The Tale of the Devil Sword

"Say dear when will you accept my proposal?" asked one middle aged man.

Say the word 'dear' once more and I will chop your balls" replied Freya, a sky blue haired lady who looked to be at her late 20s.

These 2 were part of 7 beings flying towards the cave. They all arrived almost at the same point so they continued toward as a group.

"Can you stop pestering milady every time you meet her you piece of shit." A bald monk retorted to the middle aged man.

"… seriously you should just grow hair and stop being a monk, sanzang"

The middle aged man replied.

"Its tang sanzang, you fucker" Tang sanzhang replied without holding back.

"Just call him golden cicada instead of tang sanzang, Malkam" a man with brown hair, brown eyes and brown colored imperial style beard said to the middle aged man with a stoic expression.

There was a rumour that Tang sanzang was a cicada who gained sudden epiphany one day and transformed into a human.

He should be mentioned as a demon but he somehow managed to practice Buddhism and was able to transform into a 'human' even though his cultivation stage should not allow him to do so.

Most of the races in this world can take human form after they reach a certain cultivation stage.

Even though it was a rumour, most of the powers in the domain agreed with it.

Why? Because Tang Sanzang himself never denied it.

Many tried to find out but there were no results till date.

Tang sanzang's case was a mystery to all the powers in this domain.

In the end most of them concluded this cicada somehow stumbled upon a legacy and was able to transform into a human. A rude human.

(Interesting fact:- tang sanzang is a Chinese Buddhist monk who is actually a reincarnation of golden cicada, a disciple of Buddha)

"You should be a little more relaxed xia changhe" malkam replied to the imperial styled beard middle aged man.

"Well let's discuss about that thing, the reason we are all here." Said an early 30 year old warm honey skin colored woman who wore a seductive smile on her face.

"Ning Jing is right. Do you know what happened there?" A long haired young man named Liu zhengnan asked.

Liu zhengnan was the clan leader of the Liu clan who controlled the smallest region in the group.

"It might be a senior cultivating who broke through causing a phenomenon." Malkam replied to Liu Zhengnan.

"So what are you doing here then?" Tang Sanzang asked in a mocking tone.

"To pay respects?" Malkam replied with a smile on his face.

"Stop faking that smile bastard. You, I and everyone here is intelligent enough to know that a treasure should have born there." Replied the monk.

"… It could be some sort of legacy appearing?" Liu zhengnan said in an unconfident tone.

Though they were talking like a group of old friends anyone could see they were all wary of each other. By now they all reached at the point where they were 5000 kms away from the cave.

"We should have send some scouts first" Liu zhengnan continued the conversation.

"Then why are you here, huh?" asked Freya while she snickered.

"Yes reply to milady you fool." Tang sanzang replied clearly supporting… or rather flattering Freya.

"… no matter how much you flatter Freya, she won't accept you, you know." Malkam said while speeding towards the cave.

"Oh shut it. It is better than being a fake bastard like you" the cicada showed no mercy.

"This is not the time to fight. If there is really someone powerful enough to contend against us we should be ready to retaliate." Xia changhe replied with the same stoic expression.contemporary romance

"Yes yes your majesty~" replied tang sanzang in an uncaring tone.

Liu zhengnan just shook his head seeing the scene unfolding in front of him.

Xiu changhe was the only royalty in the entire domain. Other important regions were either ruled by a sect or clan or just by a single individual. Rest of the minor regions were either ruled by bandits, gangs or by some mid level powers.

Freya then asked while flying, "On a serious note do you guys have any idea about what happened an hour back."

As soon as this was mentioned everybody even tang sanzang became silent. If one could observe them they could see a trace of fear in everyone's eyes.

Only one lady in the group was not effected by it. It was an early 20 year old young lady with waist length golden hair and golden eyes. It was not blonde but pure gold.

She was a ravishing beauty with jade white face similar to a portrait.

Her face was untouched by makeup of any kind, and yet, that did nothing to mar her beauty. She sharp shoulders and an elegant neck, all of which emitted a sense of nobility.

She was also the most mysterious character in the group not just because of her aura or beauty but also because of her cultivation stage.

It was a known fact that she was the strongest in the domain. Who was she, where she came from nobody had any idea about it.

She was one of the 2 being who held the supreme power and controlled a region like xia changhe or Liu zhengnan.

Just when Freya asked about the phenomenon the golden haired lady stopped flying causing everyone to cease their conversations and stop with her.
