Chapter 38 – The palace is mysterious

There were several questions that Wu Wang couldn't figure out after thinking about them all night.

What was the assassin thinking?

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

The timing of appearing outside his door was so perfect.

Although the opponent's "Ascending to Immortality" realm was far less valuable than Ling Xiaolan's "Leaping Spirit" realm as a disciple of a major sect, based on the opponent's demonstrated abilities, if he were to encounter him one-on-one, he would definitely... have to use a lot of Star Thunder Art crystal balls.

Unfortunately, the opponent completely burned his soul in the end, and there was no way to obtain more information. He could only reluctantly conclude that the opponent was the one who framed Ji Mo.

How many of these cultivators are hiding in the Kingdom of Women?

The barrier that no one is supposed to be able to enter or exit freely can't resist the temptation of the Human Realm experts...

"I'll tell the country lord that I'm leaving at dawn and pretend to leave in the light, but actually go in the dark."

Wu Wang secretly made up his mind.

After his previous attic was demolished, the national teacher arranged a place for him to stay and calmly left with his people, without mentioning what had happened before. Unfortunately, he didn't know what the national teacher and the country lord had done in the closet. It must have been very interesting.

When dawn broke, Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan both found Wu Wang one after another, and their faces were a bit stern.

"Brother Xiong, I recognized him, that guy who plotted against me!"

Ji Mo slammed the table, which remained unscathed, and cursed, "This guy burned his soul too quickly and didn't leave any clues about his identity, but he has been recognized by the sixteen women who were victimized. It's him."

Ling Xiaolan said on the side, "I have reported this to the Human Realm, as you said, without mentioning that you were here. However, your actions in the Kingdom of Women may not be hidden from the Four Seas Pavilion."

Wu Wang smiled, "If I can't hide it, I can't hide it."

Ji Mo smiled, sat in front of Wu Wang, and moved his chair closer to him, looking at him intently.

"Brother Xiong, do you want to join the Four Seas Pavilion?"

Wu Wang asked in return, "And then be assigned tasks that exceed my ability limit, under the pretext of a trial?"

"That's not quite the same."

Ji Mo looked at Ling Xiaolan, drew several talismans with his hand, and used his mana to wrap the room, mysteriously saying, "Brother Xiong, let me tell you a secret. There aren't many people in the Four Seas Pavilion who can participate in these high-difficulty trials like me and Fairy Ling."

Ling Xiaolan snorted and said, "Don't elevate yourself too high. There are some of us who accept these trials."

Wu Wang asked, "What's the casualty rate?"

"This," Ji Mo sighed, "can only be said to be one in ten."

Ling Xiaolan's face was a bit dim, hugging her arms and standing aside, whispering, "The trip to the North Wilderness was my mistake. There were hints before we left that Granny Yin had a problem, but I didn't suspect her."

"Don't blame yourself, Fairy Ling," Ji Mo said sincerely, "this is fate!""Hmph," Ling Xiaolan glanced aside, unwilling to talk further.

Wu Wang calmly changed the topic and said, "Brother Ji, why don't you introduce me to the Four Seas Pavilion?"

Ji Mo cleared his throat and leaned closer to Wu Wang, revealing many well-known pieces of information about the Four Seas Pavilion.

The Four Seas Pavilion actually only exists outside of the Human Realm. Few cultivators in the Human Realm can truly interact with the Four Seas Pavilion, but it holds a pivotal position in the Human Realm.

The Four Seas Pavilion was founded by the current Yan Emperor, initially exchanging minerals, spirit herbs, beast cores, and other rare items in the Nine Wildernesses with pills and magical treasures.

Nowadays, the influence of the Four Seas Pavilion has spread throughout the entire Great Wasteland. Apart from the Central Mountain region, it has established close ties with various human tribes through buying and selling.

In the Human Realm, every immortal sect and demonic sect must send a certain number of disciples to the border every fifty or hundred years.

However, only a small portion of highly talented individuals within the immortal sects can be selected to work for the Four Seas Pavilion.

Wu Wang asked several more questions, such as how various sects trade with the Four Seas Pavilion and how much power it holds.

Ji Mo was unusually forthcoming and revealed all he knew, even hinting at certain things he couldn't say.

"If Brother Xiong is willing to join the Four Seas Pavilion, I would like to invite our family elders to recommend him," Ji Mo said.

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Brother Ji, you haven't told me what's different about joining the Four Seas Pavilion compared to being with you guys."

Ji Mo carefully considered his words and said in a low voice, "These trials cannot be taken lightly. Although they are dangerous, they hold great significance for the Human Realm..."

Wu Wang interrupted, "You guys might not be able to participate in the next round if you go back."

Ji Mo pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiong, have you heard of the Yan Emperor's decree in the North Wilderness?"

"There hasn't been such a rumor in the North Wilderness," Wu Wang said truthfully, "but I know about the Yan Emperor's decree."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Xiong," Ji Mo smiled and adjusted his collar, "The ultimate goal of these trials we're participating in is to gain recognition from the Four Seas Pavilion. With their recommendation, we can obtain the Yan Emperor's decree."

