Chapter 287: Chapter 287

He didn’t know what Bai Luqiu would think about it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luqiu suddenly fell silent.

Actually, she had long known that Wen Zhixing possessed many bizarre secret techniques.

But this Enslave Skill... She truly hadn’t expected it. Primarily, the name of this secret skill alone was horrifying. What if it were used on her...

"Senior Sister, don’t worry..."

Wen Zhixing was about to explain when Bai Luqiu stopped him with a wave of her hand.

"No need to explain. Senior Sister trusts you."

Bai Luqiu shook her head, her moist eyes brimming with trust as she looked at Wen Zhixing.

Wen Zhixing could have chosen not to tell her about this at all.

Yet, he had, which demonstrated his frankness.

Warmth spread through Wen Zhixing’s heart.

He appreciated it when people trusted him unconditionally.

"Right, what about Si Nanyan..."

Bai Luqiu then turned her gaze to Si Nanyan, who stood nearby, looking somewhat anxious.

Why isn’t there a slave imprint on Si Nanyan’s forehead...

"She... I killed her."

Wen Zhixing hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Si Nanyan you see now is no longer the Si Nanyan from before."

"Killed..." Bai Luqiu’s pupils constricted.

That statement was even more shocking than the Enslave Skill.

If Si Nanyan is already dead, then who is this Si Nanyan before me?

A sense of horror crept into her heart.

It turned out there was so much about Wen Zhixing that she didn’t know.

However, what reassured her was that Wen Zhixing clearly had no intention of hiding these things from her.

That meant Wen Zhixing truly trusted her.

"Junior Brother, say no more. Everyone has their secrets; you don’t need to explain everything so clearly to me."

Bai Luqiu took a deep breath and said, "Besides, Junior Brother, you shouldn’t tell anyone else about these things from now on."

She truly wanted to know what else Wen Zhixing was hiding from her. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI(F)ire.net

But some things were better left unknown.

She feared that one day, these secrets might be exposed through her.

He wasn’t overly concerned about these matters.

Knowing was knowing; it wasn’t a big deal.

"Junior Brother, what should we do now..."

Bai Luqiu glanced again at Si Nanyan and the others not far away.

Like Wen Zhixing before, she suddenly felt lost.

Wen Zhixing had already dealt with the most powerful figures in the Wonderous Palace.

Was everything over then...

"Senior Sister Bai, you should pack up and return first."

Wen Zhixing looked up slightly and added, "It’s time to go back and inform Master about the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign."

"The Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign..."

At the mention of this name, Bai Luqiu’s heart jolted.

Right. The Wonderous Palace has been dealt with. But now we’ve made another enemy. What if that Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign recovers and comes for revenge...

"Alright, there’s no time to lose. Let’s hurry back," Bai Luqiu said, suddenly anxious.

The Wonderous Palace was now a secondary concern.

There would be plenty of time to deal with it slowly later.

"Senior Sister Bai, you go back first."

Wen Zhixing, however, shook his head.

"Junior Brother, what are you..."

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister. I still have a small matter to attend to. I’ll be back soon," Wen Zhixing said, taking Bai Luqiu’s hand.

"Alright, then... come back soon."

Feeling the warmth from Wen Zhixing’s palm, Bai Luqiu slowly nodded.

Not far away, several gazes were fixed intently on the two of them.

Their intimacy made Si Nanyan and the others feel a pang of jealousy.

Bai Luqiu didn’t linger. She quickly released his hand, her gaze sweeping over Si Nanyan and the others once more before she vanished in a flash.

The Righteous Sun Sect disciples she had rescued were waiting for her elsewhere.

As soon as Bai Luqiu left, Si Nanyan and the other two approached.

The smile Wen Zhixing wore when facing Bai Luqiu vanished. His expression turned calm as he waved his hand grandly and said, "Go. Kill all the disciples remaining in the Wonderous Palace."

Feng Ruoli and Yun Xinyue were instantly aghast.

Now possessing their own thoughts, the order to massacre all Wonderous Palace disciples threw them into a panic.

Si Nanyan showed no unusual emotion. She nodded respectfully and, without hesitation, transformed into a streak of light and departed.

