Ye Qingcheng lowered her head and took a deep breath.
Her hands trembled as she caressed Lin Ruhu's face.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for , he wouldn't have had to go to the Three Corpse Evil Land.
If he hadn't gone there, he wouldn't have ended up like this," Ye Qingcheng said self-reproachfully.
She looked at Lin Ruhu for a long ti.
Finally, she lifted her head and resolutely said, "I've decided, if he cannot be saved, I will die with him."
"Alright, I won't let Ruhu co to harm," Xu Zii waved his hand.
He opened the passage to the Divine Continent and placed Lin Ruhu inside.
"Why have you co to Yao Pond?" Ye Qingcheng looked at Xu Zii and finally asked.
She didn't think Xu Zii ca there to find her.
"I have heard of the great na of Yao Pond, can't I pay a visit?" Xu Zii smiled.
"If it were an ordinary ti, I would believe you saying this.
But this ti, Yao Pond is closed.
You went through such lengths from the Netherworld Realm to Yao Pond, your purpose must not be simple."
Ye Qingcheng looked earnestly at Xu Zii.
She continued, "I shouldn't be asking you these things.
But you've seen the situation Yao Pond is in these days.
This is the place that gave birth to and nurtured , I don't want anything to happen to it.
So..."
"Are you afraid I'm here to cause trouble?" Xu Zii chuckled.
"Fine, I'll speak frankly, I'm here for the Ancient God inheritance."
"Goddess Xuanming?" Ye Qingcheng reacted imdiately.
"That's right," Xu Zii nodded.
"What do you want the Ancient God inheritance for?" Ye Qingcheng frowned.
"In fact, whether the Goddess Xuanming is truly an Ancient God is still uncertain."
"You, the Saintess, don't even know?" Xu Zii asked in surprise.
Logically, the Saintess is the core character of a faction.
Even if there are secrets, they shouldn't be concealed from her.
"In fact, the Goddess Xuanming has always been a legend, at least I've never seen her," Ye Qingcheng shook her head.
"What about your forbidden lands in Yao Pond?" Xu Zii asked.
"As you've said, it's a forbidden land. Without the permission of the Queen of the West, no one can enter."
Ye Qingcheng thought for a mont and said.
"Co to think of it, there is an Immortal Realm in Yao Pond, said to be off-limits even to successive Queens of the West."
"You're not thinking of breaking in, are you?" Ye Qingcheng said and scared herself.
"That won't do. The guardians of the forbidden land are stricter than you can imagine.
Even a Three Flowers expert might not be able to enter."
"Don't worry, I co with great goodwill this ti," Xu Zii smiled.
"Goodwill?" Ye Qingcheng looked at him skeptically.
"I want to talk to the Queen of the West," Xu Zii said directly.
"The Queen Lord isn't seeing anyone now, if you want to speak with our Master, you must wait for the Pan Peach Holy eting.
But you don't have a slot," Ye Qingcheng said.
"I'm not worried about the slots; back in the Pan Peach Garden, I won the slots from the other lineages," Xu Zii smiled.
"If that's the case, then it's easier to discuss," Ye Qingcheng nodded.
The two had a brief discussion.
Xu Zii then left Wangyue Courtyard overnight.
......
In these few days, Yao Pond has been constantly arranging for the Pan Peach Holy eting.
The Penglai Island, where the Yao Pond Sacred Assembly is held, was docked at the shore when Xu Zii passed by.
On both sides of the island, there were actually two Kylin Lions guarding it.
Though Kylin Lions resemble lions in form, their bloodline is closer to that of the Kylin lineage.
It is said that one-tenth of the Kylin Lion lineage can revert their bloodline and beco true Kylin.
Having Kylin Lions as gatekeepers is in itself a noble symbol.
Because a true Kylin is not only powerful and hard to capture.
As one of the Sixteen Monster Races, the Kylin clan's pride does not allow this.
If captured, the Kylin clan would rather commit suicide.
Aside from these Kylin Lions, Penglai Island truly looked like it was a residence for Direct Immortals.
Various airborne pavilions, celestial carvings.
Low springs with trickling streams flowing.
Amid the Immortal Qi, many factions invited to attend the Pan Peach Holy eting were already faintly visible residing there.
These powerful factions were all major sects and noble families from the Nine Domains.
The whole island seed like a place mortals could never enter.
Xu Zii originally planned to return directly to Broken Wolf Valley, but he was stopped on the way.
"Fellow Taoist, could you tell the way to Golden Peak?"
Ahead of Xu Zii, a man wearing a long blue robe with a sowhat strange deanor smiled and asked for directions.
"What Golden Peak?" Xu Zii frowned slightly.
"Aren't you a disciple of Yao Pond?
How could you not know Golden Peak?" the strange man asked in confusion.
"You're not a disciple of Yao Pond, could it be you're here for the Pan Peach Holy eting?" At this mont, a rough voice echoed from behind.
Xu Zii turned his head.
He saw a tall man with bulging muscles approaching.
Seeing the two, Xu Zii didn't answer the question but instead asked, "Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, we an no harm.
I'm from the Heavenly Demon Tribe, and he's from the Titan Clan.
We're here as invited guests for the Pan Peach Holy eting," the strange man smiled.
He even introduced himself.
The man's na was Wang Mingyang, and the burly man behind him was Zhou Wuhua.
"I'm indeed not a disciple of Yao Pond, like you, I'm here for the Pan Peach Holy eting," Xu Zii said.
"Which faction are you from? I've never seen you on Penglai Island," the Titan Clan man Zhou Wuhua asked, puzzled.
Because all the factions participating in the Pan Peach Holy eting are arranged to stay on Penglai Island.
This is to facilitate managent and avoid any mistakes.
"I'm a Loose Cultivator, not residing on Penglai Island, I've been visiting friends these days," Xu Zii replied.
"He doesn't know Golden Peak, so what's the point of talking," Zhou Wuhua waved his hand and prepared to leave.
Wang Yangming, however, was more polite, smiling at Xu Zii, "See you at the Pan Peach Holy eting, fellow Taoist."
Watching the two leave, Xu Zii slightly frowned.
He found these two sowhat peculiar.
As for Golden Peak, what place was that?
......
Back at Broken Wolf Valley, Wang Ze was waiting at the entrance.
"Brother Xu, you finally ca, I've been waiting," Wang Ze said.
"What's happening?" Xu Zii asked.
"Grandpa Wang asked to guide you, we're going to the heartland of the Plant Lineage," Wang Ze said.
"The heartland of the Plant Lineage?" Xu Zii asked with interest.
"Where is that?"
"This Broken Wolf Valley is rely our guardian grounds; our Plant Lineage also has its own territory," Wang Ze smiled.
He led Xu Zii to a massive ancient tree.
The tree's species was unknown, but it looked lush and dense, reaching a height of over a hundred ters, the tallest tree in Broken Wolf Valley.
"Grandpa Tree, I'm here to see you," Wang Ze smiled at the ancient tree.
