Wutian was enlightened. "So Su Ying is also the disciple of the Lord Of The Palace."
The Lord Of The Palace chuckled. "Ying 'er is the same as Han Tian, a Sacred Body of the Five Elements. Of course, I have to teach her personally. If I leave it to others, it will only hinder her future."
Han Tian teased, "Lord Of The Palace, are you so confident that you won't hinder her future?"
The Lord Of The Palace was not angry at all. He smiled. "Actually, I know that I don't have the right to teach her. But she is still young and is not suitable to go to a place like the Celestial Palace where there is intrigue everywhere. Besides, if she goes directly to the Celestial Palace, she will become arrogant. That is why I want her to go step by step."
Di Tian smiled. "The Lord Of The Palace is really thoughtful."
"It's nothing. I think that anyone who meets a moldable talent would want to do their best to nurture and teach him," the Lord Of The Palace smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see someone."
"See someone?"
The three were stunned.
"You'll know when you get there."
The Lord Of The Palace smiled mysteriously. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept up the three and headed south of West Underworld City.
Not long after, the four stopped in front of a secluded courtyard.
Creak!
The Lord Of The Palace pushed open the small wooden door and walked straight in.
Wutian and the other two followed closely behind.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, their eyes lit up.
In the small courtyard, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom. The fragrance was intoxicating. Among the flowers, there were many small green trees swaying in the wind. It was a beautiful sight.
There were many colorful birds of different sizes. Some landed on the branches, some played in the flowers, and some spread their wings. All kinds of crisp sounds intersected, playing a beautiful movement.
In the center of the courtyard, there was an exquisite and unique small building. It was richly ornamented and had an antique charm. It was very attractive.
Beside it was a pavilion with golden dragon pillars, cornices, and peach blossoms. It was exquisite and gorgeous.
In the pavilion, there was an exquisitely carved stone table with a chessboard on it. An old man and a middle-aged man sat across from each other, engrossed in the game.
The old man was wearing a fiery red coat and had long fiery red hair. He looked quite old, but his eyes were full of vigor.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a brocade robe. He had a dignified appearance, his eyes were like torches, and his temperament was extraordinary.
"Di Li."
Wutian raised his eyebrows.
That's right, the middle-aged man was none other than the Hall Master of West Nether City's Tianbaoge Hall — Di Li!
Someone who is qualified to play Go with Di Li must have an extraordinary status.
Could it be …
Wutian asked in a low voice, "Lord Of The Palace, is that old man the Heavenly Soldier of West Nether City?"
The Lord Of The Palace whispered, "I didn't expect your eyes to be so sharp. That's right, he is the Heavenly Soldier, Lord Yu Huo, but he prefers people to call him Elder Yu. Also, when we get there, don't say a word. Elder Yu has a rule that no one is to disturb him when he is playing Go."
The three nodded and slowed down their pace, silently following behind the Lord Of The Palace.
Han Tian said telepathically, "Wutian, why did he bring us here?"
Wutian replied, "Who knows, but I don't think it's anything bad."
Soon, the three arrived at the pavilion and stood silently to the side.
The three of them knew nothing about Go. After watching for a while, they felt bored and began to look at the scenery around them.
"Haha, this old guy really knows how to enjoy himself." Han Tian said with a hint of sarcasm.
Di Tian smiled and said, "When one's strength reaches his level, it's not enough to just rely on seclusion and bitter cultivation. He still needs to cultivate his body and mind, and raise his mental state. And this is an excellent place for that."
After a while, Elder Yu put down a piece and ended the game.
Di Li cupped his hands, "Elder Yu, you've made progress in Go. I admire you."
"Haha, you little brat, don't think I don't know you're holding back. But I'll let it go today. Tomorrow, you'll have to go all out against me." Elder Yu smiled amiably.
"I didn't expect Elder Yu to see through it. I'm ashamed." Di Li shook his head and looked at Wutian, smiling, "Little brat, we meet again after five years."
Wutian smiled and cupped his hands, "Greetings, Senior Di Li and Elder Yu."
Han Tian and Elder Yu also bowed.
"No need to be so formal." Di Li smiled faintly.
Elder Yu turned around and looked at Wutian's group. After a while, he nodded, "Just as Yuan Jiaoyun said, you're all rare geniuses."
Wutian cupped his hands, "Thank you for your praise, Elder Yu. May I know why you've called us three here?"
"Straightforward, I like it."
Elder Yu laughed and stroked his beard, "A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. This time, I called you three here for two reasons. The first is to communicate with the disciples of the Mystic Palace in West Ink City. The second is to seize the treasure at Zhanluo Divine Ruin."
"Communicate? Seize the treasure? "
The three looked at each other in confusion.
Elder Yu looked at the Lord Of The Palace and ordered, "Gu Jinsheng, explain it to them."
"Yes."
The Lord Of The Palace cupped his hands and bowed to Elder Yu. Then, he looked at Wutian's group and smiled, "It's a long story, so I'll simplify it."
