Watching Zhao Zhen continuously kowtow to him, Fang Wang suddenly felt that he was also a pitiful person, just that today’s outcome was his deserts.
Regardless, the Yin Yang Xuan Ming Zhen Gong was given to him by Zhao Zhen.
Until his death, Lu Yuanjun never understood why Fang Wang could neutralize his Xuanming Seal.
Fang Wang’s eyes flickered, his thoughts swift as lightning.
“Young Master, if you don’t fancy this Ghost Instrument, why not give it to me? I often deal with monsters in the Great Saint’s Grotto-Heaven,” Xiao Zi edged closer and said.
Fang Wang thought for a moment and said, “Do you need my help?”
“No need, his assistance is enough. I’m sure he wouldn’t dare to make any mistakes,” Xiao Zi said as she slithered in front of the Soul Devouring Gourd, flicking her tongue.
Zhao Zhen looked up at Xiao Zi, his expression astonished.
A demon snake wants the Ghost Instrument?
He dared not question and promptly said, “I will definitely not cause trouble!” As long as he could survive, he no longer cared who his master was.
Fang Wang nodded, then watched Xiao Zi refine the Ghost Instrument.
Xiao Zi stared intently at the Soul Devouring Gourd, her eyes emitting a purple light, and Fang Wang clearly felt a strong consciousness probing into the Soul Devouring Gourd.
It seemed that the immense Black Python, which had helped Xiao Zi enhance her blood and qi, had also significantly strengthened her spiritual consciousness.
Indeed, the immense Black Python had died, ultimately consumed by Xiao Zi. Since the Black Python was slain by Fang Wang, the Three Great Sects could not intervene and could only watch Xiao Zi wastefully devour such an entity.
Zhao Zhen scurried back into the Soul Devouring Gourd, and the forest fell silent.
Fang Wang felt somewhat worried, so he kept his spiritual consciousness on the Soul Devouring Gourd, ready to assist Xiao Zi at any moment.
However, the situation took a turn quite different from what he had expected. Xiao Zits behavior was extremely tyrannical, even causing Zhao Zhen to wail in agony from within the Soul Devouring Gourd.
Was this a show of force?
Fang Wang couldn’t help but reassess Xiao Zi.
Could it be that her submissive demeanor in front of him was all an act?
An hour later.
A colossal purple snake, like a dragon emerging from the mountains, flew high into the sky. Fang Wang sat upon its head, with Zhao Zhen’s spirit hovering beside them.
The Soul Devouring Gourd, which was hanging on Xiao Zi’s back, appeared tiny in comparison.
“That treasure must be extraordinary, otherwise, Lu Yuanjun wouldn’t have left it in his mother’s tomb. It might be related to the legacy of the Ji Hao Sect,” Zhao Zhen spoke earnestly.
Fang Wang had originally planned to go directly in search of the Heavenly Gang Saint Body Technique, but after hearing Zhao Zhen mention that Lu Yuanjun had hidden something, he became intrigued.
Perhaps that object could aid in the search for the Heavenly Gang Saint Body Technique.
After Xiao Zi refined the Soul Devouring Gourd’s constraints, Zhao Zhen’s ghost was now under her control. With a mere thought, she could make Zhao Zhen dissipate into ash. To preserve himself, Zhao Zhen offered up one of Lu Yuanjun’s secrets.
According to Lu Yuanjun, that treasure was positioned together with the Yin Yang Xuan Ming Zhen Gong, but Lu Yuanjun couldn’t comprehend it and had to put it aside temporarily.
“By the way, why did Lu Yuanjun tell you everything?” Xiao Zi couldn’t help but ask.
Zhao Zhen floated beside Fang Wang and sighed, “After he turned me into a ghost soldier, he confided the truth to me. He had repressed too many things and needed to vent. Unlike other ghost soldiers, I possessed my own will, so he wanted to hear my opinions.”
“Speaking of which, he’s also a pitiful person. The reason he collected souls for Heaven’s Larceny Saint Sect wasn’t out of greed for more profound techniques, but to harness the Saint Spirit’s power to resurrect his own mother.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Wang thought of Zhou Xue’s words, that each Saint Spirit had different abilities could it be that the Saint Spirit Soul Jade that Zhou Xue possessed had the power to resurrect the dead?
No wonder Zhou Xue wanted it.
“If that’s the case, why did he set a trap for my Young Master? Shouldn’t he have endured for the sake of his mother and fled far away?” Xiao Zi asked in surprise.
Zhao Zhen spread his hands and said, “Where else in other dynasties could he roam freely and kill? If he had gone there, he would sooner or later become a street rat, hunted by the Cultivation World. Plus, he had operated in Grand Qi for so many years; how could he willingly give up everything he controlled? Most importantly, he coveted the Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure belonging to the master. ”
Though constrained by Xiao Zi, he still respectfully referred to Fang Wang as the master, because he could see that Xiao Zi listened to Fang Wang, and it was not a feigned obedience.
Fang Wang, who had just been cooped up in the Heavenly Palace for two hundred and eighty years, found Zhao Zhen’s account of Lu Yuanjun’s story quite intriguing.
Along the way, Zhao Zhen gave directions while revealing Lu Yuanjun’s dirty secrets, Xiao Zi occasionally asked questions, and Fang Wang listened attentively, rarely speaking.
The next afternoon.
Xiao Zi brought Fang Wang to a land of ice and snow. This was the northern part of Grand Qi, and eight hundred miles further north would be the Northern Border, a rival kingdom. Every hundred years, they would attack Grand Qi from the south, becoming Grand Qi’s ancient nemesis. In history, the best result Grand Qi had æainst the Northern Border was driving its armv out without ever truly penetrating into the Northern Border. The reasons were twofold: the harsh climate and the vast distance.
Guided by Zhao Zhen, Xiao Zi landed on a snowy mountain. Fang Wang dismounted, Xiao Zi shrank in size, and the Soul Devouring Gourd on her back became comparatively larger.
A purple snake carrying a gourd looked quite cute, making Fang Wang involuntarily prod the gourd with the tip of his foot, eliciting an annoyed fuss from her.
Zhao Zhen floated in the air, thinking to himself, “So Fang Wang has a taste for this, no wonder he seldom shows his face in public. Could it be that he had been in his cave dwelling all this time…”
As the emperor, Zhao Zhen had enjoyed all sorts of pleasures, but Fang Wang still managed to surprise him.
The Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure is indeed extraordinary.
Soon.
Zhao Zhen stopped and pointed at the mountain wall covered in deep snow ahead of them, “It’s inside here, but there are restrictions on the mountain gate, so it hasn’t revealed itself.”
Fang Wang’s eyes hardened, and a stream of Sword Qi surged forth.
Divine Nurturing Sword Qi!
Boom!
Snow mist soared, debris shot in all directions, and a cave entrance appeared in front of Fang Wang, Zhao Zhen, and Xiao Zi.
