"Feng Chu, give him a cup of spirit spring water," Ju Yin said impatiently. This fellow had no sense of restraint and almost disintegrated the person.
"Here, you've hit the jackpot." Feng Chu conjured a bamboo cup out of thin air, filled with spirit spring water, and handed it to Ling Bo.
Ling Bo took the bamboo cup. Before he even brought it to his lips, a surge of pure immortal energy assailed him. He immediately felt his body become smooth and clear. He tried his best to control his eagerness, but his weakened body made him drink it in one gulp. He instantly felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing down his throat, entering his internal organs and meridians. What kind of immortal spiritual liquid was this? It possessed such potent efficacy and even contained healing power.
Ling Bo couldn't bother with niceties and immediately sat down to regulate his breathing. He didn't know that after the Dragon God modified this spirit spring, a surge of immortal spiritual liquid emerged from its center, and the spiritual energy within was directly upgraded to immortal spiritual energy. Feng Chu, for some unknown reason, was being exceptionally generous this time. However, now that Ju Yin had ascended, her spatial realm had also upgraded, and all the spirit springs had transformed into immortal energy, so this single cup was not a big deal.
Ju Yin kindly set up a barrier for him, making it inconvenient to leave immediately.
A slight vibration rippled through the air, and the feather ornament on Ju Yin's head shifted. Ju Yin understood. The feather spirit was warning her; someone was approaching.
"Master, someone's coming!" Xi Mo suddenly said at this moment.
"I know, and they don't come in peace," Ju Yin nodded in acknowledgment.
As soon as the words left her mouth, a crimson rainbow appeared in the sky, flashing from afar and suddenly appearing before Ju Yin and the others. It turned out to be five elegantly dressed fairy maidens.
One of them, a blue-clad female immortal, suddenly threw herself mournfully towards a nearby corpse, her voice wailing and ferocious, "Husband, husband, what happened to you!" She felt for a pulse and discovered he had been dead for a long time. Enraged, she cried out, "Who? Who killed you? I will tear the murderer into ten thousand pieces!"
The blue-clad female immortal suddenly looked at Ju Yin and the others, her face filled with ferocity, "It was you! How dare you! Give me your lives!" Without further ado, she charged towards Ju Yin and the others.
"Lan Qing, stop!" The purple-clad woman, who seemed to be the leader among the five fairy maidens, rebuked her. She looked at Ju Yin with caution. She was a Celestial Lord but could not discern the opponent's cultivation. She knew that a Celestial Lord would be ascending from the lower realm recently. The Celestial Tablet recorded the name Ye Ju Celestial Lord. Now appearing at this reception pool, she suspected this person might be the one. That person had mentioned that Ye Ju Celestial Lord was an old acquaintance, and offending her would be offending him...
Thinking of this, she was consumed by jealousy. She recalled how countless female Celestial Lords desired that person's favor and were willing to serve by his side, even as maids!
As a fellow female immortal, Ju Yin's appearance was exceptionally striking, even surpassing her own. This displeased her! Now that her subordinate had been killed by her, it truly felt like they were destined to clash!
"May I ask, are you Ye Ju Celestial Lord?"
"Indeed, I am! But I do not know you!" Ju Yin carefully examined the purple-clad female immortal opposite her, confirming she was not an acquaintance.
"Presumptuous! This is Purple Hua Celestial Monarch!" a green-clad female immortal, accompanying the purple-clad woman, reprimanded her.
*Slap!* The green-clad woman was slapped by Feng Chu!
"How dare you speak to our Venerable One like that!" Feng Chu instantly flashed back after striking, finding a handkerchief from somewhere and meticulously wiping his hands as if they were soiled, wiping them with great diligence! https:/
"You... you..." The green-clad woman, inexplicably struck, was about to erupt in anger. Seeing a handsome and extraordinarily elegant man, her eyes widened. She stammered incoherently. However, when she saw him wiping the hand that had struck her with a handkerchief, her face turned black. Glanced at by Purple Hua Celestial Monarch, she retreated behind her, feeling aggrieved.
