Chapter 423 A group of cowards who fear death!
Immortal Alliance, Heaven-Mending Palace.
Inside the hall, the same thirty-six figures sat cross-legged as always.
The area above the main hall was pitch black, with faint starlight flowing above it. Countless causal forces transformed into lines that intersected with each other before disappearing above the heads of the figures.
At that moment, a thin line in the sky suddenly snapped, and a figure below trembled slightly, slowly opening its tightly closed eyes.
"Zhao Jiu is dead."
The man spoke slowly, his tone utterly calm, as if the one who had died was not a genius disciple from his palace, but an ant.
Upon hearing this, the starlight above everyone's heads suddenly began to fluctuate rapidly, with countless rays of light crisscrossing, causing everyone in the hall to frown.
"Something big is likely to happen."
"I can't figure it out."
"Someone has obscured the secrets of heaven."
"What have we been doing sitting here in vain for hundreds of years?"
Everyone communicated using their divine senses. Although their tone was varied and rhythmic, their expressions remained calm and composed.
"Everyone."
Just then, a loud voice rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone in the hall turned to look in one direction and discovered that the speaker was none other than Jiang Zhan, the Palace Master of Taixu Palace.
"All races have a destiny, and those who defy it can defy fate."
"This kind of creature is not something an ordinary person can kill."
“There are often commoners in the mortal realm who rise from humble beginnings to overthrow celestial palaces; we must not be complacent.”
Jiang Zhan sat there, his body radiating waves of light and shadow.
"What does Palace Master Jiang mean?"
A palace master asked.
"We need to take direct action."
Jiang Zhan said, word by word.
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
All thirty-six palace masters are Venerables, the top combat force of the Immortal Alliance. According to Jiang Zhan, it is naturally safest for them to take action.
But the problem is that place is a chaotic place, a place where Changqingzi and the demonic cultivators lie in wait. The Venerable who risked his life to enter the place last time after obtaining the coordinates is still recovering from his injuries. This time, who can guarantee that it is not a conspiracy by Changqingzi?
"This move is somewhat inappropriate. We are the pillars of the Immortal Alliance and should not leave the Heaven-Mending Palace lightly."
Someone spoke slowly.
"Not bad!"
"reasonable!"
Jiang Zhan looked at the arrogant fellows sitting on their prayer mats and snorted coldly.
"A bunch of cowards who are afraid of death!"
"Palace Master Jiang, please don't be angry. What the fellow Daoists have said makes sense. I've heard that Baiyu Temple has a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Ranking who has extraordinary talent. Why don't we send him to investigate further?"
Someone chuckled.
"Be careful what you say! This boy is the next Palace Master of our Palace. If he were to perish, wouldn't my Daoist potential be severed?!"
The abbot of Baiyu Temple, Huang Luoxuan, said with a forced smile.
"Then send one person from each palace, who must be at least on the Hidden Dragon List. Is that alright?"
Someone else said.
"That's settled then. Each of the thirty-six palaces will send one person. I imagine that no one below the Venerable One in this realm can stop us."
"good."
"Okay."
The other venerable ones nodded in agreement, and the entire hall fell silent once more.
On the other side, Bloodbath City.
Zhou Ying and the others waited quietly outside the private room.
Soon, a sound came from inside the room, and then the wooden door was slowly opened, and a man with a haggard look walked out.
At this moment, Ding Yi's eyes were somewhat red, and the whites of his eyes were covered with blood vessels, as if he had just stayed up all night.
"Boss!"
Zhu Jiu Jie looked at Ding Yi and asked with some concern.
Ding Yi waved his hand, then asked Zhou Ying:
"How are the sales?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying immediately replied:
"It's sold out, but many people are still coming to inquire. I'm thinking that if there are any left, I can continue to sell them."
Ding Yi shook his head upon hearing this and said:
"With so much stock entering the market, all the major ointment stores must have been secretly investigating. During this period, just sell other things normally."
Zhou Ying responded immediately, while Meng Yunxi quickly came over, supporting Ding Yi with her hands, and even deliberately sticking the two balls to Ding Yi's body.
"Your Excellency seems to be a little tired. Shall I escort you back to rest?"
Meng Yunxi's voice was sweet and magnetic, and an ordinary man would probably be unable to resist it immediately. Even Ding Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his head, which was a little dizzy from the divine light, became clearer.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying sneered and said:
"Fairy Yunxi is so thoughtful. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the Holy Maiden of the Red Chamber in the mortal realm."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunxi glared fiercely at Zhou Ying, then puffed out her breasts, her gaze turning somewhat provocative.
As an ascendant, she naturally knew that she needed to demonstrate her value as much as possible in front of Ding Yi, a ruthless man; otherwise, given Ding Yi's personality, she might be killed at any moment.
But she knew that even though she was somewhat clever, she was still far inferior to Zhou Ying, so she could only consider her looks.
As a saintess, her appearance was naturally impeccable. In the mortal realm, even the veil she used to cover her face would drive countless men crazy.
Some men would offer thousands of taels of gold for a pair of socks she had worn, while others would even hand over their most powerful weapons just to have the chance to meet and speak with her.
It's fair to say that Meng Yunxi believes she's far more beautiful than Zhou Ying.
Sure enough, Ding Yi smiled and pinched Meng Yunxi's chin, then said:
"Take me back to my room."
So, under the watchful eyes of the others, Meng Yunxi, with a hint of smugness, helped Ding Yi walk towards his room.
Once the two figures disappeared around the corner, the male ascendant said with a worried expression:
"This is a real problem! What am I going to do? Brother Pig, you have to help me!"
Zhu Jiu Jie looked at the man beside him, and was immediately puzzled:
How can I help you?
Looking at Zhu Jiu Jie's innocent face, the man sighed helplessly. Just then, Zhou Ying, who was standing beside him, said:
"Don't overthink it. The Immortal Master is not as simple as you think."
After saying that, she left without a word, seemingly without any concern.
On the other side, after helping Ding Yi to his room, Meng Yunxi immediately closed the door with her heel.
She was also a little nervous at this moment. Her behavior outside just now was all an act. In reality, as a saintess, she had never even touched a man's hand.
However, she had read quite a few books like "The Secret Techniques of the Boudoir" and "Dragon Claw Hand," and she was even somewhat looking forward to what was about to happen.
Meng Yunxi helped Ding Yi to sit down on the bedside, then leaned against him, her hand trembling slightly as she reached out to take off Ding Yi's clothes, but Ding Yi suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"what!"
She was startled and looked up to see Ding Yi's calm face.
"What are you doing?"
Ding Yi asked calmly.
"Ah? Immortal Master... this..."
Ding Yi flung her wrist away and said:
"Get out, and close the door behind you."
Meng Yunxi was taken aback and subconsciously got up and walked towards the door.
Even after the woman left Ding Yi's room, he was still somewhat confused. However, he didn't dare to linger and could only leave in a hurry, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Inside the room, Ding Yi looked at the closed door, then slowly closed his eyes to examine the results of his all-in gamble.
woman?
Ding Yi dared not touch a woman he could not fully control; she had many ways of hiding poison in her body!
The ascendants from the upper realm, lacking malevolent energy, require an estimatedly long lifespan to control, making it a completely unprofitable proposition for Ding Yi.
He had a deep feeling that if he didn't improve his strength as soon as possible, he would surely face a dead end.
Therefore, he would use any remaining lifespan on cultivation rather than waste it on such trivial matters.
Those who indulge in lustful desires are ultimately just mortals; the way of the sage is to investigate things thoroughly, to acquire knowledge, and to unite knowledge with action!
