Chapter 84 Shen Funing is a despicable woman
Before leaving, Zheng Caiye, Bai Yuchen's steward Qi Ye, reminded Xiao Dan again, "Be sure to wait for me to come out."
Xiao Dan nodded heavily.
Bai Yuchen led him up the mountain and said sarcastically, "You're not really attracted to that village girl, are you? You're so obsessed with her."
Qi Ye said: "Right Protector, even you cannot insult Xiao Dan like this."
Bai Yuchen snorted coldly, "If that girl knew you were from the Demon Realm, she would definitely not be with you. The reputation of our Demon Realm has long been ruined by the Cultivation Realm. In fact, they are a group of hypocritical hypocrites."
Qi Ye knew that the Right Protector had always hated the world of cultivation, so he did not respond.
When they reached the top of the mountain, many disciples from the demon world were already digging a passage into the secret realm.
Their demon world is not as rule-bound as the cultivation world, where one has to climb up from the bottom of the mountain. They only want the Soul Gathering Lamp, but Bai Yuchen knows Chen Funing, and she must have placed a treasure like this in a high place.
After digging for half a day, one of the disciples shouted, "Sir, there is a roof structure underneath."
Bai Yuchen walked over to take a look and said, "Go ahead, dig a hole and we'll go straight down."
Qi Ye asked: "Will there be any danger?"
Bai Yuchen said confidently: "Don't worry, I have the structural diagram of her secret realm here."
Qi Ye's eyes widened in surprise, "How come you have something like this?"
Bai Yuchen snorted coldly, "Chen Funing is just an ungrateful villain. Her secret realm was designed for her by the Evil God. I found the blueprint from that year."
"The Evil God designed a secret realm for her?" Qi Ye asked in disbelief, "What is the relationship between the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord?"
"What's the relationship?" Bai Yuchen thought about it and said with great disgust, "The Demon Lord eliminated the biggest threat that she couldn't kill and bore the infamy for her, but she was ungrateful and used this opportunity to seal the Demon Lord and fulfill her own good reputation."
"So she is such a despicable person." Qi Ye said in disbelief.
"So, even God couldn't stand it anymore and sent down thunderbolts to punish her. A woman like her deserves death."
While the two were talking, the disciple had already chiseled a large hole in the roof, and rocks kept falling into the ninth floor, raising a lot of dust.
Bai Yuchen took the lead into the ninth level of the secret realm, followed closely by Qi Ye, and the rest of the disciples followed.
She ordered her disciples to search for the whereabouts of the Soul Gathering Lamp, but all the disciples told her that they had not found it.
She then ordered people to blast open the downward stairs and enter the eighth floor.
——
Wang Minglu and three disciples from the Alchemy Peak saw a group of people coming down from above. He couldn't even tell the level of one of them. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you? Why are you coming down from above?"
The disciples from the demon world quickly surrounded the four of them.
Bai Yuchen tilted his head and smiled. He suddenly moved and appeared in front of a cultivator from the Alchemy Peak. He suddenly clamped his neck, lifted him up and asked, "It doesn't matter who I am. I just don't know if any of you have ever seen a palace lantern?"
Wang Minglu was shocked. This woman’s cultivation was even more powerful than his. They were definitely from the demon world!
He hurriedly said, "Let's talk it over. Let's put him down first."
The monk's feet left the ground, and his face turned purple because he couldn't breathe. He flapped his legs desperately, but he couldn't break free from Bai Yuchen's shackles.
Wang Minglu saw that she was going to kill someone, and quickly said, "We have never seen any palace lanterns."
Bai Yuchen tightened his grip, "If you don't tell the truth, he will die."
"We really don't have it. If you don't believe me, search our storage bags!" said another monk.
"Okay, open your storage bag."
The struggle of the cultivator in Bai Yuchen's hand became weaker and weaker. Wang Minglu and others hurriedly opened the storage bag, and indeed there was no palace lantern.
She then threw the person in her hand to the ground, "You really haven't seen it before?"
“Never seen it!”
"That's strange, it should be in this secret realm." Bai Yuchen muttered softly.
Wang Minglu suddenly attacked while she was thinking and stabbed her with a sword. Bai Yuchen suddenly dodged, grabbed his arm and bent it in the opposite direction lightly. With a snap, Wang Minglu's wrist was dislocated and the sword in his hand immediately fell off.
