Xu Zii had arrived prepared for a tough battle.
After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Why would anyone simply hand over such treasures?
In the end, only strength speaks.
However, the Palace Master of the Divine Maiden Palace didn’t get angry; instead, she seed willing to compromise.
This was unexpected to Xu Zii.
After briefly speaking with the palace master of the Divine Maiden Palace, Xu Zii and her companions were escorted by several Divine Envoys to a place to rest.
On the way, Xu Zii looked at Gu Yue and asked, "You seed like you had sothing to say just now but stopped yourself?"
"No, it’s nothing," Gu Yue hurriedly shook her head, her face pale as she responded.
"If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you," Xu Zii shrugged.
The group was staying in a courtyard.
There were three rooms inside, perfectly suitable for one person each.
The sky was gradually darkening.
The nights at the Divine Maiden Palace were extrely beautiful. The sky was speckled with stars, offering an ethereal and hazy beauty.
Still, the sky was ablaze with countless stars and a full moon hanging in the mid-sky.
Xu Zii and her two companions returned to their rooms to sleep early.
Cultivated all night, wordlessly!
The next morning, the three of them walked out from their rooms, and the Divine Envoys of the Divine Maiden Palace had already prepared breakfast.
After breakfast, since they couldn’t wander around the Divine Maiden Palace, they had to stay inside the courtyard to rest.
Xu Zii was now approaching the end of her training in Shaking Heaven Power, and her Divine Soul contained thousands of Power Vortexes.
She was in the process of breaking through to the Gate of Immortality within the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate.
Occasionally, she would also open up the remaining Extraordinary ridians.
anwhile, the monk Da Zhi seed to be always divining.
After all, the path of his divination was blocked by this little world, and he was trying to connect with the Heavenly Dao of the outside world.
Without the Divination Path, one of Monk Da Zhi’s strengths was significantly diminished.
Gu Yue seed sowhat unhappy, weighed down with heavy thoughts.
Xu Zii didn’t press her to speak.
...
A day passed by quickly, and night fell.
That night, while Xu Zii was in a state of cultivation, she suddenly opened her eyes.
She headed towards the room of Gu Yue next door, and it appeared that Da Zhi the monk had also sensed sothing and ran after Xu Zii.
When the two arrived at Gu Yue’s room, they saw a figure in a black robe with Gu Yue over his shoulder, about to leave.
The sudden appearance of Xu Zii and her companion clearly startled the one in the black robe.
"Who are you?" Da Zhi the monk asked with a frown.
The figure in the black robe did not answer and directly escaped through another window.
"No ti for words, follow him!" Xu Zii shouted.
The two chased after the figure in the black robe. The figure’s strength did not seem weak, crossing hundreds of ters in the blink of an eye.
Xu Zii slashed with her sword, her speed even faster.
The figure in the black robe narrowly avoided the slash.
"Boundless Heavenly Venerate," Monk Da Zhi greeted with his ritual, and inexhaustible Spiritual Energy surged towards the black-robed figure, suppressing him.
Just as the figure was about to be subdued,
a cold hum suddenly ca from the horizon.
This hum, like a thunderclap or a solemn bell and drum, exploded within the Divine Soul of Monk Da Zhi.
Da Zhi the monk grunted, his body wavered for a mont, and he almost collapsed.
It was during this mont that the black-robed figure swiftly escaped.
"You’d better stay," Xu Zii’s figure moved instantly through the void.
Nurous afterimages flashed by, blocking the black-robed figure’s path.
The pupils of the figure in the black robe constricted slightly, clearly not expecting Xu Zii to be so fast.
He slowly drew Tyrant Shadow and said indifferently, "Take off the black robe and mask, and leave her behind."
As soon as his words fell, a booming "rumble" sounded in the firmant above.
Spiritual Energy around them erupted into chaos, and the starry sky seed to churn as an imnse hand of Spiritual Energy reached out towards Xu Zii.
It was intercepted right in front of Xu Zii and the cloaked figure.
"You’re still not enough," Xu Zii scoffed coldly.
As Tyrant Shadow cascaded down with the might to slay gods, he stepped into the void, his presence astonishingly powerful.
His blade technique was like an unending series of tidal waves, one after another.
It collided directly with the vast hand.
The blade’s montum was like a rainbow, splendid and eye-catching, tearing apart the imnse hand forcefully, as if it even split the starry sky.
The cloaked figure, seeing this scene unfold, couldn’t bother with anything else.
They imdiately threw Gu Yue towards Xu Zii and frenziedly fled into the distance.
Xu Zii did not bother to chase after her, instead catching Gu Yue to examine her condition.
He found that she was only unconscious and not injured.
Only then did he hand Gu Yue over to the hastily arriving Da Zhi monk.
"Is she alright?" Da Zhi monk inquired.
Xu Zii shook his head slightly, his gaze deep as he looked into the depths of the starry space.
The two brought Gu Yue back into the courtyard and woke her from her unconscious state.
Gu Yue shook her head slightly; she could not rember anything, only that she had fallen asleep.
"What do we do now?" Da Zhi monk asked.
"Find the Palace Master of Divine Maiden Palace," Xu Zii replied.
"I had no wish to cause a great commotion, but if they won’t follow the rules, then what’s the harm in fighting a battle?"
Looking at Xu Zii, Gu Yue hesitated for a mont.
Eventually, she said, "Could you promise one thing?"
"What is it?" Xu Zii asked.
"Whatever happens, could you not harm the Palace Master of the Divine Maiden Palace?" Gu Yue pleaded.
"I’ll see how I feel. If she hands over the Nirvana Beads, I can’t be bothered to make a fuss," Xu Zii responded.
As soon as the three stepped out of the courtyard, they were imdiately stopped by two Divine Envoys guarding the doorway.
"Our Palace Master commands that you cannot leave at will right now."
Xu Zii simply waved his hand in Suppression, not bothering to waste words with them.
Only after Xu Zii left did the rigid bodies of the two Divine Envoys begin to move again.
With sweat beading on their foreheads, they swallowed their surprise with a gulp.
...…
The three slowly approached the Looking Heaven Pavilion.
This was where the Palace Master of Divine Maiden Palace resided.
The Divine Envoys who had tried to stop Xu Zii and his companions had already fallen, about a dozen.
Only seven or eight remained guarding in front of the Looking Heaven Pavilion.
"Enough, all of you back off," a cold voice called from inside.
The Palace Master of Divine Maiden Palace walked out slowly, frowning at Xu Zii, "What is the aning of this?"
"Shouldn’t I be asking you that?" Xu Zii retorted.
"What was the matter with that cloaked figure just now?
With things happening in Divine Maiden Palace that you don’t know about, we might as well clear the air now that we’re here."
Xu Zii slowly placed Tyrant Shadow on the ground, the blade tip piercing just into the earth, and cracks spread from beneath his feet.
"Hand over the Nirvana Beads, and I’ll let bygones be bygones.
If there is any nonsense, I’ll just slaughter the entire Divine Maiden Palace."
"What arrogance," the surrounding Divine Envoys couldn’t help but boil with rage.
"Presumptuous youth, do you know where you are?
You get a little ability and beco so arrogant."
The Palace Master of Divine Maiden Palace raised her head slowly and let out a slight chuckle.
