I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 670: Chapter 617: Vengeful as Yazi

Kunxi Divine Palace entrance.

With just a few words, Shen Mingjing persuaded Zhuge Ziyin, agreeing to help him break the restriction on the Divine Palace’s gate.

Xiong Yanhong kept watching, ostensibly nothing wrong with the words, merely enticing with benefits, making Zhuge Ziyin see the situation clearly to save his own life.

However, Xiong Yanhong was sure that during their conversation, Shen Mingjing and Zhuge Ziyin exchanged more through secret communication; no Demon Dao Cultivator is a good person, including himself.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Ziyin was stone-faced, and Shen Mingjing was watertight. Xiong Yanhong couldn’t discern any clues from their expressions or gazes, so he stayed alert, instructing the four Nascent Souls from the Xiong Family and Heavenly Star Sect to keep a close watch on them.

On this visit, there were also two Nascent Souls from the Fang Family. Counting him and Shen Mingjing, if everything went well, they could obtain eight treasures from inside the Divine Palace. Even Zhuge Ziyin could be spared temporarily, until after obtaining the treasures and then fighting for them and killing him.

But for some reason, Xiong Yanhong couldn’t reach the two from the Fang Family, and just the thought of acquiring two fewer treasures made Xiong Yanhong extremely irritated!

After Zhuge Ziyin nodded, Xiong Yanhong gave him half of the antidote to unlock the restriction on his Sea of Consciousness, allowing him to use his Divine Sense unobstructed. However, his Dantian Spiritual Energy was still sealed, and he couldn’t muster much strength.

Shen Mingjing wanted to assist Zhuge Ziyin to the Divine Palace’s gate, but Zhuge Ziyin coldly avoided his extended hand, and Shen Mingjing smiled, raising an eyebrow, nonchalant.

During the restriction breaking, Xiong Yanhong watched closely; it must be said that Shen Mingjing’s attainments in arrays and restrictions were indeed high.

Zhuge Ziyin also spared no effort. Under Shen Mingjing’s clear descriptions and accurate guidance, he gradually severed the connecting points of the complex restrictions on the gate, allowing sections of the restriction to lose efficacy without triggering the power of Xuanming True Water within.

When all the restrictions were lifted, Shen Mingjing gestured invitingly to Xiong Yanhong, who remained wary, standing still.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators beside him dared not move rashly, all waiting for Xiong Yanhong’s instructions.

”You still don’t believe me, do you? Then keep your eyes wide open.”

Shen Mingjing walked straight to the White Jade Gate, raised his hand without hesitation, and pressed it. Like dust being shaken off, the complex patterns on the White Jade Gate turned into powder and scattered with the wind. Shen Mingjing pushed hard with both hands.

Rumbling!

The Kunxi Divine Palace gate, closed for an unknown number of years, slowly opened. Xiong Yanhong’s eyes widened gradually, and the four Nascent Soul cultivators beside him exchanged excited glances.

Shen Mingjing stepped through the gate, and Xiong Yanhong shuddered.

But nothing happened. Shen Mingjing passed through smoothly, and Xiong Yanhong still stood at the entry, looking at Zhuge Ziyin.

”You go in too!”

Zhuge Ziyin clenched his fists, helplessly under control, he could only support himself with the White Jade Gate and slowly walk through the gap.

Once again, nothing happened. The two Nascent Soul cultivators from Heavenly Star Sect couldn’t hold themselves back any longer, fearing the good things would be snatched first, they rushed through the gap.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiong Family followed closely, and only then did Xiong Yanhong move.

As his lifted foot stepped into the gate, the previously calm air suddenly agitated, the entire Divine Palace trembled, and the two towering White Jade Gates beside Xiong Yanhong suddenly erupted with a force like a dam bursting.

Such power made Xiong Yanhong’s complexion change drastically, the extreme coldness of the force froze him in place, with frost rapidly covering his head and feet, freezing all fluids inside and outside his body, whether blood, flesh, or Spiritual Energy.

He seemed to see the two White Jade Gates turning into raging waves, their mighty, turbulent power crashing in from both sides.

Such a scene, enough to kill him instantly!

