61: Tianjizi's calculations

"Thank you, you're so kind!"

Ma Lingshan nodded her thanks.

She wasn't going anywhere else; she just wanted to stay here with Chu Wuci and wait for the Lord of the Other Shore.

She had immense faith in her Reverse Fate System; with the System's help, she believed there was a good chance to defeat an Immortal Emperor Primordial Spirit.

Seeing Ma Lingshan's gratitude, Chu Wuci felt a wave of comfort. He thought that with a little more effort, he could definitely share a bed with the beautiful woman before him.

"Wuci, your father and the main branch Elders are going to the Ten Thousand Blood Sea."

"You must stay put on Nameless Divine Mountain and not run around outside!"

Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out.

Chu Xinghe walked out from a pavilion ahead, braving the raindrops. The raindrops were about to fall on him but were blocked by an invisible force.

"Father, what are you going to the Ten Thousand Blood Sea for?"

Chu Wuci looked at his father, a look of surprise on his face.

However, Chu Xinghe didn't explain, only reiterating, "Remember, just don't wander around outside!"

"The Great Thousand Bright Realm is full of hidden talents now. Those forces from the Immortal Realm are all vying for heaven and earth resources, searching for Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit!"

"All four Immortal Lords of the Southern Han Immortal Court are here. If you go out and encounter them, even with two Immortal Emperors protecting your Dao, it will cause unnecessary trouble!"

"After your father and the main branch Elders deal with Wang Qing, we will return and lead the Family to launch a counterattack against the Immortal Realm forces."

Chu Xinghe patted Chu Wuci's shoulder, and after a solemn warning, he walked towards the Chu Family's main hall with his hands behind his back.

Chu Wuci was still very puzzled. Could his father and the main branch Elder (Chu Daosheng) really encounter Wang Qing in the Ten Thousand Blood Sea?

"Tianji Zi, Wuci will be in your care for the next few days!"

On his way to the main hall, Chu Xinghe happened to meet Tianji Zi, who was coming to find Chu Wuci.

He cupped his fists towards Tianji Zi and quickly brushed past him.

Tianji Zi narrowed his eyes into a slit, glanced back at Chu Xinghe, and sneered inwardly.

You want to lure His Highness Wang Qing to the Ten Thousand Blood Sea, but how could I let you succeed?

Lost in thought.

Tianji Zi had already arrived beside Chu Wuci. "Young Lord Chu, the whereabouts of Long Aotian, whom you asked me to divine last night, have been found!"

"He has returned to his own world through the River of Time and will not appear again for a short period."

With that, Tianji Zi feigned a sigh.

Chu Wuci was dumbfounded.

He really hadn't expected Long Aotian to actually escape.

"Long Aotian, you scoundrel, if you dare to appear again, I'll definitely flay you!"

Chu Wuci cursed under his breath, then seemed to remember something important.

"Senior Tianji, last night, Junior was in the group chat with the Lord of the Other Shore..."

Chu Wuci revealed everything about the Multiverse chat group.

Tianji Zi listened carefully.

After a long while.

"Young Lord Chu, don't worry. If the Lord of the Other Shore dares to come, I will definitely help you capture him!"

Tianji Zi was amiable, as if an Elder was making a promise to his Junior.

In reality, it was not so; he was full of wicked schemes.

Tianji Zi was naturally no stranger to things like Systems and group chats.

He had once created Systems with his bare hands, tricking and killing many Transmigrators and Sons of Luck from various worlds.

All of this was told to him by Wang Zhennan.

If he remembered correctly.

Young Wang Zhennan was much more devious than Wang Qing, proficient in drinking, whoring, gambling, burning, killing, and looting.

He had played with and killed Transmigrators, Sons of Dao, and Goddesses of Dao.

It was only after marrying Situ Fiya, the clan sister of the Hongmeng Empress of the Hongmeng Divine Kingdom, that Wang Zhennan was completely reined in and thoroughly reformed.

Situ Linghuang was Situ Fiya's clan sister, the Hongmeng Empress, and also Wang Qing's aunt, though not a biological one.

"Then I shall trouble Senior Tianji!"

Seeing Tianji Zi's silence, Chu Wuci cupped his hands, then continued to chat and laugh with Ma Lingshan.

