Chapter 135 The Price That Must Be Paid



“Master, the glass from the South China Sea is not as good as that from other places. If Qingfeng fails this time, I hope you will give him another chance.”

Baili Yuechan thought to herself that it would not be an easy task for either her or Qingfeng to retrieve the Shennong Scripture, since no one had ever ventured into the Blood Domain Spirit River before.

"We must obtain the Shennong Scripture as soon as possible. There are many precious medicinal herbs in the Shennong Realm, as well as secrets that your master wants to know. Once Nangong Ziyan's background is exposed and the Amethyst Jade is born, those otherworldly beings who know about spirits and demons will also be eager to obtain the Shennong Scripture, especially those from the Demon Realm and the Beast Realm. We must get the Shennong Scripture before them, especially with the glass exhibition at the South China Sea Glass Palace this time. These people will be moved by the news and try to find out the whereabouts of the Shennong Scripture."

"Master, weren't the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm sealed away? How could they possibly come to the human world to cause trouble?" Baili Yuechan couldn't understand who her master was and why he knew everything.

"The Ghost Realm may never break the seal, but the Demon Realm can. Don't forget, the Spirit Demon is in the mortal realm, but he hasn't found the right opportunity to come out. Now that Nangong Ziyan has appeared, the Spirit Demon has faced even greater obstacles. He is the son of the Demon King. Do you think the Demon King can just let him go? However, it will take them a long time to break the seal. Right now, the problem to be solved is the Shennong Scripture."

"Yes, Master, I understand." Baili Yuechan had no choice but to obey; everything she had was given to her by her master.

"In two or three days, Hua Yubo will be able to build part of the ship. At that time, you can go to the South China Sea Glass Palace with the Nangong family under the pretext of attending the glass exhibition, and take the opportunity to look for Qingfeng's whereabouts."

Wuguzi had a vague feeling that Baili Qingfeng was very likely captured by the people of the South China Sea Glazed Palace. He had underestimated the people of the South China Sea Glazed Palace. Nangong Yuze was always low-key and never showed his abilities. This time, he sent Qingfeng there for two reasons: first, for the Shennong Scripture, and second, to find out how deep the waters of the South China Sea Glazed Palace really were.

"Yes, Master."

"Knock knock...!" A knocking sound came from outside the door.

Wuguzi frowned, realizing who it was.

"Come in?"

Baili Yuechan looked up and saw that the person who came was actually Dongfang Yifei. Baili Yuechan angrily turned her face away, not wanting to see his ambiguous smile. For women like them, once they gave their bodies to a man, even if they didn't love him, they would still want to follow him wholeheartedly. But she didn't have that kind of thought for Dongfang Yifei, because she already had a man she loved in her heart. One day, she would wash away the shame on Dongfang Yifei with blood.

"Imperial Preceptor, Princess, you didn't even invite me when you returned. What are you two plotting?"

With a smile on his face, Dongfang Yifei sat down next to Baili Yuechan without any ceremony, ignoring Baili Yuechan's angry face.

"Young Master Dongfang is joking. This Master only wanted to have a chat with Chan'er. What could we possibly be plotting? Young Master Dongfang is now our ally. Even if we were to plot something, Young Master Dongfang would need to be present."

"I thought the Imperial Advisor had something he didn't want Yifei to know?"

Dongfang Yifei smiled meaningfully. After several conversations with this Wuguzi, he realized that he was a cunning and shrewd old man. He seemed to be smiling and welcoming, but in reality, he was very calculating and spoke in a profound and unpredictable way. He had to be extremely careful when cooperating with him.

"Young Master Dongfang, your arrival is timely. This humble advisor was just looking for you."

Wu Gu Zi smiled. Perhaps it would be faster to ask Dongfang Yi Fei directly about some things.

"Please give your orders, Imperial Advisor."

"Does Young Master Dongfang know the background of Madam Nangong?"

"Sima Jiaorong?" Dongfang Yifei looked at Wuguzi with a questioning expression. "Why would the Imperial Advisor be interested in her?"

“Her cultivation level is different from that of the Four Continents and the Qihe Dynasty. I have never seen such a strange, fast and ruthless cultivation level before. Therefore, I guess that Sima Jiaorong does not belong to the Four Continents or the Qihe Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yifei glanced at Wuguzi and thought to himself, "Sima Jiaorong doesn't seem to have anything special about her!" But thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had never seen Sima Jiaorong make a move before.

"She is an orphan. My mother and she are friends. They hit it off immediately. The Nangong family and the Dongfang family became close friends because of their relationship. However, I have never heard of her background. But the Grand Preceptor's words are strange. Could it be that in addition to the four continents and the Qihe Dynasty, there are other continents that we do not know about?"

Dongfang Yifei squinted at Wuguzi. After several encounters with him, he felt that Wuguzi was even more mysterious. He seemed to know everything, especially about Nangong Ziyan. He was very concerned about her. Could it be that Nangong Ziyan had some secrets that he did not know?

Wugu Zi gave a faint, cold smile and said casually, "How could there only be four continents in this world? No, there should be five continents and the Qihe Dynasty. There are many continents that we can't reach. Those places are more mysterious than we imagine."

"Then the Imperial Preceptor doesn't belong to the Five Continents or the Qihe Dynasty either?"

Although he knew he wouldn't tell the truth, he still wanted to ask.

"How can you be so sure, Young Master Dongfang?"

Wuguzi chuckled as he looked at Dongfang Yifei. Even if he wasn't, they still couldn't guess where he came from. They were just a bunch of greenhorns, yet they dared to try and figure him out. They were really overestimating themselves.

"You flatter me, Imperial Advisor. In my humble opinion, it's just that I feel you seem to know everything." Dongfang Yifei wouldn't be foolish enough to make wild guesses. There are no secrets that last forever; one day, the truth will be revealed.
