Chapter 80 Empress Zhu Yuyan, Cooperation

Cihang Jingzhai is located outside Daxing City, on the Dita Peak of Zhongnan Mountain. Jingnian Chan Temple is located in the suburbs of Luoyang, while Yin Kui Sect is located in a secluded valley more than 100 miles away from Yangzhou.

To avoid the Xuantian Sect, Dan Chenzi carried Wanwan and flew away from Yangzhou City. Guided by the little girl, he flew towards Youming Valley, the headquarters of the Yin Kui Sect.

Although the name sounds scary, the valley is actually very beautiful. From afar, you can see a waterfall cascading down like a silver river, and below the waterfall lies the Valley of the Underworld.

"Look, our Yin Kui Sect is just down there over by the waterfall," Wanwan said, pointing to the distant waterfall from the air.

Dan Chenzi nodded, flapped his wings, and flew at great speed into the valley.

Here, buildings of varying sizes are situated, clearly layered when viewed from above. One of the buildings is particularly grand; it is the main hall of the Yin Kui Sect and the residence of Empress Zhu Yuyan.

Dan Chenzi's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the disciples in the valley.

"Knock knock..."

Warning bells were ringing one after another.

Many disciples rushed out of the house and looked up at the strange thing in the sky.

"Hmm?" Inside the main hall, a beautiful woman with an ethereal appearance sat cross-legged on a white jade bed. She slowly opened her eyes after hearing the bell.

The beautiful woman was Zhu Yuyan, with a red plum blossom dot between her eyebrows. She had a cold and elegant demeanor. Although she was seventy years old, time had not left any trace on her face, and her skin was still as fair as a young girl's.

Zhu Yuyan was puzzled, wondering if the righteous path had broken in. In a flash, she disappeared from the white jade bed.

Upon arriving outside the main hall, Zhu Yuyan did not sense any signs of intrusion. She saw the disciples in the valley looking up at the sky, and she followed suit.

"What is that?" Zhu Yuyan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Master, I'm back!" Wanwan's clear, melodious voice, like that of a lark, rang out from the air.

“That…that’s Wanwan.” Zhu Yuyan was shocked.

Soon, Dan Chenzi flapped his wings and slowly descended.

When she was more than ten meters above the ground, Wanwan broke free from her embrace and used her lightness skill to fly towards Zhu Yuyan in front of the main hall.

"Master..." Wanwan snuggled into Zhu Yuyan's arms, burying her head in her breasts.

However, Zhu Yuyan ignored Wanwan and focused her gaze on Dan Chenzi, who was not far ahead.

At this moment, the elders and disciples around them had drawn their weapons and surrounded the strange man with the odd wings, watching him warily.

"Who are you?" Zhu Yuyan asked.

"Ah, Master, he's not an enemy. His name is Dan Chenzi. He just saved me," Wanwan quickly said, raising her head.

Zhu Yuyan looked at the little girl in her arms and asked in confusion.

"Save you?"

"Hmph, I ran into that vile woman from Cihang Jingzhai in Yangzhou, that old nun Fan Qinghui. She tried to kill me the moment we met, it scared me to death." Wanwan said, then pretended to be aggrieved and squeezed out a few tears.

She knew her apprentice's temperament, so she ignored Wanwan and pushed her aside.

"Thank you for saving me, sir." Zhu Yuyan stepped forward and said to Dan Chenzi.

"Greetings, Sect Master Zhu." Dan Chenzi nodded slightly.

Zhu Yuyan examined the metal wings behind Dan Chenzi, wondering what kind of mechanism it was that could actually carry people flying.

"Swish."

Suddenly, the wings retracted.

Those around were startled and quickly backed away.

At this moment, Wanwan walked up to Zhu Yuyan and whispered something in her ear with a laugh.

When Zhu Yuyan heard Wanwan mention the He Shi Bi jade, her expression immediately changed.

"Alright, everything's fine here, you can all leave now!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuyan led Wanwan and Danchenzi back to the main hall behind her.

"You say you're a cultivator?" Zhu Yuyan asked directly as soon as she entered, her eyes filled with suspicion. She had lived for so many years and had never seen a cultivator. Although the man's act of flying down from the sky was quite magical, Zhu Yuyan suspected that it was the work of the mechanism behind Dan Chenzi. Legend has it that the Mo family's mechanical arts have such magical functions, making them capable of flying and disappearing into the earth.

“Not bad.” Dan Chenzi nodded.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuyan's figure vanished instantly, followed by a white jade palm striking towards Dan Chenzi.

Dan Chenzi did not dodge at all, letting the other's palm pass through his body.

"Huh?" Zhu Yuyan was stunned. She realized that her hand seemed to pass through a wisp of air.

Gradually, Dan Chenzi slowly disappeared from sight.

"Sect Master, there's no need to test me. It's difficult for mortals to harm me with their martial arts." At this moment, Dan Chenzi's voice came from behind.

He appeared a dozen meters behind the two of them, and then walked over step by step, with more than a dozen identical Dan Chenzi appearing behind him.

Under the surprised gazes of Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan, more than a dozen Dan Chenzi spoke at the same time.

"This is just the simplest illusion. If Sect Master Zhu wants to see real magic, I believe there will be an opportunity."

After saying that, all the dozen or so Dan Chenzi gathered into the body of the person in the middle, which was the true body.

Zhu Yuyan stared at Dan Chenzi, still harboring some doubts, but she gave up on probing him further.

