Chapter 1541:- God Burial Mountain (5)
It was because an elder of the Poison Valley entered the illusory realm of the Witchcraft Tribe and schemed against Yun Luofeng and caused her death. As a result, the faction on friendly terms with Yun Luofeng sought retribution from Poison Valley. She naturally could not say these reasons!
As for whether Yun Luofeng truly died or not and the Yun Luofeng picked up by the King was the one she wanted, this was unimportant. After all, she had never seen Yun Luofeng herself and was unfamiliar with her appearance.
However, just the mere fact that her name was Yun Luofeng meant she deserved death!
The queen recovered from her shock and furiously said, "How could such a cruel woman exist in this world? Right, she was taken in by King, will she seduce him? And King is in his prime, what if he can't resist the temptation..."
Lin Youyu's eyes sparkled, and her lips curled up with a cold smile. "She doesn't let even old men slip by. King is so handsome, so how could she give him up? Moreover, this woman seeks wealth and honor, so she definitely covets your position as the queen."
Hearing this, the queen instantly gnashed her teeth. "I originally thought that I would spare her if she was weak, but I must eliminate her now..."
"Queen, don't worry, she is our common enemy, I will help you deal with her! However, since she has landed in my hands, so I don't want to let her die too quickly!"
This country was her territory. Regardless of how strong Yun Luofeng was, how could she win against those elders? Hence, she must use this opportunity to mercilessly humiliate her!
"This is reasonable." The queen nodded. "State Preceptor, you have suffered so many grievances, you deserve revenge! This woman won't have a good fate in your hands."
Lin Youyu laughed. Her cold eyes swept over the queen and left without saying anything else.
...
After Yun Luofeng's health recovered, she left the room. This palace was unlike the outside world's and did not have any guards posted at the door. She directly left the palace and arrived in the boisterous market.
She could see a crowd in the distance. Their eyes contained worship and reverence as they all looked in one direction.
"It's State Preceptor, I heard the state preceptor will make a prophecy today. I wonder who is unfortunate enough to be the target?"
"Heh, this state preceptor is truly miraculous. If she says someone won't live past midnight, then that person certainly won't! Otherwise, the elders would not hold her in such high esteem and give her a status that surpasses the king's."
"However, the state preceptor typically won't make prophecies for anyone. Anyone who visits her, wanting her to prophesy their life expectancy, will be rejected! People won't know their end is near unless she personally comes out to specify that person."
Inside a multistory building, a woman in cyan walked up the tall balcony under the escort of many palace maids. Like a ruler who looks down on the populace, she haughtily peered at the humans below her. Her expression made her akin to a deity who can determine a person's life and death, everyone's fate unable to escape her sight.
"Prophesying someone's lifespan?" Yun Luofeng paused with interest. "Xiao Mo, there's someone who possesses this ability in this world?"
Xiao Mo's voice was heard from her soul after a moment. "I have never heard of that. Even the strongest prophet from a thousand years ago didn't have this power. I didn't expect a small country would have someone who possessed such a mysterious power."
Perhaps because she wanted to know how this woman made her prophecies, Yun Luofeng did not hurry to find the exit and stopped instead, surveying the woman on the balcony.

Chapter 1542:- God Burial Mountain (6)
A palace maid walked up. "Everyone, just like the past, whoever receives the pill in our state preceptor's hand is the one who will lose their life in a few days' time."
Pill?
Yun Luofeng frowned and turned to look at the audience beside her, asking, "Why does the state preceptor use a pill instead of directly saying someone's lifespan?"
That person glanced at Yun Luofeng with disdain in their eyes. "You don't even know the state preceptor's personality? The state preceptor is kind and can't bear to say someone's end is near, so she uses this method to avoid it."
After saying this, they did not pay attention to Yun Luofeng anymore and tensely watched the woman in cyan on the balcony.
Yun Luofeng was speechless. If she truly could not bear it, then she would not prophesy someone's death. Her action was undesirable to begin with.
"Everyone, our state preceptor has come to a conclusion. She hopes the one predicted by her will make arrangements for their funeral." The palace maid spoke again, causing everyone to become more anxious.
The state preceptor acted. She flicked a pill into the air, and it instantly hit a person's throat. The pill might have come from a distance, but it did not have a lot of power behind it and the spot it hit did not even redden.
Even so, the target knelt on the ground with a plop, their deathly pale face full of despair.
Everyone else all shook their head, their face containing sympathy and pity, but no one went over to help the person up.
Yun Luofeng was different from other people. After seeing the pill hitting that person's throat, her face darkened and a harsh glint flickered past her eyes. "Xiao Mo, did you see it?"
A moment later Xiao Mo answered, "I saw it. This pill is smeared with poison. It only needs to touch the skin and the person will certainly die within five days! I was puzzling over the fact that there was actually someone who could predict a person's death in this world, but I didn't expect them to use this cruel method."
Those people said that the state preceptor did not accept anyone who visited her and only used this method to predict someone's death. This method was evidently accurate.
It was not that the youth who was hit by the pill was destined to die. But... the pill was smeared with poison, so how could he not die?
"Master, are the people of this country stupid?" Xiao Mo was speechless. The woman claimed to be the state preceptor obviously did not have any true skill but was able to dupe these ignorant people through and through.
"They are not stupid. It's just that this country doesn't have the existence of physicians and poison masters, so they don't know the pill has poison on it."
Moreover, the inhabitants of this country had been cut off from the rest of the world for so many years, so how could they know the underhanded schemes of the outside world? It was natural for them to be deceived.
"Master, won't you go save that youth?"
"We are strangers, so why should I save him?" Yun Luofeng shook her head. "I won't interfere with matters unrelated to me."
More importantly, this place respected strength. If she saved someone prophesied to die, then it would attract the notice of the elders in the country. Perhaps they would even force her to be the queen.
Why would she do something so strenuous and unrewarding like that?
Yun Luofeng turned around and did not glance at the situation any further, walking to the other end of the street.
On the balcony, Lin Youyu appeared to have detected something and she looked at Yun Luofeng in the crowd, killing intent flashing through her eyes.

Chapter 1543:- God Burial Mountain (7)
Yun Luofeng! I'll never let you off!
She withdrew her gaze and told an imperial maid, "Tell him he'll die in five days." After saying that, she walked off the platform and left smartly.
...
Yun Luofeng spent a whole day looking for a way out, but it seemed that the bottom of the cliff had been hexed and no one could fly out of here.
Yun Luofeng walked slowly into the room, pondered and said slowly, "Xiao Mo, it's not going to work if we keep searching like this. I have to find where the hex is. Only when the hex is removed can we leave here."
Before Xiao Mo in the God Code World could answer her, the door opened and a handsome man in a flaxen robe walked in, surrounded by a crowd of guards.
"Miss Yun, you seem to be recovering well."
The man was surprised. If an ordinary person jumped off the cliff, he would definitely be badly injured even if he didn't die.
But she recovered within a day?
Yun Luofeng took a sip of tea and asked, "May I ask you a question?"
"Please, Miss Yun." Xuan Yuan grinned, "I'll tell you anything I know without reserve."
"I just want to know if there is any special place in your country."
"Special?"
Xuan Yuan pondered for a while before he replied, "In the back mountain, there is a forbidden area. People who go to the forbidden area will lose their lives. So, over time, no one will enter there. If you mean 'special', only this place is special."
