Chapter 282: Mu Yinghua: Got it? Will you dare to do it again next time?
In the depths of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Inside a desolate and silent floating land, in a temporary Cave Mansion that was set up, several layers of formations were simply arranged. In the core area of the Cave Mansion, there was a three-zhang square jade pool.
The pool was filled with a medicinal liquid emitting a faint fragrance. Yun Miaozhi, the former Palace Master of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, was currently lying at the bottom of the pool with his eyes closed, his breath chaotic and unpredictable.
Saintess Mei Qingfeng and more than ten escaped core elders were silently sitting by the pool, their eyes filled with worry.
This sudden change was simply a disaster that the Palace of Calamitous Fate had never encountered in its millions of years of establishment.
No one had expected that the Heavenly Human Race, with whom they had been dealing for many years and who had always seemed easy to talk to, would suddenly send so many powerful experts and turn hostile.
As a result, the inheritance of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, which had lasted for millions of years, fell into the hands of the higher-ups of the Heavenly Human Race. Former Palace Master Yun Miaozhi and Saintess Mei Qingfeng were already being hunted down as rebellious members of the sect.
"Your Highness..." Core Elder Yuan Xuankong spoke softly, "This won't do. If the Palace Master cannot recover soon, our situation will become even more difficult."
Mei Qingfeng fell silent for a moment and sighed, "What can we do? The incident happened suddenly, and the things we brought with us are limited. We have no way to replenish them. For now... we can only do this."
It had been several days since they escaped from the main altar of the Palace of Calamitous Fate. Due to Yun Miaozhi's serious injuries, Mei Qingfeng and the elders had no choice but to secretly rob several caravans passing by the nearby Star Domain, finally obtaining some usable resources.
But what to do next, including Mei Qingfeng herself, everyone was at a loss.
However, Mei Qingfeng had not completely lost confidence. Her master was deep and calculating, and he had set up many hidden moves and strategies over the years. As long as he was present, the Palace of Calamitous Fate might not be unable to withstand the current difficulties.
After an unknown amount of time, with a faint sigh, Yun Miaozhi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding elders.
"Is it just these few people? It's really..."
Yun Miaozhi laughed at himself. In just a few days, he had gone from being the lofty Palace Master of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, a prominent figure in the Extreme Void Starry Sky who could easily influence the overall situation of the starry sea, to becoming a dog without a home.
The changes in the world were unpredictable, and the waves of fate were mysterious and unpredictable, as can be seen from this.
"Master, what should we do now?" Mei Qingfeng leaned over and asked. Faced with this almost unsolvable dilemma, with her intelligence and temperament, it was indeed difficult for her to cope. This had exceeded her current capabilities.
Yun Miaozhi organized his thoughts and calmly said, "Don't worry too much. This situation is indeed troublesome, but the immense foundation of the Palace of Calamitous Fate is unimaginable to the Heavenly Human Race. This is not their home ground after all, so they will definitely not know what will happen in the future. We will surely give them a big surprise."
"?!!"
Mei Qingfeng was surprised, but it was within her expectations. The elders, who had previously been frowning, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the successive heads of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, Yun Miaozhi's reputation was not prominent, and his cultivation was not the highest. However, no leader of any major power dared to underestimate him. This old cunning person had been sitting securely in the position of the head of the Palace of Calamitous Fate for tens of thousands of years. Who knew what kind of cards he had?
Yun Miaozhi pondered for a moment and took a jade talisman from his neck, handing it to Mei Qingfeng. He said, "There is a hidden star map inside. By following the map, you can reach a Grotto-Heaven blessed land that I personally set up in the past. There are also some resources stored inside that can temporarily help us settle down. Let's leave here for now."
My injuries are really troublesome, I can't delay any longer.
At this moment, Yun Miaozhi couldn't help but think of Qin Muling. If that young man was under his control, even the most serious injuries would be nothing.
Should I come up with a plan? Should I secretly visit Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace again? As long as I can persuade Qin Muling to heal my injuries, I'm willing to negotiate any conditions...
"Alright, Master."
Mei Qingfeng agreed and took the jade token.
...
Palace of Calamitous Fate main altar.
In the bronze hall, a huge altar made up of unknown beast bones, with three levels, has been set up. Several Great Principle-level experts of the Heavenly Human Race carefully inspected it again and confirmed that there were no more issues before coming to report to the two emperors.
