Chapter 88 - 89 – Return, and a Deep Sense of Crisis
For now, Zhou Sichen decided to stop worrying about the Immortal Poison Body matter. After selecting suitable immortal herbs for his grandfather, Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue, and the others, his thoughts returned once again to Elder Mu.
Xuanzi was in no rush. Though the old man had always treated him kindly, it hadn't reached the level where Zhou Sichen would go to such great lengths for him.
But Elder Mu...
A full week passed before Zhou Sichen emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Now that the area had an emperor, the spiritual plants within had a central leader. With that, they had order—what to do and what not to do was now structured.
Before leaving, Zhou Sichen retracted Honghong back into the Book of Contracts. She was simply too ostentatious.
Someone with the presence of a female emperor would draw attention no matter how low-key she tried to be.
More importantly, Zhou Sichen wasn't planning to reveal Honghong's power just yet. He feared that if she appeared beneath the Golden Tree or within Shrek Academy, certain powerful beings might notice her presence.
Even though that "certain someone" was immensely powerful, they still couldn't withstand the pressure of Honghong's imperial aura. Before his plans were complete, it was best not to alert the enemy.
With Honghong by his side, Zhou Sichen walked out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well openly. Not a single plant dared disrespect him. Having gained a body immune to all poisons, even the Jade Phosphor Poison Array had no effect on him.
Once past the poison array, Zhou Sichen retracted Honghong again, summoned his Hellfire possession, equipped his soul tool propulsion device, and flew straight toward Shrek Academy.
