Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 332 Ye Ruyan is seriously injured

After the Lunar New Year celebrations, the weather warmed up day by day.

Bai Fei and Gu Zhao discussed the Dao with the old Daoists for several days before preparing to take their leave.

The ones who were most reluctant to see her leave were not the many old Taoist priests of the Daluo Palace, but the several guardian star officials within the palace.

Bai Fei is a Spirit Lord with thousands of years of cultivation. In addition to discussing the law with other cultivators, she also gives guidance to the many demon guardians in the Great Luo Palace from time to time. Not to mention Huang Yuan and Bi Yingying, who have the highest cultivation, the rest of them also benefit greatly.

“Jiangyang Prefecture and Changping Prefecture are only separated by a river. If you have some free time, you can visit Jiangbei.” Bai Fei said to Gu Zhao. “If there is anything, you can also send someone to Bailing Mountain to find me.”

"Thank you for taking care of me, sister," Gu Zhao replied naturally.

Bai Fei paused, then reminded him, "Don't go to Ink Lake and fight with the Ink Dragon."

"Hmm?" Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow, but didn't doubt why Bai Fei knew he was going to make a move against the Mo Jiao.

Not to mention that Li Qingshuang had already guessed it, even the local demons and monsters of Jiangzhou could see that only one of the Daluo Palace and the Mo Jiao could exist.

Bai Fei looked at Gu Zhao and said, "After the Mo Jiao eats a person, it sleeps for two or three years. I thought you wouldn't make a move so quickly, but after these few days, I have found that your cultivation has progressed rapidly. I'm afraid you will not be able to resist taking the initiative to attack."

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Actually, it won't be that fast."

Bai Fei shook her head and chuckled, then composed herself and said in a deep voice, "The Ink Dragon lives in seclusion at the bottom of Ink Lake, but it has actually refined the water of the eight hundred miles of Ink Lake into its natal magic weapon. If we fight in Ink Lake, it will have the advantage of terrain."

"Oh?" Gu Zhao was genuinely surprised this time. He hadn't known about this information provided by Bai Fei before.

"How does it compare to the Blackrock Mountain Netherfire Cult?" Gu Zhao asked.

Bai Fei shook her head and chuckled, "Although the Netherfire Cult Master cultivates demonic arts, he is not a true Heavenly Demon, nor was he induced by a Heavenly Demon. If the Netherfire were to enter the Ink Lake, it would only be extinguished by the lake water."

Gu Zhao understood. He thought that if the Eight Hundred Mile Ink Lake were to unleash a massive wave, it would indeed be difficult to deal with.

Bai Fei gave Gu Zhao a deep look. "You can send someone to investigate in Pingjiang Prefecture. If the Mo Jiao goes out again, come to Bai Ling Mountain to find me."

Gu Zhao's eyes flickered. "Is my sister coming to help me?"

Bai Fei smiled gently, "I can't let you acknowledge me as your older sister for nothing."

Gu Zhao didn't stand on ceremony, "If my sister takes action, wouldn't it be a sure thing?"

Bai Fei smiled slightly, then lightly waved her sleeve, and her whole body transformed into a stream of light, flying straight north.

Li Qingshuang also left with Bai Fei, but instead of returning to Bailing Mountain, she went to Qianshan Prefecture in the west, or even Shanzhou, which is further west of Jiangzhou.

Bai Fei is merely the lord of Bai Ling Mountain, but Li Qing Shuang, besides being born from Bai Ling Mountain, also serves under the Spirit Court, so she also has to shoulder the responsibility of the Spirit Court to patrol the world and gather information.

……

Having conquered the Netherfire Cult, and dealt with Chaoyang Island, Jishen Mountain, and Bailing Mountain, and even unexpectedly recognized the mountain lord of Bailing Mountain as his elder sister, the Great Luo Palace's battle to make its name known in this world was successfully completed.

Although no physical combat was fought, the danger involved was no less than that of a physical battle. At least, the Ancestor of Extinction of Yang from Silent God Mountain was not someone they could deal with at the moment.

Fortunately, they had strong backing, and there was some connection between the two worlds. Chaoyang Island and Bailing Mountain were on his side. Ancestor Mieyang was not only wary, but also had a strange expectation.