Ling Xi frowned as she looked at the menacing and dark altar emitting a strong aura of hostility. Among the countless intricate and indistinguishable patterns on its surface, there was a faint blood mist flowing as if it were solid.
The Palace of Calamitous Fate's collection was quite abundant, with all kinds of rare materials and treasures from heaven and earth. Therefore, the two emperors of the Heavenly Human Race spared no expense and built such a summoning altar in an extremely extravagant manner.
Although it was only an Acquired Spiritual Treasure level, its actual power was equivalent to an Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, it was a disposable item, which allowed it to be completed in just a few decades. However, these decades referred to the effect of the time acceleration array, which was only a few days in the outside world.
In theory, even across different dimensions of time and space, it could summon specific targets. Ordinary time and space barriers couldn't isolate its power.
Ling Xi felt conflicted in her heart. If nothing unexpected happened, she would soon see him again. She wondered if he still remembered her after such a long time.
But according to the Heavenly Human Race's tradition, people like Qin Muling, who were considered the luckiest among the human race, would ultimately be used as Apex Level sacrifices for the supreme ancestor of the Heavenly Human Race.
At the thought of this, Ling Xi quietly felt some regret in her heart. Perhaps she shouldn't have informed the two emperors about this matter in the first place. Now, it was difficult to back out.
"A summoning altar of this level is more than enough to deal with a mere Origin Immortal. No matter what, it will suffice," Emperor Yuanxi said as he came over to take a look, his tone filled with satisfaction. Even if Qin Muling was extraordinary, his current cultivation level was still low. Faced with the personal intervention of the two emperors, the outcome was without suspense.
"We can't be careless," Emperor Baiyuan said with a solemn expression. "We only have one chance, so we must succeed and not fail. Otherwise... our Heavenly Human Race will have no hope of obtaining him!"
If they failed, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, which was now on guard, would definitely take targeted measures and not give the Heavenly Human Race any opportunity to cause trouble.
Emperor Yuanxi nodded. "Of course, let's make our move together later."
Emperor Baiyuan glanced at Ling Xi, who remained silent, and praised, "If this matter succeeds, you, little girl, will be the one with the greatest merit. The Heavenly Human Race will remember your contribution. Hmm... I will personally take you under my wing and teach you. You will have a promising future."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Emperor," Ling Xi quickly kneeled and bowed, responding softly.
At this moment, in the back mountains of Imperial Dao Peak, inside the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace, Qin Muling was cultivating in seclusion with Mu Yinghua.
After Emperor Xin Yu agreed to help and protect Mu Yinghua in crossing the calamity of the Great Principal Golden Immortal, this master decided to cultivate with Qin Muling for a period of time, accumulating his own foundation to reach an unparalleled level and forge a flawless Dao Foundation.
In doing so, not only can he obtain a perfect Great Principal Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, but it will also make it easier for him to break through to the realm of Quasi-Saint Emperor in the future.
"...I told you to focus on your cultivation, where are your hands?"
I don't know how many times it has been, the stunningly beautiful and enchanting beauty pushed away the hands that were misbehaving on her plump and snowy body. In her soft and charming voice, there was a faint tremor, almost kicking the beautiful young man in her arms off the bed.
"I understand, Master."
Qin Muling's pleasing voice sounded. The two of them had been in close contact for a long time, and just touching each other was no longer enough to satisfy their desires. It was normal for him to not be able to control his hands, right?
"You understand? Will you dare to do it again next time?"
Mu Yinghua didn't fall for it at all. She knew too well about this disciple's character. She really went crazy today. Why didn't she put handcuffs on him? As a result, he became even more unrestrained.
"Okay, Master, I won't do it again."
"Who would believe you!"
Mu Yinghua gritted her teeth and took out the cold whip from her spatial bracelet, placing it aside. The warning was self-evident.
However, even if this guy was not obedient, whether she would actually be willing to hit him or not was unknown.
At this moment, Qin Muling was lying in Mu Yinghua's arms, his enchanting jade arms tightly holding his hands, making him unable to move. However, it only stimulated the flames in his heart even more, making them uncontrollable.
Just then, Qin Muling's face suddenly changed drastically, and he struggled desperately.
"You still want to do it? Do you really want to be whipped?"
Mu Yinghua scolded in a tender voice, holding him tightly to prevent him from acting recklessly.
"No, Master, someone is plotting against me!"