Ling Xiaolan cursed, "You're always saying I have no filter, but you're the same."

"These are all well-known things in the Human Realm," Ji Mo defended himself, "With Brother Xiong's talent and background, he will also be cultivated in this way."

Wu Wang picked up the cold tea beside him and took a sip, his eyes shining with a glimmer of light.

"I only have one doubt. After joining the Four Seas Pavilion, is it a personal decision to participate in these trials, or does the Four Seas Pavilion directly issue tasks?" he asked.

Ji Mo suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"Most cultivators who die in the first round of trials don't know anything," Ling Xiaolan said."I won't go," Wu Wang said seriously, "I am the young master of the North Wilderness, and in the future, I will most likely have to shoulder the important responsibilities of the Bear Hug Clan. No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for me to join the Four Seas Pavilion."

Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan glanced at each other.

Ling Xiaolan said, "See, I know Brother Xiong better."

"Ah," Ji Mo sighed, "I owe Brother Xiong too many favors. I really don't know how to repay him. I wanted to bring Brother Xiong to the Human Realm and let him enjoy a few years of freedom with me... Forget it, it's up to Brother Xiong to decide."

"If you two have time, why don't you tell me about the major forces in the Human Realm? In the future, I may also go to the Human Realm to find the true scripture that can save the North Wilderness. But don't offend any senior experts."

Wu Wang spoke gently and made a gesture of invitation to Ling Xiaolan, who took out a cushion and placed it on the seat, and sat down beside him.

Ji Mo also came to chat and talked to Wu Wang about the current situation in the Human Realm.

There were many rumors, gossip about sects, fairy stories, and the separation of Dao companions, which were all quite interesting when they came out of Ji Mo's mouth.

Ling Xiaolan tried to interrupt, but the initiative was always taken back by Ji Mo.

In terms of eloquence, Ji Mo was definitely better than Ling Xiaolan.

As they listened, Wu Wang suddenly had a feeling that he was like a volunteer in an orphanage in his previous life, surrounded by several children who were eager to talk to him...

Unconsciously, the eastern sky began to turn pale, and the national teacher sent someone to inform them of the time to enter the palace. Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan went back to their rooms to freshen up.

The decree of the Yan Emperor.

Wu Wang looked inwardly at his spiritual platform and looked at the fireball floating outside his soul like smoke, his thoughts somewhat confused.

If Senior Shen Nong valued him, this decree of the Yan Emperor was not unique, and he was just one of the fish fry.

But if Senior Shen Nong did not value him, the Yan Emperor's decree that the Human Realm geniuses had to suffer to obtain, Senior Shen Nong not only gave it to him, but also helped him repair the first three levels, letting the decree hide in his body.

"Do not use this decree until the moment of life and death."

Wu Wang glanced at the ring on his hand and thought for a moment before changing the storage treasure he wore outside.

He couldn't forget that there might be a True Immortal following Ji Xiong.

Rubbing his forehead, Wu Wang was starting to feel a headache.

His ideal was so simple and beautiful, just wanting to live longer, but he didn't expect to bear the pressure that he shouldn't bear at his age...

"Sir Divine Envoy, the national teacher invites you to dine."

And coveting.

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Wu Wang thought for a moment and put his little knife in his arms, not daring to be careless about this matter.

...

Two hours later.

Bathed in the bright sunshine, Wu Wang sat on the carriage covered in flower petals, accepting the praise and blessings of the sisters, aunts, grandmothers around him.

And when Wu Wang's carriage passed by, Ling Xiaolan on the carriage behind also received many praises and admirations from women.As the carriage passed by...

A group of women on both sides raised their hands and sleeves in unison, quickly dispersing.

Ji Mo smiled calmly.

Compared to the treatment he had received before, this was much better.

Ji Mo also realized that sometimes people cannot be compared. At the age where he could be a junior to Uncle Xiong, he did not have even half the confidence to win a direct conflict against him, which itself indicated a problem.

At this moment, Wu Wang appeared serious but was actually pondering the words of the national teacher from earlier.

"Your Excellency, it was all a misunderstanding before. Last night, I gained some insights from prayer and wanted to exchange ideas with you.

Isn't it reasonable to hold a drink while discussing?

The weather was too hot last night, and I forgot for a moment that Your Excellency is a man, so I dressed up and went over. I apologize for any disrespect.

Oh, can you explain to His Majesty for me today? If I knew that His Majesty was with you, I would never have gone!"

The national teacher seemed to be wary of the queen.

From the previous behavior of the national teacher, the probability of being the source of the rebellion was not high.

Wu Wang's spiritual sense scanned the entire Kingdom of Women.

This was a peaceful and prosperous country, with internal and external harmony. Where did it look like a rebellion was about to break out?

But one cannot be too sure.

Wu Wang looked ahead, and the continuous palace stood in the center of the city, with the sunlight shining on the golden roof of the palace, emitting a sacred and expensive aura.

