Chapter 223: Chapter 224 Phoenix Jade Pendant

A disheveled old Taoist in tattered robes approached slowly.

"Where did this stinking old Taoist come from? Shut your mouth at once!" a warrior from the Northern King’s Hall said, his face full of anger.

"Eh, the Ghostly Healer! What a surprise," Wu Qingcheng said, eyes wide with astonishment.

The Ghostly Healer turned his head, his gaze filled with surprise; "Oh my, isn’t it the famous little witch of the Martial Alliance? What a coincidence you’re here too!"

As he spoke, the Ghostly Healer scrutinized Wu Qingcheng’s curvaceous devilish figure with a sleazy expression; "Hehe, the little witch’s figure is getting better and better!"

"Dirty old Taoist, if you dare to crack another joke with me, believe it or not, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs and kick them around like balls?" Wu Qingcheng’s pretty face turned icy in an instant.

"Cough cough, just a joke!" The Ghostly Healer hastily tried to smooth things over, thinking to himself that he couldn’t afford to provoke this girl’s fiery temper.

"Ghostly Healer!" Ye Wudao, holding Su Tiesheng’s body, said excitedly, "Ghostly Healer, are you saying that old man Su is still alive?"

"It’s not accurate to say he’s not dead, but he has entered a state of false death," the Ghostly Healer commented.

False death!

Ye Wudao’s face showed shock; "But I’ve checked thoroughly, old man Su has stopped breathing!"

The Ghostly Healer approached Su Yueli and suddenly snatched the purple Jade Pendant from her hand.

"What are you doing?" Su Yueli demanded angrily.

"Where did this come from?" The Ghostly Healer looked around warily.

"This... this was given to me by Grandfather!" Su Yueli said with anger in her beautiful eyes; "Give it back to me!"

The Ghostly Healer returned the purple Jade Pendant to Su Yueli and said indifferently, "The reason he’s not dead is that this Jade Pendant protected his heart meridian!"

"This Jade Pendant?" Wu Qingcheng, despite being well-informed, couldn’t identify the origin of the purple Jade Pendant at a glance; "It seems familiar, but I can’t remember at the moment, I think I’ve seen my father with a similar Jade Pendant!"

"Although your father’s Jade Pendant is real too, the quality is far inferior to that of little Miss Su here, it’s like comparing rocks to gold," said the Ghostly Healer.

The Ghostly Healer said lightly; "This Jade Pendant, known as the Phoenix Jade Pendant, is one of the four ultimate Jade Pendants in Dragon Country, indescribably wondrous and an extremely rare spiritual object!"

What?

Wu Qingcheng’s pretty face was filled with shock; "The Phoenix Jade Pendant, isn’t that..."

"Don’t speak, the walls have ears!" The Ghostly Healer suddenly put his finger to his lips, his gaze cautious.

Wu Qingcheng roughly guessed the origin of the Phoenix Jade Pendant and nodded, saying no more.

"Ghostly Healer, can you save old man Su?" asked Ye Wudao.

"Yes," the Ghostly Healer nodded.

Ye Wudao and Su Yueli both brightened up.

"Please sir, save my grandfather!" Su Yueli knelt down.

"Quickly, get up!" The Ghostly Healer helped Su Yueli to her feet and then continued, "Although your grandfather is not dead, false death is still death; to bring someone back to life is as difficult as defying the heavens and extremely troublesome!"

"As long as you can save my grandfather, I’ll do anything you say!" Su Yueli pleaded earnestly.

"Such a filial child!" the Ghostly Healer remarked, then he sighed and said; "To save him, we need a rare herb called Soul Resurrection Grass!"

Soul Resurrection Grass!

Ye Wudao, well-versed in medical texts, frowned and said; "Isn’t the Soul Resurrection Grass found only in the extreme north’s bitter cold lands, very difficult to find?"

"Yes," the Ghostly Healer said; "A person in false death only has seven days. If the Soul Resurrection Grass is not found within seven days, false death becomes true death, beyond even the gods’ ability to save!"

"Seven days, there’s still time, I will definitely find the Soul Resurrection Grass!" Su Yueli’s eyes were resolute.

"I’ve heard that the most famous Tian Long Auction in the Capital City will be held soon, you can try your luck there when the time comes, perhaps you’ll find what you seek!" the Ghostly Healer provided important information.

"Alright," Ye Wudao nodded firmly.

A great battle between the Secret Corps and the Northern King’s Hall was slowly unfurling!

When the news that the Secret Corps had been defeated and their Dark King had been killed by Ye Wudao shocked the entire Capital City!

Ye Wudao’s name was once again celebrated throughout the Capital City!

The influence of this battle was even greater than when Ye Wudao had previously annihilated the Chen family!

...

Night.

In front of the Dark King’s corpse.

Footsteps drew nearer and nearer.

This was a mysterious person, enveloped entirely in a black robe, only a pair of cold eyes visible.

The eerie person in the black robe suddenly extended a hand and placed it on the Dark King’s chest.

"Puh!" The Dark King coughed up blood and slowly opened his eyes, looking at the mysterious person in the black robe before him and said with a bitter smile; "I’ve failed!"

"Useless!" The mysterious person in black rebuked coldly.

"Please give me one more chance!" the Dark King said with a look of unwillingness.

"You don’t have any more chances!" the person in the robe shook his head; "We don’t keep failures!"

"I... I’ve learned a secret about the Phoenix Jade Pendant!" the Dark King suddenly blurted out.

What?

The eyes of the person in the robe, previously dulled, suddenly burst with sharpness, speaking urgently; "Speak quickly!"

"Save me, and I’ll tell you everything I know!" the Dark King said.

"Are you threatening me?" the person in the black robe’s eyes filled with lethal intent, frost appearing on the ground.

The Dark King remained silent.

"Fine, you still have some value to us! As long as you reveal the secret of the Phoenix Jade Pendant, I might help you one last time!" the person in the black robe said coldly; "Remember, this is your last chance!"

"I understand!" the Dark King replied excitedly, and then he revealed the secret of the Phoenix Jade Pendant.

"Su Yueli, I’ve got it," said the person in the black robe, their murderous intent fleeting with a slight smile; "Hehe, Dark King, you have provided a very important piece of information, enough to make up for your failure! We reward and punish clearly, perhaps you’ll turn your misfortune into a blessing, reaching the noble realm of being ennobled a marquis!"

The noble realm!

The Dark King’s lips curled into a cold smile; "Ye Wudao, when I reach the noble realm, your death will be at hand!"
