Chapter 479 - Thinking of playing a dirty trick
“You Yue’s also an array master?” Lian Ze said with some surprise.
“I know a little.” Sima You Yue said.
“Then, do you want to take a look?”
“Can I?” Sima You Yue was also secretly a little interested.
Lian Zi had yet to speak when the manager at the side said, “Palace Head Lian, Great Master Hao does not like people to watch as he sets up his arrays.”
Lian Ze thought of this problem as well, and said rather apologetically, “That Great Master Hao’s temperament is a little strange. Even we do not dare to cross him…”
“Forget it, then.” Sima You Yue smiled.
In any case, she would be able to see the array later on. She didn’t have to rush to see it now.
“Then let’s head to Innumerable Green Palace first.” Lian Ze felt a little awkward.
“Okay.”
They went to Innumerable Green City. Once those from the Innumerable Green Palace knew that Sima You Yue and the others were being brought in by Lian Ze, they were all extremely shocked. Afterwards, when they came to know that Lian Ze had actually asked them to come as guests, they were extremely curious as to what their identities were.
In Red River Palace, a place very far from Soaring Cloud Palace, Xia Zhong and Wu Qiao Qiao were hearing the reports of their disciples and were hopping mad.
They had just gotten to know that Xia Qing Ren and the other who went with him had been beaten up, and in the blink of an eye, they had also gotten knew that they had been invited as guests in to Innumerable Green Palace. Wasn’t this just driving them crazy?!
“This Lian Ze.. he knows very clearly that we have a conflict with them, but he actually invited them over to our Innumerable Green Palace. Hateful!” Xia Zhong spat.
“TheSoaring Cloud Palace has always been at odds with our red river palace. It’s not strange for them to invite those people over. You guys head down first!” Wu Qiao Qiao said to the servants with a wave of her hand. Once they had left, she continued, “This is an opportunity.”
“What opportunity?” Xia Zhong was taken aback. He had no idea why she got those people to leave when his wife was over here speaking some things really secretively.
“You’re really such a blockhead!” Wu Qiao Qiao glared hatefully at him, “Aren’t they right here now? We can think of a way to teach them a lesson!”
Although Xia Zhong had a bad temper, his actions were always straightforward. He wasn’t twisted and scheming like Wu Qiao Qiao.
Now that he heard his wife’s explanation, he understood as well, saying, “Wife, what good idea do you have?”
“Don’t we have a forbidden area? When the time comes, we should lead her in there and make them trespass. We’ll see what they can do then!’ Wu Qiao Qiao said with a smirk, “You dare to bully my daughter? How could I let you off like that!”
“Wife, this is a great idea. However, how are we going to get them to that forbidden area?”
“Just go to forbidden area number three. It won’t kill them, but they won’t come out unscathed!” Wu Qiao Qiao said, “Go and arrange for it. This time, don’t mess it up. Otherwise, I will really regret marrying an idiot like you!”
“Wife, relax. I definitely won’t mess it up this time.” Xia Zhong said with a flattering smile, “I’ll go and arrange things now.”
“Go quickly. Don’t you dare come back if you don’t settle it well!”
“Wife, just wait for my good news.”
Xia Zhong left as he spoke, and nobody noticed the two little bees that stopped at the beams of the house.
On the other side, Sima You Yue and the other three were currently sightseeing with Lian Ze leading the way. When she received the report from Scarlet, her mouth turned up into a faint smirk.
“Palace Head Lian, your Innumerable Green Palace is so big, you should have some restricted areas right?”
“We do. We have five large forbidden areas, the three areas in front of us do not permit anyone to enter unless they have obtained permission. The further two areas might kill those who are too weak.” Lian Ze said.
“Then, are you able to bring us to the outer area of the forbidden areas to take a look?” Sima You Yue said with a smile, “It wouldn’t be good if we went there by accident.”
Lian Ze thought about it, then nodded. “We can take a walk around the outside of the forbidden areas.”
After saying this, he led them away from their original path and headed directly to the forbidden areas in Innumerable Green Palace.
The first forbidden area was a canyon. They stood on the canyon and Lian Ze pointed to the bottom, saying, “This is our repentance cliff. Those who have committed mistakes will be confined here.”
“Why did you choose this place?”
“Although this canyon doesn’t seem deep, the bottom of it is endless. It is also strangely cold. Those who are confined down there can only release strength that is at the level of divine ranked and below. It will be impossible for them to warm themselves using spirit energy. This can be seen as a form of punishment too.” Lian Ze said.
“You say it’s a punishment, but it’s actually a form of cultivation, isn’t it.”
In this kind of environment, if one used it well, they would obtain a lot of benefits.
A senior clothed in white was sitting on a rock opposite the cliff when he heard what she said. His closed eyelids moved as he opened his eyes to look at her. Lian Ze wanted to speak, but the senior stopped him with a look.
“Why do you think this is a form of cultivation?” That senior asked.
They had seen this senior when they arrived. However, Sima You Yue didn’t ask who he was. Seeing that he was sitting there, she guessed that he should the guard or something of the like.
“The area below is cold, and those who have been confined can only use strength at the level of a divine ranked and below. If they want to resist the cold, they can only use their spirit energy continuously. As they use their spirit energy in huge amounts, they will learn to properly control their power.” She replied, “Also, I’m guessing that since they don’t’ stop fighting off the cold, they have to focus their mental powers on their circumstances at all times. If they keep doing this, they will strengthen their mental strength as well.”
The senior touched his long white beard as he nodded, “Your analysis is correct. This truly does have this use. It’s a pity that those people who have committed the mistakes only treat this place as a punishment, and not a place to cultivate.”
Sima You Yue smiled at the senior, then turned to Lian Ze, saying, “Let’s take a look at other forbidden areas.”
Lian Ze looked at the senior and, seeing that he had not said anything, nodded his head, “Then, let’s head to area number two.”
The second forbidden area was a house. The tall wall around it stopped anyone from seeing the inside. Lian Ze did not say what it was, so it was probably a house that had some special use for the Innumerable Green Palace.
After which, they went to forbidden area three. Who would have thought that area number three was a valley.
“This third forbidden area isn’t much. Why is it a forbidden area?” Sima You Yue aske.d
“The inside of it actually contains a few spirit beasts that our sect takes care of. There are also those vicious ones that we cannot bear to kill, so have locked them in here.” Lian Ze said.
Sima You Yue looked at the plain and ordinary valley, “There’s a barrier here?”
“There is.”
Sima You Yue walked forward by two steps, and a barrier rippled into existence, barring her entry.
“Then, who is allowed inside?” She pretended to ask casually.
“The different palace heads can all enter. Our palace heads have an identity place that allows them to enter freely.” Lian Ze said as he took out a gold coloured name plate. On it was carved the image of a palace with the words ‘Soaring Cloud Palace.’