The palace was surrounded by an invisible formation that isolated the Spirit Stone and divine sense detection. This was not abnormal, and Wu Wang had not paid much attention to the palace before.

However, as they got closer to the palace, Wu Wang began to feel a little uneasy...

"Brother Xiong."

A voice transmission entered his ears, and it was Ling Xiaolan reminding him, "There is something strange about the palace, and I am a little uneasy."

Wu Wang turned his head slightly and nodded to the carriage behind him, just in time to see Ji Mo's dumbfounded expression...

Oh my.

Compared to him, Fairy Ling was much more reliable!

Upon arriving at the palace, Wu Wang and Ling Xiaolan were on high alert and constantly investigated the formation structure around the palace.

Wu Wang was at a loss when it came to formations, and Ling Xiaolan reminded him that if they encountered any trouble later, he should follow her and retreat because she had found the flaw in the palace's formation.

The carriage stopped, and the palace gates opened.

Four rows of beautifully dressed women walked out and danced around the carriage.

Wu Wang thickened the ice crystal film around him, indicating to those around him not to approach him too closely, so as not to lose their manners. He then jumped off the carriage.

Suddenly!

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Wu Wang's spiritual platform trembled lightly, his chest necklace slightly heated up, and his body stiffened for a moment.

What the hell?"Why do I suddenly have a sense of déjà vu when I was stared at by that blessed giant beast back then!

It felt like there was a pair of fierce beast's eyes deep in the earth, staring at him at this moment; and the palace gate in front seemed to have become the huge mouth of a fierce beast, ready to devour people!

"Divine envoy... Divine envoy?"

The voice of the national teacher came from beside him, and Wu Wang took a breath, quickly dispelling the horror.

"Divine envoy, are you okay?"

The national teacher asked with concern.

Wu Wang smiled and shook his head, looking at the situation of Ling Xiaolan and Ji Mo on both sides. He found that Ling Xiaolan's gaze was quite sharp, while Ji Mo...

It can only be said that his attention to music and dance is definitely higher than his own safety.

"Did the divine envoy sense something?"

The national teacher smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't think too much. Our Kingdom of Women also has our own reliance and protection, otherwise how could we exist in the West Wilderness for so many years."

Wu Wang suddenly understood that the danger he sensed should be something like the Kingdom of Women's national beast.

For a while, that sense of unease dissipated by more than half.

Wu Wang looked forward and could see that inside the palace gate, the ministers of the Kingdom of Women were standing on both sides; many mighty female guards stood in the space from the palace gate to the hall at the same interval.

Feng Ge did not bring her spear, but stood in the hall with a long sword at her waist, waiting for them to come over.

And inside the hall, the queen of the Kingdom of Women was dressed up and sat quietly on the high throne.

After the song and dance performance, it was still a song and dance performance. Wu Wang and the others could be said to be "difficult to move a step."

Finally, after an hour of tossing back and forth, the three of them finally stood in front of the Kingdom of Women's national lord and saluted with their respective etiquette.

"Divine envoy~"

The queen of the Kingdom of Women called out softly, with undisguised joy.

The national teacher coughed beside her and whispered, "Your Majesty, read the words and give gifts first, and we will talk later while eating."

"Ahem," the national lord of the Kingdom of Women cleared her throat and immediately regained her dignified and divine demeanor, apparently showing her energy.

Fast forward to the end of the private banquet hosted by the queen, Feng Ge, the national teacher, and the three of them.

"Come, I'll take you to a good place!"

A jade-like hand reached out in front of Wu Wang.

Wu Wang looked up and saw the shining jade arm, the gorgeous clothes, and the enchanting smile.

"Your Majesty," Wu Wang calmly shook his head and said with a smile, "Holding hands is a more intimate action between men and women."

The national lord blinked lightly, her hands behind her back, whispering softly:

"Then, come with me, let's go to the bedroom and have some fun."

The national teacher, who was holding a glass of glass, turned his head and sprayed out a mouthful of wine, hitting Ji Mo's chest directly.

"Your Majesty! You can't do that, you can't do that, Your Majesty! I'll follow you!"Ji Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to wipe his face with a handkerchief when another fist flew by from the side, hitting his shoulder with the speed of lightning, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

"Damn it!"

Feng Ge gritted her teeth and cursed, "I really want to go to His Majesty's sleeping palace!"

However, Ling Xiaolan stood up and calmly followed Wu Wang in the direction he had left, leaving a sentence behind:

"I'll go check on Brother Xiong to make sure he doesn't suffer any losses."

"What?"

Ji Mo and Feng Ge tilted their heads simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and quickly looked away. Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the entire hall.

For some reason, Ji Mo's gaze became a bit deeper, and his lips moved slightly.

"When do you plan to make your move since we didn't finish talking last night?"

"Wait a little longer."

Feng Ge murmured softly, looking at the sumptuous feast in front of her, and pursed her lips slightly.
