Chapter 473: Bathe in the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy with Me~ p1
Deep within the Sword Palace, Yao Meng transformed into a streak of green light and silently arrived in the hall.
On both sides of the hall stood several plainly dressed cultivators, exuding a terrifying aura. These were the former elders of the Sword Palace, sealed within formations by Gong Lianyue, and only released today.
To maintain their physical bodies and spiritual senses, the Sword Palace had consumed a considerable amount of spirit stones during its millennia of silence.
Elder Yu Rui, the head of the Sword Palace elders, and the others stood up to greet her, cupping their hands and saying, “Greetings, Senior Jade Empress.”
Yao Meng hummed in acknowledgement, nodded to the Sword Palace elders, casually glanced at the several cloaked figures in the hall, and said, “I have important matters to discuss with the Palace Master.”
Gong Lianyue lazily leaned against her throne, looking down at her, and said faintly, “You have matters to discuss with me, but I have nothing to say to you. Jade Empress, please return.”
A dazzling golden light faintly flickered behind her. Her full and perky bosom appeared especially prominent against her black and white interwoven palace dress, her voluptuous and snow-white legs crossed, her attitude incredibly arrogant.
Seeing this, the elders who were about to leave the hall exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of the situation.
Many of them had just been released from the formations by Gong Lianyue and didn’t know that the Palace Master didn’t have a good relationship with the first Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land.
Both were at the Transcendence Realm. If they fought amongst themselves, it wouldn’t be a good thing…
Yao Meng lifted her eyelids, her gaze still playful, lightly tapping her red lips with a fingertip, and said with a smile, “So, Palace Master has nothing to say to me?”
Gong Lianyue glanced at her indifferently, not bothering to respond.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll just tell him directly.”
Yao Meng turned to leave.
Gong Lianyue’s eyes flickered, “Wait!”
Yao Meng didn’t stop, gracefully stepping into the void, about to walk out of the hall.
Whoosh!
The next moment, hundreds of flowers bloomed beneath Yao Meng’s feet. Those flowers transformed into a formation, blocking her path.
The wind blew against her green dress, her hair fluttering. A faint smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of Yao Meng’s mouth.
The old geezers of the Sword Palace watched this scene, their eyelids twitching, having already realized the problem.
The reason the Palace Master had such a bad relationship with the Jade Empress seemed to be because of the close relationship between Bai Ruoxi, the ‘sword’ prepared by the Palace Master in the past, and a certain man.
Although they had just been released from the seals, such a big event as the Jade Empress’s marriage, even someone living under a rock would know about it.
And now it seemed the Palace Master also cared about the man the Jade Empress married.
The elders exchanged glances and quietly left the hall.
They knew very well that rashly getting involved in this kind of matter wouldn’t end well…
Gong Lianyue stood up, walked down the steps before her throne, and stepped onto the soft carpet.
Sensing Yao Meng’s half-smiling gaze, Gong Lianyue’s expression remained calm, “Ruoxi just asked me to ask you, what important matter does he have with me.”
“Palace Master, I didn’t say anything just now…” Bai Ruoxi’s weak voice came from the World of the Heart.
Gong Lianyue pretended not to hear and said again, “And didn’t he go to the Southern Wilderness for business?”
“It seems he’s not very busy… He even had the leisure to be intimate with you last night.”
Gong Lianyue’s tone quickly turned cold. She sensed a dense Heavenly Court aura from Yao Meng, clearly indicating that Mu Zhian and the Jade Empress were…
Yao Meng looked at the expressionless, stunning woman with a smile and said softly, “That child called me Jade Empress Sister last night, acting spoiled, wanting me to be intimate with him… I couldn’t refuse.”
Although she had long known that Mu Zhian had some strange hobbies, she still didn’t expect that he would even like that kind of thing.
…She didn’t dislike it either.
That feeling of stepping on the Lord of the Heavenly Court, she actually didn’t dislike it~
Gong Lianyue sneered: “Didn’t he say he was going to the Southern Wilderness to handle important matters? Aren’t you afraid of delaying his business?”
“He is indeed handling important matters.”
Under Gong Lianyue’s hostile gaze, a pleased smile appeared at the corner of Yao Meng’s mouth.
The next moment, her clear and pleasant voice echoed softly through the hall.
