Chapter 877: Return to the Imperial Phoenix Palace

ly waved her hand, "I'm not familiar with him, I just saw him being bundled into a sack by another group of people.""The girl surnamed Song spoke first: 'This stinky mouth of his doesn't know how many...The Bing Huang God Soul is the core source of power for the entire formation.

As long as the ice phoenix soul is stable, the entire Eight Directions Soul Suppression Array will be unshakable.

Qingyun was also a little surprised.

With Shiwan's help, it took nine months to finally fully repair the Binghuang Divine Soul, and even the Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Array became incredibly stable.

There have been no tremors from underground for the past seven months.

Qing Yun is finally free from being confined to the area.

Just finished everything, Gong Qi was still thinking about whether to go for a stroll in the Chaos Realm.

Gong Shaojun, who was far away in the Dihuang Palace, seemed to have guessed Gong Qi's every move and sent two letters shortly after.

One is for Gong Qi, asking her to return to Di Huang Palace as soon as possible, saying that they have found what is needed to detoxify.

Another one is for Qingyun.

The letter didn't say much, just that the situation in the icy waters had stabilized and allowed Qingyun to return to Di Huang Palace first.

Qing Yun saw the letter and his gaze fell on Gong Qi: "Did you give news to the Emperor"

Palace Seven shook her head firmly. "Of course not!"

"How could the Emperor suddenly summon me back"

Qingyun had already been in the cold waters for over three thousand years. Gong Shaojun never called her back, neither early nor late, but it happened to be at this time.

Isn't that a bit too coincidental

Gong Qi resolutely stated, "I absolutely never relayed any messages from my mother."

A glimmer of thought flashed across Qing Yun's eyes.

Gong Qi whispered, "Perhaps my mother is a fortune teller Did she calculate everything beforehand"

Gong Qi's words are not entirely without basis.

When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, their perception of all things in the world becomes stronger, meaning they can glimpse into the secrets of heaven.

"Perhaps so."

Qing Yun didn't spend any more time probing, instead he packed his things and left with Gong Qi together.

While it's called tidying up, there's not much to actually tidy.

Shi Wan was hugging Gong Qi's thigh, determined to follow Gong Qi.

Palace Qi thought about Shi Wan's injuries not yet healed, wanting her to recuperate here for a few more years. But Shi Wan quietly followed Palace Qi all the way as they left.

Palace Seven sighed helplessly, and could only bring it along.

All the way through wind and snow, Gong Qi had smoothly returned to Dihuang Palace.

On the road, I heard a lot about her third sister stirring up trouble in the Chaotic Realm. She single-handedly ventured into the territory of the Heaven and Earth Inferno Dragon, fought several times, and obtained the dragon emperor's blood essence.

The Dragon Emperor's Blood is not actually blood, but the Heavenly Fire Dragon Clan's Dragon Emperor's blood crown atop its head.

Gong San taking this object is equivalent to slapping the face of the Heaven and Earth Inferno Dragon Emperor, which is extremely humiliating.

It is rumored that she was chased by the Heavenly Fire Dragon all the way out of the Chaotic Realm before finding a moment of peace.

Gong Qi heard Gong San so desperately searching for a cure for her, she had a slightly bad feeling.

After all, her elder sister never suffered any losses.

By the time they reached the Imperial Palace, both Gong Qi and Qing Yun were summoned by the Young Master of the Palace.

As it happens, Gong San was also there.

She glanced at Gong Qi nonchalantly. When her gaze landed on Qing Yun, it paused.

A flicker of emotion crossed Palace Seven's eyes, something Qing Yun couldn't decipher, and then... his gaze locked onto Qing Yun.

Gong Qi stood in front of Qing Yun, "Third Sister, what are you looking at"

Palace Three's red lips moved slightly, her icy voice carrying a natural sense of authority.

Who is she

"Do you know her" Palace Seven felt that Palace Three's eyes were wrong, and immediately asked back.

