“You dare look down on our expert? If I let you escape today, I would spell my name backward!”
Ye Liuyun yelled in power. He was indescribably thrilled.
They were ready to die in battle since losing a few chess pieces was normal in a chess game. However, they did not expect the expert to have a hidden move. He was truly awesome.
‘The expert is truly an expert. I’m a man with a bigshot behind my back!’
The fire was as long as a dragon. It quickly surrounded the horrified Taiyi Golden Immortal. The Taiyi Golden Immortal burned to ash in despair.
The battle was soon over.
The area was destroyed. The Cloud Tribe Sect was also demolished to bits and ashes.
Daji slowly reclaimed the sculpture. She cupped it with her hands and looked at it with admiration.
Ziye looked at that sculpture bewilderingly. She asked, “This sculpture…was made by the expert?”
“Yeah.” Nodded Daji.
“So scary, this is invincible!” Xiao Chengfeng looked envious.
Urchin said, “Stop looking at it, this sculpture is not something that belongs to you.”
Xiao Chengfeng felt a sting in his heart. “I know that. But can’t I look at it?”
“Awesome. The sculpture is stronger than a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. What kind of treasure is that?” Immortal Linzhu stared at it with wide eyes. Then, she suddenly burst out crying.
“Boohoo, I ate all my delicious food. The worst thing in life is that you finished all your delicious food but you are still alive. Boohoo, I saved it up for a long time…”
As teammates, they should say something like, “Don’t cry, I’ll give you some of my delicious food.”
However, they were rational cultivators. More importantly, they did not want to say anything like that.
Therefore…they naturally changed the subject.
The Fire Phoenix asked, “Goddess Ziye, are you the Seventh Princess of the Heavenly Palace?”
“Yeah, sorry to hide my identity previously, it’s not on purpose. But it doesn’t matter anymore since the Heavenly Palace is gone.”
Ziye paused. She looked a bit sad. She said in a low voice, “I am adopted by the Queen of the Heavenly Palace. There are seven princesses in total, my siblings and I were all created from flowers or plants. Now, it’s just me.”
Ye Liuyun asked out of curiosity, “Then you should know a lot of secrets of the eldritch eras, right?”
Ziye shook her head and said, “All I know is from the expert’s ‘Journey to the West’. When the big tribulation occurred, I was just a puny Golden Immortal. I was weak and only knew limited things.”
Xiao Chengfeng looked like he did not want to speak.
She used ‘puny’ to describe Golden Immortal, that was a personal attack.
Daji said, “Goddess Ziye, you gathered us for the Heavenly Palace, right?”
“Yeah.” Ziye nodded. “I kept thinking about revisiting the Heavenly Palace. I’ve always felt like my six sisters are not dead yet. I know where the Heavenly Palace once was, but I need all of your help.”
The Fire Phoenix said, “No worries. We are all teammates, plus the expert always wanted to check out the Heavenly Palace.”
Daji touched her sculpture. She looked troubled. “I can only be with the expert later then. I wonder what the Master is doing right now.”
…
At the Immortal Realm.
Li Nianfan was riding on a Colorful Tiger.
The huge tiger was three meters tall. It was like a small building. Li Nianfan could see widely up there. It was nice.
Nanan and Dragin flew at the sides to guard Li Nianfan. They followed his directions. Nanan would discover the roads while Dragin protected at the side. If the situation was out of control, Blackie was responsible to protect Li Nianfan with its life.
The Colorful Tiger was quick as the wind. That was their fifth ride on the way.
They changed rides at each stop. They had already ridden on a bear, a tiger, a leopard, a wolf, and an elephant. Dragin and Nanan also killed demons on the road. Plus, the unique sceneries of the Immortal Realm were sights to behold. Li Nianfan felt that the trip was interesting and fulfilling.
“We are reaching Sapphire City.”
Li Nianfan looked upon the horizon. He stopped his leisure attitude because it was about to get real. They heard that Sapphire City was already a ghost town. It was very scary, they were unsure if there would be Onis.
