Chapter 252 The Eternal Emperor's Human Skin? Luo Hongxi Wants to Visit Ling Qingxue
But outside the city.
As the emperor's phantom image dissipated and the barrier shattered.
The powerful figures from various factions who were blocking the way outside flew in rapidly.
The person in the lead was none other than the Venerable Ancestor of Yaochi, Senior Lin Lan!
Upon seeing this, Zongheng, Jiang Wuji, and other powerful figures hurriedly stepped forward to greet them:
"Greetings, Senior Lin!"
"Someone actually received the protection of the Great Emperor's illusory image?" Lin Lan carefully sensed the faint aura dissipating in the void.
Even though she had reached the Great Sage Realm, the aura left behind by the Great Emperor still inspired awe in those who dared to look upon her!
Upon hearing this, Zongheng felt a chill run down his spine and bowed, explaining:
"I wonder which cultivator is so fortunate as to have helped us escape our predicament."
This way, at least the interests can be collectively distributed, preventing Lin Lan from having other ideas.
After all, Yaochi Ling Qingxue possesses extraordinary talent and may even have the potential to attain enlightenment, so Luo Hongxi's true abilities must not be exposed.
'If nothing unexpected happens, it must be Luo Hongxi's doing...' Lin Lan pondered to himself.
In her view, among those present, only Luo Hongxi, with her profound luck, could possibly possess such heaven-defying abilities.
However, she had no other thoughts.
Pulling himself back to reality, Lin Lan looked at the suspended human skin imperial weapon, a strange light flashing in his eyes:
'The inscriptions on this human skin bear a striking resemblance to the patterns on the corpse of the Eternal Emperor. Could it be... the skin of the Eternal Emperor himself?'
The Jade Pool has yet to figure out anything about the body of the Eternal Emperor, but unexpectedly encountered an item from the same lineage here, and it was even an imperial weapon!
Seeing her scrutinize the brown human skin, and exchanging glances with the others, Zongheng took the lead and stated:
"Senior Lin, this is an imperial weapon of the evil race. We feel that we cannot control it and wish to have Yaochi keep it for research."
"Senior Lin," Fu Ruomeng, who had regained her appearance, chimed in.
“I observe that the evil markings on that quasi-emperor’s body are similar to those on human skin, suggesting that there may be some kind of inheritance within them. If an outsider were to obtain them, they would inevitably commit evil deeds. We have no choice but to rely on the Yaochi Imperial Weapon to suppress them.”
"Yes, Senior Lin, we can only trouble Yaochi to take action on this matter."
Seeing that all the saints were of one mind, Lin Lan chuckled and shook his head:
"Do you all think my Jade Pool is omnipotent? However, it is indeed not safe for evil creatures to be outside, so be it."
After she finished speaking, a glint of light flashed between her brows, and a large, ancient-looking cauldron flew out.
When they saw the ancient cauldron radiating purple energy, Zongheng and the others' expressions changed.
"The Imperial Weapon of Yaochi?!"
After the initial surprise, everyone felt a deep sense of gratitude and admiration.
Especially upon seeing the several Yaochi Saints rushing towards them from behind, Zongheng and the others bowed once more:
"Thank you, Yaochi, for your help!!"
Upon receiving news that this place had been sealed off, the strongest ancestor of Yaochi brought imperial weapons to provide support!
Although everyone has a responsibility to guard the ancient city of Yuxie.
But Yaochi's assertive attitude undoubtedly gave everyone a boost of confidence.
Everyone will naturally feel excited and grateful.
"It was nothing." After covering the human skin with the ancient cauldron, Lin Lan put away the treasure, glanced at the crowd, and fixed his gaze on Luo Hongxi, smiling:
"You must be Luo Hongxi. It's good that you're alright. Qingxue should be returning to Yaochi soon. You young people should have more opportunities to interact."
She brought the imperial weapons here, mainly to protect Luo Hongxi!
This girl's combat strength is unknown, but her alchemy talent is too heaven-defying, and her chances of becoming an alchemy emperor are extremely high!
Without a doubt, Luo Hongxi's future is of paramount importance to the human race, and nothing can be allowed to happen here.
Of course, Yaochi's proactive approach was aimed at building relationships.
Luo Hongxi and Qingxue are both rising stars in the Eastern Region. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best for these two not to become adversaries.
