Chapter 258

Inside the Yaochi Palace, immortal mist swirled, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

The Wang Wenyan sat on the Phoenix Throne, holding a cup of glazed immortal tea in her hand, but she delayed drinking it for a long time.

Opposite her, Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun Chang Xi was composed, slowly peeling a spiritual fruit, her movements as elegant as if she were carving a work of art.

"The Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun seems to have had an unusually large amount to say today." The Wang Wenyan put down the teacup, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

"Perhaps it is because the Guanghan Palace is too cold and quiet; seeing the magnificent scenery of your Yaochi, I wanted to intrude for a while longer." Chang Xi smiled faintly. Just then, she seemed to sense something and put down the spiritual fruit in her hand. "Since the Wang Wenyan has important matters to attend to, this palace will take its leave first."

The Wang Wenyan did not try to keep her, only watching Chang Xi's departing back coldly.

As soon as Chang Xi left, Li Jing entered the hall quickly under the guidance of a maid.

"Reporting to the Wang Wenyan, the thief who trespassed into the Tianhe has been executed!" Li Jing knelt on one knee, his voice like a booming bell.

The Wang Wenyan put down the teacup in her hand and replied: "Tell me the details of what happened."

Li Jing lowered his head and reported truthfully: "The person who trespassed into the Tianhe was a demonic cultivator with extremely high cultivation; he seemed to be practicing some kind of extremely ancient destructive demonic art, capable of dissolving a human immortal body with a wave of his hand. This fiend was exceptionally fierce; my son Nezha and the Right Camp Heavenly General Feng Yu joined forces to force him into a dead end before they could execute him."

"Demonic cultivator?" The Wang Wenyan's brows were tightly locked, a flash of astonishment in her eyes. "In the Three Realms, when did such a demon appear, capable of sneaking into the Heavenly Realm and walking on the Tianhe as if on flat ground?"

However, she was not concerned about the life or death of the demon, but the Flawless Heavenly Crystal in the Tianhe.

"Then did he leave anything on his body?" The Wang Wenyan asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing knew in his heart that the Wang Wenyan was so concerned about this matter because there must be something she wanted on that person.

But now that the demonic cultivator, along with everything on his body, had long since turned to ashes, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Returning to the Wang Wenyan, that demon was completely incinerated by my son's Samadhi True Fire, and even his primordial spirit turned into nothingness; his personal belongings such as the Universe Bag... were also annihilated along with him."

"Bang!"

The Wang Wenyan slapped the jade table, causing the immortal tea to splash everywhere.

The Wang Wenyan's chest heaved, and her heart was filled with monstrous anger.

That was the Flawless Heavenly Crystal! She had waited for tens of thousands of years, and the material she was about to obtain was just gone like that? Destroyed in the hands of an unknown demon?

But she had not informed Li Jing beforehand that she wanted to retrieve the Flawless Heavenly Crystal from that demonic cultivator; those who do not know are not guilty, so she could not punish Li Jing and Nezha for this.

After all, the infiltration of the demonic cultivator was a problem of the Heavenly Court's defense, and killing the demonic cultivator was Li Jing's merit.

The Wang Wenyan's eyes were uncertain, and finally, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "The Li Tianwang and the Great God of the Santanhai Society have merit in killing the demon; this palace will report this matter to His Majesty. The Li Tianwang has worked hard, so go back and rest first."

"This minister thanks the Lady!" Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

After Li Jing left, the Wang Wenyan called out coldly: "Come here."

A female immortal with her face covered in light gauze outside the hall hurriedly entered.

"Go, keep an eye on the Lunar Star for this palace." The Wang Wenyan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest. "Chang Xi came too coincidentally today. This palace does not believe there are so many coincidences in this world; go and investigate this matter thoroughly for this palace."

"Yes!" The female immortal received the order, exited the hall, and went to investigate the matter.

Lunar Star, the void fluctuated slightly, and Nezha's figure appeared.

He looked around, and after confirming there were no outsiders, he shook the Universe Ring casually.

A figure in green robes tumbled out from within; it was Su Chen.

At this time, Su Chen, where was there any appearance of the demon who had been standing tall on the Tianhe just now?

His expression was calm, and his whole body was filled with the aura of a righteous cultivator of the Xuan Sect.

Nezha put away the Universe Ring and asked curiously: "Su Chen, that demonic energy on you just now almost fooled even me. What kind of demonic art did you practice? The aura on you when you used the demonic art made even me feel a bit of a chill."

Su Chen smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Third Prince, for your righteous intervention. That was just a secret technique obtained from a bit of fortune; it is not worthy of the elegant hall."

"You call this not worthy of the elegant hall?" Nezha rolled his eyes. "Forget it if you don't want to say; I'm not interested in knowing anyway."

"Alright, the old man is probably still waiting for me to go and collect the reward. This wave, I not only got the credit but also pitted him; it's satisfying! If there's such a good thing in the future, remember to call me again."

After speaking, Nezha kicked his Wind-Fire Wheels, left the Lunar Star, and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

Su Chen watched Nezha leave, and thinking he had nothing to do, he decided to go and see Lin Qingyan, who was cultivating with Wu Gang.

Under the Osmanthus Tree.

Wu Gang was still swinging his giant axe to chop down the constantly regenerating osmanthus tree.

Not far away, Lin Qingyan was sitting cross-legged, her whole body wreathed in faint silver Lunar energy.

The wood-attribute cultivation technique she had originally practiced had been replaced by the Lunar-lineage technique taught by Wu Gang, and her whole person appeared even more cold and refined.

"Back?" Sensing Su Chen's arrival, Wu Gang stopped his axe and looked at Su Chen, his gaze deep. "You caused quite a stir."

"Circumstances forced it." Su Chen walked under the tree.

Lin Qingyan also opened her eyes at this time. Seeing Su Chen, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, and she hurriedly stood up to salute: "Greetings, Senior."

Su Chen looked her over and nodded slightly: "The Extreme Yin Body combined with the Great Lunar Dao is indeed a perfect match."

"Thanks to the guidance of my Master." Lin Qingyan looked at Wu Gang, her eyes full of awe.

Wu Gang nodded slightly and said: "She has good talent, it's just that she was delayed for too long in the past; now that she is switching cultivation halfway, she needs more time to polish her foundation."

Su Chen was about to speak when he suddenly felt a pressure descend; it was the Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun who had returned.

"Come to Guanghan to see me." The next moment, Chang Xi's voice rang in Su Chen's ear.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen bowed to Wu Gang and said: "Fellow Daoist, the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun has summoned me, so I will go first."

"Since the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun has summoned you, Fellow Daoist, go quickly." Wu Gang returned the salute and said: "I will teach this girl well."

Su Chen nodded and turned to head to the Guanghan Palace.
