Chapter 372 Dismantling the Palace
"Haha! That's wonderful!" Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately flapped her wings happily and circled halfway around the rocky cliff. Then she excitedly exclaimed, "Yuan Pan, can we carry that very hot stove out and throw it away?"
Having experienced such things, the apes who saw this scene immediately understood that this senior black bird must be a fire mage.
They quickly walked back and carried the three stoves inside.
It was already very hot in Guangyang Palace. Crackling sounds kept coming from the main hall, mixed with the low chirping of birds. Ji Rong led Xi Tong to put down the stove, and then had Xi Tong carry another extremely hot stove. Before the sun rose, they returned the stove.
After eating breakfast on time, they followed the monkeys back to their rooms to rest.
In principle, imperial cultivators in Guangyang Palace should have their own private rooms.
However, Yuanpan did not go to Ya Nu's place to handle the matter, citing the need to familiarize them with the affairs. Ji Rong did not ask any questions, and the two birds, the ape, and the deity lived together in the small room, which was quite warm.
To be honest, the room under the Ice Cloud Terrace was not only small but also cold, but since they slept during the day and worked at night, it was just right for them. Ji Rong felt that there was probably no better place in Guangyang Palace than Yuan Pan's place.
Ji Rong and Xi Tong returned to their room and went to sleep. Yuan Pan also slept for a while. When she got up, she saw that Ji Rong and the others were still fast asleep, so she tiptoed out to do some work.
As soon as Yuan Pan left, Ji Rong pulled Xi Tong to her feet. She took out some spirit linen again and started making clothes for Yuan Pan while listening to Shan Shui recount his journey.
The wild geese, tortoises, and boars suspended in the air by the fire chains were difficult to steal; Shan Shui tried for a long time but couldn't get past them at all.
Xi Tong thought for a moment and said, "I have absorbed a lot of solar fire and can try to prove the Dao. Then they can be liberated, but if that happens, how I will survive will be a problem."
Thinking about Yuan Pan's words, Ji Rong looked at the landscape and said, "What if I blow up Guangyang Palace?"
"Ah Jun, if a cultivator who has reached the Great Sage realm were to self-destruct and damage the palace, would you really lead us away?"
Shan Shui took out a jade bottle and said, "It's alright. Where should we run to then?"
Ji Rong said, "Let's go to Beisaijuzhou! It's frozen and snowy there all year round, so even if that lord comes after us, it won't be a big problem."
"...That Great Sage Si Nu is known for her fighting spirit; when the time comes, you should speak to her..."
As the saying goes, "A fence needs three posts, and nowadays, even a monkey needs three helpers."
When Yuan Pan returned, Ji Rong took out the three newly made spirit linen garments and said, "Yuan Pan, try them on and see if they fit."
Looking at the brand-new spiritual linen dress, Yuan Pan felt as if she had returned to the banquet in Kyushu. She wiped her eyes, happily took the dress, put it on, and choked out, "I like it."
Ji Rong looked at Yuan Pan's relaxed face. She couldn't help but pat her head and say, "Good child."
Hearing this, Yuan Pan felt deeply moved, and tears that had long since dried up welled up in her eyes again. She threw herself into Ji Rong's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Senior, are you leaving? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ji Rong grinned and said, "Why are you leaving? I already said that I owe you a favor and have eaten a few meals with you, so I have to do something for you."
At night, they came to the intricately arrayed door again. This time, only Ji Rong and Yuan Pan were there.
As soon as the door opened, Ji Rong put on a serious face and gestured for Yuan Pan to wait in the distance.
She went into the inner room, spread her wings, and took out the body of the Great Witch Pang from the West Treasure Palace. The Great Witch Pang's face remained unchanged.
Ji Rong thought to himself, "Old man, this time we'll let you have your way and let you show off your power again."
"You'll go to Yanxi-jun later. Don't force me to learn water magic again. Asking a mountain bird like me to learn water magic is cruel and demanding."
Then she placed the body of the great shaman in the position closest to the main seat of the temple; then she lowered her mind and secretly used the corpse technique to entrust a small part of her divine sense into the body of the great shaman Pang.
Finally, Ji Rong flapped her wings, crushed the crystal in the great shaman Pang's hand with one claw, and flew swiftly towards the door.
"Bang, bang, bang... splash... splash... splash..."
Ji Rong flew out of the door and slammed it shut. Then she heard a loud rushing sound mixed with the sound of water crashing against the wall.
She pulled Yuan Pan, who was in the distance, along as they sped away, saying, "Go hide in your little house, or seek refuge with your family, and live well."
After saying that, Ji Rong rolled on the ground and transformed into a little girl wearing a seven-colored feather dress, disappearing into the icy mist.
"Remnants of the Witch Clan, how dare you overestimate yourselves! Destroying my palace!"
Below Guangyang Palace, furious shouts echoed across the sky; above Guangyang Palace, everything was ablaze with orange-red.
When Xi Tong saw the orange-red flames rising from the mountaintop, he knew that his chance for promotion had come.
She shook off the colorful feathers of the ribbon bird on her body and said to the Si Nu who was waiting for her, "Great Sage, I have heard that the Great Sage of Guanshan has been waiting for you to challenge him. Since the sun has set in Guangyang Palace, why don't you go to Yuxu Palace to seek a bright future?"
When Si Nu saw Xi Tong, she recognized her immediately and sneered, "I was mistaken about you the other day and didn't realize you were a golden crow."
Xi Tong said, "Great Sage Si Nu, you should leave quickly. I'm telling you all this not because I can't beat you, but because the Rainbow Bird said you have the potential to become a dragon, and I don't want your talent to be wasted."
If you've figured it out, immediately lead your people to settle in either the Jade Void Mountains or the Danxue Mountains.
"As long as you don't go to the Chijian Mountains, there's nowhere in the world you can't go."
Si Nu ignored her and transformed into her Dharma body, grabbing at Xi Tong with a claw. Xi Tong dodged the claw and rushed straight into the fire chain array.
A dark flame was spat out of her mouth and held in her claws to her chest.
The fire continuously drew light from the chain to fuel its flames, and before long, the entire Xitong was ablaze.
Outside the formation, the mountains and rivers had already transformed into the shape of an earthen dragon. It grabbed an earthen bowl and covered the Si Nu with it. Immediately, the surrounding earth and stones flew up, and earthen dragons rose from the ground, surrounding the Si Nu.
Seeing that she was no match for the enemy, Si Nu simply slapped the token in two with her tail, threw it into the fire, grabbed the mountain tortoise with one claw, put it in her mouth, and flew towards the Fire Rock Mountain.
She thought to herself, "The mountains are high and the roads are long. Since I'm going to occupy this land and become an ancestor, why not lead the lesser gods to clear the earth's veins and make life a little easier?"
Enveloped in the flames, the charred embers rose without wind, soon growing into a small, jet-black ball radiating immense heat.
As the sphere took shape, the surrounding sky brightened, and countless birds and beasts, thinking that dawn was approaching, rose up and sang joyfully.
Ji Rong rushed down at this moment. She looked at Xi Tong, who was already like a blazing sun hanging high in the sky, showing no sign of setting, and felt anxious.
The mountains and rivers nearby prompted the earth dragon to put the wild boar and wild goose down, and then patted each of them on the forehead.
Ji Rong pointed to Xi Tong in the sky and said, "Divine Lord, is it possible to take her away?"
