Phoenix Returns - C49

Chu Shiyu had poisoned her soul. As long as she did not listen to him, she would laugh herself to death like she did just now.

As for Lan’er, Chu Shiyu suspected that she was Ji Wuqing and the daughter of a Fated Star.

She called Lan`er into her room and took out the little bell that Ji Wuqing had given to her.

Lan’er took it and asked curiously, “Why did you give this to me?” You want me to do something for the girl? ”

“Lan, do you have any idea what this bell looks like, or where you’ve seen it before?”

Lan’er shook her head. She had never seen this bell before. Ever since she became sensible, she had been sold to an embroidery workshop to learn embroidery.

She remembered two years ago, when Lan’er was chosen by a bully, the boss of the embroidery workshop wanted to sell her to that bully.

She remembered that there was a small bell embroidered on the handkerchief she wore.

Since then, Lan’er had always been by Chu Shiyu’s side. She was very smart, and knew how to teach her martial arts as soon as she learned it. Although she didn’t know when she was born, she still looked around the same age as Chu Shiyu.

It was just that she said that she had no image of this bell, making Chu Shiyu somewhat forget.

Since she promised Ji Wuqing to help her find that child, she wouldn’t let down Ji Wuqing’s trust.

She looked at Lan’er’s waist. She must have also had a birthmark, but Chu Shiyu didn’t reveal it. He left the soul at Lan’er’s side. With his little intelligence, he would find the birthmark on Lan’er’s waist sooner or later.

Master Chu also didn’t understand. Didn’t a girl let a man have a look at her? Was he going to cry and die? When she was at the Palace of Hunting, didn’t she let Long Ao Tian see it before? [Why didn’t I see him do it? Perhaps, his skin was rather thick!

She had to return to the palace as soon as possible, because it was so peaceful and strange.

Late at night, just as Chu Shiyu was about to sleep, she suddenly saw a shadow flash by the window. She got up in shock and chased after it.

He ran out of the hall but saw nothing. He disappeared like a ghost. With her current inner force, probing the surroundings wouldn’t be difficult at all. She would definitely be able to determine the wrong thing within 100 steps.

But that figure didn’t even have a breath of life. Did he really see a ghost?

Master Chu was worried, so he went to the Heaven and Earth Palace to check. The Heaven and Earth Palace was the entrance to the palace’s secret chamber, and there were many secrets hidden within.

There was also the dragon’s scale, which was kept inside the secret chamber. Although the master had secretly moved the dragon’s scale to a safe location, they still had to guard against anyone from entering the secret chamber.

Walking to the Heaven and Earth Palace, he saw that the guards at the entrance were motionless, their faces pale, and their eyes glazed over as though someone had drugged them.

As for Gu poison, in this world, if Ji Wuqing was to be ranked first, no one would dare call themselves second. After all, she was the successor of Ji Wuqing, so how could she not be worthy of her title?

She slapped a few guards until a few silkworm bugs fell from their bodies. Only then did the guards slowly regain their consciousness.

“We pay our respects to the Grand Princess …”

“No need to be so polite!” Master Chu held hands to avoid their etiquette, then asked, “Is there something different about the Heaven and Earth Palace? Have you seen anyone or anything enter the hall? ”

The guards shook their heads, indicating that they did not see anything. That’s right, if he could see the other party, he would not have just been infected by the Gu and would have died a long time ago.

That person had sneaked in because he did not want to be discovered, which was the reason why he had drugged these guards.

She ordered someone to stand guard outside. She stepped into the Universal Hall and slowly opened the door to the secret chamber. Everything inside was as it had always been.

Although there were traces of it being turned over, it had still been placed in its original position. She quietly observed every corner of the secret room, and discovered that there were traces of someone moving it.

It seemed that the palace was no longer safe. If someone came in, why didn’t they activate the ghost army in the secret room? Was he a dead man?

Chu Shiyu slowly left the secret room and walked out of the main hall. He glanced at the guards standing at the door. Originally, the four guards had four different auras, but why was there one less?

She looked at the guard standing in the corner. Unexpectedly, he did not have a heartbeat, nor did he have any breathing sounds.

Seeing that the four guards had not moved, he suddenly turned around and thrust his dagger at the guard in the corner. Only then did he see the guard suddenly open his eyes and flee from the palace.

Chu Shiyu was greatly alarmed. There was indeed a ghost, and when the other guards saw this, they shouted that there was an assassin. Only then did they see the flocks of guards coming from all directions searching in all directions.

Shi Xueman had long since chased after him, but she could not find his figure. It was as if he had disappeared in an instant.

This person was even more terrifying than she had imagined. Furthermore, she didn’t even know his identity or purpose. The reason he could sneak into the secret chamber was most likely because of Long Lin.

Could it be that there are people who are unwilling to give up and still want to steal the Heavenly Master’s dragon scales?

That was true. Big Cang had never given up. If he couldn’t obtain the dragon’s scale, he would go all out until he could obtain it. However, Big Cang had never heard of any powerful experts, unless they were the master of the Temple of Graveyard, Murong Shixiong.

This person was the same as Murong Jiuqing; he grew up in a dark tomb. He was much stronger than Murong Jiuqing. It was said that this person was extremely evil, able to imitate other people’s voices by disguising himself as a person of all kinds.

He had no choice but to return to the Imperial Palace. In order to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain, he had no choice but to return to the Imperial Palace.

As they passed North Gate Street, they saw a group of beggars begging in the crowd. Chu Shiyu realized that some of these beggars didn’t have any heartbeats or breaths, just like the guard in the palace. There was no sound of breathing.

She didn’t attack, instead, she pretended as if nothing had happened as she walked in the middle of the crowd, slowly heading towards the palace. When she reached the end of the street, the group of beggars suddenly reappeared.

Seeing Chu Shiyu walk over, the beggars stretched out their muddy hands and asked her for silver taels.

Chu Shiyu took out a storage pouch from his waist, opened it and threw the silver pieces to the sky, only to see a bunch of beggars snatching the scattered silver pieces.

Only one of the beggars stood still and took advantage of the chaos to strike at Chu Shiyu’s Zong Acupoint.

Chu Shiyu only felt a chill behind him before he immediately turned around and blocked the palm with one hand. However, he had already been knocked back ten steps by the beggar’s palm strike, and was now pressed against the stone wall.

This palm strike had almost shattered the internal organs in Chu Shiyu’s body. He only felt a stream of hot air boil in his chest and gush to his throat.

“Pu ~” He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The beggar saw her pale face and unstable breathing, so he slowly approached her.

He held a silver skull in his hand, and poisonous smoke emitted from the skull.

She breathed into Chu Shiyu’s lungs. Her misty eyes began to glaze over, and she felt herself falling asleep.

“Cough, cough …” What is this? “What did you give me to smell …”

The beggar laughed sinisterly and said coldly, “This is a poison that can make you fall asleep. If you fall asleep, you’ll be like a dead man, unaware of anything.”

“But I don’t want to die yet. I want to know what exactly you want to do, and why you want to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.”

“By the orders of the Warehouse Emperor, I have come to retrieve the Heavenly Master’s dragon scales.”

Zhu Shiyu shook his head with all his might, trying his best to not let himself fall asleep. She wanted to know why Emperor Da Cang had to obtain the dragon scale. What was his final goal?

“Why must Sikong find the dragon’s scale? What is he doing with the dragon scales? ”

The beggar coldly snorted. “If he wants the dragon’s scale, he wants to use his Nine Nether Source Spirit to devour it, to protect his own life. What should be said has already been said. You should rest in peace now, right?”

So that’s how it is, the Nine Serenities’ elemental energy actually has the function of immortality!