"Forbidden area?" Yun Luofeng paused, "Can you take me there?"
Xuan Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, "The elders don't allow anyone to enter the forbidden area for safety reasons. Unless you get the token of the elders, you can't enter it. I can't help it."
For some reason, Yun Luofeng had a hunch that she would find a way out in the forbidden area.
"Please take me to see the elders of your country."
Xuan Yuan silently thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, follow me."
In this country, neither the king or the elders were superior. On the contrary, if anyone wanted to see them, he just needed to report in advance, and then he could see them after getting their permission.
Therefore, Xuan Yuan could take Yun Luofeng to the Council of Elders.
At this moment, in the Council of Elders, the elders, who looked worried, were discussing something. Just then, someone reported that Xuan Yuan came to see them with a strange woman.
"Yuan Xuan came to see us with a woman?" The oldest man paused for a moment and frowned, "Does he want to take an imperial concubine? No way, we will not allow him to do this."
In this country, the number of women was significantly lower than that of men, so polygamy was not allowed, in case some men couldn't find wives. Though Xuan Yuan was the king, he could only have one woman. Only when the queen died in an accident would he be able to take a second wife.
"Let them in. Let's see what he wants." suggested another elder.
The eldest elder nodded, "Let them in."
Soon the door was opened, a light shone from outside and a brilliant beam of light fell upon a man and a woman standing at the door. The woman was peerlessly beautiful. With a wicked gleam in her dark eyes, she looked lazy and leisurely.
.
.
.
Chapter 1544:- God Burial Mountain (8)
All the elders were stunned at her beauty. Both the queen and the state preceptor were gorgeous. However, compared with this woman in white, they were like mud to clouds. No wonder the king brought this woman to them...
"Your Majesty," the old man frowned, "why did you bring this woman here?"
Although this woman was beautiful, their country valued strength more. She was just a beautiful vase.
"First Elder," Xuan Yuan said respectfully, "Miss Yun wants to go to the forbidden area in the back mountain, so she came here to ask for your permission."
"No way!"
First Elder's face darkened and he snapped, "Don't you know what a place the forbidden area is? No one who goes there can come back alive. We will never allow anyone to enter that place again. You'd better go back."
"Miss Yun," Xuan Yuan said, turning to Yun Luofeng with a wry smile, "You heard it. The elders won't allow you to go there."
To be honest, Yuan Xuan was not going to let Yun Luofeng go to the forbidden area. After all, that place was too dangerous. She, a weak woman, was courting death by going there!
Yun Luofeng looked up at the elders, "What if I say I can find a way in the forbidden area to get you out of here?"
What?
Yun Luofeng's words stirred up a storm in the minds of the elders.
She could find a way in the forbidden area to get them out of this place? Beyond all doubt, for the elders, leaving the bottom of the cliff was the most important thing...
If what Yun Luofeng said was real, they really should take a chance!
The elders all hesitated and looked at each other in consternation. Finally, they turned their eyes to First Elder and waited for his decision.
Just when First Elder was going to speak, a chuckle came from the outside.
A woman in a blue long dress and the queen stepped from outside. Her face lit up with a faint smile, and she looked at Yun Luofeng. The queen saw Yun Luofeng's face at this moment...
Her heart was filled with jealousy and anger. She, who didn't take the woman seriously, didn't expect that the woman picked up by the king was so beautiful! How could she feel at ease if she was still alive? Fortunately, this idiot offended the great state preceptor. She would not be able to survive!
"Elders," Lin Youyu took back her gaze and said with a sneer, "don't be fooled by this woman. I've predicted it. There's no way for you to leave here! If there really was such a way in the forbidden area, how could I not know it?"
The elders hesitated again. Indeed, they had all seen the power of the state preceptor. If there was really a way out in the forbidden area, how could the state preceptor not know it?
"Besides... "Lin Youyu paused and turned her sharp stare to Yun Luofeng, "I observed the stars last night and found that today there would be a woman coming who would bring a devastating blow to our country!"
Though the elders didn't like Xuan Yuan taking a woman to see them, they did not show any unfriendliness to her. Now, hearing Lin Youyu's words, all of them turned their eyes to Yun Luofeng.
Their eyes were filled with vigilance and suspicion...
"Your Majesty, this woman, who is of unknown origin, will bring disaster to our country," First Elder pondered for a while and said, "So please drive her out right away, and forbid her from entering our country again."
.
.
.
Chapter 1545:- God Burial Mountain (9)
Lin Youyu lowered her eyes. What she wanted was not just to drive Yun Luofeng out.
"First Elder, as I've said, this woman will bring disaster to our country. Unless she dies, we will all die!"
Die?
The elders were stunned. Since they began to live here, their lives had been peaceful and they never had any struggle or fight. So, they couldn't persuade themselves to kill this woman.
An unfathomable light flickered across Lin Youyu's eyes and she continued to bewitch the elders. "Elders, do you want to sacrifice her or let the whole country perish?"
Indeed, it would be better for them to kill this woman of unknown origin than sit by and watch the whole country perishing.
First Elder gently sighed, "Guards, catch this woman and burn her to death."
"Elders!" Xuan Yuan's face changed, "Just because of an assertion made by State Preceptor, you believe Miss Yun will destroy this country? Isn't it ridiculous?"
In fact, Xuan Yuan never liked Lin Youyu. This woman predicted people's lifespan at will and made countless people panic. She, however, accepted people's worship comfortably. Didn't she think that her behavior was cruel? Now she decided to kill Yun Luofeng without batting an eye! How could she kill a living life so easily?
"Your Majesty, as the king of the country, you should consider our country," First Elder frowned, "Don't be willful any more. Do you remember you used to willfully refuse to marry the queen, just because you couldn't forget a dead woman? When can you keep the overall interests of the country in your mind?"
Xuan Yuan shuddered. What happened before was a pain that could never be erased from his heart. Even now, the wound in his heart hadn't been healed.
Seeing these people decide her fate at will, Yun Luofeng laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Youyu scowled and asked in a cold voice.
"Do you know me?" Yun Luofeng glanced at Lin Youyu and gave a faint smile. If she didn't know her, why did she want to kill her?
"I just told the result of my prediction. Don't make it personal."
"Really?" Yun Luofeng stroked her chin and spoke with a smile. "Today, at the market, I saw you predict a person's lifespan. I wonder what disease he had and when he will die."
Lin Youyu looked at Yun Luofeng impatiently. "He doesn't have any disease. God wants him to die. No one can stop it! He will die within five days."
"Are you sure... no one can stop it?" Yun Luofeng squinted, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
Lin Youyu's heart sank. For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart, but she had no choice but bite the bullet, so she said, "Yes, no one can stop it."
Yun Luofeng said no more and turned to Xuan Yuan, "Find that man. I can save his life!"
"Are you sure, Miss Yun?" Xuan Yuan was surprised. Stop people from dying, was this possible?
Yun Luofeng smiled, "God wants him to die? I'm sorry. I like saving people's lives despite God's will." Of course, she said the last sentence to Lin Youyu.
Lin Youyu looked embarrassed. She felt more and more uneasy in her heart, but she did not know why.
"Okay."
To be honest, Yuan Xuan didn't believe Yun Luofeng could save people's lives despite God's will, but this was the only way to save her. Therefore, without any hesitation, he ordered people to bring that man here.

