Chapter 1282: Night Celestial Shi Jiuyan
The woman looked to be twenty seven or twenty eight. Tall and slender, she was wearing a black outfit and a mask with black, draconic patterns on it. Her eyes were deep and dark like the night, giving her a cold and enigmatic presence. She was carrying a red lantern with her right hand.
Whatever material was used to forge the red lantern, it must be quite special. It looked as light as a feather and as transparent as cotton yarn, but it gave off a firm and unyielding impression.
It was at this moment the flame in the lantern flickered, and painful cries could be vaguely heard from it. It was quite chilling.
The woman was wearing a bracelet on her left wrist. It was covered in dust and seemingly a little rusty, except it wasn’t. The rusts were really bloodstains. They made the bracelet look mysterious and deadly.
“The Stranger Binding Chains and Night Patrol Lamp. Is that the Night Celestial, Shi Jiuyan?”
“I didn’t think she would show up!”
Shi Jiuyan was the twenty-seventh champion on the Earth Champions Ranking and a Half-Sage. Hailing from one of the three aristocratic families of Wei, the Shi Clan, she was one of the Four Supreme Beings of the Night Patrol. She was a true elite of Wei, a woman of great power and influence, and one of the most outstanding warriors among her peers.
The Night Patrol was an organization that functioned similarly to the Pacification Bureau of Chu. They were created to deal with all Stranger-related matters under the heavens. There were plenty of elite units in the Night Patrol, and they were named Two Kings, Three Dragons, Four Supreme Beings and so on.
The Four Supreme Beings were the River God, Flower Demon, Night Celestial, and Jade Buddha. Together, they watched over the entire realm of Wei.
The Night Celestial was Shi Jiuyan. The fact that she was so much younger than the other Supreme Beings was a testament to her skill, intelligence, and strength. Since Shi Jiuyan joined the Night Patrol, she had slain countless Strangers and saved even more people. Among her greatest achievements were slaying numerous Disaster-class Strangers, ruining the descent of an Ancient-class Stranger, eliminating a dangerous Anomaly and more. Her achievements were outstanding, and she was adored by both the Night Patrol and the people alike.
If she continued to improve and accumulate merits at this rate, she was likely to become the next head of the Night Patrol. One could say that her future was limitless.
