Chapter 655: 655 Eternal Female Prime Minister, Farewell Shenzhou [1st update]

This is a woman, dressed in the Prime Minister’s official attire, with a tall and straight posture, like a green pine in the snow.

The heavy snow falls on the green pine, and the pine stands straight and firm. [Note 1]

Ye Wanlan’s eyes suddenly warmed up, with scalding tears falling in an instant, she blurted out: "Teacher!"

This figure, who else could it be if not the Eternal Female Prime Minister, Shen Mingshu?

In Ye Wanlan’s memory, although Shen Mingshu appeared cold on the outside, her heart was warm.

Every time Han Yunsheng punished her, Shen Mingshu would always accompany her.

Looking back to history three hundred years ago, a generation of Female Prime Ministers was full of chains, insulted by enemies; how could she not hate them?

"Ah——"

"Aah!"

The light emitted by the Mingyue Token grew even more massive, and the puppet corpses it shone on let out tragic screams, collapsing one after another.

Soon, they lost any ability to move, turning into real corpses.

However, after the light dissipated, Shen Mingshu also disappeared.

With a "clap", the Mingyue Token fell to the ground.

The fresh blood dripped by Ye Wanlan was absorbed entirely, and the jade remained clear and bright.

Qingyun Pendant was shocked and pale: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, did I see wrong? Was that Minister Shen just now, but how come Minister Shen is gone?!"

"Here." Ye Wanlan picked up the Mingyue Token and said slowly, "Teacher’s power is insufficient, so she returned to the Mingyue Token again."

The Heart Protecting Bracelet was somewhat curious: "Minister Shen’s situation seems different from that of the Sword Saints."

"Yes, Teacher is not a Military Officer and does not integrate her soul with her weapons like Senior Brother and Yingyue." Ye Wanlan gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, she whispered, "Her soul was preserved, indeed..."

This was also the last thing Han Yunsheng could do for Shen Mingshu.

Three hundred years later, let the Mingyue Token resurface to the world, let the Eternal Female Prime Minister see Shenzhou again.

Ye Wanlan closed her eyes, feeling her heartbeat.

Now it seems that Shen Mingshu’s situation is the best.

How to nurture the soul, Ye Wanlan knows what method to use.

After leaving the Southern Ming Principality, she plans to visit the Penglai Observatory.

Ye Wanlan carefully picked up the Mingyue Token and kept it close to her body.

After completing all this, she finally had the energy to check the things in this cave.

Besides the puppet corpses, there were also some murals and inscriptions here.

Ye Wanlan approached and picked up a stone tablet placed on the stone bed.

"Xiao Wan."

At this moment, a voice came from behind her, carrying a slight urgency in its breath.

"Tingting?" Ye Wanlan turned around, startled, "How did you get here?"

"Although you had planned ahead, I also believed you could solve it." Yan Tingfeng nodded slightly at her, blinking gently, "But I personally still wasn’t reassured, so I came along with the rescue team to find you."

"This place is too deep, the rescue team couldn’t come, only you could find me." Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows, "But it’s indeed timely, Tingting, come take a look."

Yan Tingfeng obediently moved forward and then leaned down.

Upon seeing the words on the stone tablet, his beautiful phoenix eyes squinted slightly: "Gui Qing?"

"According to some historical records provided by the Huo Family, Gui Qing was the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch who, several hundred years ago, was hunted down by all Six Great Sects after succumbing to his inner demons." Ye Wanlan said, "He fled to the Southern Ming Principality, the chase stopped, and later, he took some apprentices in the Southern Ming Principality to be his heirs."

Actually, Ye Wanlan didn’t learn these things from Huo Yunyi’s words.

Several hundred years ago, the affair of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch Gui Qing caused a great stir, with widespread influence.

After all, as the Supreme Martial Arts Master meant to maintain the entire Jianghu, he succumbed to his inner demons himself, becoming a killing demon.

So, although Ye Wanlan hadn’t been born at that time, she frequently heard about this Jianghu event growing up.

It is said that if not for the Six Great Sects joining forces to repel Gui Qing, even the Imperial Court would have been forced to take action. This shows how powerful Gui Qing was.

And as the second Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch after Gui Qing, Yan Tingfeng was naturally very familiar with this name.

After all, he was once considered to be someone who could become like Gui Qing, chased by countless people in the Jianghu, who wanted to eliminate him before he grew up.

Yan Tingfeng lowered his eyelashes, speaking softly: "Looks like this was one of his cultivation places."

"Correct." Ye Wanlan nodded lightly, "These seventeen puppet corpses were also refined by him in those years."

Puppet corpses are very evil, but Penglai Magic coincidentally possesses a strong purifying power.

Under the light of Art and Method, these puppet corpses also turned into normal corpses.

"Search here carefully." Yan Tingfeng’s eyes deepened, "Perhaps we can find something important."

Ye Wanlan smiled: "That’s exactly my intention."

The two began to search the stone-cave diligently.

**

At this moment, above ground.

The rescue operation was still underway, and excavation machines were still mobilized in numbers, but Ye Wanlan’s traces were yet to be found.

Even the life feature detectors failed to detect any sign of life.

Those searching for Ye Wanlan all knew that she had likely been buried deep. If delayed another few hours, not even deities could save her!

Professor Xue knew Yan Tingfeng had found Ye Wanlan, and he felt relieved.

But upon seeing a smile on Jin Wuzheng’s face, he couldn’t hold back: "Jin, why are you smiling? Why are your people so useless?"

"Brother Xue, I also care deeply about your beloved student’s life and death. As someone from the Southern Ming Principality, I understand this principle." Jin Wuzheng shook his head, "But I won’t lie to you, I am more concerned about the Mingyue Token’s whereabouts."

Professor Xue coldly looked at him and said nothing because he knew what Jin Wuzheng said wasn’t false.

"Brother Xue, think of it this way, if she sacrificed her life to protect the Mingyue Token, it would be a worthy sacrifice." Jin Wuzheng further said, "We who study history and archeology often dedicate our lives to our work."

"That’s bullshit!" This time, Professor Xue was so angry that he cursed, "I’ll put it this way, not even the Prince Yan’s Sword compares to Wanlan in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Wuzheng’s face changed drastically: "Xue, you’d better not speak recklessly!"

In the realm of historical artifacts, those related to Yan Wang Hejia and Princess Yongning Xiang Lan held the highest value.

Not to mention Prince Yan’s Sword, which is a personal weapon.

Jin Wuzheng coldly sneered: "Do you think your student is Princess Yongning? I think you’re crazy!"
