Chapter 32 Lan Mi's Grievance and Anger

Xiaobai, Maoli, Panda, and Xiaobao, who had always been by Yushan's side, were seeing her ruthless side for the first time, and even more so, they were witnessing such a killing technique for the first time.

They were all stunned for a moment, and even the golden cauldron that was trailing far behind them was equally stunned by what they saw.

He felt that the target of this mission didn't seem to need any protection at all, but the next second, he saw Yu Shan's body go limp and fall directly into Xiao Bai's arms.

Everyone was terrified, after all, she had a history of using power that didn't belong to her, and she was bound to suffer a terrible backlash.

Xiao Bai hugged her tightly, complaining nervously, "Next time something like this happens, I'll take your place. How can I, a man, bear to see you so careless with your body?"

"Fanzi, have you forgotten that you're carrying Xi'er in your belly?" Panda chimed in with her complaint.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'll be fine in a little while."

"This is now the ancestral land of our Holy Witch Clan. I can use the witch spirit power of my clansmen to punish our Holy Witch Clan's enemies, and the backlash will be shared by the clansmen." Feather Fan hurriedly explained.

It was only at this moment that Jin Ding realized that the person he was ordered to protect was actually a member of the Holy Witch Clan.

As far as he knew, only the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan could use the power of the entire clan to cast spells.

He had the honor of meeting the current Holy Maiden Lan Mi once, from which it can be inferred that this Lady Zuo is very likely the former Holy Maiden Yu Shan who suddenly disappeared five hundred years ago.

But Lady Zuo's bone age is clearly only in her thirties, so how could she possibly be the former saintess Yu Shan who has been missing for more than five hundred years?

Jin Ding felt as if he had discovered a tremendous secret, and he wanted to send a remote communication talisman to Steward Feng to report this discovery to him.

But then I thought, what if Steward Feng already knew about this?

No wonder the Palace Master ordered him to send Golden Armor Guards to secretly protect Madam Zuo's safety. If she is the former Holy Maiden, then all of this makes sense.

Jin Ding felt that he had a long way to go on this journey. He originally thought that he was only going to protect an ordinary woman with low cultivation, but he did not expect that she was Yu Shan, the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan.

Thinking of the current Holy Maiden, Jin Ding couldn't help but worry for her again.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and naturally, two holy maidens cannot be accommodated in one clan, right?

However, it seems that Yu Shan did not come to reclaim the position of Saintess; perhaps she just wanted to see her people.

Before the boundary stone of Baiyang Town, Wu Xiaoyu was still kneeling on the ground. She reached out to touch the mummified corpse of the deputy envoy, but as soon as she touched it, the corpse turned into dust and mixed into the soil, and could not be found again.

Wu Xiaoyu became even more excited. She prostrated herself and kept kowtowing, chanting, "Holy Maiden of the Feather Fan, thank you for punishing the villain. You are the greatest holy maiden of our Holy Witch Clan. I, Wu Xiaoyu, will worship you forever!"

As she devoutly prostrated herself, a wisp of silvery-white magical energy overflowed from her body, silently drifting towards the direction of the feather fan before disappearing into her body.

Feather Fan sensed the flow of this wisp of witch spirit power into her body, and her body, which had been limp and without any strength, suddenly gained a little power.

The long-lost sense of familiarity returned; it was the power of her people's devout faith. Only new trust could generate the power of faith.

Even if only one member of her clan provides her with the power of faith, the magical power within her will not be depleted.

The lineage of past saintesses records that the most powerful saintess in the history of the Holy Witch Clan once fought two ancient ferocious beasts and remained undefeated.

What she relied on was the power of her roommate's faith.

She was able to preserve her soul from the backlash of Heaven's will precisely because of the devout faith of her people.

They trusted her, and as a saint who had benefited from their faith, how could she betray their trust?

Wu Xiaoyu, who had been kneeling and kowtowing, finally got up from the ground. Excitedly, she ran all the way to a wide fence, pushed open the gate, and rushed inside.

As she ran, she shouted, "The Holy Maiden of the Feather Fan has appeared! Our Holy Witch Clan is saved!"

Feather Fan, who was following far behind her, frowned. How could the current Holy Maiden Lan Miqing bear such a shout?

