Chapter 1102: Chapter 255: The Upheaval of Penglai
"Jiuluan Clan! Di Clan! Fine, fine, you dare defy
again and again. If I could obtain the Beast God’s power of faith, how would you dare oppose ," the Third Priest fud.
But the Third Priest, despite cursing, could only watch as Lu and Zi strode away.
He looked unwillingly towards the direction of the Dutian Blood Realm.
Under the effect of the new Dutian Blood Seal, the barrier of the Dutian Blood Realm had regained stability, and the blood-red brilliance of the blood realm was now enveloped in a light power as warm as sunshine.
The Third Priest knew that now, even if the High Priest arrived, he might not be able to directly break the realm’s new barrier.
Yet, the Third Priest was not ready to give up.
"Humans, don’t think you’ve already won, hehe, just wait, when the High Priest gains the great Beast God power, you’ll fall into unending hell," the Third Priest showed a aningful cruel smile, and his figure flashed, disappearing into the boundless and infinite Chaos Zone.
The matter of the blood realm was temporarily concluded due to the sacrifice of Gu Feng and Ji Ru Mo.
After parting ways with the Yuan siblings, Yun Sheng imdiately rushed to Penglai.
The purpose of Yun Sheng’s trip to Penglai was twofold: to return the shattered Heavenly Destiny Mirror to Chang Siming and to inquire about the whereabouts of the Netherworld Ghost Key from Chang Siming.
Upon arriving in Penglai, Yun Sheng first went to the Penglai Sea Floor and learned about the Molten Fire Venerable.
The Molten Fire Venerable inford Yun Sheng that after the death of the Magic Temple’s First Main Summoner, the volcano seal had temporarily stabilized, and he could ensure the volcano seal would remain trouble-free for several years.
"Fire Venerable, I’ll temporarily entrust the protection of Penglai to you. Ji Ru Mo’s death, more or less, has sothing to do with , so I owe Penglai in a way. In the future, if you discover any movents from the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, inform
imdiately," though the First Main Summoner was eliminated, Yun Sheng felt that the Bahuang Tribe and the Beast God Altar wouldn’t easily give up invading the Wuji Continent.
After instructing the Molten Fire Venerable with a few words, Yun Sheng set off for Penglai Island.
At Penglai Island’s harbor, Yun Sheng unexpectedly t the Demon Beast rchant Chang Wei, whom she had befriended on her way to Penglai.
Chang Wei was preparing to leave Penglai with his family, having rented a ship. Ever since Yun Sheng subdued the Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower, the sea area of Penglai had cald significantly.
Fishing and comrcial shipping had beco much easier.
"Isn’t it the Regent King herself, what a coincidence, I was just about to seek you out," to avoid attracting attention, Yun Sheng had resud her male attire before arriving in Penglai.
Upon seeing Yun Sheng, Chang Wei quickly approached, full of flattery.
The deaths of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor and Penglai Princess Ji Ru Mo brought significant impact to Penglai.
The Summoning Court had already disbanded.
Many of Penglai’s subjects were also leaving, migrating to other regions. Penglai, once prosperous, suddenly looked desolate and lonely.
Chang Wei’s purpose in finding Yun Sheng was to request a recomndation letter to migrate to Great Zhou Yujing.
"Uncle Chang, why do you want to go through all the trouble to move to Great Zhou? From what I know, the nearest place to Penglai is Hou Qin," writing a recomndation letter was a re triviality for Yun Sheng, yet Yun Sheng couldn’t grasp why Chang Wei would opt for a distant relocation to Great Zhou.
"Haha, Regent King, you may not be aware, after the Dutian Blood Seal incident, the Emperor Dugu of Hou Qin also went missing, rumors abound that he colluded with the Hei Qilin Clan of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan. Hou Qin is now in chaos. As for the other countries, Xianju is the Elf Country, Tangyuan Crown Prince is incompetent, Great Zhou is comparatively reliable. Not only , but many of Penglai’s wealthier families and so summoners also want to go to Great Zhou now," Chang Wei further inford Yun Sheng that the price of a recomndation letter for Great Zhou had risen to ten thousand purple gold coins and was hard to co by.
Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng exchanged a glance with Gold Coin.
The decline of Penglai and Hou Qin was quite an opportunity for Great Zhou.
Why not seize this chance to recruit talent from Penglai and Hou Qin, this would be a significant boost for Great Zhou.
"Uncle Chang, rest assured, here is my warrant, you can gather so rchants and summoners from Penglai and go to Great Zhou together. By then, soone will write recomndation letters for you," Yun Sheng took this chance to draw many rchants and summoners from Penglai into Great Zhou.
This laid a solid foundation for Great Zhou to beco one of the most powerful countries on the Wuji Continent, alongside the Donghuang Dynasty, for hundreds of years later.
After arranging Chang Wei’s matters, Yun Sheng found out that Chang Siming was at the Summoning Court.
Chang Siming publicly revealed his past as the apprentice brother to the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, and after the court dissolved, to prevent turmoil, he had already integrated so people into the Magic Temple.
Following the death of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor and the loss of his beloved disciple, Chang Siming felt so discomfort towards Yun Sheng, as their deaths were sowhat related to her.
When eting Chang Siming, Yun Sheng was slightly anxious, fearing he might harbor resentnt.
Upon seeing Yun Sheng, Chang Siming’s expression remained calm. Most of Chang Siming’s magical powers had been transferred to Gu Feng, making him appear as an elderly man in twilight years.
He had delegated most of the Magic Temple’s affairs to Ji Ru Mo’s apprentice brother, Ru Yi, and planned to spend the rest of his life in Penglai.
"I was born in Penglai and will die in Penglai; that’s my fate," Chang Siming’s voice teed with tranquility. This wise elder had predicted nurous fates throughout his life; yet, when it ca to his own life and death, he seed indifferent.
"The reason I asked you to co to Penglai, you must already know, you have been searching for the Netherworld Ghost Key," Chang Siming said as he took out a box and handed it to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng opened the box, inside was a pitch-black ancient key, and accompanying the key was a letter.
The ink on the letter had long since dried; it was written by Ji Ru Mo before leaving Penglai.
"That foolish child Ru Mo probably knew she couldn’t escape this fate and had planned everything ahead. Jingxin Linglong was always a transparent person, except in matters of love, where he made a muddled decision, leading to his current plight," Chang Siming expressed remorse.
Ji Ru Mo was Chang Siming’s most promising disciple, to whom he had carefully imparted his knowledge, but he hadn’t anticipated that Ji Ru Mo would end with a shattered mirror and a ruined person.
Chang Siming sighed deeply.
Even so, he refused to accept the Heavenly Destiny Mirror.
"Now that the Heavenly Destiny Mirror has been damaged, keeping it with
is of no use; I’ll give it to you. I’m sure Ru Mo would agree with my decision,"
After speaking, Chang Siming waved his hand, issuing a dismissal.
