Chapter 511: Destroying the Forbidden Area_1
Dugu Qianye’s heart surged with joy upon seeing the golden bead spinning around the blade within the cauldron, indeed it was the Gold Spiritual Bead! However, its current condition was very poor.
The Fire Spirit Pearl said the Gold Spiritual Bead was being refined, and if the process continued, it would never recover.
Had she not promised Jian Yuezhi that she wouldn’t harm Jian Fengxing’s life, Dugu Qianye would have killed him directly and taken the Gold Spiritual Bead. Now all she could do was wait for Jian Fengxing to leave before seizing it.
After waiting a whole day, Dugu Qianye kept watch for Jian Fengxing to leave, but he showed no sign of departure. She watched anxiously as the Gold Spiritual Bead continued to swirl inside the cauldron. Just as she was considering a way to lure Jian Fengxing away, a guard entered and saluted Jian Fengxing.
"What is it?" Jian Fengxing asked, looking at the guard.
"There’s news from the forbidden area. Dugu Qianye trespassed, and the eldest apprentice sister has decided to execute her on the spot, but the Young Sect Master disagrees; the two are fighting outside," the guard replied.
Jian Fengxing frowned and said coldly, "Why would Dugu Qianye come to the forbidden area?"
"The Young Sect Master claims she’s been framed by the eldest apprentice sister. However, the guards outside have confirmed she indeed came to the forbidden area. So..." The guard didn’t finish, but everyone knew the rule—anyone who trespassed into the forbidden area was to be killed without mercy.