Chapter 1546:- God Burial Mountain (10)
A lot of people had seen what happened in the market, so it was easy to find that man. In a short time, a young man who looked desperate was brought here.
"Let's get started."
Yun Luofeng walked slowly to the young man who sat desperately on the ground and took out a cloth bag that contained a lot of silver needles.
The whole Council of Elders fell silent and everyone was quietly looking at Yun Luofeng...
Yun Luofeng disinfected one of the silver needles and slowly pierced it into the young man's body. As he let out a muffled groan, the whole silver needle disappeared into his body...
As the silver needle entered into his body, Yun Luofeng slowly injected some spirit energies into his body. Soon, the young man's body was covered with silver needles, and his face was not as pale as before.
But no one thought she could save him. After all, given the power of State Preceptor, no one could escape her predictions.
Neither could this poor young man.
"Okay."
After some time passed, Yun Luofeng pressed her hand against the young man's chest. With a thud, the silver needles covering his body were immediately shaken out. Meanwhile, the young man opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of black blood.
Lin Youyu's face turned pale, and a cold gleam flickered across her eyes. Even though this woman could detoxify this man, so what? Five days would be enough for her to kill him!
Yun Luofeng's next remark, however, dashed her plan.
Yun Luofeng turned to the elders and said flatly, "For caution's sake, please let him stay in the Council of Elders for five days, in case some people try to murder him. And I hope you can keep an eye on him."
Though the elders didn't believe Yun Luofeng's power, they still agreed, because they wanted Yun Luofeng to admit she lost with her own mouth.
This country was isolated. The residents here were simple and would keep their promise, so Yun Luofeng left with an easy mind.
"Elders..." Lin Youyu frowned, with a cold gleam in her eyes.
Before she said anything, she was interrupted by Xuan Yuan's cold voice.
"State Preceptor, why don't you just give her five days? If this young man dies, it proves that your prediction is correct. But if he is still alive, it shows that your ability is questionable. I wonder whether you have the courage to wait for five days."
Five days would be enough for him to find a chance to save Yun Luofeng.
Lin Youyu's face was ghastly pale. She clenched her fists and her eyes sparkled with a grim gleam.
"State Preceptor, everything will be clear in five days. Please don't worry." First Elder said.
"Humph!" Lin Youyu flicked her sleeves hard and walked out. She kept telling herself that Yun Luofeng might not have been able to detoxify her poison...
The young man still looked desperate. He trusted wholeheartedly in Lin Youyu's power, so he didn't believe he could survive for five days. In his heart, he had already sentenced himself to death!
Five days passed quickly. Within the five days, the country's residents all heard of Yun Luofeng's bet with Lin Youyu. Of course, everyone sniffed at Yun Luofeng's stupidity.
State Preceptor was like a god. How could her prediction be wrong?
The woman was clearly stalling for time, just to live five more days. Unfortunately, five days later, she would still have to die...
However...
In order to witness her miserable end, the residents didn't fall asleep on the night of the fourth day. Instead, they went to the Imperial Palace, stood outside the Council of Elders and waited overnight just to witness the death of the poor young man...

Chapter 1547:- Expose Her True Colors (1)
Squeak!
Under the public stare, the door of the Council of Elders was slowly pushed open, and an old man walked out. The old man was expressionless with a shrewd gleam in his eyes. Looking at the public's curious faces, he didn't say anything.
Finally, a young man couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Elders, what happened? Is that young man dead? Should we prepare for his funeral?"
However, no one believed that the young man was still alive, because in their heart if State Preceptor said someone would die, he would surely die.
First Elder didn't say anything. He pressed back against the left side of the doorway, exposing the entire room to the public. In the room, the young man was sitting in a daze, and his eyes were filled with confusion, astonishment, and excitement from the bottom of his heart.
He was not dead...
State Preceptor predicted that he would die within five days. However, he was alive after the five days. What could be more exciting than this? The crowd was all stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes...
This young man was not dead...
Was the state preceptor's prediction wrong?
Behind the crowd, Lin Youyu, in a long blue dress, looked pale at the young man walking out of the room, and her tightly bitten lips trembled slightly. This was impossible! Her poisoning technique was the best in the whole Poison Valley. How could Yun Luofeng detoxify her poison? At this moment, a chill swept over her body, making her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. Then she felt a creeping unease settle over her shoulders, and she turned to leave the place.
Suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of her, and then came the magnetic husky voice of a man.
"Lord State Preceptor, where are you going?"
Lin Youyu suddenly froze. She mechanically lifted her head only to see a handsome face. But the smile on this face made her shudder.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Didn't you say that no one could stop this young man from dying?" Xuan Yuan gave a sneer, "But now, how can you explain this?"
Lin Youyu forced a smile, "That's just a coincidence. Besides, my predictions had never been wrong..."
"Really?"
As soon as Lin Youyu said this, a wicked voice came from the side. Hearing it, Lin Youyu's eyes were filled with anger, and she turned her head and glared at the white-clad woman walking towards her. Under the morning light, the woman, in a snow-white robe, was stunningly beautiful. Even the slightest facial expression of hers was mesmerizing. But Lin Youyu gnashed her teeth at her.
"You have the power of prediction?" Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows, and gave a wicked smile, "I wonder if you can point out the dying ones among these people now?"
Since Xuan Yuan stopped Lin Youyu from leaving, everyone's eyes were turned to her. Now hearing Yun Luofeng's words, all of them shuddered and stared at Lin Youyu nervously. Although the poor young man survived, they still had a great fear of State Preceptor's ability, so they were so scared.
Lin Youyu's face changed, "I will not randomly predict anyone's lifespan. Otherwise, my prediction may be wrong. Only at special times can I..."
Yun Luofeng didn't want to listen to Lin Youyu's words. She raised her eyebrows, "Xuan Yuan, take her space ring and give it to me."
.

Chapter 1548:- Expose Her True Colors (2)
"Your Majesty!"
First Elder frowned. Seeing that Xuan Yuan was going to follow her order, he hurriedly stopped him, "Though the prediction of State Preceptor is wrong this time, we know her ability well. I can let your friend go, but you can't be disrespectful to the state preceptor."
Xuan Yuan slowly walked up to Lin Youyu, raised his hand and grabbed her collar.
"Your Majesty, stop it!" First Elder scowled and quickly came forward to stop him...
However, it was too late. Xuan Yuan had taken the space ring from Lin Youyu and handed it to Yun Luofeng. Even he didn't know why he believed this woman so much, and he even defied the elders' orders for her.
"Your Majesty!"
The elders all flew into a rage. None of them expected that Xuan Yuan would defy their orders for a woman. However, before they could vent their anger, Yun Luofeng took a pill out of the space ring...
Lin Youyu used this pill to predict people's lifespan. They could recognize it by its smell alone.
When Yun Luofeng took out the pill, the crowd was stunned, wondering what she was trying to do...
"It is said that you don't have the heart to predict people's lifespan with your own mouth, so you use this to 'speak' for you?" Yun Luofeng played with the pill in her hands, smiled and glanced at Lin Youyu.
Lin Youyu's face was ghastly pale. She clenched her fists tightly. Since the woman knew that the pill was poisonous, why did she hold it in her hand? Didn't she fear the poison?
"Yes, that's the pill." Before Lin Youyu said anything, Xuan Yuan on the side answered the question for her.
