The Light Smoke Hall was still a bustling place reserved for the Divine Martial City nobles. The only difference was that when Leng Jun asked around, he was told that Yuan Hong was no longer in the Qingyan Hall. As for where Yuan Hong had gone to, no one knew. It was as if this woman had never existed, vanishing from this world out of thin air.

Leng Jun was feeling very downcast. The first reason was because he was humiliated and had found fault with his. This was the most tragic ending for an official courtesan, and also the most common result. Because it was related to the reputation of the government courtesans' hall, such matters would usually be concealed. As for the dead officials and prostitutes, they were usually described as missing.

The other outcome was that he would be chosen by the nobles, be bought back as a maid, or be taken in as a concubine. For an official courtesan, this was undoubtedly the best result. Although entering a large family may not necessarily result in a good life, the wife or the house in the house would usually humiliate them. However, compared to living under the pressure of thousands and thousands of people, he was undoubtedly living like a person.

But no matter which of these two results it was, to Leng Jun, it was not a good result. He felt that he had let down Yuan Hong's heart, and this made him feel like a heartless person.

Since Yuan Hong was no longer present, Leng Jun had no interest of staying in the Qingyan Hall. After he left the hall, he found a small tavern and got drunk. Leng Jun only packed up after drinking until it was night, preparing to probe the Divine Palace once again to find the God Clan and Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy that Hua Linglong had mentioned.

Leng Jun had already come here more than once, and was already familiar with the road. He pierced through the roof and spine but he was still like a headless fly, without any clues regarding the God Clan and Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy.

Leng Jun had thought of capturing a servant within the Divine Palace and ask them about the location of the chant. But then he thought, could he not help but curse himself for being an idiot? That Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy was an absolute secret within the God Clan, how would ordinary Divine Palace servants know?

Leng Jun found a pavilion, and when he reached the roof of the pavilion, he secretly pondered about where the Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy would be placed. He muttered to himself, ”The South Heavenly King's Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy was imprinted on a jade plate, and the Nanqiao Sect's Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy was imprinted within the Sect Master's golden seal. From the looks of it, the key parts of the God Clan and Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy should also be carved on this kind of treasure. But, what would be more valuable than jade? ”

Leng Jun could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, but he had a new goal in mind. Just like the past few times, he wanted to look for the treasury inside the Divine Palace.

With the experience from the previous few times, it was now even easier for Leng Jun to find treasures. After a night of work, he once again plundered quite a few gems from the Divine Palace. Ever since he had the experience from Sky City's auction, Leng Jun was especially fond of gems. This sort of convenient carrying and expensive things suited his conduct of taking advantage of the situation.

But unfortunately, after a busy night, up to the point where the sky in the east had turned white, Leng Jun still had not found the thing that recorded the God Clan and Pithy Formula of Elemental Energy.

Leng Jun was disappointed, but could only leave. However, before Leng Jun could even walk out of the Divine Palace, he was already stopped by three people.

The leader of the three was not tall, but his expression was cold and he didn't say a word. The one on the left looked majestic, and his face was filled with pride. Even his eyes had never seen someone being chopped off before. On the right side was an appearance of a transcendent being, filled with righteousness.

Leng Jun did not recognize them, and these three people were the three Sword Gods who were guarding the Divine Palace. The one in the middle was the one known as the strongest in the continent, Luo Tian. The one on the left was Tong Jiuzhou, who came from East Astral Sect.

Tong Jiuzhou was the first to make a move, he pulled out his sword and pointed it at Leng Jun, saying, ”Little thief, you actually stole treasures from the Divine Palace multiple times, you really didn't put us in your eyes. You little thief, hurry up and tell me your name. Also, return the golden silk clothing, I might leave you with a complete corpse.
