Chapter 601: Chapter 300 Two Women’s Thoughts

As Princess Yanrong, largely because of Empress Dowager Xiao’s cooperation with the Demon Clan, Yelü Miaomiao had a fairly good understanding of the Demon Clan, especially the legendary character Qu Hongling.

However, Yanrong had a somewhat hostile relationship with the Sky Demon Sect.

It was because Empress Dowager Xiao had once sought to recruit the Sky Demon Sect, but was refused, and ultimately cooperated with Thousand Beasts Forest.

And Thousand Beasts Forest and the Sky Demon Sect were always at odds with each other.

Backed by the powerful support of Yanrong, Thousand Beasts Forest opposed the Sky Demon Sect at every turn.

Similarly, when Qu Hongling heard the name "Yelü Miaomiao," at first she was startled, then her large and bright almond eyes slightly tensed, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "You are that princess from Yanrong."

"I didn’t expect that Sect Master Qu would also know of me,"

Yelü Miaomiao said with a smile.

Qu Hongling was conflicted.

In principle, their stances should be that of enemies, so she was surprised to find herself rescued by the princess.

Looking at the seriously injured Qu Hongling, Yelü Miaomiao showed a puzzled expression, "Why would a Demon Clan Sect Master come to such a place? Who’s pursuing you?"

Qu Hongling did not answer but asked with curiosity, "What place is this?"

"Wind Rift Valley."

"Wind Rift Valley?"

Upon hearing these words, Qu Hongling was startled and said with wonder, "The forbidden lands of the Myriad Phenomena God Sect?"

As a Taoist sect well-known in Jianghu, Myriad Phenomena God Sect had long been vying with Taoxuan Mountain for the title of Taoist leader. And their greatest asset was Wind Rift Valley.

There was once an Immortal from the Taoist sect who chose this place to pass away.

And the Asura Queen had once come here to retreat, ultimately creating the "Wanxiang Senluo Great Skill."

Yelü Miaomiao nodded with a smile, "Exactly, I also stumbled in by chance. Some guy with a mountain on his back broke the Myriad Phenomena God Sect’s three major Taoxuan divine altars, leading the forbidden sanctuary’s magic door to be destroyed, causing many people to sneak in and try to grab the opportunity."

Hearing what Yelü Miaomiao said, Qu Hongling came to a realization.

No wonder she could come to this place; the sanctuary’s doors had been destroyed.

She had no idea which divine being could have broken the Myriad Phenomena God Sect’s three great Taoxuan divine altars. But this was good, at least it gave Jiang and the others a chance to escape.

"That means, the person who was following me earlier, was also someone who sneaked into the forbidden lands,"

Qu Hongling thought secretly.

Seeing the changing expressions on Qu Hongling’s face and thinking she was interested in gaining fortunes in this land, Yelü Miaomiao said with a smile, "Sect Master Qu, I know of a place where you can heal your injuries. Shall I take you there?"

Qu Hongling slightly furrowed her beautiful brows, "Why would you want to help me?"

"Of course, it’s to discuss terms with you."

Without hiding her intentions, Yelü Miaomiao revealed her purpose, "I would like to talk about cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?" Qu Hongling’s beautiful eyes shimmered, "Aren’t you in a partnership with Thousand Beasts Forest?"

Yelü Miaomiao’s almond eyes were filled with a smile, and she casually brushed her hair at the temples as she spoke, "Anyway, the true lineage of the Demon Clan lies with the Sky Demon Sect. If Sect Master Qu is willing to cooperate, we can help you remove some obstacles, such as... internal ones."

Qu Hongling wasn’t swayed by the grand promises of the other party, and she still didn’t trust what Yanrong represented.

However, the sincerity Yelü Miaomiao showed wasn’t feigned, and Qu Hongling could feel that, so she felt a bit of goodwill towards the princess rumored to be the pearl of the grasslands.

Perhaps understanding Qu Hongling’s hesitation, Yelü Miaomiao said with a smile,

"Sect Master Qu needn’t rush to reply. I think I should first take you to heal your injuries. Many outsiders have sneaked into this place, and Myriad Phenomena God Sect is capturing intruders, even releasing mechanized stone people. Given your current condition, it’s still very dangerous."

After hesitating for a moment, Qu Hongling nodded lightly, "Then I’ll trouble Princess."

The other party was right; healing her injuries was the top priority.

As long as her injuries were healed, she would be able to go out and look for Nan Shuang and Jiang.

"Just call me Miaomiao."

Yelü Miaomiao smiled brightly, her slender waist subtly twisting as she led Qu Hongling into the depths of the forest.

Half an incense stick of time later, the two arrived at a cave.

The interior of the cave wasn’t as dark and lightless as outsiders might imagine but emitted a faint, nearly imperceptible glow from cracks in the rocks.

Inside was a bed of natural rock covered with a thin layer of moss.

In the center of the cave, there was a small pool.

The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, like an uncarved piece of jade set amidst the tranquility. A gentle mist lingered over the surface of the pool, and as one drew closer, a strong chill could be felt.

"This place was once a cavern dwelled in by the Asura Queen,"

Yelü Miaomiao pointed to the pool and explained, "This is called the ’Blood Coagulating Cold Pond,’ known for its excellent healing properties. Although its effectiveness is not as great as it once was due to the passage of time, it’s still sufficient for healing your injuries."

Qu Hongling looked around the cave, noticing some intentionally destroyed marks on the wall and guessed, "The mantras of the All-Encompassing Senluo skill must have been inscribed on these cave walls once."

Yelü Miaomiao nodded her head lightly, "That’s right, after Myriad Phenomena God Sect made imprints of it, they destroyed the inscriptions on the stone walls. But the secrets of All-Encompassing Senluo aren’t only in this cave, it’s just one of several places."

With that, Yelü Miaomiao took a bundle from the corner and handed a clean skirt-shawl to her.

"Our figures are quite similar, I am just slightly taller than you, so it should fit you."

Qu Hongling took the skirt-shawl with an odd look on her face, "How long have you been here?"

Yelü Miaomiao replied, "I was originally planning to go to the Capital, but as I passed by, I happened to see the doors to the forbidden land destroyed. Remembering there was a treasure in here I needed, I snuck in; it’s been about a day and a half."
