Chapter 216: Father's Meridian Upgrade, Imperial Uncle?

At the summit of Kunlun, the remaining white snow completely melted.

All divine medicines flourish!

Countless immortal herbs teem with vitality.

Even at Kunlun's most vibrant, it is no more than this.

Beneath the divine tree, in Shen Qingli's forehead, the tree's light and ice-crystal divine splendor shone together.

"Ah! Little Fu has come out too~"

The shrunken Nine Li looked up at the colossal Fusang tree; one could tell this was the divine aspect of the Fusang Divine Tree, its true form still residing in space, otherwise it would have fallen out……

The branches and leaves of the Fusang Divine Tree rustled "rustle", as if responding to the Nine Li.

Countless divine splendor entered the Nine Li's body, helping it recover its exhausted secret power.

"You still have the Fusang Divine Tree." Meng Zhang suppressed his inner greed and exhaled a shocking breath.

He, Jian Wuji, and Shaoguan Wu had also returned to human form; both sides looked as if they had not fought.

"Can we talk properly?" Shen Qingli held the drowsy Nine Li, eyeing the Three God Emperors coldly.

At the same time, Tai Jin and Kunli landed to her left and right, staring at the Three Great Four Spirits Divine Emperors.

Tai Jin even drew his golden spear, shouting, "What are you three doing here!"

"Haha." Meng Zhang laughed, "Tai Jin, junior brother, don't be nervous; we're on good terms with A Li, we're just here to visit her."

Tai Jin frowned, utterly disbelieving this nonsense!

But Shen Qingli said, "Not bad, Uncle Tai Jin needn't be nervous; how dare they openly defy the Dao Palace."

"Eh, wise niece, that's what you say; we wouldn't defy the Dao Palace in private either." Meng Zhang, well-versed in deceit, added, "We're merely following the Queen Mother of the West's order to investigate who secretly met with Lou Guanxue; we just happened to find this place."

Having spoken, Meng Zhang actually produced a Xi Wangmu token.

Tai Jin recognized it; this was indeed a gift from the Queen Mother of the West.

But how could that be?

Tai Jin didn't understand, but he looked at Shen Qingli and said, "Junior Tutor?"

"Return." Shen Qingli, who had recalled the Fusang Divine Tree, glanced coldly at the Three God Emperors and that blood-golden Xi Wangmu order, "Go back and tell her not to fall into others' traps."

Now, Shen Qingli already understood what was going on.

The Heaven-Earth Sect wanted to smear dung on her, preventing her from standing alongside the Divine Court.

Just now, if she had lost, Meng Zhang and the two old fogeys would have seized her! Even, share food!

These three aren't stupid; they're pure self-interest! They believe whatever benefits them.

With their strength and connections, could they not uncover the true truth?

Of course they could, but they seem never to investigate.

No, they probably all know full well!

Whether she, or Qin Bilian, is their daughter doesn't matter; what matters is controllability and an outcome favorable to them!

Once uncontrollable, they have ways to make the situation controllable again.

In short, top-tier fence-sitters!

They probably already knew of the Heaven-Earth Sect's existence!

They've even had contact……

"Farewell."

Meng Zhang put away the token, looking at Shaoguan Wu and Jian Wuji beside him.

The two didn't say much either, and followed him away.

"What exactly did they come here to do?"

Tai Jin wondered, "Although this place has been cleaned up spotless by Shaoguan Wu, he is after all a primordial god, so he can still sense some clues."

Setting aside other matters, the Nine Li clearly exhausted all its strength.

"Just testing me."

Shen Qingli's expression turned cold; she suddenly felt that labeling these three as mere accomplices was wrong!

Some men clearly know what the woman beside them (Qin Su Nu) is doing, yet they pretend not to hear or ask, acting completely unaware, because they know the outcome benefits them.

They only need to pluck the fruit at the final moment.

Any fault, meanwhile, is blamed on the woman beside them.

So——

They probably never wanted a daughter at all!

What they want is surely this daughter, who is immensely useful to them!

"Uncle Tai Jin."

"Ah?"

Tai Jin was actually a bit startled by the favor; what merit does he have to be Junior Tutor Uncle?

"Can the Four Spirits grow stronger by devouring and awakening the bloodline of their offspring?"

Shen Qingli asked seriously; she had reasonable grounds for this suspicion. For the Four Spirits Divine Emperors, besides becoming stronger, there should be no other temptation.

After all, they already share heaven and earth's longevity, near immortality.

With no worries about lifespan, only fame, profit, and power can tempt them.

Yet they already rank as one beneath all, myriad above, needing only to submit to the Dao Lord.

If still unsatisfied, that means they want to rebel! That is, they want to become strong enough to escape the Dao Lord's control.

But Shen Qingli's question shocked Tai Jin like a stone splitting the sky; he stared, "……No way! Besides the Junior Tutor, there's never been a junior who could awaken Four Spirits divine power."

After a pause, Tai Jin continued, "We primordial divine spirits are each the ultimate manifestation of a certain strand of the primordial source between heaven and earth; normally we cannot bear offspring."

Moreover, unless we fall, there normally wouldn't be a new god capable of awakening our primordial divine power. Someone like you is actually quite special. However, your father is the Kunlun Divine Lord, so everything is normal.

"Why?" Shen Qingli actually didn't quite understand, "Is it just because my father's healing power is extremely strong?"

"Not only that, your father is also a deity of the same origin and era as the Dao Lord." Tai Jin said.

Shen Qingli stared in shock, "Same origin? Brothers?"

"No, not exactly. Put it this way, like heaven and earth."

Shen Qingli touched the spot she had unconsciously pinched; Jiu Li had already woken up.

"You scared me, Li." Jiu Li rolled over, almost bumping into the true bone department…

"My father probably hasn't really been poisoned, has he?" Shen Qingli muttered, taking out a jade tablet to send a message to Jin Wu.

Over there, Jin Wu, who had already arrived at the Vermilion Bird Palace, was actually standing outside the hall where Shen Kuo was in seclusion, but this place had been sealed off!

"Your Majesty." Jin Wu tried calling out.

Zhong Minglan had no response…

Jin Wu took out the jade tablet to send a message, but also got no response.

Jin Wu's heart tightened slightly, and Shen Qing Tong beside him had turned pale.

"What do you see?" Jin Wu immediately asked.

"There's a kind of dark light." Shen Qing Tong pointed at the snow-white divine radiance ahead.

In his sight, within those snow-white rays, all hid faint threads of greenish light.

Although not as clear as those that attacked Shen Qingli, he wouldn't mistake them! They are them.

Jin Wu's heart was completely in suspense: "Kunlun Divine Lord, or has he been possessed by the Dao?"

"Probably." Shen Qing Tong's voice was dry, not knowing how to respond to Shen Qingli.

If she knew something had happened, she would surely rush back! However…

"Let's tell the little sister the truth; maybe she has a solution."

We can't think that, to keep the little sister from worrying, we'll just hide it!

However——

"Can't say."

A familiar voice of Shen Qing Tong sounded.