Upon being asked that, Gong San let out a sudden, light chuckle. There was no hint of joy in it, only an air of meaning.

"I don't recognize you. But I have a feeling we've met somewhere before."

"Master, do you know my third sister"

Gong Qi, in front of Gong Shaojun, didn't hold back at all and directly asked the question.

Qingyun's eyes held a hint of helplessness, "I don't know this fellow Taoist."

When Gong San was imprisoned in the eighteen layers of hell, Qing Yun hadn't arrived in the upper realm yet.

After she ascended to the upper realm, Palace Three was kept imprisoned. The two were fundamentally unable to have a chance meeting.

Gong Shaojun sat in the first place, his eyes slightly drooping, taking everything in.

Palace Shaojun first sized up Palace Qi one circle, before softly saying, "The trip to the Cold Water Domain, it seems you gained a lot."

Gong Qi first was stunned, “Mother, what do you mean by this”

She feigned surprise, "Could it be that you already knew about what happened to me in the icy waters"

Actually, Gong Qi had already guessed it. When Gong Shaojun asked that question, her guess was confirmed.

Gong Shaojun: "Indeed, I know a little."

Gong Qi smiled sarcastically: "You're so humble."

Hearing this, you know it's impossible to be just a little.

I'm afraid she might be pursued all the way by Fei Wu, and even the mastermind behind Fei Wu, her mother knows everything about them

Thinking about this, Gong Qi suddenly gathered her courage and asked, "Mother, do you know who arranged for them to pursue me"

Visibly, both Gong Shaojun and Gong San's faces stiffened.

It was probably the first time I saw Gong Qi so direct.

Gong Shaojun looked at her quietly, "You'll know soon enough."

"How soon is soon"

Gong Qi now is just like a stubborn child, insisting on getting to the bottom of things.

Gong Shaojun calmly asked back, "How fast do you want"

Palace Seven subconsciously replied, "Of course the sooner the better."

It's best to tell her now.

Gong Shaojun: "Then you go check it yourself."

Gong Qi:：“……”

Her mother was definitely not so easy to deal with.

Gong Shaojun ignored Gong Qi's needs and continued, "Bodhi mind is rare, but if it's exchanged for a human heart, it might not be suitable. The High Priest said your heart-changing technique was very successful, but it has always failed to merge with the Bodhi mind, so he cast a divination for you. The divination said that your turning point is in the cold water domain."

Palace Shaojun is explaining to Palace Qi why he agreed to let Palace Qi go to Hanshui alone.

"Only when faced with life or death can one awaken to the bodhicitta and merge with you as one. This time, I am not disregarding your safety."

Gong Qi nodded vigorously, like pounding garlic: "I know!"

"Mother was right to calculate that Master would be there. She knew that if I encountered a life-or-death crisis, Master would definitely come to my aid in time"

Gong Shaojun smiled but said nothing, which could also be considered a tacit acceptance.

In fact, Gong Qi still had doubts.

Is her mother so certain she can walk safely into the icy waters

Palace Three suddenly asked, "Master, when did you become a disciple Your master isn't Shang Yun from Fei Xian Ge, is he"

"Third Sister knows quite a lot, but I learned the Immortal Array from Master Shang Lao when I came to the Xuan Tian Realm. My master was my teacher in the Cang Wu realm, and she's the one who led me into cultivation."

Gong San clearly knew that Gong Qi had gone to the eighteen layers of hell, yet he was aware exactly where Gong Qi went to seek a master and who she learned from.

Gong Qi's face appeared calm, but inside she was already somewhat on guard.

Gong San smiled faintly: "Your master in the lower realm…"

Her long, narrow eyes held a hint of depth.

Palace Three suddenly said: “The Emperor must have seen me stirring up trouble in the Jinfeng Clan, which is why he sent you to the Cold Water Realm. Why do you think you could arrive at the Cold Water Realm safely”

When Gungyi returned, she already knew about Gongsan's commotion in the Jinfeng clan.

