Chapter 89: Video Call: Fan Qingying and I Have a Chat Group!

A great formation was set up inside the Seven-Leaf Demon Lord's castle, causing it to hover automatically in midair, called the Shadow Castle.

Chen Zheng broke the formation, entered the castle interior, searched around, and his gaze fell on the throne at the highest point.

He snapped his fingers, and a burst of fierce Qi shot out, smashing the throne into powder.

Below, a shallow cave was revealed.

"What a huge egg, I wonder if it's tasty?"

Chen Zheng looked and saw a grindstone-sized egg inside the cave, entirely white.

The egg was covered with dense runes, carved by someone, sealing the life force within the giant egg.

This is the Kunpeng Egg.

He reached out and grabbed it; the Kunpeng Egg was lifted by the fierce Qi and, with a bang, landed before him.

Buzz—

Chen Zheng was pondering whether to roast or fry the Kunpeng Egg when, suddenly, an object in the chaotic space trembled slightly.

The trembling object was the Five-colored Jade Talisman he had obtained from the Lord of the Death Island some time ago.

He recalled that a faint scent of a maiden lingered on the talisman, very pleasant.

According to the Lord of the Death Island's words before dying, a high-ranking member of the Forty Great Thieves would send a message on this talisman three days later, informing the location of Shadow Island.

And reveal the major matter of obtaining a Dao artifact.

But Chen Zheng waited left and right; the three days had long passed, and the talisman sat gathering dust in the chaotic space, never transmitting any information.

Gradually, he stopped worrying about it.

Now, after many days, the talisman finally showed movement.

"Who among the Forty Great Thieves is sending the message?"

Chen Zheng sank his mind into the chaotic space, gazing at the floating Five-colored Jade Talisman.

The chaotic space was vast, with no sky above and no ground below; everything stored there floated, drifting in all directions.

"Lord of the Death Island, why is there no image of you on the ten‑thousand‑mile transmission talisman?"

A woman's questioning voice emanated from the talisman, pleasant and melodious, as if the speaker were exceedingly beautiful.

Just like Fang Qingxue, even if her demeanor is icy and strangers are warned to stay away, no one can ignore her beauty, and all must admire it.

Moreover, the talisman displayed five‑colored radiance, projecting an image about ten feet tall.

The image was divided into forty small frames.

Except for three completely black frames in the lower right corner, every other frame contained people—some were hulking men, others women, youths, elders…

And a solitary area at the top of the image drew particular attention.

There stood a woman with azure hair draped over her shoulders, a pure countenance, like the most immaculate maiden, embodying all the world's beauty.

But the only thing marring her image was that her eyes were hollow, lacking pupils, as if she were blind.

The speaker was this pure blind woman.

"Group video call?"

Chen Zheng observed the scene projected by the talisman with his divine mind, feeling a bit uneasy.

These great thieves are quite advanced.

"Who are you, and why are you impersonating the Lord of the Death Island? Speak—did you kill him?"

The pure blind woman spoke again, her tone even harsher, yet Chen Zheng noticed her lips did not move; she was mute, speaking with her divine mind.

The others cast doubtful glances toward the lower right of the large image, the thirty‑eighth small frame belonging to the Lord of the Death Island, their eyes filled with suspicion.

"I'm fine; it's just that my Death Island was discovered, and I just moved to a new island. I was refining alchemy earlier, and at a critical moment I was delayed for a while, sorry."

Chen Zheng used his divine mind to assume the appearance of the Lord of the Death Island—goat beard, purplish‑black skin, a terrified expression—and apologized to the pure blind woman.

The Five‑Prison King Cauldron also appeared behind him, its mouth billowing thick steam, as if the alchemy furnace had been disturbed.

Within this chaotic space, Chen Zheng could freely shape‑shift with his divine mind; becoming the Lord of the Death Island was effortless.

"Is that so?"

The pure blind woman's hollow eye sockets stared at Chen Zheng and the Five‑Prison King Cauldron.

She lingered for a long while.

She seemed to try to discern truth from falsehood, but found nothing amiss, then softened her expression and said, "I thought that Chen Zheng had killed you; it's good that nothing happened." She withdrew her gaze and addressed everyone, "A while ago, because Chen Zheng and the Taiyi Gate caused a huge uproar at sea, our matter had to be postponed. Now the turmoil has passed, that matter should be dealt with."

"Sister, what kind of major affair can obtain a Dao artifact? You even have to go yourself?"

The asker was the woman in the second small frame.

She sat upright on a pristine lotus, looking very beautiful, not inferior to Jia Lan.

Based on the order of the frames, Chen Zheng guessed that this woman was the second‑ranked Immortal‑Slaying Thief among the Forty Great Thieves, an Ancient Giant with Divine Power Seventh Level.

As for the pure blind woman at the top, she is the number one 'Fan Qingying', titled the Heaven‑Abandoning Thief.

She has cultivated to Divine Power Tenfold, Defying Heaven and Altering Fate Realm.

She also ranks first on the Longevity Candidate Ranking, surpassing Yan Shuiyi and Hua Tiandu.

Moreover, although she is human, she colludes with the divine race, being a 'Mysterious Traitor'.

All because she was born deaf and mute, abandoned by her parents to fend for herself in the wild.

Fortunately she encountered the divine race, who adopted her, taught her cultivation, and gave her a priceless treasure.

This novel you...

Otherwise, she would have died long ago.

She naturally turned toward the divine race.

"The matter is of great importance and cannot be disclosed for now."

The pure blind woman Fan Qingying shook her head slightly, and with her divine mind said, "In five days I will reveal the location of Shadow Island; when you gather, you will know."

"Remember, everyone must come."

Having said that, she slowly vanished from the scene.

"Yes."

The others in the scene answered in agreement, and then all disappeared.

"Should I impersonate the Death Island Lord and go to Shadow Island to act together with them?"

Chen Zheng also cut off his connection with Yufu, withdrew his mind from the chaotic space, and rubbed his chin in thought.

He is lacking a Dao instrument.

Even a hundred items like the Five Prison King Cauldrons and the Blood Crimson Sky cannot compare to a single Dao instrument.

If he had a Dao instrument, he would have already been able to match Song Weiyi, Wan Luo and others.

But…

Among the Forty Great Thieves, many are strong; the top four are at least in the Golden Core realm.

Fan Qingying is even stronger than Hua Tiandu.

Even if Chen Zheng obtained a Dao instrument together with them, he still couldn't snatch it.

"We'll talk about it later."

Chen Zheng didn't dwell on it further; he sensed someone arriving outside the castle.

"Senior Brother Chen, so you're here."

Piao Yun, Ye Qingqing and the other women walked in from outside the castle.

The white-bearded old man and Star Cloud Baby were also among them.

Chen Zheng asked, "Have you finished collecting Heavenly Demons?"

"…"

The millions of Heavenly Demons in that flesh-and-blood mire were already wiped out by your one blast.

Don't you know that yourself?

Where else can we go to collect Heavenly Demons?

Piao Yun chuckled wryly, "We've finished. Our sisters are preparing to return to Linglong Blessed Land."

"Then let's go."

Chen Zheng gave a slight nod.

He was still more looking forward to Linglong Blessed Land.

It is said that this sect has hundreds of thousands of members, all women.