"But it's really courageous of you to challenge me in your early Mahayana stage."
Bai Yuchen suddenly thought of the Song family she met in the nearby mountain village. Her people had been guarding the exit at the top of the mountain, and she was sure that no one had come out. And the people in front of her had never seen the Soul Gathering Lamp, so the Soul Gathering Lamp could only be in the hands of that member of the Song family.
The stairs below suddenly opened and seven monks came up.
Bai Yuchen smiled. Whoever he thought of would come.
——
Fu Ning was not too surprised to see Bai Yuchen. They came here for the Soul Gathering Lamp and would meet him sooner or later. He just didn't expect that they were already on the eighth floor.
Behind her, Wang Minglu was holding his right wrist with a painful look on his face. Fu Ning rushed over to look at his hand. For an alchemist, no matter where on the hand, he must not get injured.
Bai Yuchen's eyes swept across Fu Ning, and finally looked at Song Jinghe, "Mr. Song, long time no see, your leg has recovered."
Song Jinghe said calmly: "Long time no see."
Bai Yuchen walked up to him and said, "Actually, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but now it seems that what I want is in your hands. If you give it to me obediently, you will be safe. If you don't want to give it to me, you will all die."
"Aren't you afraid of offending the people from the Twelve Immortal Mountains this time?" Song Jinghe asked.
Bai Yuchen lifted his chin, leaned closer and said, "I didn't expect you to take my words so seriously. At that time, I wasn't sure if you had what I wanted, so I naturally thought less trouble was better than more trouble. Now that I'm sure you have the thing, I'll get it at all costs."
Song Jinghe took a few steps back and distanced himself from her, then asked, "What on earth is that?"
"A palace lantern."
Shen Qingning immediately looked at Song Jinghe with wide eyes. This thing was really in his hand, but what did this strange woman want that palace lantern for?
Song Jinghe looked at Fu Ning. He didn't know whether he could give the palace lantern to this woman.
Fu Ning, however, looked at Wang Minglu's wrist and treated him, not even willing to glance at himself.
In fact, Fu Ning was talking to the system, "Who has the Soul Gathering Lamp now?"
The system replied: "It has returned to the villain's hands again."
"Oh." Fu Ning said, "Then he should give it to Bai Yuchen, after all, he has given it to Chen Qingning."
Then she heard Song Jinghe say, "I don't have anything like that."
Bai Yuchen smiled and grabbed Song Jinghe's neck like he did to the people from Alchemy Peak. Before the others could react, he lifted him off the ground and said, "Think about it carefully."
Song Jinghe grabbed her hand and couldn't breathe at all. He still shook his head and said, "No."
Fu Ning turned his head away, not understanding why he didn't tell the truth. The soul-gathering lamp obviously had no meaning to him.
Just as she was about to rush to Bai Yuchen, Shen Qingning shouted, "Stop! I've seen the palace lantern you mentioned."
Bai Yuchen immediately left Song Jinghe behind and looked at Shen Qingning, “Where is the palace lantern?”
Yan Qu protected Shen Qingning, but Shen Qingning walked up to Bai Yuchen and said, “In the Twelve Immortal Mountains.”
Bai Yuchen said: "Okay, I'll wait for you here and send the palace lantern over within three days."
Fu Ning quickly rushed towards Song Jinghe and picked up his upper body. Seeing the purple hand mark on his neck, he couldn't help but feel angry. Bai Yuchen was really cruel.
She turned her head and said, "The palace lantern is not with her. She can't get it out."
Bai Yuchen laughed angrily, "Miss Xiaoshuang, you're not going to say that the palace lantern is with you, are you?"
She drew out her sword in a flash and said sternly, "You are teasing me, right? Do you really think I dare not kill anyone from the Twelve Immortal Mountains?"
Fu Ning said, "The palace lantern is in Song Jinghe's hands. He will give it to you in three days."
Song Jinghe looked at Fu Ning with an unclear expression on his face.
Bai Yuchen said, "I can no longer trust you."
She lifted Song Jinghe's chin with her sword and said, "You go get the palace lanterns, and the others stay here. If I don't see anything after three days, I will kill them all."
Song Jinghe looked at Fu Ning and still didn't speak.
Fu Ning really couldn't understand what he was thinking and why he was unwilling to give the Soul Gathering Lamp to Bai Yuchen, so he answered for him: "Okay, he will go get it for you."
