Chapter 755: 755 Saintess Assists! [1st update]

"Boom!"

At the same time, a vast energy exploded, stirring up a gale.

He Xi seemed to have anticipated this, dodging in time.

But the flowers, trees, rockeries, and bridges around the water pavilion weren’t so fortunate. In an instant, they were torn apart by the energy, reduced to dust.

"Such a pity, such a beautiful zither, destroyed by Miss Zhuge," He Xi shook his head and sighed, "but for me, it’s a lucky thing to witness Miss Zhuge’s true strength."

Indeed, Lin Shiyuan had concealed her cultivation.

Not to mention the peers of the Five Great Families, even those Offering Elders likely didn’t have cultivation as high as Lin Shiyuan.

But now, she was only twenty-six years old.

Even if she started cultivating at one year old, could she achieve in twenty-odd years what others take nearly a century to reach?

There was a probing look in He Xi’s eyes.

"He Xi, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying such things?" Lin Shiyuan’s gaze was as cold as a blade, "Princess Yongning died three hundred years ago, and at your level, surely you know that after reincarnation, she’s not the same person."

After death, the soul returns to chaos, those energies are reorganized by Heaven and Earth, and reused.

"Yes, Miss Zhuge said that after reincarnation, it’s not the same person," He Xi smiled slightly, "but, what if she never reincarnated or transformed?"

The murderous intent in Lin Shiyuan’s eyes nearly became tangible: "Are you joking with me?"

Everyone knows this doesn’t conform to the principles.

How can the laws of Heaven and Earth be shaken by humans?

"It seems even the Female Zhuge in the capital is trapped by conventional thinking," He Xi chuckled, "Princess Yongning carried the fate of the entire Daning Dynasty, no matter how much more hardship she endured than others, can she really die so easily?"

Lin Shiyuan’s fingernails had deeply embedded into the wooden body of the zither, veins bulging on her hand, and cold sweat was seeping from her smooth forehead.

"The Tower Master has confirmed that Xiang Lan is still alive," He Xi continued, "The Tower Master met Princess Yongning and saw her act; does Miss Zhuge still need to doubt?"

Lin Shiyuan’s hand trembled, barely containing her long-suppressed emotions.

After a long, long silence, she finally said, "Fine, I can meet your condition and hand Princess Yongning over to you, but you must tell me what she looks like now."

Princess Yongning must have hidden herself, otherwise, how would Lin Shiyuan have not discovered her?

"I’m sorry, even the Tower Master doesn’t know where she exactly is," He Xi sighed, "but one thing is certain, she rescued Yuan Yiming from the International Strategic Studies Institute. You might investigate where Yuan Yiming is now."

"I understand." Lin Shiyuan slowly exhaled and closed her eyes, "You’re right, anyone can live, but Princess Yongning must die."

Otherwise, her dream of unifying Shenzhou would be extinguished.

"Then I look forward to Miss Zhuge’s good news," He Xi smiled meaningfully, "Once Miss Zhuge becomes the master of Shenzhou, she can toast with the Tower Master."

Lin Shiyuan said nothing.

She intended to use Heaven-reaching Tower’s power to eliminate Princess Yongning, but that didn’t mean she stood with Heaven-reaching Tower.

Her ambition was vast, yet Shenzhou must also be the Shenzhou of the People of Shenzhou.

After He Xi departed, Lin Shiyuan instructed the Hidden Guard to replace her zither.

"Do you truly believe her words that Princess Yongning is alive?" the voice questioned, "This is utterly impossible."

"She was right; I’m stuck in outdated thinking," Lin Shiyuan calmly said, "Who says rules have to be unchanging? Moreover, Princess Yongning is indeed quite special."

The voice fell silent.

"As long as it aligns with my plan, I will proceed." Lin Shiyuan’s gaze was chilling, "Prepare, and act ahead."

In the airspace of the Global Center, a plane was en route to the main city.

In the end, after hearing about the Transcendent Woman, Yue Zheng didn’t stay in the Rong Family but instead went with Ye Wanlan to the Global Center.

"Time Administration Bureau?" Yue Zheng evidently heard this name for the first time, pondering, "Though I’ve never heard of it, I know the cosmos is vast, and surely there are forces observing every small world."

She was indeed infinitely close to being an Immortal, thus able to sense more things beyond the sky.

Yue Zheng had long felt that the sky was merely a thin barrier for her, and if she could break it, she could become a true Immortal.

As recorded in ancient books, "Become one with the sun and moon, and return to the void," the ultimate peak of all cultivation systems—Unity of Heaven and Man.

If she could cultivate to this realm, she could roam the universe freely.

However, Yue Zheng had been trapped at this step for decades, unable to make a breakthrough.

"As the Saintess said, the Time Administration Bureau observes every small world?" Ye Wanlan pondered, "So that’s why so many Time Punishers are hunting me?"

"I speculate their mission is to correct timelines and world deviations," Yue Zheng nodded, "but managing time is indeed incredible."

"There’s nothing incredible about it," Ye Wanlan said calmly, "After all, I was able to return to Shenzhou and even went to another world, which defies common logic."

Yue Zheng smiled, "Indeed, everything in the world follows its destined path, and one must allow nature to take its course."

An hour later, the plane landed at the Extreme Path Headquarters.

"I’ll first check on my friend." Ye Wanlan jumped off the plane, "Then I’ll go to the Si Family, who wanted the Su Family to send someone to treat their young lady; Xueqing has arranged things for us."

"Friend? Is it the Xiao Yan that Elder Rong mentioned?" Yue Zheng raised an eyebrow, her smile deepening, "I thought Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn’t have any romantic feelings, how narrow-minded of me."

"I’m not a god; how could I not have romantic feelings?" Ye Wanlan’s expression remained calm, not denying it, "But you and I both know I have responsibilities to bear."

Yue Zheng fell silent.

Just like her role as the Penglai Saintess, even if there were feelings of love, she had to sever them all.

"Boss!" The Right Protector ran out happily, "Boss, I’ve missed you. You’re finally back!"

Ye Wanlan nodded, "Where’s Tingting?"

"The boss is still in seclusion," the Right Protector hesitated, "but the boss said you could stand next to him and watch."

"Seclusion is important and shouldn’t be disturbed," Ye Wanlan said with a faint smile, "but I do miss him, so I’ll take a look."

"Alright!" The Right Protector’s spirit lifted, "Regarding the boss’s words, I’ll relay them to you once he wakes."

Then he turned his gaze to Yue Zheng, "And this is..."

"The Healer from the Su Family," Ye Wanlan said, "Trustworthy."

The Right Protector nodded and led them to where Yan Tingfeng was in seclusion.

After previously slashing the "Power Angel" Ouya, Yan Tingfeng was spiritually attacked, with no apparent injury to his body.

After confirming Yan Tingfeng was indeed in seclusion, Ye Wanlan planned to leave.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, this man’s body..." Yue Zheng suddenly spoke.

Ye Wanlan asked, "What about it?"

Yue Zheng couldn’t help but gasp, "He’s actually hosting a Life-Devouring Gu!"