Tianji Zi did not respond, lowering his head and frowning, pondering how to destroy the Heavenly Luck Formation of Nameless Divine Mountain after Chu Xinghe left.

Only by destroying the Formation could Wang Qing and Zhao Jun lead people to ambush the Tianyuan Clan's lair and destroy it in one blow.

At the same time... Water Cold Snow Mountain, with heavy snow falling.

In the icy, snowy landscape, many Zhou Family members walked through the snow, holding Feng Xiaoyu.

Soon, an ancient stone gate appeared at the end of the snow mountain, surrounded by countless mysterious snow lotuses.

A woman in palace attire, her dark hair covered in snowflakes, possessed a captivating beauty that seemed unreal.

With skin like ice and bones like jade, and a figure that was curvaceous, she was squatting in the snow, picking "Extreme Cold Snow Lotuses."

As her skirt trailed on the ground, a hazy glimpse of her fair, straight calves and bare ankles, adorned with exquisite small bells, was revealed.

From a distance, the woman merged with the surrounding icy landscape, like a snow maiden stepping out of a fairy tale snow mountain painting.

She was Xuan Yuan Shuangyin.

After she left Yuemo City last night, she scanned the Great Thousand Bright Realm with her Divine Thought and encountered her favorite Extreme Cold Snow Lotuses in this snowy area.

So, she had lingered here, trying to gather as many snow lotuses as possible.

"Ding..."

The ankle bells chimed with a clear and pleasant sound.

Xuan Yuan Shuangyin stood up, holding a large pile of Extreme Cold Snow Lotuses in her hands, planning to put them into the spatial ring on her finger.

However, a group of people walked towards her from the snowy distance.

She paused for a moment, put away the snow lotuses, and swept her Divine Thought over them, discovering that it was the Immortal King Zhou Family group.

"What is Zhou Qi doing here with his Family members?"

Xuan Yuan Shuangyin scanned the surroundings. Besides this patch of snow lotuses, there was only an inconspicuous ancient Immortal Cave.

However, she showed no interest in it, only liking shiny things.

"Stop!"

Zhou Qi, leading a hundred Zhou Family members, had arrived at the end of the snow mountain, stopping right in front of a tall, ancient stone gate.

Engraved on the stone wall were four ancient and profound characters: "Sea God Immortal Cave."

Beyond the stone gate was an endless snow mountain storm, where the extreme cold Law flowed, solidifying into ice sculptures, and countless strange creatures were frozen.

Just as Zhou Qi turned around, preparing to instruct his Family members to use Feng Xiaoyu for a blood sacrifice to open the ancient stone gate.

He suddenly noticed a woman in the snow mountain storm behind the stone gate, watching them.

"Southern Cold Immortal Lord? Why are you here?"

"No, are those Extreme Cold Snow Lotuses?"

Zhou Qi rubbed his eyes, seeing the snowstorm howling around the Southern Cold Immortal Lord, and the Extreme Cold Snow Lotuses dancing in the wind.

He was completely stunned.

Extreme Cold Snow Lotuses were essential for refining various "Chaos Immortal Pills," and now the Southern Cold Immortal Lord was planning to take them all?

"This Empress is here gathering herbs. You do whatever you want, just don't provoke this Empress!"

Xuan Yuan Shuangyin had no intention of engaging with the Zhou Family members. She waved her fair hand, and the power of the Law of Fate flowed, instantly harvesting a patch of snow lotuses.

Her figure blurred, and she vanished into the snow mountain storm.

Zhou Qi smiled bitterly, not daring to step into the snow mountain beyond the stone gate.

He turned and instructed the Zhou Family members, "Cut her wrist and bleed her to open the Sea God Immortal Cave!"

"Understood, Family Head!"

The Zhou Family members obeyed, quickly bringing Feng Xiaoyu to the stone gate and taking out a short blade.

Feng Xiaoyu's hands were pressed against the stone gate, and seeing the short blade about to cut her wrist, she cried out desperately.

"No... don't, I don't want to be sacrificed!"

"Please have mercy and spare me!"

She cried and begged for mercy, but it was useless.

Zhou Qi said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Bleed her!"

"Yes, yes, Family Head!"

The two Zhou Family members holding Feng Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, their movements swift and decisive.

With a swish!

The short blade cut her wrist.
