I picked up the scattered attributes

Perhaps it was the restoration of youth, or perhaps it was an improvement in his cultivation that allowed this old man to break free from some kind of constraint.

Mo Lianque's face gradually brightened with a smile:

"I grant your permission! Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Having gained Mo Lianque's approval, Grand Tutor Shang breathed a sigh of relief. He paused slightly, then bowed to Mo Lianque to take his leave and ran back the way he came.

Before long, Feng Xia and his companion heard a commotion in the distance—

"Holy crap, who are you?"

"Wait, you said you're Grand Tutor Shang?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Who doesn't know Grand Tutor Shang? He's already incredibly old. You, a strong and healthy young man, shouldn't even try to stand in front of us..."

"Hey! Why are you hitting me?!"

"Help! Help! This kid is hitting people!"

"Oh no, what if we can't beat him even if we all join forces?"

Finally, after a roar, the riot gradually subsided.

Only a strong, resonant voice reached Feng Xia and his companion from afar: "You lot... all of you get up for this old man!"

"Next, I will take you to a place..."

"Go back to school!"

……

"It's quite rare that they were able to come to their senses."

The hope is that after these people go to Qianqiu Valley, they will be able to keep their eyes open and not be easily shocked.

Feng Xia shook his head, and at the same time, he withdrew his divine sense.

After undergoing the transformation on the shores of the East China Sea, he finally condensed his divine sense. Just now, he didn't really sit idle; instead, he used his divine sense to scan the entire palace.

"I see, I understand now."

Upon seeing that familiar butcher knife, he roughly realized the crux of the problem.

The malevolent energy backfired!

Similar to the situation of ordinary supernatural beings, a moderate amount of malevolent energy can enhance one's aura and indirectly increase one's combat power; however, if the malevolent energy is too strong, it may cloud one's mind, making one muddle-headed and unaware of cause and effect, benefits and harms!

The murderous aura emanating from the pig-slaughtering knife is so terrifying that it is aptly named as a "murder weapon"!

Under normal circumstances, if the divine blade possesses a spirit, it will only amplify its power.

The situation with the pig-slaughtering knife is slightly different.

"We should have noticed it long ago; the sword spirit of this sword is in a very abnormal state! Perhaps it was damaged in the ancient war, which is why it has been shelved and dormant until today!"

Baptized by the revival of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and stimulated by that demonic sword, the murderous aura of the pig-slaughtering knife continued to increase, reaching an astonishing level.

But the spirit of the butcher's knife... showed no signs of recovering!

Feng Xia still remembers the letter in the butcher shop. The owner of the butcher knife said he was going to the front line to find the missing child, but after that, he never came back.

The shop owner waited and waited, until she became a ghost, her obsession turning into a lingering echo in time, yet she still lingered in the shop across the street, always waiting for her family to return.

According to the former owner of the pig-slaughtering knife, the knife is a token of his trust; as long as he lives, the knife will remain in the world forever!

Now, recalling it again, Feng Xia has a different perspective.

"Perhaps the butcher knife had already malfunctioned at that time, which is why it was not brought to the battlefield."

Feng Xia suddenly realized that her previous judgment was wrong: "It's not that the sword spirit has not been able to recover, but that she is injured and unable to recover. The deeper the evil energy, the more severe the backlash on the sword spirit. That's why she instinctively targeted Mo Lian Que... no, it should be said that she targeted this thing!"

Mo Lianque asked cautiously, "Sect Leader Feng, what exactly is it about me that butcher's knife that's targeting... Can't I find a way to fix it?"

The real highlight of today's event was the butcher's knife.

He suspected that if this happened a few more times, it might leave a deep psychological scar, making it impossible for him to clap happily for the rest of his life.

"They're targeting you?"

Feng Xia shook his head with amusement: "Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness, but the spirit of this sword doesn't like ordinary people... Besides, she's not eyeing you, but something in your harem."

