CHAPTER 867: CHAPTER 353: INFINITE DIVINE SLASH, SECOND STAGE (PART 2)

Of course, she also cared a lot.

Within the Returning Ruins, she was utterly embarrassed by the Sealing Blade, and her ’brother’ Zhangsun Bingquan was also devastatingly defeated under Chu Xisheng’s sword.

For quite a while, Zhangsun Ruoli really wanted to give this pair of master and apprentice a good lesson.

Unfortunately, Ween Zhiyi was watching the matter closely, giving them no chance.

Not long after, Li Changsheng suppressed the Capital City with a single sword, extinguishing her thoughts completely.

Before they destroyed the Daning Imperial Family, they really didn’t need to complicate matters unnecessarily.

"Recently, all the high-ranking members of the Iron Banner Gang have dispersed and hidden within the mountains and among the people. Due to our Ice City’s lack of foundation in the East State, we can’t find their whereabouts for now."

Zhangsun Ruoli said this and furrowed her Liu Mei: "But from the current situation, it seems they do not have intentions of being enemies with the Extreme East Ice City."

"Oh?" Ween Zhiyi had mixed feelings toward Chu Xisheng and the Iron Banner Gang, a kind of indescribable emotion.

Chu Xisheng was undoubtedly her lifeline—

But she couldn’t bear to swallow her pride and rely on that youthful grass for her life.

This violated the principles Ween Zhiyi had always adhered to.

How could one for their life’s sake disregard their reputation!

Ween Zhiyi then collected her thoughts: "Since they have no hostile intentions, we’ll leave it for now. However, the ships and ship workers of the Iron Banner Gang still need to be requisitioned for maintaining our food supply routes."

She hesitated slightly: "Hire them at market price, don’t skimp on Silver Coin."

"Daughter obeys!"

Zhangsun Ruoli raised her eyebrows.

Extreme East Ice City lacks no ships, what they lack are riverboats that can sail on inland rivers and lakes.

For the auxiliary force about to land in the East State, the riverbanks of the Shenxiu River are extremely important.

Any ships not under their control would be a future hidden danger.

They also have money, the Extreme East Ice City’s eight hundred years of population growth have accumulated a vast amount of Silver Coin and provisions to use in this western expedition.

Then her expression changed slightly: "Speaking of the Iron Banner Gang, I’ve also found out two things, both related to Iron Flag Gang Leader Chu Xisheng."

"Speak." Ween Zhiyi, with her hands behind her back, displayed no expression on her face.

She wondered how that young grass was faring now?

Zhangsun Ruoli, on the other hand, had a peculiar feeling.

Her mother was indeed very concerned about Chu Xisheng.

Come to think of it, that young man was indeed extraordinarily handsome to the point of being eerie.

Could mother perhaps fancy that pretty face—

Zhangsun Ruoli hurriedly dismissed the rebellious thought: "One is the matter with the Star Constellation Immortal Sect, the Purple Eyebrow Heavenly Monarch Shui Ruge went north to the Formless Divine Mountain alone to challenge Chu Xisheng, attempting to reclaim his Young Sky Monarch title, but Chu Xisheng has yet to show up."

Ween Zhiyi clearly wasn’t too concerned with this news, her face and eyes showed no changes.

Zhangsun Ruoli then spoke about the next matter: "The other matter’s related to the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace. We can confirm that Chu Xisheng is one of the thirty-six people who obtained the Immortal Palace Secret Key."

Ween Zhiyi finally showed emotion: "How can this be?"

She immediately thought, isn’t this just as expected?

Chu Xisheng’s cultivation a year ago was just enough to enter the Ninth Grade Secret Realm of the Divine Turtle Wanderer.

With the talent this boy has shown, who could contend with him?

Ween Zhiyi pondered slightly and then said coldly: "You can send a token to notify the Formless Divine Sect. Inform Li Changsheng that the supreme one of the Chan Sect has intervened secretly, and the rules of the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace have undergone significant changes. Furthermore, several powerful Gods have set their sights on the things left by the Divine Turtle Wanderer."

"Chan Sect?"

Zhangsun Ruoli was startled.

Could the supreme one referred to be the one who controls the Chantian Dao?

What does ’Chan’ mean?

It means to open, clarify, expound, and unfold.

Achieve precision and then reveal its wonder, reach change and then understand its numbers.

It’s said that this is the very core part of Pangu’s Heaven Creation Dao.

This supreme one can twist and transform any rules in the world into the form he desires.

Zhangsun Ruoli then slightly bowed her head: "Yes!"

Ever since she heard of Li Changsheng storming into Wang’an alone and sweeping through the Inner Imperial City with one sword, she didn’t mind forming a good relationship with the Formless Divine Sect.

Then she felt bewildered: "Auntie, do you want to enter the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace?"

Is this the reason Ween Zhiyi wanted to find out the whereabouts of the thirty-six Immortal Palace Secret Keys?

"In his later years, the Divine Turtle Wanderer tried in every possible way to extend his life, collecting many Divine Medicines that could increase life expectancy. It’s very likely that the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace has things that can help me survive. So a few days ago, I went to take a look at the outskirts of the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace."

Ween Zhiyi sighed: "Let’s try first—"

How hard is it to prolong life expectancy?

Ordinary life-extending medicine is not enough.

--- What she needs is Pure Yang, extremely pure Yang Power!

Moreover, several powerful Gods have set their sights on what’s inside.

Including that Chan Sect supreme one—

The methods of Gods are beyond comprehension!

"Assign you two tasks, firstly, among those thirty-six people, find a suitable one, preferably a woman. Persuade her to take me into the Immortal Palace. Secondly, after leveling Cang Province and East State, the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace will likely open. You need to be prepared to maintain the situation of both places while I enter the Immortal Palace."

※※※※

Within Sky Wave Residence at the Formless Divine Mountain.

Twelve days later, Chu Xisheng was slowly awakening from meditation.

The Sword Spirit of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade was evidently a ruthless spirit.

After having drunk and fed enough, the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade buzzed and shot up, flying towards the Dao Yi Hall.

Chu Xisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
