It possesses some of the might of a Third-Tier Spiritual Artifact and is suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators. It’s a rare find.
In the Five Sects of Yan Country, the number of Spiritual Artifacts within the sect might even exceed that of Top Grade Second-Tier Magical Treasures.
Chen Ye has been frequently targeted by the Emotion Crossing Sect because he killed Mei Suxin and seized the Hidden Dark Aperture.
"Congratulations, Senior Sister!"
The brothers, Zhong Shan and Zhong Yue, also came forward, filled with envy, but wisely did not compete with He Qinyuan for it.
All three of them have extraordinary status,
The Zhong brothers are adopted sons of True Man Dongshan, while Hua Wuyin is the disciple of Budu River, one of the Seven Sects of Yan Kingdom — Huayue Mansion differs from ordinary sects, as it includes disciples from other sects in Ruins Country, treating everyone equally.
But compared to He Qinyuan, they were slightly lacking.
This is because,
The three of them, though considered strong contenders for the position of the next rising dragon, still don’t know when they could break through to the Late Period of Foundation Establishment.
He Qinyuan, on the other hand, is different. She has been suppressing her Realm to enter the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven; otherwise, she would have reached the Late Period of Foundation Establishment long ago.
He Qinyuan took a deep breath, took out a specially crafted Warm Jade Box, and carefully sealed the intimidating Sword Pill inside it.
Only then did she slowly exhale, her gaze drifting to the passive bronze Soul Lamp hanging at her waist, a cold smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
"Ten days have passed..."
He Qinyuan toyed with the Warm Jade Box, her tone filled with melancholy,
"That woman, Gu Tangyin, must be going mad with rage in Hunyuan City by now."
Ten days ago.
Just as they had peeled away the outer restrictions of this ancient cultivator’s Cave Mansion and were preparing to assault the core of the inner layer, Gu Tangyin scolded them through the Soul Lamp.
Yang Qiu is dead!
He and four Foundation Establishment Middle Period disciples from the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect were counter-killed cleanly by Chen Ye’s three disciples!
At that time, Gu Tangyin was furious in the Soul Lamp and ordered them to quickly eliminate those three people.
She also claimed that Chen Ye seemed to know many hidden secrets of the Grotto Heaven. If his disciples were allowed to act recklessly in the Grotto Heaven, it could ruin Huayue Mansion’s plans.
"Ridiculous. Even if Chen Ye’s Divine Soul is strong, why would he, given his status, have any right to meddle in the Grotto Heaven? Not to mention, those three little Foundation Establishment Early Period girls."
He Qinyuan scoffed,
"Yang Qiu was a waste as well. Being a Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment, he got counter-killed by three little girls of Foundation Establishment Early Period. The reputation of this generation of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect was completely lost by him."
Hua Wuyin shook his folding fan and interjected:
"No, no, no, have you all forgotten? Not long ago, the Spiritual Qi outside was chaotic, and there was a sea of flames in the direction of Dead Stone Forest. Combined with what Senior Sister Gu said, a Golden Core demon plant has appeared. I suspect those three little girls used a borrowed knife to kill someone, ambushing Yang Qiu."
"That does make sense."
Zhong Yue pondered for a moment, nodding in agreement,
"Yang Qiu appeared low-key, but in truth, he acted arrogantly, easily falling into traps. Those three little girls must have been desperately cornered, in a panic, igniting the earth fire of Yunduan Mountain, awakening the Golden Core demon plant. That fool Yang Qiu couldn’t dodge and was crushed by the demon plant."
"Senior Sister, what do we do now?"
His younger brother Zhong Shan scratched his head, speaking in a muffled voice,
"We’ve ignored Fairy Gu for these ten days; it won’t be easy to explain once we get out. After all, she is the rising dragon..."
"With this Sword Pill, why should I fear Gu Tangyin?"
He Qinyuan gave a cold laugh, but then her tone shifted, putting away the Jade Box,
"But we still need to maintain appearances; Huayue Mansion’s rules can’t be openly broken. Since we already have the Sword Pill, let’s also take the heads of those three little girls to report back to Gu Tangyin."
