Chapter 606: The Old Fox in the Palace
Seeing Pei Ye lowered his eyes and looked for a while, then raised his hand to pick up a pinch and put it in front of his eyes. This kind of powder was very light and crystalline, not sticking to his hands at all, almost as smooth as silk.
According to what he had taken that day, Seeing Pei Ye estimated that there was at least a thirty-person portion in this jade box.
"You say, what is the difference between this and the shark pearl powder bought at a high price from the Immortal Platform?" Seeing Pei Ye said to himself, "If it can make people enter the Spiritual Realm."
The black cat didn't speak, but its eyes fell on the wide big table in front of it.
A short note that had been read was pushed aside. Placed directly in front of the seat was an ancient scroll whose binding and paper quality were not like the current dynasty. It was spread out halfway, and there were draft papers for the reader to check and copy next to it.
Seeing Pei Ye took two steps forward and picked up this short note:
"Reported on the 8th of the first month,
The path has not appeared.
Today saw two flowers, one shark servant died, three injured. The scales gnawed at the door, chiseled in more than three feet."
In the bottom right corner of the note was Yu Sicheng's handwriting, with the word "Read" written in ink.
Seeing Pei Ye then cast his gaze on the ancient scroll spread on the table. The ancient and beautiful characters made him mostly unfamiliar, but he recognized a few words at the beginning of the chapter:
"Chapter 4: The Connection of the Two Mirage Realms"
"The previous chapter said that the Mirage Realm is derived from one. No matter how winding and deep, it should all be connected and integrated. However, the ethereal nature of the immortals is difficult for mortals to understand. It is rumored that the residences of the Dragon King, the residence of the Luo Goddess, and the residences of the officials of the water countries are not easily entered. There are also water spirits and water monsters who use unknowable methods to block the path, causing intervals. Creatures on the shore encounter confusion, which is what this chapter describes.
The connection of the Mirage Realm uses water as a medium and scales as a messenger. Only when there is contact will the water gate open, and the path to enter the realm will be obtained..."
Seeing Pei Ye read this far, frowned, and reached out to pick up the cover of this ancient scroll. Eight ancient characters that were definitely not printed in this dynasty were written vertically on it. There were no difficult characters, and Seeing Pei Ye recognized them all after a pause.
*Secret Scripture of Luo River Seeking Ferry, Volume 2*
"..."
Seeing Pei Ye was stunned for a moment. Next to the draft paper were some map-like patterns drawn by Yu Sicheng. Some places were circled by him, and others could see the deliberation of the brushwork. The trend of the whole map was like stars arching over the moon, vaguely pointing to an unknown place.
On the shelf above the desk were many commonly used books. Volumes 1 and 3 of *Luo River Seeking Ferry* were in the most convenient places, and the rest were *Records of Searching for Gods*, *Water Classic*, *Explanation of Scale Objects*, *Evolution of Eight Waters and Nine Dynasties*, etc.
Seeing Pei Ye looked back at the black cat. The black cat had the same idea: "Take it and go."
Seeing Pei Ye closed the ancient scroll in front of him and raised his hand to pull the two volumes on the shelf. Just at this moment, the door behind him was pushed open.
The heavy and expensive wood turned silently. Seeing Pei Ye's reaching hand paused in the air, then slowly descended and pressed toward the hilt of his sword at his waist.
He turned his head and saw the wide and purple big robe standing quietly at the door. A head with no expression stood on the black big stand-up collar. His appearance was like an old wolf or fox. His eyes were deep and narrow, and his pupils were also weirdly dark green.
The cheeks were already wrinkled, but the skin was still delicate, showing very expensive maintenance. A piece of strangely polished purple gold was embedded in the left cheek, and the white hair was tied behind his head, pressed by a jade crown.
Yu Sicheng.
No matter what impression others had of this big eunuch, Seeing Pei Ye already felt a cold gloom. When this golden-purple big robe appeared in his field of vision, the whole big room seemed to dim.
