Chapter 553 - 324: Only by Opening the Divine Barrier and Mysterious Palace Can the Body Connect with Heaven and Earth (Part 2)
Ji Wujiang shook his head: "Junior Sister Nianqi is about to breakthrough, you’d better not go."
"Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, it would be useless for you to go to Pingzhong County, as the person plotting for the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp might very well be in Pingzhong County."
"Senior Brother, are you saying that this person is refining the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp in Pingzhong County?"
"It’s possible. The Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp in Xirong County was taken, but there’s been no movement in Pingzhong County so far. This can only mean that this person hasn’t been able to completely control the second Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp."
"With the two counties connected, I can manage."
"...Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Make sure that Bei Xue defends Chi’an County well, we cannot give the Blood Evil Sect another chance. The consequences of losing all three Cyan Stone Lamps are unimaginable."
"..."
...
In a dark chamber in Qin Capital.
"Ming Yu, how is the investigation into Junior Sister’s death going?"
Ming Feng looked at the person in the black robe ahead with a somber expression.
"..." Ming Yu lowered his eyelids, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Still investigating. From the traces at the Yan Imperial Mausoleum site, it seems to be the work of the Nine Heavens Alliance."
"Don’t tell me these useless things, have you found the murderer?" Ming Feng’s voice was icy: "Ming Yu, you need to know that Junior Sister Ming Meng was one of the most cherished disciples of my mentor, Elder Mo Chen."
One of the most cherished disciples?
Ming Yu felt bitter in his heart, if she was so cherished, why was she allowed to venture into danger?
Now that she’s dead, they’re blaming him instead.
But Elder Mo Chen was an Outer Palace Elder of the Black and White Divine Palace, so he had to lower his head.
"Junior Brother Feng," Ming Yu cupped his hands in salute: "The death of Junior Sister Ming Meng pains me greatly, but Elder Mo Chen said when he left that Junior Brother Feng should make all the major and minor decisions."
Ming Feng’s eyes were fierce: "Are you trying to say that the death of Junior Sister Ming Meng was my doing?"
"Junior Brother Feng, you’re mistaken..." Ming Yu hurriedly bowed, "Now that Junior Sister Ming Meng is dead, Elder Mo Chen will surely be very angry. The murderer is the Nine Heavens Alliance, but the Nine Heavens Alliance is elusive, and the feasibility of capturing them is very low."
"And so?"
"So, I think we need to find another way to appease Elder Mo Chen’s anger."
"Speak." Ming Feng seemed a bit intrigued.
The reason for his reaction was that like Ming Meng, he was also a direct disciple of the Outer Palace Elder, so her death outside would not only bring blame from the Elder but also from the Outer Palace.
"Within the Great Qin Dynasty, there are treasures of the Cyan Flame Immortal."
"Hmm?"
"Three Cyan Stone Ancient Lamps."
"Junior Brother Feng, if you step outside for some inquiries you can find out, yesterday, the Divine Mystery Bureau’s Black Tower in Xirong County collapsed, and the suppressed item inside was taken by someone. That suppressed item is a Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp."
"Go on."
"The Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp is currently in the hands of a faction within the Great Qin Dynasty, the Blood Evil Sect. I suspect there are high-tier Primordial Qi Warriors behind them."
"Moreover, this Blood Evil Sect has taken over Pingzhong County, and the second Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp is in the Black Tower of Pingzhong County’s Divine Mystery Bureau."
Upon finishing, Ming Yu said no more.
Ming Feng’s eyes flickered, seemingly contemplating Ming Yu’s words.
After a moment.
"Since it is a treasure of the Cyan Flame Immortal, it cannot be left wandering in the outside world." Ming Feng walked to Ming Yu’s side, his face was affable, "Senior Brother Ming Yu, right."
"Right." Ming Yu greeted with a smile, knowing that Ming Feng was moved.
Offering the three Cyan Stone Ancient Lamps to Elder Mo Chen would make the death of Ming Meng irrelevant.
"Does Senior Brother Ming Yu have any plans?" Ming Feng’s attitude shifted.
Daring to plot for the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamps, the Blood Evil Sect surely had high-tier Primordial Qi Warriors behind them, Ming Feng knew that he needed to join forces with Ming Yu.
Ming Yu’s eyes momentarily flashed, then he showed a bitter expression: "Junior Brother Feng, in the beginning, you and I teamed up, even Ji Wujiang would be helpless against us within the Qin Dynasty boundaries."
"But... Junior Brother Feng should know, I was punished to this Ancient Profound Western Continent. After finally breaking through to the Nascent Qi Realm of the Sixth Realm, I neither possess strong Primordial Techniques nor high-tier Primordial Artifacts..."
Primordial Technique? Primordial Artifact?
Upon hearing the words, Ming Feng lightly furrowed his brows.
"Senior Brother Ming Yu, I can teach you high-tier Primordial Techniques, but as for Primordial Artifacts... I only have one handy one, though I do have a few Tier Five Primordial Artifacts."
"Having high-tier Primordial Techniques will suffice," Ming Yu’s expression turned serious, "For the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamps of Elder Mo Chen, I’m willing to risk my life."
"..." Ming Feng watched Ming Yu’s righteous demeanor, feeling moved, "Earlier, Senior Brother Ming Yu said the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp was a suppressed item in the Black Tower of the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Mystery Bureau? What was it suppressing beneath...?"
Ming Yu was overjoyed but maintained a stern facade: "It appears to be a Tier Six Evil."
"Then it should be easier, Senior Brother, if you and I can eliminate that Evil, we’d have Tier Six Elemental Artifact Materials, wouldn’t we?"
"Oh? Junior Brother Feng’s words seem to make some sense."
"..."
...
In the west of the Qin Dynasty, within the Nine Hordes Kingdom, in the realm of the Nether Witch Horde.
The Nine Hordes of the Nine Hordes Kingdom, the Nether Witch Horde is one of the three major horde leaders, the Nether Witch People do not cultivate Martial Arts, only refining Primordial Qi.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Nether Witch Horde, two people wearing water-patterned red robes are sitting in the hall.
"Brother Rong, the Mi Horde reports that a Tier Six Evil has appeared in Xirong County of the Qin Dynasty, and it’s a weakened Evil that hasn’t fully revived yet," You Wuba said excitedly.
"Oh? A weakened Tier Six Evil?" You Wudang’s eyebrows lifted, "Is the information reliable?"
"It’s reliable, I asked personally."
"...It could be a trap set by Ji Wujiang."
"Brother Rong, I have broken through to the Nascent Qi Realm of the Sixth Realm for a decade now, yet I still don’t possess a single Tier Six Primordial Artifact..." You Wuba was a bit anxious.
"..." You Wudang was silent for a moment, then said: "Alright, I’ll accompany you."
"Thank you, Brother Rong."
"..."
...
In the south of the Qin Dynasty, within the Jingyue Kingdom.
"Senior Brother, a Tier Six Evil has appeared in Xirong County of the Qin Dynasty." The woman in the light blue robe spoke with an air of elegance, mixed with a bit of anticipation.
"Junior Sister wants it?" Beside the woman was a burly man in black armor.
"Yes, if I can obtain another piece of Tier Six Elemental Artifact Material, I can forge a full set of Tier Six Primordial Artifacts." Lux Ning’s beautiful eyes sparkled.
