"Hall Master, the secret storehouse is in the Feng Hall and is guarded by Hall Guards. The key is your Spiritual Space Ring. If Hall Master is interested, I can lead the way. "
While Wei Bofang was still in a daze, Zhuge Jun had already taken the lead.
After all, he had to maintain the image of a straightforward official, so it was inevitable for him to be reserved sometimes. Moreover, the first request of Hall Master Dugu after taking office was indeed difficult to imagine.
On the other hand, Zhuge Jun was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He only wanted to make the Hall Master happy without any scruples.
The Spiritual Space Ring was the ring that represented the identity of the Ethereal Palace's Hall Master. Apart from the storage function, it had no other special abilities. Moreover, the storage space was not large, even smaller than an ordinary storage box. It was probably because of its long history and the significance of its own identity.
Dou Mian had already handed it over to him.
Naturally, the ring was empty. Dou Mian had already cleared out all the valuable things.
Jiang Wang played with the black ring in his hand. The two words "Ethereal" were engraved on the inside of the ring.
He was very satisfied with Zhuge Jun's "tactfulness", so he directly said, "Take me to see it."
Until now, Jiang Wang had officially taken over the Ethereal Palace, but there was no response from the Cloud Top Immortal Palace in the Five Prefectures Sea. He guessed that perhaps the most important thing in the Ethereal Palace was some kind of token or inheritance, so he first proposed the idea of going to the secret storehouse.
Zhuge Jun happily led the way in front. Jiang Wang said, "Chief Wei, come with us."
Wei Bofang, who was still upset about missing the opportunity, immediately became spirited, "I will obey Hall Master's orders."
In the entire Ethereal Palace, there was not a single Outer House expert. Probably the previous Hall Master and Protector were, but they were all dealt with by Dou Mian.
Now, the Protector and Elder were all Inner House experts. The two stronger Protectors had already left with Dou Mian. In Jiang Wang's opinion, the remaining people were not as strong as Zhong Qin, who died in Chi Yun Mountain.
Zhuge Jun, the new Elder, was only at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm.
Such a sect's strength, of course, was better than an ordinary city, but compared to the Cloud Top Pavilion, which was also related to the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, the gap was too big. It was no wonder that a small country like Cheng Country had no autonomy and was easily conquered by Dou Mian.
Of course, a force like the Ethereal Palace had its own business value. However, it was located in a place like Chengguo. For Jiang Wang, there was no room for development.
That being said, it didn't stop Jiang Wang from trying to win people's hearts and "tame" his subordinates. Understanding the affairs of the world is all for cultivation.
The Reception Hall was one of the three important halls of the Ethereal Palace. Aside from the Conference Hall, there was also the Martial Arts Hall.
This hall was used to consecrate the incense of the previous Hall Masters. At the same time, it also served as a secret storehouse.
There was no such thing as the palace guards not recognizing the new Palace Master and not allowing Jiang Wang to enter.
Wei Bofang's old face was already very useful in the Ethereal Palace. Moreover, Jiang Wang was wearing a Spiritual Space Ring, so no one dared to stop him.
The three of them entered the Hall of Worship. In front of the main hall stood the memorial tablets of the Ethereal Palace's Palace Masters. It was raised high, solemn and respectful.
A huge incense burner was emitting green smoke in front of the memorial tablets.
Jiang Wang lit a stick of incense and made a show of it. He joked, "Should we put up Dou Mian's memorial tablet too?"
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun looked at each other. They didn't dare to say anything.
They still didn't know the personality of the new Palace Master. They didn't know if he wanted to kill Dou Mian. They didn't know if he was serious or just joking.
They saw with their own eyes that Jiang Wang returned the Tianyo Blade to Dou Mian. That scene was enough to show that Dou Mian, an Internal House Cultivator with Remarkable Powers, was weak in front of Jiang Wang. He was even forced to give up his position.
However, Jiang Wang might really dare to kill Dou Mian, but they didn't even dare to think about it.
