1001: Part of the plan

"Father Emperor!"

Just as the Hall Master was about to open the box in his hand, the Goddess's anxious voice rang out.

Turning her head to look, the woman with a face full of tear streaks asked with some urgency and her last hope, "Father Emperor, there shouldn't be just one Nirvana Pill, right?"

"Think again, are there perhaps other Nirvana Pills stored elsewhere?"

"God bestows one every twenty years; normally, Father Emperor, you should have accumulated several by now!"

"Haha, how could this Emperor forget whether this level of pill has been used or not?

This Emperor clearly remembers where every single Nirvana Pill was used; indeed, only this one remains now."

Speaking of this, the Hall Master 'comforted', "Qing'er, you don't need to worry; don't I still have one Nirvana Pill here?"

"Just take it and use it."

As he spoke, A Man had already opened the treasure box.

As the empty treasure box appeared before the two of them, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

"Hmm? Where is the Nirvana Pill?"

"This Emperor clearly remembers putting the Nirvana Pill in there!"

The Hall Master's brows immediately furrowed tightly, he turned the treasure box in his hand, and after confirming that the Nirvana Pill had truly disappeared, his face suddenly darkened.

"Who stole the Nirvana Pill?!"

The Hall Master's voice suddenly rose, and strong gusts of wind suddenly swept through the bedchamber.

"Someone!"

A Man shouted towards outside the door.

Jun Chen at the doorway sensed that there seemed to be some change in the bedchamber and couldn't help but anxiously want to step forward.

The guard, however, resolutely blocked him.

And with the two of them interacting like this, two Black Shadows suddenly swept past them, heading straight into the bedchamber!

On the Dragon throne in the bedchamber, the Hall Master looked at the two confidants, the Right Supreme, who had arrived, his expression gloomy: "The Nirvana Pill has been stolen by someone unknown; I order the two of you to find the person who stole the Nirvana Pill within one day for this Emperor!"

Speaking of this, the Hall Master thought of something and glanced at Zhongsun Yiqing: "No!

There is no time left; I will only give you one hour!"

"Qing'er urgently needs that Nirvana Pill now; this Emperor wants you to spare no effort to recover the Nirvana Pill, if you cannot, bring me your heads!"

The Hall Master's words could be said to be stern and decisive.

Among them, he even considered the Goddess.

"Yes, Lord Temple Lord!"

The Right Supreme exchanged glances, then solemnly said, immersed in their act, "We will definitely go all out to find the Nirvana Pill!"

Saying this, the two of them dared not delay in the slightest and walked directly towards outside the Hall.

"No need, Father Emperor, you don't need to search anymore!"

The Goddess curled up into a ball; within these short few minutes, she only felt that her entire body had undergone an indescribable torture!

She regretted it so much, regretting that she had stolen that only Nirvana Pill!

If that Nirvana Pill were still there, there wouldn't be this situation now, where she could only watch Golden Nanny suffer and wait for death, feeling powerless.

If it weren't for Moyun...

Why was she so foolish? That pill that should have saved Golden Nanny's life was actually given by her to Moyun!

Golden Nanny raised her from a young age, pampered and cared for her from childhood, taught her to grow, and her care for her was even more meticulous, but now, at the moment the other party is about to die, she should have had the ability to save her, but the opportunity was still buried by her own hands!

For a moment, Zhongsun Yiqing grabbed her head with both hands, her face full of tear streaks, completely unwilling to face reality.

"Qing'er? What's wrong with you?"

The Hall Master looked at his daughter's behavior like this, his heart was slightly moved, and he found Du Xingchen's scheme even more terrifying.

On the surface, when asking Zhongsun Yiqing, he still maintained an appearance of concerned unawareness.

"Father Emperor, that Nirvana Pill was actually taken by me."

The Goddess choked out her actions.

Originally, she had been thinking of doing everything possible to avoid the mistake she had made.

When she wasn't caught immediately before, and during the subsequent period, when no one discovered that the Nirvana Pill had been stolen, the Goddess herself was still a little secretly pleased.

However, now.

The Goddess only felt guilt and indebtedness.

Her inner guilt towards Golden Nanny shattered and broke all her shields, all reasons favoring Moyun!

"You took the Nirvana Pill?"

The Hall Master heard these expected words, his brows furrowed, and his tone suddenly became heavier: "You actually took something as important and precious as the Nirvana Pill without a word?"

"No, this isn't taking, this is stealing!"

"Qing'er, how could you do such a thing?!"

After speaking, the Hall Master took a deep breath and said: "Since you have that only Nirvana Pill on you, then take it to save someone; when you return, this Emperor will then carry out your punishment!"

"Father Emperor, the Nirvana Pill... has already been given by me to Moyun."

Amidst the intense emotional fluctuations of the Goddess, after her final hesitation, she spoke those words.

If it were before, when she said she had given the Nirvana Pill to Moyun, her posture, tone, and actions would definitely have been an unyielding stance of 'I am not wrong, the Divine Hall is wrong'.

But now.

Thinking of Golden Nanny's situation, the Goddess no longer had such thoughts.

She herself is now also regretful, extremely regretful!

"What did you say?!"