As this was the first thing she did after leaving the dungeon, it caused quite a stir. Everyone speculated that when Palace Three schemed against Palace Two, resulting in both of them being badly injured, could there have been the North Border Young Master's hand in it

An old case, dragged into the affairs of three young lords from the North.

Such a major piece of news would have naturally spread throughout the Three Realms long ago. Even the later events, such as Palace Master San's rampage in the Chaotic Realm and his playfulness with the Heavenly Profound Dragon Clan, couldn't overshadow this news.

Gong Qi did not expect that it was Gong San's commotion before entering the Chaos Realm that had won him a period of safety.

No!

Gong Qi suddenly focused his gaze, looking at Gong San.

In the "Three Tales of the Palace," it means that Pi Fei came to hunt her down, it was her brother she had never met!

Gong Qi again looked at Gong Shaojun, and Gong Shaojun was still that calm and composed.

So... her older brother was the one who actually killed her

This time, Gong Qi was clever and didn't ask any more questions.

Gong Qi returned to the topic: "Mother, you called my master back, how do you plan to arrange her"

Gong Shaojun: “I thought you would ask yourself first”

Gong Shaojun didn't know whether to say that Gong Qi was magnanimous or bold.

Qing Yun was unimpeded, but Gong Qi himself had the Ninefold Phoenix Fire Poison on his body. A single misstep could cost him his life.

At this time, Gong Qi didn't care about his own poison at all.

Gong Qi: "If my poison could be cured, Mother would definitely help me cure it immediately. If not, what's the use of me being in a hurry"

For a moment, everyone in the hall was speechless.

Gong Shaojun then said, "Qing Yun is waiting at the Di Huang Palace now, I have my own arrangements. As for Xiao Qi... all the things needed for detoxification are already ready. It's best to remove the fire poison in your body as soon as possible."

"Everything listens to mother."

Gong Qi presented herself as very well-behaved.

She took a mouthful from one side, and another from the other, making Palace Third feel rather uncomfortable, even disgusted.

As they exited the gates of Emperor Phoenix Palace, Gong San reminded Gong Qi in a neutral tone: "Within Emperor Phoenix Palace, there are only emperors and subjects, no such thing as mother and daughter."

Palace Seven wasn't afraid at all: "When I called, Mother didn't say anything either I came from a small place and haven't had as much experience as Third Sister. Please forgive me, Third Sister."

It's true, the way Gong Qi speaks is quite similar to Gong Liu.

Gong San squinted her eyes, but said nothing, then turned and left.

Gong Qi was still a little surprised.

She was still waiting for Gong San to mention the Heaven, Earth, Xuan Ming Dragon and come to her for repayment. Gong San left so abruptly that Gong Qi felt a little disbelief.

But since Palace Three didn't provoke trouble, Palace Seven was happy to relax.

When Gong Qi left the Dihuang Palace, Qing Yun was left alone.

Qingyun still thought that Gong Shaojun had some secret mission to give her.

Unexpectedly, the young lord of the palace only said in a calm voice: "Do you still remember who you are"

Qingyun was taken aback.

She slowly repeated Gong Shaojun's question: "Who am I"

"I am Qingyun, a cultivator from the Cangwu realm. I met you, who came down to earth to cross the tribulation, by chance and became your confidante. Later, with your help, I was able to ascend to the upper realm and was then dispatched to the Hanshui domain to guard the Second Young Master…"

Qingyun said while matching these things with his memories.

She clearly remembered everything that happened in the Cangwu realm.

The more I think about it, the more certain I am that my memory is correct.

So, what does Gong Shaojun mean by that

When you first ascended to the celestial realm, I sent you to the frigid waters. Didn't you have any questions about it

Qing Yun's voice was soft, "......The Emperor helped me cultivate and ascend, I received the Emperor's grace, and I do things for the Emperor...There is no doubt."

