Chapter 721 - 724: Tian Ting, God Sword!
Chapter 721: Chapter 724: Tian Ting, God Sword!
Inside the Qingye Sect, Ning Qingxuan’s boudoir.
As the head disciple, Ning Qingxuan had an extremely high status within the sect, and her room had the best location.
As the maid pushed open the door and walked in, she saw Ning Qingxuan standing by the window, sunlight falling on her hair, quiet as a painting, which left the maid somewhat dazed.
Xiaoya had followed Ning Qingxuan for many years, and had grown up with her since childhood, Xiaoya was also a witness to the current incident.
The young lady had lost her memory and forgot many things, but thankfully she still remembers herself.
“Xiaoya, is that you? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?”
“It’s me, Miss. You are daydreaming again.”
Ning Qingxuan turned back and looked at Xiaoya: “I feel like there’s a huge gap in my memory, but I can’t remember anything.”
“Miss, don’t be puzzled. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I know almost everything about you.”
“Then tell me, how did I lose my memory?”
“You already know about it, don’t you? You were deceived by a man named Lin Zhen, mistaking an evildoer for a good person, and as a result, he used you to confront the divine barrier during the Divine Punishment Star event. You lost your memories during the attack on the barrier, probably because you offended the deity.”
Liang Zhihuan and the others had already formulated these words, so they would fit seamlessly.
Because Ning Qingxuan might also inquire about some things in the Dimensional Universe, her involvement in pushing the planet to collide with the divine barrier was not a secret, and it was necessary to provide a reasonable explanation.
“Lin Zhen? Is that the same as Hua Hua Taisui?”
“That’s right, in fact, he even peeked at you taking a bath. You know about this incident, right? You can check it in the Dimensional Universe.”
Ning Qingxuan nodded slightly, she already found out about it.
“No matter how bad this person is, he dared to do such a thing even knowing you were the queen. Thankfully, His Majesty exposed his true face this time, or else who knows how many more people would be deceived by him.”
“Am I already a queen?”
“Yes, you and His Majesty are deeply in love. It’s all because of Lin Zhen that your relationship has been ruined!”
Hearing Xiaoya’s words, Ning Qingxuan felt a little strange. She didn’t remember marrying Liang Zhihuan, but she was sure that her body was still untouched. This meant that neither Liang Zhihuan nor Lin Zhen had ever obtained her.
“But Miss, don’t worry, Lin Zhen is done for. Our Master has already sent people to catch him!”
“My Master?”
“Yes, Master’s two younger sisters have taken action personally, and I believe they will catch Lin Zhen soon.”
Ning Qingxuan remembered these two people, her master Iron Granny had three sisters, with Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady being twins.
Both of these people were now Longevity Warriors, and their strength was exceptionally formidable.
Iron Second Lady had a Super Star River Beast, called Tian Ting, a canine Galaxy Beast that excelled at tracking.
Iron Third Lady, on the other hand, possessed a top-quality treasure sword called Sky-cutting.
This God Sword was of a higher level than most of the existing treasures, and any treasure with a lower level would be cut in half by it.
Therefore, there was little chance of winning a battle with Iron Third Lady because her weapon was superior.
Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady had been in closed-door cultivation for a thousand years, and it was unexpected that Iron Granny would actually bring her two younger sisters out. Lin Zhen might really be finished this time.
“Miss! Aren’t you happy? The one who harmed you is about to get his retribution. I just saw Second Lady and Third Lady leaving the mountain, and I guess there will be news of Lin Zhen’s capture and execution today!”
Ning Qingxuan’s mouth curled into a forced smile.
She should be happy, as her enemy was about to be eliminated.
But for some reason, she felt a slight pain in her chest and could not feel happy at all.
“Maybe it’s because of the sequelae of my amnesia.” Ning Qingxuan looked out of the window, her eyes lost in thought.
**********
“Hahaha! It’s truly an honor for me to have the help of the two immortals!”
Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady, facing the Emperor’s laughter, still had gloomy faces like they had just lost their mother, almost like they were carved from the same mold as Iron Granny.
“Your Majesty, less talk, these formalities are unnecessary, send us some support, we will find Lin Zhen’s whereabouts for you.”
“Alright! Shi Xiaomao, take a team of guards and follow the orders of the two immortals. No need to report anything to me, just follow their orders. Even if they ask you to die, you must not frown!”
“Understood!”
Shi Xiaomao led a hundred World Kings and followed Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady.
But he was disdainful in his heart, as they were just two old witches. They were disgusting to look at, and following them to catch Lin Zhen was far worse than following his father.
Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady didn’t bother greeting Liang Zhihuan and came to the palace courtyard.
Iron Second Lady raised her hand, and a monstrous dog, five meters long and 1.5 meters tall, appeared.
If this dog were shrunk ten times, it would look almost like a pet dog on Earth, fluffy and adorable, wagging its tail at Iron Second Lady the moment it appeared.
Some guards near Shi Xiaomao even laughed, expecting such a creature to catch Lin Zhen seemed unreliable.
Iron Second Lady’s knife-like eyes looked at the person who laughed: “What are you laughing at?”
