Moreover, when two people travel together, they can avoid and avoid the strange things they encounter. Ideally, they can reach the location as quickly as possible.
However, after what Venerable Haochu had just introduced, Zhao Ning suspected that if he really encountered the remnant soul of an ancient god, avoiding and hiding might not be possible at all.
However, Zhao Ning did not agree to Venerable Haochu's proposal.
She said, "Venerable Haochu, do you know what is going on with outsiders in Zhuzhou?"
Venerable Haochu didn't expect Zhao Ning to suddenly change the subject, but he still replied in a good-tempered manner, "I know it. Tiangong asked Shuanglong to handle it. Although she delayed it for several years, it did not cause a big mess."
"What about the people behind the scenes?" Zhao Ning suddenly said immediately.
"They are the powerful powers of Jiuzhou. They have deceived Tianji. We have no way to deduce the specific person, but they have cut off all possible connections between Zhuzhou and Jiuzhou."
"What about the middleman?" But he didn't want to recruit Ning and asked anyway.
Venerable Haochu's smile could no longer be maintained and he said, "Zhao Ning, it's pointless to get to the bottom of it. Besides, I'm here today to deal with Jiuyou."
Zhao Ning took half a step back and apologized with another salute, "Zhao Ning is not making trouble unreasonably. He came to Zhuzhou originally to find Lan, and he accidentally got involved in the matter of outsiders in Zhuzhou. The matter is right in front of him. If he ignores it, Zhao Ningyu felt uneasy, so he just explored along the way. From Yangzhou to Zhuzhou, and then back to Yangzhou, from Xin Sui to the old man of the Youyue tribe to Yue Lingfei, until he found out from Yue Lingfei's memory that he was the man behind the scenes. The middleman of instructions.”
"However, everything went so smoothly. It was as if Zhao Ning was ready for the next step every time he took it."
Venerable Haochu frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Zhao Ning is saying that if everything is not a coincidence, then there must be a mole around Zhao Ning."
Venerable Haochu frowned even deeper. Zhao Ning was very important to Tiangong. Until the passage to Jiuzhou was found, Tiangong did not allow anyone to cause fatal harm to Zhao Ning.
Venerable Hao Chu was a straightforward person, so when he heard this, he immediately made a prediction for Zhao Ningyan on the spot.
After the calculation, he relaxed his brows and said, "I have calculated your situation for hundreds of years. Although there is some slight danger, it is not a life or death danger."
Venerable Haochu stopped, "Even if there is a ghost around you, it may not cause harm to you, so don't worry."
Zhao Ning only nodded slightly.
Venerable Haochu said again, "In this case, it is indeed reckless for you two to go. I personally arranged for five people to follow you and gave them a mark. If they have murderous intentions for you during this trip, they will immediately be killed by me." The murderous intention backfired."
"Five people?" Besides Xiang Hongxuan and He Jie, who else is there?
Venerable Haochu said with a smile, "The snow is swirling in the Extreme Cold Palace, the wind is clear in Daxuan Mountain, and the ruthless sword Li Jing falls in the Sword Valley."
Zhao Ning was slightly surprised. These people were all people who had achieved high-grade golden elixirs in Jiuzhou. Zhao Ning had been in contact with Zhan Xuexuan when he was in Jihan Palace. Although the latter two had not been in contact, they had already been practicing in Zhao Ning. At that time, the golden elixir was already perfect, and babies should have been born by now.
"Zhao Ning, these are my candidates for the next Heavenly Palace in Jiuzhou. Each one of them is a genius that is rare to meet in thousands of years. Don't let them all fall into Jiuyou."
Zhao Ning sighed slightly and just said "I know..."
Before he could finish his words, Venerable Haochu said again, "Even if they can't come out, you have to come out intact. Do you understand?"
The first half of the sentence is semi-ridiculous, but in the last three words, the tone becomes more serious, and it really brings a sense of oppression.
In any case, Venerable Hao Chu was concerned about his own safety, so Zhao Ning solemnly agreed.
"I will obey His Majesty's decree."
"Yes." Venerable Haochu responded, then waved his sleeves, and the door of the main hall was blown open by the strong wind. Then the scene outside the main hall began to change. First, the scene was distorted, and then the space seemed to have spanned, and the back hall was taking a nap. A place appeared strangely in front of the hall, and then the distance between the two places began to shrink.
