Ling Xiang announced to everyone that he was going to go into seclusion, and locked himself in the room to practice.
After consolidating his Nascent Soul cultivation, it was already getting late, so Ling Xiang left the Tianxia Inn overnight.
I just didn’t expect that I would meet an acquaintance not far from the Tianxia Inn.
"Master Yuan?" Ling Xiang was surprised.
Yuan Zhengqing seemed to have seen through everything. He pointed in the direction of the Fuxian Secret Realm and said, "Miss Ling, I'm worried about the safety of the Luosha Palace Master and want to go in and find out what's going on. Do you want to come with me?"
Ling Xiang couldn't help but sigh, he was worthy of being the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, a genius in solving cases. Not only did he guess that she was going to Fuxian Secret Realm to rescue the Lord of Luosha Palace, he also directly ignored the fact that she lied to everyone that she was in seclusion, and took the initiative to invite her to Fuxian Secret Realm, paving the way for her.
Yuan Zhengqing has done this much, Ling Xiang really has no reason to refuse:
"The secret realm is dangerous. It's naturally a good thing that Master Yuan is willing to travel with us."
Yuan Zhengqing put on his cloak again and took out his magic weapon to hide his presence: "There is no Lord Yuan here, only Yuan Zhengqing. If Miss Ling doesn't mind, you can just call me Brother Yuan."
"Okay, Brother Yuan."
The two of them, one in front and one behind, sneaked quickly in the dark and soon arrived at the entrance of Fuxian Secret Realm.
"Madam has returned to the Fuxian Secret Realm. Should we inform the Palace Master?"
Meihu followed orders and secretly protected Ling Xiang. When he saw Ling Xiang entering the Fuxian Secret Realm, he asked Meiying who was on the mission with him.
"Madam is in danger, so of course we have to tell the Palace Master about it." Phantom took out the sound-transmitting butterfly and told it about Ling Xiang's situation in the language of the demon clan.
The sound transmission disc quickly rushed to the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons. Meihu and Meiying continued to follow Ling Xiang and entered the Fuxian Secret Realm together.
Fuxian Secret Realm, seven days ago.
Nangong Yu, the Lord of Luosha Palace, saw Ling Xiang, the Lord of Canglong Palace, and Lingxiao Xianpo fall into the deep pool together. After searching for them in vain, he ordered everyone to leave and sacrificed the Skeleton Banner. After the skeleton and the spirit beast fought hard, he immediately went into the deep pool to look for people. He searched every corner but couldn't find Ling Xiang. He became anxious and released Gao Zhenzhen from the spirit beast bag.
The space in the spirit beast bag is only suitable for placing spirit beasts in it. Gao Zhenzhen, a living person, could not bear it in it at all. When she was released, she had been tortured beyond recognition.
She looked at Nangong Yu, tears sliding down her dirty cheeks. She no longer had the charming demeanor she once had, but she still tried to arouse Nangong Yu's sympathy:
"Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart! Zhenzhen is devoted to you, how could you do this to me!"
Influenced by the skull banner, Nangong Yu threw her to the ground with a cold expression, pointing to the deep pool where Ling Xiao's immortal soul was born and said:
"The Lingxiao Immortal Soul has been born. Tell me, how can we find the Lingxiao Immortal Soul?"
Gao Zhenzhen's body, already riddled with wounds, felt a sudden pain everywhere after being thrown down like this. She said bitterly:
"Hasn't Your Highness seen my memories? Don't you know everything? Even if I was wrong, I've already received the punishment I deserved and lost everything. Your Highness still won't let me go?"
Nangong Yu had indeed seen Gao Zhenzhen's memories, but his memories were rather vague. He was also deeply shocked by the fact that Gao Zhenzhen was reborn, so he did not see some things clearly, including the birth of Ling Xiao's immortal soul. Otherwise, there would be no need to go through the trouble of bringing Gao Zhenzhen here.
