Chapter 778 Murderous Intention

You Shen sensed the intimacy between himself and Su Bai in Lin Zhao's words, but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he mounted his bow and hurried on his way.

……

The Seven Star Palace, the Kaiyang Star Palace.

A tall, slender white figure fled in disarray through the spacious and magnificent hall, his black hair scattered, his golden dragon eyes deducing the palace's formation to its limit, fleeing relentlessly towards the Star Palace gate.

The black figure behind him appeared to be moving slowly, but the distance between him and the fleeing figure ahead, moving at an extremely fast speed, was getting closer and closer.

"Youli, do you think you can escape from my territory?" The black-clad figure saw through Youli's thoughts and sneered.

Youli, pale-faced, knelt down in front of the completely collapsed gate, vomited a mouthful of dragon blood, squinted weakly, turned around feebly, and looked up at the Seven Star Palace Master who was chasing after him.

As if knowing he was definitely not going to survive, Youli no longer spoke with his usual affected manner, but instead with a sense of resignation. He wiped the blood from his chest and said sarcastically, "Even if you kill me, your sister will not be able to come back to life."

The Palace Master of the Seven Star Palace reached out and gathered her silver hair that was flowing out of her black cloak, her red eyes hidden beneath the cloak.

“You are indeed a two-faced and utterly despicable person.” The Palace Master of the Seven Stars Palace reached out and pressed down on Youli’s head: “I don’t know why the gods chose you, and why Kaiyang Star also recognizes you.”

The Lord of Kaiyang Star, the Wuqu Star, only recognizes those who are brave, resolute, wise, and kind. But Youli, from head to toe, is either packaged as a weak and harmless scholar or is actually a two-faced villain. How can he be worthy of the name of the Lord of Kaiyang Star?
Youli's vision began to blur as the Seven Star Palace Master forcibly tore apart his Immortal King body and absorbed the power of the Seven Stars within him.

"How do I know Kaiyang Star will approve of me? Maybe it's a perk from your old rival?" Youli heard his last breath almost disappear.

“But Youwen, I’m not you. I won’t gamble everything on just one thing.” As soon as Youli finished speaking, the Seven Star Palace power that belonged to Youli and had been absorbed into the body by the Seven Star Palace Master exploded.

The body in front of him had also transformed into a dragon skeleton.

The collapsed gate of Kaiyang Star Palace, having lost the protection of the star lord, could no longer block the wind from outside the palace.

A gust of cold wind carrying the stench of blood swept down, causing the Seven Star Palace Master to withdraw his hand. He stared at the dragon bones before him, remaining silent for a long time.

I don't know if it's because no one has called my name in so long, or because I'm surprised that Youli knows my name.

Finally, he flicked his fingers, turning the dragon skeleton into ashes that were scattered in the cold wind carrying a strong smell of blood.

The cold wind brushed against his silver hair, bringing not only clarity but also a young woman with her long hair piled high.

The woman, riding a crane, saw him from afar and simply gave him a slight bow.

The Seven Star Palace Master turned and left. He wouldn't give any of the new Seven Star Palace Masters, including You Li, a kind look.

Ning Xian saw the other person turn and leave, and shook her head at the boy who had caught up behind.

"Oh dear, I never expected that our Kaiyang Star Lord would die before the Tian Shu Star Lord arrived."

A young man with a gourd of wine tucked at his waist strode over and said with a smile.

Ning Xian raised an eyebrow: "You think You Li is dead?"

Zhang Hexuan took off his wine gourd, took a swig of wine, and said, "Hehe, that guy is cunning and scheming. Who knows if he's dead or not? All I know is that the Seven Star Palace is fun."

Ning Xian didn't refute, and glanced at the collapsed gate of Kaiyang Star Palace: "Let's go, Lin Zhao probably won't be able to come for a while."

Zhang Hexuan asked, puzzled, "How did you know?"

Ning Xian raised a compass filled with starlight in her hand: "It was calculated."

"Oh? What else did this compass calculate? Can it calculate my future spouse? Will my spouse be good-looking? I'm not picky, any girl from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan or Ancient Dragon Clan will do, or even the White Tiger Clan will do."

Ning Xian asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were focused on cultivating the Dao?" "Dual cultivation is also a form of cultivation. Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and desires ascend. Who says these things have to conflict? As long as they don't prevent us from reaching the highest position."

"You see things very clearly; be careful, this could be a disaster."

"Tsk, talking to you is so boring. Fine, I'll go talk to Shui You instead. He's nice to talk to and he even gave me some Immortal Stones."

……

Lin Zhao stared blankly at the beautifully constructed courtyard in front of him for a moment before realizing that this was indeed a prison cell.

Are all prisoners in the upper realm of this standard?

You Shen said, "They can't leave their own courtyard. There is no immortal energy or spiritual energy inside the courtyard. There are formations that restrict the immortal energy on their bodies. They can only live in the way of mortals and wear down their lifespan."

Lin Zhao: "..." No wonder all the courtyards we've been passing through are dilapidated; this is the best-looking one.

"Thinking about it, Qu Shu's father was quite a hardworking man," Lin Zhao remarked, then asked, "Are you sure this is Qu Shu's father's place?"

"I've asked a few mythical beasts, and there's no problem. Qu Shu's father's true form should be a crane."

Lin Zhao immediately pictured the ethereal crane in his mind. No wonder Qu Shu had such a graceful demeanor; it turned out to be a result of hereditary inheritance.

"But when he was captured, his cultivation level was not high; he was just a high immortal."

This level of cultivation is actually quite good for a celestial beast, but for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan...

Even the now dilapidated Heavenly Phoenix Clan cannot accept their young master being with a Celestial Beast of the Upper Immortal level.

Lin Zhao shook his head and asked, "Will our immortal energy be restricted if we go in?"

"No, this formation only works on divine beasts that have consumed the Soul-Locking Pill."

Lin Zhao was relieved and knocked on the door. After a while, footsteps came from inside the courtyard, and Lin Zhao soon saw a young man with silver eyes and black hair appear in his field of vision.

He was dressed in a gray long robe, with a refined and otherworldly demeanor. His appearance vaguely resembled Qu Shu's, but he was not as exquisite and impeccable as Qu Shu in every detail.

But it is precisely these imperfect details that diminish his otherworldly aura and give him a sense of real existence.

"Who are you two?"

When Lin Zhao didn't know how to introduce herself, You Shen spoke up directly: "I am You Shen of the Ancient Dragon Clan. This is Lin Zhao. She used to be your son Qu Shu's fiancée. Now the engagement is dissolved. She has a deal with Qu Shu. She will take you away from here."

Lin Zhao: "..." Although what she said was perfectly correct, she didn't need to let her elders know about her past relationship with Qu Shu.

The young man looked at Lin Zhao. His eyes held a calm composure that seemed somewhat out of place with his youthful appearance, but it was understandable. With a son as old as Qu Shu, it would be absurd for the father to still be a young man.

"Xiao Shu's sweetheart and the adults of the Ancient Dragon Clan?"

I don't know what he was thinking, but in the end he opened the door with a calm expression: "Please come in, both of you. My humble abode is simple, I hope you won't find it offensive."
