Chapter 168 Opportunity
"You guessed right, I was injured by the people left behind by the Dragon God Temple!"

He Zhengkui's tone became much more friendly, and he took the initiative to explain without Cao Ze even asking, "But that person can only exert the strength of the eighth level of Jiao Blood at most. I was injured by him because I killed a master of the ninth level of Jiao Blood in the Dragon God Temple first, and I was injured myself."

There was a slight gleam on his face.

Being able to kill the ninth-level master of Jiaoxue is indeed something to be proud of.

Seeing Cao Ze opening his mouth to ask something again, He Zhengkui forced a smile, interrupted Cao Ze's question, and continued, "You want to ask why he injured me but didn't come to kill me, right?"

He Zhengkui shook his head. Although he was seriously injured, he still had a sense of pride. "That person's strength is not at the eighth level of Jiao Blood. He just relied on the formation of the Dragon God Temple to forcibly improve it. He can't leave the Palace Island too far."

He Zhengkui is at the ninth level of Jiao blood, and he is guarding the Dragon God Temple, which is at the eighth level of Jiao blood, so naturally he has the confidence to say this.

but,
"How long will it take for Lord Dusi to recover from his injuries?"

He Zhengkui's expression froze, and his voice lowered slightly, "Don't worry, three months will be enough!"

Three months?
Cao Ze shook his head in his heart. Although he learned from the middle-aged man with the long stick that a big shot in the Dragon God Temple had given orders, even if Yue Lingke was really caught, he would not be in too much danger in the short term.

But three months is still too long. By that time, the Dragon God Temple might have taken over Cape City and returned.

"Okay, then Lord Dusi, take good care of your injuries!"

Cao Ze did not raise any objection.

He couldn't wait for three months, but waiting a little longer was no problem. He just happened to need time to refine the spirit snake saliva and snow phoenix fruit.

According to his estimation, if he could completely refine both of them, he would be able to raise his cultivation to the seventh level of Dragon Blood. Then, when he faced the guardian of the eighth level of Dragon Blood in the Dragon God Temple, he would be much more confident.

When Ye Bufan and Lu Bohan heard this, a hint of anxiety flashed in their eyes.

Three months. If Yue Lingke was really caught, who knows what would happen in three months?
Who knows if the Dragon Blood Grandmaster of the Dragon Temple will come back in three months?
Three months is too long, and they cannot bear any change.

But on second thought, what else can they do except wait for He Zhengkui to recover from his injuries?

Although Cao Ze is a genius, his strength is not enough when facing the Dragon God Temple guardian who is at the eighth level of Jiao Blood.

Ye Bufan sighed and helped He Zhengkui onto the boat.

Cao Ze also returned to the cabin again and continued to refine the two spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

……

The Dragon Temple, Palace Island, and the palace on the island are simple and elegant, as if they were corners forgotten by time, exuding a charming historical charm. This is the fragrance that has been precipitated over thousands of years, and it is a temperament that even Cape City does not have.

Deep in this palace, a woman in white was sitting leisurely on a cushion in front of the window. Her figure looked particularly pure and elegant in the soft sunlight.

She was dressed in a snow-white dress with fluttering sleeves as if she would dance in the wind at any time. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, lightly resting on her shoulders, sparkling with a faint luster.

The woman held an ancient book in her hands, and the pages were gently turning, making a rustling sound. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if she was immersed in the world of the book. There was a peaceful smile on her face, like the spring sun, warm and bright.

Outside the window, the sea breeze blows gently, bringing the fresh scent of the ocean.

The waves hit the rocks, making waves of pleasant sounds, which intertwined with the rustling sound of the woman turning pages of the book, forming a beautiful symphony.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice onto the woman's body, making her white clothes even more dazzling.

She is like a fairy walking out of a painting, adding a unique touch of charm to the palace with her elegance and tranquility.

At this time, a woman in red walked in. Seeing this fairy-like scene, she felt both admiration and helplessness.

