The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan was now standing at the entrance of the labyrinth.

The entrance was actually a shimmering portal; Ji Yuan and the five maidens were all looking at it cautiously now.

Ji Yuan said quietly. "If none of you have any objections then we shall enter into the portal but if anyone of you wishes to back off now, this is the time to do so…"

However none of the five maidens gave any indication of backing off. Instead they were all nodding quietly.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to respond by leading them into the shimmering portal, three cultivators had suddenly approached them with wry smiles.

One of the cultivators had even brandished a divine sword and the profound animus of his divine sword had indicated to everyone that he was a middle-saint cultivator.

Now a middle-saint cultivator was quite high ranking in the entire Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and he was not expecting to encounter another saint cultivator.

Moreover Ji Yuan did not seem to have any formidable vibes and it was a clear indication that he was not a power cultivator or a strong cultivator.

That was the conclusion that this middle saint cultivator had arrived upon after observing Ji Yuan and his party after some time.

As for the five curtain veil maidens, he had concluded that these maidens must have grouped together because they were weak and afraid. Therefore they had all grouped under this lone male cultivator for some extra protection.

The weak will always group around the strong. This is the natural law of the universe!

And he had observed that these five maidens seemed to be looking at this lone male cultivator for leadership. Therefore this lone male cultivator definitely must be the strongest in the group.

If he was not wrong, once he had killed or drove away this lone male cultivator, these five maidens would naturally flock under his pants.

Ji Yuan looked curiously at the newly arrived three cultivators. "I don't think we have met before. You are? And why are you brandishing your sword?"

The middle saint cultivator laughed. "Of course we have not met at all. We are all from different celestial fraternities. Are you stupid or what?"

Ji Yuan: …

All five maidens: …

The middle saint cultivator was trying to provoke Ji Yuan now.

If this lone male cultivator was provoked then he would deploy another tactics to gauge his cultivation strength.

But if he did not react, this would mean that he was actually weaker than him and he was of no consequences.

Ji Yuan frowned. "Then why are you here? I am going into the trial now. So please excuse us."

The middle saint cultivator and the two cultivators that were with him immediately broke into roaring laughter; it was because they had gauged that this lone cultivator was actually weaker than them and he did not dare to offend them at all.

The middle saint cultivator laughed. "Listen up. I am Wu Kong, a saint cultivator from the Vast Expanse Celestial Fraternity. You can enter the trial, we don't care at all but I will have to ask these five maidens to accompany us instead."

The other cultivator that was with him laughed. "That is right."

The third cultivator was already rubbing his palms in anticipations as he looked lecherous at the five curtain veiled maidens. "I wonder how beautiful the five of you are. Don't be shy. Why don't you take off your curtain hats and let me have a closer look at you? Do you know that it is your honor to accompany us. Follow us and we will lead you to complete the trials."

These three cultivators were actually friends and they were actually lucky to meet inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. They were quite delighted with their good fortunes and immediately they had set off to terrorize the many cultivators inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. Now that they had met, they had decided to stay on this second level as long as they could to rob the other weaker cultivators and to conquer the many maidens that were inside.

And Ji Yuan and his party had become their very first target now.

Ji Yuan said coldly, "Get out of my way."

The middle saint cultivator laughed, "So what if we don't get out of your way?"

All of a sudden there was a flash of light as Ji Yuan unsheathed his immortal-step divine sword and he had cut off the left arms of the three cultivators!

His attack was so sudden that it had caught the three cultivators completely by surprise.

All three cultivators were groaning with great agony as they fell onto the ground and they had all turned ashen; they had never expected that this lone cultivator would be a peaked great saint!

Now they had really offended the wrong cultivator!

"Great Hero, please be merciful on us…" The three cultivators were pleading for their mercies now.

They were all golden celestials and could easily re-attach their arms.

All three of the cultivators were now betting that this lone cultivator was an orthodox cultivator and he could spare them.

After all, he had an amicable look around him…

The dozens of cultivators at the trial entrance were now startled and were all looking in the direction of Ji Yuan as they gasped at his immortal-step divine sword.

This was a trial and the strong would attempt to seize an immortal-step divine sword if they had a chance.

And there were many greedy looks that were now upon Ji Yuan; everyone was thinking, with so many of us here, surely we will have a chance to seize his divine sword…

But they were all waiting for one another to make the first move because they were unsure if they were able to tackle down a peaked great saint…

Many of the cultivators were thinking, "We have dozens of us here. Do we need to fear a single great saint?"

But before any one of them could move, Little Princess had swiftly unsheathed her divine sword and killed the three cultivators in an instant!

When she had displayed her divine sword, her profound animus had pronounced her as a great saintess!

The dozens of cultivators were shocked that there were actually two great saints among them…

Ji Yuan smiled weakly as he looked at Little Princess, "Why did you do that for?"

Little Princess said quietly. "I know that you are a great hero and you do not want to kill unnecessary therefore I have helped you to kill them. I am not averse to killing. Don't forget that I used to be from the Evil Cultivation Palace."

Ji Yuan muttered weakly. "This isn't the point. You shouldn't have killed them."

"They are evil cultivators. Why shouldn't I kill them?" Little Princess hummed coldly.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly. "Actually if you have given me a little longer, they would be dead cultivators soon."

Little Princess: ???

The other four maidens: ???

Ji Yuan laughed weakly. "Never mind that. Let's enter the portal."

He was actually waiting for the other cultivators to make a move first and to check if there are more cultivators in cahoots with the three cultivators before killing the three cultivators.

As Ji Yuan approached the shimmering portal, he muttered. "Although there is no need to kill needlessly but these three cultivators had dared to touch my women. Because of this, I am not going to let them off lest they become a scourge to the others as well."

The five maidens gasped softly as they watched Ji Yuan's back and felt a little touched by his words.

Following closely behind Ji Yuan, they soon entered the shimmering portal at the same time.

They soon found themselves in a dim maze and there were two passages in front of them; one to the left and to the right.

Immediately Ji Yuan asked them. "So which way? I say we go left…"

"Right side." All five maidens answered at almost the same time.

Yuan Ji: …

"I say left. I am the party leader." Ji Yuan frowned.

"Right is always right." Ling Feiyue insisted.

"That's right." Shui Xisi giggled as she agreed with Feiyue.

"Right sounds right." Little Princess laughed.

Ji Yuan smiled weakly as he looked at Qianfeng and Feng Minyue. "How come the two of you agree with them as well?"

Bai Qianfeng smiled weakly. "Woman's instinct."

Feng Minyue answered. "Left sounds so wrong."

Ji Yuan: …

Ling Feiyue laughed softly as she suggested. "Why don't we have a majority win vote?"

Ji Yuan: …

"I have already lost if this is the case…"

The other four maidens laughed around Ji Yuan.

Shui Xisi pinched Ji Yuan. "Come on, be a gentleman and follow us."

Ji Yuan rubbed his chin before he coolly said. "What if I say no?"

Ling Feiyue rolled her eyes before she answered coolly. "That will depend if you want to live or not."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes before he answered. "You win…"
