Chapter 1111 Lower Realm
A few days later.
Knock, knock, knock—!
An Qingyu gently knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Lin Qiye’s voice came from behind the door. An Qingyu pushed the door open and saw a figure with bare upper body nimbly flipping between a pair of parallel bars in the courtyard.
Seeing An Qingyu enter, the figure came down directly from the bars. Sweat slid down his well-proportioned back as he picked up a towel from the side to wipe the sweat from his brow and asked, “Qingyu? Is there something you need?”
“No, I just came to see how your recovery is going.” A gray light flashed in An Qingyu’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Looks pretty good.”
“Yes, physically I’ve basically recovered to my previous level, and my mental power has even improved somewhat…” Lin Qiye put on his shirt and took a deep breath.
“It’s about time we go down to the mortal realm.”
“In a hurry?”
“I suppose so?” Lin Qiye sighed. “Michael came to urge me yesterday, seemingly worried that if we delay too long, something unexpected might happen.”
“What about Cao Yuan?”
“How is he doing?”
“…” An Qingyu hesitated. “You… should go see for yourself.”
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
…
A few minutes later, the two were standing in the center of the octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake.
“Hehe… Se… hehe… Seven, you… hehe… came?”
Cao Yuan sat in the center of the octagonal pavilion, sometimes normal, sometimes giggling foolishly. Half of his body had returned to normal, while the other half still occasionally sprouted black flames, his expression incredibly strange.
Lin Qiye: …
“What’s going on here?” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but ask.
“The Star of Venus said he has controlled half of the Black King and is out of life-threatening danger, but it will take some more time to fully regain control of his body.” An Qingyu shook his head helplessly. “Looking at this situation, he can’t come with us…”
“So it’s just the five of us going? That works.”
“Maybe four.”
Just as Lin Qiye finished speaking, a voice came from the corridor. He turned to look and saw Bai Li Pangpang walking toward them with Shen Qingzhu.
It was Bai Li Pangpang who had just spoken.
“Pangpang? What’s wrong?”
“Seven, I probably can’t go with you.” Bai Li Pangpang scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, “Old Cao needs someone to take care of him, so I have to stay.”
“Aren’t there maids?”
“It’s not the same. If we all leave, Old Cao won’t have anyone to talk to. We need to leave one of our own.” Bai Li Pangpang insisted. “Besides, aren’t you just going to retrieve something? With Archangel Michael in charge, you should be back soon.
When you return, Old Cao will be fully recovered, and then we can all go down to the mortal realm together.”
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the foolishly grinning Cao Yuan, and then nodded. “Alright… the four of us will go then.”
“Good, I’ll just gather my research materials, and we can set off right away.”
An Qingyu turned and left. Soon Lin Qiye also walked out of the octagonal pavilion, as he needed to find Michael to inform him of their departure time.
Shen Qingzhu was about to leave when a hand was placed on his shoulder.
“Brother Zhuai, wait a moment.” Bai Li Pangpang said.
Shen Qingzhu turned around and looked at him questioningly.
“Take this.” Bai Li Pangpang took out a black jade pendant from his pocket and placed it in Shen Qingzhu’s palm.
“What is this?”
“Hmm… it’s a forbidden object, similar to the [Heaven-Returning Jade], but more powerful.” Bai Li Pangpang explained. “The [Heaven-Returning Jade] can only help you resist one soul attack and keep you alive, but this jade pendant can bring you back to life.”
“Back to life?” Shen Qingzhu stood frozen. “There’s such a forbidden object?”
After he came to his senses, he immediately stuffed the jade pendant back into Bai Li Pangpang’s hand, shaking his head. “This is too valuable. You should keep it for yourself.”
“Brother Zhuai, I won’t need this staying in the Heavenly Palace.” Bai Li Pangpang grinned and forced the jade back. “Just consider it another favor you owe me… like when I gave you the [Heaven-Returning Jade] last time. If you don’t use it, just return it to me when you come back.”
With things said to this point, Shen Qingzhu didn’t refuse anymore and solemnly put away the jade pendant.
“…Thank you.”
Half an hour later.
At the South Heavenly Gate.
Lin Qiye, An Qingyu, Jiang Er, and Shen Qingzhu had packed their luggage and were ready to depart.
“Where’s Michael?” An Qingyu asked puzzledly. “Wasn’t he supposed to take us?”
“He should be here soon.”
Lin Qiye looked down at the time. Just as he was about to say something, a figure with six pure white wings on its back, dozens of meters tall, gently fluttered its wings, directly flashing through space, and silently hovered in the sky.
The moment he appeared, a suffocating pressure descended upon An Qingyu and the others!
However, this pressure only existed for an extremely short time. The next moment, the figure took a step forward, rapidly shrinking in size, transforming into an ordinary Western man with golden hair, landing on the ground. Only those golden eyes, still like burning furnaces, emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.
His gaze lightly swept over the three people excluding Lin Qiye.
An Qingyu and the others instinctively averted their gaze, avoiding eye contact. Even though Michael had restrained his pressure as much as possible, not everyone could withstand his gaze.
Perhaps only Lin Qiye, as the proxy, could naturally make eye contact and communicate with him.
“Everyone’s here.” Lin Qiye took the initiative to speak. “We can go now.”
“Mm.”
Michael nodded slightly.
The six huge wings on his back spread out, enveloping all four of them. Brilliant golden light surged out like a tide, and the next moment, everyone disappeared from the spot.
…
Outside the Lingxiao Palace.
Bai Li Pangpang stood alone in front of the palace gate, looking toward the South Heavenly Gate. After seeing their figures disappear, he let out a long sigh.
“You’re not going with them?” The Primordial Heavenly Lord walked out from the palace and spoke leisurely.
“I can’t enter the place they’re going to.”
“…Indeed.”
The Primordial Heavenly Lord was silent for a moment before speaking again, “I thought you were giving that [Source Path Jade] to Lin Qiye for protection. I didn’t expect you to give it to him… That’s a supreme treasure that can resurrect even a Law-Rule Body nine times.”
“Seven doesn’t need such things for protection, but Brother Zhuai is different.” Bai Li Pangpang paused, his gaze slightly focused. “Besides, for some reason, I feel uneasy…”
“Your cultivation hasn’t returned yet, and the heavenly mechanisms cannot be calculated. Perhaps it’s just your imagination.”
The Primordial Heavenly Lord shook his head.
Bai Li Pangpang looked in the direction where everyone had left.
“I hope so.”
