Thinking about Feng Xue'er, Yun Che suddenly fell silent. It turned out that she was not the one who did not try to stop him, but she was in a coma and had no way to stop him… This made him feel relieved somewhere in his heart, but, while facing the Phoenix Divine Sect, how should he face Feng Xue'er who had just woken up?
Zi Ji did not speak either, but smiled at Yun Che, his eyes calm but firm, as if to penetrate Yun Che's heart and soul. At this time, Yun Che raised his head slightly, his face and eyes became calm: "Senior Zi, I am visiting your Chamber of Commerce again, and I have several important matters to attend to. I wonder if Senior Zi still remembers the 'Netherworld Udumbara Flower' that I asked you about three years ago?"
"Oh? Are you still looking for it?" Zi Ji shook his head slowly: "Over the years, I have occasionally inquired about whether the Netherworld Udumbara Flower still exists in this world, but unfortunately, there are very few people who even know about this flower, let alone have seen it. Over the years, with the increasing number of humans in the Profound Sky Continent, the Yang energy of the entire continent has far outweighed the Yin energy. The Netherworld Udumbara Flower, which is extremely Yin, evil, and wicked, should have been completely extinct in the Profound Sky Continent thousands of years ago. And as time goes by, unless a catastrophe strikes, the Yang energy of the Profound Sky Continent will only become stronger and stronger. In other words, the extinct Netherworld Udumbara Flower will never appear again in the future."
"At least that's the case in the Profound Sky Continent."
Last time, Zi Ji’s answer was that the Netherworld Udumbara Flower had already become extinct, and it would not appear again. This time, the answer was still the same… and even more thorough. A flash of disappointment flashed across Yun Che’s face, but he immediately asked, “I remember that Senior Zi said last time that the last Netherworld Udumbara Flower in the Profound Sky Continent was recorded 1,300 years ago. So… Senior Zi, can you tell me where the last Netherworld Udumbara Flower grew 1,300 years ago?”
Yun Che asked this question because he obviously wanted to go to the place where the last Netherworld Udumbara flower was recorded to have grown. Since the Netherworld Udumbara flower could grow there, it meant that it was an extremely evil place. Although more than a thousand years had passed, there might still be a possibility that the environment there had not changed much.
Of course, this possibility should be very small. After all, 1,300 years is not a short period in the long river of history. The Blue Wind Imperial Family has only a history of a thousand years. The reason why he asked was that he didn't want to give up any hope and possibility. But, what surprised him was that when he finished saying this, he saw Zi Ji's face obviously stiffened, and even the casual smile he had always maintained disappeared from his face.
"...I can't tell you." Zi Ji shook his head slightly and said slowly.
Yun Che frowned at Zi Ji’s reaction. He pressed his hand on the stone table and said, “Okay! Then I will buy this information from Senior Zi! Senior Zi, you only need to tell me the name of the place and where it is! You can name any price... as long as I can afford it!”
"No!" Zi Ji still shook his head: "I can't tell you the answer to this matter, nor can I sell it to you as news."
“Why? Could it be that there is some special secret behind that place?” Yun Che asked aggressively.
Zi Ji closed his eyes slightly and said, "Because that place is a 'secret place'. Since it is a 'secret place', let alone entering it, even the people who know about it are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the whole world... At least no one in the Seven Profound Sky Countries, including the Phoenix Divine Sect, knows about it. Moreover, there will not be any Netherworld Udumbara Flowers in that 'secret place' now."
The "secret place" that Zi Ji mentioned was unknown even to the Phoenix Divine Sect, so it must be an absolutely extraordinary existence. Yun Che had never expected that when he asked Netherworld Udumbara Flower with a slim hope, he would actually lead to a "secret place" that sounded extremely mysterious... and even vaguely weird.
Judging from Zi Ji’s expression, he would definitely not tell the truth no matter how much he asked. Yun Che frowned, but he did not waste his energy to continue asking. He nodded calmly and said, “I see… Since it is such a ‘secret place’, then this junior should not ask about it without permission.”
However, he remembered Zi Ji's previous words firmly in his heart.
"So, three years ago, I was asked to find Chu Yuechan...Does Senior Zi have any news?"
Yun Che's words were very calm, but the five fingers that he uncontrollably clenched while he was speaking showed that his heart was definitely not as calm as it appeared on the surface. Three years to find Chu Yuechan, who had extremely obvious appearance features... He believed that with the intelligence network of the Black Moon Merchants covering Tianxuan, there should be news no matter what. Even if it was just a trace.
“Alas…” But just as Yun Che finished speaking, he heard Zi Ji’s faint sigh, which made his heart sink instantly.
"Three years ago, not long after you entrusted me, Black Moon, to find Chu Yuechan, you were buried in the Ancient Mysterious Ark. At that time, everyone thought you were dead, so Black Moon did not continue the search for Chu Yuechan. Half a year later, the Supreme Saint Domain's Gu Cang Zhenren suddenly arrived and entrusted me to find Chu Yuechan... Finding Chu Yuechan is secondary, but there is a high possibility that your descendants are around her. Because his disciple Xia Yuanba was filled with anger and hatred for your death, and he kept practicing in this state of mind, it was very easy to go astray. After knowing all your past, Gu Cang hoped to find your descendants to resolve Xia Yuanba's anger and resentment. Therefore, I personally mobilized the Black Moon Intelligence Network to find Chu Yuechan's location, and the search range directly covered the Seven Profound Heavenly Kingdoms."
“What’s the result? Did you find it?” Yun Che asked while holding his breath.
