Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 558 Meeting beneath the somber moon

"Please have your seats as I serve.." Shi Hai gently said as he helped them to their seats and started serving them.

"Yang Qing, do you have any meal plans you would like me to adhere to, i can also take requests from the rest if there is anything you prefer or don't prefer on your menu.." said Shi Hai as he divided up the food onto different bowls and plates on the table.

"I don't know about the rest, but for me, I leave the ends to you, chef, whatever you feel like cooking I will eat. So don't hold back, and if there is an ingredient you want to try that isn't available, inform me.

If the Order can find a cold flame perch, then they can find almost anything. So feel free, Shi Hai..." Yang Qing said with a greedy smile.

"I Knew you'd say something like that. Then I will happily oblige if you don't mind Senior Mo Guang.." Shi Hai said with passionate flames burning in his eyes.

"If the boss said it, then as the administrator, I will do my best to fulfill them.."

lightsnοvεl.cοm "What about you all.."

"I will go with Yang Qing's suggestion.." said Luo Meili

"Me too.." added Su Jinjing. 

As for the three spirit beasts, they were too awed by the food to say anything. They barely had any willpower to tear their attention from the food to say anything.

The team went on to have their meals, as Mo Guang continued with his orientation filling any gaps that he had not introduced during the tour of the branch.

After they were done, they each went their way, as Yang Qing made his way to the white bullfrog sculpture for his rendevous with the gold eagle guard, Yen Xu.

The moment Yang Qing arrived at the statue, Yen Xu instantly appeared out of thin air. Yang Qing wasn't all too surprised by her sudden appearance. The whole branch was likely covered by her domain sense. 

From what he knew, the domain sense of a middle-stage domain expert was large enough to cover a whole city, so covering a branch like this had to be nothing to someone of her caliber.

"Follow me.." she said as she placed her hand on the bullfrog statue.

A rune instantly appeared on the bullfrog which then opened its mouth and swallowed both Yang Qing and Yen Xu.

The location seemed to have changed and they were now in a location with an open grassland, a dull moon with an ancient rune inscribed on it that was releasing a suppressive glow.

The area was somberly dark with two sources of lighting. One was the soft white glow being released by the singular ancient rune on the greyed-out moon in the dark skies above them and the other came from the mots of light that came from the only tree in the region. It was a dream star sycamore tree. Its leaves had radiant golden dots that made it seem like clusters of stars. The pulsating glow of the glowing dots on its leaves seemed to match the rhythm of the glow being released by the moon above them.

Next to the dream star sycamore tree, there was a dark pond that formed a ring-like surrounding the dream star sycamore tree.

Yang Qing stared around in wonder at what he was doing here. The whole place had a repressive and solemn feel to it like he was walking around the graveyard.

It was silent, chilly, and heaviness in the air that he couldn't explain.

However, his feelings aside, he followed Yen Xu who stopped before the dark pond that surrounded the dream star sycamore tree.

She immediately formed a seal that created a resonant effect between the moon in the gloomy sky and the dream star sycamore tree.

A slow white glow was released from the rune on the moon and traveled down forming a straight line that met with a golden glow that had been produced from dotted stars on the leaves of the dream star sycamore tree.

The two lights created three rings at the point where they connected and the light from the three rings fell on the dark pond that shimmered when the light fell on it.

It flashed and almost looked like it melted away revealing two abnormally tall figures seated in a lotus position on a platform that had countless black ink runes that released a white golden glow.

When Yang Qing saw the two figures, he immediately guessed their identities.

Both had glossy black robes that seemed something fit for an emperor because of how regal they looked.

One of the figures was a thin man who looked to be in his fifties. Though he faced down, he looked like he had a narrow face, smooth black flowing hair that matched the shininess of his robes, and a long beard that reached his chest and was just as smooth.

Next to him was a mature-looking female who looked to be in her late forties, with free-flowing black hair that seemed to have the same luster as the elderly man next to her.

Both figures had their heads facing downward so Yang Qing didn't get a clear look at their faces, but the level of their presence gave out their identities. They had a formless pressure releasing from their bodies, which even though seemed to be restrained by the glow released from the three rings, made the hairs on Yang Qing's hand, stand, especially the man who had a regalness to his aura that seemed to evoke a sense of submission to those around him.

However, such an effect was lost on the present company, who remained undisturbed by the aura.

Yang Qing on reflex triggered the dao runes in his bones, which radiated out one of his passive abilities which was poison suppression and purification.

The duo who despite their presence remained motionless suddenly looked up revealing their faces.

They both had jade white skin, with the woman having a kingdom toppling beauty, and the man beside her not losing out in terms of looks either. 

They had a sense of cold indifference on their faces which hid a certain level of majesty and malevolence. Both had silver eyes with the elderly man having a mysterious radiant light flowing in his eyes.

They both seemed to be looking at Yang Qing like he was a natural foe to them, especially the elderly man whose cold gaze narrowed on Yang Qing's body, particularly the subtle light and air he was releasing.

Yen Xu who had been standing at the side like a bystander had a brief look of surprise in her eyes before she went back to normal.

"This kid isn't bad. His physique seems to have a suppressive effect on them, especially the evolving one.."

"I take it they're the two obsidian serpents from the incident that involved the branch chief and the rest.." Yang Qing calmly asked as he casually took a seat whilst facing them.
