Chapter 861: Chapter 855: Going to the Back Mountain of Lotus Village

A carriage approached from the front, and Yu Jizi stopped, his follower Jin Ziyuan also halted.

The person who alighted from the carriage, upon seeing Yu Jizi, hurriedly jumped down and clasped his hands in salute: "Master."

Yu Jizi gave a slight nod and said, "Take him up, to the ancient tomb."

No one would have imagined that Jin Ziyuan could be taken away by Yu Jizi so easily.

However, apart from Yu Jizi, Tian Jizi was aware. He had heard from Yue Rujing’s report that Jin Ziyuan was left at the East Sea military camp, guarded by tens of thousands, unable to escape.

Hearing this, he knew that Jin Ziyuan must have already fallen into the hands of Yu Jizi.

He did not directly ask Jin Zijin to look for Jin Ziyuan, instead, he said, "It would be enough if we find the place where Yu Jizi conducts his rituals. Do not worry about Jin Ziyuan anymore. He has many of his men in the East Sea. He probably already knew when you guys set up the suspicious plot."

Yue Rujing was severely struck by this, yet she had nothing to say.

The master was always accurate, except when he was confused.

Jin Zijin said, "He is not near Beijing now, the world is so vast, where could he take them?"

Tian Jizi stroked his beard, his face inscrutable, "The Soul Transfer Formation requires the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to succeed. And after generations of exploration by the Sect Leader of Xuanzong, a location has been found that is very suited for setting up the formation."

"Where?" Jin Zijin asked anxiously.

"The place chosen by the great ancestor of Xuanzong," Tian Jizi said indifferently. "You should know where it is already."

The place selected by that predecessor of Xuanzong, isn’t it the hill behind Lotus Village?

Indeed, that area’s mountainous terrain is naturally endowed, a truly suitable place, but...

Jin Zijin bowed slightly, a look of surprise on his face as he said to Tian Jizi, "The tomb of Xuanzong’s predecessor at that location has been destroyed and the feng shui is already ruined. Master, they likely won’t conduct the ritual there."

Tian Jizi, however, smiled and said, "The dragon in ’dragon veins’—how could it only have one eye? Just find the corresponding other eye of the dragon."

He put on his sword case and said to Yue Rujing, "The rest is up to you. Zijin, come with your master and go."

...

After a long journey, the temperature inside the carriage became higher and higher.

As it neared a small river, the carriage stopped.

"Madam, the journey ahead is long, and the weather these past few days has been exceptionally scorching. Why not stop at the nearby town? We will surely ensure the safety of the Young Prince on his return."

As Madam stepped down from the carriage and looked at the fierce sun in the sky, the scorching sun made her dizzy and nauseated.

Yet she clenched her teeth and endured, saying, "No, You Jiang, I must go myself. Mo Shu’s body is there. Shall I allow Ziyuan to remain there as well? Even if I can’t change anything, I must go and bring their bodies back myself, not letting them rot in the wilderness."

"Madam," You Jiang advised, "Madam, the Young Prince will be fine. He just needs help completing the ceremony, this is what he promised us back then. Just rest assured and wait here, You Jiang will surely bring back both the Prince’s and the Young Prince’s bodies."

Madam shook her head and said, "I haven’t had the chance to see him for so many years, this time I must go myself."

"Madam..."

"You Jiang, stop talking," Madam interrupted You Jiang from continuing, then she said to a maid by the side, "Go fetch some water from the river, and let’s continue our journey."

This time, You Jiang had secretly brought Madam out of the Ningwang Residence with few people, all loyal followers who had survived the years.