The Hall Master seemed to have just learned this news and showed an expression of disbelief: "You gave the Nirvana Pill to Moyun?!"

"Father Emperor, I will go find Moyun; he definitely hasn't eaten the Nirvana Pill yet, I can ask for the Nirvana Pill back!"

While comforting herself mentally, the Goddess got up somewhat unsteadily.

"Report!"

Also at this moment, amidst a loud shout from outside the Hall, a messenger guard ran over: "Reporting to Lord Temple Lord, five jailers of the Divine Hall prison have been killed by Moyun!

At this moment, the criminal Moyun has escaped from prison!"

Along with the urgent report from the rushing guard, the Goddess's legs were instantly drained of strength, and she knelt back down on the ground.

Moyun had already escaped from prison, and even killed five jailers; just this report alone shows that Moyun has already taken the Nirvana Pill and completed the transformation of his entire body's strength!

This last Nirvana Pill, the only bit of hope, ultimately vanished completely!

"Chase him back for this Emperor!"

The Hall Master slammed the Dragon throne, looked at the current Right Supreme and guards, and ordered furiously.

In fact, Moyun had already escaped from prison and left during the daytime.

The Hall Master only learned the news after Moyun had completely left.

The current situation was merely a play staged for the Goddess to see.

After the Supreme and guards left in a hurry, the Hall Master then looked at the Goddess menacingly.

"Rebellious daughter!"

The angry words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Goddess, heartbroken to the extreme, rolled her eyes and fainted directly.

Watching the Goddess faint, the Hall Master's expression gradually subsided.

The Right Supreme, Mu Qianjun, and Du Xingchen successively arrived in the bedchamber from different positions.

"Is this the new Genius whose cultivation talent can rival Jun Chen, the current number one talent of the Divine Hall?"

"Compared to cultivation talent, his methods are also quite extraordinary!"

Among the Right Supreme below, the Left Supreme looked at Du Xingchen next to the Hall Master and did not hesitate to praise him.

The slightly plump Right Supreme beside him nodded in agreement: "This is the Genius our Divine Hall needs!

Unfortunately, if..."

"Hahaha."

The Right Supreme stopped halfway through speaking and wisely closed his mouth.

Du Xingchen understood what the other party wanted to say.

He simply wanted to express that he was born at the wrong time, missing this crucial Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination when he was at his strongest.

With his current strength, he was destined to be just a participant in this year's Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination.

"Alright, step back and wrap up this matter."

The Hall Master waved his hand at the Right Supreme.

For this operation, the Hall Master only mobilized these few people.

Of course, Golden Nanny herself was also an actress.

Everything unfolded around the Goddess.

"Xingchen."

After the Right Supreme withdrew, the Hall Master looked at Du Xingchen behind him.

"This Junior is here."

"Your idea was good, tell me, what reward do you want?"

The Hall Master looked at Du Xingchen with appreciation and then asked.

Du Xingchen's plan was undoubtedly successful.

Seeing that the Goddess could at least feel regret for her actions, even if this regret stemmed from her indebtedness to Golden Nanny, it was much better than haughtily thinking she was not wrong.

If he had followed the initial idea of punishing the Goddess with beatings and scolding, it would have been impossible to achieve this effect.

Beating and scolding that woman would more likely result in the Goddess completely parting ways with the Divine Hall, and she might even deeply resent the Divine Hall because of it!

It was precisely because of this comparison that Du Xingchen's plan was even more highlighted as successful.

The Hall Master's mood at this time was not particularly good; after all, it was a fact that the Nirvana Pill had been eaten by that fellow Moyun.

But with the successful punishment of the Goddess at this moment, he still felt a little relieved.

Therefore, he would agree to grant Du Xingchen a reward.

"Helping Lord Temple Lord resolve worries and difficulties is this Junior's duty; how could I ask for any reward?"

Du Xingchen resolutely refused to accept the reward.

In this situation, if he were to ask for a reward, it would be a transaction.

But if he didn't want this reward, it would naturally transform into the Hall Master's trust in him.

Helping to this extent wouldn't possibly result in anything good being rewarded to himself anyway, so since that's the case, it's better to turn it into the Hall Master's affirmation of him.

At least, with this favor, he basically didn't have to worry about anyone daring to openly harm him on the entire continent!

"Haha, you young fellow."

The Hall Master naturally understood Du Xingchen's calculation and was increasingly satisfied with his performance.

"Alright, this Emperor will wait for you to bring Qing'er to Divine Hall City based on your ranking in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination; we will meet again then."

The Hall Master was not troubled by this.

"Also, don't forget to take this."

The Hall Master took out a small box from his Storage Ring and threw it to Du Xingchen.

Reaching out to take the box, the pill fragrance belonging only to the Nirvana Pill slowly drifted out.

"This thing is not a reward, this is part of the plan, you know that, right?"

The Hall Master instructed.

"Naturally, I know that, then this Junior will take my leave."

Du Xingchen bowed and saluted.

"Mm, go."

The Hall Master nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Du Xingchen felt a sense of relief in his heart.

The Divine Hall Hall Master before him, his true strength was the ceiling of combat power in this entire Lower Realm.

Staying with him seemed ordinary, but the pressure was real.
