Chapter 735 (1/2)
The flow of Saint Energy was not fast. However, even if it was just a tiny quiver, it still attracted a considerable amount of Atmospheric Energy. Zhou Weiqing could feel his cultivation was slowly improving. This process of improvement was to convert the Atmospheric Energy from outside into Saint Energy, which was then compressed into Saint Energy Galaxia.
It was a slow process but this continuous improvement was what most Heavenly Jewel Masters with a Nine Jewel cultivation base could only dream about.
Zhou Weiqing’s meditation took a whole day. When he finally woke from the meditation state, he had returned to his spirited self.
The room had already been cleaned, and there was even a new serving of food. Zhou Weiqing did not feign courtesy. He finished the food quickly and left a satchel of gold. He did not even bid the village girl goodbye. He went out the door, identified his direction, and leaped into the air while unleashing his Dragon-Tiger Transformation Wings before rushing toward the Mysterious Heavenly Palace as fast as he could.
This concerned Shangguan Bing’er’s life, how could he not be worried? In his mind, the Spatial Teleportation Stone was nothing compared to Shangguan Bing’er. Nothing could be more important than his Bing’er.
On the seventh floor, Mysterious Heavenly Castle, Mysterious Heavenly Palace.
The entire Mysterious Heavenly Palace management was seated. However, the atmosphere was currently pretty somber.
This time, Dongfang Hanyue sat on the main seat, while the previous Palace Master, her mother, a classy middle-aged lady, sat on the seat Dongfang Hanyue occupied when she pretended to be Meng Xing.
Dongfang Hanyue had just returned not long after she received the news.
On the day Zhou Weiqing fell into a coma, she had wanted to bring him back to the Mysterious Heavenly Palace before she suddenly received the news about Mysterious Heavenly Palace.
Her mother and several other Supreme Elders were back too. Not only that, they had restricted Shangguan Bing’er’s movement as soon as they had the chance of capturing her. This was why Zhou Weiqing was not able to communicate with Shangguan Bing’er after a while.
The Mysterious Heavenly Palace had something similar to a Sound Transmission Stone as well. Dongfang Hanyue’s mother, Dongfang, used it to determine everyone’s safety as well as informing her about the capture of Shangguan Bing’er.
Dongfang Hanyue was naturally impatient. She had asked her mother to release Shangguan Bing’er without success. Left with no other choice, she dared not bring Zhou Weiqing back directly, so she left him at the fishing village to take care of the issue herself. She did not know how the relationship between Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing’er was, but she was still Zhou Weiqing’s lover! If she was hurt in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, Zhou Weiqing would probably antagonize her immediately after. That was not what she wanted to happen.
In that sense, Zhou Weiqing’s guess was not right. He could not have guessed the complexity of the matter.
“Release Shangguan Bing’er immediately,” Dongfang Hanyue ordered without any hesitation.
Elder Water frowned, “Palace Master, please calm down. This is something we need to discuss in detail.”
Dongfang Hanyue said angrily, “What’s there to discuss? Let’s ignore Zhou Weiqing’s status as an Honorary Master of Mysterious Heavenly Palace. Shangguan Bing’er is still an Elder. Most importantly, it was Zhou Weiqing who saved all of us at a critical time when we fought the Dreadfiend Sea Naga. We shouldn’t treat him like this.”
Elder Water sighed and said, “That’s right. Zhou Weiqing saved us. However, Palace Master, did you consider one issue? Zhou Weiqing hid his true power from all of us without us even noticing. Is there not something wrong with that? Moreover, what’s that skill he used at that time? Even a Heavenly God-tier’s power was suppressed. It might not be an offensive skill, but it clearly illustrates how Zhou Weiqing has the power to threaten us.”
“How old is he? Early twenties, I suppose. Yet he already has a cultivation base of Nine Jewels, as well as that weird Heavenly Energy. Would you believe it even if it’s not suspicious? Furthermore, he doesn’t have the inheritance that you have. I am afraid he has an ulterior motive joining the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. It’s true that he had done us a great service. However, for the sake of our survival, I’ll like you to reconsider. We have to investigate thoroughly, so we should wait for Zhou Weiqing’s return. Shangguan Bing’er is our trump card, we did not mistreat her. Don’t worry.”
