256: Chapter 255 The secret message from the demon clan

Qin Changsheng controlled Hu Nan, standing in place with his head lowered without the slightest movement, only using his peripheral vision to quietly observe Granny Qing's expression, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

It seemed that this purple gold necklace had indeed removed Granny Qing's suspicion; his disguise was already more than half successful.

After a long while, Granny Qing finally slowly regained her senses.

She slowly stood up and asked, "What did that tiger send you here for?"

Qin Changsheng's heart jolted, immediately knowing that Granny Qing had completely believed his identity.

"Replying to Granny Qing, my uncle sent me to ask you about the next Move's arrangements, and... and to find a way to rescue Granny Qing out!"

Hearing this, Granny Qing slowly shook her head, her tone calm yet carrying an indisputable firmness: "Grandmother will not go out for the time being!"

"Grandmother staying here is the only way to keep those powerhouses of the Human Race from knowing that Her Majesty has already reincarnated!"

Hearing Granny Qing's words, Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with shock.

He also hadn't expected that the Empress of the Yao Race was not only not sealed within the Sealing Tower,

but had already undergone Reincarnation to recultivate?

Granny Qing did not notice Hu Nan's abnormality and continued: "Go back and tell Shen Guhong to let him continue to implement according to the original plan, and not to be impatient."

"When Her Majesty's cultivation returns to the Nascent Soul Realm, it will be the day of our Yao Race's rise. At that time, we will wipe out the Human Race in one fell swoop and restore the prestige of the Yao Race!"

When Granny Qing spoke the words 'restore the prestige of the Yao Race', she emphasized them heavily.

Clearly, she placed great importance on revitalizing the Yao Race.

"As you command!" Hu Nan stood up, preparing to leave.

"Wait!" Granny Qing called out to Hu Nan.

Qin Changsheng's heart stirred, and he immediately controlled Hu Nan to stop and slowly turn around: "Grandmother, do you have further instructions?"

Granny Qing did not speak, but slowly raised her hand and fumbled from her person to produce a key that was moist and lustrous all over, emitting a rich purple light.

The key was about the length of a palm, with an ancient design, its surface carved with complex runes, and on the back of the key was a 'Yao' character!

With just one look, Qin Changsheng recognized that this key was the purple-gold key.

Granny Qing held the purple-gold key in her hand, her eyes fixed on the key with a complex expression, containing nostalgia, expectation, and a few hints of undetectable solemnity.

She quietly looked at the purple-gold key for a long time before speaking: "After you go out, give this key to Shen Guhong and tell him he must personally deliver it to Her Majesty."

Hu Nan bowed in response: "This subordinate obeys!"

Granny Qing nodded slightly, then with a flick of her wrist, the purple-gold key in her hand, along with the previous purple gold necklace that carried memories, turned into two streaks of purple light and flew toward Hu Nan.

Qin Changsheng immediately controlled Hu Nan to raise his hand and steadily catch the purple-gold key and the purple gold necklace.

Qin Changsheng was extremely excited at this moment; he hadn't expected his disguise to actually successfully deceive Granny Qing.

He had even swindled the purple-gold key, which concerned the Empress's Seal, into his hands.

In fact, Qin Changsheng also knew in his heart that this purple gold necklace had performed a great service.

If not for this necklace, Granny Qing would not have believed him at all.

Qin Changsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his mind was rapidly calculating how to take the Opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the Empress after her Reincarnation.

This was both a key secret and a matter of utmost importance for the safety of the Human Race.

Thinking of this, Qin Changsheng immediately had Hu Nan ask: "Reporting to Grandmother, how shall we find Her Majesty to deliver this key to her?"

As soon as these words came out, the gentle expression on Granny Qing's face slightly withdrew, falling into a brief silence.

After being silent for a moment, Granny Qing slowly raised her eyes, her cloudy gaze landing on Hu Nan.

After a while, she pulled out a letter from her person.

The envelope of that letter was ancient, stamped with a blurry Yao Race mark, and surrounded by a faint Yao power. It was clearly specially treated to prevent prying by outsiders.

She handed the letter to Hu Nan and said: "You need not ask more. Give this letter to Shen Guhong, and he will naturally know where to find Her Majesty."

"This subordinate will keep Grandmother's instructions in mind!" Hu Nan said respectfully.

Looking at Hu Nan's respectful appearance, a hint of approval appeared in Granny Qing's eyes. She nodded slightly, sized Hu Nan up once more, and slowly spoke: "Your talent is not bad. Grandmother will reward you with a Cultivation Technique today."

Hearing Granny Qing's words, Qin Changsheng's eyes were full of joy; he hadn't expected Granny Qing would actually reward him with a Cultivation Technique.

