Divine King of Honour-Chapter 525 - Luotian Sect

Two days passed quickly.

Today, the election for the Holy Daughter of the Luotian Sect was held.

Early in the morning, Rom City began to bustle.

Everyone, with their children, headed toward the Luotian Sect.

Xu Nian followed Adam and Hua Gesang, joining the crowd flowing toward the location of the Luotian Sect.

The Luotian Sect was situated at the center of Rom City, owning the tallest and most majestic building, the headquarters of the Luotian Temple.

In terms of status, the position of the Luotian Sect was far superior to that of the Beimo County Prefectural Governor.

After all, the Luotian Sect was the largest sect in Beimo, with millions of followers.

Followers were spread across dozens of cities throughout Beimo.

Among them were not a few mortals without any cultivation.

One could imagine just how terrifying the status of the Luotian Sect was in Beimo.

Over these past two days, Xu Nian had learned many things about the Luotian Sect from Wentian Demon Sovereign.

Originally, the Luotian Sect was not its name but was called the Great Brightness Sect.

The cultivators of the Great Brightness Sect almost entirely practiced Light Attribute Profound Argumentation.

The Great Brightness Sect also had a Holy Scripture called Light Profound Argumentation.

The combat techniques and skills taught in this scripture were based on the three types of light argumentation.

Once one comprehended the Light Attribute Profound Argumentation and combined it with these combat skills, a cultivator could exert tremendous combat power.

And those who could practice this Light Profound Argumentation were precisely the Luotian Pope and the Holy Daughter.

The Holy Daughter was the candidate for the next Pope.

Becoming the Holy Daughter meant possessing the qualifications to become the Pope.

Thus, the Pope of the Luotian Sect was always a woman.

This was also why the Prefectural Governor so hoped that his daughter would become the Holy Daughter.

For once she became the Pope, she would hold the supremely exalted status.

And coupled with his position as the Prefectural Governor of Beimo, they would reign supreme over the entire Beimo.

After understanding all this, Xu Nian finally understood what the Luotian Sect was all about.

And what Xu Nian wanted from the Luotian Sect was precisely its treasure.

The Great Brightness Stone!

A stone that could emit endless radiance.

Only this stone could resist the Dark Devouring of the Death God Domain.

Hua Gesang followed her father, weaving through the crowd.

Yet, her gaze occasionally swept toward Xu Nian.

Although she didn't tell her father about yesterday's incident, she harbored persistent doubts in her heart.

The divergent behaviors of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader were too stark.

And if Xu Nian truly knew the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps Leader, why didn't the leader recognize him at first?

However, she observed Xu Nian closely, even deliberately testing him several times.

Xu Nian behaved as if he had no cultivation.

This forced her to accept the last words of Xu Nian, that the mysterious saint had scared away the leader of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps.

Though somewhat far-fetched, she could think of no other explanation.

Xu Nian, for his part, appeared indifferent.

All along the way, he pondered how to obtain the Great Brightness Stone from the hands of the Luotian Pope.

Clearly, the Great Brightness Stone was the treasure of the Luotian Sect, undoubtedly personally guarded by the Pope.

And the power of this Pope was probably not simple.

It seemed impossible to forcibly take the Great Brightness Stone from her.

"Looks like we can only take it one step at a time."

Xu Nian thought about it and finally could not come up with a good solution.

He could only wait and see how the situation would develop before making the corresponding strategies.

Soon, Xu Nian and Adam arrived at the Luotian Sect's Luotian Square.

Luotian Square was vast and could accommodate millions of people.

Yet even so, the square was still packed at the moment.

The election for the Holy Daughter of the Luotian Sect was a rare grand event.

How could the people of Rom City miss it? Some had even come specially from other cities.

Of course, there were also some who had brought their daughters to participate in the election, holding a try-and-see attitude.

At the very front of the square was a huge platform.

That was where the election for the Holy Daughter would be held.

The election of the Holy Daughter would also be conducted in front of everyone.

Hua Gesang, looking at the dense crowd, showed a hint of nervousness on her pretty face.

Clearly, such a scene put a lot of pressure on her.

"Hey, isn't that Hua Gesang? You're here to participate in the election too!"

However, at that moment, a discordant voice sounded.

Xu Nian and Hua Gesang's group all turned their heads towards the direction of the voice.

They saw a tall, imposing man standing with a young girl nearby.

The girl who had just spoken was that young girl.

She was about the same age as Hua Gesang, and seemed to also be around seventeen.

After all, the requirement for the Holy Daughter election was not to exceed eighteen years of age.

The girl's appearance was slightly inferior to Hua Gesang, but she was still among the beauties.

Her cultivation had already reached the Battle General Realm, even more solid than that of Hua Gesang.

"Lianna, is it you?" Hua Gesang obviously recognized the girl.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

And Adam seemed to also recognize the man beside the girl.

The man gave Adam a glance, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"Hua Gesang, I advise you to give up. You won't be elected as the Holy Daughter. Let me tell you something, I broke through to the Battle General Realm two months ago, while you're probably still wandering in the Battle Sect. What do you have to compete with me?" Lianna said with disdainful laughter.

"Hmph, the election for Holy Daughter isn't just about cultivation," Hua Gesang retorted.

Yet Lianna responded with a disdainful cold laugh, ignoring Hua Gesang's words.

At this moment, her gaze fell on Xu Nian as she teasingly asked, "Hey, quite a handsome fellow. Hua Gesang, he's not your man, is he?"

"He's just my attendant. Jealous of such a handsome attendant?" When Lianna commented on Xu Nian's looks, Hua Gesang immediately struck back proudly.

Xu Nian could only offer a helpless smile.

"Cut it, just an attendant, and he seems like a soft-shell shrimp. What use is good looks? In this world, power is everything. Hua Gesang, I tell you, I am determined to win the position of Holy Daughter." Lianna said with disdain.

After speaking, she swaggered into the crowd.

The middle-aged man also gave Adam a provocative look, then followed the girl and left.

Seeing this scene, Hua Gesang stomped her foot in anger.

Adam also had a look of anger.

"Who is she?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

This girl did not seem like the daughter of a Prefectural Governor.

"Her name is Lianna. Her father is also a merchant who wanders the desert, and we've known each other since we were children. But she has always liked to compete with me. I can't believe she broke through to the Battle General Realm two months ago, that's impossible. Her talent is clearly not as good as mine!" Hua Gesang said with anger and bafflement.

On hearing this, Xu Nian suddenly had a realization.

A meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.

Because he felt a familiar aura emanating from Lianna.

At first, he wasn't sure, but now it seemed likely.

He just hadn't expected the other party to extend their reach here.
