Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1386 - 40 Breaking the Ban_2

At this moment,

"I, Yuanci Palace, have treated your Yun Clan well, yet you actually colluded with the Nine Great Families..."

Mage Xianyu’s figure floated down in front of Yun Shu, and in his gaze toward her, there was a trace of disdain and disgust.

Hearing Mage Xianyu’s words, the anger and unwillingness in Yun Shu’s eyes faded, replaced by a cold sneer and jeer:

"Well-treated? Hah! When haven’t we been begging like dogs before Yuanci Palace for just a bit of Cultivation resources? This is your idea of well-treated?"

"Only the people of Yuanci Palace are considered human, and we are not?"

Her body could not move, yet there was no hint of the previous groveling before the opponent; instead, there was an added touch of pride.

Mage Xianyu fell silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Without Yuanci Palace’s unified cultivation, management, and distribution of these resources, you wouldn’t even have the chance to cultivate. Now that you are clearly benefiting, you still blame us, indeed the heart of man is insatiable."

Yun Shu scoffed:

"Who gave you such power to arbitrate over Cultivation resources?"

"To trample everyone outside Yuanci Palace underfoot like dogs?"

"If giving us resources means being a dog, then I would rather not have them!"

Mage Xianyu looked deeply into her eyes, and in her pupils, he only saw stubbornness and anger.

He couldn’t help but sigh again:

"This is just your opinion, but it might not necessarily reflect the thoughts of those behind you... Besides, there’s no need to make it sound so righteous. You don’t hate us for being able to distribute Cultivation resources at will, you just hate yourself for not being one of the Yuanci Palace people."

Yun Shu was abruptly stunned.

"I, I hate myself for not being one of the Yuanci Palace?"

A few more hints of self-doubt appeared in her eyes.

Mage Xianyu looked at Yun Shu with pity and then asked:

"Anything else you want to say? If not, I will send you to be detained in the Palace."

Yun Shu came back to her senses and subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Daoist Yuanci.

A complex expression:

"Mage Liang, how, how did you realize it?"

Not far away in the mid-air.

The Formation Spiritual Light turned into ropes that slowly tightened, revealing the indifferent face of Daoist Yuanci.

His expression was calm:

"Did that even need to be realized?"

This answer immediately made Yun Shu stumble.

However, as she saw the ropes on Daoist Yuanci’s body not completely unravelled, she couldn’t help but burst into mocking laughter.

Daoist Yuanci’s expression remained unmoved.

Mage Xianyu, however, slightly frowned:

"What are you laughing at?"

Yun Shu’s smile vanished, and she looked at Daoist Yuanci with a touch of ice-cold mockery:

"Heh, I’m laughing at him for being a dog for your Yuanci Palace, but it’s a pity that it was all in vain. Your Yuanci Palace’s people only trust themselves and do not trust him!"

Mage Xianyu fell silent immediately.

Daoist Yuanci still replied with an indifferent face:

"The mage needn’t worry about that."

Then he turned to look at Mage Xianyu:

"I ask not for the trust of the Palace Master, I only wish to fulfill the request of elder Yuchen. Please convey the message on my behalf."

Mage Xianyu was silent for a while before nodding her head:

"After I perform the Soul Search on you to ensure there are no mistakes, I will personally escort you into the Palace."

Hearing this, Daoist Yuanci’s brows could not help but furrow.

While Yun Shu once again burst into loud laughter, even laughing so hard she was gasping for breath:

"Ha-ha, see, see? This is Yuanci Palace! You just aided Yuanci Palace, yet they are still wary of you!"

Daoist Yuanci seemed to ignore it, looking at Mage Xianyu with a frown:

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Mage Xianyu no longer hid her attitude, and the ropes around Daoist Yuanci slightly tightened.

She said in a deep voice:

"Please forgive me, Mage Liang, but the situation inside the Palace is too dangerous at the moment. Mage Xianyu has no choice but to do this. If after my Soul Search it turns out you are innocent, Mage Xianyu will bow down and beg for your forgiveness!"

With that said, without a moment’s hesitation, the ropes around Daoist Yuanci swiftly tightened again.

She reached out towards the brow of Daoist Yuanci.

Daoist Yuanci’s face was unchanged.

But hearing Mage Xianyu’s words, his heart suddenly stirred.

He couldn’t help but wonder:

"Could it be the Class V Saint Mages of your palace are no longer within?"