This change shocked Xiang Hongxuan and others in the back hall. At the same time, they turned their heads to look outside the hall. They did not react immediately until they met Venerable Haochu and Zhao Ning in the main hall.
Until the changes stopped, the three of them looked at each other, Xiang Hongxuan stood up, and He Jie put down the half-turned storage ring and followed Xiang Hongxuan.
The two people crossed directly from the back hall to the front hall and bowed respectfully.
Xiang Hongxuan said, "I wonder what Venerable Hao Chu's instructions are?"
Venerable Haochu said, "It's not just an order, but it's your opportunity. In recent years, Tiangong has discovered a new entrance to the Nine Netherlands in Youdu, and wants to find a few geniuses to go in and explore it."
He Jie lowered his head to hide the strangeness that flashed across his vision.
Looking up, his eyes widened, full of surprise, "Is this the legendary place where the souls of ancient gods reside?"
"Exactly."
Xiang Hongxuan was also overjoyed, "There is no trace of this place, it is extremely elusive. It is our luck that Your Majesty has given us this opportunity to explore."
"Yes, yes." He Jie followed and echoed, "Venerable Haochu is kind!"
Venerable Haochu nodded with satisfaction and secretly glanced at Zhao Ning, who only nodded very low.
Then they saw Venerable Hao Chu raising his hand and drawing a mark in the air. With a flick of his finger, the mark split into three parts and entered the bodies of the three people.
"This is..." Xiang Hongxuan hesitated for a moment, but quickly covered it up.
Even if he hesitates, how can Master Yuanshen's spells be blocked.
He Jie still maintained the same expression as before, but he was a little more confused.
"Don't panic, you geniuses." Venerable Haochu smiled and opened his eyes to tell lies, "This is the mark of protection. You are the geniuses of our Jiuzhou. You will be very useful people in our Jiuzhou in the future. How can I let you directly Go. It can protect the last bit of your soul."
There was still doubt in Xiang Hongxuan's eyes, but on the surface, he looked suddenly at ease and thanked him together with He Jie.
"Practice carefully and explore carefully." Venerable Haochu instructed, and then said, "There are three more people with you. I will ask them to wait for you at the entrance of Youdu."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Ning.
He waved his hand back and said, "I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute." No one expected that Zhao Ning would speak out at this moment and stop Venerable Haochu from moving. He froze in mid-air, unable to advance or retreat.
But fortunately, Zhao Ning didn't give him time to struggle. With everyone watching, she turned over her hand and saw a fragment wrapped in spiritual light, with the smell of blood still remaining on it.
"That's..." Xiang Hongxuan murmured.
He Jie stared closely.
Zhao Ning didn't pay attention to the reactions of the two of them, and just presented it to Venerable Haochu, "This is a fragment of Yue Lingfei's mask. I would like Venerable Haochu to identify the material of this object and its effect."
Venerable Haochu naturally waved, and the mask fragment fell on his hand.
"It's like sun-ink gold..." He turned it over twice and said to Zhao Ning, "This material is extremely old, and I don't know enough about it. I will ask Venerable Hongde for you when I return to the Heavenly Palace."
Zhao Ning looked through the ancient books in Wangxian Death City and Wanzhi, but could not find a detailed explanation about it. She knew that it was an extremely rare thing, so she was not in a hurry to get the answer.
"Then there is Venerable Lao Haochu."
"It's okay. Let's go."
The three of them sent off in unison.
Venerable Hao Chu stepped up, paused again, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ning to make sure that Zhao Ning did not stop him on a "whim", and then left directly.
After Lord Haochu left, the changes in Qingyue Palace returned to normal.
The three of them stood in the main hall. He Jie glanced at Xiang Hongxuan. He seemed to be suffocated again. He frowned and changed to a more natural look.
"Brother Shen, why did you just give the pieces of Yue Lingfei's mask to Venerable Haochu? Is it possible that Yue Lingfei still has any problems?"
"No." Zhao Ning said lightly, "I'm just curious about what his mask is made of. Maybe it's some kind of spiritual thing that reaches the sky. I've never seen a spiritual thing that reaches the sky."
