165. Chapter 165: The Master Who Protects Her Disciple

The last Jade Box, Fang Qingyan and the other did not touch; instead, Luo Yao opened it. She did not pray or anything, just opened it directly.

After opening it, Fang Qingyan and the other were immediately somewhat disappointed, seeing that the thing inside was very ordinary, not some treasure at all.

It was just an ordinary Token. Luo Yao picked up the Token, seeing that on the front of the dark, ancient-looking Token was written the character "Heaven".

"The Token of the Wuji Mijing?"

Luo Yao widened her eyes. Last time in the Secret Realm, she learned from Fang Qingyan's inheritance that if she wanted to obtain the Nine Nether Separation Fire, she must find the Token.

And that Token was scattered throughout the Immortal Cultivation World; to find it could only rely on luck.

Moreover, the Token had four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, and each rank allowed entry to a different number of layers within the Secret Realm.

This time, the Corpse Demon Sect's matter obviously involved them as well, aiming to let the Corpse Demon Sect wipe out the other Ten Great Immortal Sects in one net, so they could divide the resources of other forces and become the sole power in Pingzhou.

Zi Qianxue sneered coldly. He had already made a Dao Oath, so he would definitely act. Since he wanted to act against my disciple, then I will fulfill him first.

The Star Palace Sect Master nodded. "The Corpse Demon Sect's progress is too slow. Let the Great Elder atone for his crimes by going to help the Corpse Demon Sect. If he fails, he dies; if he succeeds, this matter is wiped clean."

However, she had absolutely no clue.

"Insulting people too much!"

After all, the Great Elder had been indulging his grandson's reckless behavior for who knows how long, and causing all sorts of incidents had already made the Star Palace lose face twice.

"Having finished viewing this treasure, let us look at these two Storage Bags."

Luo Yao and Xi Lan did not see anything they wanted, so they let Fang Qingyan put them away for her own use.

"Alright, just endure for a moment." The Star Palace Supreme Elder walked into the main hall. "Now is the time for us to achieve our goals; we cannot lose the big picture for small matters."

However, these things were not lacking for Xi Lan at all, so she was not interested in those Secret Realms.

Frightened, the Star Palace Sect Master hurriedly emerged from seclusion to soothe the two, and stated he would give them an explanation.

"This time Liu Yizhou is dead; the Star Palace Great Elder certainly will not let this go. Let us leave quickly!"

Fang Qingyan took out the Storage Bags of Liu Yizhou and the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Liu Yizhou's Storage Bag had mostly used up its good items; just now, when he desperately tried to stop Luo Yao and the other two, he recklessly consumed all his things.

As a single faction, they naturally would not fear, but if two factions joined hands, then their Star Palace would have to weigh the matter.

Whether it was Pills, Talisman Paper, or Dharma Treasures, they threw them out as if they cost no money, yet in the end, they still could not stop Luo Yao and the other two.

Indeed, after Luo Yao and the other two disguised themselves, suppressed their auras, and left quickly, a terrifying aura immediately shrouded the area around that Cave Abode.

Those geniuses went to the Secret Realm simply because they could not break through via seclusion, so they wanted to seek opportunities outside to let themselves break through.

Whether it was Zi Qianxue or Yunhua Xianzi, their first reaction was that what was done was correct; it should be done this way.

So, the two left very quickly.

Everyone wanting to enter the Secret Realm was simply seeking Pills, Dharma Treasures, cultivation methods, Supernatural Abilities, and so on.

So, she could only rely on luck.

Yunhua Xianzi also spoke coldly, "Xi Lan is the future Sect Master of my Moon Gaze Pavilion. Does the Star Palace intend to start a war with my Moon Gaze Pavilion?"

What they did was simply to pressure the Star Palace, making them restrain their Great Elder.

Afterwards, they learned the real reason was that Luo Yao, Xi Lan, and the others had killed the Star Palace Great Elder's grandson.

