Lady Mingzhu wasn't sure if Xiao Tian had really left, and lay on the bed breathing heavily.
Her complexion was terrible, and her heart was racing.
She had never felt so much pressure in front of anyone!
The mysterious Masked Man put immense pressure on her, even giving her the illusion that her memories had been erased.
"Those eyes are so eerie!"
Lady Mingzhu shuddered as she recalled the nine- Tomoe purple spiral-shaped eye.
After a moment, she regained her composure and returned to her usual self, the dignified and all-powerful Lady Mingzhu.
Lady Mingzhu soon realized what she had lost.
"His goal was actually this—the very thing the General asked me to find. I had just obtained it, and before I could even send it out, this man snatched it away. It's time to find a time to talk to the General and the others."
Lady Mingzhu's mood soured as she recalled Xiao Tian's "tool person" theory.
At this moment, Xiao Tian and Yan Lingji caught Bai Yuechu and Tushan Susu. These two had wandered around most of the palace, causing quite a commotion in the palace as they searched for and fought the assassins.
" Brother Tian, we didn't cause any trouble. It's all that Princess Hong Lian's fault. I'm already being lenient by not using my magic on an ordinary person like her."
"Let's talk about it when we get back. I'll mediate." Xiao Tian was exasperated.
Holding Bai Yuechu, Tushan Susu, and Yan Lingji's hands, Xiao Tian used his innate ability: Teleport, to return to his residence in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
There was no one else in the room. Xiao Tian opened the door, intending to find Nongyu Meiren for some food and drinks, only to find Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, and Zi Nu having a gathering.
"Hey ho, this excitement can't be done without me!"
Upon Xiao Tian's arrival, Han Fei immediately stood up.
"Young Master Xiao, I am truly sorry. I just learned from Miss Zi Nu that you have two companions, a little girl and a young man, who were taken into the palace by my younger sister, Hong Lian. Now that Young Master Xiao has returned, you must have returned with a full load. I wonder if my ignorant sister was harmed." Han Fei was a little uneasy.
"It's alright, I've got them out. In fact, your sister, Princess Hong Lian, didn't do anything to my two friends. I just wanted to get this sorted out with you. How about we find a time for your sister Hong Lian and my two friends to settle our score?" Xiao Tian suggested.
"Of course." Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"How about we meet at the Purple Orchid Pavilion tomorrow at this time?"
"Sure." Xiao Tian had no objections.
Xiao Tian sighed inwardly. These people wouldn't be able to enjoy the Martial Soul Beverage Cola Sprite. After all, what if they were scared by something that was made out of nowhere?
The moon was round like a disc.
At the bridgehead of a waterside street in Xinzheng City, a sprightly old man was waiting for someone.
As Wei Zhuang appeared, the old man turned around and immediately went to greet him.
"Boss, things went wrong. I lost several men. The item was stolen by the Poison Scorpion Sect during the handover."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang raised an eyebrow.
"Boss, I have another piece of news, it's really explosive."
"No matter how exciting it is, it can't compare to this defeat. Tell me."
Tang Qi, the head of the Seven Absolutes Hall, looked embarrassed and whispered, "Crown Prince of Baiyue, the Red-Browed Dragon Snake Tian Ze has appeared."
" Xinzheng is bustling with activity!"
"I'll go to the Poison Scorpion Sect and continue to keep an eye on other intelligence." Wei Zhuang gripped the Shark Tooth Sword tightly; he was very displeased that the Poison Scorpion Sect had taken the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment.
"Boss, there have been signs of Hundred Birds appearing at Nightfall recently."
That night, Xiao Tian received the World Fragment brought by Wei Zhuang.
When Xiao Tian learned that Wei Zhuang had slaughtered the Poison Scorpion Sect, he was speechless. If he remembered correctly, in the original Poison Scorpion Sect, Wei Zhuang was searching for clues to save a person who had already died, Li Kai, the Right Sima of Han State, thus destroying the Poison Scorpion Sect and clashing with the Mo Ya among the Hundred Birds.
"It's all in chaos! I wonder what's going on inside the palace?" Xiao Tian grinned mischievously.
Wei Zhuang was almost struck dumb by Xiao Tian's smile.
Who are you plotting against?
Xiao Tian scratched his head, speechless, and said, "How did you know I was plotting against someone?"
"A feeling," Wei Zhuang said calmly.
"Impressive, your intuition is spot on. Let's go find Zi Nu and ask her what's going on inside the palace."
Wei Zhuang couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Tian had done something big at the palace yesterday.
Afterwards, Xiao Tian met with Zi Nu and inquired about the situation at the palace.
"There's nothing happening at the royal palace, but King Han is going to bestow the title of Lady Mingzhu."
"Huh?" Xiao Tian was dumbfounded.
He used his Rinnegan to devise Xiao Hua: as long as Lady Mingzhu and King Han were together, King Han would be exposed, his skin scratched, and he would be beaten. After that, Lady Mingzhu would leave the palace.
"I'm full, something suddenly came up, so I'm leaving now."
"What's wrong with Young Master Xiao?" Zi Nu asked, puzzled.
"The bad thing seems to have failed," Wei Zhuang said calmly.
"Could it be about yesterday's trip to the palace?" Zi Nu asked in surprise, wondering what Xiao Tian had done at the palace.
After leaving Purple Cloud Pavilion, Xiao Tian cast the Ruyi Divine Ability - Invisibility Technique on himself and entered the palace, arriving at Lady Mingzhu's harem.
Lady Mingzhu happened to be inside the house. Xiao Tian used his Ruyi Divine Ability - Seventy-Two Transformations to transform into the masked demon king from yesterday and appeared before Lady Mingzhu.
It's you!
Lady Mingzhu was startled by Xiao Tian.
"You're actually alright." Xiao Tian was surprised. He walked towards Lady Mingzhu and decided to use the magic orb of his Tensei Jōgan to probe her thoughts and memories to see what had happened.
Lady Mingzhu smiled charmingly and stood up, displaying her graceful figure to the fullest.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to disappoint you. His Majesty suddenly had important business to attend to last night and did not come to my palace. He said it was to appease Princess Hong Lian."
Xiao Tian's face darkened beneath his mask. This was Bai Yuechu causing trouble and disrupting his plans.
"Your Excellency, I am willing to help you find those Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment. How many pieces do I need to find to obtain the power of immortality?"
Lady Mingzhu's beautiful eyes burned with desire, as if she wanted to devour Xiao Tian.
"It seems you've been in contact with Ji Wuye, but that guy probably won't tell you the secret to immortality." Xiao Tian stretched and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Lady Mingzhu walked up to Xiao Tian Xiao Tian and poured him tea.
"Your Excellency is mistaken. General Ji told me a legend..."
After hearing Lady Mingzhu's account of Ji Wuye's fabricated Teleport story, Xiao Tian's face darkened, and he almost rushed over to kill Ji Wuye.
Ji Wuye has also gotten into the business of swindling!
"You believe it?" Xiao Tian looked at Lady Mingzhu, his gaze sweeping over her from head to toe.
"If I hadn't seen Your Excellency, I naturally wouldn't believe it. However, the events of last night are still vivid in my mind, and I'm afraid I'll never forget them in my entire life." Lady Mingzhu sighed softly, sat down at the round table, and handed Xiao Tian a teacup.
"Interesting. You actually yearn for the power of immortality. Then you should also understand that once you're trapped in this vortex abyss, you either succeed or struggle within it, becoming a pitiful ant."
"Your Excellency, I will succeed."