Zi Ji looked at him deeply and said, "I have been friends with Master Gu Cang for hundreds of years and have received many favors from him. This is the first time he has entrusted me with a task, so I will naturally spare no effort. However, I have used all the intelligence power of Black Moon, covering the seven Tianxuan countries including Shenhuang, for a full ten months, but have gained nothing. Therefore, the biggest possibility... is that she is dead."
“What did you say!!” Yun Che stood up suddenly. With a loud bang, the stone table under his palm broke into a crack more than a foot long. His originally calm expression turned hideous, and his eyes were as red as blood: “You said she… died!?”
“I know much more about the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence than you do. Chu Yuechan should have been a very easy person to find, but no trace of her could be found no matter what… Alas, this is indeed the worst, but also the most likely, or even the only possible outcome.” Zi Ji sighed.
“You are talking nonsense!!” Yun Che’s pupils widened, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, firmly grasped Zi Ji’s collar, and pulled him up from the stone chair: “You said she was dead!? What basis do you have to say she was dead!? Do you know who Chu Yuechan is! She is my Yun Che’s woman, the leader of the Seven Ice Cloud Fairies, and the most beautiful fairy in Cangfeng Country! No matter who sees her, they will never forget her for the rest of their lives! Although she has abolished her own profound skills, her profound strength is still there. In Cangfeng Country, no one has been able to kill her!! What basis do you have to say she is dead!”
“Mr. Yun… Young Master Yun!” Yun Che’s actions made the three girls in colorful clothes pale. Zi Ji was such a high-ranking person that even Feng Hengkong had to perform the junior’s etiquette in a panic when he saw him. How could anyone dare to grab his collar so roughly… and on the territory of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce?
Zi Ji had lived for nearly a thousand years, and there were only a few people who dared to speak loudly to him. No one had ever dared to treat him like this. But his face remained calm, without any anger. On the contrary, after a brief moment of surprise, he actually felt a little more admiration and praise in his heart... The higher the attainment of a mysterious practitioner in the way of the Mysterious Dao, the more arrogant and indifferent his emotions would be, especially for women. Not to mention the Overlord and Emperor who looked down upon the world, even the throne that dominated one side would only regard them as playthings that could be had as much as one wanted. Even if he cherished a woman very much, it could never be compared with the practice of the Mysterious Dao.
But the young man in front of him, whose eyes were so deep that he could hardly see through him even when he was close to him, was so out of control because of the news of a woman's death.
"With Chu Yuechan's profound strength, it is indeed difficult for her to meet an opponent in Blue Wind Country. However, when Black Moon began to look for Chu Yuechan, the Divine Phoenix had already invaded Blue Wind for several months. Blue Wind Country was already in chaos, disasters were everywhere, and countless people died. Every Divine Phoenix team had high-level thrones and even Overlords. Chu Yuechan was definitely not her opponent. If she encountered the Divine Phoenix Army, she would not even have the strength to escape. Black Moon had been searching for so long but had found nothing. The only possibility that all the branches could think of was that during those few months..."
“Shut up!!”
Boom! !
The stone table exploded, and Zi Ji was pushed back a few steps. Yun Che clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling, his eyes were as red as a bloody wolf. He pointed at Zi Ji and roared, "What a Black Moon Merchant! It's obviously your own incompetence that you can't find my little fairy, but you lied and cursed her to death... I tell you, even if all the people in your Black Moon Merchant are dead, she won't lose a single hair!!"
“Ah…” Yun Che gasped heavily, and his voice suddenly became low: “What a shitty Black Moon Merchant Guild, a bunch of incompetent people who only seek fame, and even claim to have thousands of years of heritage, but can’t even find a single person… It’s such a waste of my time and feelings!!”
Amidst the angry curses, Yun Che angrily threw his hands away and turned to leave.
It has been thousands of years since the Black Moon Merchant Guild became famous in Tianxuan. During these thousands of years, no one has ever dared to act wildly on the territory of the Black Moon Merchant Guild, and no one has ever dared to disrespect the people of the Black Moon Merchant Guild. On the contrary, the higher the level of the people, the more they respect the Black Moon Merchant Guild.
As for someone like Yun Che, who cursed at Zi Ji in the Black Moon Merchant Guild... or the headquarters... or the seventh floor of the headquarters, he was definitely the first person in history.
Zi Ji's brows moved, tightened slightly, and then relaxed. He was still not angry, but smiled bitterly, and then said to the three girls who were already frightened and didn't know what to do: "Hey, go and bring him back."
The three girls were startled at the same time, and then flew up one after another, chasing Yun Che's side like three butterflies flying through flowers. One of them stood in front of Yun Che, and the other two held one of Yun Che's arms, "Master Yun, please calm down. Mr. Zi only told us the results of his investigation truthfully, and he definitely did not mean to curse... Perhaps, there is indeed an oversight in the intelligence network. We three sisters apologize to Master Yun on behalf of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, and only ask that you calm down."
If Yun Che took another step forward, he would have bumped into the chest of the blue-clothed girl. He stopped there, raised his head, closed his eyes, and his chest rose and fell violently for several times before finally calming down a little bit... He would always curse loudly in this Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, and there was no lack of insults in his words. If it were someone else, they would probably have died here just for humiliating the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce. However, he received such "favorable treatment". He knew very well that the main reason was his non-existent "mysterious master".
He turned around and faced Zi Ji, his expression calm as before: "Senior Zi, I can't control my emotions for a moment, and my words and actions are rude. I hope you can forgive me."
“Don’t mind it.” Zi Ji shook his head and smiled. He raised his arm, and the stone table in front of him that was smashed by Yun Che disappeared. In its place was an identical intact stone table: “If you don’t mind, accompany me for a few more drinks.”
