Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 384 Che Laoyao
In the middle of the valley, there are three large halls built of white jade, occupying almost one-third of the valley.

These three white jade palaces, except for their different sizes, are exactly the same in style as the Xutian Palace in the Chaos Star Sea.

It is also made of flawless white jade, extremely exquisite and gorgeous, emitting a faint fluorescence.

However, compared to the Xutian Palace, the size of these three palaces is only half the size of the Xutian Palace.

"The Ice Soul Fairy who founded Beiye Xiaoji Palace is truly a cultivator with great supernatural powers." Seeing this, Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but sigh out loud.

"Of course. In fact, our Patriarch Bingpo was also a famous figure in ancient times. He could be called invincible in the world. Even the late-stage Jindan cultivators who are nowhere to be seen today are far from being the opponents of Patriarch Bingpo." Bai Yaoyi looked at the three halls in front of her with a proud tone as she revealed the secret.

"Yeah." Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly.

Whether it is the Xutian Palace in the Chaos Star Sea, the three Xuling Palaces in front of him, or the Hanli Secret Realm, none of them can be refined by ordinary godsend cultivators.

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan had been looking at the Xu Ling Palace and seemed to be very interested in it, Bai Yaoyi did not say anything else and just stood there quietly.

But after a while, Nie Zhaonan's expression changed and he looked towards one side of the valley.

"It's Great Elder Hanli and Palace Master Liu." Feeling the approaching aura, Bai Yaoyi spoke at the right time and explained softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of light flew in front of Nie Zhaonan, and his figure appeared in a flash of spiritual light.

An old three-foot-tall dwarf and an elegant middle-aged beauty.

"Hello, Senior Nie!" The two of them bowed in unison.

Although when they talked about Nie Zhaonan in private, they always called him by his name.

But now that they were in front of Nie Zhaonan, they naturally did not dare to offend Nie Zhaonan. Of course, they acted like juniors and were extremely respectful.

"Fellow Daoist Hanli, Fellow Daoist Liu." Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly and said politely:

"Both of you have cultivated your magical powers to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. It seems that there is great hope for you to advance to the Spiritualization stage."

As expected of the Grand Elder and Palace Master of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, both of them are much stronger than the average late Nascent Soul cultivators, and are on par with Xuan Qingzi.

"The level of cultivation of two juniors is not worth mentioning in front of you, senior." Master Hanli was unusually polite, but he had a bitter smile in his heart.

As far as he knew, Nie Zhaonan in front of him was less than three or four hundred years old, while he was nearly a thousand years old. However, their seniority was completely reversed, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Senior, you have been looking at the Xu Ling Palace before. Could it be that you are interested in this palace?" Palace Master Liu asked with a smile, with a hint of temptation in his eyes.

Nie Zhaonan chuckled, his voice neither hurried nor slow:

"It seems that the two Taoist friends have guessed Nie's intention. If so, there is nothing to hide."

"Yes, I came here for the space node in the Void Spirit Palace."

With his current status, he was too lazy to continue to flatter Master Hanli and Palace Master Liu. Even if he explained his purpose directly, would these two have the courage to say no?

"Okay, Senior Nie, please speak quickly." Master Hanli was startled, and then said without disguising:
"Then I won't hide my conditions. As long as Senior Nie helps my Beiye Xiaoji Palace to kill the old monster Che in Wan Yao Valley as a deterrent, the space node will naturally be at your disposal."

Nie Zhaonan smiled and glanced at Master Hanli indifferently.

It sounds good to allow the use of space nodes as he pleases, but he only needs to borrow the space nodes once, how can he use them multiple times? And where does the meaning of allowing him to do so come from?

However, Nie Zhaonan was not an unreasonable person. At the moment, he still needed help from Xiaoji Palace, so he did not seem angry. He just sneered and said:
"Does Fellow Daoist Hanli think that a Divine Transformation cultivator is made of mud? Can you kill him just like that?"

"I am not bragging. Apart from me, who else among the few old fellows left in Dajin really has the strength to kill other Divine Transformation cultivators? Even if I take action, it will cost me a huge price."

"Besides, I am not a killer. I don't have the habit of being hired by others, and I won't attack Che Laoyao for no reason."

Although strength is respected in the world of immortal cultivation and whoever is stronger holds the truth, it is still very important to maintain a good reputation.