Upon hearing Daoist Yuanci’s words, Mage Xianyu’s face suddenly changed drastically!

The palm reaching out towards Daoist Yuanci also immediately quickened its pace.

Yun Shu also couldn’t help but shiver all over, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes!

A godsend opportunity, yet she had actually failed to seize it.

Seeing this, Daoist Yuanci couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.

He no longer persisted.

As the noose’s tightening force grew increasingly strong, before Mage Xianyu’s palm could touch his brow, his body instantly dissipated into a wisp of blue smoke and vanished.

Seeing this scene, both Mage Xianyu and Yun Shu were stunned.

"It’s actually a spell?!"

At the same moment.

Far away in the sky outside Yuanci Palace.

The figure of Daoist Yuanci slowly emerged, his brows deeply furrowed.

"Has Yuanci Palace actually become this weak? Is there really not a single Divinity Transformation cultivator inside now?"

"It shouldn’t be the case, even if the other Divinity Transformation cultivators are absent, the Three Saints of Yuanci Palace should be there."

"Moreover, the Formation of Yuanci Palace isn’t too large but isn’t small either; even a Divinity Transformation cultivator presiding over it would find it somewhat laborious, yet there is only Xianyu Hu here and no one else... Has Yuanci Palace indeed become a shell?"

"But if this place is vacant, then where exactly is the real Yuanci Palace?"

It’s not that he was solely eager to collaborate with Yuanci Palace, but rather the situation in Zhongsheng Continent had already become extremely clear.

The old faction led by Yuanci Palace and the new faction led by the Nine Great Families.

He had already interacted with the latter before, and it was not pleasant; now, his only hope was on Yuanci Palace.

As for what Yun Shu had just said about being a dog or not, he actually didn’t care.

To go into detail, Xianyu Hu didn’t trust him, and gratitude was met with enmity.

But he had also saved Yun Shu, although it now seems likely it was a play performed for Yuanci Palace, yet he got involved halfway through.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

But didn’t Yun Shu also turn around and sell him out in the same manner?

This just proves what Mage Xianyu had said, Yun Shu’s hatred was not towards the people of Yuanci Palace, but rather she hated not being one of Yuanci Palace’s own.

Crows are black everywhere; there’s no need to fuss over these.

Moreover, his goal was only to find a solution to the Membrane Eye of Eightfold Sea and the corresponding special spirit materials from the Zhongsheng Continent.

"Yuanci Palace has hit a temporary standstill."

Daoist Yuanci pondered in his heart:

"I can only take one step at a time."

"I wonder if Qin Lingxiao, Brother Xiang, and Taoist Friend Rui have found any clues."

...

In a rarely traversed foothill.

Yuanci force was rampantly permeating.

Enshrouded by a great fog.

Almost unable to discern the shapes within.

Amidst the fog, ravens could be heard mourning intermittently.

At the same time, figures shuttled back and forth.

"Search for me!"

"Somebody had seen traces of the Holy Fruit here just a while ago! The Holy Fruit is spirited but is nearing maturity, it can’t have gone far!"

"Whoever finds it will be rewarded with ten bottles of Fourth-grade Treasure Pills!"

Encouragement was hard to carry far under the influence of the Yuanci force.

Thus, the person could only keep calling out to the surroundings.

And right at the bottom of this mountain foothill.

Two figures with weakening auras were traveling through the heavy fog with difficulty, side by side.

They scanned their surroundings vigilantly.

There was no path here, but where the two had passed, one could occasionally see human bodies with tragic deaths scattered around.

One of the figures finally couldn’t bear it:

"I wonder how Daoist Yuanci and Brother Qin are doing now... Taoist Friend Rui, we’ve been walking for so long, how come we haven’t left this mountain yet? Didn’t you say you were sure of a way out?"

The other figure looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes and no longer the gentle demeanor from before, frowning and saying:

"Who could know this? Yuanci is everywhere, more so the higher you go... If we try to fly up, we won’t have time to fly out before probably falling to our deaths like these people! Without flight, we can only walk slowly."

These two figures were none other than Xiang Sirui and Rui Chunqiu.

Hearing this, Xiang Sirui couldn’t help but look around:

"What place is this? Your magic treasure broke through that strange Wind, yet brought us here..."

"Are you blaming me now?"

Rui Chunqiu retorted angrily.

Xiang Sirui snorted: "Where did that come from? If not for your magic treasure, who knows where it could have taken us!"
