Chapter 1138: Brewing Unrest
After a long silence, the pressure in the palace gradually began to dissipate as the white figure relented, "I suppose it was always going to be difficult for you, given Shi Kongmo was also there. However, the Heaven Controlling Vial is an item of the utmost importance, and it must be recovered. At the moment, the Heavenly Court can't spare many people to the cause as we're preparing for the Bodhi Banquet.
“On top of that, the Golden Origin Immortal Region is the territory of the Nine Origins Temple, so it'll be inappropriate to send other people there. Hence, we must continue to count on your Immortal Prison to recover the Heaven Controlling Vial, but failure will not be acceptable a second time, do you understand?"
Qi Mozi was ecstatic to hear this. As long as he was still assigned with the task of hunting for Han Li, there would still be a chance for him to claim the Great Five Elemental Illusion Mantra.
With that in mind, he hurriedly replied, "Yes, I understand! I'll send out all of our immortal envoys to the Golden Origin Immortal Region right away to search for Han Li, and I'll be sure to recover the Heaven Controlling Vial this time!"
"There's no need to make such a big fuss about it. I'll send someone to deliver a Heavenly Fire Holy Lotus Flower to you so you can reforge a new body," the white figure said.
"Words cannot express my gratitude!" Qi Mozi said as he extended a deep bow.
"You can go now," the white figure said as they waved a dismissive hand, and Qi Mozi extended another respectful bow before turning to depart.
Right at this moment, a red cloud flew over from afar, then entered the palace without any forewarning before transforming into a red-haired woman.
The woman appeared to be around twenty years of age, with incredibly fair and delicate skin and facial features that looked as if they had been pulled straight out of a piece of artwork. Her proportionate, yet curvaceous body was perfectly accentuated by her tight-fitting red dress, and she was truly a stunning sight to behold.
However, in spite of her breathtaking beauty, there was a completely undisguised look of arrogance on her face, giving her the appearance of an unapproachable, thorny rose.
"Fancy meeting you here, Chief Warden Qi Mozi. I heard that you had suffered such a terrible defeat in your latest outing that even your physical body was destroyed, and I had thought that that was nothing more than an unsubstantiated rumor, but it appears that I was mistaken," the red-haired woman giggled with more than a hint of mockery in her voice.
