Chapter 2738: Chapter 5: Yin Lingzhu: It’s Truly Not Easy for Bao Sheng to Survive This Long_4

This Ji Kunlun, actually got into a fight with another noble son for the Dao Palace’s Ying Lingzhu?

And Ying Lingzhu is not unfamiliar to Bao Sheng, she is the sister of his newly acquainted good brother, Ying Yu’an.

”Judging from his past actions, this person is unruly and arrogant.” Wang Baosheng analyzed and pondered, ”According to my father’s teachings from childhood, young masters like him are most likely to do something crazy out of impulsiveness. Although their actions are often not thorough or steady, their unpredictability can sometimes pose a greater danger than mature and stable people!”

”His target is likely the business between the Divine Martial World and the Sacred Domain. If we refuse, based on the personality of Ji Kunlun as shown in the intelligence, he might become furious and strike even just to save face!”

”Father always said that attack is the best defense. If that’s the case, then thorough arrangements must be made, and absolutely no face should be lost for the Old Ancestor and father.”

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Baosheng had been beaten by Wang Fugui countless times. Although some inherent personality traits were still hard to change, his style of doing things had undergone a significant change unconsciously; at the very least, in terms of ”stability” and ”caution,” he had indeed learned Wang Shouzhe and Wang Fugui’s true teachings.

For three whole days, Wang Baosheng reviewed the intelligence on Ji Kunlun and the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace back and forth, studying every detail and made an incredibly meticulous intelligence analysis.

Relating to the current situation in the Divine Martial World, a plan gradually began to form in his mind.

He quickly wrote a letter home explaining the situation, informed his father and the Old Ancestor of his plan, and requested the family’s cooperation. At the same time, he also began to use his authority as the family’s heir to start deploying the plan step by step.

As the family’s heir, Wang Baosheng had already proven his ability over the past few hundred years. This time coming to the Sacred Domain, Wang Shouzhe naturally gave him great authority, allowing him to act at his discretion in special situations, and to mobilize all the Wang family’s energy in the Sacred Domain.

As orders were issued one after another, the Wang family’s forces in the Sacred Domain were quickly mobilized.

What a pity for Ji Kunlun, who had just casually sent a letter attempting to test the Wang family of the Divine Martial World and determine his next action based on their reaction. Little did he imagine, even in his wildest dreams, that Wang Baosheng was already plotting how to counterattack and eliminate the enemy before they even formed.

”Youping, please bring the Great Elder [Yidie·Saint·Stonehammer] to see me.”

After a busy few hours, Wang Baosheng also summoned Wang Youping and assigned him a task.

At the same time.

Tianxing Sacred Dynasty.

Main Residence of the Gui Family.

[Blue Mountain Courtyard].

The Blue Mountain Courtyard was situated above the core Formation Eye of the Gui Family’s Spirit Gathering Array in the main residence, where spiritual energy was abundant, and exotic spirit flowers and herbs were everywhere, making it one of the best courtyards in the Gui Family’s main residence.

This used to be the residence of a Great Luo Realm Old Ancestor of the Gui Family. After that Old Ancestor passed away, the courtyard returned to the family. Because of its extremely abundant spiritual energy, the training quiet room’s formation system was the highest specification in the family, mostly used for family members to close up when breaking through.

However, that was the past.

Recently, a Young Master from the Ji Family of the Divine Dynasty came to visit the Gui Family, and this Blue Mountain Courtyard was vacated specifically to entertain the Young Master Kunlun.

In order to make the Young Master Kunlun comfortable, the Gui Family also specifically dispatched several core family members and the head of household attendants to serve, ensuring that Young Master Kunlun felt at home. To avoid disturbing Young Master Kunlun, on regular days, even Gui family members could not visit without permission.

Of course, this did not apply to Gu Qiuqiu.

On this day.

Just as dawn broke, Gu Qiuqiu hurriedly knocked on the gate of the Blue Mountain Courtyard.

A moment later, he was welcomed into the side hall of the main courtyard.

As a Sacred Seed of the Gui Family, Gu Qiuqiu held a very high position within the Gui Family, often even more influential than the Family Head. His visit to the Blue Mountain Courtyard naturally resulted in attendants offering fragrant tea and fruit, serving him with utmost care and attention.