After she completed her sect's Ten Veins Grand Competition, she could go explore this Secret Realm and seek the Nine Nether Separation Fire.

Who would have thought that in this Cave Abode, she would obtain such a Token.

"So, even holding this Token, I cannot go to that Wuji Mijing tomorrow, and I am not interested in that Secret Realm anyway."

Boom boom boom!

The Star Palace Great Elder, having failed to find Luo Yao and the other two, became instantly furious and directly destroyed that Cave Abode.

Luo Yao and the others did not dare to stay any longer. Although they had just joined hands to resolve the Star Palace Great Elder's Nascent Soul Stage phantom, that was only a phantom.

To obtain the Nine Nether Separation Fire, one must obtain the Heaven-character Token.

"Best be so!"

"Little Yao, don't look at me; I am not interested in this Token." Xi Lan shrugged and said, "Moreover, I have the Thunder Crystal Stone and this pearl; perhaps I will go into seclusion upon returning, and I might not come out of seclusion for several years."

In the end, Luo Yao could only put the Token away safely.

This was what the Star Palace Great Elder announced to the outside, and he demanded that the Taixu Sect and Moon Gaze Pavilion give an explanation.

After Zi Qianxue and Yunhua Xianzi left, the Star Palace Sect Master immediately became furious. As one of the Sect Masters of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, when had he ever been so humiliated?

Luo Yao was also very happy, but this Token was too precious, and moreover, the three of them discovered it.

And the Wuji Mijing would open at the earliest tomorrow, so if Luo Yao wanted to obtain the Nine Nether Separation Fire, she must find the Token as soon as possible.

"Go!" The Star Palace Supreme Elder nodded. "We must also make preparations, lest the Corpse Demon Sect turn against us."

"Two of you rest assured; I will definitely give everyone an explanation."

It was also a warning: if their Great Elder really acted, then do not blame them for acting to kill him.

If the Star Palace Great Elder's true body arrived, then their combined chance of victory would be less than two in ten.

Afterwards, the Star Palace Great Elder killed anyone he saw along the way, caring not at all about the other's cultivation level or identity.

In an instant, the entire Pingzhou knew the Star Palace Great Elder had gone mad.

Zi Qianxue and the other two had not truly thought of killing their Great Elder inside the Star Palace; doing so would be truly starting a war.

"Excellent."

Start a war?

That is absolutely impossible!

The Star Palace Sect Master immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Whether it was the Taixu Sect or the Moon Gaze Pavilion, the strength of these two factions was at its peak.

So, upon hearing the Star Palace Great Elder demand that the Taixu Sect and Moon Gaze Pavilion give an explanation, both factions strongly stated it was impossible.

And upon hearing the oath the Star Palace Great Elder made to the outside, the next day, Zi Qianxue and Yunhua Xianzi ascended the Star Palace to kill.

Fang Qingyan also spoke excitedly; she knew Luo Yao wanted to seek the Nine Nether Separation Fire, so seeing this Token, she felt happy for Luo Yao.

At this time, Luo Yao and the others had already returned to their respective sects and reported the events to their masters.

If his grandson dared to lay a hand on their disciples, it was his own death he sought—he deserved it!

Enraged, the Great Elder of Starlight Palace swore a Dao oath: once Luo Yao or Xi Lan left their sect, he would hunt them down to avenge his grandson.

After arriving at Taixu Sect, Luo Yao inquired about the Token and only then learned that it originated from Wuji Mijing.

"Reported?"

Though allying with the Corpse Demon Sect was like making a pact with a tiger, how could one accomplish great deeds without taking risks?

Besides, Starlight Palace had been passed down for ten thousand years; its foundations were hundreds of times stronger than those of the Corpse Demon Sect. Even if the Corpse Demon Sect's Demon Sovereign were to be unsealed and turn against them, they would not care—they had their own hidden trump cards.