The guard was shocked by Iron Second Lady’s gaze and immediately put on a serious face: “I just thought the dog was too adorable, I’m afraid…”.
Iron Second Lady pointed at the guard and said to Tian Ting, “Go! Eat him!”
The previously cute Tian Ting suddenly bristled and charged like a bolt of lightning. Sharp claws emerged from its round paws, even more terrifying than a knife!
The guard instinctively tried to block the attack, but only saw a flash before his body was sliced into several pieces by Tian Ting!
Tian Ting pounced, opened its big mouth, and chewed with a crunching sound, quickly devouring the entire guard!
This incident made everyone present break out in a cold sweat. They no longer looked down upon the round dog and the bloody scene in front of them.
Liang Zhihuan slightly frowned but did not say anything. It was just a guard, so his death was not a big deal.
“Alright, my little darling has had enough to eat. Let’s get to work. Find this person for me!”
Liang Zhihuan had already collected some of Lin Zhen’s genetic fragments and added them to the sketch placed in front of Tian Ting.
Tian Ting opened its mouth and swallowed the items containing even the smallest traces of Lin Zhen’s DNA.
These items included skin, blood, hair, and other things that Liang Zhihuan was able to collect with some effort.
After swallowing them, Tian Ting lay down and squinted its eyes, as if it had fallen asleep.
No guards dared to question Tian Ting’s abilities anymore, and they all waited quietly by its side.
About ten minutes later, Tian Ting opened its eyes, stood up, howled in the direction behind the palace, and then started to sprint towards the palace’s harem.
Seeing this, almost everyone was shocked. Could it be that Lin Zhen was actually hiding in the palace?
Liang Zhihuan’s face turned cold. Although he didn’t have any concubines in the harem, if Lin Zhen was truly hiding there without his knowledge, then that boy was really courageous.
“Follow him! Get a clear look!”
Tian Ting ran faster and faster, and Iron Second Lady, who was following it, turned around and said: “You all spread out and blockade the main roads. Don’t give Lin Zhen any chance to escape. You don’t need to join the fight, Iron Third Lady and I will handle it.”
Originally, Liang Zhihuan had called back Shi Zhonglie and the others in hopes that they could help. But upon hearing Iron Second Lady’s words, Shi Zhonglie and the others slowed down.
Alright, if you people of Qingye Sect are so arrogant, then we’ll let you take care of it. We’ll just watch.
The large group moved rapidly and soon arrived at a certain place.
Upon seeing this place, Liang Zhihuan’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. No wonder Lin Zhen could not be found everywhere. He had hidden here, making it impossible to search for him.
As everyone looked up, they felt a medicinal aroma coming from the building. This place was actually the Royal Medicine Repository!
Besides a few guards in the repository, there were only a few administrators. If Lin Zhen were to assume the identity of one of them and hide here, it would be a perfect hiding place.
Tian Ting stood in front of the repository, continuously howling, proving that Lin Zhen was inside.
“Go in! Search! Don’t miss a single corner!”
Liang Zhihuan forgot about Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady’s words and rushed in first. There were many valuable things here, and he had to check them out.
With a wave of her hand, Iron Third Lady seemed to draw a gray longsword from her spine.
As the sword emerged, those around couldn’t help but dodge, for the sinister aura from it was overwhelming. Even from far away, they could still feel the sword Qi prickling their skin.
Iron Second Lady held the Dragon-head Cane, leading Tian Ting, as the two old women gradually ascended the steps and entered the Royal Medicine Repository.
Liang Zhihuan ran the fastest, deeply worried about his medicine repository being looted.
Upon entering, the young eunuchs who were organizing the medicinal materials inside were stunned, not knowing who the grand procession was targeting.
“Long live your Majesty….”
“Shut up and everyone stand up!”
Liang Zhihuan raised his hand to stop the eunuchs from bowing and shouted: “Everyone, stand apart and help us catch the criminal Lin Zhen. Cooperate!”
The young eunuchs immediately scattered in a frenzy.
Seeing their disarray, the chief eunuch of the pharmacy came to help.
“You go and stand over there too. Right now, everyone is a suspect. Wait for the dog to come in and identify….”
Liang Zhihuan’s gaze turned towards the medicine cabinets in the distance. Many of them were already empty, angering him greatly.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll go right away.”
The chief eunuch not only didn’t move away, but he quickly approached Liang Zhihuan.
As a Longevity Master himself, Liang Zhihuan was extremely sensitive to danger. Seeing the chief eunuch approaching, he immediately felt a sense of alarm!
“Your Majesty, be careful!”
Shi Zhonglie, who was at the back, observed the scene closely, and noticed something was definitely wrong with the chief eunuch.
Iron Second Lady and Iron Third Lady charged simultaneously, trying to capture Lin Zhen before he could make a move!
Liang Zhihuan had already made the first move, or to be more precise, he and the chief eunuch, who was actually Lin Zhen in disguise, made their moves simultaneously.
Liang Zhihuan’s attack was a powerful Sword Qi.
Lin Zhen’s attack, on the other hand, was a huge planet that filled the entire space!