"What Cultivation Technique do you primarily practice?" Granny Qing asked.

"Replying to Grandmother, this subordinate primarily practices thunder arts and usually studies thunder-based Moves. I humbly request Grandmother to bestow a thunder-based Cultivation Technique!" Hu Nan said.

Qin Changsheng possessed the Heavenly Dao Trait 'Thunder God', and his only thunder-based Cultivation Technique was the Falling Thunder Spell.

If he could obtain another high-level thunder-based Cultivation Technique, his strength would definitely receive a massive boost.

Hearing the words 'primarily practices thunder arts', Granny Qing was slightly stunned, an undetectable flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

Most Yao Race Cultivators primarily practice fire, water, or earth; those who primarily practice thunder arts are not many, let alone Shen Guhong's nephew.

But she didn't think too much of it, assuming that Hu Nan had cultivated thunder arts by chance while acting as an undercover agent in the Human Race.

She raised her hand again, and a Jade Slip appeared in her hand.

The Jade Slip emitted a faint thunder light and was surrounded by a rich thunder-based aura; it was clearly a thunder-based Cultivation Technique.

Granny Qing slowly introduced: "Inside this Jade Slip is the Mysterious Grade High Grade Cultivation Technique 'Lightning Chain'. Once successfully cultivated, it can condense the power of thunder to strike out a chain of lightning that can attack multiple targets simultaneously with impressive power. It is just right for your cultivation."

After saying this, Granny Qing waved her hand, and the Jade Slip flew into Hu Nan's hand.

"Many thanks, Grandmother!" Hu Nan said respectfully.

Looking at Hu Nan's respectful and grateful appearance, a look of reassurance appeared on Granny Qing's face. She waved her hand: "Go back quickly and deliver the key and the letter to Shen Guhong. Do not delay here for too long, lest you arouse suspicion and ruin the great affairs of the Yao Race."

"This subordinate obeys!" Hu Nan bowed again and walked toward the wooden door.

...

Fourth floor of the Sealing Tower.

Qin Changsheng looked at the Jade Slip, the envelope, and the purple-gold key in his hand with some joy.

He hadn't expected that this time would actually go so smoothly.

Not only did he swindle the purple-gold key, but also a thunder-based Cultivation Technique.

Even more importantly, there was a letter regarding the Empress's whereabouts.

The envelope was perfectly sealed, and on the ancient cover, the Yao Race mark still emitted a faint Yao power.

Using a little force, he gently tore open the envelope and impatiently pulled out the letter inside, wanting to see the whereabouts of the Empress's Reincarnation recorded in the letter.

But the moment the letter was unfolded, Qin Changsheng's brow furrowed slightly, and the joy on his face faded quite a bit.

The letter was pure white all over, without any handwriting on it, smooth and flat, as if it were just an ordinary piece of white paper?

Qin Changsheng was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted.

This letter was a secret letter of the Yao Race. Ordinary means simply could not see the text on it; special methods exclusive to the Yao Race must be used to unlock the secrets in the letter.

He pondered for a moment and had an idea.

After successfully walking out of the Demon Clan Ruins, he would have Wang Cheng look into the methods for handling Yao Race secret letters.

He believed that with Wang Cheng's identity as an undercover agent, he would definitely be able to easily obtain the handling methods for Yao Race secret letters.

Then, he looked toward the east of the Demon Clan Ruins.

Now that the purple-gold key was in hand, the only goal of this trip remaining was the heavenly dao fragment that had yet to be acquired.

With a slight thought, Qin Changsheng activated his teleportation trait.

His figure swayed slightly, and a golden spiritual light enveloped his body. The surrounding air rippled slightly, and the sounds of discussion and wind instantly vanished, while the scene before him also blurred.

In the next instant, the golden light dissipated, and Qin Changsheng's figure had already disappeared from within the Sealing Tower. When he reappeared, he was already at the edge of Qingyuan Valley on the eastern side of the ruins.

Inside the valley, vegetation grew in clusters, and one could vaguely hear the crisp sound of weapons clashing and the roars of Yao Beasts from ahead. Clearly, Wang Cheng was in a fierce battle with a Golden Core demon bear.

Qin Changsheng looked toward the direction of the sound and saw that on a nearby clearing, Wang Cheng was holding a long sword, locked in a fierce battle with a massive black bear.

The black bear was pitch black all over, its fur standing upright like steel needles, its eyes blood-red, and its body emitting the Yao power fluctuations of the Golden Core Early Stage.

Wang Cheng's figure appeared somewhat disheveled, his clothes torn by the demon bear's sharp claws, and there were several shallow wounds on his body. Clearly, under the demon bear's powerful onslaught, he had already fallen into a disadvantage and could only barely defend, unable to counterattack at all.