The weather started to change as they went into the area. It was a sunny afternoon, but the sky was gloomy and dim. The sunlight went away and it was breezy. It felt depressing.
He reminded, “Nanan, be careful. Take notice of Onis. If the Onis are not here yet, we should find a safe spot to settle down. Don’t be casual about this.”
“Brother Nianfan, it’s easy. Check this out.” Nanan smiled and flew far away.
Li Nianfan once again felt like he was the Monk, he yelled, “Be careful. Also, don’t hurt the innocent…”
Nanan was out for a long while. She returned after slightly over an hour. She was grabbing a female ghost with a white shirt.
Nanan looked thrilled. She said, “Brother Nianfan, I’m back.”
The female ghost with a white shirt dropped to the ground. She looked like she was in despair. She cried, “Sir, please spare my life, woo—”
Nanan lifted her and slapped her twice. The ghost was instantly quiet.
“Why are you whining? Stop pretending to be pitiful, I’ll hit you again if I have to!”
Li Nianfan suddenly felt a déjà vu. If he was the Monk, that would be an excerpt story.
“My evil student, how can you be so rude? My dear lady, are you alright?”
Too bad he was not the Monk.
“Where did you get her?” asked Li Nianfan.
Nanan smirked. She said in a smart voice, “Hehe, I pretended to be a lost kid, crying loud on the streets. She took the bait. She was so evil, she tried to eat me.”
“Sir, I didn’t. I wasn’t. She is falsely blaming me! Woo—”
“Ghostly nonsense. Nanan, shut her up.”
“Slap.”
She was quiet.
Li Nianfan would be a fool to trust the female ghost.
Li Nianfan looked at her and said, “Answer our questions properly, we’ll let you return to the Underworld safely. You won’t get your soul shattered.”
“Dragin, cast a spell!”
“Alright, brother.” Dragin smiled. She cast a spell on the female ghost, “Water Smoke Spell. If you lie, the bubbly water on you will be very sensitive and hot.”
“What is your name?”
“I am Ruby.”
“Where are you from?”
“Sap… Sapphire City.”
“How’s the situation in Sapphire City?”
“The ghosts are, most, mostly gone.”
Sizzle.
Bubbly steam appeared on her. She was shaking from the burns.
“Argh— I’m sorry.”
The ghost frantically screamed. She said, “Sapphire City is filled with ghosts. I heard that the Onis arrived. The Ghost King is forming an army. A lot of ghosts were scared so they escape from there.”
“Can the Ghost King win against the Onis?”
“That… I don’t know.”
Li Nianfan frowned. He felt that the situation was not good. It would be nice if the Fire Phoenix was with him.
‘Safety first. Safety first.’
He reminded himself.
“How far is the Sapphire City from here?”
“Less than ten miles.”
Li Nianfan waved. “Alright, go back to the Underworld.”
The ghost jolted. She seemed unwilling but she just bowed and left in the end. The Immortal Realm was too interesting, she did not want to leave!
If a ghost was killed, that meant they were gone for good. They would not have a chance to reincarnate. Li Nianfan was naturally not that cruel.
“Next up, stay beside me, you two. Don’t go away.”
Li Nianfan was serious. Nanan and Dragin nodded. They continued forward.
More ghosts started to appear after a few miles. Their surrounding aura was getting darker and creepier. Ghost Fire appeared from time to time. They could hear howls and cries from afar. It was unsettling.
Li Nianfan jumped down from the Colorful Tiger, “Big tiger, go.”
The Colorful Tiger was too huge. It was too eye-catching. They also did not need a ride anymore.
“Roar.” It growled softly. It leaned down and rubbed its head on Li Nianfan. It did not want to go.
Li Nianfan patted the tiger. “Go. Be careful on your own.”
The ride was quivering in fear when it was captured. However, after tasting the delicious food, it started to play its role obediently.
Of course. They had never tasted food that delicious before. They must have thought they were in luck.
