Therefore, everyone could only watch helplessly as Lu Fuyue left on the spot, and dared not utter a word to stop her.
The emperor didn't say anything, so it wasn't their place to speak.
However, what Lu Fuyue didn't know was that after she left, Yun Zhantian looked at her back and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
As long as the person doesn't die at his hands, then the sect behind her can't blame him.
Today, he removed this obstacle for his daughter!
After Lu Fuyue left, Nan Tingyu wanted to force Yun Luoxue and Nan Chuli into marriage, but Nan Chuli refused to back down.
"Father, I only want to cultivate diligently and do not wish to marry."
Enraged, Nan Tingyu slapped Nan Chuli on the spot.
"absurd!"
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Nan Chuli's mouth. He slowly raised his head and looked at Nan Tingyu, "Father...Father Emperor, thank you for granting my request."
After saying that, he collapsed to the ground.
Nan Ling'er's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, "Royal brother!"
She rushed over, helped Nan Chuli up, and then had him carried back to the East Palace. She also invited Alchemist Lin, who managed to save his life.
The banquet ended unhappily.
Upon seeing this, Yun Luoxue looked at Nan Chuli with more resentment. In order not to marry her, he actually dared to openly defy the emperor.
Nan Chuli, you're ruthless!
...
Just as Lu Fuyue was about to leave the palace, a strange voice suddenly rang out.
"You want to know the whereabouts of that thing, right? If so, then come with us."
As soon as she finished speaking, two Golden Core cultivators, completely shrouded in black cloaks, blocked Lu Fuyue's path, one in front and one behind.
Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought to herself that things were not good. If there was only one Golden Core cultivator, she might be able to escape even if she tried her best, but with two Golden Core cultivators, she would be almost powerless to fight back.
The fact that a Golden Core cultivator could appear out of nowhere in the palace naturally indicates that someone had the power to indulge him.
Could it be... Nan Tingyu, or perhaps Yun Zhantian?
Could the thing they mentioned be the string she's been looking for?
***
Soon, Lu Fuyue was forcibly taken to the foot of a mountain by the two men, and then pushed into the woods.
As soon as Lu Fuyue stepped onto the edge of the mountain range, she was pulled in by a cold force. In addition, she seemed to sense another pulling force, as if it was calling her.
That's why she didn't resist.
Perhaps the water strings really are here.
At this moment, one of the men in black robes removed his mask, revealing himself to be Yun Zhantian.
He watched as Lu Fuyue's figure was gradually swept away by the force on Yunshan Mountain, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
This place is the back mountain of the royal palace, and also the site of the royal ancestral temple, used to test the crown princes of the Southern Ling Kingdom throughout history.
To survive safely inside, one needs the power of royal blood; otherwise, the creatures inside won't care about anyone other than royalty.
So even if the sect behind Lu Fuyue really comes looking for her, it won't be anyone's fault, since she accidentally trespassed on someone else's ancestral temple.
...
Soon, Lu Fuyue fell into a cold, dark cave. The place was completely dark and damp.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly, not daring to be careless. So she activated her cultivation technique, and a wisp of red lotus karmic fire appeared out of thin air in her hand. It wasn't very bright, but it was enough for her to see the surrounding scenery.
If it's too bright, it might actually pose a potential danger.
Lu Fuyue kept walking forward in the direction the wind was blowing; the place with the wind might be the exit.
However, just as she saw a glimmer of light, a giant tail carrying sharp wind blades slammed into Lu Fuyue's body from behind.
Lu Fuyue sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to dodge, but the thing was too fast, and the cave was too narrow. She couldn't dodge in time and was slammed against the stone wall by the giant tail.
Lu Fuyue's expression changed drastically. Oh no, this thing is quite powerful.
Just as that thing was about to attack Lu Fuyue again, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Since she couldn't avoid it, she would face it head-on.
So Lu Fuyue summoned the Weak Water Zither and pressed down hard on the strings with two fingers.
Yin and Yang, life and death, all things perish, the sound of the Weak Water, be annihilated!
Instantly, countless musical notes seemed to take on a tangible form, stirring up waves of wind and transforming into a myriad of musical intents that hurtled towards the venomous lizard demon.
The venomous lizard demon sensed the danger and vanished from its spot.
Lu Fuyue stopped what she was doing, her vigilance growing stronger.
She stood there holding her zither, looking around, because the lizard demon hadn't gone far and was still hiding beside her, waiting for its chance to strike.
As time passed, Lu Fuyue's vigilance did not completely subside; instead, it grew even stronger.
After all, that was a lizard demon at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, extremely skilled in disguise and killing.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold emanated from beneath Lu Fuyue's feet, and Lu Fuyue quickly leaped away to avoid it.
With a flick of its tail, the lizard demon immediately wrapped its tail around one of her ankles.
Lu Fuyue knew something was wrong. She quickly adjusted her body to face the lizard demon, then transformed the zither in her hand into a large sword and slashed fiercely at its tail.
As the knife fell, blood splattered everywhere. The lizard demon roared in pain and frantically tried to smash Lu Fuyue against the stone wall, but Lu Fuyue added a few strands of red lotus karmic fire to his wound.
In an instant, the air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat, and the next second, the entire three-meter-long tail had almost become roasted meat.
The lizard demon flew into a rage, wildly swinging its massive tail and slamming it against the surrounding stone walls.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly. Taking the opportunity, she broke free from the lizard demon's tail, then flew into the air and began to play her zither.
The Beast Taming Technique of the Nine Heavens!
As the music began, the lizard demon's eyes began to glaze over.
Lu Fuyue's spiritual energy seeped into its sea of consciousness little by little through the sound of the zither, and then tried to control its soul, and the lizard demon calmed down.
However, Lu Fuyue was in a very bad mood. She was already weaker than the lizard demon. If she hadn't been able to fight beyond her level, the lizard demon, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, would probably have died as soon as it appeared.
Because of the depletion of spiritual energy, her meridians and dantian are now throbbing with pain, but she is still just a little short of completely taming the lizard demon.
Suddenly she remembered the Jade Immortal Fruit in her space that could replenish spiritual energy, so she continued playing the zither with one hand while taking out a Jade Immortal Fruit from her space with the other and eating it.
Sure enough, within a short time, her depleted spiritual energy was restored, and her complexion improved considerably.
After resolving the problem of spiritual energy depletion, Lu Fuyue focused her attention on the Beast Taming Melody.
Beast taming emphasizes controlling the soul of a demon beast with the sound of a zither, and she still lacks a little bit of practical experience to reach that level.
Today is a great opportunity for practical experience.
Lu Fuyue slowly closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and used her divine sense to feel and control the main direction of the zither music, gradually covering the lizard demon's sea of consciousness.
Then, the sound of the zither was used to weave a giant net, which suddenly captured its soul. The giant net tightened abruptly the next second, continuously compressing, absorbing, and refining the lizard demon's soul.