What do you want to do?

“Cooperation,” Dan Chenzi said.

"How can we cooperate? What benefits will I get?"

"I need information about the He Shi Bi jade. I hope Sect Leader Zhu can help me. As for the reward..."

As he spoke, Dan Chenzi took out a small porcelain bottle from his storage bag.

“I don’t understand martial arts, but as a cultivator, I can still see that there’s something wrong with your body. There’s an energy stagnating inside you, seemingly unable to find a way out. Moreover, your meridians are severely damaged, and the fact that you’ve been consuming a lot of true energy to maintain your appearance has only accelerated the stagnation of that energy. In less than ten years, that energy will explode and cause you to die because it can’t find an outlet,” Dan Chenzi said.

"What?" Zhu Yuyan was immediately startled.

“Master…” Wanwan also showed a hint of worry from the bottom of her heart.

"Sigh..." Zhu Yuyan finally sighed.

"The energy within me is the Heavenly Demon Force Field." As she spoke, Zhu Yuyan stretched out her hand and gently patted the table beside her.

"Boom..."

The stone table shattered instantly.

"Incredible martial arts skills! They can even change the gravity of objects," Dan Chenzi exclaimed.

“I won’t hide it anymore. To cultivate the Heavenly Demon Great Art, one must be a virgin. Unfortunately, I was tempted and lost my virginity back then. Since then, the Heavenly Demon Great Art has stagnated at the seventeenth level, unable to progress any further. As a result, the energy of the Heavenly Demon Force Field within my body has become stagnant. You’re right, at most ten years. If I fight someone and the force field becomes disordered, it will accelerate the time it takes for me to explode and die,” Zhu Yuyan explained.

Wanwan blinked. She had already cultivated the Heavenly Demon Art to the twelfth level, and now, after hearing her master's words, she was actually a little afraid of this divine skill.

"This contains the Azure Lotus Blood-Replenishing Pill, which can replenish the innate qi and blood you have lost, and naturally also clear your blocked meridians, helping you to advance your cultivation technique to the eighteenth level." Dan Chenzi shook the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Zhu Yuyan immediately perked up, her eyes fixed on the porcelain vase.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhu Yuyan asked excitedly.

If she can truly break through the eighteenth level, she will surely become a Grandmaster, her lifespan will be extended, and most importantly, she will then have the confidence to settle scores with Shi Zhixuan, that heartless man.

Dan Chenzi released his grip lightly, and the porcelain bottle slowly flew towards Zhu Yuyan.

Zhu Yuyan caught the bottle, her hands trembling.

“Then, I shall take my leave.” Dan Chenzi suddenly said at this moment.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Wanwan asked quickly.

“The Xuantian Sect may find me at any time. Staying here will cause you a lot of trouble.” After saying that, Dan Chenzi took out a pearl from his pocket and threw it to Wanwan.

"If you hear any news about the He Shi Bi jade, crush it and I will come immediately."

Dan Chenzi nodded to Zhu Yuyan, then turned and walked out of the hall. Under the gaze of the master and disciple, he spread his wings and flew away.

Zhu Yuyan watched the figure disappear in a flash in the sky, put away the porcelain bottle in her hand, and said to Wanwan.

"Gather everyone, and let's go all out to find out the whereabouts of the He Shi Bi jade."

“Yes, Master,” Wanwan replied immediately, composing herself.

In the lakeside courtyard, Li Daoyi looked at the two puppets lying in the bundle, and couldn't help but smile.

"Open the panel."

Host: Li Daoyi.

Cultivation level: Late Golden Core stage.

"Magic treasures: Thirty-six Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, Ghost Seal (max), Black and White Impermanence Summoning Talisman (max), Lü Dongbin Summoning Talisman (max). High-level Puppet (Xuantian Sect), High-level Puppet (Dan Chenzi)."

"Cultivation Techniques: Chaos Profound Art (Triple Heaven), Five Elements Dao Technique (Max), Flying Sword Technique (Early Earth Rank, can be upgraded), Sword Control Technique (Early Earth Rank, can be upgraded), Cloud Riding (Early Earth Rank, can be upgraded)."

"Disciple: Yang Guo (Sixth level of Qi Refining), (Master-disciple bonus: for every major breakthrough the disciple makes, the master automatically advances by one minor level)."

Pet: Green Ox (Early Golden Core Stage)

"Mengmeng: A special existence, origin and strength unknown."

"Points/Amazing Value: 1,010,000".

"Haha, back to a million points!" Li Daoyi exclaimed happily. After exchanging for the Nascent Soul Pill, he also exchanged for other things, leaving him with less than 500,000 points. Now, his points have increased back to a million. This was undoubtedly due in no small part to the help of Dan Chenzi and the two puppets from Xuan Tianzong.

"As expected, we still need to stir things up."

"We're back."

Just then, Mengmeng's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"La la la, Sister Dragon, I bought so many delicious things!"

"Why did you sneak out to play again?" Little Dragon Girl walked out of the courtyard and scolded.

"Hehe, I'll take my sister next time," the little guy said with a grin.

Soon, Xiaolongnu walked in carrying Mengmeng, with Dongfang following behind.

When the little guy saw Li Daoyi, he rolled his eyes and winked at him.

“I just saw Dan Chenzi on the street,” Dongfang Bubai said.

"Looks like this guy came for that treasure," Li Daoyi said.

"What treasure?" Dongfang Bubai asked curiously.

"The He Shi Bi".
