761: Caught the fish, the Heavenly Palace Killer

"Brother Xie, was the Princess Zhuque looking at you just now?"

Heartless and Fu Aniu looked at Xie Weilou with strange expressions; the Princess Zhuque's gaze had clearly lingered on Xie Weilou for a moment.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: "Being handsome and capable makes one popular with ladies everywhere! Even a beauty from the ancient era cannot resist my handsome face."

That gaze from the Princess Zhuque made him realize that she must have sensed the aura of the Nanming Li Fire or the vermilion bird crystal.

However, it didn't matter. He dared to come here and dared to open this coffin, so he feared nothing.

"..."

Heartless and Fu Aniu smiled speechlessly.

Xie Weilou fiddled with the Storage Ring given by Holy Master Chunyang, quietly releasing his Divine Soul to investigate the surroundings.

He discovered a gaze hidden very deeply watching him. He was not unfamiliar with that aura—it was the aura of an assassin!

Thinking of this, the smile on Xie Weilou's face deepened.

Holy Master Chunyang looked at everyone present and cupped his hands: "I thank all Fellow Daoists for coming here. Now that the Princess Zhuque has appeared, those of you interested can stay in our Pure Yang Holy Land for a period of time, and those who wish to leave may do so at any time."

Everyone who came today mainly wanted to see the Golden Crow Ancient Holy Son and the Princess Zhuque. Now that the two had appeared, everyone had seen them.

As for those Saints and Prodigies, it would be unrealistic to want to spar with the Golden Crow Ancient Holy Son and the Princess Zhuque.

The two had not yet recovered to their Peak, so it was impossible for them to make a move.

"We shall take our leave."

Some of them bowed to Holy Master Chunyang and left quickly.

"Let's go too!"

Xie Weilou said to Fu Aniu and Heartless.

The people who needed to be killed had been killed, and the two people from the ancient era had been seen, so naturally, they could not stay here for long, otherwise, there might be big trouble.

"Alright!"

Fu Aniu and Heartless nodded.

Subsequently, the three of them flew away.

After leaving the Secret Realm of the Pure Yang Holy Land, the three did not linger and flew directly out of the Pure Yang Holy City.

Thirty miles away from the Holy City.

At the top of a mountain.

Xie Weilou looked at Heartless and Fu Aniu: "The mountains are high and the road is long, we shall meet again another day!"

Having stayed in the Fire Province for so long, he naturally had to leave.

Fu Aniu took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Xie Weilou: "The Emperor Clan Fu is located in the Zhan Prefecture. If Brother Xie wants to go to the Zhan Prefecture in the future, you can use this token to pass unimpeded, or you can use this token to find me at the Fu Clan."

"Alright!"

Xie Weilou smiled and put away the token.

Heartless chuckled: "This poor monk has discovered a good place and intends to go wandering with Fellow Daoist Fu for a while."

"Alright! You two do as you please, I shall take my leave first."

Xie Weilou nodded. Without hesitation, he flew away quickly; he wanted to see if he could fish out a fish.

——————

Half an hour later.

In a forest.

Xie Weilou walked forward lazily with his hands inside his sleeves.

Rip!

Suddenly, there was a sound of space tearing. Monstrous killing intent erupted, and the world was filled with terrifying blood-red Qi. A cold glint shot out instantly, aiming straight for Xie Weilou's head.

"..."

Xie Weilou seemed unable to react.

Rip!

The cold glint was extremely fast, instantly piercing through Xie Weilou's head. It was a pitch-black cold blade, carrying terrifying killing intent.

The one holding this cold blade was a Mysterious Person in a black robe and mask, with the aura of a Cultivation Stage.

He sneered: "It's done!"

Boom!

Just as he finished speaking, a hand pierced through his body, protruding directly from his chest, grabbing his heart inside. Blood spurted out.

"..."

The Mysterious Person widened his eyes, a look of fear appearing in them. The Xie Weilou in front of him had disappeared.

Xie Weilou's true self appeared behind the Mysterious Person. He was holding the Mysterious Person's heart and said with a smile: "The fish has come out!"

Bang!

After speaking, he squeezed hard, and the heart was instantly crushed into blood mist.

"You... how is this possible?"

The Mysterious Person made a sound of horror. As an assassin from the Heavenly Palace, despite having only the cultivation of a Cultivation Stage, many Guixu Peak had died in his hands.

Rumble!

Xie Weilou suddenly reached out, grabbed the Mysterious Person's head, and sneered: "An assassin from the Heavenly Palace."

"..."

The Mysterious Person's pupils shrank.

Xie Weilou said coldly: "Now answer me some questions."

Boom!

The Mysterious Person did not answer. His eyes turned fierce, his Divine Soul shook, and he was about to detonate his Divine Soul.

"Want to die? Ridiculous!"

Xie Weilou slapped down, and the Mysterious Person was instantly slapped into blood mist.

He summoned the ten thousand souls banner and directly took the other party's Divine Soul into the ten thousand souls banner.

When dealing with Chongming Tower before, he discovered that there was a Restriction hidden within the other party's Divine Soul.

This Mysterious Person was likely the same. Using the ten thousand souls banner to suppress him, he could search for part of his memories.

Casually putting away the ten thousand souls banner, Xie Weilou flew away.

One hour passed.

Xie Weilou headed into a mountain range, found a decent area, and opened up a simple Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Xie Weilou summoned the ten thousand souls banner to refine and search the Divine Soul.

The Mysterious Person's Divine Soul indeed had a terrifying Restriction. This kind of Restriction was extremely profound; it was already linked to the Divine Soul and branded upon it. It was very difficult to resolve, and once touched, it would explode instantly.

However, with the ten thousand souls banner suppressing and refining it, he could obtain part of the memories.

After a while.

The ten thousand souls banner refined the Divine Soul, and Xie Weilou obtained part of the other party's memories.

According to the Mysterious Person's memories, his recent rise to fame had already been targeted by the Heavenly Palace.

An Elder of the Heavenly Palace with the code name "Bone" personally issued the mission to assassinate him.

Just because he rose to fame, they wanted to kill him?

Or were there other reasons?

The Mysterious Person did not know about this; he only accepted this mission and was only responsible for the assassination; he knew nothing else.

In the other party's memories, there was no information involving the Zhenxi Marquis Manor, nor much information about the Heavenly Palace.

"Heavenly Palace, Elder Gu?"

Xie Weilou put away the ten thousand souls banner, a look of contemplation on his face.

Peeling the cocoon to find the silk, proceeding step by step, sooner or later he would be able to find out everything.

This Elder Gu was a key figure. Perhaps finding the other party would reveal more information.

Unfortunately, wanting to find the other party was not easy. People from the Heavenly Palace were spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness, and every time they received a mission, it was in a different area.

As for where the Heavenly Palace's headquarters was, this Mysterious Person was simply not qualified to know.

"We'll see in the future."

Xie Weilou suppressed the emotions in his heart and took out the Storage Ring given by Holy Master Chunyang.

After opening the Storage Ring.

Three items appeared inside.

A rusty bronze Pill Furnace.

A fiery red flame box.

A flame jade bottle.

Xie Weilou picked up the bronze Pill Furnace, released his Divine Soul, and observed it carefully.

The things produced by Holy Master Chunyang were definitely not simple...
