Chapter 544

Ever since Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi left, Hua Wenmeng had lost the desire to go out and play. She would specifically target Ji Peilan and oppose her at every turn, which made Ji Peilan very angry. She would also cause trouble for the servants. Even though the servants looked down on this second-generation rich kid, they dared not do anything.

It would be easy for Hua Wenmeng to take their lives, but if they died, Ji Peilan would not avenge them, so their deaths would be in vain.

That day, Hua Wenmeng finally went down the mountain, and the servants around Ji Peilan breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Peilan wanted to kill Hua Wenmeng, but she didn't dare to do anything. Besides, Jiang Xiuyi had warned her twice, and if there was a third warning, she couldn't guarantee that Jiang Xiuyi wouldn't attack her.

The fact that she sent people to a small country called Fengyan was exposed by Hua Wenmeng. In fact, she was taking advantage of a loophole in the rules. The upper realm had a clear rule that their envoys were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the lower realm, so she did not do it herself. It can be said that her servants acted on their own, and no matter how hard they investigated, they could not find her. However, other envoys were also aware of such loopholes, so Jiang Xiuyi gave them a warning not to let it happen again.

Ji Peilan was so angry that she wanted to tear Hua Wenmeng apart. She did send people over there, but those two pieces of trash came back with nothing accomplished. But it didn't matter, one day those two guys would fall into her hands. She didn't believe that those two would not go through the passage to the upper realm. As long as they entered the passage, they would be at her mercy.

Hua Wenmeng came to a restaurant and was about to look around when a soul power message was sent into his ears. His eyes lit up and he ran to a private room on the second floor. It turned out to be Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing. A year had passed since they last saw each other.

"How strong are you now?" Hua Wenmeng sat down and looked at the two of them with a sense of mission. He had seen many young talents in the past fifty years, but only these two caught his eye, so his expectations were extremely high.

Yuan Jing laughed: "We have been promoted to Martial Emperor in just one year? You think too highly of us. By the way, has anyone gone to the upper realm now?"

Hua Wenmeng was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Yuan Jing's words made sense. He shook his head and said, "Those who haven't entered the channel yet want to seize these few years to improve themselves."

Yuan Jing asked curiously, "After going to the upper realm, have any warriors returned from the upper realm in these years?"

Hua Wenmeng smacked her lips and said, "I don't think I've heard of it. It's hard to come back, but I'm optimistic about you."

Duan Linzhi glanced at him. This guy would only say nice things to get them to contribute.

Yuan Jing also laughed and said, "Actually, I'm quite optimistic about ours."

Hua Wenmeng spat out the wine he had just taken a sip of.

Yuan Jing laughed even louder and took something out of his storage bag: "This is for you."

Hua Wenmeng wiped his mouth and picked up a talisman on the table: "This is..." His face changed drastically, "Is this the Sky-Breaking Talisman? Not the one I originally had?"

"Yes, but thanks to your Sky-breaking Talisman, Brother Duan and I were able to copy it based on that."

Yuan Jing said it lightly, but Hua Wenmeng swallowed his saliva. No wonder Yuan Jing dared to make such a big statement, he really had given him too many surprises. He knew the situation of the talismans in the lower realm. Compared with the upper realm, it was really unbearable. It was simply a daydream for the lower realm to make this air-breaking talisman. Even the talisman masters in the upper realm could not make it. The reason why his grandfather had it was because it was given to him by a talisman master that his grandfather knew.

This kind of talisman is completely beyond the ability of the two people, so how did they copy it? Such a genius would be a brilliant person in the upper realm.

Can Yuan Jing say that he and Duan Linzhi's original realm was high enough, and it was because he had been absorbing the origin of the world, which touched upon fundamental things like rules?

Hua Wenmeng's eyes brightened as he looked at the two people, and he was once again certain that these were the people he was looking for. Excited, he took out a lot of his stock, including the skills and secret techniques from the upper realm that could be used as reference for the two people and help them improve their strength. The faster these two people progressed, the more beneficial it would be to him.

Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were also very satisfied with this, and agreed with Hua Wenmeng to meet again in a year and a half. This agreement was also to allow Hua Wenmeng to prepare earlier.

The meeting between the three was very secretive. Even Ji Peilan, who had been paying attention to Hua Wenmeng, didn't know about it. But as time passed, Ji Peilan became more and more irritated. Several of her subordinates had met with problems, either dead or disabled, including the family of the servants.

If this was the case only for Ji Peilan, she might have suspected Shangduan Linzhi, the strongest of the younger generation, but several family forces were involved in the fight for resources, which made her so angry that she scolded her subordinates.

Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi have hidden their merits and fame behind the scenes. Don't blame these families for fighting back when they dared to follow Ji Peilan's orders and attack the Duan royal family and Zhai family of Fengyan Kingdom. Moreover, after investigation, it was found that none of these family forces had clean hands.

Moreover, those messengers and servants were about to leave, and they were seizing the last moment to plunder. Even though they came from the upper realm, some special products from the lower realm were quite rare in the upper realm and could be sold for a lot of money, which was also a considerable fortune for these outer disciples and their collateral relatives.

Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi could see from this that the Xuanwu Continent had to pay tribute to the upper realm while being plundered by these envoys. If this continued, the cultivation resources of the lower realm would become increasingly scarce, and the things that occasionally passed down from the upper realm would only make the upper realm's plunder of the lower realm even more intense.

After touring Fenghua and other countries, the two returned to Xuanwu City. Yuan Jing tossed the token in his hand. Now the token had no binding force on them anymore. Not even if they dripped blood to acknowledge the owner, it would not work because the restrictions inside had been tampered with by them.

Zhai Yuanhao rushed to Xuanwu City to meet his eighth brother, because his eighth brother asked him to see him for the last time before going to the upper realm. Zhai Yuanhao was afraid that he would be late and his eighth brother and Duan Linzhi would have left. Fortunately, he caught up with them.

Ever since Zhai Yuanhao went out for training, Yuan Jing deliberately avoided inquiring about his news. When they met this time, Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows. He was indeed worthy of being the son of luck. After not seeing him for a while, Zhai Yuanhao's aura had become much deeper, and he was also a little sharper than before. Now he was already an eighth-level military general, and was not far from breaking through to the Martial Saint.

The faster the progress, the more dangerous situations Zhai Yuanhao encountered in the past few years. Only in this way can he grow rapidly.

"Eighth brother, Brother Duan, are you really leaving?"

Yuan Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, we are leaving. After we leave, the family and my parents will be entrusted to you."

Zhai Yuanhao nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I'm here, no one will bully the Zhai family, and I will come to find you soon."

During this meeting, Yuan Jing told Zhai Yuanhao many things, including the secrets hidden in the token and the situation in the upper realm, as well as the most likely place for him and Duan Linzhi to stay after going to the upper realm. Zhai Yuanhao did not know these secrets from Hua Wenmeng, and his face was very solemn. He was not a young man who had just come out to explore the world. The experiences he had experienced over the years had made him see through many things, and he did not think that the messengers from the upper realm were sincerely helping the lower realm.

This time, apart from notifying Zhai Yuanhao, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi did not return to Xingjian Sect to say goodbye to everyone, as that would only add to the sadness. Even their meeting with Zhai Yuanhao was kept secret. After meeting Zhai Yuanhao, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi openly sent a letter to Hua Wenmeng, telling him that they had arrived and were going to break through the passage to the upper realm.

Needless to say, their appearance attracted the attention of many forces in Xuanwu City, and the news quickly spread outward. The major forces on the mainland sent warriors to Xuanwu City to pay attention to the matter.

In fact, the major forces all knew that Envoy Ji was targeting Duan Lin, but what could they do? Could they still compete with the envoys from the upper realm? It was not worth it for Duan Lin. An envoy from the upper realm might not be so scary. What was scary was the power behind the envoy from the upper realm. That was unattainable for the Xuanwu Continent, and could destroy the sect with just a flick of the finger.

Therefore, some people are not optimistic about Duan Linzhi's breakthrough this time. Even though he holds the token in his hand, most people will not worry about Duan Linzhi's fate as long as it does not hinder themselves.

Feng Shixi got the news, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Duan Linzhi has come to this day. Who made him jump so high that Envoy Ji targeted him? It's his blessing that Envoy Ji likes him. He actually dared to refuse. Did he think that he could go against Envoy Ji just by hooking up with Hua Wenmeng?"

"Let's go. It's time for me to go to the upper realm." Feng Shixi waved his hand and said. In fact, he could have left earlier, but he wanted to wait and see Duan Linzhi's ending, so he stayed until now.

"Your Highness is wise."

Su Tianfeng also received the news, and he also did not leave Xuanwu Continent. He wanted to see how Duan Linzhi would break the situation. He sympathized with Duan Linzhi and was very angry with the woman with the surname Ji, but he also knew that they could do nothing.

The waiting time was long enough, so when Su Tianfeng received the news that Duan Linzhi appeared in Xuanwu City, he quickly led his men there.