"In this case, I wonder if State Preceptor would like to take the pill." Yun Luofeng looked at Lin Youyu with a faint smile and asked wickedly.
Lin Youyu stepped back two steps, "This pill can't be eaten."
"It can't be eaten. But I guess it can be touched?" The smile on Yun Luofeng's face spread, "So, would you like to touch it?"
In fact, though Lin Youyu was born in the Poison Valley, she was not immune to all poisons. Every time she used the pill, she would wrap it in spirit energy. She never let it touch her skin, so she wouldn't be poisoned...
But now, hearing Yun Luofeng's words, Lin Youyu took another two steps back, with a flustered gleam in her eyes.
Xuan Yuan seemed to notice something. He reached out his hand to take the pill from Yun Luofeng's hand and force Lin Youyu to take it, but Yun Luofeng withdrew her hand before he touched it.
"If you want to die, you can try it." Yun Luofeng squinted, and a dangerous light flashed through her eyes.
Xuan Yuan scratched his head and laughed, "I saw you had no problem holding it. Besides, even if I have anything wrong, you must be able to save me."
Yun Luofeng glanced at Xuan Yuan and turned her eyes to Lin Youyu.
"Since the pill is yours, why don't you dare to take it?"
Lin Youyu's eyes twinkled, and a grim light flickered across her eyes, "Maybe you've applied poison on the pill and are trying to kill me!"
Yun Luofeng smiled, "How can I do it under so many eyes? Lin Youyu... No, I should call you the heiress to the Poison Valley!"
On God Burial Mountain, only the people of the Poison Valley hated her! Yun Xiao annihilated the Poison Valley because he thought they murdered her. She must be from the Poison Valley since she hated her so much!
.
.

Chapter 1549:- Expose Her True Colors (3)
When Lin Youyu heard Yun Luofeng expose her identity, a flustered gleam flashed through her eyes, but she said nonchalantly, "I don't understand what you mean." She would never admit that she had a grudge against Yun Luofeng anyways.
"State Preceptor, she is not lying. You are the heiress to the Poison Valley."
Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind the crowd. The crowd parted and a gentle-looking woman slowly came forward.
Seeing the beautiful woman walking to her, Lin Youyu scowled, "What do you mean, Queen?"
The queen turned her beautiful eyes to Lin Youyu and tightly bit her lips, "State Preceptor, don't deny it. Five days ago, you came to me and told me what happened between you and Yun Luofeng. And you slandered her, claiming that she seduced your father. You hate her so much that you tried to frame her."
Boom!
Anger welled up within Lin Youyu, and she glared at the queen's tender face, "Queen! You... "
"State Preceptor, I pretended to trust you these days just to avenge my sister."
Lin Youyu covered her mouth with her hand, tears running down from her eyes.
However, Xuan Yuan's body shook when he heard this. He tightly clenched his fists.
"What did you say, Queen?"
The queen lowered her eyes and a sinister light flickered across them. After quite a while, she raised her head and looked at the king sadly.
"Your Majesty, I think I have to tell you that the murderer of my sister is State Preceptor!"
She pointed at Lin Youyu, her voice filled with hatred.
"However, our people believed in State Preceptor too much, and no one would believe me even if I told the truth. But I don't want to see her hurting innocent people anymore, so I had to bring the truth to light."
With that, the queen slowly took out a cloth bag from her pocket and opened it carefully. Suddenly, a brown pill came into people's sight.
"I secretly picked up this pill when State Preceptor threw it away. I assure you Miss Yun hasn't touched it. Now can you touch it, State Preceptor?"
In an instant, all eyes, filled with doubts, turned to Lin Youyu.
Lin Youyu was trembling with anger, "Queen, have you forgotten it was you who asked me to deal with your sister two years ago? Now you want to pin it on me?"
The queen covered her mouth in astonishment, and tears fell from her eyes. "She was my sister. How could I kill her? State Preceptor, you pour dirty water on my head to exonerate yourself. Do you think it's going to work?"
Lin Youyu didn't expect that the queen would stand up and plant the crime she committed on her When did she kill her sister? Two years ago, the queen bought a poison from her, and then her sister died. Through examination, she found that what killed her sister was exactly the poison the queen had bought from her. She thought that since she knew the queen's secret she would be able to do whatever she wanted in this country, but she never expected that this woman was so insidious as to pin her crime on her!
"State Preceptor!" Xuan Yuan growled. His eyes turned bloodshot, "did you kill Qing'er?"
His childhood lover, his beloved wife, was murdered by State Preceptor?
.

Chapter 1550:- Expose Her True Colors (4)
He must cut this woman into pieces to avenge her!
Lin Youyu sneered, "Queen, do you think you can safeguard your position by doing this? You've seen what happened to me. Once you become jealous, you will be eternally doomed!"
She underestimated Yun Luofeng, so she lost. As a jealous woman, the queen would never tolerate any woman around the king. If she tried to deal with Yun Luofeng, she would suffer a crushing defeat.
The queen's eyes were grim. However, as she lifted her eyes, she looked sad and fragile again. "State Preceptor, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Humph!" Lin Youyu snorted, "You know it!" After saying this, she didn't say anything more, her face cold.
"State Preceptor, can you explain this to me?" First Elder was confused and after quite a while, he asked angrily.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to State Preceptor. Under their glare, Lin Youyu's face turned increasingly paler.
Yun Luofeng glanced at the queen. If she was right, when the queen met her in the Council of Elders for the first time, she looked rather hostile to her and her eyes were even filled with rage.
Why did she stand up and speak for her?
Yun Luofeng squinted, turned to Lin Youyu and said with a faint smile, "In fact, it was easy to figure it out. The pill was covered with a fatal poison, and anyone who touched it would die within a few days!"
"So, it's not that State Preceptor can predict people's lifespan, but that... she poisoned the people, so they... would definitely die."
Boom!
The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone became angry. However, they restrained their inner impulse and quietly waited for Lin Youyu's explanation.
Lin Youyu gave a sneer and kept silent... not denying Yun Luofeng's charge against her.
"State Preceptor!" First Elder finally lost control of himself and he growled, "Is that true? You don't have the power to prophesy. You just kill people to make your prophecy come true?"
Lin Youyu gave a mocking smile, and her face was filled with sarcasm. She slowly turned her eyes to First Elder, and said coldly, "I could do this because you are too stupid! You should blame yourselves"
She meant that they were deceived by her because they were too stupid. They should blame no one but themselves! At this moment, all the people present couldn't control themselves and swarmed towards Lin Youyu, wishing they could break the woman into pieces.
Even First Elder didn't stop the furious crowd but instead clenched his fists. This woman was able to prophesy people's lifespan because she secretly killed all those people by the date she prophesied. It was ridiculous that he devoutly believed in her and treated her like a god!
"Bitch, you deceived us! You should die a miserable death!"
"I'm going to avenge my countrymen by breaking you to pieces!"
"Damn you! Go to hell! You evil woman! You nearly killed me! I have to torture you to death!"
Among the crowd, the angriest one was the young man who was just saved by Yun Luofeng. If it hadn't been Yun Luofeng, he would have died in the last five days.

Chapter 1551:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (1)
But the one who caused all this was Lin Youyu. Besides, those whose families were killed by Lin Youyu were also furious. They took out weapons and fiercely chopped at Lin Youyu's limbs.
