Inside the palace:
After accepting the ring, Zhang Yanqing sat down in the chair, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.
Take this opportunity:
Chen Qingyu, on the other hand, observed the layout of the palace from the perspective of a speck of dust.
The hall was not large, divided into several simple rooms with almost no furnishings or furniture, making it seem empty. It was clear that only Zhang Yanqing lived there.
Given Zhang Yanqing's status, she likely possesses a number of crucial secrets.
Chen Qingyu thought this through, but did not act rashly.
He is currently in a state where, although he has successfully infiltrated, he dares not make the slightest move, otherwise he will be exposed immediately.
Even if they try to coerce or interrogate him, he only has one chance; once he fails, there's no second chance.
More importantly:
He hadn't forgotten that he had tried to kill Zhang Yanqing twice, but both attempts ended in failure.
Even now, as he transforms into a speck of dust and possesses Zhang Yanqing's body, he still cannot determine whether this is her true form.
If he fails to threaten her, he might backfire and attract the attention of many powerful figures, or even Wu Chenkong, in which case his clone would be doomed.
let me see
He quietly mobilized his True Gang energy and unleashed the divine power of [ Turn Back Heaven and Reverse the Sun ].
His only reliance right now is this technique that allows him to see through the Heavenly Gang Transformations in the past, giving him access to some unknown information to facilitate his future plans.
In an instant:
The palace changed in his vision, evolving into layers of time.
History and truth lie hidden beneath layers of veils.
Um
He kept tracing back through time, observing the appearance of this palace in the past, and soon made a discovery.
In most cases, he only saw Zhang Yanqing, who was practicing asceticism here.
Occasionally, she would see Wu Chenkong, who would come to teach her cultivation and answer her questions.
For the rest of the time, the halls and pavilions Central Capital basically empty, leading Chen Qingyu to deduce that she had gone to cultivate in the area that could accelerate time.
As the curtain of history continues to turn, the supernatural power of [ Turn Back Heaven and Reverse the Sun ] supports Chen Qingyu's vision, allowing him to continuously trace back through time.
Um?
A moment later, Chen Qingyu's gaze sharpened as he discovered something unexpected:
Did the two have a falling out?
A thought struck him, and he immediately manipulated his thoughts to touch the corresponding time veil, confirming a more specific time scale.
Three years and five months ago.
After tracing back in time, time began to flow normally again, and the specific scene from that moment immediately appeared before his eyes, along with the sound, which echoed in his mind:
Remember, you have no right to bargain with me!
Wu Chenkong was still dressed in imperial robes, wearing a golden mask, and his tone was chilling:
The Desolate Continent is so vast, who knows how many creatures have lived there.
As for me, I possess information about all living beings, so finding a replacement for you wouldn't be difficult!
Opposite him, Zhang Yanqing, who had been reprimanded, lowered her head:
Yes, I understand. Please calm your anger, Your Majesty.
snort!
Wu Chenkong snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and his figure immediately disappeared into the palace.
After he left:
Zhang Yanqing sat back down in her chair, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
It turns out that there was a deep conflict between the two.
Thoughts churned within Chen Qingyu's mind:
Judging from Zhang Yanqing's expression, it seemed that this wasn't the first time he had been reprimanded and threatened by Wu Chenkong like this.
What exactly is their relationship?
Furthermore, what exactly does Wu Chenkong mean by "alternative"?
He keenly realized that this was a very crucial core secret.
Zhang Yanqing was born into the Yanggu Zhang Clan, who had been dead for ten thousand years. She had no relation to Wu Chenkong. Although her talent for cultivation was good, it could not be considered particularly strong.
Compared to a prodigy like Yin Zhongsheng, he's not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Why does Wu Chenkong value her so much? Why does he grant her such a high position in the Sage Evolution Palace, even allowing her to command Saint at the Extreme Transformation Realm?
There must be a secret behind this that I don't know.
Thinking this, Chen Qingyu immediately continued to activate the [ Turn Back Heaven and Reverse the Sun ] divine power, relentlessly tracing back through time.
Soon, the investigation led to a blank segment.
Ten years ago, this palace was deserted and empty, clearly because Zhang Yanqing had not yet been resurrected by Wu Chenkong.
Um
Chen Qingyu withdrew his supernatural powers and began to think rapidly.
A moment later, he made up his mind:
Let's take a gamble!
With less than a day left, it's hard to find a better opportunity.
Thinking of this:
He immediately and secretly sent out a faint divine thought, close to Zhang Yanqing's body, probing into her mind:
Be quiet, it's me!
Zhang Yanqing, who was lost in thought, suddenly changed her expression and instantly identified the owner of the divine thought transmission:
Chen Qingyu!
She instinctively wanted to scream for help, but then, as if remembering something, her expression shifted slightly, and she enveloped her surroundings with her divine sense, speaking in an almost inaudible voice:
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you have already been expelled from the Divine Void Heaven and Earth by the Holy Venerable? How dare you infiltrate the Holy Emperor Palace?!
Chen Qingyu responded telepathically:
I admit that I underestimated Wu Chenkong and fell into his trap.
But he underestimated me.
I was able to infiltrate the Holy Emperor Palace and come to your side; I have my own methods.
Zhang Yanqing did not respond, but instead carefully used her divine sense to scan her own body and the surrounding palace inch by inch.
But after scanning the area for a long time, she found no clues whatsoever and eventually had to give up.
You really have some skill; you actually managed to sneak into the Holy Emperor Palace right under the Holy Venerable's nose.
As she spoke, she suddenly laughed and said using her divine sense:
Did you come here specifically to see me?
It seems I hold a high place in your heart.
Chen Qingyu responded with his divine sense, his tone calm:
Zhang Yanqing, you don't need to flatter yourself.
It was by chance that I came to you.
Then, he changed the subject and said in a deep voice:
Miss Zhang, would you be interested in making another deal with me?
trade?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanqing's eyes flickered, and she chuckled softly:
Young Master Chen, you're in dire straits, barely able to save yourself, yet you still want to make a deal with me?
What do you have to offer for a deal with me?
With just a shout, a large number of Saint at the Extreme Transformation Realm will come to kill you, shattering you to pieces and leaving you with no burial place!
Before Chen Qingyu could respond, she added:
You don't need to threaten me with my life.
Although my strength is now far inferior to yours, you could probably kill me with a single thought before you can come to my rescue.
But this is the Divine Void Heaven and Earth, and apart from the Holy Venerable, no one can truly kill me, so you don't need to waste your time.
