Chapter 1199: Chapter 518: Subtly, Subtly, My Lord, Do Not Seek

Half a day later, in the bamboo forest.

Xie Danran looked at the approaching figure, his face expressing incredulity.

"Why, why?"

He was puzzled. He had responded perfectly, his disguise impeccable. Why then had the Commandery Princess still sent someone to kill him?

Had it been earlier, with his status, he wouldn’t have feared the Commandery Princess.

But now, after she had saved Jining Prefecture, wanting his death was just a small caprice of power.

He simply couldn’t resist.

"The Commandery Princess said you didn’t deny being a murderer, a bandit, a villain..." The Black Robe Elder said sternly, his magic artifact trembling in his hand.

Xie Danran looked bewildered: "But! She! Didn’t! Even! Ask!"

How could he answer when she hadn’t asked? Xie Danran appeared indignant.

Regrettably, indignation was futile. His body went limp, and he died on the spot.

The Black Robe Elder glanced at him, then disappeared from sight.

About a quarter of an hour later, an old man appeared with a bun still in his mouth.

He looked at the body on the ground and poured out a liquid.

Hiss.

Xie Danran’s body dissolved into a puddle of water, leaving no trace of his bones.

"According to the young master, he now doesn’t even have the chance to become a Strange Spirit."

Chen Kangbao wore a sleazy smile and also disappeared into the bamboo forest.

...

Heavenly Sect stronghold.

Zhou Xun’s expression was menacingly grim as he promptly saluted Wang Qingyi at a short distance.

"Some time ago, Danran offended Lingxuan, and I’m here to apologize for him."

He had just learned of his disciple’s death.

Now, with Xie Danran killed by Commandery Princess Jiang Yunxi, although he was furious, he could do nothing about it.

Firstly, Jiang Yunxi gained the upper hand by killing the Water Lord and riding the big trends.

Secondly, new information indicated that the Water Lord and Thornblood’s Elder had deep ties with Heavenly Sect, which also fell in the recent events, putting Heavenly Sect at a disadvantage.

Thirdly, Wei Kun’s death was a blow to Heavenly Sect.

As Xie Danran had died, he now apologized on behalf of his disciple to avoid the Shen Family being implicated in this matter because of previous issues.

This was the only thing he, as a Master, could do now.

"Ha." Wang Qingyi snorted, "Evil deeds will wreak their own doom."

Zhou Xun’s face showed an awkward expression as he changed the topic: "The magic artifact, Kitchen Knife, held by Commandery Princess Yunxi... you really believe it shattered as she claimed?"

Hearing this mention of the mysterious Kitchen Knife, Wang Qingyi’s expression grew solemn.

"It must be false. I’ll make a bold statement here: with Commandery Princess Yunxi’s capabilities, even ten of her would be no match for my disciple Lingxuan.

To kill the Water Lord and Thornblood’s Elder is exceedingly difficult.

From this, it’s clear... that magic artifact Kitchen Knife is terrifying... How could it shatter?"

"The Royal Family gains much strength with this magic artifact, making the days difficult for Heavenly Sect and the ancient Lei Sect," Zhou Xun sighed.

In Ning Country, the Royal Family had declined, being weaker than both Heavenly Sect and the ancient Lei Sect. But with the magic artifact Kitchen Knife, their offenses and defenses would switch roles.

"How did Commandery Princess Yunxi come into possession of this artifact, and... which Grandmaster crafted this piece?" Wang Qingyi was curious, a puzzled look in her eyes.

It was a mystery.

After all, everyone knew that Ning Country currently lacked a Sky Level Artificer.

Nor had she heard of any Grandmaster from nearby capitals capable of making a... Kitchen Knife-shaped magic artifact.

A Kitchen Knife... seemed overly crude.

Though admittedly, this Kitchen Knife was powerful, it still appeared comical in many people’s eyes.

Then, Zhou Xun appeared to recall something and muttered, "Such an artifact might greatly interest those from Rakshasa Country too. I wonder if Commandery Princess Yunxi can keep it safe."

Wang Qingyi’s expression shifted slightly, "Zhou Xun, regardless, this is a conflict within our own Ning Country.

Whether the Kitchen Knife remains in the hands of the Royal Family or someone else, it’s still beneficial for our Ning Country.

If you were to..."

"Sister, you misunderstand, I would certainly not undertake such an action!" Zhou Xun hurriedly responded.

"Ha!" Wang Qingyi snorted coldly again.

Zhou Xun’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, somewhat flustered. Why did today’s topic-shifting make his senior sister even angrier?

It seems, he had to shift the topic again!

He turned towards Shen Lingxuan, speaking in an even tone: "I heard that the notorious flower thief Grandmaster Hengshan has been lying in wait, seeking to harm Lingxuan, which is strange. Why haven’t we seen him recently?"

"Hmph, if he dares to show up, I won’t let him get away easily!" Wang Qingyi declared.

Beside her, Shen Lingxuan wore a light veil, obscuring her face but one could still feel her intensely cold and sharp aura.

She remembered that day outside the temple, the young man holding the Water Sword.

She was very curious about his identity.

Without achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, yet able to effortlessly slash a Peak Earth-Level.

Such strength was indeed terrifying.

"If he appears, I too will not let him go!" Zhou Xun quickly added.

"Alas." Wang Qingyi sighed, "Lingxuan... perhaps you should temporarily return to the Sect."

The Profound Yin constitution was too dominant. It was only because Shen Lingxuan had not yet reached Peak Earth-Level that other nations’ Sky Level veterans hadn’t made their move to seize her.

To fully utilize the Profound Yin constitution, Shen Lingxuan needed to be at least Earth-Level, preferably Peak Earth-Level.

Now, with Grandmaster Hengshan hiding somewhere and those Sky Level Army Commanders from Rakshasa Country and Central Land likely aware of Yesan Lake’s incident, what if they harbored covetous desires towards Shen Lingxuan?

Wang Qingyi harbored these concerns.

Shen Lingxuan’s gaze was calm, and she ultimately nodded, "Alright."

Within the Sect, with their leader and the other Earth-Level Army Commanders present, as well as the magical formations made up of Earth-Level magic artifacts, even Sky Level Army Commanders would find it difficult to take over.

Not to mention, her weaponry from her previous life was also within the Sect. Should a formidable enemy appear, she had some means to protect herself.
