Chapter 371 Don't Waste Chapters
Xiaoyuan Palace, Wangqing Peak.
A burst of purple light suddenly fell upon the mountain peak, and then the purple light dissipated, revealing the figure of Zi Wenyue.
Zi Wenyue was holding a chain in her hand, and at the end of the chain were three blank-faced figures.
Zi Wenyue looked up at the main hall in front of her, then threw the chain in her hand to the ground. A tree then rose out of thin air and hung the chain on its trunk.
Just then, Zi Wenyue took light steps and walked towards the main hall in front of her.
After a while, Zi Wenyue returned from the main hall, her face flushed and her body weak and limp.
She arrived at the tree trunk bound with chains, removed the chains, and then transformed into a streak of purple light, flying towards the outside of Forgetfulness Peak.
This trip to Wangqing Peak was actually to obtain Zhu Wanyin's Xuanjun Token.
Walking inside the Xiaoyuan Palace with three ascendants, it wasn't so easy to fly out.
Not to mention that the entire Xiaoyuan Palace is monitored by the top-grade immortal artifact Wanliuyun, and there are also checkpoints such as the Rainbow Bridge Pass and the Yuanpin Gate. For an ordinary person to walk out so smoothly is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Even a powerful woman like Zi Wenyue, accompanied by three ascended beings, would be subjected to all sorts of questioning, and a single Golden Armor Guard could detain her at will.
But with the token of Zhu Wanyin, things are completely different.
Xuanjun's status, combined with Zhu Wanyin's identity, made him quite influential within the entire Xiaoyuan Palace.
Even if the golden-armored guards at the pass were extremely impartial, they wouldn't say much to Zi Wenyue out of respect for Zhu Wanyin.
Of course, this also involves a real-world power struggle behind Zhu Wanyin, the details of which are beyond the understanding of outsiders.
Last time, Zi Wenyue applied to the outside channel to get a copy of the Soul-Severing Ointment on a whim, and to her surprise, the people there agreed after only a little consideration.
Furthermore, they seemed very confident in this Soul-Severing Ointment, even declaring that it would definitely satisfy Zhu Wanyin.
As they expected, after consuming the Soul-Severing Ointment, Zhu Wanyin stayed in the main hall for three days without leaving until yesterday when he finally summoned Zi Wenyue.
"This ointment is good."
This was the first thing Zhu Wanyin said to Zi Wenyue.
Zi Wenyue dared not respond, but simply stood there waiting for Zhu Wanyin's instructions.
She had already understood the terrifying nature of Zhu Wanyin's methods from the last incident, and today marked the third day since the two guys who had been consuming the Ascension Ointment with them disappeared.
But Zhu Wanyin's next words made her feel secretly pleased.
"Take my warrant and go to the Heavenly Prison to retrieve a few Body Refinement Ascension cultivators."
"Once this is accomplished, I will recommend you to the palace to serve as the imperial inspector."
Zhu Wanyin's words were so calm they sent chills down one's spine, but to Zi Wenyue they were like a gentle ray of light.
Although she was also a genius disciple of Xiaoyuan Palace, she was only the granddaughter of a steward, so she could only be considered at the bottom among the genius disciples.
She wants to advance, to gain more resources, and to obtain a better cultivation method, which requires her to make greater sacrifices.
Body?
No, even if she is extremely beautiful, such a physical appearance is meaningless in the eyes of cultivators; at most, it is just a diversion from life.
Therefore, her gaze fell upon Zhu Wanyin.
As long as we can handle Zhu Wanyin, then all the effort will be worthwhile.
Fortunately, she made the right bet.
At this moment, she felt very fortunate that she had taken a brave step. Perhaps one day in the future, her achievements would be recorded on the historical monument of Xiaoyuan Palace, marking this heroic chapter of history.
Zi Wenyue became increasingly excited at the thought. With a smile on her face, she led Ding Yi and the other two towards the outside of Xiaoyuan Palace. She seemed to have already seen the scene of her future, suppressing all the heavens and becoming a female emperor.
Zhu Wanyin's warrant was indeed very useful. Zi Wenyue carried it and had no trouble getting through. She was able to leave Xiaoyuan Palace after only a simple inquiry.
Ding Yi, who was following behind Zi Wenyue, also felt relieved. He thought to himself that there was indeed something terrifying inside the Little Yuan Palace. As soon as he left the Little Yuan Palace, the sense of crisis disappeared instantly.
Zi Wenyue stood in front of the Heavenly Pillar outside Xiaoyuan Palace to discern the direction, and then led Ding Yi and the others to transform into a long rainbow and fly forward.
Unlike the journey there, Ding Yi did not seem to feel any particularly terrifying pressure along the way, nor did he feel any heart-pounding fear when passing through those giant mountains and rivers.
Ding Yi secretly guessed that all of this might be related to his two thousand years of all-in poker. At this moment, he didn't know how strong he was, but he felt that the woman leading the way shouldn't be able to withstand a punch from him.
The reason he didn't make a move was because he was still very close to Xiaoyuan Palace. If he did, he might be detected by the powerful figures in the palace, and then he would be in a passive position.
Judging from the woman's flustered expression, she was probably leading her group to a place that wasn't very safe.
This naturally means that the place has escaped the surveillance of Xiaoyuan Palace.
Furthermore, since being taken away this time might have been arranged by Ji Huanxue, Ding Yi decided to remain inactive and wait and see.
After leaving Xiaoyuan Palace, Zi Wenyue headed left and changed direction several times along the way. After flying for three days and three nights, she finally landed in a mountain forest.
As soon as he entered the forest, Ding Yi sensed the eerie atmosphere.
The air seemed to be filled with a sticky feeling, and it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to even move around here.
The moment Zi Wenyue landed, a purple light rose from her body, enveloping her entirely.
Then, she led Ding Yi and his group forward on foot with great familiarity, and soon they arrived at a large open space.
In the center of the open space stood a figure shrouded in a black robe.
The man was merely standing there, yet the soil beneath his feet had turned completely black, with numerous bubbles rising and falling from the damp earth, creating a continuous crackling sound.
"Hehehe, you've arrived."
The voice that came out was hoarse and sounded like a broken voice.
Zi Wenyue didn't speak. She cautiously looked around before continuing:
"I brought the people, three in total. Where are the things?"
The man in black robes didn't speak, but instead took out a pottery jar from his sleeve, held it in his palm, and said:
"Three ounces of Soul-Severing Ointment".
Upon hearing this, Zi Wenyue's expression immediately turned cold, and she asked:
"How can it only be three ounces? You said it would be one and a half ounces per person!"
The man in black robes sneered upon hearing this, and said:
"What, does that mean the gift I gave you before doesn't count? Do you want it or not?"
Zi Wenyue was taken aback by what this person said and immediately froze on the spot.
She was somewhat afraid, after all, this was not something she could decide. If she brought back less than two, she might be killed by Zhu Wanyin in an instant.
But the person in front of her was likely from the Demon Palace, and she didn't dare to confront him head-on. She could only frown and think of a solution.
Just then, she suddenly felt the iron chain in her hand tremble. She subconsciously turned her head and saw that the old man, covered in filth, had torn off the talisman from his forehead, and a strange smile appeared on his wooden face.
"Stop wasting your breath on her. You're here to see me, right? Kill them. Don't waste your time."
Zi Wenyue: "!!!"
Ding Yi: "???"
