Chapter 389

Hong Yan being able to acknowledge the Fire King’s sect master as his master also caused Hong Mengshu to be a bit jealous. Her face was filled with envy.

Hong Yan was ranked seventh and she was only ninth. This meant that Hong Yan’s talent in certain areas was indeed much greater than hers.

“Here, this is your magical beast crystal egg!” Hong Mengshu took out two magical beast crystal eggs.

“Only two?” Qin Yun took them and stored in his storage space.

Hong Mengshu continued to take out magical beast crystal eggs and smiled, “There are still quite a few!”

Qin Yun was delighted to see that there were quite a number of magical beast crystal eggs.

Hong Mengshu had obtained a total of twenty magical beast crystal eggs.

Qin Yun had also given her four hundred thousand purple coins. Hong Mengshu did not beat around the bush and directly accepted it.

“Mengshu, does your palace have any books with historical records?” Qin Yun suddenly asked.

“Of course! The history of our Hong Wu Country is also very long!” Hong Mengshu hurriedly nodded: “What do you want to ask me about? Say it!”

Qin Yun hesitated for a moment before asking, “Hmmm…There were two things! I’m just a little curious!”

“Speak!” Hong Mengshu looked at Qin Yun in a secretive manner and was filled with interest.

Qin Yun looked around and whispered, “Help me check out the specifics of Totem Pavilion! And… In the history of our Nine Extinction Profound Gate, a group of experts suddenly died in expedition, many disciples were later chased and killed and even up until now, no one has ever been able to find the mastermind.”

Hong Mengshu immediately frowned and said: “Totem Pavilion? I seem to have heard of it!”

“From whom?” Qin Yun asked hurriedly.

“When I was very young! At that time, my father received a guest because I was still young, he brought me with him and I have heard them talk about. They say that every hundred years, we have to pay tribute to the Totem Pavilion.” When Hong Mengshu heard Qin Yun mention Totem Pavilion, the memories of her childhood that were sealed away in her mind were awakened.

She thought back and couldn’t help but be shocked, “Our Hong Wu Country actually wants to pay tribute to Totem Pavilion! I remember my royal father’s helpless expression back then!”

When Qin Yun heard this, he said solemnly, “Mengshu, then don’t ask about the matter of Totem Pavilion! Help me look into the matter of the Nine Extinction Profound Gate!”

“Brother Yun, it seems that there is a force stronger than the Martial Kingdom and king level sects!” Hong Mengshu said in a low voice, “Who knows? The matter of a group of experts being killed in your Nine Extinction Gate has something to do with the Totem Pavilion!”

Qin Yun’s expression immediately turned solemn.

If that was really the case, then there must be something very important to Totem Pavilion within the Nine Extinction Profound Gate!

Hong Mengshu said: “I have also heard about the matter of the Nine Extinction Gate! Back then, the strength of the Nine Extinction Gate was one of the best at the Xuan Rank. Furthermore, the entire sect was extremely united!”

“Later on, the headmaster and a group of elders were killed. Even those elderlies who were on the verge of stepping into the Martial King realm were all killed. A large number of the disciples that went out also died!”

“Then, just like that, many legacies of the Nine Extinction Gate were broken apart!”

When Qin Yun heard that, he clenched his fists and fell silent.

“I heard royal father say that the Nine Extinction Gate almost became a king level sect… After that incident, it completely declined!” Hong Mengshu said in a low voice, “This matter has also become an eternal mystery because no one knows who did it. This also caused many aristocratic families to not dare to send their disciples to the Nine Extinction Profound Gate!”

Right now, in the eyes of many, there was simply no possibility of the Nine Extinction Profound Gate rising up; it might even be inferior to some spirit level sects!

Hong Mengshu patted the dazed Qin Yun and said, “Brother Yun, you are very talented and very mysterious. You’re already at the second level of the Martial Dao realm at such a young age and you’re also a high level Spirit Inscriptionist! If you were to be exposed, tt is very likely that I will be the target of that mysterious gaze!”

“When I returned to the palace, I didn’t even hear about you becoming a Spirit inscriptionist. It can be seen that Mu Feng and the others didn’t announce this matter to the public!”

Qin Yun sighed. He had also thought of that earlier!

“Don’t worry, I won’t go around blabbering either! I don’t want to lose a good friend like you. Otherwise, who would I find to refine my equipment for me?” Hong Mengshu mischievously laughed.

“Mengshu, when are you going to join a king level sect?” Qin Yun asked.

“I don’t know yet! This is all arranged by my royal father. Since I already have a title, he will definitely help me settle it!” Hong Mengshu curled her lips and lightly snorted, “Anyways, I’m not like Old Seven, who can acknowledge a sect master as his master!”

Hong Mengshu’s spirit crane flew faster and before long, it arrived at the entrance of the Divine Inscription Palace.

She sent Qin Yun back to the Divine Inscription Palace and returned to the palace.

Qin Yun looked at the Inscription Palace and for some reason, he suddenly felt worried. However, he still walked in.

When he returned to his suite, he saw Wei Zhongzheng.

“Headmaster, you’re back!” Qin Yun said with a smile.

“Xiao Yun, because of the alchemist competition is about to start here, I can’t leave. Help me send a letter to an old friend, how about it?” Wei Zhongzheng said.

“Should we start with the celebratory feast or the competition first?” Qin Yun asked.

“Now the pill competition has been brought forward! Therefore, after the competition, there will be a celebratory feast. There will also be enough time for you to deliver a letter!” Wei Zhongzheng laughed.