"Ah!"
The sharp pain made Lin Youyu cry out shrilly. Her body was covered with blood and she was trembling.
Yun Luofeng!
It was all Yun Luofeng's fault. If it weren't for this woman, she wouldn't have ended up like this! At the thought of this, she stared at Yun Luofeng venomously, bit her tongue hard and spat a mouthful of blood.
"Yun Luofeng, I curse you that you'll die more miserably than me, haha!" She guffawed, and her laughter was filled with craziness and arrogance.
Xuan Yuan was flustered, "Miss Yun, what should we do? The curse made with the blood of the tongue tip will come true!"
Yun Luofeng was calm. "So what? A curse is just a curse. I don't even fear the gods. Will I be afraid of her curse?"
"Miss Yun..." Xuan Yuan still looked worried.
In their country, they believed that curses made with the blood of the tongue tip were the most powerful and would come true. So... the queen secretly let out a sigh of relief when she heard the one Lin Youyu cursed was Yun Luofeng. A person could only curse once, so she was safe.
Yun Luofeng glanced at Xuan Yuan, "Which one is stronger, the power of a curse or the rules of heaven and earth?"
Xuan Yuan paused and stared at Yun Luofeng in astonishment. "It must be the rules of heaven and earth."
Hearing his words, Yun Luofeng laughed.
"Even the rules of heaven and earth can't bind me, so what can a curse do to me?" She gave a sneer, and her face looked so domineering, "If the heaven wants me to die, I'll smash the heaven first! If a person wants me to die, I'll kill all his family first! If a god wants to slaughter me, I will slaughter all the gods and Buddha first. Then, let's see who can kill me!"
Yun Luofeng wasn't even afraid of the gods. Would she be afraid of a little curse?
If anyone wanted to kill her, she would make him disappear first...
Xuan Yuan was astounded at Yun Luofeng's shocking words. He gasped and couldn't utter a single word, but...
First Elder who was standing on the side was very dissatisfied with her words and frowned.
"Miss Yun, I appreciate you exposing the true colors of State Preceptor, but you can't insult the gods! The rules of heaven and earth cannot be broken by ordinary people. We should respect the gods... "
Yun Luofeng cast a cold glanced at First Elder and stopped his chatter.
"It is your business to fear gods, but I don't have anything to fear! Since you worship the gods so devoutly, why didn't they come to save you?"
In this country, gods were their beliefs. They respected gods, though they were only an illusory existence. However... after hearing Yun Luofeng's words, the crowd fell silent.
"I think the girl is right. We worshipped gods for so many years, but we are still stuck in this place. Besides, if we don't believe in gods, we wouldn't have taken State Preceptor as a god-sent savior and wouldn't have been deceived by her."
"I think we should find our own way to get out of here, and not just rely on ethereal deities... "
Hearing the public's voice, First Elder turned purple but he couldn't say anything to refute them.

Chapter 1552:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (2)
Not giving him a chance to speak, Yun Luofeng turned her eyes to Xuan Yuan. "Take me to the forbidden area in the back mountain."
Xuan Yuan paused and subconsciously looked up at First Elder.
In his questioning eyes, First Elder sighed and waved helplessly, "Go ahead."
"First Elder!" The queen turned pale, "The forbidden area is too dangerous. Anyone who goes there will die. How can you allow her to enter there?"
Of course, the queen said this not because she was worried about Yun Luofeng. In fact, she hoped Yun Luofeng would die as soon as possible! But from what she knew of Xuan Yuan, if First Elder agreed, he would surely take Yun Luofeng to the forbidden area in the back mountain himself.
So...
Even though she hated Yun Luofeng's guts, she still didn't want First Elder to agree to her request.
Xuan Yuan was a little impatient, "First Elder has agreed. Why are you making a fuss?"
The queen stiffened and slightly lowered her head. She looked aggrieved and bit her lips tightly.
After quite a while, Yun Luofeng's languid voice resounded.
"I'll go to the forbidden area alone. You just need to show me the way."
Xuan Yuan paused and said worriedly, "Miss Yun, the forbidden area is too dangerous. If you go there alone, I'll be worried."
Yun Luofeng helped him and found out the murderer of his beloved woman. How could he sit by and watch her going to the dangerous place alone?
"You can't help me and will only hold me back," Yun Luofeng said flatly, "so I'm going there alone."
Both First Elder and the queen were relieved to hear her words. Neither of them wanted Xuan Yuan to be involved in this matter. Otherwise, it was quite troublesome to select another king...
"Miss Yun, I'll send a guard to escort you to the forbidden area." First Elder smiled and said politely, his tone not as harsh as just now.
Yun Luofeng didn't answer him. To be honest, she didn't like people here except Xuan Yuan...
As for the adventure to the forbidden area in the back mountain, she did it for herself...
...
When the guard left with Yun Luofeng, First Elder withdrew his gaze, turned to Xuan Yuan and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, come with me."
Xuan Yuan nodded and followed him into the Council of Elders. At this moment, no one noticed that the queen, who was standing by Xuan Yuan just now, had disappeared...
In the Council of Elders, all the elders were standing quietly and solemnly. Xuan Yuan was a little apprehensive and wondered what would happen. First Elder and the other elders looked at each other, and looked at Xuan Yuan and sighed, "Your Majesty, we've been hiding something from you, which is the last words of our ancestor."
"Last words?" Xuan Yuan, stunned, asked," what are they?"
First Elder pondered for a while. "Our ancestor's last words are that whoever leads us to leave this place is a god-sent savior who came to save us. That's why I kept asking you to hold gods in awe and veneration over the years!"
"First Elder, you mean..." Xuan Yuan looked up at First Elder in astonishment, "if Yun Luofeng really finds a way out from the forbidden area, she is the one the gods sent to save our country?"
.
.
.
Chapter 1553:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (3)
First Elder shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Even if she does, she can't be the one because she is so disrespectful to gods."
Xuan Yuan could not help clenching his fist and glancing at the window in front of him, with a touch of worry in his eyes. He certainly hoped that Yun Luofeng was the one First Elder mentioned, and then she would survive...
...
In the palace, a beautiful woman fidgeted, and her face was filled with worry. Just then, a maid hurried in, knelt down in front of the woman, and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, just now I overheard the conversation of First Elder and His Majesty... " Then the maid reported the contents of their conversation to her word by word.
The queen lowered her eyes and pondered. After quite a while, she gave a sneer. "A god-sent savior who can take us out of here? So if anyone can find a way out, they would be treated as a god?"
The maid lowered her head and said in a respectful voice, "Yes, First Elder did say so."
The queen rolled her eyes, her grim eyes sparkling with a malevolent light. For some reason, she had a hunch that Yun Luofeng's arrival might be destined. Maybe she could really take them out of here.
"No, I can't just sit around! Only I can be the queen! And the most respected woman must be me!"
Only in this way could she stand beside the king.
If Yun Luofeng died, that would be fine. But if she succeeded, First Elder would probably force her to give way to Yun Luofeng in order to win her over. At that time, how could she refuse? To defend her position and her husband, she must do something!
At this moment, the Empress forgot what Lin Youyu said before she died. All she knew was that Yun Luofeng must die!
"Your Highness..." the imperial maid paused and got up her courage, "Yun Luofeng has already gone to the forbidden area in the back mountain. Without First Elder's consent, we can't go to the back mountain."
