Chapter 385: Chapter 165: Consort Yu’s New Pose! Empress: My little thief is dead?!_2
"N-no way!"
"Don’t talk nonsense, Mr. Chen is a lucky man who will be protected by the heavens, nothing will happen to him..."
Qiu Longgang hurriedly took out the Communication Jade Token and injected the remaining True Yuan into it.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, his heart went cold.
Chen Mo fought alone against the erosion of the array, consuming a great deal of energy, almost to the point of exhaustion. Could he have really been swallowed by that Blood Tide?
Thinking of this, Qiu Longgang’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dezi, go to the nearest Sky Scale Guard branch and send the message back to the Capital City! The rest of you, come with me into the mountains to search, we must find any trace of Mr. Chen!"
"Yes!"
The assistant officers responded in unison.
After taking Alchemy Pills to recover True Yuan, they hurried into the depths of the mountains without even sitting down to meditate and regulate their breath.
"Let’s go, we should help too," Yu Hongyin said.
Qiao Tong nodded, "Alright,"
At this moment, a gust of wind howled.
Several figures arrived in the air, landing in front of the two.
At the forefront was an elegant old man dressed in a black robe and a white coat, with bright eyes and youthful features despite white hair, exuding a bit of an ethereal aura.
It was the Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect, Shi Wenzhong.
"Disciples greet the Sect Leader!"
Qiao Tong bowed in greeting.
Yu Hongyin frowned, displeased, "Master, why are you only arriving now? You almost missed seeing your disciple, you know?"
Shi Wenzhong smiled dotingly and said helplessly, "As soon as I received the news, I brought people over. Didn’t I tell you to wait for news in Tiandu City and not to risk your life..."
"We’ll discuss this later, Master, you should help me find someone first."
Yu Hongyin briefly recounted the events that just transpired.
Upon hearing this, Shi Wenzhong’s expression became serious, and he muttered solemnly:
"Abandoning the corporeal body and merging the Divine Soul with the Erosion Light Hourglass, using the Essence Blood of tens of thousands to activate the grand array... Fu Li has gone insane to this degree?!"
"No wonder the Sky Miasma Abyss has turned into a blood marsh for hundreds of miles..."
Hearing this, Yu Hongyin asked in confusion, "Master, you have been to the Sky Miasma Abyss?"
Shi Wenzhong nodded and said, "After arriving at the Ten-Thousand Great Mountains, I sensed the Blood Qi soaring into the sky, so I went to investigate."
Yu Hongyin urgently asked, "Did you see any trace of Mr. Chen?"
Shi Wenzhong shook his head and said, "The Blood Evil Qi is too strong, even those in the Grandmaster Realm wouldn’t dare to withstand it directly. All the creatures in a hundred mile radius have perished, and I didn’t sense the breath of a single living person."
Yu Hongyin stood there stunned, murmuring, "Impossible, he’s so strong, how could he..."
Qiao Tong bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Holy Daughter, could Mr. Chen really be in trouble? It’s our fault that he..."
Yu Hongyin snapped back to her senses, clenching her fists and said through gritted teeth, "This is my fault to begin with, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find him!"
With that said, she turned and headed into the mountains.
Qiao Tong quickly followed her.
Watching their backs, Shi Wenzhong sighed deeply.
He originally wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the Erosion Light Hourglass, but seeing their state, he swallowed his words.
"I heard from Hongyin earlier about an altercation she had with this Chen Mo."
"Who would have thought he would disregard past grievances and save Hongyin’s life, a staunch and upright man. Naturally, he is also a benefactor of my Netherworld Sect."
"Everyone, come!"
"Disciple present!"
"Light the Soul Summoning Lamp and activate the Summoning Spirit Array, covering a radius of a thousand miles, leaving no stone unturned!"
"Yes!"
The protectors of the Netherworld Sect flew away.
Shi Wenzhong clasped his hands behind his back, gazing at the blood-red sunset on the horizon, and sighed, "I just fear that he has been consumed by the Evil Qi, body and soul destroyed without a trace..."
...
...
Tiandu City, Imperial Palace.
Night deepened, and the Xuanqing Pool was brightly lit.
Steam rose gently in the air, and two figures soaked in the pool water, their snow-white skin radiating a soft luster under the candlelight.
The Empress cupped clear water in her hands, letting it cascade over her body, droplets rolling off her as they crashed onto the water’s surface, creating ripples, "Zhu’er, how do you have time to come to the palace to accompany me today?"
Lin Jingzhu smiled and said, "We haven’t seen each other for a few days, I missed you~"
She leaned back, her hands passing under the Empress’s arms, and gave a playful squeeze, "Tsk tsk, Auntie, why does it feel like you’re getting more excessive? This must be five or six pounds by now, right?"
"Go away, you silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"At my age, how can there still be any changes?"
The Empress raised her hand and playfully swatted her, her oval face flushing with a blush.
Lin Jingzhu shook her head and said, "Auntie is just like a young girl, her skin is unbelievably good, and it’s so firm despite being heavy... it’s simply unreasonable."
"Really?"
The Empress seemed indifferent but secretly rejoiced.
Even the little thief said her figure was especially good!
Before, she thought it was too cumbersome, making clothes look unflattering, but now it seems it’s not entirely a disadvantage!
"By the way, you asked me last time how to make them bigger."
"I specifically asked Li Yuanshi about it, and she prescribed some internal and external treatments, which, with persistence, should have some effect..."
But before she could finish, Lin Jingzhu said, "No need, I feel like it’s pretty good the way it is now."
The Empress asked suspiciously, "Weren’t you dissatisfied before?"
"That was when I thought Chen... ahem, anyway, I’ve changed my mind, actually being small is quite cute too." Lin Jingzhu almost let slip, her face a bit flushed, thankfully she was behind the Empress and the anomaly was not noticed.
?
The Empress felt something amiss, about to inquire further, she suddenly shivered.
"Hiss, you silly girl, where are you touching!"
"Auntie, you’re not a Martial Artist, haven’t soaked in a Medicine bath, so why are you still so slick?"
