"Cut the crap. Tell me, where are you going?!"
"Over there!" Jin Xuan casually pointed outside the window, and when Huangfu Xiutai turned his head to look, she quickly flicked his finger at his tiger's mouth.
Huangfu Xiutai felt his hand go numb, and subconsciously released the five fingers that were grabbing onto Jin Xuan's wrist. He took this opportunity to float to the entrance of the study room, turned his head and laughed: "Senior Brother, take care!" As she spoke, she was already out of the study.
"Junior Sister!" Huangfu Xiutai took large strides and chased, but when he looked outside, he could no longer see Jin Xuan in the courtyard.
Something had happened, something big must have happened! No matter what kind of situation she encountered in the past, her Junior Sister had never been like this before.
However, Junior Martial Sister's Spiritual Martial Force was not much worse than his own. Who would have the ability to force Junior Martial Sister to this extent? And that was the most terrifying thing.
Thinking about that, Huangfu Xiutai stomped his feet, tied up his cape, and jumped onto the wall, with a few leaps, he disappeared.
Late at night. Divine Pool Forbidden Area, Zhuyu Mountains.
Zhuyu Mountains had always been a place where the Sovereign of Divine Pool cultivated in seclusion, and it was also one of the most important forbidden grounds in the Divine Pool.
Tonight, Jin Xuan had come here. Whether or not the Holy King was Guang Xuanling or not, the key was to see if there was such a skill. And inside the Zhuyu Mountains, there were all kinds of books and skills stored in the world, including the dark type, if there really was a Spirit Soul Devouring skill, then there must be some kind of secret scripture or record.
When Jin Xuan reached the entrance of the Zhuyu Mountains, she was immediately stopped by the guards there. Who dares to trespass into the forbidden grounds? "
"It's me!" Jin Xuan said indifferently as she slowly walked over.
One by one, the guards raised their torches and took a closer look. When they saw who it was, they hurriedly bowed and said, "So it's Elder Jin."
"Holy King has urgent matters to attend to. Get out of the way, you guys." Jin Xuan said coldly.
"This ?" The guards looked at each other, and one of the leader said carefully, "Elder Jin, we ?. We did not receive any orders from the Holy King! "
"Do I really need to inform you all of what the Holy King has told me? Get lost! If you delay matters, don't mention that I won't let you off, even the Holy King won't let you off lightly! " Jin Xuan bellowed.
The guards were frightened to the point that they trembled. Their expressions changed, and without another word, they all stepped back to the side. In Divine Pool, other than the king, the person with the most authority were the elders. Furthermore, there were also precedents where the monarch would meet with the elders during closed door cultivation.
Without even looking at the guards on both sides, Jin Xuan arrogantly walked over. When she entered the Zhuyu Mountains and wasn't in the guards' line of sight anymore, Jin Xuan couldn't help but to let out a long breath.
If the guards insisted on stopping her, she would have no other choice. It was a good thing that she had the status of an elder, so the guards were quite wary of her. There would definitely be no more guards in the forbidden area. There would only be one Holy King in the entire mountain.
Based on Jin Xuan's understanding of Guanghan, he should be cultivating within the Holy Temple at the peak of the mountain.
That Holy Temple was an ancient ruin and what it worshipped was not the God that was revered by the Divine Pool, so there was no service inside. But Holy King liked this Holy Temple, so when he went into closed door cultivation, nine out of ten days would be there.
Moreover, Zhuyu Mountains was located halfway up the mountain, and just happened to be able to avoid Holy King s. This was also the main reason why Jin Xuan dared to infiltrate into Zhuyu Mountains.
The mountain was dark, but luckily the mountain road was flat, so Jin Xuan walked quickly. She only used the time it took to burn an incense stick to walk from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the Book Pavilion.
This Book Pavilion was extremely large, and was constructed from pure stone. It was huge, imposing and spectacular to behold, and just by looking at the Book Pavilion's door, it was already more than three meters tall. Upon entering, the space inside was even wider, and there were even several large halls.
The quality of the books in each hall was different. The books in the first hall were all rolls of paper, and further in, there were also books on silk, sheepskin, bamboo slips, and so on. According to the difference in quality of the books, one could also judge the age of the books.
Inside the Book Pavilion, there was a large hall that was filled with books. Inside, there were all sorts of scrolls, silk scrolls, bamboo scrolls, etc., and every single book was extremely precious and rare. The spirit martial skills recorded within were all unique and rarely seen skills.
After Jin Xuan entered the Book Pavilion, she immediately walked over. She thought that the Spirit Soul Devouring, this kind of secret skill, would definitely be placed here if it was truly placed within the Book Pavilion.
She took out a fire piston from her sleeve, blew on it, and shone it around. She found the lampstand and lit the small oil lamp on it, then held the lamp in one hand as she carefully examined the books on the shelves.