"It doesn't matter," the queen smiled insidiously, "I have a way to enter it."
If it were before, the queen would not risk her own life, but now, for her husband, she could not care so much.
"Xiao Chun, I'm going to the back mountain now. If His Majesty comes to see me, you must stop him!"
"Yes, your Highness." Xiao Chun lowered her head again and responded respectfully.
With that, the queen quickly walked out and hurried to the back mountain...
At the entrance to the back mountain, seeing the queen quickly coming towards them, two guards hurriedly blocked her way with their swords and said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, no one can enter the back mountain without the consent of First Elder."
The queen scowled and snapped, "Don't you dare stand in my way! I came here by the order of First Elder. Get out of my way!"
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, but you can't enter the back mountain unless you show me the token of First Elder."
The queen sneered, "First Elder only has one token and he has given it to Miss Yun. Where can I find another one for you?"
"Well..." The guards were speechless and looked at each other, doubting the truth of the queen's words.
The queen's eyes turned colder, "To tell you the truth, I came here because First Elder regretted and asked me to bring Miss Yun back. If Miss Yun dies in the back mountain because of you, can you bear the responsibility?"
.
.
.
Chapter 1554:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (4)
The two guards looked at each other in bewilderment and then said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. Let's go ask First Elder. If he agrees, we'll let you in."
Hearing this, the queen frowned and looked more impatient. The queen flicked her sleeves hard and shouted harshly, "Ok, I'll be waiting for you here. But when you come back, Miss Yun will have died. At that time, if First Elder wants to find out who is to blame, you shall bear the responsibility!"
Hearing this, the guards shuddered, and then they clenched their teeth and said, "Your Highness, please come back soon."
With that said, they parted and made way.
The queen snorted and strode in. The moment she walked into the back mountain, a triumphant smile rose on her lips.
...
In the back mountain, in front of a cave, a girl stopped her steps. Vaguely, she felt a powerful aura coming from the cave, and she still heard the howling of a dragon from it...
"If I'm right, the forbidden area is in the cave."
Yun Luofeng pondered for a moment and slowly walked into the cave. As she entered the cave, she found herself facing a heat wave that was almost pushing her out...
"Master, I feel a very strong power in this cave. The puppet hasn't recovered well enough to block attacks for you. Take care."
Yun Luofeng stroked the jade pendant, which was tied to her neck, with a smile over her lips.
"Okay."
In fact, the jade pendant could withstand a deadly attack for her, or else she wouldn't risk coming here. As she went deeper, the heat wave became more and more intense and was so hot it seemed as if it could bake people to ashes.
Soon...
Yun Luofeng stopped and turned her eyes to the front, her eyes full of surprise and bewilderment.
"That is... "
In a huge deep pit, an ice-blue water dragon was bound by a massive iron chain. Its body was transparent and it was giving out extremely sad roars. Around it there were bright red flames. Being tortured by the hot flames, the water dragon seemed to be in great agony.
In theory, water could restrain fire. However the fire under the body of the water dragon didn't go out but instead burned into its soul. Standing in front of the deep pit, Yun Luofeng could feel its soul trembling.
"Master! Watch out!"
Seeing the huge waves of flame pouncing on her, Xiao Mo nervously shouted. Having her reverie broken, Yun Luofeng moved aside and dodged them.
At this moment, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
If the waves hit her, she would die immediately! No one would be able to save her.
"Master, the fierce flame is the fire of reincarnation that will never go out! You'll die even if a spark of it splatters on you! It's strange that the spirit of the water dragon doesn't die out after staying in the flames for so long."
"Tut tut." As soon as Xiao Mo finished, Bi Xiao gave a sardonic smile, "Haven't you found out why? The water dragon's soul still exists after staying in this soul flame for so long because it has devoured many souls in addition to its own strength. It uses these souls to restore its own soul."
Bi Xiao was the tree of life. She usually stayed silent in the God Code World, but now she could not help cutting in.
.
.

Chapter 1555:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (5)
"Master, those people couldn't go back from here, because they became the nutrient of the water dragon. To avoid such a fate, let's leave here."
Yun Luofeng fell silent. She had a feeling that the water dragon was the key for them to leave this place...
However, not to mention the fierce fire of reincarnation, the water dragon alone was not something she could resist.
"Master, be careful!"
Suddenly, Xiao Mo's anxious voice came from her soul. Yun Luofeng raised her head only to see that the water dragon was staring at her with its fierce eyes, and a powerful attractive force came from its slightly opened mouth.
The attraction force was like a hand, trying to pull her soul into the mouth, and the opened mouth of the water dragon was like a bottomless black hole...
Yun Luofeng clenched her fists. She felt like being pressed by a huge mountain. Unable to move, she could only stare at the water dragon's gaping mouth...
However, at this moment, a sneer came from behind her. "Yun Luofeng, I finally found you. Go to hell!"
Yun Luofeng turned her head around only to see the queen suddenly appear behind her. She reached out her hand and pushed Yun Luofeng into the sea of flames...
At this moment, Yun Luofeng had no time to think about how the queen came here without being noticed by her. Nor did she have the time to think why the queen could come to the back mountain...
All she knew was that there were endless dangers waiting for her below.
Crack!
The jade pendant on her neck was split in two, the rope attached to it broke at the same time, and the jade pendant fell into the flames...
"Roar!"
Seeing its food fall down, the water dragon ignored the queen standing in front of the deep pit whose face was filled with a triumphant smile. It wrapped Yun Luofeng with its tail and its ice-blue eyes were tinged with greed.
...
The Seven Province Continent.
In a remote town, a couple was sitting in an inn for a rest.
Of these two, the man in a brocade robe looked gentle and cultivated, and the woman, with her hair tied up with a red ribbon, was valiant in bearing and charming. Her fiery red robe was gently fluttering in the breeze.
Suddenly, the woman in red turned pale and stood up in shock.
The man paused, looked tenderly at the woman in red and asked, "What happened?"
The woman in red clenched her fists, "Do you remember the jade pendant I gave to Feng'er when I first met her?"
She took a deep breath, "I had worn that jade pendant since childhood. I have a telepathic connection to it! I gave it to Feng'er because the jade pendant could not only save her life but also let me know if she is still alive!"
The man's heart throbbed. He stood up and asked worriedly, "You mean..."
"I can feel that the jade pendant has broken."
The jade pendant was broken. They knew what it meant.
It meant that Yun Luofeng was having a fatal crisis...
"I'm going to find Feng'er and Xiao'er!" The woman in the red looked domineering and her voice sounded resolute, "If I find out the one who dares to touch my daughter-in-law, I will torture her to death!"
...
At the same time, Grandfather Jun, who was teaching his disciple at the Jun Family, seemed to feel something and spat out a mouthful of blood.
.
.
.
Chapter 1556:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (6)
"Master?"
Jun Xuan's face greatly changed and he held Grandfather Jun's arms in panic. He was so worried that he almost cried out, "Master, it's my fault. I shouldn't make you so angry. Look, you even spit out blood! I promise I will obey you in everything and never make you angry."
Jun Xuan thought Grandfather Jun spat out blood because he was too angry at him.
However...
Grandfather Jun's face was pale and sad.
"Feng'er... is dead."