This was the first time Seeing Pei Ye had met this name.
His thoughts turned, he raised his plaque and said in a serious voice: "Grand Eunuch Yu, I am ordered by the Immortal Platform to investigate the case of the Mingyue Palace. I have found involvement in your place today. May I ask—"
"If you dare to come, then die." A sharp voice like a snake's hiss, a flat and indifferent tone.
Yu Sicheng looked at him, raised his hand, the golden-purple sleeve fell, and the slender hand slowly clenched into a fist. A crisp sound of gold and jade burst out from the joints.
Seeing Pei Ye's heart was gripped tightly in an instant.
【Jade Tiger】 was unsheathed in an instant, the sound of *clang* echoed in the whole room, and Yu Sicheng's heavy fist had smashed onto the sword body with unstoppable force.
The deep purple big robe swayed like big wings in the air, paper rolled, pen racks overturned. Without true energy, the air waves of pure collision had swept through the whole room.
Seeing Pei Ye's pupils shrank to needle points. His body had no ability to resist. Like a leaf encountering a violent wind, he was knocked back by a punch, crashing through the window and a wall and flying out. In the air, a mouthful of fishy sweetness had surged out of his lips.
It had been too long... since he had encountered such a suffocating enemy.
The golden-purple big robe was like a drifting ghost, sweeping in front of him in a flash. There was no true energy to step on the air, and the Qilin restriction was equally effective on this Grand Eunuch. Seeing Pei Ye could even see every action of him lifting his body and stepping through the window to chase, and the exertion of every muscle and bone, but it was... too fast!
The next punch would break his neck!
Chi Fire quenched the blade in an instant. Seeing Pei Ye raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, and the next moment he twisted his waist and leaned his body, taking two steps with this damaged body, and stabbed out a whistling, bright, and extremely strong sword.
【Calling White Dew】
This sword was already extremely strong and fast, rising unexpectedly between staggering, but the moment the sword light rose, Yu Sicheng's dark eyes moved, and his body had already tilted to the left. The sword momentum missed by a hair's breadth, only cutting off two strands of floating forehead hair, leaving a slender bloody cut on his face.
Yu Sicheng's momentum did not decrease, his eyes were as cold as ice, his fist was as fierce as fire. Seeing Pei Ye's other hand bloomed, and the jade lotus in his palm had already generated first. The surging vermilion fire instantly drowned his body, but the next moment the golden-purple big robe broke through the fire... This robe was immune to water and fire, and this eunuch didn't need true energy, just breaking through the whole fire of the vermilion lotus with fist power!
The sword was out, the palm was out. In an instant, the youth had no more means. Yu Sicheng's steel-cast hard fist smashed firmly on the youth's throat. The neck bone broke into a weird arc, and the bone tip pierced through the flesh and blood.
But the next moment, white swaying bloomed from the cracked bloody mouth, and Seeing Pei Ye's whole body turned into a group of flying white feathers.
Yu Sicheng narrowed his eyes coldly the moment he succeeded, his big robe whistled and twisted his body, punching at the empty space behind him to the left. The youth's figure did indeed appear there, but he was still a beat slow.
The right sleeve was hunting like burning, and the sword and the person were like growing into one in this instant. The body was born from the white feathers. Seeing Pei Ye pursed his lips and looked coldly. This sword light broke through the fist wind and the red robe like a miracle, and pierced straight into Yu Sicheng's throat.
Piercing through the weak soft skin, cutting through the loose flesh and blood, blood surged out from the broken blood vessels instantly... Then there was a *clang* sound!
It was not the sound of breaking the bone spine. This feedback was like hitting a copper wall and an iron wall!
Jade Tiger bent in an instant, and Yu Sicheng pressed up with his sword tip.
"I have lived in the Great Ming Palace for more than thirty years..." He said coldly, "You actually arrogantly thought that you were invincible here?" ===== CHAPTER 607 =====