This was also the first time Jin Xuan had entered such a deep place with her Book Pavilion. Looking at the scrolls placed on the shelves, all of them were absolute techniques in the Spirit Martial Realm, these were books that she could not let go of easily. It was a pity that she was not here to learn and gain knowledge, she was looking for the Spirit Soul Devouring that Tang Yin had mentioned.
In such a large hall, with so many bookshelves, how easy would it be to find that book that did not even exist? Jin Xuan searched earnestly and observed carefully, afraid that she would miss something, she picked them up one by one to read carefully.
After an hour had passed, Jin Xuan had only finished inspecting the two bookshelves. Looking ahead, there were still more than ten bookshelves that she had not checked before, she could not help but sigh to herself.
She took a deep breath, braced herself, and continued her search.
Time passed minute by minute, unknowingly, Jin Xuan had already found the sixth bookshelf. As she was flipping through the books, suddenly, a low voice came out from behind her: "Have you found it?"
The sudden question scared Jin Xuan quite a bit, her body felt like it had been electrocuted. She shivered, and immediately after, she turned around and looked into a pair of eyes that looked extremely bright in the darkness.
After clearly seeing the owner of the pair of eyes, Jin Xuan's head also went into a buzzing sound as the book in his hand fell straight to the ground.
"Is This King that terrifying? Elder Jin seems to have been scared by this king. " A figure slowly walked out from the shadows. He was a tall man, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a long white robe with a jade ornament on it. He had exquisite workmanship, and when looking at his face, although his hair was graying, his face was flushed red, and there was not a single wrinkle to be seen on the corners of his eyes. If his hair was concealed, just by his appearance, one would think that he was just a young man in his early twenties.
He was also handsome, with a white beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. His lips were very thin, and he had a charming smile on his face, kind and amiable, but the aura he exuded was indescribably oppressive.
That was not the feeling of suppression caused by the Spirit Pressure, and there was no Spirit Pressure emitting from his body either. It was just pure imposing manner. This person was no stranger, he was none other than the greatly famous current Lord of Divine Pool, GuangHan.
Jin Xuan never thought that Guang Han would appear within the Book Pavilion. She was stunned for a while before she was jolted awake, following that, she quickly knelt on the ground and said: "This humble subject greets Holy King."
"Fortunately, Elder Jin still remembers that this duke is the Holy King." Guang Han heard this and held his hands behind his back. He looked down at Jin Xuan and said with a smile, "Stand up!"
"Yes!" Holy King! " Jin Xuan slowly stood up, but she still kept her head low, not daring to meet GuangHan's gaze.
Guang Han replied, "As an elder, you should know the rules of Divine Pool even more. Without this king's permission, no one is allowed to enter the forbidden grounds. Not only did Elder Jin enter the forbidden grounds late at night, he even snuck into the Book Pavilion.
His tone was very gentle, and there wasn't any hint of blame in his tone, but cold sweat was already continuously dripping down Jin Xuan's forehead. Her current reaction, was practically the same as the time Cheng Lian saw her.
Jin Xuan remained silent for a long time before she replied, "Reporting to Holy King, this humble subject ? This humble subject has neglected training in recent years, so my Spiritual Martial Force has regressed. That's why I dared to enter the Book Pavilion, in hopes of finding some extremely quick secret skills. "
Perhaps her words would have been okay if they were just others, but it would have been impossible to trick Guang Han into listening.
She liked refining pills rather than training in the Spirit Martial Realm. Otherwise, with her talent, her achievements would have already surpassed that of her senior brother Huangfu Xiutai, in the past, even if she were to put the most precious Spirit Martial Technique in front of her, she would not even look at it. But now, she had taken the initiative to learn it, and had even taken the risk of committing a serious crime to sneak into the forbidden grounds to learn it.
He was not in a hurry to expose her. Smiling, he said gently: "Elder Jin sure is diligent. I wonder, after looking through so many bookshelves, does he have a secret skill that you like?"
"Oh, I haven't found it yet."
"Tell me, exactly which type you want to find? This King will help you find it."
"This... This humble subject does not dare trouble Holy King ? "
"You don't dare? You even dare to barge into a forbidden area, what else do you, Elder Jin, not dare to do? " While they were talking, Guang Han heard Jin Xuan and walked over. He had a smile on his face as he looked at her.
Jin Xuan shuddered, her head drooping even lower as she said softly, "This humble subject ? "I know I was wrong."
"You should know that This King has always trusted you the most." Guang Han heard what Jin Xuan said, and put his hand on Jin Xuan's shoulder.
Jin Xuan's body trembled, and immediately replied: "Yes!"
"If you still want to continue gaining This King's trust, then tell This King the truth. What exactly are you looking for!?"
He gently rubbed her smooth shoulder and gently said, "Stop lying in front of This King. You should also understand that you can't deceive This King. This King has always hated lying."
