"Can you find where that aura is coming from?"
Lin Qiubai indeed had some peculiar methods, but the Palace was vast, and within a day, the climate could vary greatly between different halls.
It was extremely difficult to pinpoint a faint aura that even experts from the Life Profound Realm could not handle.
Shang Yun suspiciously rubbed against Lin Qiubai's face.
"Don't worry, I have special methods to deal with Evil Cultivators."
Lin Qiubai closed his eyes, his heart racing, beating faster than usual.
It felt like sharpening a blade, a bloodthirsty impulse.
If it were at another time, Lin Qiubai might have turned and left indifferently upon encountering an Evil Cultivator, as if they were two unrelated streams.
But ever since he stood on the opposite side of the Evil Cultivators,
Lin Qiubai had transformed into a bloodthirsty butcher. He feared he would not be able to kill them all; those who deserved to die would meet a brutal end.
In Lin Qiubai's heart, there was no trace of mercy.
Perhaps ever since he was able to disrupt Fortune, he had subconsciously placed himself in a superior position.
All the powerful figures in the world could be treated as mere prey, slaughtered at will. No matter how strong or capable they were, they were just larger Fortune Vessels.
Is it worth wasting even a bit of emotion on the Fortune Vessel?
Feeling the cold aura emanating from Lin Qiubai, Shang Yun shivered slightly, but was soon enveloped by a warm embrace around her wrist.
"I'll accompany you tonight to investigate. It's too difficult for you to go alone."
If Lin Qiubai directly said they could find the Evil Cultivator, Shang Yun would definitely not believe it. However, if it came from a place of concern for her, she allowed it!
Lin Qiubai suspected that there must be an Evil Cultivator within the Palace.
The Evil Cultivator had infiltrated extensively, seemingly everywhere.
Even the Third Palace Master of Yihua Sacred Palace was an Evil Cultivator. Lin Qiubai was unsure about Yun Yin Sheng Zong, but had not discovered anything so far.
However, Shang Yun had found evidence of the Evil Cultivator in the Palace.
Naturally, they needed to eliminate it.
"Alright, you can come with me. But you must stay close to my side; I'm afraid there might be powerful opponents among those Evil Cultivators who are at the late stage of Nirvana Realm."
Shang Yun was very caring; when the time came, she would surely protect Lin Qiubai fiercely, but if unexpected situations arose, she might find herself stretched too thin.
"Don't worry."
Feeling that tender and caring concern, Lin Qiubai was slightly moved. She reached out to touch Shang Yun's cool and soft long hair and said decisively.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
A figure quietly floated over the palace wall; it was Shang Yun, with Lin Qiubai following closely behind. Shang Yun was cautious, moving not with great speed but rather steadily, while Lin Qiubai was enhanced by a teleportation ability, making their speeds comparable.
The guards standing beneath the palace wall were all Transcendents of Creation and were unaware of the near-silent movements akin to the gentle breeze of Azure Wind.
Shang Yun and Lin Qiubai swiftly entered deeper into the Palace under the cover of night.
"I felt that strange aura that flashed by right here. But trying to trace it again, I can no longer find it," Shang Yun said.
Hearing this, Lin Qiubai looked down.
This was an Imperial Garden.
There were no treasures above King-Level in the vicinity.
Lin Qiubai felt a bit disappointed but quickly adjusted his mindset, allowing Demon Wugui to sense if there were any traces of Gu Worms nearby.
Demon Wugui's intent to shield against heavenly perception slowly spread out, and after a few breaths, a piece of information entered Lin Qiubai's mind.
There were numerous traces of Gu Worm activity within the Palace!
They were almost spread throughout the entire Palace.
But that origin points deep into the Northern Palace.
"Deep within the Northern Palace."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yun was taken aback. The Northern Palace is where the Royal Tomb is located, and it is not easy for ordinary people to enter. Unless one is the Supreme Emperor or a previous king, entering would mean certain death.
Has the Evil Cultivator actually infiltrated the Royal Tomb?
