Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 92 Liu Ruyan is furious! My Bronze Palace!

Ling Qingxue has now reached the first level of the Transcendent Realm, while Zheng Feifeng, the senior sister of the Tianyan Sword Sect, is only at the peak of the Soul Forging Realm!

Of course, Zheng Feifeng didn't break through his cultivation level in order to protect Luo Hongxi on her way to Immortal Fall Mountain.

However, from another perspective, the most outstanding disciples in a super power should be between the peak of Soul Forging and the early stage of Mortal Transformation.

The Wentian Sect is also a super power, so its disciple Liu Ruyan's cultivation level is not too high.

With him there, Qingxue will be safe.

"I will obey your command, young master!" Ling Qingxue put on the mask and activated the Nine Heavens Sacred Body Dao Embryo, raising her strength to its limit. In that instant, she stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Ruyan, wielding the Qilin Bone Club and swinging it at her.

The person had already arrived, but the voice had only just reached them.

Rumble! ...

The force of this blow directly shook the void, causing astonishing ripples to spread throughout the space.

Liu Ruyan's pupils contracted in shock at this sudden turn of events.

The newcomer's aura was too strong, as if he had a desperate, all-out attitude!

Coupled with the sudden burst of powerful strength, even she felt that she would be injured even if she withstood this sneak attack.

'What a pity about this clone…' Liu Ruyan raised her hand to block.

Click.

A crisp sound!

Her arm was smashed off on the spot by the bone club, and she was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Seeing the woman with a pockmarked face attack, Liu Ruyan shouted in a low voice:

"I have no grudges against outsiders! Could you be sent by that white-haired man?!"

Those who had a grudge against her are all dead.

Since this woman refused to help Zhang Fenghua when he was in danger, she was very likely sent by that mysterious white-haired man!

Ling Qingxue remained silent, only knowing to charge forward with the bone club in hand.

"Next time we meet, let's have a proper spar!" Liu Ruyan smiled faintly, her body emitting wisps of black mist that dissipated like smoke.

"I haven't told you to leave yet!" Ling Qingxue's eyes narrowed, and a glint of light flashed between her brows.

A bronze ancient palace rose into the air, emanating an extremely terrifying pressure!

Rumble!!!

In an instant, the old temple was crushed into ashes by the oppressive force released by the bronze hall. Ripples of oppressive force, like huge waves, rushed towards Liu Ruyan, attempting to break her escape technique.

The Yin-Yang Cauldron, an imperial weapon, was not suitable for use because Ling Qingxue knew that the Sage in Plain Clothes was still following behind her.

However, this bronze palace doesn't have the unique inscriptions and aura of an imperial weapon, so it's fine to use it.

'What is this?!' When Liu Ruyan saw the ancient, mottled palace in the air that had such a familiar aura, she could no longer remain calm.

Her face was contorted with twisted jealousy at that moment, and her voice became sharp:

"You stole the ancient palace!!"

Her inheritance comes from the Eternal Emperor, which records a bronze ancient palace in the Sea of ​​Soul Crossing that is suspected to be a celestial artifact!

The Eternal Emperor used the laws emanating from the ancient palace to create a forbidden zone of life that inspired awe in all living beings, thereby replenishing himself.

The Bronze Immortal Palace is also the fundamental reason why the Eternal Emperor was able to attain the status of Emperor four times!

As an inheritor, Liu Ruyan naturally received the benefits of crossing the Soul Sea.

Even the Eternal Emperor coveted the Bronze Immortal Palace, and she was no exception.

But the Bronze Palace had vanished without a trace during the turbulent days of crossing the Soul Sea!

I never imagined that this damned woman would get her hands on it!

Anger, hatred, rage!!

She wished she could skin the treasure thief alive on the spot:

"Thief! That's my Bronze Palace!!"

'Huh?!' Ling Qingxue's eyes twitched. She hadn't expected Liu Ruyan to be connected with the underwater inheritance.

In the past, she would have been interested in learning more, but now that she's more open-minded, she's no longer interested in her background.

"Yours? Just call out and the Bronze Palace will respond, then I'll give it to you!" A cold smile played on Ling Qingxue's lips as she stared at Liu Ruyan, whose face was ashen, and amplified the ancient palace's oppressive aura once more.

"Looks like you're not up to the task! Quickly tell me why you killed Zhang Fenghua, and I might spare your life!"