Qin Yun took the letter and said, “Where do I send it?”

“Jade Xuan City!” Wei Zhongzheng’s words surprised Qin Yun.

“Jade Xuan City is quite far from here and the journey should take at least nine or so days. By then, I might not make it for the feast!” Qin Yun said with a frown, “Sect Master, is this delivery really that important?”

“It’s very important!” Wei Zhongzheng nodded his head: “Don’t worry, when the time comes, that old friend of mine will be able to send you back to Hong Wu Royal City very quickly!”

Following that, Qin Yun asked for an address and learned that he was going to deliver the letter to Jade Xuan City’s Amazing Medicine Mountain.

He hurriedly left Hongwu Royal City and headed straight for Jade Xuan City!

“Sect Leader, seriously, you’re asking me to deliver a letter at such a time!” Qin Yun was very puzzled.

Right now, he could only increase his speed and continuously execute the Mysterious Star Steps as he ran.

When Qin Yun left the city, it was evening. After running at full speed until deep into the night, he came to a mountain and rested on a rock beneath a tree.

Swoosh!

He suddenly heard a sound and his body instinctively jumped up, avoiding the thing that was shooting towards him.

Tsssssss! *

It was actually an arrow. What was even more terrifying was that after the arrow pierced the tree, it actually melted the tree!

The hundred-meter-tall giant tree had been melted into a black liquid by a part of it’s trunk, causing the tree to break and collapse on the ground.

Qin Yun looked at the continuously melting tree as the fear in his heart reached it’s peak!

It was an incomparable poison!

If he was hit by the arrow, he would turn into a puddle of black mud!

A chill surged in Qin Yun’s heart!

He quickly used his Shadow Power and hid in the darkness!

“Is this a sneak attack? And using such a method, is it just to destroy the corpse?” Qin Yun was hiding in the darkness behind a boulder.

He recalled that ever since he left the city, he had been hurrying on his journey. The areas he had passed through were completely empty.

Although the place they were in was a forest, it wasn’t a place where demon beasts roamed. There couldn’t be hunters!

Furthermore, even if a strong spirit beast was hit by the extremely poisonous arrows, it would turn into black, poisonous mud. It wasn’t for hunting purposes at all.

“Could this person have followed me out of Hongwu Royal City?” When Qin Yun thought of this, he could not help but feel his heart jump.

When he entered Hongwu Royal City, the only one who knew of his whereabouts was Hong Mengshu!

But it was impossible for Hong Mengshu to do anything to him, she had no motive!

“The sect master arranged for me to deliver the letter very suddenly. Who was it that wanted to kill me?” He hid behind the rock and kept thinking about whether the assassin had left or not.

“Could it be that sect master wants to kill me? That’s impossible!”

He thought about it and suddenly felt that Wei Zhongzheng’s sudden request for him to deliver the letter was indeed rather sudden.

Hu hu!

Qin Yun suddenly heard a weak voice. It was the sound of a person flying over. Clearly, the assassin had come to take a look because he had failed to discover him.

He carefully took out five Body Securing Talismans and used his mental energy to control a rock to fly towards a tree in the distance.

After the rock he was controlling flew past, a black shadow also jumped over!

Qin Yun immediately tossed five Body Securing Talismans over!

The black shadow was immediately immobilized. Although the Body Securing Talisman could only last for an instant, Qin Yun had already instantaneously flashed over. He took out his Heavenly Lion Dragon Suppression Cauldron to cover the black figure!

Qin Yun’s heart raced as he turned extremely nervous.

He closed the lid and immediately activated the Mysterious Star Steps. In the blink of an eye, he was already a few thousand meters away!

After cultivating the Nine Extinction Supreme Internal Energy, his speed became even faster!

Qin Yun left the mountain and continued to hide in the darkness. Then, he retracted his aura and walked carefully.

He didn’t know if there was a killer behind him, so he decided to stay away from the mountain first.

The Heavenly Lion Dragon Suppression Cauldron had become extremely small and the person trapped within was extremely powerful as well. This caused the small cauldron to unceasingly shake.

Qin Yun did not have the time to deal with that person. He could only wait until it was safe.

At night, he ran with only his physical strength.

He went over several large mountains and found a natural cave.

Qin Yun hid inside the cave and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He began resting to recover his depleted energy.

After resting, he took out the letter that Wei Zhongzheng was asking him to deliver to Jade Xuan City.

“Let’s open it and take a look!”

Qin Yun felt that this matter was definitely not that simple. His intuition told him that Wei Zhongzheng was entrusting him with the delivery of a letter was just a pretense.

He opened the letter but there was nothing inside!

“Nothing at all!” Qin Yun read it carefully a few times and confirmed that there were no other words hidden inside.

“It was indeed the Sect Leader who sent me away! When he told me to leave the city, I was attacked. Why?” Qin Yun definitely did not believe that Wei Zhongzheng was trying to harm him.

He took out the Cauldron.

The cauldron continued to shake.

“Hurry up and release me. If I am unable to return within a certain period of time, the consequences will be dire!” A sound came from inside the Cauldron.

Qin Yun said with a sneer, “I was nearly killed by you. You actually think I would let you go? You are so naive!”

After saying that, he took out a black bottle.

This bottle is full of beast oil.

Qin Yun did not know the cultivation base of the person inside. However, even if it was at the Spirit Martial Realm, he would be burnt to death if he were to be burned by a large amount of beast oil.

He poured a large amount of beast oil into the cauldron.

“Beast oil?” Why do you have so much beast oil? What are you doing!” That person’s voice was filled with incomparable terror.
