Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 543: Chapter 361: Mind Relic

”Prepare a Floating Ship. You’ll accompany me to White Bone Mountain...”

In Eggshell City’s Eco-Castle, Jelena was contacting Pei Xue with a Sound Transmission Grass.

Standing beside her was Wang Pingyi.

Wang Pingyi had already relayed Wang Yi’s orders to Jelena: to keep an eye on the Chaos Era’s Piano Demon Xia Qinglin and Ancestral Master Miaoshan Sun Miaoshan, who had been resurrected in the Burial Ground.

”Xia Qinglin has already left the Bone Spirit Territory and is heading to Eggshell City alone. That Sun Miaoshan fellow is still on White Bone Mountain. He seems to be getting along quite well with Wang Zhenmo; the two are having a great time talking. You can ignore him for now...”

Wang Pingyi said nonchalantly.

Jelena shot Wang Pingyi a look and said, ”You’re my father’s clone, which makes you my elder. Why can’t you help me out a little? Can’t you just teleport me directly to White Bone Mountain, or bring those two directly to Eggshell City? Wouldn’t that be as easy as flipping a hand for you?”

”No, no, you have to go there yourself!”

Wang Pingyi quickly waved his hands. ”This Royal Court territory has three levels, upper and lower. I can go anywhere, but I just don’t want to go to White Bone Mountain. It has the White Bone Array, which keeps the living out. I don’t feel comfortable there. Besides, I’m busy right now!”

”Busy with what?”

”I have an appointment with King Grand Grade to get a ’full-body massage’ at the massage parlor. Tsk tsk, it’s already time! I’m off!”

After he spoke, Wang Pingyi gave a wave, and his figure vanished into thin air. He had obviously used his teleportation ability to go somewhere unknown.

’Sigh. As a Divine Body, he should be focusing on his Cultivation, but instead, he’s off getting a ’full-body massage’. And if he were going by himself it’d be one thing, but he’s dragging other Divine Bodies along with him. If this keeps up, isn’t he going to corrupt everyone? If I get the chance, I’m definitely telling Father about this!’

Jelena grumbled to herself.

She was one of the few people in the entire territory who knew about the existence of the Divine Bodies. People like Wang Bushi, Nangong Jin, and Li Longyu also knew about them, but not in as much detail as Jelena.

A moment later, accompanied by Secretary-General Pei Xue, Jelena boarded the Floating Ship and headed for White Bone Mountain.

Jelena took Wang Yi’s instructions very seriously. She knew that the Chaos Era’s Piano Demon Xia Qinglin and Ancestral Master Miaoshan Sun Miaoshan were no ordinary people; otherwise, her father would not have told her to pay them special attention.

”City Lord, what are your plans for those two?”

Pei Xue asked Jelena. She was Jelena’s right-hand woman, in charge of the Secretariat, and was serious and responsible in her work. Aside from her lack of personal strength, she was a very competent Secretary-General.

Jelena said, ”According to my father, they were resurrected as Sufferers. Sufferers have experienced life and death and endured great hardships, making them the most difficult to predict. If they are capable and have good character, they will naturally be pillars of the territory. I will spare no effort to help them recover their strength. It would be no problem to support them like esteemed retainers in the future, or even send them to the military to become high-level combatants. However...”

After a brief pause, Jelena continued, ”However, if they are not the good sort, I will take certain measures to restrain them for the safety of the territory, such as sending them to the Eco-Celestial Prison.”

”Understood.” Pei Xue nodded. ”But since the Lord himself asked us to watch over them, they must be good people, right?”

Jelena said, ”My father handles the big picture, while we need to worry about the minor details. In short, it’s never wrong to be cautious.”

”Yes!”

Pei Xue responded respectfully, then proceeded to ask Jelena for instructions on several other matters, mostly concerning the territory’s development.

Now that the Hundred Battle Royal Court had willingly become a subordinate, their engineering teams had begun to arrive, and many infrastructure projects were about to begin. It was a busy time.

The Floating Ship flew leisurely westward, stopping after about an hour.

Jelena looked down and saw a man in a thin robe walking alone.

He was frowning, his head bowed as he walked, and he seemed somewhat distracted, lost in thought.

This was none other than the Chaos Piano Demon Xia Qinglin. He was currently only First Rank with a Mortal Physique, unable to use many of his skills.

’Found one!’

Jelena rejoiced inwardly and steered the Floating Ship closer.

When Xia Qinglin noticed a small ship floating toward him, Pei Xue called out in a clear voice, ”Are you the Chaos Piano Demon, Xia Qinglin?”

Xia Qinglin cupped his hands and said, ”I am. And you are...?”

Pei Xue said, ”We are from Eggshell City. We came specifically to escort you to the city!”

”Eggshell City?” Xia Qinglin nodded. ”Thank you, thank you very much!”

Soon, Xia Qinglin boarded the Floating Ship. He was very polite but quiet and not one for words. Now that he was resurrected, he even seemed a little shy.

”Let’s take you back to Eggshell City first!” Jelena didn’t reveal her identity. ”We’ll arrange for you to go to the First Dining Hall to eat and rest. How about working at the First Dining Hall for a while after that?”

”I can do that!”

Xia Qinglin replied with a respectful cupping of his hands.

”Right, you also have a personal Ancient Zither stored in the warehouse. I’ll have someone send it to you later!”

”My Zither? The Chaos Demon Zither?” Xia Qinglin seemed to recall something. He looked up, sighed, and said, ”You don’t have to give it to me yet. The past is past. If possible, I’d rather not use that Zither again.”

”Oh? Why is that?”

”To be resurrected is to be reborn. I don’t want to go through chaotic times again. It would be best to live a simple and peaceful life!”

”Alright...”

Jelena studied Xia Qinglin carefully, feeling that his character was probably decent.

A moment later, the Floating Ship arrived at Eggshell City.

Xia Qinglin’s eyes were wide the entire way. Upon entering Eggshell City’s territory, he was greeted by one magnificent sight after another. Here, vines grew to tower into the clouds, giant trees reached for the heavens, and flowers were as large as castles. There were countless strange and exotic plants, and even a Starlight River that formed an arch bridge across the sky.
