shock and disbelief.
This was because Shui Yunlan only ranked sixth on the Godkings’ Throne. Although it was quite a high ranking, a certain distance still existed between her position and Zhu Wen who ranked second.
However, Zhu Wen was unable to do anything to Shui Yunlan right now. In reality, even when Zhu Wen worked together with the other two people who ranked in the top ten against Shui Yunlan, they still failed to gain any advantage at all.
It was exactly because of this that many people became confused.
“Over three million years ago, Shui Yunlan ranked ninth on the Godkings’ Throne. However, the Godkings’ Throne only records experts in the current age and not people from history, which is why the rankings on there change frequently. Once a supreme Godking dies or breaks through to the Primordial realm, their name will disappear from the Godkings’ Throne,” a supreme Godking slowly explained from among the crowd at this moment. Although he was a middle-aged man, he had clearly lived for a long time as he knew quite a lot.
“According to my observations of the top ten on the Godkings’ Throne, the record of Shui Yunlan’s strength has not moved for over three million years. The reason why her ranking has moved from ninth to the sixth is not because she attempted the Godkings’ Throne again. Instead, it was because the people who ranked higher than her either broke through to the Primordial realm or died, causing their names to disappear. As a result, Shui Yunlan’s ranking moved up as time went on.”
“Although Shui Yunlan’s ranking would change frequently throughout the millions of years, rising and falling, none of it was ever caused by herself. Instead, it was because other supreme Godkings had either surpassed her and ranked higher than her, broke through, or died, making their names vanish. This caused her ranking to move. As a result, Shui Yunlan’s current ranking of sixth on the Godkings’ Throne records her strength over three million years ago.”
On the other side, Shui Yunlan’s face sunk very much. She scanned the surroundings coldly as killing intent surged within her heart. She was tempted to kill everyone present.
Now that the Ice Goddess Hall was in trouble and under the traitor Wu Han’s control, she did not want to expose herself. Even if these people only knew her name and did not know she came from the Ice Goddess Hall, she could not be certain whether the name would reach the Ice Goddess Hall or not.
Once Wu Han learnt she had returned to the Saints’ World, she would naturally guess that Shui Yunlan had found the Snow Goddess. When that happened, she would definitely try to hunt down the Snow Goddess regardless of the price and eliminate her before she had recovered.
It was exactly because of this that Shui Yunlan had never revealed her identity when she was in the Neptunean Divine Palace.
“Sigh,” Shui Yunlan exhaled gloomily. She knew that she was powerless to change anything now. It was impossible for her to slaughter so many supreme Godkings with her current strength.
At this moment, she could not help but think about the sorrow she experienced when she first came to the Neptunean Divine Palace. She did not want to be sucked into battles that were too great. She did not even want to fight and had not even been prepared to fight. She only hoped to gather some cultivation resources here so that the Snow Goddess could recover as soon as possible.
However, Jian Chen’s appearance had completely destroyed her original plans. She did not dare to return to the Ice Goddess Hall, as it was in trouble. In order to eliminate Wu Han and the other traitors as well as to protect the Snow Goddess better, she needed to find powerful help.
However, the Ice Goddess Hall was known for being proud and aloof. They did not have any connections with other organisations, let alone close ties. As a result, the current Ice Goddess Hall was basically alone.
Now, the mysterious Mo Tianyun who also happened to have grievances with Nan Potian of the Moon God Hall had become the best person for her to work with. However, to find Mo Tianyun, she required Jian Chen’s assistance, so she had to help out when Jian Chen faced danger.
And as a result, her identity was exposed, forcing the Snow Goddess into danger. Shui Yunlan’s heart became extremely heavy.
