Chapter 252: The Mystery of Green Sparrow Palace

The arrival of Zhang Yang and Bing Yuyan at Green Sparrow Palace was taken very seriously. Their presence provided indirect support, ensuring that all the Great Boundless experts faced no difficulties while they were occupied elsewhere.

Thus, as Zhang Yang and Bing Yuyan ventured deeper into the palace, they encountered no obstacles.

They quickly reached the source of the unusual energy fluctuations, only to be blocked by two extraordinarily brave female generals—both Small Boundless experts.

Their stance was unwavering.

“Grand Elder Mu Lanxin has ordered that no one is allowed to set even half a foot inside.”

Bing Yuyan’s expression darkened.

Her seemingly carefree and reckless demeanor masked a domineering nature, one that acted without hesitation. In an instant, she unleashed an overwhelming pressure, causing the two Small Boundless experts to tremble and struggle to breathe.

“Get out of the way.”

Her tone was absolute.

Zhang Yang considered intervening but hesitated—perhaps this was the easier approach. This was no time for politeness.

The earlier energy fluctuations had been ominous—too cruel, saturated with overwhelming killing intent. Anyone with an unstable mindset could be severely affected. This was a clear sign that something was terribly wrong.

“That’s impossible, we…”

The two Small Boundless experts hesitated but remained firm.

Bing Yuyan dismissed their resistance and took a step forward, unleashing another surge of oppressive force.

Zhang Yang spoke coldly, “Something has gone wrong inside. Look at the protective forbidden laws behind you, they’re already showing signs of cracking. If you remain stubborn, external forces could cause them to shatter completely, leading to unimaginable consequences. If you let us through, I will take full responsibility.”

The two Small Boundless experts wavered.

Zhang Yang’s gaze remained sharp.

Bing Yuyan raised her voice impatiently. “The Master of the Vast Forest will take responsibility for you! What’s there to fear? Move aside!”

Finally, the two women lowered their heads and stepped aside, allowing them through the seemingly fragile forbidden laws.

Inside, they found a small palace. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, except for a passageway along the palace walls.

As they ventured deeper, the passage extended underground, reaching depths of over a thousand meters.

What lay before them was a shattered ancient square, engulfed by a sinister Demon Intent.

Wisps of demonic fire flickered from the ruins of colossal stone pillars, forming forbidden laws that sealed the entire area.

As the eerie aura reached the tunnel entrance, additional forbidden laws shrouded the Demon Intent, revealing its presence.

Something truly terrifying lay hidden within.

Amidst the demon fire and forbidden laws, a massive green divine sparrow, towering at ten meters tall, radiated overwhelming ferocity and chilling killing intent. Its powerful Great Boundless aura carried a faint trace of holy energy.

The divine sparrow thrashed wildly, screeching, its fierce eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Yang noticed a faint hint of darkness tainting the green feathers.

Surrounding the divine sparrow, twelve Great Boundless women exerted their full strength to suppress it.

They were at their limits, sweat poured from their foreheads, and their breaths came in ragged gasps.

Yet, despite their combined effort and the reinforcement of the demon fire’s forbidden laws, they still struggled to contain the divine sparrow, which was on the verge of breaking free.

Zhang Yang felt a surge of shock.

Not only was the divine sparrow formidable, but he also hadn’t expected the seemingly low-profile Green Sparrow Palace to house twelve Great Boundless experts. Even in their exhausted state, their strength was undeniable. It was clear they had been forged through years of battle against this divine sparrow.

The most striking among them was Mu Lanxin.

As the Grand Elder, she stood at the Great Boundless Perfect Stage, exuding a commanding and formidable aura that made her the leading force of the group.

Zhang Yang quickly assessed the situation. Without hesitation, he retrieved a small vial from his storage bag, uncorked it, and flicked his fingers twelve times.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Twelve drops of Sacred Life Water landed on the foreheads of the twelve Great Boundless experts.

Instantly, their exhaustion began to fade as their energy rapidly recovered.

"That’s too wasteful," Mu Lanxin remarked.

For Green Sparrow Palace, such lavish spending was unheard of.