Gong Shaojun let out a long sigh.

“I sent you to the Coldwater Territory because you are the most suitable.”

Qing Yun thought about all that happened when he first arrived at the Cold Water Domain. He suddenly widened his eyes: "The Immortal Formation suppressing the Second Young Master was personally arranged by the Emperor. The Emperor should also be aware of the Second Young Master's frequent rebellions and the instability of the Eight Directions Soul-Binding Array... yet, right now, the Seventh Young Master has arrived and even helped me repair the Eight Directions Soul-Binding Array."

Just then, Gong Shaojun sent a letter, urgently summoning her back.

All the things happening in the frigid waters must be connected somehow. Qing Yun couldn't help but overthink it.

If all of this was arranged by Gong Shaojun.

Qing Yun suddenly raised his head: "Could it be that I have some kind of connection with the second young master"

Gong Shaojun said: "I feel at ease letting Xiaqi go to the Hanshui domain alone because of you. At the same time, I sent Xiaqi to the Hanshui domain for you as well."

"For me" Qing Yun's eyes were a little stunned.

Gong Shaojun's thin lips moved slightly, spitting out two words.

QIngyun suddenly widened his eyes, the hall was deathly silent.

……

After leaving the Dihuang Palace, Gong Qi's first visit was to the Grand Priest Rong Zhan.

She's lucky, Rong Zhan is still in the Di Huang Palace.

Gong Qi also sometimes really acts so carelessly, not taking his own life seriously at all.

She is still afraid of the fire poison within her.

When I found the high priestess, she was treating Gung-Li's wounds.

Gong Qi saw Gong Liu lying on the Bingyun Ruyi bed, curiously湊 over: "What's wrong with her"

It looks pretty bad.

Rong Zhan glanced at her, "What's the matter"

"If I wasn't in trouble, I wouldn't come looking for you"

Rong Zhan: “...You’ve been to the Coldwater Realm, so you've gotten braver”

Palace Qi looked at Rong Zan treating Palace Li with a serious expression: "What delicious things has my sixth sister done recently"

Her expression was one of pure amusement, watching the drama unfold. To be honest, it was rather irritating to Rong Zan.

"Wouldn't you inquire about these things yourself"

Isn't this just asking you about it

Rongzhan: "..."

How many children does Gong Shaojun have Among them, Gong Qi has quite a unique temper.

He couldn't help but ask again, "What brings you to see me"

Gong Qi saw Rong Zhan's face was a little troubled, and he straightened his expression: "I was being chased in the Cold Water Domain, I got hurt, and it seems like the curse seal is also cracked."

I thought to myself, at our age, how can we lack such patience

Rong Zhan frowned: "You sit and meditate on the side for a while, I'll take a look at you later."

Gong Qi readily waved his hand: "It's nothing, you first heal Sixth Sister's illness, don't let anything happen to her. I'll just take a stroll here..."

Rong Zhan raised his palm, and a row of fine ice-shard needles floated above it instantly.

He raised an eyebrow, glancing at Gong Qi lightly, as if asking, "Want to try this needle"

Palace Seven wisely closed his mouth.

Palace Seven glanced over.

Gong Liu had no visible wounds on her body, but a heavy chill permeated her internal organs, as if she had been struck by some kind of cold poison.

Her whole body was a shade of blue, as if covered in frost. Her lips were purplish, like those of a corpse.

Gong Qi knows that Gong Liu always loves to cause trouble.

This time, I don't know if it was caught by someone's scheme, or if I offended someone who is hard to mess with.

Gong Qi waited for a moment, and Gong Liu's entire body was covered in Bing Po cold needles.

The Bing Po Han Zhen initially resembled silver needles forged from ice. After piercing Gong Liu's body, they gradually turned gray and black.

Even the needle tail has black venom seeping out.
