Chapter 617: Chapter 359: The Seal Opens, the Benevolent God Appears!
Ninety-Nine Layered Universe.
Immortal Dynasty Taoist Palace.
The mont Cloud Rainbow Celestial Honor landed, she imdiately produced a talisman.
Aurora flashed on the talisman, followed by a commanding voice,
“Cloud Rainbow, co to the zenith.”
“Yes.”
...
Cloud Rainbow responded and soared again, sweeping across the stacked pavilions, through the boundless Sea of Clouds, and flew upwards.
Above the mountains was the deep azure void.
Upon this endless void stood a Divine Palace radiating with multicolored light, proudly perched at the zenith of the firmant.
Cloud Rainbow’s eyes held a hint of frost, and her lips twitched, but ultimately, she refrained from uttering “old immortal.”
She alighted gently within the Divine Palace.
There stood two rows of elders from the Eighteenth Layer of the Magical Realm.
A man with long black hair sat on an elevated platform, with eyes closed and a solemn deanor.
Another four or five formidable n and won knelt before the black-haired man, and upon seeing Cloud Rainbow arrive, they all showed expressions of resentnt.
“It’s her again!”
“It was supposed to be our mission, but she finished it and took the rewards.”
“Saintly Honor, please administer justice fairly.”
“She cannot be shielded any longer; she only acts recklessly!”
The five n and won spoke at once.
Cloud Rainbow smiled.
These worthless trash, aside from complaining to Saintly Honor, what else could they do?
Saintly Honor has aged.
That position will sooner or later be mine!
Atop the elevated throne, the man in the black robe still had his eyes shut when he asked,
“Cloud Rainbow, do you have anything to say?”
Cloud Rainbow let out a cold laugh, about to speak when a scene suddenly flickered through her mind,
“People indeed dislike those who are too lofty, too flawlessly perfect…”
Indeed.
The rigid cannot endure.
Besides, why should I co forward and waste words on this garbage?
After all, they dare not fight .
With a shift in thoughts, Cloud Rainbow settled her gaze and made a formal bow towards the high platform,
“Humbly reporting to Saintly Honor, I’m actually quite tired and have no interest in fighting over these matters with them.”
“Oh?”
The black-haired man opened his eyes in surprise and scanned Cloud Rainbow.
Not just him, even the five formidable n and won, as well as the solemn elders standing on both sides, all turned their gaze towards Cloud Rainbow.
— What’s with her today?
This reaction isn’t like her usual self!
“Cloud Rainbow, are you under so curse? Or has soone plotted against you in secret?”
Soone blurted out.
The black-haired man on the platform had already ford a Hand Gesture and released a Dao Technique towards Cloud Rainbow.
This was a highly advanced exploration technique, capable of sensing any change within a soul.
Cloud Rainbow allowed the technique to envelop her, feeling a mix of amusent and despair.
But soon, she was a bit dazed.
Who would have thought…
Everyone reacted this way.
Had she truly been too forceful before, driving everyone to stand against her?
Though it mattered little, it was unnecessary.
Simply… unnecessary.
The light from the technique gradually faded.
Atop the high platform.
The black-haired man spoke again,
“Cloud Rainbow, your soul appears even healthier than before, but what was the aning of your words just now?”
Cloud Rainbow slightly bowed her head and said respectifully, “Humbly reporting to Saintly Honor, they see snatching away many richly rewarding missions, but fail to recognize the dangers within those missions.”
“I simply cared for the fellowship among our sect mates, not wishing them to face death, hence I undertook those tasks.”
“If they harbor resentnt over this, it was not my intention.”
Once she finished, silence descended over the entire Divine Palace.
A middle-aged Taoist shouted angrily,
“That’s absurd!”
“How exactly is it absurd?” Cloud Rainbow asked leisurely.
The middle-aged Taoist stepped forward and pointed at her,
“It was clear that we found a Causality Talisman that could have transported us imdiately to Charlotte’s side to strike her down, but you injured us and threatened us not to go!”
“Such overbearance is glossed over by your lofty talk.”
“You do not deserve to be the Taoist Palace’s senior sister!”
Everyone tensed up, their gazes unanimously shifting to Cloud Rainbow.
In normal circumstances,
Cloud Rainbow would have already started sneering, ready to assert her authority with a duel of the Taoist Palace.
But today was different.
She appeared sowhat perplexed, as if recalling sothing, devoid of any intention to fight.
“Cloud Rainbow, what do you say?”
Saintly Honor from the high platform asked.
Cloud Rainbow sighed, stepped back, and said with her head bowed,
“I’ve protected them wholeheartedly, only to be treated thus; I will no longer concern myself with them.”
“And the mission?” Saintly Honor asked.
Cloud Rainbow closed her eyes, showing a trace of pain.
Interests.
How could she bear to lose them?
But “the rigid cannot endure,” and if following that boy’s theory, to establish a perfect image, she must—
Lose.
After losing, then she could gain.
She must lose first!
“The task of pursuing Charlotte, I relinquish it, and henceforth, I will no longer interfere.”
Her expression remained indifferent, but under her sleeves, her fingernails had dug into her flesh, nearly drawing blood.
“Really?” Saintly Honor’s tone carried a hint of disbelief.
Cloud Rainbow suddenly smirked and eased her grip, saying,
“Absolutely sincere!”
“But I must clarify, Charlotte’s success in stealing nurous treasures from the Immortal Palace is not as easy as it seems; do not mistake her for a re thief!”
Her words were calm, tinged with a semblance of concern.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s thoughts diverged once again.
In brief silence,
Cloud Rainbow’s eyes widened in surprise.
Reputation—
Was her reputation on the rise?
Why!
She lowered her gaze, her eyes subtly shifting as she surreptitiously observed everyone.
The elders standing rigid on both sides remained silent.