Qin Muling explained anxiously. At this moment, inside his body's spatial realm, a delicate bone talisman was flickering with dazzling brilliance, bursting out an incredible power, almost breaking through the air and flying away.
It was a gift from Ling Xi, a girl from the Heavenly Human Race, when he first entered the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. He hadn't had a chance to use it since then, so Qin Muling had been carrying it with him all along.
Unexpectedly, today, this thing had become a hidden danger buried by his side.
"What's going on?"
Mu Yinghua immediately became alert. Qin Muling's safety was related to the rise and fall of the sect, and there was absolutely no room for error.
Qin Muling broke free from her embrace and quickly used a secret technique. The mysterious and magnificent hall trembled slightly, and the dazzling starlight poured down like a tide. This rare Innate treasure also possessed the supreme power to shield space and isolate the inside from the outside.
Even though Qin Muling's cultivation level was currently limited and not enough to fully unleash its power, it could still effectively interfere with the pulling force that came from an unknown source.
In addition, Qin Muling's spatial realm within his body was essentially an independent space-time world derived from the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, naturally possessing a domain that shields against external forces.
Under the double shielding effect, Qin Muling was not immediately affected and was swept away by the tremendous power emanating from the talisman.
Mu Yinghua, who had already put on her clothes, asked nervously, "What do we do now? Should we immediately ask the Empress and the others for help?"
Qin Muling looked helpless and said, "I dare not release the restrictions of the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace now. I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it. There should be a Monarch Level existence on the other side overseeing this matter, right?"
A sense of fear arose in his heart. If the talisman had been placed in the spatial bracelet, he would have been affected by now and taken away by the opponent's means.
Moreover, once he left, there would be no hope of escape. Since the other party dared to set up this trap, the possibility of making a low-level mistake was basically non-existent.
"What should we do then?" Mu Yinghua asked anxiously. If the other side fails to achieve their goal, they will undoubtedly use even more deadly means, which Qin Muling, with his cultivation level, is likely unable to withstand.
"I don't know either," Qin Muling frowned. He had never encountered such a situation before and had no experience to draw from. Moreover, he dared not take out the bone talisman now, as it would lose the shielding effect of the spatial bracelet and even Mu Yinghua would not be able to suppress it.
In the main hall of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, the bronze hall.
The pitch-black altar was now in full operation, with a terrifying pressure permeating the void. The tens of zhang high blood-colored flames leaped and flickered, occasionally revealing distorted and ferocious faces within the flames. Faintly, there were incomprehensible howls, murmurs of chanting, and heart-wrenching curses... and more.
In front of the altar, a blurry figure gradually appeared, vaguely recognizable as a young human. Ling Xi, who was silently observing from a distance, easily recognized the identity of the figure as Qin Muling from his memory.
However, no matter how the two Empresses manipulated their spiritual techniques and continuously activated the power of the altar to capture the figure, the other party remained in a state of semi-visibility, unable to completely pull their true form from the distant time and space.
"... Is it still not working?" Emperor Yuanxi's voice sounded annoyed, and sweat beads appeared on his smooth forehead, indicating that this method was quite exhausting.
Emperor Baiyuan said coldly, "This little guy should have an Apex Level Innate Spiritual Treasure on him, or he is in the Daoist field arranged by the Quasi-Saint Emperor, which severely interferes with and suppresses the power of the altar."
It's not surprising to think about it. With the other party's important status, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would naturally spare no effort in protecting him. No matter which force tried to make a move on him, it would be impossible to succeed easily.
"What do we do now?" Emperor Yuanxi asked in a low voice. His own spiritual energy was rapidly depleting like the tide, and at most, he could hold on for another two hundred breaths.
After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Baiyuan decisively said, "The night is long and full of dreams. We must immediately increase our magical power output and sacrifice one element of our lifespan to capture him as soon as possible!"
Now is the critical moment. The Quasi-Saint Emperor of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has probably already sensed that something is wrong. If they can't finish the battle quickly, once the other party takes action, they will undoubtedly lose.
Sacrificing one element of their lifespan for twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty years is indeed a high price, but with the foundation of the Quasi-Saint Emperor, it can still be borne. As long as they can capture Qin Muling, it will be a profitable deal without any risk.
"Alright, let's do it this way!" Emperor Yuanxi spewed out a mouthful of his own essence blood, and his face immediately became noticeably dim, and his aura also weakened significantly.