“But he himself said yesterday that handling matters in the Southern Wilderness shouldn’t be rushed, and to make sufficient preparations before taking it slow~”
Gong Lianyue immediately understood that Mu Zhian was probably bewitched by this seemingly holy fairy again yesterday.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with coldness, and she laughed in anger: “You sharp-tongued little bitch, you came to this Palace Master today just to show off your seductive techniques?”
Yao Meng casually glanced at the cold-eyed Gong Lianyue and said with a faint smile, “Why is Palace Master so hostile? Have you already forgotten the time you served my husband together with me last time?”
Gong Lianyue’s expression turned somewhat uncomfortable. She snorted coldly, “That was something Ruoxi agreed to. This Palace Master strongly opposed it, but couldn’t persuade her in the end. Do you really think everyone is like the Jade Empress, doing such indecent things?”
“If this matter were to be known by the world, the Jade Pool Holy Land would probably become a topic of discussion.”
Yao Meng smiled brightly, “Last time at Two Polarities Peak, another spiritual sense occupied half of Miss Bai’s body. During that time, does Palace Master dare say you didn’t feel the nourishment of the Heavenly Court’s Spiritual Energy?”
“Does Palace Master dare swear to the Great Dao?”
Gong Lianyue sneered: “Why should this Palace Master listen to you and swear to the Great Dao?”
She paused, changing the subject, “If the Jade Empress has something to say, say it quickly. If not, this Palace Master won’t see you out.”
Yao Meng looked at the somewhat tsundere Sword Palace Master playfully and chuckled softly, “It’s not really a big deal, it’s just that he wants to borrow the Heart-Binding Lock, so he asked me to come find you.”
Gong Lianyue’s heart filled with doubt, “What does he need the Heart-Binding Lock for?”
The Heart-Binding Lock was the ‘Dao’ Bai Ruoxi walked during Core Formation Realm. After reaching Nascent Soul Realm, the Heart-Binding Lock evolved again. Those bound by the Heart-Binding Lock could share senses with each other…
It sounded somewhat interesting, but if this Heart-Binding Lock was used on an enemy of the same realm during battle, attacking the opponent would be equivalent to attacking oneself, making it quite a troublesome weapon.
“Xue Yi has returned to the Southern Wilderness and used soul binding on Regina,” Yao Meng concisely explained the reason.
“Soul binding?”
Gong Lianyue’s eyes flickered, and she said softly, “After soul binding, no one except the caster can interfere, especially if the caster was once a Dao Integration Realm expert… It would be even more troublesome if Xue Yi’s spiritual sense enters Regina’s body.”
“But what use does he have for the Heart-Binding Lock?”
“Xue Yi’s spiritual sense is currently very weak, her spiritual power far inferior to Regina’s. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until now to devour Regina’s body.”
Yao Meng slowly toyed with a strand of hair and said, “After Xue Yi’s spiritual sense enters Regina’s body, the two will become one.”
Gong Lianyue nodded slightly, “So the Heart-Binding Lock can’t lock onto both of them—”
Before she could finish speaking, Yao Meng suddenly chuckled softly, “Who told you he wants to use the Heart-Binding Lock to lock onto both Xue Yi and Regina at the same time?”
“One end of the Heart-Binding Lock will lock onto Regina, but the other end won’t lock onto Xue Yi.”
“Then who?” Gong Lianyue asked subconsciously.
Yao Meng quietly looked at her, an unusual glint in her green eyes, but didn’t speak.
…
The next day, early morning.
Southern Wilderness Divine Hall.
This divine hall in mid-air emitted a mysterious brilliance year-round. It was also a sacred place in the hearts of Southern Wilderness cultivators, only accessible to high-ranking cultivators in the Southern Wilderness.
Occasionally, one could see Southern Wilderness cultivators or other beings turning into streaks of light passing through the sky. However, when passing by the divine hall, they would instinctively lower their altitude, afraid of disturbing the beings within.
Especially with the recent rumors in the Southern Wilderness about the Space God Xue Yi returning and now controlling this divine hall… it made people even more awestruck.
“Mu Zhian is cunning by nature. He often uses that face to deceive women, not even satisfied with having such a beautiful woman like the Jade Empress.”
“Although Master is experienced, you must be careful of his tricks. I don’t think he’s someone who would easily compromise with you.”
At this moment, a young man with an ordinary appearance, looking slightly immature, walked before the high platform of the main hall, reminding the woman before him in a low voice.
This person was naturally Huang Weifeng. Worried about being discovered by Mu Zhian, he deliberately used special disguise techniques to create a new appearance.