A little while later, receiving the message, Ji Kunlun, fully dressed, appeared in the side hall.

”You usually come around noon; what’s the occasion today?” Ji Kunlun looked at Gu Qiuqiu, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

”To report to the Young Master, Qiuqiu fortunately did not fail the mission and has already figured out Miss Ying’s whereabouts.” Upon his arrival, Gu Qiuqiu immediately stood up, saluted, and then detailed the information he had gathered one by one.

Although the Tianxing Gui Family was located in Tianxing, as a Sacred Race that had been around for innumerable millennia, they naturally had their own intelligence network in the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty.

Ying Lingzhu found Wu Hailong, although she disguised herself and concealed her identity, anyone with good eyes could see she was someone extraordinary. Given the mixed fish and dragons within the Hailong Gang, leaked information was not surprising at all.

Therefore, while it took some time to confirm the identity, the information officer in Tianrui quickly sent the intelligence back through a small transfer array to Gu Qiuqiu.

This small transfer array is specially used for message transmission, requiring the construction of an infrastructure dependent on the super space teleportation formation. The construction cost is high, and its use consumes quite a bit, as one top quality Spirit Stone can only activate it a few times; hence, it is not activated unless the intelligence is extremely important.

However, this time was for Ji Kunlun, so Gu Qiuqiu naturally spent generously, using the small transfer array for communication both ways without delay once the message was received.

”According to the current intelligence gathered, Miss Ying is likely to be setting out to sea soon, with the suspected destination being near the Endless Heavenly Abyss.” Gu Qiuqiu concluded.

”It’s actually the Endless Heavenly Abyss...” Ji Kunlun was evidently surprised at this, a gleam of seriousness in his eyes.

After contemplating for a while, he casually tossed an item to Gu Qiuqiu, saying lightly, ”You did well on this task, this is your reward.”

Gu Qiuqiu looked at what’s in his hand and saw it was an [Eleventh Grade Manifestation Sacred Pill], immediately feeling a great joy in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his thanks.

The production of this Eleventh Grade Manifestation Sacred Pill is scarce. Aside from top noble mansions like the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace having internal channels to acquire it easily, regions remote sacred races like theirs can only purchase it at auctions, competing with others.

Of course, most of the time they refrain from purchasing it, considering its preciousness, historically reserved only for family-inherited Sacred Seeds.

Gu Qiuqiu, for instance, had used one when he was young.

And recently, in the past few hundred years, Manifestation Sacred Pills became exceedingly harder to purchase, with auction prices rising several celestial spirits higher than before. Who thought he’d acquire one so easily now?

For a moment, his gaze toward Ji Kunlun became even more fervent.

Ji Kunlun, however, seemed indifferent, as if he had merely tossed a casual reward. He instructed faintly, ”Prepare yourself, I will personally make a trip to the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty.”

”Yes, Young Master.”

Gu Qiuqiu complied and quickly went to prepare.

Once Gu Qiuqiu left, Ji Kunlun dismissed the attendants and maids from the room as well, until he was left alone in the room.

At this moment.

A soft laugh suddenly came from behind the screen next to Ji Kunlun: ”Congratulations to Young Master Kunlun, your opportunity to fulfill your long-cherished wish is just before you.”

The soft laugh was accompanied by a graceful figure stepping out from behind the screen, coming to sit beside Ji Kunlun.

The figure was of an incredibly alluring form, with golden hair and green eyes, fair skin, and red lips, moving with elegance and grace.

A thin gauze dress draped over her body, revealing a pair of snow-white, slender arms adorned with a pair of gold bracelets intricately engraved with dense Buddhist patterns, gleaming with luster, and exuding an extraordinary aura.

The golden-red Jiaran Seal at the center of her brows further enhanced her sacred aura with a few enchanting, seductive charm, making people involuntarily lose their minds over her.

This woman was none other than the long-missing Fragrant Jade Holy Concubine!

However, at this moment, while the Fragrant Jade Holy Concubine retained her charm, there was a layer of gloom and sharpness in her eyes, adding a touch of danger.

Evidently, her previous failure had a profound impact on her, and she hadn’t been doing well over these years.