"Purple Hua Celestial Monarch, please seek justice for Lan Xin! Even a Celestial Lord cannot disregard life without reason. My husband died so miserably!" Lan Xin collected the corpse of her husband, Zhu Xiao, and crawled on her knees towards Purple Hua Celestial Monarch, weeping.
"Was the Immortal Envoy Chief your husband?" Zhao Yangzi spoke up.
"Naturally!" Lan Xin interrupted her crying, looking at Zhao Yangzi impatiently. Upon seeing Zhao Yangzi's appearance, her heart skipped a beat, and her grief seemed to lessen. With such extraordinary demeanor, she wondered if this was some Celestial Lord condescending to descend to the mortal realm for tribulation.
"Then that's perfect. This person, along with six other immortal envoys, extorted and blackmailed my four companions. I was just about to seek an explanation from the Lord of the Immortal Mansion."
"Nonsense! My husband was responsible for receiving the newly ascended minor immortals at the reception pool today. How could he have the leisure to extort you!" Lan Xin argued loudly.
"Heh! What a coincidence, the four of us, this young master included, are the minor immortals who just ascended!" Feng Chu said in a deliberately provoking manner.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xin's contempt grew, and the fleeting romantic thoughts she had earlier vanished. She became even more convinced that they were the ones who killed her husband.
"So, you admit you killed my husband?" Lan Xin glared at them malevolently. She was determined to make these lowly minor immortals from the lower realm suffer. It would be a waste to kill such handsome men; she might keep one or two to subdue and house in her private villa.
"Yes, after all, if your husband was going to kill us, should this young master just wash his neck clean and wait for him to stab it? Are you stupid? Do you think this young master is as stupid as you?" Feng Chu scoffed.
"Who is this?" Purple Hua Celestial Monarch had noticed Ju Yin upon arrival but hadn't closely examined the others beside her. Now, seeing four men of exceptional bearing, she was slightly surprised. Their appearances were comparable to that person. Where did this Ye Ju Celestial Lord come from, to have so many handsome men gathered around her?
"They are all my subordinates. Purple Hua Celestial Monarch, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Very well. Since Ye Ju Celestial Lord says so, then let us discuss why my Heavenly Que Immortal Mansion's immortal envoy was killed. Even if there was fault, it was not for you to dispense justice!" Purple Hua Celestial Monarch, having lost face, stated with a stern tone.
"Can't you understand human speech? They first extorted this young master and his companions. Those who provoke first deserve to die!"
"Presumptuous! A mere Profound Immortal, spewing wild talk! Do you have evidence that they extorted you!" Purple Hua couldn't help but roar. She had roamed the Heavenly Que Immortal Mansion for tens of thousands of years, and no one had dared to speak to her like this! She hadn't expected that this southern reception pool could also produce Profound Immortals, which spoke volumes of these four's talent. But how dare they disrespect her? What good was genius if she dared to strangle them in this tiny reception pool! They had dared to reprimand her subordinate in front of her just now, showing utter disregard for her.
"This minor immortal has, suddenly, Ling Bo emerged from the hidden barrier."
"Who are you? Purple Hua Celestial Monarch is here, do not be presumptuous!" Lan Xin angrily exclaimed. They hadn't detected that there was another person here.
"This minor immortal is Ling Bo of the Mist Spirit tribe. I was previously captured into the Purple Gold Gourd by the immortal envoy named Zhu Xiao. By sheer luck, I survived and was rescued by Ye Ju Celestial Lord. This is the recording I made." Ling Bo cast a spell and unfurled a water mirror, within which was the scene of Zhu Xiao and others humiliating and extorting Feng Chu and the others. Besides this, it also showed how he himself was captured earlier.
Purple Hua Celestial Monarch looked at the images in the mirror, her face flushing red. She retaliated with a palm strike at Lan Xin, "How dare you! To dare to do such things behind my back!"
See you tomorrow.
