Chapter 138
Dina glanced down coldly at the middle-aged cultivator, before casting a look at the disciples behind him, she did not bother to say anything and merely motioned for Mace with her hand.
The Elder frowned seeing Dina's completely disregarding them, he was about to say something when Mace suddenly spoke.
"Yes, yes. I should have known you would make me do all the work, my dear Dina." He said with a sigh, he ignored the cultivators below and took one step forward.
The cultivators of the Moonlight sect watched in shock as Mace suddenly disappeared, the Elder who had the highest cultivation base felt his scalp go numb. He did not see how the swordsman had moved, and at that moment he thanked the heavens he did not have the chance to say anything stupid and ended up offending them.
"Move back!" Hurriedly ordered the elder, the newcomers must be some secluded powerhouses, he did not think they belonged to any of the holy lands since he the sect leaders and elders of the three great lands were quite famous.
The disciples behind him were confused as to why their elder suddenly acted like this, yet no one dared to say anything, as the group was about to fall back and bring down their formation, Mace had already arrived in the deep crevice.
The Elder alongside his disciples watched in stunned silence, their expression filled with disbelief, as their jaws hanged open.
"What in the name of the heavens?!" Muttered the elder. There in front of his eyes, the celestial body that wouldn't budge no matter how much he and his disciples tried, even with the help of their sects formation was carried effortlessly by the drunken swordsman who threw it behind his back, he then stepped into the air with wobbly steps.
"This one is not one of ours, and it doesn't look like it belongs to the 'Hive' so it must be one of those glowing thingies." Said Mace as he carried the corpse on his shoulder to Dina.
Her eyes calmly scanned the dead body, it belonged to an extremely beautiful female celestial with silver hair, although she had already passed away, just one look at her made the hearts of the moonlight sect disciples beat wildly in their chests as they looked at her without blinking.
The elder was better off as he quickly regained his senses, the swordsman's words made his heart threaten to leap out of his chest. 'Not one of theirs? Does that mean they are also celestial?!' His mind was going into overload as he recalled his previous words of the corpse being impossible to move, and splitting the profits.
'Did I really say that to a celestial?!' He nearly slapped himself in fear, before hurriedly went down to his knees not daring to stay in the air.
The disciples who were initially still enchanted by the beautiful celestial were shocked to see their elder kneeling on the ground.
"What are you doing!? Hurry up and pay respects to the esteemed celestials!" He ordered before using his aura to push down the disciples from the sky, afraid that the celestial would be offended.
Hearing his words caused the disciple's eyes to open wide like sausages as they hastily threw themselves to the ground and kowtowed, their voices echoing loudly as they offered their greeting.
"Greetings esteemed celestials!"
"I hope you don't hold this against me, seniors, we will just take our leave." Said the Elder, his eyes nervously glancing at both Dina and Mace.
'The little girl must be the leader.' He thought to himself, seeing at how the swordsman was following her around.
An awkward silence fell over the land as Dina completely ignored the elder words choosing to focus on studying the body floating in front of her with a serious expression.
Seeing that little celestial seemed to have no intention in speaking with him, the elder was left in an extremely awkward situation as he did not know whether he should just get up take his disciples and leave, or stay on the ground kneeling.
Thankfully just when the elder was almost unable to bear to silence, the drunken swordsman finally spoke to the little celestial.
"Umm, my lovely Dina, I don't really mind but I don't think this is quite the place to be studying a dead 'Hunter'." He said bringing her back to her senses, a deep frown was on her face as she waved her hand causing a giant cube to appear, under everyone's watchful gaze, the cube shocking opened up in half revealing a set of terrifying teeth and a frightening dark abyss causing cold sweat to run down the elder alongside the disciples' back.
The cube then moved with a swift motion as it expanded to the size of the dead celestial and swiftly swallowed it with one quick motion. Dina then turned to look at Mace and spoke.
"Something is wrong, we need to hurry up and get the other bodies." She said, her voice filled with a sense of urgency.
Seeing her appear flustered caused a frown to make its way unto Mace's easygoing face, "You found something?"He asked.
She looked at him and then waved her hand causing the cube to disappear before replying, "I need to confirm it first, and for that, I need more bodies."
"Alright then, after you my lady!" He grinned as he ushered her to take the lead.
Without looking back, Dina shot towards the skies turning into a shining beam of light that disappeared into the distance, Mace glanced at the Elder and disciples who were still shivering in fear before speaking.
"Careful not to bit off more than you can chew." He said with a smile before taking a step forward and disappearing in a flash of light leaving behind a dumbfounded Elder and disciples.
After a long while of silence, the female disciple that reported to the elder at first spoke in disbelief.
"Did that just happen?"
"G-Go back! Hurry, no one is to leave the sect mountain!" He ordered as he led his disciples back to their headquarters.
'Celestials are roaming around in the mortal plane! We can't afford someone accidentally offending one of them or that will spill the end for the Moonlight sect!' He thought as he rushed back to his sect.
