Chapter 1036: Chapter 1037: The Last Person to Walk Out of the Imperial Palace

“Hey! Could they have taken the money and run away?”

“There’s only one entrance to the Imperial Palace; they shouldn’t have run off elsewhere.”

“Then why haven’t they co out yet? Could it be that they already know we’re lying in wait here?”

“Only two people entered the Emperor’s Palace, without anyone telling them, how could they know?”

“True! Ugh, it’s frustrating not knowing if we’ll get any at.”

…

The cultivators waiting near the city gate were very impatient, in an extrely foul mood, unsure if what they were doing was right.

anwhile, inside the Emperor’s Palace, Mu Xueqing, who had been sitting in the Great Dou Crown devoutly cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes.

Although she had been devoutly cultivating, she had never forgotten the passage of ti.

Counting the ti, today was the last day before the small world’s reopening; in just over twenty hours, she could leave here. If she missed the opportunity, she might be trapped here forever.

While here, you could rely on the rich spiritual energy to beco strong, but you would have to live alone afterwards; so it’s a choice to be made.

For Mu Xueqing, of course she wanted to leave; because outside were her family and friends, and the fierce competition that would help her grow.

Besides, she didn’t like the idea of staying alone in a stable world until old age, it’d be too lonely, life would have no aning.

All these reasons forced her to urgently consider the ti needed to return from the Fifth Layer Palace to outside the palace.

The crucial point was whether she could remove the bronze key from the door; if not, she would have to rely on her own strength to slowly push against the palace’s pressure and walk out step by step.

This would surely take a lot of her ti, and it was uncertain whether she could exit the palace within a day.

So she imdiately flew out of the “Great Dou Crown” and ca to the front of the Emperor’s Palace gate, preparing to attempt pulling out the bronze key.

She gave it a tug and found that it wouldn’t budge; then she used all her strength and exerted herself to the fullest, but still couldn’t pull it out.

This made her even more anxious.

“Could it be that once inserted, it was confiscated by the palace?”

She couldn’t think of any other reason.

Both keys were still on the door, indicating that Lin Yifan might not have co out from the underground chamber yet; plus, she hadn’t sensed anyone coming up from below while in the Great Dou Crown.

This was puzzling, she couldn’t help but wonder: “Could that bastard be dead? Or is he trapped inside? Or perhaps he escaped through another secret passage?”

Regardless of the reason, the dilemma before Mu Xueqing was whether to leave this pressure-filled palace imdiately.

The ti left for her was not much; she had to manage it well.

After a fierce internal struggle, she decided it was better to give up waiting.

She didn’t want to stay here and grow old with Lin Yifan; besides, she didn’t know if Lin Yifan was dead or alive. If she ended up spending her life here with a dead man, she would be a fool.

Thus, she braved the imnse pressure and stepped out of the Emperor’s Palace, heading toward the city gate.

Upon stepping out, she was in excruciating pain, feeling as if she were carrying a mountain, unable to move a step.

Despite the hardship, she was determined to leave here with all her might.

These days cultivating in the Great Dou Crown, her strength had greatly improved; without the small world’s realm suppression, she might have reached the Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage.

So, compared to the hardships of the past few days, she felt much more at ease today.

Although the distance from the gates of the Emperor’s Palace to the city gate of the Fifth Layer Palace was less than two hundred ters, Mu Xueqing took seven or eight hours just to walk out of the Fifth Layer Palace.

This already exceeded her expected ti; she knew she couldn’t take as long in the Fourth Layer Palace.

The pressure of each palace layer differed, getting lighter further out.

Upon entering the Fourth Layer Palace, Mu Xueqing felt a lot better, though it was still strenuous.

After several more hours, she finally exited the Fourth Layer Palace.

At this point, about fourteen hours had passed, leaving only a few hours until the small world reopened, urging her to speed up.

The pressure of the Third Layer Palace was much less compared to the Fourth Layer Palace; she spent about four hours exiting it.

In the Second Layer Palace, it only took her about two hours.

In the final layer, the largest of the palaces, she barely felt any pressure.

Yet with her battered body, extrely weak, it took her an hour to step out of the last palace layer.

Upon reaching outside the palace, she was utterly exhausted.

Just as she thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, countless “hungry wolves” were advancing nacingly toward her.

The cultivators who had been waiting near the city gate for a long ti finally caught sight of the “rabbit.” Now, they could have a grand showdown.

Seeing Mu Xueqing erge from the palace, the most excited yet anxious people were undoubtedly the disciples of the Wudang Sect; because whoever held out until the end ant they got the treasure inside the Emperor’s Palace.

There was no sign of that bastard behind Mu Xueqing, suggesting he was likely killed by her.

Before Mu Xueqing willingly entered the Fifth Layer Palace, the Wudang Sect disciples had suspected she had a plan; unexpectedly, it was true, though whether she maintained her chastity was unclear.

Their most desired outco was for Mu Xueqing to have obtained the treasure without losing her virtue.

The three disciples of the Wudang Sect quickly reached Mu Xueqing’s side and helped her up from the ground, expressing their concern: “Junior Sister! How did you get so badly injured? Was it that bastard’s doing?”

“No… no, it was… it was the palace’s… pressure,” Mu Xueqing gasped weakly in reply.

“Did you get the ring?” asked the Wudang Sect disciples, full of anticipation.

They believed she must have gotten it.

However, Mu Xueqing’s response took them by surprise.

“No… I didn’t.”

“What!”

The news was like a thunderclap, catching everyone off guard.

Mu Xueqing hadn’t obtained the ring; then who did? Was it the disciple from dicinal Saint Valley?

They refused to believe it; after all, it was Mu Xueqing who erged last from the palace, not the disciple from dicinal Saint Valley. If the ring had been found, it could only be on Mu Xueqing.

They suspected Mu Xueqing’s statent was an attempt to divert attention and deceive them to avoid harm.

Determined not to be deceived, they decided not to be fooled by Mu Xueqing’s apparent misery.

Surrounding her, they prepared to rob Mu Xueqing.
