Chapter 249: Meeting the Woman Dressed as a Man Again

Luo Xinyi muttered indignantly, "What are we trying to get him to defect for? Qin Xuan is the number one wanted criminal in the Ziyang Empire right now! Not to mention that he completely erased the existence of the Butian Holy Land."

"And there's a ninety-nine percent chance that the death of the Ziyang Imperial Family's Third Prince was his doing as well!"

The news of the Third Prince's death in the Land of Fallen Emperors spread through the entire Ziyang Empire like a raging storm.

Given his status as a prince, who would dare to harm him?

It just so happened that the seven Saint Kings were surrounding and attacking Qin Xuan, and shortly after that, the Third Prince perished in the Land of Fallen Emperors.

Even now, his remains cannot be recovered?

They only speculated that it might have been Qin Xuan's doing.

But in the eyes of the Ziyang Imperial Family, besides that disaster-bringer Qin Xuan, who else would dare to commit such a heinous crime?

"Now that Qin Xuan has returned to the Ziyang Empire, he is a thorn in their side. Rumor has it that the powerful figure behind the Third Prince has already offered a huge bounty for Qin Xuan's life!"

"It is absolutely impossible for Qin Xuan to defect to the Ziyang Empire now."

"Moreover, the main point right now is that we have absolutely no other connections within this Mingyue Imperial City."

"If we can't see Qin Xuan, wanting to rescue you is no different from a pipe dream!"

Luo Xinyi was explaining the stakes to Su Youyu, but she was also speaking for the 'ears' that might be listening behind the wall.

They had no intention of turning Qin Xuan, they only wanted to meet with him.

"What you say makes sense. Actually, even if Qin Xuan is heavily blockaded, it's not as if there's no way to find him."

Previously, she was worried that there were experts from the Ziyang Empire secretly following them, so she had never revealed her trump card.

Now that they were in the capital of the Mingyue Dynasty, with her eldest sister in charge.

Even if an expert at the Quasi-Emperor Realm came, they wouldn't be leaving.

She took out a true phoenix feather that had been used many times and handed it to Luo Xinyi, saying, "This is the method my Master gave me to contact Qin Xuan. As long as I channel my Qi into it, a one-way channel will form on Qin Xuan's side, and as long as Qin Xuan is willing, he can cross realms to reach your side."

"In this dungeon, there is a barrier suppressing it, so the true phoenix feather cannot be used, but if we go outside, there are no such restrictions on the true phoenix feather!"

"I am innocent! I did not betray the Mingyue Dynasty, and I am certainly not a traitor. You must have Qin Xuan save me and clear my name!"

"Right now, the only hope I have of being rescued is Qin Xuan, who has become a King Master."

"You… hey?"

Su Youyu lowered her head, recounting her grievances with a heavy heart. The moment she looked up, she realized Luo Xinyi and Mu Qingxue had already walked away.

She waved her hand hurriedly, "Don't go! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"You can't abandon me!"

"After squeezing the last bit of value out of me, you're just going to abandon me? Even if you don't care about our fellowship, have you two forgotten the friendship we've shared, being inseparable all this time?"

"Even if you aren't willing to exhaust your efforts to rescue me, you can't just leave me uncared for in this dark, sunless dungeon."

Luo Xinyi snorted coldly without looking back, "If you keep howling, we won't bring you any food tomorrow."

Su Youyu gulped down her saliva and shut her mouth. Before the backs of Luo Xinyi and the other woman were about to disappear, she hurriedly added, "I want to eat this kind of leg meat again tomorrow!"

Walking out of the dungeon, the view suddenly opened up. After nodding to the Ming Emperor Blood Guards at the entrance and walking a bit further away, Mu Qingxue said with some guilt, "We know full well that even if Qin Xuan intervenes, he won't be able to rescue Su Youyu, yet we still tricked her out of the true phoenix feather. Isn't that going a bit too far?"

Luo Xinyi said dismissively, "What's wrong with that? The true phoenix feather is useless in Su Youyu's hands. Giving it to us just happens to solve our urgent need."

"Besides, why are you worried about her? She's one of the Seven Pearls of Mingyue! This is clearly just a slap on the wrist. If Empress Mingyue really wanted to punish her, she wouldn't even be getting food, let alone having us bribe guards to bring her meals."

"The fact that we could even find her Soul fragments is already Empress Mingyue showing mercy."

"When Empress Mingyue feels she has been punished enough, she will naturally let her out."

The Seven Pearls of Mingyue are her own people; why should they, two outsiders, get involved?

"This true phoenix feather!"

Luo Xinyi weighed the true phoenix feather in her hand, examined it for a moment, and then tucked it into her bosom like a treasure, hiding it from view. She then glanced at Mu Qingxue and said, "I will wait until I ensure the surroundings are safe before I try to contact Qin Xuan!"

Her calves trembled slightly, as if recalling some scenes that were both shy and exceptionally exciting, yet hard to resist.

She admitted from the bottom of her heart that she was indeed more lewd than Mu Qingxue!

On the other side, in the dark, sunless cavern, Qin Xuan threw a punch, and the strength of five thousand Dragon-Elephants roared out.

An expert at the Saint King Realm from Wangqing Palace barely managed to turn around before being obliterated by the force of Qin Xuan's punch, leaving not even flesh and blood, followed by bones and Soul.

Under the raging force of this punch, they turned into ashes and dissipated into smoke.

