"Promoted to the golden elixir." Qin Zhu admitted frankly.
"She is Mu Linggen?" Yang Zhen asked.
"Fire root. Wood can make fire. You don't know, right?"
Qin Zhu asked back, with a tired look on his face: "Mr. Yang, I'm tired. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Yang Zhen really had a lot of questions. After thinking about it, she asked: "Many Zifus in the Yunxiao Sect don't know about the things in Langshan Secret Realm. Where did you learn about it?"
"Chu Xingju. He is the descendant of the group of loose cultivators who discovered the secret realm of Langshan." Qin Zhu replied.
The Chu Xingju she spoke of was none other than the Taoist Chu who was killed by Yin Nanxing in the secret realm.
"A noble family wanted to seize his secret realm token, so Brother Chu took refuge in us and told us everything about the secret realm."
"But those casual cultivators back then didn't know anything about the Wood Spirit Pearl. How could he know about it?"
"He only told the secret of the third-level demon monkey. This wood spirit bead was inferred by my princess based on the growth of the spiritual plants in the secret realm."
"Your princess? Aren't you also a member of the royal family? What's your relationship with the eldest princess?"
"I am the maid next to the eldest princess. There are millions of people in the Qin family. Although I have royal blood, I am actually far from it."
"Since the one in your family is the eldest princess, she has a respected position in the country. Doesn't the Qin Kingdom have the Wood Spirit Pearl? Why do you want subordinates like you to take risks and come to our Xu Kingdom to get it?"
"There are two reasons," Qin Zhu was very frank: "First, our Qin country has many talented and well-established royal families. Although the eldest princess is the best among all others, her resources are limited. Treasures such as the Wood Spirit Pearl,
It’s not something she can get easily.”
"Second, the eldest princess guessed that the Langshan one is probably a top-grade heavenly elixir. Since she wants to attack the golden elixir, she must use the best materials to produce the best golden elixir!"
This is an ambitious woman! Yang Zhen murmured in her heart and couldn't help but ask:
"What kind of person is your eldest princess?"
Upon hearing this question, Qin Zhu's gray face suddenly glowed, the corners of his lips raised, and his whole person seemed to come to life.
"Excellent talent, spiritual intelligence, beautiful appearance, perseverance and determination." She said word by word: "I, Qin Zhu, have never seen such a stunningly talented and beautiful woman in my life. I..."
She trembled all over: "Presumably at this time, the Wood Spirit Pearl is already in the hands of the eldest princess. I, Qin Zhu, died for the princess. She, in her heart, will definitely remember me."
A relieved smile appeared on her face, and her voice gradually became lower.
Yang Zhen sighed, knowing that this woman was completely exhausted, and even if he used his true energy to maintain it, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Miss Qin," he said softly, "do you have any unfinished business? Although you and I belong to enemy countries, if I, Yang Zhen, can do it, please give me your instructions."
"Unfinished business?" Qin Zhu muttered, a teardrop quietly slipped from the corner of his eye.
"Mr. Yang, after I die, if you have the opportunity to go to Qin in the future, take me there and give me to my princess!"
After saying that, she couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears.
"This..." Yang Zhen was very embarrassed.
For the reward of 100,000 contribution points, he must hand over the other party. After that, how the Yunxiao Sect will treat the remains of the enemy monks is not something that he, a mere qi training disciple, can say.
He wanted to refuse, but when he turned around and saw the woman's pleading eyes, he finally couldn't bear it.
"I'll try my best," he promised.
"Thank you——" Qin Zhu couldn't hide his disappointment, and his eyelids slowly closed.
Yang Zhen still holds her hand and is still sending Qi.
"Suffering from turbidity and filth, who can say anything when I am so depressed!"
The woman's soft singing voice sounded, with a somewhat unique accent, like an orphan who had run away from home singing in the distance:
"The night is hard and sleepless, and the soul is still lonely at dawn."
"Wandering through the blue clouds, I suddenly came to my husband's old hometown."
"I miss the old land with imagination, and take a long breath to cover my tears..." (Note)
The sound became weaker and weaker, until it became inaudible, and finally became silent.
A soul that died in a foreign land disappeared...
Yang Zhen let go of her hand and looked at the deceased woman lying on the ground with mixed emotions.
This woman is bold, careful, and ruthless, and is willing to kill many people in order to achieve her goals.
Senior Sister Meng, Feng Changqing, Zhao Yuqi, Zhao Yuxi, the Mo Brothers...
At least ten lives were lost either because of her or by her.
Therefore, if we go back to two quarters of an hour ago, he will still show no mercy and do whatever he wants.
However, seeing her true feelings revealed before she died, I still felt pity in my heart.
This is a hateful and pitiful woman!
At the same time, Yang Zhen was also full of curiosity about the eldest princess of Qin who she had never met but had such a loyal subordinate.
He had a premonition that one day in the future, he would deal with this strange woman.
As for whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is hard to say.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Zhen stood up, ready to put away all the belongings, and then move on to explore a way out.
At this time, there was a faint sound coming from the depths of the corridor, which was exactly the direction from which it came.
He raised his ears and listened carefully, but he heard Yiyi happily say:
"Brother, sister Yue'er, and grandma are here to find us!"
Yang Zhen was overjoyed. She looked carefully and heard Ruoyouruowu's call: "Little Shitou, are you there?"
"I'm here——"
He couldn't help but responded loudly, which made the corridor buzz with noise and dust fluttering around.
After a few breaths, a soft body rushed over: "Little Shitou, I found you!"
"My grandma and I went to the waterhole several times to look for you, but we didn't find you, so we called grandpa here." The girl chirped.
Yang Zhen put her arms around the girl and looked at the two people following her with a smile.
It is Mammy and Master Zhexi.
Zhao Beiqing saw the corpse on the ground at a glance and asked in shock: "This person is..."
"This is Qin Zhu," Yang Zhen nodded, and then added: "She is dead, killed by me."
"Did you kill her?" Zhao Beiqing looked at the young man: "Why not capture her alive?"
"She is stronger than me, so I can't hold back." Yang Zhen replied.
At this time, Zhao Yue'er had also let go of her hands, looked at the ground in surprise, then looked back at the young man, her mouth slightly opened, also in disbelief.
She had personally experienced Qin Zhu's strength. At that time, with the strength of the five of them, they could only deal with each other. But now, Xiao Shitou can kill her by himself!
"She was injured in the secret realm and never recovered." Yang Zhen saw her thoughts and explained.
This is a fact. When Qin Zhu talked about the shortcomings of [Zhongyu Tongming Jue], he told him without any secret that if he ran this technique twice in one day, his breath would become unstable and he would even be in danger of going crazy. When she left the secret realm, due to the restrictions on transmitting tokens and to prevent others from discovering the abnormalities in her cultivation, she had to use her kung fu again to suppress herself in the realm of Qi training.
So after she was teleported out, she looked tired and pale. It was not intentional, but it was the truth.
In the past few days in the cave, she barely suppressed her injuries. Later, in order to defeat Yang Zhen, she took the risk to break through. Finally, her heart was injured by Yang Zhen's blow and she died of her injuries.
All I can say is that this woman is indeed ruthless. She is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself.
"Can the Wood Spirit Pearl be found?" Zhao Beiqing glanced at the items scattered on the ground and asked this most important question.
"Her accomplice took it away one step ahead." Yang Zhen replied.
Zhao Beiqing suddenly frowned and stared at the young man with a stern face.
"I can swear, I swear by my inner demon." Yang Zhen said solemnly.
"No need to swear!" Nanny walked between the two of them.
"Little Shitou, we believe in you!"
She looked at the boy with a loving smile on her face.