Xiong Yanhong was horrified and panic-stricken; inside the gate, Shen Mingjing leisurely crossed his arms, his lips curling into a faint ’appreciative’ smile.

Beside him, Zhuge Ziyin frowned, his Divine Sense transformed into invisible threads, connecting inside the gate.

Xiong Yanhong instantly understood that Shen Mingjing and Zhuge Ziyin had tampered with the gate’s restrictions. The restriction was too complex; even Xiong Yanhong couldn’t fully grasp it.

Everything happened too quickly, and the four Nascent Soul cultivators who had just rushed in had no time to react.

Xiong Yanhong couldn’t understand, even if the Divine Palace gate opened, the inside would still be fraught with danger. Attacking him now wouldn’t benefit Shen Mingjing at all.

What he didn’t know was that Shen Mingjing had always been ruthless, and anyone he disliked wouldn’t live long, just like the Divinity Transformation True Demons in the Heavenly Spear Realm who embarrassed him when he led the army at that time.

He and Jiang Yuebai were both vengeful!

The massive crisis left Xiong Yanhong with little time to think, he could only muster all his cards and power to resist with all his might.

Boom!

Roar!!

Black light, shaking the heavens, burst forth, transforming into a massive, majestic Black Armored Qilin that roared to the sky, colliding fiercely with the massive waves on both sides.

The terrifying impact echoed inside and outside the Divine Palace, and a force like a volcanic eruption directly swept Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi, who tried to approach the square, away.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuebai quickly spread space ripples, diverting the irresistible force elsewhere.

Behind them, the two rows of dragon, phoenix, and Qilin-carved giant pillars on the square were crushed into powder by the force that Jiang Yuebai redirected, exploding with a roar.

The aftermath split clouds and cracked the sky, dispersing the fog around the Divine Palace.

Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi clung to each other, using all defensive measures to resist the remains of the energy. The ground beneath their feet trembled endlessly, turning into transparent water that rippled with waves.

As the aftermath subsided, the two of them dashed toward the White Jade Gate.

In the whistling wind, Jiang Yuebai saw Xiong Yanhong, disheveled and skin cracked, spitting blood continuously, his body covered in frost.

Behind the door gap, Shen Mingjing stood on a water staircase, smiling like a spring breeze over ten miles, a smile more heartfelt than his usual polite one.

Sensing Jiang Yuebai’s gaze, Shen Mingjing lifted his charming peach blossom eyes, his lips moving.

”Fellow Daoist Wangshu, this great gift is for you!”

After speaking, Shen Mingjing raised his voice to the two bewildered Heavenly Star Sect Nascent Souls beside him, ”Now only I can lead you to Kunpeng’s Treasure. If you want the treasures, follow.”

At this moment, Shen Mingjing had none of his previous humility and kindness, he stood on the steps like someone who commanded everything, giving orders.

After speaking, he didn’t wait for the four to respond, turned around, and walked up the water staircase, soon disappearing into the thick clouds, speeding toward the palace at the highest point.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from Heavenly Star Sect looked at the seriously injured Xiong Yanhong, then glanced at each other, decisively following Shen Mingjing.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiong Family were still hesitating, who knew the severely injured Xiong Yanhong would forcefully support himself and shout at them in rage.

”Hurry and follow, retrieve the treasures for the Xiong Family, and kill that scoundrel for me!”

With his words, the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiong Family hesitated no more, quickly stepping onto the water staircase.

Xiong Yanhong glanced at Zhuge Ziyin, who was panting and sitting paralyzed on the ground, then caught sight of the furious Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi coming toward him. He slapped the ground, leveraging himself into the gate, landing at the bottom of the water staircase.

Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi followed closely, stepping inside the Divine Palace.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t expect things to develop this way. It wasn’t a divine coincidence, but Shen Mingjing knew she was going to deal with Xiong Yanhong, so he went with the flow, also removing a threat for himself.

At the same time, using Xiong Yanhong to hold back their steps, he could successfully obtain the treasures.

Up to this point, truly seeing through Shen Mingjing, Jiang Yuebai dared to confirm that the battle in the Heavenly Spear Realm was orchestrated by Shen Mingjing from behind the scenes.

He is not a Demon Cultivator, but a Demon!