According to the Lord Of The Palace, a few days ago, a divine ruin appeared in the region of West Ink City. After an inspection by the heavenly soldiers of West Ink City, they found that it was the treasure left behind by Zhanluo Divine Ruin a hundred thousand years ago.
Originally, the heavenly soldiers of West Ink City wanted to seal off the news of the divine ruin and only let the disciples of the Mystic Palace in West Ink City enter to seize the treasure. However, this news was leaked and the other five Mystic Palaces of West Ink State learned of it one after another.
Then, under the pressure of Elder Yu and the other heavenly soldiers, the heavenly soldiers of West Ink City expressed that the six Mystic Palace would each send ten disciples to participate in a competition.
The first place would receive thirty spots to enter Zhanluo Divine Ruin, the second place would receive twenty-five spots, the third place would receive fifteen spots, and the fourth and sixth place would each receive ten spots.
In other words, it was called an exchange, but it was actually a competition to obtain the qualifications to enter Zhanluo Divine Ruin.
"That's the general situation. Do you have any questions?" The Lord Of The Palace asked.
Hearing this, Wutian's group frowned.
Originally, they only wanted to obtain the map of West Ink State and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Sacred War.
However, they didn't expect that the three major forces would cause them so much trouble as soon as they arrived at the Mystic Palace.
Han Tian asked, "Was Heavenly God Zhanluo Divine Ruin very famous when he was alive?"
The Lord Of The Palace said with admiration, "Heavenly God Zhanluo Divine Ruin oversaw the North Emperor Continent when he was alive. In other words, he was once the ruler of the north region. After his death, the Celestial Court sent the current Heavenly God Lu Lan to oversee the North Emperor Continent."
"Once the ruler of the north region!"
The three of them were shocked.
After exchanging a look, Di Tian cupped his hands and said, "Lord Of The Palace, Elder Yu, I think that the Mystic Palace doesn't lack powerful disciples. You should send them. Moreover, if the news of us killing Ji Baoyun's original body spreads, the other five Mystic Palace won't let us participate."
"Haha, as Yuan Jiaoyun said, you guys are really hard to deal with."
Elder Yu shook his head and laughed.
Di Tian replied, "Elder Yu's words are too serious. Junior is merely speaking the truth. Moreover, the three of us have just arrived here. If we really go to West Nether City, I'm afraid we'll incur the displeasure of the inner court disciples."
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"I won't beat around the bush. As long as you agree, I will turn a blind eye if you cause trouble for Ji Baoyun and the Ji Family in the future."
Elder Yu had secretly communicated with Yuan Jiaoyun earlier. He knew that these three little fellows were the kind of people who wouldn't do anything without benefits. Therefore, he directly laid out his conditions.
The Lord Of The Palace also said, "Elder Yu and Lord Yuan Jiaoyun will personally order that no one is to spread the news of you killing Ji Baoyun's original body. This matter is an unspeakable humiliation for Ji Baoyun and Ji Wuhui. I believe that they won't mention a word of it to outsiders, so you can rest assured. As for the displeasure of the inner palace disciples, I think such a simple matter shouldn't be too difficult for you! "
"So you've been secretly plotting against us since long ago," Wutian said with a wry smile.
Elder Yu didn't deny it. He revealed a seemingly amiable expression that was actually a sinister smile. "You're right. This old man has already started planning after learning about you from Yuan Jiaoyun."
"Do we have a choice?" Wutian asked.
Elder Yu shook his head. "No. If you don't go, I will stop you from dealing with Ji Baoyun and the Ji Family. This way, you won't be able to answer to Yuan Jiaoyun. At that time … with Yuan Jiaoyun's temper, I'm afraid you'll suffer."
Wutian and the other two looked at each other. There was anger in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
Wutian said, "We agree to go, but let's first clarify the distribution of benefits."
"We only want the godhead and inheritance imprint. The rest of the treasures are yours. However, if you can't snatch the godhead and inheritance, then you won't get any of the other treasures."
As Elder Yu spoke, he took out three black jade bracelets from his spatial bracelet and placed them on the stone table. "This old man has already placed a seal on these three jade bracelets. You can only enter, but not exit. The treasures you obtain must be placed inside as soon as possible."
"Tch, it's up to us whether or not we place our treasures inside the divine ruin. What can you do about it? Can you even see it?"
The three were quite disdainful.
Moreover, Wutian's blood could break any seal!
Suddenly, Elder Yu continued, "I forgot to tell you that this bracelet contains a strand of this old man's Divine Sense. In other words, once you come out, this old man only needs to withdraw this strand of Divine Sense. This old man will clearly know everything that happened in the divine ruin."
As he spoke, he looked at the three with ridicule. His expression seemed to be saying, 'Little guys, you want to fight with me? You're still too inexperienced.'
To the side, Di Li and the Lord Of The Palace's lips curled into a smile.
Seeing this, Wutian and the other two really wanted to slap them. It was clear how furious they were at this moment.
He even secretly cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors of the three of them.
They couldn't be blamed for this. Because of this, their little schemes would undoubtedly all be aborted.
Moreover, if they couldn't snatch the godhead and inheritance imprint, the other treasures would all be gone. If that really happened, then this trip would be in vain.