"Heh." Liu Ningyan gritted her teeth in hatred, enunciating each word clearly:

"No need! Next time we meet, I will definitely take this ancient palace!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her body disintegrated, leaving only a scarecrow emitting blue smoke on the ground.

"A clone artifact?!" Ling Qingxue frowned as she put away the Bronze Palace and the Qilin Bone Staff. This kind of life-saving technique was extremely difficult to deal with.

'It's a pity I didn't get to fight her and leave a replica of her...'

This woman's lineage was likely taught by the person behind the Soul-Crossing Sea Eye, so her strength must be considerable!

Unfortunately, the other party was quite decisive, preferring to abandon the clone rather than expose too much.

'If it were me, I'd take them all down with a single wave of Annihilation Essence and reforge them!' Shen Yun said with a hint of regret.

"It's alright, Qingxue. We can fight again next time. No matter how many ways she can protect herself, we can just overpower her."

These methods are connected to a cultivator's very essence; defeating them once will damage their essence and fortune, and if it happens several times, Liu Ruyan will be ruined.

"Yes, Qingxue understands." Ling Qingxue pursed her lips, her eyes filled with shyness as she slipped away.

She had been too busy fighting to pay attention to that earlier, but now that it was over, she remembered the time she had cultivated her soul with the young master that morning, and felt quite awkward and embarrassed.

This was the second time she had embarrassed herself in front of the young master: 'I'd better be more composed next time, otherwise the young master will say my Dao heart is unstable again...'

She dared not think any further and quickly stopped the images from flashing through her mind:

"By the way, young master, I heard that the major merchant guilds in the Eastern Region are holding a barter event for cultivators. I'll go see if I can get some favor items for you."

She knew that besides herself, there were others who were also 'behind-the-scenes' figures like the young master, and the Chamber of Commerce likely discovered this by holding this event!

In fact, Yaochi had asked her about this matter, and she had already given a general explanation.

The fact that major chambers of commerce are holding this event now suggests they may be planning to recruit cultivators like her!

Although the merchant guild that had been on good terms with Yaochi last time brought a lot of treasures, this event has gathered all the major business families in the Eastern Region, making it an unprecedented event. It is expected that there will be some good gains!

"Alright." Shen Yun instructed, "Don't neglect your cultivation on the journey. If you have any questions about cultivation, don't hesitate to ask. I'll answer them when I arrive."

"Yes, thank you, young master." Ling Qingxue smiled faintly.

The fact that the young master has been focusing on his cultivation and growth shows that he is happy to have her in his heart.

Seeing Ling Qingxue leave, Shen Yun exited the interface, opened the [Behind-the-Scenes Information Device], and entered [Liu Ruyan]:

"If this woman has someone behind her, go ask them what they're up to..."

[Ding! This cultivator is currently not bound to any player.]

'It seems we can only solve the mystery later...' Shen Yun wasn't surprised. There are so many Xuan Tian cultivators, but only a few billion players. It's normal that they haven't been bound together yet.

After closing the notifications, Shen Yun saw Luo Hongxi refining pills. He checked the daily character stats and, finding nothing significant, exited the game.

There's no more spending in the game today, I'll check again tomorrow.

He stretched, then lay down on the bed with Bai Xian'er in his arms.

"After a busy day, time for a good night's sleep!"

It's great to have automatic cultivation; you don't have to worry about it and have plenty of time to cultivate.

"Brother Yun, was the game boring today? Why did you log off so early?" Bai Xian'er looked up with a curious expression.

This is the calmest moment for Shen Yun while playing the game; normally, he would be either bursting with anger or burning with rage.

"Interesting, but people need to be busy too. I need to conserve my energy and wait for the Evil Soul Hall people to show their faces so I can take them down in no time." Shen Yun pressed his face against Bai Xian'er's body.

The refreshing fragrance was so invigorating that it soon made him feel sleepy.

Bai Xian'er also noticed that his breathing had become heavier. She quietly lay down and carefully examined Shen Yun's handsome face.

'Brother Yun seems to be getting more handsome every day...' Perhaps it's due to his constitution, but Shen Yun is gradually transcending the realm of mortals, becoming more and more refined upon closer inspection.

Bai Xian'er felt she couldn't get enough of looking at Shen Yun, so she opened her clear, crescent-shaped eyes and smiled sweetly at him...