After hearing Nie Zhaonan's words, Master Hanli, who had just said it casually, did not show too much disappointment, as if he had already known that Nie Zhaonan would not agree.

"Since senior is indeed coming here for the space node, some conditions should be prepared in advance." Palace Master Liu blinked, looked at Nie Zhaonan, and asked curiously.

Nie Zhaonan's gaze fell on the Void Spirit Hall, and he said in a leisurely voice:

"I'll give you two choices."

"First, Nie will take out tens of millions of spirit stones. This amount of spirit stones is enough to pay for borrowing the space node of your palace."

"Secondly, I can come forward and negotiate with Che Laoyao to make him give up attacking Xiaoji Palace. And I can lead many Divine Transformation cultivators to jointly protect the space node. Of course, this space node still belongs to you, and you can even charge corresponding compensation to the cultivators who use the space node."

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that this time, Old Demon Che's attack on the palace is different from the past. He is also here for the space node. Just in case, he also joined forces with Brother Bingfeng from the Ice Sea."

"Fellow Daoist Bingfeng has just advanced to the Spiritualization Stage. He has plenty of life left, so he will definitely not hesitate to use his full strength. I just don't know if you can stop a Bingfeng in the Spiritualization Stage."

After stating his choice, Nie Zhaonan also made a few blatant threats.

Bai Yaoyi felt a chill in her heart as she listened. With the Ice Phoenix in the Spirit Transformation Stage here, even if they hid in the Void Spirit Palace, they would not be able to escape like before.

"If we choose the first one, will Senior Nie take action after Old Demon Che and Bing Feng break into the Xu Ling Palace?" Master Hanli said in a very uncertain tone.

"My target is only the space node. As long as they don't hinder me, I will naturally not fight with them." Nie Zhaonan did not hide anything, and there was no intention of helping in his words. "If that's the case, then what other options do we have? Without Senior Nie's help, how can the monks of Beiye Xiaoji Palace resist the monsters? We can only agree to the second option proposed by Senior." Palace Master Liu suddenly realized and became unusually calm again.

“This may not be a bad choice. Whenever there are cultivators who want to sneak into the upper realm in the future, who would not think of your Beiye Xiaoji Palace? If you guard this space node well, your Beiye Xiaoji Palace may be able to survive forever.” Nie Zhaonan could not deny it and said calmly.

After hearing this, Master Hanli and Palace Master Liu looked at each other and burst into laughter.

This is indeed possible, but it is not an easy task. After all, the cultivators who need to use the space nodes are all old monsters in the God Transformation Stage, and they are really not something that the Beiye Xiaoji Palace can control.

If they encounter a hot-tempered Divine Transformation cultivator, it is possible that he will directly destroy their Xiaoji Palace.

Thinking of this, Master Hanli and Palace Master Liu bowed together.

"Please, Senior Nie, take care of this for a while."

"Don't worry, I will discuss it with my fellow Taoists and will definitely not cause you any trouble." Nie Zhaonan naturally understood their concerns and replied in a leisurely voice.

"I believe that seniors are also eager to see the space nodes in the Xu Ling Palace. I will summon the elders in the palace now. If we want to enter the Xu Ling Palace, we must get their help." Palace Master Liu tilted his head, looked at Nie Zhaonan, and smiled slightly.

As she spoke, more than ten streams of light shot out from her sleeves and flew in all directions of the valley. These sound transmission notes were obviously going to inform the elders she mentioned.

Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly, naturally showing no sign of disagreement.

Although according to the rules set by the ancestors, the Xu Ling Palace can only be opened when the Xiaoji Palace is on the verge of a disaster and unable to repel the enemy, the current situation is obviously not in line with it. But neither Master Hanli nor Bai Yaoyi said a word, and there was no objection.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of miles away from the Ice City, a large group of high-level demon cultivators had just arrived at the same location and landed on a small iceberg.

This group of demon cultivators were obviously divided into two groups. One group had only a dozen or so people, surrounding an old man and a young child, one tall and one short. The other group had more than twenty people, surrounding a slender woman in silver clothes.

The woman in silver shirt is naturally Bing Feng.

As for the old man, he was dressed in a black robe, with a square and dignified face, sparkling eyes, and a head of gray hair with a faint green glow, giving people a feeling of majesty without even being angry. This man was none other than the deputy valley master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, the Green-backed Old Wolf.

