Chapter 68: Causing Chaos at the Banquet of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
【Inside the Bronze Divine Hall, once the disturbance ceased, you knew that Jun Moxiao had given up on attacking it.】
【But you also guessed that he was definitely camping outside, waiting for you.】
【You did not care in the slightest. Your purpose in doing all this had simply been to draw their attention and firepower.】
【You sensed the Qi and Blood within your body and discovered that the Qi and Blood seized from Qingzhou’s three sects had already been almost completely refined.】
【The remaining Qi and Blood was not enough to support your breakthrough into Void Refinement.】
【You did not mind this. The Spiritual Energy inside the Bronze Divine Hall was abundant enough for you to cultivate however you wished.】
【Breaking through to Void Refinement was only a matter of time.】
【Before separating from your External Incarnation, you had left the Void Refinement Pill with it, specifically for use when it broke through to Void Refinement.】
【After entering secluded cultivation, your consciousness returned to your true body.】
【In the second year, you arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Central Continent.】
【After arriving there, you followed the route from your memory and once again found that abandoned small courtyard.】
【You spent Spirit Stones and directly bought the courtyard.】
【After settling down in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you began thinking about how to find Eldest Senior Sister Zi You.】
【You recalled the circumstances of meeting Zi You in your previous simulation.】
【At that time, you had gone looking for Zhou Lingxi, only to discover that Zhou Lingxi had already been taken in by Zi You.】
【This time, the reason you came to the Great Zhou Dynasty was precisely because of Zhou Lingxi.】
【You hoped that through Zhou Lingxi, you could actively draw Zi You out.】
【As for why Zi You cared so much about Zhou Lingxi, you did not know. But that did not matter.】
【That night, you infiltrated the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.】
【After finding Zhou Lingxi’s residence, you used the Great Void Technique to enter it directly.】
【Once inside the palace hall, you discovered that Zhou Lingxi was still only a girl of sixteen or seventeen.】
【The moment Zhou Lingxi saw you, a trace of fear briefly flashed through her eyes, only to be replaced by delight in the next instant.】
“You’re not a monster!”
“You’re human! That’s wonderful! I’ve finally seen a human above Foundation Establishment!”
【Looking at the delighted Zhou Lingxi, you found that you could not feel happy.】
【After learning more of the truth about the Canglan Realm, you felt only numbness.】
【If you wanted to go on living, you could only keep moving forward while carrying a heavy burden.】
【You briefly explained to Zhou Lingxi what she had been seeing.】
【Although she possessed the Innate Immortal Eyes and could see through much of the truth of this world,】
【she was still merely a mortal who had not stepped onto the path of cultivation, so what she knew was still limited.】
【After learning the truth, Zhou Lingxi said only one simple sentence.】
“Take me out of here!”
【Your main purpose in coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty had been to take Zhou Lingxi away, but at present you could not directly bring her out of the Imperial Palace.】
“I can’t take you away directly. You’ll have to rely on yourself. I’ll help you escape from the side.”
【After you said that, you could clearly feel her mood sink a little.】
“Think carefully. Has there been any important banquet or major event in the Great Zhou royal family recently?”
【After hearing this, Zhou Lingxi raised her little head slightly and began frowning in thought.】
【After a long while, she slowly spoke.】
“There isn’t anything especially important, but...”
“It seems the Jun Family from the Eastern Region is coming to propose marriage. They want to marry my Third Imperial Sister!”
【The moment you heard that it was the Jun Family from the Eastern Region, your calm expression instantly sharpened.】
【If it were any other force, you might not have cared that much, but if it was the Jun Family or the Hun Family, that was a different matter entirely.】
“Very good. When the time comes, how about finding a chance to steal all the betrothal gifts the Jun Family brings?”
【At this, Zhou Lingxi looked somewhat dejected.】
“But... I’m currently under confinement. I stole something not long ago, so I’ve been confined for half a year.”
“And the Jun Family’s people will arrive in one month.”
【You told Zhou Lingxi not to worry. When the time came, you would find a way to get her out.】
【Zhou Lingxi trusted your words completely. You were the first human above Foundation Establishment she had ever seen, and she felt an instinctive closeness toward you.】
【After leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty, you returned to the small courtyard and brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea as you quietly waited for the right moment to arrive.】
【One month later, the time arrived as expected.】
【You infiltrated Zhou Lingxi’s palace once again.】
【When Zhou Lingxi saw you come, she nodded firmly.】
【Zhou Lingxi handed you a map and told you that it was a layout of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.】
【You looked at the map in surprise, not having expected her to trust you so completely.】
【After briefly disguising Zhou Lingxi, you used the Great Void Technique to bring her out of the palace hall.】
【Once outside, Zhou Lingxi told you where her Third Imperial Sister lived.】
“Big Brother Su Ming, the Jun Family’s people will hand the betrothal gifts to Imperial Father, and during the banquet tonight, Imperial Father will send those gifts to Third Imperial Sister’s palace.”
【When you heard the way Zhou Lingxi addressed you, an odd feeling suddenly rose in your heart.】
【After that, Zhou Lingxi told you her plan.】
【She said that once the banquet began, you should bring her to her Third Imperial Sister’s residence.】
【After arriving there, Zhou Lingxi told you to take some precious pills. She would claim that she had eaten them herself and use that as an excuse.】
【Hearing this, your heart warmed. You had not expected that even at a time like this, Zhou Lingxi would still be thinking of you.】
【You brought her to the location of the banquet and waited for it to begin.】
【In the blink of an eye, night fell, and the banquet began.】
【You watched with your own eyes as the guards carried the Jun Family’s betrothal gifts away from the banquet grounds.】
【You and Zhou Lingxi exchanged a glance, both knowing that the moment had arrived.】
【You brought her with you using the Great Void Technique and followed behind the guards.】
【Very soon, you arrived at the palace residence of Zhou Lingxi’s Third Imperial Sister.】
【After the guards left the palace, you saw that they had set up a layer of barrier outside.】
【Seeing this, Zhou Lingxi whispered softly into your ear.】
“Brother Su, there’s a barrier. Can we still get in?”
【You only smiled faintly in response. A barrier of this level could not trouble you at all.】
【Under Zhou Lingxi’s astonished gaze, you brought her through the barrier and directly into the palace with the Great Void Technique.】
【Looking at the betrothal gifts before you, your heart trembled slightly.】
【You had not expected the Jun Family to be so lavish.】
【Among the gifts, you found quite a few pills of Fifth Grade and above.】
【Looking at so many pills, you knew you could not take them all. With Zhou Lingxi’s mortal body, even with her special constitution, she still could not possibly eat all of them.】
【After letting out a long sigh, you took several pills and began carrying out Zhou Lingxi’s plan.】
【With a single flash, you appeared outside the banquet and shouted loudly toward it.】
“This is bad! The Ninth Princess has gone to steal from the Third Princess’s palace again!”
【The moment your words rang out, everyone at the banquet changed expression, especially the Great Zhou Emperor, whose face turned exceedingly ugly.】