"What, are you intending to plead for them?"

Once Si Nanyan was gone, Wen Zhixing turned to Feng Ruoli and Yun Xinyue.

Although the two women didn’t openly defy him, hesitation flickered in their hearts.

However, this was normal.

This was also the degree of control Wen Zhixing had intentionally loosened.

"Master, perhaps we could spare these Wonderous Palace disciples? They could serve you daily..." Feng Ruoli blurted out, clenching her teeth as she knelt.

"I beg you, Master, to leave a path of survival for the others!" Yun Xinyue also dropped to her knees abruptly.

Both women had deep emotional ties to the Wonderous Palace.

They had committed evil deeds, but that was towards outsiders.

Internally, the disciples of the Wonderous Palace had lived in relative harmony.

"A path of survival?"

Wen Zhixing stepped forward, his gaze lowered, looking down at the two kneeling women.

Feng Ruoli and Yun Xinyue tensed immediately, fear evident on their faces.

Fortunately, Wen Zhixing didn’t intend to make things difficult for them. He simply turned away and said, "For your sake, each of you may choose one person to spare. As for the rest, kill them all."

"Yes, Master," they responded.

Feng Ruoli and Yun Xinyue dared not look up. They could only bow their heads silently and depart.

Each of them could save one person. This was already a generous concession from their Master, and they dared not ask for more.

The Wonderous Palace once had hundreds of disciples.

But after the successive battles, fewer than a hundred remained.

All of these women were strikingly beautiful; they would have served Wen Zhixing well.

But Wen Zhixing had no need for them.

With his current strength, if he wanted women, he could find any kind he desired. Not just a hundred—he could easily obtain thousands, even tens of thousands, and keep them if he wished.

The martial skills of the Wonderous Palace women might be formidable, but they were all evildoers. It was better to eliminate them completely, preventing them from causing future calamities.

Inside the Cave of Fortune of the Wonderous Palace.

Brilliant light radiated from Murong Fenghua’s body.

Her expression was tinged with pain.

Merging two Genius Spirits was an incredibly arduous task.

Yet, despite the immense difficulty, Murong Fenghua was nearing success.

"Merge!" Two dazzling beams of light erupted from Murong Fenghua’s eyes.

Terrifying pressure swept through the surroundings.

Instantly, the entire Cave of Fortune erupted in turmoil; winds howled, and the ground trembled violently.

Rocks continuously fell from the ceiling.

The cave itself, unable to withstand such immense pressure, began to collapse.

"Abba..." The Life Defying Blood Body cowered in a corner, trembling uncontrollably.

My goodness. What a terrifying woman.

Some time later, everything returned to calm.

Murong Fenghua slowly opened her eyes. Two white tiger primordial spirits, one large and one small, appeared within her Sea of Sense.

With a mere thought, the two white tiger primordial spirits materialized before her in human form.

One primordial spirit was an exact replica of Murong Fenghua.

The other was clearly still in a juvenile state.

"Two primordial spirits."

Though Murong Fenghua appeared exhausted, an irrepressible smile touched her lips.

This could be considered a blessing in disguise. Although it had taken hundreds of years to re-cultivate, this was an incredible stroke of fortune. It was well worth it.

However, Murong Fenghua’s smile didn’t last long. A chilling radiance shot towards her from a thousand miles away, piercing her very core.

It was a pair of eyes, seemingly capable of perceiving all things, that were slowly opening.

"What is this..." Murong Fenghua’s body trembled, her heart beginning to pound erratically.

This is a deathly crisis!

"So strong... How can it be this strong..." Murong Fenghua’s expression changed; this power was greater than even she possessed at her peak.

I must leave this place.

Murong Fenghua took a deep breath.

She felt an overwhelming sense of danger; it wasn’t safe to linger here.

Truly, even such a remote place can birth world-shaking experts.

Murong Fenghua was about to employ a secret skill to escape.

Suddenly, her other primordial spirit moved to block her path.

"Leave together with Wen Zhixing?"

Their minds linked, and Murong Fenghua understood her primordial spirit’s intention before confusion could even set in.
