Chapter 469: Chapter 48 Oh [Ask for Monthly Ticket!] _1
"It’s settled like this?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised when they arrived at the White Bone Palace. When Chu Liang came to negotiate with the old Prime Minister, they were ready to rush to his rescue at any time.
He actually managed to negotiate it smoothly.
These were ghosts with obsessions that had lasted for hundreds of years!
Did they really negotiate with you based on sentiments and worldly wisdom?
Chu Liang laughed, "Thanks to the old Prime Minister’s deep understanding, he knows that thwarting the Demonic Clan’s conspiracy should be prioritized at the moment."
The old Prime Minister’s face carried no smile, however, as if he still held a grudge against the bunch of rebels. He only turned around, waved his sleeves and said, "Follow me."
Schmoozing was not exactly Chu Liang’s strong suit.
But after so long, having neither eaten Lin Bei’s meat nor seen Lin Bei run, he had learned some tricks on how to communicate in interpersonal relationships.
Pulling in acquaintances, telling stories... In short, the goal was to quickly break the ice and get to a level without hostility.
As for the negotiation of all sorts of conditions, that was what Chu Liang was best at.
After agreeing to some conditions, the former Prime Minister also agreed to open the door to the next level of dream for them.
Very quickly, he led everyone to the jade casket.
The casket was filled with luminous aura, and lying there was the small Emperor who had been asleep for hundreds of years.
Although born into royalty, he ascended to the throne reluctantly when he was only six years old due to it being the end of his dynasty, and then he wandered around the world. To be honest, he was just an unfortunate child.
The old Prime Minister waved his sleeve, and the lid of the jade casket slowly slid open, releasing the brilliant light inside, which reflected an arc light in the air.
Inside the arc light, there was faintly a portal.
"This level is His Majesty’s dreamscape. When you enter it, please be very careful and don’t disturb His Majesty," advised the old Prime Minister.
Everyone agreed, and then one by one they dove into the light, and their figures disappeared in an instant.
Chu Liang was the last to go.
When it was his turn, the old Prime Minister added, "I hope you can keep your promise."
"Rest assured, old Prime Minister," Chu Liang said. "Since I promised, I will not go back on my word."
"Good." The old Prime Minister nodded lightly.
Chu Liang then leapt forward, stepping into the arc light.
Whoosh—
The light flashed, and the scene in front of him brightened immediately.
It was a paradise with mountains and clear waters. The strange thing was, all the birds and animals seemed to be asleep, maintaining their fixed postures without moving.
It was the mountain peak that Chu Liang and the rest had visited earlier.
Normally, if they crossed the Dream Abyss, they should arrive at the first tier of the dreamscape. The fact that they had fallen into the lower dream earlier probably had to do with the chaos in the Dream Abyss back then.
Based on their previous experience, if they stayed here for a certain amount of time, their souls might be sucked into the Immortal Dream... Chu Liang now guessed that they would probably fall into the lower dream.
But the cultivation of everyone present was generally stronger than last time, so they were not too worried about this. Instead, under Chu Liang’s guidance, they hurried towards the group of palaces at the peak of the mountain.
Very quickly, they arrived at a white square that was a hundred feet in radius, on which was a complicated Heavenly Five Elements Formation.
Last time, South Route Guide kidnapped Luo Yao and threatened Chu Liang and Pu Shan with her life, forcing them to break the formation. As a result, the two of them combined their efforts and still couldn’t even take a few steps into it...
But this time it was different.
Yan Qihu took the lead and strode in.
The formation rang loudly all around him, but it failed to move him at all. Everyone followed him closely, not really afraid of the formation.
Never mind them, only Chu Liang himself, should have no issues breaking through this formation now.
Boom——
He broke through the formations all the way and stopped before the palace gate.
Within the main hall, a thin figure sat with its back to them. At this moment, Second Lady Gu, who was repressing her emotions, could no longer hold back. She sidestepped everyone and quickly stepped forward, reaching out to steady herself on the palace door.
"Qing Yuan——" Her voice reached them first, already tinged with a note of tearful sorrow.
After thirty years of waiting, thirty years of searching, she had finally found the one she had thought of day and night. Countless emotions piled up, and finally burst forth like a flood.
Immediately.
At her sorrowful cry, the figure slowly turned around... revealing a familiar old face that smiled, "Second Lady?"
...
"Mr. Wei, what on earth are you doing sitting here?"
"And with your back to the door, at least face the entrance to avoid misunderstandings."
"Indeed, wasting all of Thirteenth Auntie’s emotions."
"..."
It turns out that the person sitting with their back to the room was none other than Great Confucian Scholar Wei Lang of the Scholar’s Academy, who had become separated from the group earlier.
This was an open hall similar to an Imperial Palace, with the Dragon Chair above vacant. Wei Lang had been sitting in the center of the hall all this while, which led to the others mistaking him as one of the residents of this secret realm.
"There was a cushion here, so I didn’t think much of it." Wei Lang scratched his head awkwardly.
Second Lady Gu looked a bit stunned. Just as her surging emotions were about to erupt, they had been abruptly halted. It was clear that she was caught off guard and didn’t know how to react.
It seemed that Wei Lang had not expected to get an earful just for sitting for a while.
A moment later, everyone started asking him about his experiences during this time.
It had been almost a day and a night since he fell into the Dream Abyss, and the old man couldn’t have been sitting here the whole time.
Wei Lang sighed heavily, "The situation here is not good."
"Hmm?" They asked, "Mr. Wei, what do you mean?"
"Look at what’s outside the abyss..." Wei Lang pointed with his hand.
Everyone turned to look, only then did they notice that the originally transparent barrier outside the Dream Abyss had turned completely white. It was as if it had been tightly wrapped in a dense cocoon.
"I’ve tried, but I can’t break this restriction with my own strength," Wei Lang said. "I’ve met another Confucian cultivator here, who told me that a highly skilled demon queen once came here and sealed the whole Dream Abyss. The storm we encountered also arose because of her. Now, we are all trapped here, and no information can get out."
His words were met with slight silence.
Previously, they had guessed that Cai Yi might be a Giant Demon from the Eighth Realm. Thus, no one thought of confronting her. They all hoped to escape and find a stronger cultivator to deal with her.
It seemed that she had predicted this, sealing the entire Dream Abyss in advance.
How could they break the seal made by a Giant Demon from the Eighth Realm?
For a moment, no one had any confidence.
Even Yan Qihu of the Heavenly Gang Sect, despite his arrogance, did not dare to make such a bold claim.
At this moment, another call came from the entrance of the hall, "Lianhua!"
Turning around, they saw a young man in a green scholar robe with a handsome face. Who else could it be but Gu Qing Yuan, whom Chu Liang had met before?
He looked at Second Lady Gu, looked at his long-awaited love who had always been there for him for the past thirty years, his overflowing emotions could no longer be suppressed, and his call was already tinged with a cry!
Second Lady Gu: "Ah."