Now, with the invasion of the evil race, the loss of any one of them would be a huge blow to the future of humanity!
'That's real vision!' Zheng Feifeng, Chen Haotian, and other disciples secretly admired.
Yaochi's intention to foster a friendship between the two was clearly due to the possibility of the evil race's invasion, which was a good thing for Hongxi!
As fellow disciples, they all subtly hinted to Luo Hongxi to accept.
'Why do you want me to go find her...' Luo Hongxi said helplessly.
She must prove herself, therefore Ling Qingxue is the enemy!
Judging from the Yaochi Patriarch's intentions, he might be planning to make them good friends, and then have her voluntarily withdraw when he attains enlightenment!
However, this was just her guess, and for now she could only feign happiness.
"Yes, senior! I have long admired Senior Sister Qingxue and admire her greatly! When I return, I will definitely pay her a visit in person!"
'Hongxi is really clever...' Zongheng chuckled to himself.
He clearly remembered Luo Hongxi's words when she was comprehending the Dao in the sect's scripture pavilion, referring to Ling Qingxue as the number one opponent in the Eastern Region.
The tone implied that the other party was an opponent who had to be suppressed, showing no admiration whatsoever.
"Visiting Qingxue?" Shen Yun chuckled.
When the two met, he laid it all out on them.
Once Luo Hongxi finds out that Qingxue is one of her own, her expression will definitely be priceless!
Because this girl always regarded Qingxue as her goal.
Since Ling Qingxue and Tu Miaoling get along so well, their relationship will likely be even more harmonious when they meet Luo Hongxi, who already has a very good personality.
The reason Shen Yun didn't suggest having the characters meet was because when two characters are together, only one person can trigger the notification, which would reduce the spending limit by half!
Let them have their own ideas and meet naturally.
"What a pity about the souls of those tens of millions of evil cultivators. It would have been so great if they had absorbed them into the Soul-Devouring Banner." He pursed his lips with some regret.
That's the downside of being born; you can only unleash your power on the immediate situation and can't use any real-world magical artifacts.
Otherwise, his Soul-Devouring Banner would definitely level up rapidly!
'If I ever go to the Xuan Tian Continent, I'll definitely have to go and collect souls from the extraterrestrial evil race...'
At this moment, information related to the Ancient Xia Palace popped up on the screen:
[Sect Information: Disciples of the Ancient Cloud Palace, as reserves, have begun fighting in the Southern Frontier's Domain Fiend Ancient City.]
'Ancient Xia Palace disciples? I wonder if I can activate the recharge prompt...' Shen Yun clicked on the Q version screen and saw more than a dozen disciples dressed in Ancient Xia Palace attire standing nervously on the city wall.
The battlefield ahead is the same as that in the ancient city of the Eastern Region, where the two sides have already started fighting.
Many saints are also fighting in the void!
Clearly, they had also received information from City Lord Jiang Wuji of the Eastern Region and had made preparations in advance for Saint-level experts.
But not long after, a strange thing happened.
The evil army in front suddenly retreated like a black tide.
Even the evil saints of the void fell like meteors, all rushing into the spatial rift at lightning speed.
"Fellow Daoists, we should not pursue a desperate enemy without knowing the facts!"
"Why did they withdraw their troops?!"
Everyone was filled with doubt.
But soon, the emotions of surviving a disaster caused the cultivators to shout in unison:
"We won! We won!!"
"What's going on?! Weren't they coming in all aggressively before?!"
"Who cares! Haha, it's so good to be alive!!"
'Could it be that someone has become an inside agent for the evil race?' Shen Yun, looking at the projection, stroked his chin and pondered to himself.
If nothing unexpected happens, the evil army here has received news of the quasi-emperor's death in the Eastern Region!
Currently, those who can transmit messages so quickly include bound characters spread across the five major domains!
Since players can add each other as friends, it's not difficult to send messages to inform the bound character.
In fact, anyone who pays attention can find clues about the 'behind-the-scenes players,' especially the major chambers of commerce.
Just like before, Ling Qingxue gathered the merchant guilds she had befriended at Yaochi and selected feedback items.
For example, some hostile players or factions will expose each other's identities in the Xuan Tian Continent to cause trouble.
So it can't be hidden.
"Profits can be tempting, and some people are actually siding with the evil race..." Shen Yun shook his head and switched the camera to show Tu Miaoling's screen.
