“They’re just some ignorant religious followers — there’s no point in killing them. Since Wu Lan has already made a choice, we don’t have to waste more time here. Let’s go!” Yun Jiuge said. She looked at Wu Ya one more time, then turned around and left the building together with Zi Shang.

By the time Wu Ya brought people up to kill them, the room was already empty.

After Yun Jiuge walked out of the valley, she summoned A’dai, “Go to Empress Mountain.”

“Caw!” A’dai responded, sending them toward Empress Mountain.

Yun Jiuge sat cross-legged on A’dai’s back and turned her head back to ask Zi Shang, “Have you gotten that item yet?”

“What item?” Zi Shang replied, raising an eyebrow.

“Don’t act as if you don’t know. Didn’t you go out earlier to get Ling’er’s blood tear?” Yun Jiuge asked. Zi Shang was just being cocky.

“Hmph, I’ve gotten the blood tear that Ling’er shed for you and put it away,” Zi Shang replied and unwillingly took out a jade box. He hated all other people who competed with him for Yun Jiuge, even if they were women.

“Look at how jealous you are. I see her as a younger sister, that’s all,” Yun Jiuge said.

Although Yun Jiuge was unruly in her past life, she had never touched Yue Ling’er.

“That’s putting it nicely,” Zi Shang said. He didn’t want to seem petty.

But when he remembered how inseparable Yun Jiuge and Ling’er were in the past, he became sour.

“I can’t be bothered with you,” Yun Jiuge said, rolling her eyes at Zi Shang. She opened the jade box.

There was an incomparably beautiful, crystal clear blood tear which shone in the dimly lit room.

Yun Jiuge reached out to touch the blood tear, and pure Spiritual Power entered her body through her finger, making her feel inexplicably warm and comfortable.

Yun Jiuge felt her scalp tingling and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the blood tear suddenly pierced through her palm and disappeared.

“What’s going on?” Yun Jiuge asked and opened her palm. It was white as jade and didn’t even have a hole.

“She shed the blood tear because of you, so it naturally returns to you. Now that she’s already found where you are and is likely to come find you soon, I’ll go back to the Imprint now. Don’t call me unless it’s the last resort,” Zi Shang said. After he finished speaking, he turned into Demonic Light and went into the imprint on Yun Jiuge’s arm.

“Hey, you can’t just leave like this,” Yun Jiuge exclaimed as she squeezed the Imprint, but Zi Shang did not respond.

A soft white light suddenly arose from the Empress Mountain not far away, and a carpet of white silk threads flew from the Divine Temple straight to Yun Jiuge.

With sounds of celestial music and flower petals fluttering in the air, all the Miao people in the Divine Temple knelt down on the ground and shouted, “We welcome the Goddess!”

From the white carpet, Yun Jiuge smelled a familiar scent. It was Yue Ling’er’s unique fragrance.

The Ling Clan members grew up absorbing pure Spiritual Energy and naturally had a very special body fragrance. This was why Feifei and Black Dictator always wanted to follow her.

Yun Jiuge was about to step onto the carpet of light when beneath her feet, A’dai suddenly opened its beak and crazily sent a series of fireballs toward the carpet of light.

The beautiful carpet of light suddenly became sinister, opened its mouth wide to devour all of A’dai’s fireballs, and then aggressively tried to devour A’dai in return.

“Caw caw!” A’dai was not afraid. On the contrary, he looked as if he wanted to fight the white devouring silk threads to death.

Yun Jiuge quickly flicked away the white devouring silk threads.

In front of Yun Jiuge, the fierce white devouring silk threads became weak and dispersed to the side.

“Caw caw!” A’dai squinted its eyes and wanted to continue rushing forward.

Yun Jiuge quickly held down its head and shouted, “A’dai, what the hell are you doing? Why have you gone crazy?”

“Enemies! Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all,” A’dai’s mind transmitted frantically to Yun Jiuge.

Originally, there was a golden-gray ball of light within its head. Now, that ball of light shone even more brightly, almost going to explode.

“Calm down,” Yun Jiuge said. She took out the Lightning Fire Needle and pierced it into its acupuncture point, forcibly sealing its spirit.

A’dai’s eyes rolled back and it fell downwards.

Yun Jiuge quickly grabbed its huge body and stuffed it into the Spiritual Beast Bag, but Feifei and the other Spiritual Beasts were unhappy, saying, “It’s too fat and it takes up too much space.”

“Bear with it for a while. When we go back, I’ll find a larger bag,” Yun Jiuge said, appeasing Feifei while thinking about why A’dai went crazy.

This Golden Core Cultivation Level eagle was starting to be very mysterious.

Previously, when Yun Jiuge communicated with it, she found that it only had the ability to eat. This was the first time she saw such clear conviction forming in its mind.

Could it be that it had a grudge against the white devouring silk threads?

“Goddess, what are you thinking about?” A soft and sweet voice rang in Yun Jiuge’s ears.

She looked up and saw Yue Ling’er standing on a cloud made out of white silk, looking at her. She was still as beautiful and gentle as Yun Jiuge remembered, heroic yet lovely.

The only difference was that the former Ling’er was a human being, and now, Ling’er was just a soul who floated without her feet touching the ground.

“Ling’er, why have you come to receive me again?” Yun Jiuge asked. In the past, every time she returned, Yue Ling’er would definitely come out to receive her.

“Goddess, I’ve missed you,” Yue Ling’er said, smiling with a sigh. The white devouring silk under her feet turned into a long carpet that brought Yun Jiuge into the Divine Temple.

Standing in the white jade corridor, Yun Jiuge finally realized why she felt that the Divine Temple was slightly familiar. Wasn’t this the exact layout of her Celestial Palace?

Although it was a little simpler, there was still a large resemblance.

“Originally, I wanted to help you rebuild the Celestial Palace. But there are no good materials in this remote and desolate place. Even finding this white jade took a lot of effort,” Yue Ling’er said guiltily. She wasn’t able to offer the honorable Goddess the best possible place.

“That’s okay. If you’d really built the Celestial Palace, Elder Jade would cry in despair,” Yun Jiuge replied.

Elder Jade was one of the key builders of the Celestial Palace, and his greatest wish was to constantly improve the beauty of the Celestial Palace.

“Goddess must be joking. How can I possibly compare with Elder Jade,” Yue Ling’er said and smiled, her eyebrows creasing slightly. The atmosphere was warm, as if she had gone back in time.

“You…” Yun Jiuge trailed off. She really wanted to ask Yue Ling’er why she had killed herself, but she was afraid that this would antagonize her, so she turned away abruptly and continued, “My Golden Core Cultivation Level mount angrily attacked your white devouring silk threads just now. Do the both of you have a grudge?”

“You mean that fat, black eagle just now?” Yue Ling’er asked. She thought about it, summoned her white devouring silk and gray cursing silk threads, and finally shook her head saying, “Goddess, my white devouring silk and gray cursing threads have only been in this Empress Mountain and the Five Poison Sect. They’ve not devoured any black eagle demonic beasts before.”