Ning Waner, who was maintaining the barrier, said angrily, "Slow down! Being so brutal, what if you alert the big fish of Wangqing Palace and they sacrifice their pawns to save the knights again? The information we worked so hard to get will be for nothing, like fetching water with a bamboo basket!"

She was dissatisfied; this Wangqing Palace was the most cunning.

The former Emperor had dispatched elites to exterminate them countless times, but every time they managed to escape.

This time, having finally found their headquarters, if they let the mastermind go again, who knows how long it would take to capture them.

Moreover, this Wangqing Palace had close ties with the Dowager Concubine.

If this powerful force is not removed, who knows when it will cause trouble again!

"You have the Shadow-Severing Stone to conceal your aura, and I have the small tower for protection. As long as you shield the fluctuations of my Qi when I strike, no one will be able to discover anything!"

After saying this, Qin Xuan flashed and appeared a thousand feet away, his hand gripping an old woman wearing a pure white robe.

After entering and exiting the ancient prison-suppressing tower, reducing the dead old woman to ashes, and having already obtained the information he wanted through Soul-searching, Qin Xuan turned back and urged Ning Waner, "Go this way, the batch of women just captured are all in the cages!"

Ning Waner let out a breath of clear Qi and muttered to herself, "Freak!"

She had come with Qin Xuan this time intending to rely on the power of the quasi-emperor artifact in his hands.

Who would have thought that this freak Qin Xuan, despite being only at the Quasi-Saint Realm, could slaughter those at the Saint Realm and even the Saint King Realm at will without using the quasi-emperor artifact?

If not for the consideration that the mastermind of Wangqing Palace might be at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

She estimated that Qin Xuan alone could have wiped this place out!

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Xuan and Ning Waner arrived at an open area where hundreds of Wangqing Palace members in white robes were moving about.

As soon as Qin Xuan and Ning Waner stepped into this area, those white-robed women, acting like walking corpses, all turned their crimson eyes towards the two and surrounded them.

Just as Ning Waner was about to strike, Qin Xuan stopped her.

Like a ghost in the dark night, he weaved through these white-robed women, continuously using his Saint Qi to Seal their movements.

In less than ten breaths, over a hundred white-robed women all stood frozen in place, unable to move, as if their acupoints had been sealed.

However, their blood-red eyes, like those of an ancient Vicious Beast, glared and gnashed their teeth, wishing they could tear Qin Xuan and Ning Waner into pieces.

"It's useless!"

"These women have all been bewitched by Wangqing Palace and have cultivated the Taishang Forget Love Sutra, forgetting everything from their past. That you were able to wake up Qing Ning was already the first time in history."

"Could it be that you have a grand, earth-shattering love with each of these women?!"

Qin Xuan shrugged, unbothered.

Others couldn't escape the bewitchment of the Taishang Forget Love Sutra, but who said he couldn't?

The women before him were all good seeds from Hidden Kill who had been abducted here.

They were his future eyes and ears, and a great gift to Scarlet Thorn; naturally, they had to be brought back alive.

With a wave of his hand, he swept all these women into the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Within his World Domain, Qin Xuan could clearly feel how absurd the rumors about the Taishang Forget Love Sutra were.

These women had only been abducted recently, and the condition within their bodies had not yet become as severe as Qing Ning's, where it had merged into the Qi flowing through her limbs and bones.

At the heart of every one of these women, a Gu insect, resembling a face-hugger, was wrapped around their heart.

There was no such thing as cultivating the Taishang Forget Love Sutra to sever emotions and righteousness; it was all this Gu insect causing the mischief!

"It's fortunate that these Hidden Kill members haven't been captured for long, and the Gu insects in their bodies haven't fully hatched. Otherwise, once the power of the Gu insects merges into the limbs and bones, unless one is a Daughter of Luck who can rely on heaven-sent Luck to forcibly break free from the Gu insect's control, there is no chance of survival!"

Qin Xuan used his World Domain to extract the Gu insects from the bodies of these Hidden Kill members one by one.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and left the ancient prison-suppressing tower with a woman who had an ordinary appearance but an exceptionally graceful figure.

Ning Waner looked at the only person remaining beside Qin Xuan and asked suspiciously, "What is strange about her?"

Qin Xuan smiled, looking at the masked woman in front of him, and said playfully, "You should be asking her. Everyone else had Gu insects planted by Wangqing Palace in their bodies."

"Only you were unaffected, and there is no aura of Gu insects in your limbs and bones. I am quite curious, how did you manage to infiltrate Wangqing Palace?"

The woman with the dull gaze gradually regained the luster in her eyes. She glanced at Qin Xuan and said coldly, "You have your own methods to extract the Gu insects of Wangqing Palace, and I naturally have my own secret techniques to refine these Gu insects."

"Moreover, you are already overwhelmed yourself, so don't waste your thoughts on me."

"I came for the Hidden Kill members. As long as you hand over those freed Hidden Kill members to me, I can take you all and leave this place safely."

Luo Xianxian never expected that since their parting at Miaoyin Pavilion.

In the headquarters of Wangqing Palace, she would actually run into that lecher Qin Xuan again!

She had come for the scroll of the Celestial God Clan's treasure, 'Moon Rising Over the Sea', wanting to use the lives of the Hidden Kill members to trade for the scroll from Scarlet Thorn.

Who would have thought that Qin Xuan would appear out of nowhere like a monkey wrench in the works?

Hearing what Luo Xianxian said, Ning Waner frowned tightly. As she carefully investigated, she discovered the clues in this place and exclaimed in surprise, "We've fallen into a trap; we're trapped in a barrier!"
