Chapter 85: Secret Passage of the Imperial Study

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Lu Yuan used his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique, a large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from the crimson-red deity’s body.

Although the Blood Warrior Monks’ cultivation base had been forcefully raised to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were still cultivators.

However, the quality of their souls was still not something that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could compare to, not to mention there were so many Blood Warrior Monks.

Lu Yuan had never encountered such a massive divine soul power before.

Moreover, what the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique could extract was not as simple as a divine soul.

The crimson-red deity’s enormous blood qi and vitality were also drawn out by Lu Yuan.

A moment later, an illusory Soul Pill and a Blood Qi Pill appeared in Lu Yuan’s hands.

Bai Dafei, who was behind them, did not think too much about it.

He just thought that Lu Yuan was doing some kind of aftermath work.

In fact, what Lu Yuan was doing at the moment was indeed not much different from giving the crimson-red deity the final blow.

A moment later, the originally insufferably arrogant crimson-red deity completely disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

The 30 Blood Warrior Monks turned into dried corpses, lying motionless on the ground.

Lu Yuan put away the Soul Pill and Blood Qi Pill, then returned to Bai Dafei and the unconscious Mu Qiqi.

Without the threat of the crimson-red deity, Bai Dafei was completely relieved.

He looked at Lu Yuan who was walking back and asked, “Junior Brother Lu, what should we do next?”

Lu Yuan looked at the flames outside the palace and said calmly, “The matter of Emperor Chen De is not over yet. If my guess is correct, that fellow must have some trump card that he hasn’t used yet. These 30 Blood Warrior Monks are just a method he used to delay us. As for the crimson red barrier around the Imperial capital, it was probably to delay the time for the sect to know about his trump card.”

Hearing that, Bai Dafei suddenly became nervous. “Then according to what you said, we should hurry over and catch that guy. But what about Senior Sister Mu? We can’t just leave her here alone, right?”

“The pursuit must indeed be carried out as soon as possible,” Lu Yuan nodded and said. “We can’t leave Senior Sister Mu alone either. How about this? Senior Brother Bai, you stay here and take care of Senior Sister Mu. I’ll go chase after the escaping emperor alone.”

Hearing that Lu Yuan “valiantly” volunteered to enter the tiger’s den, Bai Dafei felt that Lu Yuan was so unfamiliar today.

Was he still the Junior Brother Lu who could treat confinement as a reward and stay in the sect all day without leaving the mountain easily?

He couldn’t have been switched, right?

First, Lu Yuan took the initiative to take on the mission of killing the crimson-red deity.

After that, he was willing to take the initiative to chase after Emperor Chen De, who had some unknown trump card.

Such behavior was completely inconsistent with Lu Yuan’s usual working style!

Just as Bai Dafei was hesitating about whether he should persuade Lu Yuan not to advance so rashly, Lu Yuan spoke first. “Senior Brother Bai, before I leave, I would like to ask you to promise me something.”

“What is it? Junior Brother, please speak.”

“Senior Brother Bai, I hope that when the sect asks about today’s matter in the future, you’ll just say that this crimson-red deity died tragically from Senior Sister Mu’s golden light sword and has nothing to do with me.”

“That… Junior Brother, are you sure you want to do this?” Bai Dafei was naturally surprised.

The main reason was to the Qingyun Sect disciples, the credit for killing the crimson-red deity was extremely huge.

After all, the crimson-red deity’s strength had reached the Pseudo Core Stage.

With the contribution of defeating such an entity, Lu Yuan would not only be heavily nurtured by the sect in the future, but he could even negotiate for treasures from many sects.

For example, exchanging for a low-grade magic item.

One might wonder, just how much could a low-grade magic item improve a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator’s powers? It could be seen from how Mu Qiqi almost killed the Pseudo Core Stage crimson-red deity in one strike.

However, Lu Yuan wanted to give the huge credit to Mu Qiqi.

Bai Dafei was a little confused. He wondered, “Since you don’t want such credit, then why did you spend so much effort to kill the crimson-red deity just now… Isn’t it all for nothing?”

Lu Yuan had little intention of clarifying Bai Dafei’s doubts. “Senior Brother

Bai, I hope you can agree to my request.”

Bai Dafei naturally would not refuse Lu Yuan’s sincere request.

After all, if Lu Yuan was not around, Bai Dafei, a mere pill refiner, would not be a match for the crimson-red deity no matter how one looked at it.

Bai Dafei patted his chest and said sincerely, “Junior Brother, don’t worry. I will keep my mouth shut.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Bai. Time is of the essence, so I’ll be leaving first. Please take good care of Senior Sister Mu.”

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother. Leave this to me.”

After giving his instructions, Lu Yuan turned around and chased into the depths of the palace.

Although Chen De had left for some time, Lu Yuan was 100% confident that he could find the other party.

This was because Lu Yuan’s current clone was located under the palace.

Relying on his connection with his clone, Lu Yuan could accurately know Chen De’s current location.

Lu Yuan could even know what was happening underground through the images transmitted by his clone.

However, although Lu Yuan said that he was going to chase after Chen De, the place he really went to was the Royal Study of the palace.

As a careful person, Lu Yuan would not foolishly chase after Chen De alone.

Even though he was known to be invincible against those of the Core Formation Stage and lower, there was no guarantee that Chen De would not suddenly use a method that could threaten a Core Formation Stage cultivator.

Or perhaps, there was a Core Formation Stage demon monk of the Huanxi Sect by his side.

As stably powerful as he was, how could he really go deep into the tiger’s den?

The so-called pursuit was just an excuse. His true goal was to search for treasures.

Besides, things had developed to the point that did not need his help.

What Lu Yuan had to do now was to gain more benefits from the incident.

The thing that Lu Yuan had his eyes on was undoubtedly the national fortune that Chen De had accumulated over the years as the emperor.

Chen De controlled this part of the country’s fate using his Imperial Jade Seal.

Lu Yuan, who had the luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, could naturally roughly sense luck-filled locations.

Of course, the national fate controlled by the jade seal was only a small part of the overall national fate.

Great Xia Kingdom’s national fate was still majorly influenced by the Dragon Vein.

But even a small portion was a huge amount for Lu Yuan.

In any case, the current Chen De was basically unable to turn things around.

The luck in the jade seal had been lost, so no one would suspect Lu Yuan after this.

How could Lu Yuan let go of such an excellent opportunity to obtain luck?

Under such circumstances, Lu Yuan quickly arrived at the Royal Study of the palace.

After a simple perception, Lu Yuan quickly found the luck-filled spot.

Lu Yuan walked to the bookshelf and discovered that there was actually a narrow secret passage hidden behind it.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan used Item Manipulation to push away the bookshelf in front of him.

The narrow and long secret passage soon appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

However, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he released his puppets to scout the area.

Although Lu Yuan did not sense any danger from the secret passage, it did not mean there was no danger inside!

After the puppets returned safely and confirmed that there was really no danger inside, Lu Yuan decisively walked in..