Bai Yuchen's sword was still on Song Jinghe's chin. Fu Ning was displeased and said, "You don't have to be like this. I have also seen the palace lantern you mentioned. It is just a fancy workmanship thing with no other use. I will give it to you if you want it."
Bai Yuchen smiled, but she was just a girl from the mountains. Even though she had been to the Twelve Immortal Mountains, her vision was still so shallow. The Soul Gathering Lamp was a useless thing in her eyes.
"He was unwilling to give it to me just now. You don't want it, but others do."
Fu Ning looked at Song Jinghe, and seeing the questioning look in his eyes, he suddenly understood. He was angry with him for giving the palace lantern to Shen Qingning, so was he afraid that he would be angry again?
Is her anger as important as his life?
Fu Ning immediately raised his eyebrows and said to him, "I know you want to use that thing as my birthday gift, but no matter what, things are not as valuable as life. Since Miss Yuchen wants it, I will give it to her. You can find me a new gift."
Song Jinghe was relieved, "Okay."
Bai Yuchen felt uncomfortable after hearing this. What did she mean by giving it to him? This little girl was young but she spoke so arrogantly. But she raised the corner of her mouth playfully. She could see that Fu Ning's poisoning symptoms were becoming more and more serious, and he would die of the poison soon.
She smiled and said, “Miss Xiaoshuang, have you ever thought that maybe in Mr. Song’s heart, you are not that important?”
Song Jinghe's expression suddenly changed, but Fu Ning turned around and said to her, "It's not up to you to decide whether it's important or not."
"I have no say, but some things don't cease to exist if I don't say them."
Song Jinghe suddenly grasped Bai Yuchen's sword, and blood flowed from his palm.
He slowly removed Bai Yuchen's sword from his neck and said gloomily, "Shut up."
This look made Bai Yuchen shrink back and she unconsciously put down the sword in her hand. Then she realized that she was actually frightened by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?
Song Zhizhi immediately came over and looked at the wound on Song Jinghe's hand with heartache.
Fu Ning took out gauze to bandage him and said to Song Jinghe, "It's okay, just let her talk. I won't believe anything she says."
Song Jinghe pursed his lips, feeling despair in his heart. If Bai Yuchen told him about the death pill, his relationship with Xiaoshuang would be completely over.
Bai Yuchen forced a smile on his face and said to Song Jinghe, "It's really ironic that you actually fell in love with her."
She looked at Fu Ning, showing rare mercy, so she let her die without knowing anything.
After Fu Ning bandaged Song Jinghe's wound, Bai Yuchen motioned for him to go up. Fu Ning held his hand and said, "Can we go up one floor? I want to see him off."
"It's not a life-and-death separation, why should I send it off?" Bai Yuchen said.
Fu Ning crossed his arms and looked at her with contempt, "You don't understand, a day without seeing you feels like a long time."
Song Zhizhi said: "I want to go up and see you off, too."
Bai Yuchen said: "Don't play that trick on me, only he can go up."
Fu Ning glanced at the ninth floor and said, "There are so many of you and there are only ten of us. What can we do if we go up together? Are you afraid that we will run away?"
Su Zimei also muttered, "That's right, the lighting up there is good. If you want us to stay for three days, we have to stay comfortably."
Qi Ye felt that what they said made sense. The ninth floor was indeed more spacious than the eighth floor. They brought more disciples this time, as many as thirty people. They also had people in the secret realm on the top of the mountain. They were not afraid that these people would run away, so they discussed it with Bai Yuchen.
Bai Yuchen claimed that she knew this secret place better than anyone else. It was impossible for this group of people to slip away in front of her eyes, so she said, "Go up if you want, but you better behave yourself."
Fu Ning waved to Wang Minglu and the others, "Master Minglu, let's go to the ninth floor to rest together."
Everyone went up the stairs. Fu Ning pulled Song Jinghe and stood in the middle of the ninth floor, while the others gathered around.
Seeing that everyone was almost in position, Fu Ning hugged Song Jinghe.
Bai Yuchen only felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy in the center of the ninth floor, and then the group of people from the Twelve Immortal Mountains all disappeared!
Several disciples from the demon world also disappeared along with them.
——
Fu Ning let go of Song Jinghe, looked at the completely different scene around him, and smiled triumphantly.
The system asked: "Boss, where is this?"
Fu Ning said: "This is the tenth level of my secret realm."