"Gao Zhenzhen, cherish your last bit of value. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
Gao Zhenzhen had experienced a life worse than death. She had been reduced to the lowest level of prostitute, locked in a spirit beast bag, and treated like garbage by men...
She had seen Nangong Yu's revenge before, and she was really scared:
"The Lingxiao Immortal Soul needs to be awakened with blood before it can be subdued. Otherwise, no one can get close to the Lingxiao Immortal Soul."
After Gao Zhenzhen said this, Nangong Yu remembered that Ling Xiang and that senior were indeed injured and vomiting blood.
It was his fault that he had poisoned Gao Zhenzhen to silence her, and only gave her the antidote before coming to the secret realm. It was only in the past few days that Gao Zhenzhen's voice recovered.
He was worried that Ling Xiang would be unhappy when she saw Gao Zhenzhen, and that she would recognize his identity, so he didn't get Gao Zhenzhen out immediately. This also caused him to miss out on Ling Xiao's immortal soul, and the mysterious master who showed up halfway got it for nothing.
Rather than Ling Xiao's immortal soul, he wanted to know where Ling Xiang had gone:
"Someone holding Lingxiao Immortal Soul fell into a deep pool and disappeared. Why?"
In her previous life, Gao Zhenzhen had only heard some news about Ling Xiao Xian Po by chance, so how could she know so much? "I don't know, but if Your Highness is concerned, why not go down and take a look?"
Nangong Yu said expressionlessly, "I've looked, but there's no one down there, no trace at all."
Gao Zhenzhen looked towards the deep pool and suddenly laughed: "Ling Xiang fell in, right?"
She was certain that the prince would only be so anxious if Ling Xiang fell in!
It would be great if Ling Xiang fell down, it would be better if she died in there!
Gao Zhenzhen smiled with a face full of gloating. Nangong Yu felt disgusted when he looked at her for even a second. Thinking that he had been with such a woman for so long, he almost wanted to kill her:
"If I can't find Ling Xiang, you will be buried with me!"
"Ling Xiang didn't fall in alone, did she?" Gao Zhenzhen didn't mind the blood in the pool, and washed her face with water. "She must be so happy right now. Your Highness can just ignore this."
Nangong Yu grabbed Gao Zhenzhen's neck and asked, "What else are you hiding?"
Remembering the last time Nangong Yu lost control of the Skull Banner due to excessive emotional fluctuations, Gao Zhenzhen deliberately angered him and said sarcastically:
“People only know that obtaining Lingxiao Immortal Soul can not only greatly increase one’s cultivation, but also make future advancements smoother. However, they don’t know that Lingxiao Immortal Soul’s selection of a master is very strict. Not only must one have good talent and high cultivation, but also a pair of lovers must appear at the same time.
"It's obvious that Ling Xiang and her lover were chosen by Ling Xiao's immortal soul and were teleported away. Now, who knows where they are making love..."
Gao Zhenzhen made up a lot of nonsense, just waiting for Nangong Yu to be attacked by the skull banner so that she could find a way to escape from his control.
"Looking for death!" Nangong Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he pressed Gao Zhenzhen's head into the pool.
Gulp gulp...
Gao Zhenzhen choked on water and struggled desperately.
Thinking that Ling Xiang might be with another man, Nangong Yu became very upset and could no longer control the Skull Banner, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The skull banner lost control, all the skeletons disappeared on the spot, and the skull banner fell at Nangong Yu's feet.
Gao Zhenzhen took the opportunity to break free and pushed Nangong Yu into the pool. Before escaping, she also took Nangong Yu's skull banner.
Without the obstruction of the skeletons, the spirit beasts outside, led by the mythical beast Four Dissimilars, launched a frenzied attack on the cultivators who came to the deep pool.
Gao Zhenzhen was very careful and tried to avoid the spirit beasts and cultivators all the way, but she was still discovered by the spirit beast, which opened its bloody mouth and bit towards her.
