Escape from the Secret Chamber, Yang Yue Flew into a Rage!

After Zhao Xiuxiu withdrew her power into her dantian.

Yang Yue had just activated the Gu within his body, and now he had sealed the opponent's Qi Sea and meridians.

"You... you're lying to me..."

Zhao Xiuxiu then realized what was happening and looked at Yang Yue with hatred.

"She's really naive; she even believes things like that."

Yang Yue chuckled, "Although you've made a mess of this place, your body is a treasure. Not only is your Innate Origin valuable, but other parts of your body are also worth studying."

"Guards, take him back."

"Yes."

Immediately, servants from the Nine Yang Palace stepped forward and restrained Zhao Xiuxiu.

Although his Qi Sea and meridians were sealed at this time.

However, Zhao Xiuxiu still possessed a brute force in her body.

The people of the Nine Yang Palace had to push their vital energy to the limit to barely manage to hold him down.

At this moment.

The junior leader of the Nine Yang Palace suddenly appeared before Yang Yue, panicking, "Palace Master, something terrible has happened! Another person has woken up. I just returned to that secret room and found someone missing."

Upon hearing this...

Yang Yue frowned, then chuckled, "Interesting, very interesting indeed. We've run into two oddballs today."

"Search carefully, seal off the surrounding area, and don't let him mess things up. I'll deal with him after I'm done with this."

"Yes, sir."

The junior leader accepted the order and left.

Yang Yue strolled over to the outside of the building.

At this time.

A masked person had been waiting for some time.

"Nine Yang Palace, you are late."

There was a minor issue, but it's been resolved.

"How could your Yang Yue's Gu go wrong? Could it be that you've encountered some kind of master?"

"He's just a young man, but his physique is quite unique; perhaps you'd be interested."

"Yeah?"

The masked man sneered, "If you had truly resolved the situation, why are the people of the Nine Yang Palace sealing off this area?"

"One was dealt with, but the other escaped," Yang Yue said calmly.

"They escaped?"

The masked man frowned and said, "If this person exposes this matter and implicates others, can you afford the consequences?"

Don't worry.

Yang Yue said confidently, "This isn't the first time my Nine Yang Palace has encountered something like this. Instead of worrying about it, we should think about what price to offer for this batch of Innate Origin."

"What's the meaning?"

The masked man's eyes flickered slightly.

"This batch consists of top-tier talents from the entire Spirit Rhinoceros Continent. The effects of their Innate Origin abilities are self-evident. Furthermore, this time I captured a prodigy whose Innate Origin are even rarer, not to mention his special physique. As such, the price will naturally rise as well."

"You want to raise the price on the spot?"

"You're hiding in the shadows, while my Nine Yang Palace is taking such a huge risk. Shouldn't we ask for even more benefits?"

Yang Yue said, "Take today for example. If that guy who escaped really exposes this, we'll all be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, the masked man snorted coldly, "Take me to see that freak you mentioned first, then we can discuss the price."

"Please!"

The two entered the branch of the Nine Yang Palace.

They arrived at the private room where Zhao Xiuxiu was being held.

I pushed open the door and entered.

Looking at the empty secret room.

Yang Heng's expression changed, and he shouted at the two guards watching the secret room, "Where is he?"

The two guards from the Nine Yang Palace hurriedly entered.

But seeing the empty room before them, they broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Palace... Palace Master, the person... the person was just here..."

"Palace Master... we two have been guarding outside the door the whole time, never leaving for even a moment..."

"Waste!"

Yang Yue's face darkened, and he cursed.

Beside.

The masked man spoke mockingly, "Regarding the price, let's discuss it again once Palace Master Yang has resolved this issue..."

That's all.

The masked man walked away.

Yang Yue clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "Find them! Even if you have to search the entire Northern Territory and the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent, you must find them!"

"Thank you for saving my life."

In a valley.

Zhao Xiuxiu bowed deeply to Chen Ning not only rescued her but also gave her a pill to neutralize the Gu poison in her body.

"Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Chen Ning, the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect."

"Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

Excitement shone in Zhao Xiuxiu's eyes.

"Have you heard of it?"

"No."

Zhao Xiuxiu answered honestly, "But it sounds really impressive."

If it were someone else, it might be flattery, but given his character, it was absolutely his sincere thought.

Therefore.

Chen Ning pressed his advantage, asking, "Little Zhao, are you interested in becoming one of my people in the Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

"My benefactor, are you a god?"

"Uh... the future will be..."

Chen Ning pondered for a moment.

Zhao Xiuxiu sighed, "But... but my mother wants me to become Disciple of a God. She says that's the only way to have a future."

"What's so great about being Disciple of a God? You saw it yourself. If I hadn't saved you today, you would have become food for the Nine Yang Palace. They're incredibly ruthless and twisted. If you continue to be so focused on becoming Disciple of a God, you might get deceived, and then no one will be there to save you."

Upon hearing this...

A look of fear crept onto Zhao Xiuxiu's face.

Today's experience is still vivid in my mind.

Chen Ning coaxed, "Look, I saved you, you have to repay the debt of saving your life, right?"

Zhao Xiuxiu nodded.

"I've cured you of the poison, so you should repay my life-saving grace once again, right?"

Zhao Xiuxiu nodded.

"Furthermore, once you become an elder of my Dragon-Seeking Sect, with my protection, you won't be deceived by anyone anymore."

"My benefactor."

Zhao Xiuxiu said earnestly, "I want to go back to the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent."

What are you going back for?

"I want to go back and expose the evil deeds of the Nine Yang Palace, to prevent the next tragedy."

"I didn't realize you had such a strong sense of justice."

Chen Ning's eyes brightened slightly.

Zhao Xiuxiu chuckled and said, "Many cultivators on the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent went to the Nine Yang Palace and never returned. According to them, some became Disciple of a God and followed the True God to cultivate, while those who weren't selected stayed at the Nine Yang Palace branch in the Northern Territory to cultivate and prepare for the next selection."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning asked, "Doesn't anyone suspect anything? Everyone has disappeared; isn't that a bit too strange?"

"Some people had doubts, but the Nine Yang Palace would periodically transmit the voices of some cultivators using Law Treasure, so no one suspected anything."

"They have Gu poison planted in their bodies by the Nine Yang Palace. They have no choice but to obey. This is truly a ruthless tactic. No wonder Nine Yang Palace has remained standing all this time."

"Yes, that's why I wanted to go back and expose the Nine Yang Palace's actions."

Zhao Xiuxiu looked at Chen Ning expectantly and said, "Benefactor, can you come with me? I'm worried that if I go alone, I might fall into the Nine Yang Palace's trap halfway there. As long as you can help me go back and expose the Nine Yang Palace, I will definitely join the Dragon-Seeking Sect."