Jiang Wang felt bored that his new "subordinates" were so timid. He changed the topic, "Where's the secret storehouse?"
This time, Wei Bofang spoke first, "It's in the back hall. Only the Palace Master can enter. You'll know when you enter."
He reached out and pointed to the ring mark on the wall, "Point the spiritual ring here, and you'll be able to open the back hall."
The spiritual ring was worn on the index finger of his left hand. Jiang Wang gently rubbed it with the pad of his thumb. He had learned his lesson from being tricked into the formation by Lin Zhengren. He looked at the two Elders he appointed with a faint smile, "There won't be any traps inside, right?"
"How could there be? How would I dare to be disloyal to the Palace Master? "Zhuge Jun immediately expressed his loyalty. Although with his previous identity, he probably didn't know what was in the secret storehouse.
Wei Bofang stepped forward and bowed, "If the Palace Master can forgive my presumptuous behavior, I'm willing to go in with the Palace Master and explore the way for the Palace Master."
This old man who was used to flattering others! Zhuge Jun cursed in his heart. He blamed himself for not thinking of this way to show his loyalty and get closer to the Palace Master.
Just listen.
Taking the risk to explore the way for the Palace Master. How magnanimous and loyal was this!
The problem was that they all knew that there was no danger in the Feng Hall. They had never heard of any Palace Master getting into trouble in the secret storehouse. This way of expressing their loyalty was a free win. There were only benefits and no harm.
Jiang Wang looked at them for a while and smiled, "Chief Elder's loyalty is commendable. I was just joking with you. Just wait here. I'll be back soon. "
Zhuge Jun was an Elder he had just promoted today. Before this, no one could have guessed that he would put Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun in important positions. It was even more impossible for these two to have colluded beforehand.
Judging from their behavior, the Feng Hall should be safe. And if there was any abnormal reaction from the Cloud Top Immortal Palace, he didn't want these two to see it.
He said he valued them, but how could he really trust these two?
So Jiang Wang finally decided to go to the rear hall himself.
Walking past the huge table where the tablets of the Ethereal Palace's Palace Masters were enshrined, Jiang Wang stretched out his left hand with the spiritual ring and inserted the ring into the mark on the wall.
With a rumble, the thick grey-black wall opened.
Jiang Wang stepped in, and the wall closed again.
To be honest, Jiang Wang was a little disappointed throughout the whole process of entering the Feng Hall and entering the secret storehouse. The so-called secret storehouse of the Ethereal Palace wasn't very secretive.
It was as if anyone could easily come in after killing the Palace Master and taking the spiritual ring.
Walking into the rear hall, this feeling of disappointment was even stronger.
What appeared in his field of vision was, of course, a grand and magnificent palace. There were all kinds of gorgeous brackets, faintly telling of the past wealth.
Unfortunately, most of the brackets were empty. Occasionally, there were some items left, but they were all dim and didn't look precious.
But this was actually something that could be expected.
The Ethereal Palace was crippled by Zhuang Chengqian many years ago, and the remaining forces ran to the Cheng Country to settle down. It could be said that they were at death's door. After many years of accumulation and recuperation, there was no improvement. Not long ago, they were reluctantly subdued by Dou Yu. Even if there were any treasures in the secret storehouse, they couldn't possibly remain.
If Jiang Wang knew that Yun Youweng had also sneaked into the Ethereal Palace to plan, there was even less to be disappointed.
This place was already full of holes.
Jiang Wang didn't have much expectation for the treasures in the secret storehouse. What troubled him was that if there wasn't any matching token in the Ethereal Palace, or if that thing had already been lost … what would happen to his Cloud Top Immortal Palace?
Could it be that the clue that Bai Yuntong blurted out wasn't the real clue?
Just as he thought of Bai Yuntong, there was a movement from the Cloud Top Immortal Palace in the Five Residences Sea.
Jiang Wang opened his mouth and spat out. Bai Yuntong, who was half the size of a finger, stepped on flowing clouds and floated out leisurely.
