"It looks like I can't hide anything from the eighth majesty …" Yun Xiaoyan was very polite. She seemed extremely cautious before the eighth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng who possessed an extremely great status.
Even though she was the princess of the Thousand Lotus Empire and possessed an extraordinary status, she still struggled to maintain her composure when facing her.
.....
The Azure Peng King still did not give up on investigating Mo Cheng's murderer outside the Azure Poseidon Palace. He had always been an extremely protective person, and he was unruly. There was a wild brutality hidden in his bones. Mo Cheng, whom he had placed his hopes on, had been killed, which made him feel an urge to find the organisation behind the murderer and settle the debt.
However, a group of Divine Kings emerged from the Azure Poseidon Palace one after another. From them, the Azure Peng King finally learnt that Mo Cheng's murderer was a person called Ming Dong.
Ming Dong's connection with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was only exposed at the very end. The Divine Kings who emerged from the Azure Poseidon Palace had all left beforehand, so they had no idea that the five experts with Ming Dong were divine generals from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
As a result, the Azure Peng King knew nothing else apart from the name.
"Ming Dong, good, good, very good. I don't care who you are, I will never let you leave alive for killing my disciple. And the organisation behind you, how dare they allow you to act so recklessly in the Azure Poseidon Palace? Once I investigate your background, I will definitely pay them a visit personally," the Azure Peng King said coldly. His icy killing intent seemed to cause space to freeze.
Who knew whether he would still be bold enough to say such bold words after he learnt that Ming Dong was the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
Shui Yunlan, Olidona, Ming Dong, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye remained seated near the four Grand Prime statues on the twelfth floor of the Azure Poseidon Palace. They did their best to recover their vitality.
However, at this moment, the simple and graceful sound of a zither suddenly rang out. The pleasant sound seemed to contain endless magic. It could pierce through metal and rock, breaking through all obstructions as it played in the surroundings with great clarity.
There were several dozen Godkings who were also recovering on the twelfth floor. Many of them were protected by layers of formations, but the sound of the zither pierced through the formations effortlessly, rousing all the people in the region.
In an instant, everyone who had gathered here opened their eyes and cast their gazes in the same direction.
Shangguan Mu 'er sat there in a violet dress with her eyes closed. The thirty-six strings of the Zither of the Demonic Cry that lay across her knees actually began to beat by themselves, producing a wondrous sound.
As the sound of the zither echoed out, it seemed to be projecting the ways of the world. It possessed a profound charm of the ways and possessed the ability to steal away people's souls. In just a few seconds, everyone, including Shui Yunlan, became intoxicated. They seemed to have been completely sucked away by the sound of the zither unknowingly, sinking into it.
It was also at this moment that a simple inscription flickered on Ming Dong's forehead. Ming Dong immediately returned to his senses after his soul had been sucked away by the sound of the zither.
"Sister-in-law!" Ming Dong called out as he looked at Shangguan Mu 'er in surprise.
"Don't worry!" Shangguan Mu 'er slowly opened her eyes and said calmly. Afterwards, she gently pressed her slender fingers against the strings.
Immediately, the pulsating strings stopped, and the soul-stirring sound came to an abrupt end.
"This is the Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine inscribed on the Zither of the Demonic Cry. I just want to see the power of the Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine. It won't harm anyone here," Shangguan Mu 'er said. Undisguised joy filled her enchanting eyes.
She had finally awakened the slumbering Artifact Spirit within the Zither of the Demonic Cry. She had already gained the initial recognition of the Zither of the Demonic Cry back in the lower world, so she had controlled it for many years already. Now that the Artifact Spirit had awakened, it naturally did not reject her at all. It treated her as the only successor of the Third Ancestor, so it successfully accepted her as its master.
"Is this the legendary Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine? It really is terrifying. My soul has actually been controlled unknowingly, "Shui Yunlan returned to her senses. Her emotionless eyes were filled with sternness.
Olidona also stared at the Zither of the Demonic Cry in surprise. She said softly, "In the records of my God clan, when the Third Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound personally performs the Divine Tunes, she can manifest the mysteries of the world and assist people in comprehending the ways of the world. Comprehending realms will be thousands of times easier than usual, and it has the ability to heal injuries to the soul. It's extremely wondrous. Once the Demonic Tunes are used, they can throw laws into chaos, overturn yin and yang, and control the souls of Grand Primes. The Two Tunes of the Demonic and Divine were the most terrifying techniques of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound in the past. I never thought you'd be able to control it now. "
Rui Di and Zhi Ye also looked at Shangguan Mu 'er in surprise. Due to the heritage of the Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes, they did not know the legends of the Third Ancestor in as much detail as Shui Yunlan and Olidona. However, they were extremely shocked when they were momentarily lost.
"Mu 'er, has the Artifact Spirit of the Zither of the Demonic Cry awakened?" Jianchen also rushed over with lightning speed as he looked at Shangguan Mu' er in joy.
"Yeah. There's still soul energy in this space that hasn't dispersed yet. After the Artifact Spirit absorbed enough soul energy, it has awakened." Shangguan Mu 'er smiled faintly. She looked at the surroundings and said, "Only after the Artifact Spirit awakened did I learn that the soul energy here came from the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea who was only second to Grand Exalts. Although his soul has already been destroyed, perhaps due to the sealing of the Poseidon Palace or some other reason, a small portion of his soul energy still lingers in this space …"
Jianchen was surprised when he heard that. He immediately covered Shangguan Mu 'er's mouth. Now that the Artifact Spirit of the Poseidon Palace had awakened, no one knew what would happen if he learnt that the Zither of the Demonic Cry was absorbing the soul energy left behind by its old master.
However, Jianchen had already communicated with the sword spirits secretly. He wanted them to learn how the Artifact Spirit of the Zither of the Demonic Cry had awakened and absorb the soul energy here to recover.
"The Zither of the Demonic Cry is special, which is why it can absorb the soul energy here. However, we can't. We even struggle to sense the existence of the soul energy here," the sword spirits said helplessly.
Jianchen was filled with pity. If the sword spirits could recover some of their strength through the soul energy here, the assistance they would provide him in the future would be immeasurable.
After a moment of hesitation, Jianchen looked at everyone and said, "The Artifact Spirit has broken free, and Xiao Man has successfully become the new master of the Poseidon Palace. I think we'll be leaving here very soon."
"Jianchen, what do you plan on doing next?" Olidona asked. She did not care about the ownership of the Poseidon Palace. She had only come to carry out the War God's orders.
"Jianchen, come with me. Come to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng with me. My eighth senior sister is outside, and my first senior sister has just shown herself. As long as you come with me, no matter how many people you've offended in the Poseidon Palace, I can guarantee you that they won't be able to do anything to you, "said Ming Dong. He also acted like he did not care about the Poseidon Palace at all.
Shui Yunlan remained silent. She struggled to even protect herself right now. She did not even dare to leave through the entrance of the Poseidon Palace, so she was unable to help at all.
Rui Di and Zhi Ye said nothing as well. Although Jianchen came from their homeland, Jianchen had offended far too many people in the Poseidon Palace. Their Sect of Dragons and Phoenixes did not possess much heritage, so they were unable to provide any assistance to Jianchen.
"Ming Dong, I have my own path to walk. I'll leave with Shui Yunlan through the teleportation formation in the Poseidon Palace." Jianchen turned down Ming Dong's invitation. He had his own pride and dignity, so he did not want to live under someone else's roof. Moreover, he had the sword spirits with him, so he did not dare to go to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
