Chapter 1421: Chapter 1380: Bully’s Behavior

“Everyone who has come to Jiangbei Provincial City, though you are cultivators, you engage in slaughter and debauchery, is it not somewhat dishonoring the forces behind you?

Please stop this violence and leave as soon as possible.”

The envoy entrusted with an important task by Han Qingci sighed softly, speaking helplessly, “If you leave now, the people’s minds can still be appeased. But if you continue to act unscrupulously, the aristocratic families of Jiangbei, and the Martial Gate in the provincial city, will take action.”

“Heh, such shameless boasting.”

The man with the Rakshasa Mask leading the group sneered coldly, filled with disdain in his voice, “We are cultivators of the Penglai Immortal Domain. We have come to the secular world this time to look for a person named Lu Chuan, who is a great enemy of our Penglai Immortal Domain!

Before taking his head back to the Penglai Immortal Domain, we will not go anywhere.

As for the evil deeds you mentioned? That is a load of crap!”

Upon saying this, the crowd led by the man with the Rakshasa Mask burst into laughter.

“They’re just ordinary people, not even worthy of being called despicable martial artists, born to serve us, so where’s the talk of committing evil?

Go back and tell your master, people from the Penglai Immortal Domain never compromise with anyone. If you want to stop us, either have your master come serve us personally or meet us blade to blade!”

“You! Are all people from the Penglai Immortal Domain as unreasonable and overbearing as you?”

“That’s right, the people of the Penglai Immortal Domain are all like me, is there a problem?”

The man with the Rakshasa Mask slowly got up, kicked the envoy appointed by Han Qingci, knocking him to the ground, and said coldly, “Now get back there! Repeat my words to your master!”

“Tyrant! This is sheer tyranny!”

“Didn’t you hear what I said? I told you to get back!”

…

“This should be the Taiyin Gate.”

Due to being buried underground for thousands of years, many buildings within the Imperial City have already weathered and decayed. The characters on the plaque of the Inner Gate are already blurred, but it seems this is the Taiyin Gate leading to the interior of the Imperial Palace.

Interestingly, on both sides of the Taiyin Gate, stands a jade toad statue. According to Yun Yan, the three-legged jade toad symbolizes the Taiyin, opposing the three-legged golden crow which symbolizes the sun.

“You are surprisingly particular, unexpectedly attentive to certain details.”

“Of course, at that time, I truly intended to transform the Royal City into a capital similar to Chang’an City, where not just the Demon Tribe could live, but humans too, with strict laws prohibiting any demons from harming humans residing in the Royal City.

Unfortunately, due to certain reasons later, this law was abolished.”

“Ah, was it because you started slaughtering humans to refine the Blood Pill?”

Yun Yan did not answer Lu Chuan’s question, but Lu Chuan felt that the so-called reasons were probably related to this matter.

Refining the Blood Pill is actually not rare. From the perspective of the Human Clan, some human powers often used the lives of the Demon Tribe to refine Blood Pills, and humans didn’t find this objectionable at all.

Similarly, as the Demon King, Yun Yan used humans to refine Blood Pills, from her perspective, there was nothing wrong with it, making it difficult to judge right or wrong.

“Entering the Inner City through the Taiyin Gate, passing through the Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple, you can enter the Imperial Palace. Most of the Demon Tribe’s treasures were in the Imperial Palace. However, after that calamity, how much remains, I am unsure of, you can only rely on your luck.”

“Understood, it’s basically an archaeological dig. But since the treasures have been taken by others, how can you be sure that the Twin Bracelets haven’t been taken by someone else?”

“Because I can sense that the Twin Bracelets are still within the Imperial Palace, though where exactly, I cannot perceive such details.”

“Alright, then we’ll just have to try our luck.”

Lu Chuan ceased talking, and under Miao Conglu’s guidance, the three of them crossed through the Taichang and Honglu Temples.

Unexpectedly, according to Yun Yan’s introduction, the functions of these temples were not much different from those of the court during the Tang Dynasty. Along the way, Lu Chuan saw many imitations of Chang’an City from the Tang Dynasty, which puzzled him even more.

“Yun Yan, do you particularly like the Tang Dynasty? Otherwise, why mimic it throughout the Demon Nation?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Not that there’s a problem, it just feels a bit odd. You likely have lived through more than just one dynasty, so why specifically the Tang Dynasty?”

“…I don’t want to answer that question, please don’t press further.”

Seeing Yun Yan give such an ambiguous answer only left Lu Chuan more perplexed.

But since it was something Yun Yan was unwilling to recall, Lu Chuan didn’t force the question.

Entering the Imperial Palace through the palace gates, Yun Yan introduced that, similar to the Taiji Palace in Chang’an City, the Royal Palace of the Demon Nation’s Royal City was called the Bagua Palace, with each hall constructed according to the directions of the Bagua symbols, and Yun Yan lived in the north at the Jade Phoenix Hall.

“So, where exactly is this Blood Pool you were talking about?”

Lu Chuan looked at Miao Conglu, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, seemingly breathless.

This was understandable, as the air in the Underground Palace was thin, and Miao Conglu, being a mortal, couldn’t hold his breath for as long as Lu Chuan could.

“It’s…under the secret palace beneath the Jade Ring Hall.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yan frowned slightly and countered, “The Blood Pool was obviously established inside the Jade Phoenix Hall, why do you say it’s within the Jade Ring Hall?”

“The information I received is that the Blood Pool is within the Jade Ring Hall, believe it or not.”

Seeing Miao Conglu’s calm demeanor, Lu Chuan was skeptical.

It was more credible that it was Yun Yan, who once inhabited the area and had created the Blood Pool.

But Miao Conglu’s expression showed no guilt at all, seemingly confident with some crucial evidence.

“Then let’s follow Miao Conglu’s words first, head to the Jade Ring Hall, and keep moving.”

“Wait a minute, before entering the Jade Ring Hall, we must first go to the Jade Pure Palace to get the Secret Plaque to open the Underground Palace.”

“Is it that complicated?”

Miao Conglu helplessly replied, “Then you have to ask those who built the palace back then, how would I know the reason?”

“You’re sure you’re not up to something, right?”

“Do you still refuse to believe me? We are already like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, what purpose would deceiving you serve except for invoking your displeasure? Can a weak woman like me, who can’t even truss a chicken, escape the Underground Palace alone?

Outside, so many people are eagerly eyeing the treasures within the palace. Once the barrier is broken, they will swarm in, and only you can protect me, taking me safely away.

If others discover my identity, they will likely kill me easily, so Lu Chuan, I beg you to put aside your distrust. For the sake of survival, and for me to no longer live a life of hiding in the future, I will not mix a single lie in this matter!”