"What?" Jun Xuan widened his eyes in shock and stared at Grandfather Jun, "It's impossible. You've given her the soul jade pendant. If she is in danger, she can break the jade pendant and you'll go save her. But she hasn't broken it, so I think she is safe."
Grandfather Jun shook his head sadly, "If Feng'er really breaks the soul jade pendant, it means the danger she encountered can be solved! The fact that she didn't even touch the jade pendant proves that even if I show up, I won't be able to save her. From what I know of her, she wouldn't get me involved if she knew she was going to die!"
Besides the jade pendant gifted by Jun Fengling, Yun Luofeng also carried a soul jade pendant that Grandfather Jun gave to her before she left with her. It was because of this soul jade pendant that Grandfather Jun sensed that Yun Luofeng was in deadly peril.
Maybe she no longer existed in this world...
Two lines of tears ran down from Grandfather Jun's eyes, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let her go to the God Burial Mountain alone."
In the corner of the courtyard, Jun Ling'er hid behind the wall. Maybe Grandfather Jun was so sad that he didn't realize that Jun Ling'er had heard his words.
At this moment, Jun Ling'er was trembling all over, her face covered with tears.
Sister Yun died?
Sister Yun, who protected her from Cao Yueqin, was dead?
That was impossible!
How could Sister Yun who was so powerful and domineering die?
Grandpa must be lying.
Jun Ling'er tightly bit her lips, turned around and walked outside the Jun Family. She just walked a few steps before she was caught by a hand behind her.
"Ling'er, where are you going?"
Jun Ling'er trembled, with her back to the man behind, and a resolute gleam flickered across her slightly lowered eyes. "Yifei, I'm just going out for a walk... "
"Go out for a walk? I think... you're going to God Burial Mountain, right?"
Hua Yifei stared at Jun Ling'er intently. Under his stare, Jun Ling'er had nowhere to hide.
"Yifei, I just want to check whether Sister Yun is really dead."
"No, it's too dangerous. You can't go there!" Hua Yifei tightly held Jun Ling's hand and said.
Jun Ling'er looked sad, and her lank body looked even a bit piteous.
Even so, her voice was still resolute. "When Cao Yueqin bullied me, she was the one who stood up to protect me! Even my father asked me to just endure Cao Yueqin, but she insisted on giving Cao Yueqin a lesson! Yifei, in this world, besides Grandpa, only you and her would stand beside me regardless of everything. Even my father can't do this..."
Jun Ling'er didn't mean to blame Jun Xuan. After all, as master of the Jun Family, Jun Xuan had to consider a lot of things. She just wanted to tell Hua Yifei the reason why she had to go to the God Mountain.
"Ling'er..."
.
.
.
Chapter 1557:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (7)
Hua Yifei felt his heart skip a beat. Just then, Jun Ling'er suddenly turned her head around and kissed his lips. The sudden movement stunned Hua Yifei, and then dizziness came over him and he stumbled.
"Ling'er, you... "
Bang!
Hua Yifei didn't finish speaking when he fell on the ground and lost all his senses.
"Yifei, I'm sorry, but I have to go to God Burial Mountain."
She wiped the corners of her mouth, turned and walked out, not even looking back at Hua Yifei. She was afraid that one more look would make her reluctant to leave...
"Young Master Yifei, Young Master Yifei!
A passing servant, seeing Hua Yifei lying unconsciously on the ground, cried out anxiously, "Come on, Young Master Yifei has fainted."
At the moment, Grandfather Jun was still in grief. Hearing the servant's voice, he had no time to recover from the pain before he walked quickly to the front yard.
"Master, Yifei, what's going on?"
Jun Xuan frowned. Crises came one after another! Whether Yun Luofeng was alive or dead remained unknown, and Hua Yifei suddenly fell into a coma.
"By the way, where is Ling'er?"
Normally, if Hua Yifei fainted, Jun Ling'er would surely be the first to come to him. But why hadn't she shown up now today?
Grandfather Jun straightened up and waved, asking servants to take Hua Yifei to his room.
"You don't need to look for Ling'er," he said to Jun Xuan.
"Master?" Jun Xuan looked at Grandfather Jun in surprise. What did Master mean?
"Yifei fell into a coma because he was drugged... by Ling'er."
"What?"
Jun Xuan was dumbfounded. Ling'er and Hua Yifei were in love with each other. Why did she drug him?
Grandfather Jun shook his head in a wry smile, "If I have guessed correctly, Ling'er must have gone to God Burial Mountain because she overheard our conversation and heard that Feng'er had died."
Jun Xuan's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly ordered, "Guards, find Miss and bring her back home!"
Grandfather Jun didn't stop Jun Xuan. He was too old to bear the pain of losing another family member...
"Xuan'er, please take care of the Jun Family for me. I will be away for some time."
"Master, where are you going?"
Grandfather Jun took a deep breath, suppressed the surging grief in his heart, and slowly said, "I must find Feng'er no matter whether she is dead or alive. Even if Feng'er is dead, I will take her body out of God Burial Mountain and bury her."
"Master."
Jun Xuan hugged Grandfather Jun in fright and said nervously, "You can't go there. The Jun Family can't go on without you. And I don't want to lose you!"
"Alas." Grandfather Jun sighed and slowly raised his hand as if he was going to stroke Jun Xuan's head. Although Jun Xuan was so dignified and commanding in the Jun Family, he was always like a child before his Master, so it was not surprising that Grandfather Jun would do this.
"Master..." Jun Xuan's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his head and waited for the caress of his Master. However, what awaited him was not the caress of his Master...
With a thud, Grandfather Jun's hand hit him hard on the forehead. Jun Xuan immediately saw stars. He felt dizzy and fell backward.
Before he fell into unconsciousness, Jun Xuan just said, "Master, you're so cruel to me!"
.

Chapter 1558:- Forbidden Area in the Back Mountain (8)
Looking at Jun Xuan who had fallen to the ground, Grandfather Jun turned to the Jun Family people and ordered flatly, "Take him to his room, and he'll wake up in half a day."
"Yes, Old Master." The Jun Family people responded, the corners of their mouths twitching.
They finally figured out who Miss learned from...
Staying with Old Master for so many years, she had become as crude as Old Master. Miss drugged Hua Yifei, and then Old Master knocked Master out...
Grandfather Jun slowly turned around and walked to the door...
...
God Burial Mountain, the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Inside the huge deep pit, the fiery red flames were dancing wildly.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her own hand, her wicked eyes filled with surprise.
"Haven't I died yet?
When she came back to herself, she found herself in a protective circle where no flame could reach her...
"Master, this is the effect of the jade pendant that Jun Fengling gave to you. The protective barrier can only last for a small period of time, during which no attack will be able to injure you. However, once this time is over, you won't have any other way to resist the flames."
Yun Luofeng only knew the jade pendant could block a fatal attack for her but didn't know how. Now she realized that there was a seal in the jade pendant. Once she was in danger, the seal would automatically unlock and produce a protective barrier to protect her.
"Xiao Mo, Bi Xiao, can you resist the fire of reincarnation for me for a while?" Yun Luofeng pondered for a while and asked, "If I'm not disturbed by it, I may have a chance to subdue the water dragon."
Outside the protective film, the water dragon was staring menacingly at Yun Luofeng. His ferocious eyes were greedy and angry. The food, which had almost fallen into his mouth, flew away in such a way that no one would feel happy.