After saying that, Feng Xia gently raised her hand.

Boom boom boom boom——

As Mo Lianque stared in disbelief, one after another, violent explosions erupted from the mansions and residences deep within the palace, followed by thick black smoke that rose into the sky, forming a continuous black curtain!

"Wind, wind, wind... Master Feng, you..."

His Majesty the Emperor was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

No matter how much he had prepared himself mentally, he hadn't expected Feng Xia to pull this stunt:

"You blew up my entire harem?!"

……

Chapter 0614

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I held back when I made my move."

Seeing Mo Lianque's reaction, Feng Xia couldn't help but chuckle and offered an explanation.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor cherishes his beloved concubines quite a bit!

"It's good that you held back your strength..." Mo Lianque's eyes twitched, but he still breathed a sigh of relief.

"At most, they'll be half-dead from the explosion, not really completely dead. As long as they're rescued in time, they should be able to be saved," Feng Xia added with a smile.

"……ah!!"

Mo Lianque cried out in surprise once again.

However, he had only run a dozen or so feet when he suddenly woke up and looked at Feng Xia with a wry smile: "Sect Leader Feng, you mustn't be joking about this kind of thing!"

"I'm not kidding, I did hold back a bit, no one will get hurt."

Feng Xia smiled and shook his head, while simultaneously raising his hand to grab at the air.

From the rising black smoke, one shadow after another flew out, as if drawn together by an invisible force, and gathered together one after another.

"This is……"

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at it and immediately recognized it: "A Soul-Soothing Stone?"

Feng Xia nodded slightly, and continued to form hand seals, striking the air repeatedly to gather the Soul-Soothing Stones together and refine them into a flawless whole!

"It is indeed the Soul-Soothing Stone. The butcher's knife is not targeting His Majesty, but rather the Soul-Soothing Stone in His Majesty's harem."

"So it was a soul-soothing stone..."

Mo Lianque suddenly realized the truth.

Just as Feng Xia said, he also noticed that something was wrong with the butcher knife. It was very likely that the knife spirit was malfunctioning, but he couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was.

But now that Feng Xia has mentioned it, His Majesty the Emperor immediately understands.

The spirit of the butcher's knife is mostly suffering from severe injuries that have not yet healed, and its condition is even quite bad. Therefore, it instinctively seeks out treasures in the path of the soul!

The Soul-Soothing Stone is one of the most exquisite treasures of the soul path that can be found throughout the entire Xuanwu Kingdom!

Before this, its primary function was to be crafted into a bed to soothe the soul and calm the mind, allowing people to sleep comfortably...

"As for why it was staring at His Majesty, it was probably because His Majesty's aura of killing intent was relatively stronger. Therefore, the butcher knife instinctively chose the most conspicuous target."

As Feng Xia shook his head, he had already gathered all the Soul-Soothing Stones and refined them into a huge whetstone.

In the next lesson, the whetstone flew towards the direction of Thousand Autumns Valley.

Boom——

Somewhere behind the palace.

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of malevolent energy erupted. However, this surge of malevolent energy was only fleeting and quickly disappeared, leaving only a bright blade of light that pierced the sky and streaked towards the horizon!

"The rest is up to Your Majesty."

After doing all this, Feng Xia clapped his hands in satisfaction.

As you can see, one panicked figure after another rushed out of the inner palace. The moment they saw Mo Lian Que, they seemed to grasp at a lifeline and ran over with screams.

"Your Majesty! My bed exploded! Waaaaah..."

"Help! Help! Your Majesty—"

"My clothes! Has anyone seen where my clothes went?"

Mo Lianque was immediately baffled: "How did they all come out..."

……

The problem that Butcher Knife encountered was simpler than Feng Xia had anticipated, but more troublesome than she had imagined.

Feng Xia's figure transformed into a streak of light and swept across the sky, the scene he had sensed earlier flashing through his mind.

Through his evolved divine sense, one can see...