Hua Wenmeng winked at Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi. Why did they make such a big scene? Did they think Ji Peilan couldn't find a chance to attack them? The passage was in the hands of the messenger, so it would be easy for them to do anything in it.

Yuan Jing laughed. This was the opportunity they wanted. It would be fine if Ji Peilan didn't do anything. If she wanted to do something, the two would keep her in the passage. However, knowing her temper, the two knew that Ji Peilan would never miss this opportunity.

"Don't worry, we are ready."

What could Hua Wenmeng say? He could only worry and hope that nothing would go wrong.

The concerned Hua Wenmeng personally sent the two of them to the entrance of the passage. There were already people waiting at the entrance, such as Feng Shixi who was waiting to watch the show, and Su Tianfeng came specially to see them off. After the results of Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing came out, he would also enter the passage.

Jin Huang also came specially and said solemnly to Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing: "Be careful on your journey, I wish you all the best."

"You too, we'll have a chance to meet again when we get to the upper realm."

Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing nodded to Hua Wenmeng and the others who were seeing them off, then turned and entered the passage.

After the two figures disappeared, Feng Shixi sneered.

Su Tianfeng looked down on Feng Shixi's vision and mind. This was the only ability he had. He didn't believe that Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing couldn't see their situation, but they still chose this time instead of after Ji Peilan left the lower world, which showed that they were not unprepared.

At the other end of the passage, several people sat together chatting.

"There are more people who want to break into the tunnel this time, but they are patient and have waited for more than two years before breaking into the tunnel. In the past, some people couldn't wait to leave after getting the token."

“What additional security can we get by staying for two more years? Although Duan Linzhi has been promoted to Martial Emperor, I think it’s just a stretch. Moreover, he has just been promoted to Martial Emperor, so his strength is still far from enough.” The distance between the first level and the ninth level of Martial Emperor is like a chasm, and the strength of these envoys is around the eighth and ninth level of Martial Emperor. What’s more, Jiang Xiuyi has even surpassed the Martial Emperor stage and broken through to another level.

However, this is also because their strength in the lower realm is constrained and restricted. When they return to the upper realm, the accumulation of these years will surely cause their strength to explode.

So they are qualified enough to look down on these geniuses from the lower world.

"Wait, where's Ji Peilan?"

Someone searched around and said, "Oh no, there is no sign of her on the mountain. Did she enter the passage in advance?"

"Damn it, Ji Peilan's personality will definitely get her into trouble sooner or later. Will Senior Jiang let her off if he knows about this?"

"Oh, she has seen through this matter. Even if Senior Jiang punishes her, it will not be a big deal. But if those two warriors are not eliminated, Ji Peilan will go crazy and even have a demon in her heart."

"…What if something happens to her in the passage? Don't forget there's a madman."

"...Then she is unlucky. It is against the rules for her to go in and try to lure warriors from the lower realm to pass the level." No one would sympathize with Ji Peilan if something happened to her, including the other outer disciple who also came from Zixu Sect. If the upper realm wanted to hold her accountable, it would be Ji Peilan herself who was at fault first. Besides, unless Hua Wenmeng took action, Ji Peilan would not have been in trouble.

In the eyes of everyone, Duan Linzhi had just been promoted to Martial Emperor, and everyone naturally thought that he had only taken the Po Yuan Dan not long ago.

As for Yuan Jing, in everyone's eyes he is just a martial saint, and everyone thinks that his strength is a bit stretched to the upper realm.

What is the real situation? At this time, the Xing Sect Master who was staying in the Xingjian Sect received the box sent back by Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing.

This box can only be opened by someone who practices the Star Sword Sect's techniques, otherwise the contents will be destroyed immediately.

When Sect Master Xing opened the box, he was stunned by the items inside. There were several bottles of pills, and one of them was actually a Po Yuan Pill. This made him shudder with fear. How rare was Po Yuan Pill? Even the Pill Kings of Xuanwu Continent might not be able to refine it, and the success rate was extremely low.

There were also a few talismans. After finding out the functions of the talismans, Sect Master Xing let out a long sigh of relief again. He was originally worried that there would be some accidents if the two of them went to break the level now, but when he saw these things, he knew that the two of them might have deliberately chosen this time to break the level. The female messenger wanted to plot against them, so the two of them took this opportunity to plot against the woman back.

Sect Master Xing became excited and asked people to closely monitor the situation at Tianlan Peak in Xuanwu City to see if Ji Peilan had survived.