If that is the case, have the Supreme Emperor and his predecessors encountered the Evil Cultivator?
Shang Yun was filled with doubts. She had been to the Palace twice before, but had never disturbed these people.
Because she could not be sure that these royal relatives, who shared her bloodline, had no ill intentions.
One must always be cautious of others.
Moreover, she did not want to meddle in state affairs. Since she had no intention of intervening, she certainly could not allow those royal relatives to take advantage of her strength and act with impunity.
However, with Evil Cultivators roaming in the Palace, she could not stand by idly.
If the Evil Cultivator corrupts members of the Royal Family, then the merchants' world would surely be doomed. This was something Shang Yun could not bear to see.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Shang Yun had remained silent for a long time, Lin Qiubai asked.
"Nothing much... It's just that the Northern region is the Royal Tomb. Do Evil Cultivators really lurk there?"
"Not far from the East, there are also some strong traces. We can go take a look and confirm whether my judgment is true or false."
Lin Qiubai felt relieved; his perception, coming from Demon Wugui, would not be wrong in the slightest. However, Shang Yun did not know that Lin Qiubai had Demon Wugui.
So it was only natural for her to be skeptical.
Nevertheless, Lin Qiubai did not mind. He swiftly leaped through the palace buildings and soon arrived at a Palace.
Young Grace Palace.
"Young Grace Palace means young and possessing the grace of a phoenix. This is where the little princesses reside. Of course, unmarried princesses who have grown up also live here. Are there Evil Cultivators inside?"
Shang Yun's pretty face showed even more confusion.
"Follow me."
Lin Qiubai spoke concisely, his figure flickering as he arrived above one of the side halls. A few Concealment Formations were set up, and then he quietly lifted the roof tiles.
Peering inside.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiubai's expression shifted from slight astonishment to complete disbelief.
The woman sitting in front of the mirror grooming herself was none other than Shang Feng, who had once been entangled with Lin Qiubai in a life-and-death struggle.
She has ambitions that rival those of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
She desires to ascend to the supreme throne of the Golden Throne Hall.
Once, she harbored murderous intent towards Lin Qiubai and even acted on it!
She put Lin Qiubai in a perilous situation!
"Didn't I drain her Fortune? If I drained her Fortune, she should be dead beyond recovery! But why is Shang Feng still living freely?"
The killing intent in Lin Qiubai's eyes flickered and then vanished.
After observing that figure for over ten breaths, Lin Qiubai finally reached a conclusion.
"She has been parasitized by Gu Worm. She is no longer the original princess."
"Let me take a look."
Shang Yun leaned in closer, peering through the cracks to focus on Shang Feng.
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual."
"If you could easily perceive it, would it still be called Gu Worm? Gu is inherently a highly secretive method."
"Is that really true? I feel like you're just talking nonsense seriously."
Shang Yun blinked her bright eyes and looked seriously at Lin Qiubai, trying to find a hint of concealment in Lin Qiubai's pupils.
But Lin Qiubai remained calm, not wanting to fabricate anything at all.
Yet she truly did not believe that Lin Qiubai could have an in-depth understanding of the Evil Cultivator's techniques.
This knowledge was scarcely recorded even in the Royal Family's Library of Ancient Texts.
Unless one encountered a certain Evil Cultivator's Inheritance. But could righteous individuals obtain an Evil Cultivator's Inheritance?
And it would be even more impossible to extract such secrets from the mouth of an Evil Cultivator.
Those Evil Cultivators must have lost their minds to reveal their trump cards!
Thus, few people truly understand the methods of Evil Cultivators.
Could Lin Qiubai understand?
It seemed impossible; Lin Qiubai was still in his early twenties, and his cultivation level was not on par with Shang Yun's. If he could easily locate an Evil Cultivator, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?!
Shang Yun lightly shook her head and patted Lin Qiubai's cheek with her small hand, adopting a sisterly demeanor.
"Never mind, let's just consider this a visit to the Palace to see the Night View..."
