Chapter 97 That makes things easier.
at the same time.
The palace where Tianyanzong stayed.
Yun Wan'er's knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white.
Those ignorant cultivators outside are not only blind, but their minds are probably also possessed by demons. They can't stop talking about the Six Jade Platforms of the Cloud Platform, as noisy as a swarm of flies buzzing around rotting flesh.
Ha, that's all the ambition he's got.
A fire ignited within her, and her fingertips unconsciously caressed the smooth surface of the black jade marrow, a strange restlessness coursing through her body.
Ever since leaving Riftwind Valley, this thing has been like a dead object, no longer able to help her regulate the increasingly stagnant spiritual energy within her body.
Could it be... that to make this thing work, one must use a fellow disciple...?
The thought had barely formed when a chill suddenly seeped into the room.
The windows were tightly closed, and the curtains remained still, yet a wisp of thick, inky black mist silently slipped in through the window crack and instantly coalesced in front of her.
There is no sorrow in the night.
Yun Wan'er's heart clenched, and her face instantly turned deathly pale. She subconsciously clenched the black jade marrow: "Brother Wushang? You, how dare you... Elder Qingxuan is not here, but there are Nascent Soul experts everywhere in Liuyunchuan now, are you crazy?!"
On Ye Wushang's overly cold face, a layer of gentle warmth was now floating. He raised his hand slightly, signaling her to be quiet, and deliberately made his voice low and soft: "Wan'er, don't panic."
His gaze swept over the black jade marrow that Yun Wan'er was clutching tightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "With this, even if an Immortal Emperor were to come in person, he would not be able to easily detect my aura. Those trash from Xuling Prefecture are not worth mentioning."
Yun Wan'er's tense nerves did not completely relax because of these words; she could not shake off the chilling feeling brought by the black mist.
She suppressed the tremor in her throat and quickly tried to cover it up, forcing a pitiful expression: "Brother Wushang, you've misunderstood, Wan'er... I was just afraid those stubborn old men who can't distinguish right from wrong would make things difficult for you. You know, they're the least tolerant..."
"I see."
Ye Wushang interrupted her, a barely perceptible hint of mockery flashing across his deep eyes.
His expression remained one of concern, and he even took a small step forward, bringing with him an even stronger aura of coldness. "But Wan'er, you seem... a little unhappy?"
These words were like a key, instantly unlocking the shackles that had accumulated countless resentments in Yun Wan'er's heart.
Gu Xuanchen's cold and impatient "Stop fooling around," Elder Qingxuan's "cautious" look with hidden reproach before leaving, Shen Zhaozhao's face that made her grit her teeth in hatred flashed before her eyes again and again, and there was also the uproar outside about the "Six Jades"...
On what grounds?
Why is she being left out like a joke?
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears from the hurt and resentment, her voice trembling with suppressed sobs, yet she tried her best to maintain her composure.
"Brother Wushang... Wan'er just feels wronged."
"Senior Brother Gu... he squandered a whole thousand top-grade spirit stones for some inexplicable thing, which is the entire sect's resource! But what about Elder Qingxuan? He didn't even punish him much, and even personally went to the mine to make up for it..."
She paused, as if finding it difficult to speak, and filled with endless disappointment: "And those people outside... I don't know what's bewitching them, they've created this 'Six Jades of Yuntai,' which are all... vulgar and worthless scum, yet they're attracting everyone's admiration..."
"Wan'er thought they were being truly absurd, arguing over such things and neglecting their cultivation..."
Ye Wushang listened quietly, inwardly sneering repeatedly.
Wan'er, didn't you bring all this on yourself?
He tried to curry favor with Gu Xuanchen, but his greed was insatiable. Now he has the nerve to play the victim here.
However, he timely revealed a perfectly timed expression of "shock" and "indignation".
"Is this really true?"
Ye Wushang's voice seemed to be mixed with ice shards, carrying a deliberately suppressed "anger": "Wan'er, your words have reminded this young master. Gu Xuanchen acted so recklessly, using the sect's foundation, and your Elder Qingxuan just let it go so easily?"
"High cultivation level is really good, Wan'er. To be honest, your talent and spiritual roots are not necessarily inferior to Gu Xuanchen's."
He let out a short, cold laugh: "If those thousand top-grade spirit stones had been used on you to help you break through your bottleneck and condense your golden core... given time, the rewards you would bring to the Heavenly Evolution Sect would far surpass Gu Xuanchen's empty reputation."
Yun Wan'er froze completely.
She... had never thought of it that way.
But Ye Wushang's words precisely revealed another possibility—yes...why?
Why should the entire sect have to clean up the mess that Gu Xuanchen made?
Why is it that after his extravagant spending, he can act as if nothing happened, and even be praised as one of the "Six Jades" by those mediocre people?
And she, Yun Wan'er, clearly did nothing wrong, yet she has to endure being neglected here?
Ye Wushang saw every subtle change on her face, and his seductive smile deepened, carrying an extremely hypocritical "heartache": "Wan'er, this young master truly feels sorry for you."
"It's just a pity... this is Lingzhou territory, not my Demon Realm."
He abruptly changed the subject, his voice filled with helplessness and resentment: "This damned Heavenly Law is suppressing me too much; my demonic arts are reduced to less than one-tenth..."
"Otherwise, I, the young master, will definitely avenge you and make those blind fools pay the price!"
At this point, Ye Wushang sighed heavily again, his suppressed voice even carrying a perfectly timed hint of self-mockery: "...If only the earth's spiritual core that suppresses demonic energy in this place could loosen even for a moment, even just a brief instant...how wonderful that would be..."
Earth Vein Spiritual Pivot?
Yun Wan'er's breathing quickened for a moment, her lips turned white, and the struggling light in her eyes flickered.
Loosening the earth's ley lines...that's a matter of utmost importance concerning the entire seal of Lingzhou...she can't, she can't...
Ye Wushang could clearly see every subtle struggle on her face, and the fake "heartache" at the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed by the upward curve.
If Yun Wan'er hesitates, then things will be much easier.
The spiritual pivot is loose. Even if he doesn't have time to wipe out all the righteous sects gathered in Liuyunchuan... his magical beasts can at least kill a few disciples of the Tianyan Sect. As long as he has their flesh and blood... the Black Jade Marrow can...
...
A few days later.
At the busiest intersection on the main street of Liuyunchuan, a small stall with an unusually unique painting style suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The stall owner, Shen Zhaozhao, dressed in a neat and tidy outfit, was directing Qin Zhenzhen to place the last batch of palm-sized, jet-black "secret boxes" with fine silver runes flowing across their surfaces onto the stall.
Above the stall, a sign made of condensed spiritual energy stands out prominently: "Six Jades of Cloud Platform, Mysterious Young Master Murong Xiao's Secret Box of Opportunities! Unlock your unique bond with the mysterious young master!"
There were also a few lines of smaller, spiritual words standing next to it.
[Jade Box: There's a chance to obtain the young master's daily writings and absorb his youthful spirit!]
[Glass Box: There's a chance to obtain the young master's personal jade pendant and hair-binding crimson ribbon, imbuing you with his vibrant energy!]
[Hehe Box: ??? (Contains a surprise: the young master wears it closely and absorbs its original aura) This opportunity is predestined; only those with deep blessings will obtain it!]