This kind of poverty stemmed from pouring all their resources into battling the divine sparrow, leaving them unable to focus on anything else—it was as if they were simply watching their wealth deplete while barely keeping their sect afloat.

Zhang Yang, unconcerned, replied, "No worries, I have plenty."

Casually tossing the vial of Sacred Life Water to Mu Lanxin, he added, "This is for you, Senior."

Mu Lanxin and the twelve Great Boundless experts stared at him in stunned silence.

They had just witnessed him gift an entire vial without hesitation, and now, another one appeared so effortlessly.

Bing Yuyan rolled her eyes. She understood Zhang Yang’s intentions all too well, he had clearly taken an interest in Green Sparrow Palace.

If this power were to join the Vast Forest…

Standing proudly beside Zhang Yang, arms crossed, she ignored the twelve Great Boundless experts, keeping her gaze fixed on the divine sparrow.

"This is our palace master, Li Qingsparrow," Mu Lanxin stated, sensing there was no need for further explanation.

Zhang Yang wasn’t surprised.

This place was right next to the Forbidden Land.

All the surviving races within the Forbidden Land belonged to the Demon Race. Not long ago, the troublemaker who called himself Thunder Wolf had secretly been manipulated by the Sparrow Prince. It would have been strange if there were no connections here.

He suspected that the Demon Sparrow Race had discovered something and was deliberately testing them.

That was why Mu Lanxin had invited him here—it was meant to keep watch.

"If any problems arise during the palace master’s path to enlightenment, we cannot resolve them," Mu Lanxin admitted, fatigue evident in her voice. "The Major Holy Places of the Southern Region strictly forbid the birth of any new saints outside their circle, leading to years of suppression."

After so many years, Green Sparrow Palace had sacrificed too much and was utterly drained.

Ironically, their exhaustion had forged twelve incredibly powerful Great Boundless experts.

"This isn’t a long-term solution either," Zhang Yang said. "If you trust me, I can invite a sage from the Vast Forest to assist you."

Pausing, he added, "Oh, by the way, Palace Master’s sworn brother, Yi Qianqiu, was rescued by me and has already joined the Vast Forest. Due to a century of wear and tear, he is barely surviving and is currently in seclusion, but he can also help in a critical moment."

Mu Lanxin’s eyes lit up with joy.

The other eleven Great Boundless experts were equally elated.

"Hiss~~"

A sudden, furious roar erupted from the divine sparrow.

It was unclear whether Yi Qianqiu’s name had triggered something, but the beast trembled violently.

Its massive body shook the ground beneath them.

Its fierce eyes glowed with menace, wings spreading wide as if ready to go berserk.

Mu Lanxin and the Great Boundless experts of Green Sparrow Palace immediately moved to suppress it.

Bang!

Bing Yuyan was faster. Before the divine sparrow could unleash its fury, she struck it on the head with the Ice Spirit Holy Sword.

Bang!

The divine sparrow’s head slammed into the ground, shaking the earth. Its eyes rolled back, and it collapsed, unconscious.

Bing Yuyan muttered, "What a hassle."

Mu Lanxin and the twelve Great Boundless experts displayed clear expressions of displeasure.

They felt some resentment toward Bing Yuyan’s actions.

Now that they had regained their strength, they were more than capable of suppressing the divine sparrow themselves.

However, since they had just received Zhang Yang’s generous gift and needed his help, they held back their complaints.

Mu Lanxin spoke, "Actually, we don’t necessarily need a sage; a Mind Lotus would suffice. The palace master is mainly afflicted by inner demons."

Zhang Yang smiled. "Mind Lotus? Isn’t that a holy treasure? Alright, I’ll take care of it. By the way, Yilie and Su Baishi are currently figuring out how to acquire treasures for me."

"Just wait a day or two; I’ll handle it right now."

His straightforwardness left Mu Lanxin and the Great Boundless experts stunned.

They had spent countless years trying without success, yet Zhang Yang spoke as if it were a trivial matter.

Zhang Yang turned to leave.

But then, something unexpected happened.

The divine sparrow, awakening from unconsciousness, abruptly opened its eyes and fired a beam of green light directly at Zhang Yang.