He Jie suddenly said, "So that's it. Speaking of which, I'm also very curious. Boss Shen is still very good. He hid a piece of mask without anyone noticing. It was clear that Boss Xiang and I handled Yue Lingfei's body in the end. , but none of them were found.”
"When I looked back, a piece of debris happened to fly by. It just happened." Even Zhiyue said with a slight sway of her sleeves.
Probably sensing the departure of Lord Haochu, Zhiyue quickly teleported to the main hall.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? The space was distorted just now. I thought something happened. I was so frightened that I didn't even know how to deal with it."
He Jie said, "It's nothing. We received an opportunity from Venerable Haochu to explore Jiuyou."
Zhiyue's eyes lit up. Zhiyue also yearned for this place that only existed in ancient myths. However, when she thought of her own situation, her expectations instantly collapsed.
But she was in a good mood. Since she didn't hear anything, she just pretended that she didn't hear anything.
Then Zhiyue approached Zhao Ning and asked casually, "Zhao Ning, is this why Venerable Hao Chu came to you in the first place?"
Zhao Ning said without changing her expression, "By the way, I will inform Tiangong about Yue Lingfei."
"Did the palace say anything that day..."
Zhao Ning just shook his head lightly and walked out until he reached the back hall.
He Jie asked, "Boss Shen, it will take some time for Venerable Haochu to arrange for several other masters. Why don't we divide the spoils in Qingyue Palace first? This is Yue Lingfei's life savings."
"It's up to you." Zhao Ning answered casually and plainly.
Several people once again sat on various seats in the back hall.
He Jie was slightly distressed, "It's true that Yue Lingfei is the leader of a sect. I don't see many good things in this storage ring. They are just ordinary spiritual weapons and elixirs."
"Let me take a look." Zhao Ning could hardly say anything.
He Jie didn't care and handed it directly to Zhao Ning. This storage street was ordinary, but there were extremely many types and quantities.
It's like Yue Lingfei moved all the things that didn't attract attention from Tianyang Immortal Sect into the storage ring.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Ning saw something in his storage ring.
She took out the object and unfolded it. It looked like an ordinary stone, but there was no barrier for her spiritual consciousness to penetrate it. What was strange was that there was a mark hidden in the center of the stone.
This mark...
Zhao Ning seemed to have seen it before, until he realized after half a breath that it was the symbol of the Netherworld Auction.
Speaking of which, the text layout and corresponding explanations on the notices in Zhuzhou Lingyu Village seem to be similar to the introduction of the auction items at the Netherworld Auction.
Zhao Ning was counting her breaths while He Jie kept watching, "Oh, isn't that the invitation stone for the Netherworld Auction?"
He smiled and said, "Boss Shen, have you ever been to the Nether Auction? I heard that everything is sold at this auction, and there are more types than the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. It's just that the time and location of the Nether Auction are uncertain, but if there is this invitation stone , half a year before the Nether Auction starts, it will dimly light up, showing the time and place on the surface of the invitation stone."
"I've been there once." Zhao Ning responded, "It's very... magical."
Xiang Hongxuan also said, "I heard that the owner of the Netherworld Auction is a powerful figure no less than the Lord of the Netherworld. There was a turmoil in the Netherworld decades ago, but that Netherworld Auction seemed to have been interrupted for a while. The quality of the auction items seems to be no longer what it used to be.”
Zhiyue said, "What Boss Xiang means is that maybe the owner of this Nether Auction is the Lord of Netherworld, but he changed the person after the turmoil?"
Xiang Hongxuan paused and suddenly didn't know what to say.
But He Jie laughed and said, "Zhiyue, your statement is strange. There is no connection between the Lord of the Netherworld and that turmoil. How can you deduce that there is a different person?"
Zhiyue didn't show any embarrassment at all, and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, if nothing happens, I will try to maintain my previous reputation. Otherwise, like Boss Xiang, who can see at a glance that the quality is not good, his reputation and reputation will fall along with it."
He Jie was silent, unable to find a reason to refute for a while.
Xiang Hongxuan's focus is not on the matter itself, but on the association of what they did, "It seems that there are hidden mysteries in the Netherworld of Cultivation, so we should be careful during this trip."
Everyone responded.
