Quick Transmigration: The Queen's Worlds

Chapter 20 - The Ex-Assassin Is A Cultivator! (7)

Xia Zhilan stared at the elderly man who stood imposingly in front of her.

Although the old man looked righteous and noble, he couldn't hide the covetous glint in his eyes.

"Young Lady I suggest you hand over the treasure obediently. Such an powerful item should not be in the hands of a defenseless child such as yourself." The old man said in a solemn voice. However the man's gaze was still like a wolf eyeing it's prey.

"Who do you think you are, old man?" Zhilan said in disgust.

"Young lady, I am an elder from the humble Heavenly Pavillion Sect."

With just a couple words, almost the entire crowd gasped in awe.

"The legendary Heavenly Pavillion Sect?!"

"I never thought that this old man was an elder of such a monstrously powerful sect!"

"This old man must be montrously strong!"

The elderly man couldn't hide his proud smirk whilst listening to their praises.

"Young lady, We, the Heavenly Pavillion Sect, can accept you as a loyal disciple if you hand over the treasure." He continued in a proud but righteous voice "You and your family could face some...Trouble. If you're smart then you should know what to do."

"Are you threatening me?" Xia Zhilan's normally casual voice took a sharp turn.

"If you see it that way" the man said in a mocking tone, not believing that a mere girl like herself could harm him.

"Oh, I guess not then..." After a brief moment, Zhilan turned around, got off the stage and casually sat back down on her seat.

The entire hall fell into a strange silence as everyone stared at Xia Zhilan with a dumbfounded look.

Feeling uncomfortable with everybody eyes on her, she stood up again and looked around at the other people sitting down.

"What? Why are y'all looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?"

In front of everybody, Xia Zhilan quickly took out a mirror with an embarrassed look and checked herself out which caused everybody's faces to become even stranger.

"There's nothing...." Xia Zhilan was even more confused now. Everyone was staring at like she was crazy?

Unable to tolerate this attitude from everyone combined with the strange quietness Zhilan burst out angrily "What the h*ell are you guys staring at me for? I know I'm beautiful but unfortuantely I'm not the main event today."

Of course Xia Zhilan didn't forget to brag about herself.

The elderly man from Heavenly Pavillion finally couldn't handle Xia Zhilan's abnormal behaviour and walked up to her again this time not sparing any flowery words.

"Give me the legendary treasure or I'll promise that you won't leave this hall alive."

"Dude, I told you! I don't have any treasures! Leave me alone, old man! You're disrupting the tournament!" Xia Zhilan shouted impatiently.

"How audacious!"

"To speak to the elder of Heavenly Pavillon like this!"

"I guess you're not willing then... You brought this upon yourself."

The elderly man took out a strange looking item out of his storage room and lightly blew on it. Almost immediately after, a young and extremely handsome man appeared from pratically nowhere.

The young man bowed respectfully to the elder "Master, you called for me?"

Before the elderly man could answer, the crowd of spectators gasped in shock.

"Is this who I think it is?"

"Yes, It's Liu Heng - the man who lead the attack against the Southern Kingdom!"

"He's that Liu Heng?!"

"Who knew such a outstanding man was a disciple from the Heavenly Pavillion"

"Obtain the legendary treasure from the woman's posession." the elderly man ordered with a greedy and satisfied look.

"Yes, master."

The man called Liu Heng stood up and turned to Xia Zhilan with cold eyes. The entire hall felt as though the temperature dropped my a couple degrees and some weak-minded people shivered as they gazed into his emotionless eyes.

"Old man, I told you I don't have any treasures! Well unless.... Unless you count my impeccable beauty!" Xia Zhilan yelled annoyedly.

Ignoring her shameless comments Liu Heng landed right in front of her and examined Zhilan with the same cold eyes.

'Leave now!' System 005's voice suddenly rang out in an alarmed tone 'Host 1520, the man in front of you is extremely dangerous. At the moment your cultivation level definitely cannot beat him. Leave now.'

'Of course even I can tell that this dude is way too strong but how come you never said anything about that old man?'

'That old man wasn't trying to kill you but, this man is!'

Seeing that the woman in front of him had no reaction against is icy aura, he frowned slightly 'This woman is only at the 7th stage of Nascent Soul Realm so how can a mental strength be so strong?'

"Hand over your treasure now or don't blame me for the consequences." he demanded cooly.

"How about... No?" Zhilan carried on boldly despite being aware of the massive difference of strength "Little dog, why don't you go back to your almighty master? Trust me, you'll never even be able to touch me."

Before her voice fell, Xia Zhilan had already jumped backwards a couple meters and before anyone could see, she pulled out 2 circular items from her pocket and threw them on the floor by Liu Heng and the elderly man's feet.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two loud booms exploded out simultaneously and the hall was immediately covered in smoke and fire. Almost immediately later, the entire building started collapsing and everyone immediately ran towards the exit.

Admist the confusion, Liu Heng and the elderly man had long lost sight of Xia Zhilan as they had been too busy setting up a defense from the explosion that seemed to have come from right under their feet.

'Thank you for purchasing 2 hand grenades from the System Shop. -20 points. You currently have 80 points in total' the system said in a professional voice.

'What! 20 points? That's so expensive!' Xia Zhilan shouted at the system in her mind whilst fleeing from the crime scene as quick as possible. Fortunately, she had managed to escape smoothly without any setbacks.

'Well what did you expect from buy 2 grenades?' it replied sarcastically.

'B-but... I only have 80 points now!' Xia Zhilan despaired in her mind.

'Work hard host and earn even more points!' System 005 encouraged in an annoying voice.

'Sigh... Whatever. System, is there anybody near us?' Zhilan asked.

After running away from building where the Battle of The Geniuses were held, she fled into the nearby forest.

As for the innocent bystanders inside the hall? They're cultivators. If they had actually died from two measly grenades, it would have been a miracle for them to have survived in this dog-eat-dog world for so long.

'No, they're aren't any people who wish to kill you here. However you should be careful of other people sneak attacking you.'

'System, why did those people think I had some legendary treasure on me? Is there something wrong with my cultivation speed?'

'Your current cultivation speed in almost impossible in the eyes of the people in this world. Due to your insanely strong soul strength, cultivation is naturally easier for you.'

'Oh, that cool! Except for the fact that there are going to be hundreds of people wanting to kill me for some non-existent treasure...."
