Early the next morning, the Yin Shen Palace first went to the Jingtian Palace to pay respects to the patriarch and presented gifts.
Although Vice Sect Master Bai Jing did not summon him this ti, it was different from before.
He rewarded the Yin Shen Palace with ten full bottles of elixir pills.
And a cultivation technique.
Then he had soone tell him: Be careful on the way back.
The Yin Shen Palace was almost moved to tears.
Having sent gifts for over a thousand years and bowed for more than two thousand years, today finally saw feedback and received a reward.
Ten bottles of elixir pills, and they are all high-level, above the elder level... The total value of rewards received from the headquarters and sect over more than a thousand years cannot compare to the worth of these ten bottles of elixir pills!
And the patriarch even cares about !
Overwheld with gratitude.
Then he went to the logistics, financial sector, battle platform, and other places where high-ranking sect mbers hold posts, paying respects, moving around, and giving gifts.
He made sure that all favors were reciprocated.
Although the Yin Shen Palace clearly knew he could not rely on these people, the key was not that they couldn’t achieve anything, but that they could cause failure.
They might forget the gifts given over a thousand years, but if nothing is given this year, they will surely rember!
Yin Shen Palace is a shrewd person; how could he make such a basic mistake?
So he covered all bases.
Then he found himself much more popular now, with several departnt heads he sought to et personally welcoming him and conversing warmly.
Upon departure, they even gave gifts... After the visit, he gave out many gifts, but surprisingly received even more.
Almost reimbursing what he had given out before.
The Yin Shen Palace, overwheld with gratitude, repeatedly refused. But once a gift is presented, it cannot be taken back, so in the end, he accepted them all.
Terrified yet excited, he made a fortune, bowed, and exited, with sleeves full of "golden wind."
On the surface, he appeared honored and pleased, even self-satisfied.
Then spat a mouthful of saliva when no one was around.
"Why the heck did you wait till now? Over a thousand years, I’ve bowed enough to dig a hole through the continent, and you all sat like clay statues, not budging an inch. Seeing frad and about to lose the Sect Hierarch position, yet not lending a hand."
"Now seeing I’ve beco powerful and valuable, you start treating with respect, pfft. Do you take for a fool?"
Of course, the Yin Sect Leader was cursing in his heart, still maintaining a face of ’feeling incomparable warmth at the Main Sect’ ecstasy.
Thinking there was nothing else, he returned to the inn, calmly checked out, left the Divine Capital, admiring the scenery along the way, not hurried, not slow.
He knew he couldn’t leave in a hurry or in disgrace, no matter how eager he was to return, no matter how much he feared ambush on the road, he had to appear calm — Vice Sect Master Yan had said so, if he fled like a stray dog, wouldn’t it sha his venerable face?
Thus, even though his heart was anxious and uneasy, the Yin Shen Palace had to walk slowly!
This was for Yan Nan’s face — making everyone see, that when Vice Sect Master Yan says sothing, there’s absolutely no danger to , so even if I’m showing off, no one dares to kill .
This secretly displayed the Vice Sect Master’s authority!
This was flattery!
But what the Yin Shen Palace hadn’t expected was that not a hundred miles out of the Divine Capital, he encountered an assassination attempt.
Two individuals in black clothing, faces covered, charged from both sides like ghosts, sword and blade striking in unison.
The clash between them instantly tore the space, the attack was of Saint Level!
The Yin Shen Palace imdiately felt death looming, faced with such an attack, he could only close his eyes and await death.
But... in the next mont.
A red shadow flashed.
Aunt Hong’s graceful silhouette appeared, her jade hands clapped to either side, emitting a green aura that exploded in brilliance.
With two muffled groans, two black shadows spat blood, turning into two black dots in the distance.
These two seed to have anticipated failure, prepared to flee, incredibly fast.
From the assault to the rescue, it was over in the blink of an eye for the Yin Shen Palace.
Aunt Hong landed, snorted: "Got off easy."
"Aunt Hong... thank you, Aunt Hong."
The Yin Shen Palace, with lingering fear.
Only now did cold sweat erge on his forehead, only then rembering to be afraid, almost collapsing to the ground.
"Go!"
Aunt Hong’s face was full of frost: "I want to see who dares along the way!"
Communicating with the Five Spirits Gu, taking out the Communication Jade, Aunt Hong sent a ssage, then put it away, saying: "Continue on your path."
After speaking, her figure flickered and disappeared.
The Yin Shen Palace stood alone in the wilderness, suddenly feeling his life was so insignificant.
When in the Southeast, as the sect master, he was considered a person who could call the wind and rain. But here, he felt so weak.
Directly turned into bait.
But he hardened his heart, bait it is, if you want to kill , co on.
If I die, it won’t be a loss for several families to go down with ; if I survive, I’ll draw you all out.
Thus, he continued on, still slow, passing through a life-and-death crisis, his ntal realm broadening, beco carefree, thinking that, after all, his life was not his own now, becoming more composed.
Even Aunt Hong, shadowing him, nodded approvingly.
This Yin Shen Palace, in appearance now, indeed has a few degrees of a Sect Hierarch’s deanor.
But neither the Yin Shen Palace nor Aunt Hong anticipated, that all the way down, over ten thousand miles out, the journey remained smooth and uneventful.
