Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 106

“Wait a minute— what did she just say?”

“A princess of Fey?”

“Is this a joke? What’s a Fey doing down here?”

“That fire... that’s no ordinary flame. It’s infused with the Binate Genesis of the Duality Hound tribe.”

“She’s not just any Fey— she’s from the Noble Beast Lineage!”

The Grahas and Nethers drew in a sharp, cold breath, staring at Hong Tian in utter disbelief. Despite being from the Upper World and having expanded their world views, their eyes still widened as they gaped at her— as though having seen the rarest thing imaginable.

And she may as well have been.

Noble Beasts— their mythical existence, ancient and unique. Much like the calamitous dragons and phoenixes, they belonged to a class of their own. While their blood may not be as pure, their bodies held untold potential, containing nomological principles of the cosmos.

“The Duality Hound tribe... princess...” Fuhai murmured, his gaze darkening as a certain figure came to mind.

“You don’t think she’s that person, do you? Di Han inquired.

Fuhai didn’t reply as he was still uncertain. He could figure out the origin of the young woman before him but not her identity. Finally, he asked, his tone heavy, “Might your esteemed self be the exalted Dualic Fiend of Fey, Hong Jing?”

His question prompted his men to turn their heads in unison, each wearing a serious expression.

It was only after hearing Hong Tian’s answer that they were able to slightly loosen their guard.

“I am not,” she said calmly.

“I see...” A sense of relief flickered across Fuhai’s eyes, and unnoticed by anyone, his clenched fists slowly began to relax. However, upon hearing what she said next, his vein twitched.

Hong Tian fearlessly stood before General Fuhai and his men, the thick tension between them was suffocating. Their combined cultivation sparked and sent the weather into a spiral.

As expected of a Fey.

Fuhai crossed his arms, feeling slightly irritated.

Overbearing as always. Not to mention, this one is just like her sister. This is clearly not her true appearance but I can see from her soul, just how similar they are in character.

“Are you sure you want to pick a fight with us, princess?” Fuhai asked, looking left and right before directing his gaze at Hong Tian. “It looks to me like you are alone. While the Duality Hounds have a much stronger resistance toward soul attacks than other Feys, they’re still susceptible to it. This isn’t a fight you can win. I will not ask why a Fey of the Noble Beasts Lineage is here, in turn, you shouldn’t interfere with our business any longer.”

“...”

Hong Tian didn’t respond. What Fuhai said was true, after all. She had arrived in the Mortal Desolate World alone, without the aid of her tribesman. She had no one to rely on but herself. Yet, while she could do nothing, the same could be said for Fuhai and his men. If anything happened to her, the Fey wouldn’t just leave the matter be. Devoted they may be to their duties, but as they had already sacrificed so much in the Paralix, should any of their members be targeted, they would not hesitate to slaughter anyone who dared oppose them.

Such a thing had happened once before, and it was precisely why the factions of the Upper World dared not interfere with any Fey that appeared outside of the Paralix— rare as they may be.

Both sides remained at a stalemate, unable to act against one another. As for the Graha who had burned to nothingness at the hands of Hong Tian earlier, he was quickly forgotten. Fuhai could say nothing, for it was his man who struck first; her actions were considered only self-defense.

Hong Tian was unhappy, it had been a long time since she had seen one of the three traitors. Her blood boiled with hatred as she wanted nothing more than to devour each and every one of them.

Alas, there was nothing more she could do. Just when she was about to leave, a powerful beam of fog, mixed with the strange colors of black and red, pierced through the space from afar— catching everyone’s attention. Before anyone could grasp what was happening, it shot directly toward Hong Tian.

“Who?!” Fuhai exclaimed, confused as to which of his men was so stupid.

“You dare, Graha?!”

Hong Tian was furious!
