The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 661 Sima Jingrui
Although the decorations inside the "Sun and Moon Harmony Palace" were extremely luxurious, it was empty and silent. Not to mention eunuchs and palace maids, Zhao Chen didn't even see a flying insect along the way.

However, when he slowly walked across the outer hall and into the corridor leading to the inner hall, he faintly heard the painful cries of many women.

Some of those sounds were illusory, while others seemed real. The combination of the two gave people a weird feeling that was both exciting and creepy.

At this time, Zhao Chen's spiritual consciousness sensed an extremely strong yin energy emanating from the inner hall, as if the front was connected to the "Yin World"!
Walking forward and pushing open the door of the inner hall, Zhao Chen's eyes first revealed surprise, and then gradually turned cold.

Although he had long planned to kill Sima Jingrui to "avenge" Ma Guangming, at this moment, Zhao Chen's murderous intent became stronger than ever.

Because what caught his eyes were corpses.

The nun's body!

Their bodies had long been dry as firewood, with skin and bones covering their bodies. It was obvious that they had been drained of all their energy by some evil martial art.

But this is not the end. After the death of these female cultivators, the human soul among the three souls was actually bound above their bodies and was roasted by a pale flame.

The empty cries that Zhao Chen just heard came from these female cultivators who had to suffer torture even after death.

As for the actual crying sound... Zhao Chen's eyes were fixed on the throne on the high platform at the end of the inner hall. There, a shirtless man with gray hair was throwing the half-naked woman in his arms to the ground in the inner hall.

The woman's crying suddenly stopped, but soon, the sobbing from her soul began again...

Zhao Chen still did not make any move, because he had already seen that the female cultivator had already died before he arrived at the inner hall, and the subsequent crying was just the wailing of the two souls of heaven and earth.

He silently counted the female corpses in the inner hall. There were twenty-seven of them, and they were arranged according to the positions of the twenty-eight constellations. It was obvious that some kind of ritual was being performed. No wonder the Lord of Riquan had a taboo that did not allow anyone to approach the so-called "Sun and Moon Harmony Palace".

This Sima Jingrui really deserves to die!

Whenever Zhao Chen thought about how his sister Hongxia was almost abducted here, he couldn't help but reveal his murderous intent, and he almost lost the mood to play the role of "Commander-in-Chief of Yuequan Internal Guards".

Sima Jingrui didn't seem to care about Zhao Chen's murderous intent at all. He calmly cleaned up the dirt on his body, and then without putting on his clothes, he faced Zhao Chen and said openly: "Why don't you bow to the master of this country?"

Zhao Chen glanced at the female corpses and imprisoned souls around him again and said coldly:
"Worship you? I came here because the Lord of Yuequan was controlled by a demon, but after seeing you, I felt that my Lord was quite normal."

He did not take action immediately, and even continued to play the role of "Hu Shan". Firstly, he could not bear to see the aftermath of the fight terrify the poor female cultivators around him.

Secondly, he could roughly see that the layout of this "Sun and Moon Harmony Palace" was indeed helping Sima Jingrui to stabilize his state. Once it was destroyed, the other party might immediately transform into a terrible monster!

That would be even more troublesome... So, no matter which aspect, it is not advisable to take any action for the time being.

"Is the Yuequan King normal?" Sima Jingrui sneered, "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. She truly contains the inheritance of the 'Seven Stars of the East' and is the most perfect container!
"Unlike a failure like me, I can only rely on external things to supplement my vitality and rationality and survive in this world.

"This is all thanks to the mercy of 'Fox Goddess'. Not only did she teach me the 'harmony of yin and yang' method of seizing the foundation, she also came to Riquan Country to teach me in person and planted the 'seed' of this method in my body."

He spoke his secrets recklessly, and it was obvious that he had already regarded Zhao Chen as a dead man.

Zhao Chen said inwardly: "Sure enough!"

As expected, the "Fox Fairy" Meng Yuehua was the mastermind behind the scenes. But why did she cultivate the so-called perfect container to hold the inheritance of the "Seven Stars of the East"?
Also, the "seed" she planted inside you? That's a little weird, isn't it supposed to be the other way around?
And the so-called "seeds" are probably her way of reusing waste to cause "chaos", right?
When Zhao Chen was lost in thought, he heard Sima Jingrui continue:
"Now I am only missing one of the 'Twenty-Eight Constellations' in my secret method. Originally, the female cultivator with the most positive and yang energy who entered the city today was just the right one, but who knew that she ran away...

"Fortunately, with the arrival of you, a cultivator from Yuequan Country who practices the True Explanation of the Moonlight Demon Suppression Technique, you can replace her and become the 'Twenty-Eight Mansions'.

"After all, you also meet the conditions of 'Yin within Yang, Yang within Yin'!
"Besides, our Lord is getting tired of enjoying so many female cultivators, so it's just right to use you to spice things up."

As he spoke, he looked up and down at "Hu Shan"'s appearance, then nodded to show his satisfaction.

Zhao Chen felt a chill when he heard this, but he was still close to usurping control of the various formations and restrictions in the "Sun and Moon Harmony Palace", so he endured the nausea and continued to ask: "The so-called perfect 'Eastern Seven Stars' inheritance container means that the tampered versions of the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Art" and "The True Solution of the Moonlight Demon Slaying" have been cultivated to perfection, right?"

The great magical power of "Star Restraint" is known as the source of Xuantian Formation. Although its prerequisite spells "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" and "Red Moon Fire Lotus" seem to have nothing to do with formations, one involves the mystery of space, and the other contains the secret of time. It is also a configuration of yin and yang dislocation and the disorder of the five elements...

So they are actually practical means against formations.

It was precisely because of these two innate spells, coupled with the abilities of "notarization" and "investigation", that Zhao Chen dared to step into the "Sun and Moon Harmony Palace", because he had been secretly trying to seize control of this palace from the very beginning.

Sima Jingrui, who hadn't noticed this yet, laughed and answered patiently, "You have quite a few questions, but my Lord has always been tolerant, especially to those who are about to give me everything, I will try my best to meet their needs..."

He paused, pointed at the corpses in the inner hall, and said with a smile, "Look at the layout around us. It's obvious that in addition to the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique and the Moonlight Demon Slaying True Explanation, we also need the Five Star Sky Patrol Secret Book from Xingquan Country.

"And you are wrong about one thing. They are not tampered versions. It was our ancestors who actually tampered with the techniques and gave them their current names!
"We are practicing the most authentic 'The Eastern Azure Dragon Chapter' of the 'Five Stars and Constellations Sun and Moon Mixed Scripture' inherited by the Queen of Xiliang!"

At this point, his expression gradually became fanatical, and then he looked at Zhao Chen and spoke with some kind of spiritual sound-like magical power: "Okay, you have no regrets, take off your clothes and come up by yourself."
