Chapter 609: Chapter 304: Collaboration Between Two Women

The healing effects of the Blood Coagulating Cold Pond were remarkable. In just one day, Qu Hongling’s injuries had recovered by seventy percent.

Moreover, Qu Hongling was inherently a phoenix demon, possessing some self-healing abilities.

However, the subsequent rehabilitation in the cold pond was slow, and concerned about Jiang Shouzhong, Qu Hongling decided not to waste any more time, dressed in the clothes Yelü Miaomiao had given her, and ended her healing session.

"Not bad, the clothes really do fit well."

As Qu Hongling walked out of the cave, Yelü Miaomiao’s beautiful eyes lit up.

In the past, Qu Hongling always favored a fiery red long dress, gradually cultivating an air of youthful, light grace and beauty.

Now, she wore a pale pink long dress, and the vivacity and boldness imparted by the red dress had quietly receded, replaced by a freshness and purity like dew at dawn.

Yelü Miaomiao joked, "There are rumors in Jianghu saying Qu Hongling will become the first beauty of the Demon Clan. I used to think that maybe the Sky Demon Sect was just promoting their Sect Master, but now it seems she truly lives up to the reputation."

Qu Hongling’s face was rosy from her recovery, no longer displaying her previous disheveled and weary state. Upon hearing this, her lips couldn’t help but curve upwards, "I just wonder if the Princess herself is the first beauty of Yanrong."

Yelü Miaomiao blinked: "If you want to see what’s under my veil, it’s simple—just call me ’sister’ and see?"

Sister...

These two words made Qu Hongling momentarily stunned.

She remembered Ran Qingchen.

She didn’t know if she would have the chance to call her ’sister’ again.

Qu Hongling felt a surge of sadness within her, sighed softly, and then seriously said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? I’m in a hurry and can’t delay for long."

"What, in a hurry to meet your lover?"

Yelü Miaomiao tossed the alcohol flask to the young girl, teasing her again.

Qu Hongling didn’t like drinking, but upon smelling the aroma of the kumis, she couldn’t resist taking a sip and smiled, saying, "Congratulations, you guessed right. I indeed am in a hurry to meet my lover."

Yelü Miaomiao thought she was joking and didn’t believe her, as after all, which man in the world could win the heart of the first beauty of the Demon Clan.

"Aren’t you afraid I poisoned it?"

Yelü Miaomiao smirked, eyeing the flask.

Qu Hongling shook her head, "No, I have already checked it."

Yelü Miaomiao took the flask back, put away her teasing demeanor, and said seriously, "I plan to seize an artifact from the forbidden area, called the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram."

The Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram?

Qu Hongling’s pretty face showed a stunned expression.

Rumors had it that the Zhuge Family possessed two treasures. One was the Water Moon Dream Mirror, and the other was the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram.

Although not as well-known as the Water Moon Dream Mirror, the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram was once revered as the number one artifact on the battlefield.

In the Array Diagram, one could command the heavens and earth, summon wind and rain, and call forth spirits and gods.

Possessing the Array Diagram meant one could control the outcome of any battlefield, turning clouds over with a flip of the hand.

Yet, compared to the mysterious Water Moon Dream Mirror, the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram had long since been lost, disappearing without trace.

Qu Hongling frowned and asked, "Are you sure the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram is here?"

Yelü Miaomiao nodded, "Of course I’m sure, Myriad Phenomena God Sect is originally a Taoist sect, collecting all Taoist treasures. People of Jianghu think the Eight Trigrams Array was lost, little do they know that Myriad Phenomena God Sect has secretly hidden it away. I just got lucky to obtain this information."

Thinking that the other party was Princess Yanrong, who could obtain such secretive information, Qu Hongling was no longer surprised.

Qu Hongling asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Follow me first."

Yelü Miaomiao’s ankles moved slightly, and a pleasant tinkling of bells sounded.

Feather-light, thin as cicada wings, pink petals began to float slowly from the void.

These petals had translucent, faintly glowing edges, twirling and dancing in midair, then silently converged behind Yelü Miaomiao, gently attaching themselves to form a pair of delicate wings.

The girl’s hair fluttered in the wind, resonating with the wings on her back, giving off a transcendent aura, like a Flower Fairy fallen to the mortal realm.

This scene left Qu Hongling spellbound.

"Can you control the sword?"

Yelü Miaomiao rose into the air lightly, laughing as she spoke.

Qu Hongling slightly nodded her head, taking out the Phoenix Slaying Sword and stepping onto it.

"Let’s go."

Yelü Miaomiao flapped her wings, sweeping towards the deep valley.

About the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, the two women arrived in front of a Taoist temple.

The temple was quite majestic, imposing.

Standing between the mountain recesses as if a dragon soaring and a tiger crouching, it dominated the wilderness.

In front of the gate, several white jade pillars were erected, like celestial columns supporting the heavens, circulating the natural power of the Taoist laws.

Between the pillars, iron chains extended across, intertwining and wrapping around each other.

The inside of the temple was shrouded in heavy white fog, obscuring the view inside, and in the distance, several giant stone figures could be seen, occasionally accompanied by roaring sounds.

"It seems someone has already made their way in,"

Yelü Miaomiao said, her eyes intense.

Qu Hongling observed those jade pillars, calmly stating, "This is the Divine Firmament Nine Revolutions Array of Taoism. Nine revolutions return to one, one revolution brings nine changes, the array’s eye is at the center, surrounded by myriad phenomena.

Apart from that, the array contains the energy of divine firmament, shielding those within from external enemies, and making the puppet demons within as if clad in golden armor, impervious to blades and spears."

Yelü Miaomiao smiled, "It seems I picked the right helper."

Qu Hongling helplessly replied, "Although I can recognize the formation, I’m powerless to break it once we’re inside. We can only rely on luck to find the location of the formation’s eye."

"That’s alright, we take one step at a time. If we encounter danger, I will protect you,"

Yelü Miaomiao stated.

...

The two entered the Taoist temple, and a wave of scorching heat hit their faces, as if the ground itself had been baked.

Yelü Miaomiao lifted her palm, and a Little Flower Demon flew out from the bell, hovering in her palm.
