To enter the Jade Palace, you actually need to use a teleportation array.
This move was something Wei Qinghe hadn't observed before.
The person who was brought back was crying and refused to go inside.
Wang Yang and his group were not known for their good temper, and they started punching and kicking the group, though they deliberately avoided hitting their faces.
"You little bitch, what are you still pretending for? You're already here, do you think you can still escape?"
Wang Yang clearly has a violent temper and doesn't know his own strength when he strikes.
Long Yunzhi raised her hand to stop him, but didn't know what to say.
Wang Yang and his group immediately became unhappy and were about to make a move.
Fang Buwei stepped forward anxiously, a forced smile on his face.
"Senior brother, please calm down. My junior brother is an honest man. He just feels that we've already arrived at the mountain gate, and if we damage it, it would be a waste of your hard work this time."
As he spoke, he handed Wang Yang a piece of seven-star grass that he had picked up in the Black Forest.
"Senior brother, please don't hold it against my ignorant junior brother for my sake. He's young and hasn't experienced much."
Wang Yang weighed the Seven Star Grass in his hand, finally satisfied, and then smiled and said, "This junior brother knows how to handle people. What's your name, junior brother?"
"My name is Wang He," Fang Buwei said, having spent some time memorizing this identity.
"Very good, I'll remember you. Remember to give me any good things in the future."
Wang Yang patted Fang Buwei on the shoulder in an appreciative manner.
"Definitely, definitely."
As Wang Yang passed Fang Buwei, he suddenly looked at Wei Qinghe, who was in disguise.
Wei Qinghe quickly lowered her eyes, looking terrified.
Wang Yang then turned and strode away.
Wei Qinghe and the others followed.
Just as Wei Qinghe had seen before, the weather outside was fine, but after crossing the teleportation portal, it instantly became cold and gloomy.
The Yin energy was so heavy that even the Ghost King Seal in Wei Qinghe's palm could sense it.
The Ghost King Seal quietly peeked out, comfortably absorbing the Yin energy.
"Let's go, hurry up."
The group soon arrived at a backyard, from which the sound of crying could be heard continuously.
Most of them were children and young women.
After the group made a record of the captured people, Wei Qinghe, Qi Lan, and Wan Yunsheng were pushed into a room.
There were quite a few children and young women locked up in this room.
"Stay put, or I'll kill you."
Wang Yang forcefully pushed the person he had captured into the room, then slammed the door shut.
The yin energy in the Jade Palace was so heavy that even a large number of people felt cold and gloomy in the same room.
These people who were captured were all ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation.
However, they possess spiritual roots, some even being top-grade spiritual roots.
It seems these people weren't captured to be turned into zombies.
The Jade Palace certainly has a lot of conspiracies and schemes.
Qi Lan hid behind Wei Qinghe, and Wan Yunsheng was also close to Qi Lan.
The three of them looked quite frightened.
"Oh no, it's getting dark, they're coming to select people."
Just then, a woman leaning against the wall suddenly spoke up in fear.
Her back was pressed tightly against the wall; if she could, she would probably walk through it.
"I don't want to be chosen, I don't want to..."
The other women also began to feel scared and moved backward, soon leaving only Wei Qinghe, Qi Lan, and Wan Yunsheng standing in place.
Just then, the door opened, and a woman with a swaying, lithe waist walked in.
The woman was extremely beautiful and walked with great flair.
She was dressed like one of the inn's maids, and her critical gaze swept over the people in the room.
Compared to those weeping women, Wei Qinghe and Qi Lan, though a bit ugly after their disguises, were relatively in good spirits.
"You're the one. Come with me."
She first pointed at Qi Lan, and then finally pointed at Wei Qinghe.
This suited Wei Qinghe perfectly; she wanted to go inside.
Qi Lan grabbed Wei Qinghe's hand with some unease, and Wei Qinghe gave her a reassuring look.
Their actions were met with fear by the beauties of Qingyu Palace.
"Come on, little sister, this is your good fortune. If you can be noticed by the higher-ups, you'll be a phoenix rising from the ashes."
Qi Lan secretly rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Would you want a couple like that?"
Wei Qinghe lowered her eyes and walked slowly to the woman without saying a word.
The woman wasn't angry; instead, she admired Wei Qinghe's courage.
Let's go.
Wei Qinghe followed the woman, heading towards the inner hall of Qingyu Palace.
Wang Yang stroked his chin, looking at the two departing figures with a puzzled expression. "What does Chunhua mean by this? The woman we found has good spiritual roots and is beautiful, so why did she choose a good-for-nothing with mediocre looks and no spiritual roots?"
"Perhaps Chunhua is also afraid that the newcomer will steal her favor?" another disciple said.
“That makes sense. Chunhua has been at the top for so many years, and she’s not young anymore. She could be replaced by a newcomer at any time.”
Wang Yang nodded in agreement, "If my people are chosen and receive favor from above, I should be promoted to inner disciple first."
Fang Buwei chuckled inwardly, but also felt a little worried for Wei Qinghe.
After all, this was being done right under the nose of the Qingyu Palace's patriarch.
I don't know who they mean by "above".