Huang Weifeng naturally believed in Xue Yi’s strength, but he couldn’t help but worry. After all, this minor villain Mu Zhian was still alive and kicking, even becoming Dao Companions with the Jade Empress and others, eating soft rice… Setting aside his strength for now, he must be very good at understanding women’s hearts.
If not, Lan Feiying, who was also a Heaven-Chosen One, wouldn’t be so devoted to Mu Zhian… That woman’s Luck was even stronger than his, yet she was still deceived by Mu Zhian’s sweet words.
His only reliance now was this beautiful Master. Only after she devoured Regina and returned to her peak strength would she have a chance to help him plan his future schemes.
After these days of traveling to the Southern Wilderness, Huang Weifeng had also calmed down somewhat. Plus, with Xue Yi’s reminder yesterday, he had figured out many things.
Mu Zhian’s current strength was already among the top of his peers, and most importantly, he had powerful backing. He was indeed not someone the current him could deal with.
So now he could only place his hopes on this beautiful Master.
However, although the pressure Mu Zhian brought was immense, Huang Weifeng wasn’t very worried.
His past enemies, after opposing him, would always come looking for him to be ‘slapped in the face’, then be counter-killed by him in the end.
Even though he had been in danger several times, Huang Weifeng always relied on his ‘great luck’ to escape danger and even obtain great fortune.
This time would naturally be no exception.
Therefore, he believed that finding Xue Yi’s storage ring and bringing her back to the Southern Wilderness was also an opportunity given to him by his luck.
Xue Yi walked on the path towards the high platform with sexy and elegant steps.
Hearing Huang Weifeng’s words, she didn’t say anything.
However, a hint of indifference appeared in her gentle eyes that seemed to embrace all things.
She naturally knew what Huang Weifeng was reminding her of. Or rather, his reminder was completely unnecessary to her.
She didn’t think Mu Zhian would choose Regina, but that didn’t mean she would completely believe Mu Zhian’s words.
Regina currently agreed to be devoured by her?
But what if she changed her mind midway?
What if it was a trap set by Mu Zhian and Regina together to kill her?
Xue Yi had considered these possibilities.
With her current strength, approximately only twenty percent of her peak strength, it was enough to deal with most troubles, and enough to devour Regina’s body.
However—
Her spiritual power was too weak. Being trapped in the formation left by the Abyss Master in the palace for ten thousand years had severely weakened her spiritual power. Her current spiritual power wasn’t even as strong as Regina’s.
She could fully recover her spiritual power, but she didn’t have the time.
Mu Zhian’s arrival gave her a sense of crisis.
The Jade Empress didn’t attack immediately, clearly having sensed the formations and the summoning formation within the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall. Xue Yi deliberately revealed this to the Jade Empress.
It was to prevent the Jade Empress from attacking immediately.
Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to fight to the death with the Jade Empress.
That’s why she appeased Mu Zhian, even pretending to believe his proposal, believing that Mu Zhian was on her side.
It was to allow her spiritual power to recover a bit more and make preparations for devouring Regina in advance.
As for Huang Weifeng…
He hadn’t actually helped her at all from beginning to end, just indulging in self-satisfaction.
She even saw through his little thoughts about her, but he still had some use, so she didn’t act against him immediately.
“Go back and meditate, don’t let Mu Zhian discover you’re also in the divine hall,” Xue Yi said gently, turning around with a soft smile.
“Master, then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Huang Weifeng said with a smile. Sensing Xue Yi’s gentle gaze, his heart twisted inexplicably.
It was impossible to say he had no thoughts about Xue Yi.
He went through so much trouble to come to the Southern Wilderness, wasn’t it for opportunities and to win the heart of his beautiful Master?
But during this time, no matter how he tried to please his Master, all he received were such lukewarm responses.
On the other hand, Mu Zhian had just arrived in the Southern Wilderness for one day, and Master was already acting intimately with him, even holding his hand…
This made Huang Weifeng understand one thing: women were ultimately women. Facing Mu Zhian, a man with a powerful background and exceptional looks, they were very likely to submit to him.
And he painstakingly brought Master to the Southern Wilderness, even giving her many pills along the way to nourish her spiritual sense, yet all he received in return was a thank you.
Thinking of this, jealousy burned in Huang Weifeng’s heart, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
No matter what, Master was his. No one could take her away from him!
Mu Zhian’s backing was indeed powerful, but there would be times when he was alone.
And at that time…
