"Your Majesty, are you just going to watch here? If so, won’t I have no leverage for negotiation? You haven’t agreed to cooperate with against the Soul Devour Group and the Eight-Headed yet!"
Jiang Chen suddenly chuckled.
"Oh! As for that, if Mr. Jiang can truly help us control the Eight Yata Mirror, I will surely join you in dealing with the Eight-Headed!" The Ci Yi Emperor spoke half-heartedly.
"Your Majesty, why don’t you avoid a little, and we can talk again once I’ve mastered the Eight Yata Mirror. This is the Imperial Palace, you wouldn’t worry that I could take it away, would you?" Jiang Chen chuckled again.
The Ci Yi Emperor laughed heartily, "Of course not! I trust Mr. Jiang can’t take it away, so I’ll step out to ease Mr. Jiang’s mind."
While saying this, the Ci Yi Emperor rose and headed towards the doorway.
Watching the Ci Yi Emperor leave, Jiang Chen gave Ying Zi a glance.
Buzz!
Ying Zi’s aura burst forth, instantly encasing the entire guest room.
Jiang Chen’s expression turned serious, and he once again infused his Soul Power into the Eight Yata Mirror.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Wow!
The Eight Yata Mirror vibrated, glowing golden once more.
This ti, Jiang Chen did not withdraw his Soul Power but delved in to explore.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly. Within the Eight Yata Mirror, he sensed the presence of a Formation, surprisingly carrying a hint of Dragon Soul aura!
Is this... a seal!?
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, followed by a deep frown as he recollected the Ci Yi Emperor’s ntion of ’activation’ just now!
Does Ci Yi know there’s a seal inside? And knows I can break it?
But how would he know? Even I wasn’t aware!
Jiang Chen looked up at the door, sensing both the Ci Yi Emperor and Mu Cun at the entrance. After pondering for a mont, Jiang Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened.
It’s him! The person from the Ancient Martial Era!
Jiang Chen’s heart sank. The strength of that person was not clear to Jiang Chen; now, with Jiang Chen’s Divine Soul power, he could sense the strength of a late Saint Realm expert, which sufficiently indicated that the person’s power surpassed the late Saint Realm!
This is troubleso!
Concern flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes as he glanced at the door. He then turned to Ying Zi, transmitting a ssage, "Ying Zi, help find soone. Her na is Qingzheng Xintai. Give her the Qiong Gouyu!"
"Young Master?" Ying Zi wondered, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.
"Listen to , she’s very important to . Given the circumstances, it seems I can’t leave anyti soon. Ci Yi and Mu Cun are both at the Saint Realm, and this is Luojing. If a fight breaks out, it could likely attract the Soul Devour Group. I’m a bit uneasy. I can hold them off for up to two days; you go find her. She possesses a force that can help , but her soul is injured and needs the Qiong Gouyu for healing!"
Jiang Chen solemnly transmitted, "I’ll try to delay as much as possible until you bring people back."
"Okay!" Ying Zi nodded.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, handing the Qiong Gouyu to Ying Zi.
He didn’t reveal to Ying Zi that there was a presence stronger than the late Saint Realm here, as this revelation suggested that You Xuan might not have a chance to lead them away. If You Xuan was tied up by that person, Jiang Chen would beco the target of the opponent’s full effort to kill. Allowing Ying Zi to leave first was to give her a bigger chance to survive.
If he told Ying Zi about this, she wouldn’t leave at all!
"Young Master, where is she?" Ying Zi took the Qiong Gouyu, asking via transmission.
Jiang Chen was about to respond when a thought struck him, and he pointed a single finger at the Qiong Gouyu.
Buzz!
An ancient aura erged, as a strand of Soul Power, white Dragon Qi, and a drop of Essence Blood seeped from Jiang Chen’s fingertip, directly flying into the Qiong Gouyu.
"Ying Zi, listen carefully! Miss Qingzheng Xintai is located at Mito Town, fifty kiloters west of Wudao City. No matter what, you must get the Qiong Gouyu there; it’s quite a distance, so I’ll try to delay as much as I can."
"After you find her, tell her that this contains a wisp of my Divine Soul power, a trace of Martial Soul Dragon Qi, and a drop of Essence Blood. She must keep it a secret and not tell anyone aside from the three of us!"
"When the world changes drastically, and the Fla Dragon faces a crisis that even Dragon Saint cannot handle, she should take the Qiong Gouyu to Dragon Saint and inform him about its contents. Until then, nobody must know that it holds my Divine Soul power, Dragon Qi, and Essence Blood!"
Jiang Chen watched Ying Zi intently, his transmitted voice grave and commanding.
Ying Zi’s expression shifted, looking at Jiang Chen bewilderedly and transmitted back, "Young Master, why tell her this suddenly? Does she know Dragon Saint, too? Why should we..."
"Ying Zi, this is a signal I set with her. Telling her this will convince her trust. She’s long been in hiding within Beihai National and won’t easily trust others!" Jiang Chen transmitted again.
"Understood!"
Ying Zi nodded; although still feeling sothing was off, her trust in Jiang Chen kept her from asking further.
...
At the entrance of the guest room where Jiang Chen and Ying Zi were located.
The Ci Yi Emperor and Mu Cun sat in a pavilion in front of the door.
Crack!
A soft sound ca as the guest room door opened, and Ying Zi stepped out.
"Miss Ying Zi, where are you headed?" inquired the Ci Yi Emperor.
"The Young Master asked to buy so items. To fully control the Eight Yata Mirror, so preparation is needed. The Young Master will first attempt gradual control," Ying Zi bowed towards the Ci Yi Emperor, respectfully replying.
The Ci Yi Emperor frowned slightly, suspiciously eyeing Ying Zi.
Buzz!
A golden light emanated from the guest room, and a vast aura erged.
The Ci Yi Emperor’s eyes lit up as he relaxed, chuckling, "All right, Miss Ying Zi, go ahead!"
"Okay!" Ying Zi nodded and turned towards the direction of the Imperial Palace’s main gates.
"Your Majesty, will there be any problems with her leaving at this juncture?" Mu Cun softly questioned, watching Ying Zi disappear around a corner.
The Ci Yi Emperor shook his head, "No need to worry about her, Jiang Chen is still here, and the Eight Yata Mirror is intact. Whatever she does will make no difference!"
Mu Cun glanced at Jiang Chen’s guest room, lightly nodding.
Inside the guest room.
Jiang Chen did not try to unlock the seal but rather maintained the Eight Yata Mirror in a state close to activation, a muted strand of Divine Soul power following Ying Zi closely.
Once Ying Zi exited the Imperial Palace, Jiang Chen gently sighed, retracting that strand of Divine Soul power.
After a while, sensing Ying Zi had gone far, Jiang Chen’s expression turned stern as he roused his Martial Soul, placing a single finger on the Eight Yata Mirror.
Howl!
A dragon’s roar echoed within Jiang Chen, as a trace of Martial Soul power seeped from Jiang Chen’s fingertip into the Eight Yata Mirror.
Howl!
A dragon’s roar resonated from the Eight Yata Mirror, followed by waves of imnse aura emanating from it.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Wow wow!
The Eight Yata Mirror erupted with dazzling golden light, the imnse aura growing stronger and more intense.
Whoosh!
At that mont, the Eight Yata Mirror rose independently, slowly hovering above Jiang Chen’s head.