The child who seemed to be only six or seven years old had delicate features, like a fairy from heaven, but his eyes were slightly red, as if there was a layer of blood covering his pupils. The strange thing was that there was always a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

This strange boy is naturally the incarnation of the old demon Che, the master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.

"Strange, strange. According to the experience of attacking Beiye Xiaoji Palace in the past, at this time, Beiye Xiaoji Palace should release the cold air accumulated in Beiming Island for thousands of years to maximize the killing of our high-level monsters. Why is there no movement at all now? It seems that all the manpower has retreated to the core area. There is no intention of taking action at all. I don't know what evil ideas they are up to. However, no matter how they plan, with Fairy Feng taking action, they will only be destroyed this time." The old man in the black robe was extremely confident and said with a grin.

Bing Yuan, who was standing by, heard this. Although her expression was calm and there was nothing unusual about it, she had already started to mutter in her heart:

"Destroy Xiaoji Palace? That pervert Nie Zhaonan has even entered Beiye Xiaoji Palace."

"Beiye Xiaoji Palace probably feels extremely safe because Nie Zhaonan is in charge, so there is no resistance."

"Although our overall strength is not weak, and we have a master who has advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, it would be effortless for us to destroy most of the sects in Dajin. However, our master is in the same group as Nie Zhaonan."

Thinking of this, she recalled that Nie Zhaonan returned with his master and called him by some intimate terms, and she felt uncomfortable.

Bing Yuan had a feeling that her master seemed to like Nie Zhaonan, otherwise he wouldn't have called him "Brother Nie" so smoothly, as if he had called him that a thousand times.

“Maybe the cultivators from Xiaoji Palace knew the real purpose of our trip. We didn’t come here for the cold marrow, but because of the space node.” Bingfeng’s expression changed and he replied in a cold voice.

"What does Fairy Feng know?" The child incarnation of Old Demon Che also spoke, but the words he uttered were extremely old, as if he were speaking from a seventy-year-old man.

"Nie Zhaonan is in Beiye Xiaoji Palace." Bing Feng turned her gaze to the boy and said calmly.

The old man in the black robe had a deeply wrinkled face, which looked as ugly as ravines.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years as the deputy master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, and having often come into contact with Che Laoyao who had the cultivation base of a God Transformation cultivator, he knew very well how powerful the God Transformation cultivators were. Even though he had the cultivation base of level ten and was only one step away from the God Transformation stage, this step was like a chasm between us.

If Che Laoyao wanted to kill him, it wouldn't take much effort at all.

However, Nie Zhaonan is a terrifying existence who can cross a large realm and kill a Divine Transformation cultivator. Not only him, but also Che Laoyao, who talked about this person not long ago, had deep fear in his words.

“I have heard from Deputy Valley Master Corpse Bear that the fairy in Kunwu Mountain has a close relationship with Nie Zhaonan. Were you the one who told him about the space node?” The child narrowed his bloodshot eyes and spoke in a grim tone.

"Friend Dao, you guessed wrong. Since you and I have already agreed, it is impossible for me to tell other people about the space node. I also don't know where Nie Zhaonan knew about this." Bing Feng said in a calm and neutral manner.

"Hehehe, I still believe what Fellow Daoist Feng said. Maybe Demon Concubine Linglong told him when she returned to the spirit world." The boy laughed strangely and thought of this possibility.

Bingfeng naturally knew that it was not as the boy guessed. Nie Zhaonan seemed to have known it a long time ago, but she had no intention of correcting him and remained silent.

"With Nie Zhaonan here, won't we be unable to achieve our goal on this trip?" The old man in the black robe lowered his voice. Nie Zhaonan was an existence that could kill a Divine Transformation cultivator. People like them were no match for him.

"Old Wolf, you are wrong." The boy shook his head repeatedly, not caring about the old man's worries.

"What do you think, Valley Master?" the old man in the black robe asked the boy in a low voice.

The boy shook his head, his voice still old:
"It's not hard to guess. What else could Brother Nie have gone to Beiye Xiaoji Palace for? He came for the space node just like us. Originally, this Valley Master was a little worried that the monks of Xiaoji Palace would destroy the space node out of desperation. Now, with Brother Nie here, this possibility naturally does not exist."

"Don't you agree, Fellow Daoist Feng?"