"Master," Bi Xiao's clear voice slowly rang, "My tree of life can protect you from the fire of reincarnation for a quarter of an hour, but remember, you only have a quarter of an hour, and once the time is over, I can't help you."
A quarter of an hour?
Yun Luofeng slightly nodded, "That's enough."
At this point, the film that was protecting her was fading away as if it would disappear at any moment. The water dragon became excited because he could imagine how the soul of this woman would become its food.
Pop!
The protective film burst like a bubble, and at the same time, a pale green light surrounded Yun Luofeng. It dispersed the flames that were going to devour her and kept her cool and comfortable.
"Roar!"
Although surprised by the retreat of the fire of reincarnation, the water dragon didn't hesitate much and rushed violently towards Yun Luofeng. Yun Luofeng was blown away by his huge tail. With a 'blech', she vomited a mouthful of blood and turned pale. She wiped the blood from her lower mouth and looked at the giant dragon with wariness and resolution.
"You're just the soul of a giant dragon. I will be able to subdue you!"
Provoked by Yun Luofeng, the water dragon became angrier and his eyes were filled with rage. He fiercely shook the iron chain around his body, and it clattered...
.
.
.
Chapter 1559:- Hot as Ice (1)
"Roar!"
The water dragon let out a roar and swung his tail at Yun Luofeng, trying to kill the woman in front of him.
Bang!
Yun Luofeng was thrown back and hit the rock wall hard. She lifted her head and wiped the blood from her lower mouth. Her mocking eyes were filled with amusement.
"Come again!"
In an instant, she rushed to the front of the water dragon, grabbed the horns of the dragon and climbed up to his head.
"Roar!"
The water dragon became furious and spat a mouthful of flames. However, Yun Luofeng had climbed onto his head, so the flames just hit the wall and were devoured by the fire of reincarnation.
"If you were still alive, I might fear you, but you are only a soul now!"
In the beginning, the water dragon didn't take the woman in white seriously. He shook his head desperately, trying to shake her off his head. But then, he was scared by the woman's next move...
The woman laid down on his head to keep her balance, and then... opened her mouth, bit at his head, tore a piece of his soul off, and chewed and swallowed it.
"Owww!"
The intense pain made the water dragon tremble all over. He could not help but wail. His whole body was twisted in pain and he shook his body desperately to get Yun Luofeng off his head. However...
The woman still tightly held onto his horns and gnawed at his soul.
"Since you want to devour my soul, I shall devour yours first!"
Tear!
Another sharp pain.
The water dragon was no longer as domineering and unruly as it used to be. He looked at her with pleading eyes and whined miserably. He seemed to be begging for mercy, begging Yun Luofeng to let it go.
"Let you go?" Yun Luofeng sneered, "If it was me who was defeated, would you let me go?"
If she lost, she would surely be devoured by the water dragon. Then she'd rather devour his soul first...
"Owww!"
The water dragon hit the rock wall hard with his body in agony, and his voice became more angry and painful. If Yun Luofeng hadn't climbed onto his head, he would have cut this woman into pieces!
Feeling the killing intent of the water dragon, Yun Luofeng gnawed at his soul more and more quickly.
Gradually, the water dragon's spirits sagged. Not resisting her attacks as fiercely as just now, he looked so weak as if he would disappear at any time...
Seeing the water dragon no longer be able to resist her, Yun Luofeng brought out the gold-seeking hamster tribe. In an instant, numerous gold-seeking hamsters surrounded the water dragon, bit its soul with sharp teeth, and ate it with gusto.
Soon, the whole water dragon had been digested in the stomachs of Yun Luofeng and the gold-seeking hamsters. When Yun Luofeng took the hamsters back to the God Code World, she suddenly felt that there was a powerful force racing through her body...
"Master, hurry up, sit down and suppress the power of the water dragon, or else your body may explode."
Xiao Mo's anxious voice came out.
This time, Yun Luofeng was really too impulsive. Unlike gold-seeking hamsters, she couldn't directly digest the soul of the water dragon. If not handled properly, the power contained in this soul would explode within her body...
Not having time to ponder, Yun Luofeng hurriedly sat down with her knees crossed and tried to digest the power in her body, ignoring the fire of reincarnation.
.
.
.
Chapter 1560:- Hot as Ice (2)
"No!"
Bi Xiao felt her heart sink. Her power couldn't resist the fire of reincarnation for long. If Yun Luofeng didn't leave soon, the fire of reincarnation would devour her in an instant!
However, it was too late for her to leave the pit, and the soul power within her body might explode...
At this time, Bi Xiao felt that the fire of reincarnation around Yun Luofeng was about to move. A moment later, when the green light surrounding Yun Luofeng disappeared, the fire of reincarnation instantly went up and buried her in the deep pit.
Not as frightened as Bi Xiao and the others, Xiao Mo looked calm, but his bright eyes were still filled with nervousness and anxiety.
"If it were before, Master will be wiped out by the fire of reincarnation right away. However, don't forget that the water dragon has lived here for so many years, which proves his soul is very powerful! Therefore, after devouring his soul, Master won't be killed so easily... "
Xiao Mo tightly clenched his fists and pondered.
"I asked Master to absorb the soul of the water dragon because the fire of reincarnation will suppress the power of the water dragon. If Master can hold on, she will be able to improve her strength to a higher level, but if she can't..."
Xiao Mo suddenly shuddered, but a confident gleam flickered across his eyes.
"No, my master will be able to make it!"
...
At the foot of the back mountain, the queen ran down the mountain in a hurry. However, at this time, she saw Xuan Yuan rushing towards her, followed by a lot of guards. She felt her heart skip a beat and turned ghastly pale.
"Your Majesty... "
Xuan Yuan angrily rushed up to her, slapped her hard on the cheek and shouted angrily, "Who allowed you to enter the back mountain?"
The queen tightly bit her lips and burst into tears. She covered her face with her hands, her eyes so sad. This was the first time the Emperor slapped her...
For Yun Luofeng!
Luckily, the woman had died and no one would be able to steal her husband from her!
Thinking of this, the queen lowered her eyes, and a grim and ferocious gleam flashed through her eyes...
"Guards, tie the Empress up and send her to the Council of Elders to receive punishment!"
Xuan Yuan coldly glanced at the queen, flicked his sleeves hard and walked away.
...
The Council of Elders.
It was quiet and solemn.
Looking at the queen who was tied up, Elder First said slowly, "Queen, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
The queen bit her lips tightly, "First Elder, I was worried about Miss Yun, so I went to the back mountain to stop her, but I didn't find her, so I came back."
First Elder wouldn't agree with the king to divorce her, but...
The king disliked her and would never look at her. So she must not admit what she had done!
"Queen, even if you didn't do anything wrong, you have to be punished because you went to the back mountain without permission!" First Elder said harshly and his eyes were chilly. "Guards, lock her up. She shall ponder over her mistakes for the next three months!"
"Yes, First Elder."
Two guards came forward and beckoned the queen, "Your Highness, this way please."
The queen smiled sadly and gazed at Xuan Yuan, her eyes so grieved.
"Your Majesty, whatever I do, it's for you, but you hurt me every time."
Xuan Yuan paused and looked at her only to see the queen's beautiful, piteous eyes. Even though he had no feelings for this woman, he felt guilty at this moment...
