Chapter 288: Chapter 288
Within the Wonderous Palace, screams echoed one after another. Each cry, as soon as it sounded, was abruptly silenced. The strongest figures within the Wonderous Palace were perpetrating a massacre.
In a side room, a Wonderous Palace disciple, mid-essence absorption, looked at Si Nanyan entering through the door, astonishment flashing in her eyes. She didn’t understand why Si Nanyan had come to find her. Could it be because she had recently caused the death of two furnaces through essence absorption, incurring dissatisfaction? But even so, this wasn’t enough to warrant the palace master’s personal attention.
"Palace Master, I..."
The Wonderous Palace disciple hurriedly stood up, her naked and lovely form revealed.
However, Si Nanyan merely waved her hand. A streak of blood light flashed within the room, and simultaneously, a head flew high into the air.
The eyes of this Wonderous Palace disciple were filled with shock and despair, her voice tinged with disbelief. How could this be? Why would the palace master want to kill her?
But no one responded to her.
Having killed the person, Si Nanyan turned and left without hesitation.
Scenes unfolded in room after room. No one had expected Si Nanyan and the others to actually turn on their own. Those furnaces being subjected to essence absorption were even more frightened out of their wits. With the strength of these three individuals, hardly anyone in the Wonderous Palace could resist them.
Soon, the thick scent of blood permeated the Wonderous Palace. Blood flowed everywhere. Some people noticed something was amiss, but instead of thinking of escape, they planned to seek help from Si Nanyan. This was nothing short of walking willingly into a trap. Occasionally, one could see figures, faces etched with terror, soaring into the sky in an attempt to flee, only to be swiftly pursued and instantly obliterated.
Wen Zhixing, the instigator of all this, had already departed. He paid no attention to any of these events, heading instead to the place where Zhang Tiancheng was imprisoned.
In truth, Wen Zhixing and Zhang Tiancheng weren’t exactly brothers. However, they could at least be considered friends. Zhang Tiancheng wasn’t a good person, but even when manipulated by Mu Yunqing, he had never truly intended to kill Wen Zhixing. For this reason alone, he deserved Wen Zhixing’s help.
My Longevity Essence Blood might be able to transform Zhang Tiancheng’s Puppet Body. Wen Zhixing looked at the skin pouch in his hand. It was indeed Zhang Tiancheng’s skin pouch, within which his divine soul consciousness was still sealed. Fortunately, Zhang Tiancheng was already a puppet, so transferring his divine soul wasn’t a major issue.
The place where Zhang Tiancheng was detained was also within a Cave of Fortune. Its entrance was extremely concealed, located in a stagnant pool of water in a remote area. Ordinarily, no one would come here.
Wen Zhixing held a jade talisman, and a flash of light pulsed from it. Accompanied by a booming sound, the entrance opened, revealing a small passage in the water. Wen Zhixing’s gaze flickered, and he stepped directly into it.
Cave Heavens and Lands of Fortune could be either artificially created or naturally formed. Clearly, the Cave of Fortune before him was man-made. Though called a Cave of Fortune, it was, in reality, just a very well-hidden secret chamber. Apart from a few meditation cushions, there was nothing else.
And there, upon one of the cushions, sat Zhang Tiancheng’s body, now devoid of its skin. It’s a good thing it was already a Puppet Body; otherwise, after so many days, the body would have likely rotted away.
"Zhang," Wen Zhixing said, looking at the skin pouch in his hands, "I’ll help you one more time. What path you take in the future will depend entirely on your own fortune."
He knew Zhang Tiancheng should be able to see and hear him.
In the next instant, Wen Zhixing waved his hand, and the skin pouch began to merge with the body. Simultaneously, a drop of crystal-clear, blood-ruby-like Longevity Essence Blood was forced from his fingertip. It contained copious amounts of blood energy and an aura of vitality that seemed as if it could endure through ages.
Zhang Tiancheng’s Puppet Body, sensing this energy, instinctively began to tremble.
Seeing this, Wen Zhixing pointed forward, and the drop of Longevity Essence Blood flew directly into Zhang Tiancheng’s body. Googlᴇ search novel✦fire.net
Zhang Tiancheng’s Puppet Body had not been refined by Wen Zhixing; their refinement methods were different. Wen Zhixing’s puppets had a Blood Pill within them, but Zhang Tiancheng’s did not. All his strength resided within this physique, his physical power extremely formidable.
As soon as Wen Zhixing’s drop of Longevity Essence Blood entered it, a transformation began. The once somewhat shriveled muscles instantly swelled. The body’s various functions were activated in a moment. The heart was the first to beat, followed by the slow recovery of the five viscera and six bowels. The Sea of Qi, which had been dry, began to stir, showing signs of revival.
Wen Zhixing observed for a short while. Everything is progressing smoothly, but Zhang Tiancheng’s transformation will likely take some time.
After a moment’s thought, he forced out another drop of Longevity Essence Blood and let it drip into the Puppet Body. This caused Zhang Tiancheng’s body to expand instantly, growing larger by an entire size. Clearly, it had reached its limit.
It’s a pity; otherwise, I would have liked to give a few more drops. Wen Zhixing shook his head. I should wait for now.
Finding himself with some free time, Wen Zhixing began to sort through his gains from this endeavor. Various items were taken out from his Universe Belt. These had been acquired from Si Nanyan’s Storage Ring; some belonged to Si Nanyan, and others to Mu Yunqing. Among them were several valuable objects. Wen Zhixing intended to see which ones suited him; if any were of no use, he planned to return them to Si Nanyan.
