Chapter 426: Chapter 423: Mysterious Pearl

Chu Zhiyuan took another look in the direction of Eagle Beak Cliff, then turned and left: ”Shall we meet at Tianshui Pavilion tomorrow morning?”

”Alright,” Meng Canglan said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”This time, it will all depend on your sect. Rest assured, the Court won’t let your efforts go unrewarded.”

Meng Canglan laughed: ”That couldn’t be better.”

Helping is helping; the reward is the reward.

The Wuyou Sect can assist Chu Zhiyuan, but they cannot exert their strength for nothing.

If it starts this way, it must always be so, or it becomes troublesome.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced again at the two rapidly shrinking corpses of the Great Grandmasters.

Their corpses were undergoing strange changes, like ice being baked by flames.

Chu Zhiyuan was unsurprised.

After experts from the Evil Sect die, this is almost always the case.

This is caused by the corrosion of the Outer Heaven Power.

As they die, the Outer Heaven Power goes uncontrolled, rapidly corroding their corpses.

Eventually, only the skeletal remains remain, and what can persist is the treasure, while all else vanishes.

He was waiting to see what would remain of the two.

The last time, he gained many good items from Zhang Youling; what about these two?

Meng Canglan and others also kept their gaze on the two corpses, unperturbed by their changes.

After another moment of tea time, all flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only white bones, with a small box beside them.

The small box was as black as ink.

Chu Zhiyuan snapped a tree branch, gently picking up the small box, not even using the Flying Knife or sword.

To avoid being contaminated with unclean things.

Looking at this small box, he felt a vague discomfort, yet not a dangerous feeling.

Meng Canglan said, ”The things of Evil Sect villains are definitely not good things.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”Miss Meng’s words are reasonable... perhaps we should destroy it outright.”

Meng Canglan said, ”Not examining it before destroying?”

She saw Chu Zhiyuan waiting all along, clearly wanting to see if there were any good items.

The things these two Great Grandmasters carried nearly all vanished with their body’s flesh and blood.

Including clothing, silver, weapons, etc., showing the strength of this power.

What can remain must be extraordinary.

This saves the effort compared to identifying everything one by one after spreading it all out.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”It doesn’t feel right, let’s just destroy it.”

Meng Canglan, however, was extremely curious about what exactly the two Great Grandmasters carried.

Zhou Zhijia saw her intention and quickly said, ”Let me open it.”

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Meng Canglan gently shook her head: ”Brother Zhou, let’s wait a bit.”

Chu Zhiyuan gestured with his hand, and three small stones from the ground flew into his hand.

He extended four fingers, clamping the three small stones, and gently flicked them.

The three small stones formed a triangle, simultaneously striking the three sides of the small box.

”Snap!” The small box opened.

Inside was a large orb, about the size of a baby’s fist.

It was flickering with pink light, pulsing as if breathing.

”Oh——”

Zhou Zhijia emitted a strange sound, as if enjoying it immensely and involuntarily.

Meng Canglan placed her fingers lightly on her forehead, immediately clearing her mind and regaining clarity.

She touched Zhou Zhijia’s forehead with her fingers.

Zhou Zhijia was instantly jolted, as if doused with a basin of icy water.

The intoxicated look in his eyes instantly vanished, his eyes wide open, coming to his senses.

Embarrassed, he avoided looking at Meng Canglan.

Chu Zhiyuan observed his change clearly.

He knew Zhou Zhijia had just had a dream, a spring dream, and the object of that dream was Meng Canglan.

As the Holy Daughter, Meng Canglan was naturally the perfect goddess in the minds of many male disciples of the Wuyou Sect, their dream lover.

He had no time to mind Zhou Zhijia, his eyes fixed on the giant orb.

To his eyes, this giant orb was diffusing circle after circle of red light.

The red glow rippled like the surface of a lake, spreading outward endlessly.

After the red light spread, it became faint, and the influence was not as great.

The farther away, the lesser the influence.

But in special environments like a valley, the spread red light did not reach far, being blocked instead.

When red light was blocked by valley walls, it accumulated to have a massive final impact.

This is true of a valley; in an enclosed room, it would be the same.

Enough to confound one’s mind, trapping them in an inescapable dream.

He immediately understood why they were able to succeed in the sacrifice.

No wonder he felt uncomfortable, yet sensed no danger.

Meng Canglan stared at the orb intently, her expression serious: ”Princely Heir, is this the main culprit?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”It confounds the mind, paired with the Heavenly Heart Sect’s mental method... I fear there might be more than just one of these orbs.”

Meng Canglan shook her head.

This was her first time encountering such an orb; she hadn’t heard of them before.

If such orbs were out there, falling into Evil Sect hands, they would cause endless calamity.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Huang Cheng and the other three Great Grandmasters: ”Imperial Envoy Huang...”

”Never seen it,” Huang Cheng shook his head.

Tao Haoran and the other two also shook their heads.

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

They, being Great Grandmasters, were knowledgeable, and if they hadn’t seen or heard of such a thing, it meant it was indeed rare.

Most likely there was only this one.

He pondered, closed his eyes, using his Super Sense to gain Insight into the orb.

Layer by layer of Insight penetrated, breaking through invisible power obstacles.

After reaching Perfection in the Spirit Transformation Realm, his Super Sense’s Insight ability greatly increased. Where spiritual power was once scattered, now it could penetrate like iron or a sword.

Within the Insight, the orb’s interior revealed strange patterns.

Suddenly sensing something wrong, his spiritual power rapidly retreated.

Super Sense retracted in an instant.

Suddenly, the orb flared in red light.

Zhou Zhijia’s eyes went blurry again, his hand grasping his knife hilt.

A light suddenly shone between the breasts of Meng Canglan.

”Hey!”

Huang Cheng and the other three exhaled forcefully, bodies leaning back, as if struck by an invisible force.

Chu Zhiyuan operated the Dragon Transformation Technique, shouted, ”Ho!”

The sound of a dragon’s roar seemed to echo across heaven and earth.

Already drawing his knife out, Zhou Zhijia, ready to pierce his heart, instantly awoke.

He looked down at his right hand, then at the knife’s glinting blade tip, breaking out in a cold sweat.

A moment later, and that knife would have plunged into his heart!

Meng Canglan solemnly looked at the orb, then at Zhou Zhijia: ”Brother Zhou, are you alright?”

Zhou Zhijia shook his head, forcing an awkward smile.

Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze remained on the orb.

The orb had stopped flickering; the invisible power was dissipating.

He focused again, gaining Insight.

The barriers within the orb were dissipating, the strange core pattern had vanished.

It was empty now, the power quickly fading away.

This orb was now useless.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t hurry to leave, still observing with Insight, watching its internal power collapsing layer by layer.

He realized the collapse process was the reversal of its formation.

The collapse was from inside out; thus, its formation was from outside in.

Layer by layer of power eventually condensed into that strange pattern.

This power didn’t seem to be Outer Heaven Power after all.

Which means this orb was crafted, not naturally formed.

That implies there could be more of such orbs out there!

This Heavenly Heart Sect must be eradicated.

And the Evil Sect expert capable of crafting this orb must be swiftly eliminated, or the harm will be endless.