Sure enough, a majestic yet cold female voice soon rang out: "Wu Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? The Feather Fan Saintess vanished into thin air five hundred years ago, how could she suddenly reappear?"

Wu Xiaoyu hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects, but then stubbornly said, "Saintess Lanmi, I am not crazy."

Just now, in front of the boundary marker in Baiyang Town, that disgusting deputy envoy from the Nameless Sect tried to do something to me, and then shot a jet-black arrow at me.

The deputy envoy dragged me over, trying to shield him from the arrow with my body, but the arrow pierced through my body and then into his heart.

He turned into a dried-up corpse, which then turned into powder and disappeared.

I swear in the name of the sacred shaman that every word I have spoken is true and without falsehood!

As soon as Wu Xiaoyu said this, the Holy Witch Clan members who were watching nearby began to whisper among themselves, especially some of the elderly, who were so moved that they had tears in their eyes.

“Xiaoyu didn’t lie; she must have witnessed the Holy Maiden of the Feather Fan appearing with her own eyes!”

"The Feather Fan Saintess did not abandon us! Back then, she used Time Reversal to save the lives of our entire clan, but suffered a backlash from Heaven and her soul was scattered."

"Thank God, she still retains some of her divine consciousness in this world. She must have been unable to bear seeing her people being bullied, which is why she manifested herself!"

...

Dozens of elderly people knelt down and kowtowed in prayer, and strands of faith flowed from their bodies, silently converging on the body of Yu Shan not far away.

The power of faith was originally as thin as a spider's thread, and ordinary people could not see it at all. But at this moment, dozens of strands of faith gathered together, and they were the most devout kind. The feather fan was surrounded by a great spiritual light.

The devout tribespeople did not notice what was happening outside the fence, but the Holy Maiden Lan Mi did.

She was both shocked and furious!

She had never received even a wisp of such devout faith power; the faith power she received was intermittent and as insignificant as a sesame seed.

Although it did help her cultivation, it didn't have a significant effect. As a result, even after being a saintess for 150 years, her cultivation level remained at the second level of the Heavenly Inquiry Realm.

In addition, she had difficulty comprehending the magic seals left by her ancestors in the Temple of the Witch God, and her combat strength was only equivalent to that of an ordinary eighth-level Spirit Realm cultivator, making her unable to contend with powerful enemies.

That's why the leader of the nameless sect kept pressing her, first forcing her clansmen to pay protection money.

Recently, he has gone even further, openly harassing young women in his community on the street.

She knew all of this, but she could only pretend not to see it because she was powerless to do anything about it. She couldn't beat them in a fight, and they wouldn't listen to her reasoning. What could she do?

But what did she see at that moment?

Whenever that little bitch Wu Xiaoyu mentioned the feather fan, these old fogies in the clan would start to kneel down in devout worship, their faith overflowing as if it were free.

If they were willing to trust her so much and provide her with such abundant faith power, she would have already broken through to the Tongtian Realm. Why would she allow her people to be oppressed?

Even if Lan Mi was unwilling to believe that Yu Shan was still alive, the sight of the power of faith rushing into her body was enough to prove that the woman standing outside the fence was Yu Shan, or her reincarnation.

As the current Holy Maiden, she naturally knew the inside story of what happened back then. The four elders, with the combined strength of the entire clan, preserved Yu Shan's soul and sent it to another universe.

For more than three hundred years after her disappearance, the position of Holy Maiden remained vacant in the clan, in preparation for the return of her reincarnation.

Unfortunately, those old folks were destined to be disappointed; she never came back.

Helpless, they finally had to compromise and, 150 years ago, chose her, Lan Mi, as the Holy Maiden.

She believed she had worked hard and diligently enough, but her tribespeople never respected her enough or trusted her enough.

Lan Mi felt wronged. She had clearly done nothing wrong, so why did her people not revere her as much as they revere the former Holy Maiden Feather Fan?

She felt that it was all the feather fan's fault, that she had sought fame and fortune, which made her clansmen never forget her.

Her lingering spirit continues to influence her ability to gain the faith of her people.

Thinking of this, she quickly walked out of the fence gate, waved her hand to create a barrier, and then spoke coldly to the feather fan.