Thus, the Daluo Palace successfully established itself in Yongzhou, opening Daluo Temples in both Heyan Prefecture and Shide Prefecture, and coexisting peacefully with Chaoyang Island and Jishen Mountain.

The next step was for the many experienced Taoist priests to continue traveling the world to eliminate evil and accumulate merit, and then eliminate the black dragon at the right time. At that time, the Great Luo Palace could be said to have no external threats.

Gu Zhao: I've been entertaining Bai Fei for the past few days. I haven't time-traveled, but Master Ming Chong, who stayed in the modern world, hasn't contacted me either, which means nothing has happened.

Having dealt with matters here, Gu Zhao prepared to return to the modern world for the New Year.

However, before he could set off, Bi Jingjing arrived with the seriously injured Ye Ruyan.

"What's going on?" Gu Zhao asked.

When they met a month ago, Ye Ruyan was a radiant and naturally alluring beauty, but now her demonic energy was unstable, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and she was almost unconscious.

"She barely made it to the Jade Pool before fainting. I tried to save her, but I discovered that her very essence was severely damaged, and her soul was entangled with a wisp of Yin energy. The enemy's cultivation was higher than mine, and I couldn't expel it." Bi Jingjing explained the situation in just a few words.

Gu Zhao reached into the gourd at his waist and pulled out a Purple Cloud Three Ginseng Pill, which he handed to Bi Jingjing, saying, "Help her take it."

"Thank you, Brother Gu!" Bi Jingjing hurriedly took the pill and fed it to Ye Ruyan.

The main ingredients of the Ziyun Three Ginseng Pill are a wisp of ginseng root from Ziyun Jun, along with two thousand-year-old ginseng plants he brought. They replenish qi and essence, and can basically save anyone who is not seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Ye Ruyan took the pill, and its effects were activated within her body. This then triggered the wisp of Yin energy that was entangled in her soul, causing her pale face to turn bluish-black.

Gu Zhao naturally sensed this Yin energy as well. It was indeed mysterious, agile, and difficult to deal with. Even the Purple Cloud Three Ginseng Pill could not overcome it.

However, the medicinal power of the elixir eventually suppressed the yin energy, and Ye Ruyan's soul stirred, finally waking up.

"Thank you, Sister Jingjing, and thank you, Palace Master Gu."

Ye Ruyan's last memory before falling into a coma was arriving at Bishuitan. When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Gu Zhao, so she naturally knew that it was Bi Jingjing who brought her to Da Luo Palace for help.

"Who is the enemy?" Bi Jingjing asked immediately.

“It’s Old Ghost Lan from Chunning Mountain in Tianquan Prefecture,” Ye Ruyan said bitterly.

Bi Jingjing was startled upon hearing this, "How did you end up with him? I don't remember you having any grudge against him, do you?"

“But his favorite pastime is abducting women to replenish his yang energy.” Ye Ruyan straightened up.

Bi Jingjing exclaimed in disbelief, "I remember he always only sought out ordinary women, why did he choose you?"

“He’s looking for ordinary women,” Ye Ruyan said, “but he’s come to my friend.”

Although Ye Ruyan cultivated in Wuya Ridge, she was not detached from worldly affairs. She often went to Tianquan Prefecture and Baishi Prefecture, north and south of Wuya Ridge, to relax and clear her mind. That's how she became friends with Bi Jingjing of Baishi Prefecture.

The same applies to Tianquan Prefecture, except that her friends are not demons or ghosts, but a famous actor in Tianquan Prefecture.

This time, when Ye Ruyan went to Tianquan Prefecture to find her and listen to her sing, she happened to encounter Lan Laogui, who took a fancy to the actress and kidnapped her.

Ye Ruyan tried to stop Lan Laogui, hoping he would spare the woman for her sake. However, Lan Laogui not only refused to give her face, but also tried to kidnap her as well.

Thus, a great battle broke out between the two sides. Ye Ruyan was no match for him and fled with serious injuries.

Sensing the aura of Old Ghost Lan trailing behind, Ye Ruyan dared not return to her cave. She could only flee all the way to Bijingjing's Jade Pool in Baishi Mansion for help, as the protective formation of Jade Pool was enough to stop the old ghost.

But when he woke up, he was in the Daluo Palace.

Of course, Ye Ruyan felt even more at ease after discovering that she was in the Daluo Palace.