"Miss, it's already this late, how can you still concentrate on reading?"

Yue Lingke withdrew his gaze from the book, looked at Hong Xing, and smiled brightly, "What else?"

"If I'm as anxious as you are, will we be able to escape?"

"But...but..."

Hong Xing hesitated for a while, but found it irrefutable.

They have been captured and brought to this place for some time. Apart from sealing their dantian and five internal organs, the people in the Dragon God Temple have treated them to delicious food and drinks, and it seems like they have even forgotten about them.

But Hong Xing knew that they couldn't go on like this forever, and that people from the Dragon God Temple would come to deal with them sooner or later.

And even if she could continue to live, she wouldn't want to?
She can be a bird in a cage, but the young lady cannot. With the young lady's talent, she should be able to fly freely in the sky!
"All right……"

Yue Lingke opened his mouth to say something to comfort Hong Xing, but suddenly stopped and looked behind Hong Xing.

At some point, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe embroidered with bronze flying dragons appeared at the palace gate.

The man was of medium build, a little overweight, with strong muscles hidden under his grey robe, and he still maintained the agility and strength unique to a warrior.

His hair was already a little gray, but it was still combed meticulously, looking neat and capable.

Hong Xing's face changed and she quickly took a few steps forward, standing in front of Yue Lingke, but her body couldn't help shaking.

Yue Lingke put down the ancient book in his hand, reached out to push away the red apricots, and stood up to show respect.

"You came!"

"I am coming."

"Thank you for your hard work these years."

"This is the path I chose myself. It's not hard."

The middle-aged man had no expression on his face, and his tone was so indifferent that it seemed as if he was not talking about his own business. "I have sent the guards away, but we don't have much time. I will remove the seal for the young lady, and you can leave quickly!"

Hong Xing finally reacted and began to feel surprised that she had escaped death.

She had always known that Cape City had an undercover agent in the Dragon God Temple, but she didn't expect that he would appear at this time!
As the middle-aged man spoke, he stepped forward and came in front of Yue Lingke. He took out a blood-red talisman from his arms, stimulated his blood and qi, and stimulated blood lights, which flowed into Yue Lingke's lower dantian.

Yue Lingke's seal was planted by a master, and he had no way of breaking it with his level of cultivation. He could only borrow the power of talismans.

Ouch!

With a dragon's roar, the surrounding air seemed to suddenly become heavy, as if a mountain was descending.

Then there was a crisp sound, like glass breaking, and suddenly all the strange phenomena disappeared.

The middle-aged man also put away the talisman, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and urged again, "Hurry up, or something bad will happen!"

Yue Lingke raised his right hand, slightly bent his green fingers and clenched them into a fist. Feeling the strength returning to his body, he shook his head at the middle-aged man.

"Can't leave."

As she said this, she looked out the window.

There seemed to be nothing there, and even the sea water hitting the rocks could splash into the house.

But she knew that there was an invisible barrier there.

With her cultivation sealed, it was impossible for her to pass through this barrier.

Now that her cultivation has been fully restored, although she can break through this barrier that has not been activated at full strength, it will definitely alarm Kong Shiyi.

She had seen the horror of this man a few days ago.

With strength far beyond her own, and the archer's extremely long attack range, there was no possibility for her to escape Kong Shiyi's pursuit.

Therefore,
"We have to find a way to kill Kong Shiyi!"

Yue Lingke looked at the middle-aged man.

She had seen the scene when Kong Shiyi attacked He Zhengkui a few days ago, so she also understood that Kong Shiyi himself was not terrible, with only the strength of the sixth level of Jiao Blood. If she took advantage of his unpreparedness, with her current fifth level of Jiao Blood, plus the Wind and Thunder God Fist, she might have a chance to kill Kong Shiyi.

By then, there will be no warrior stronger than her on this palace island, and it will be up to her to decide whether to leave or stay!
Middle-aged silence.

After a long while, he spoke again, "It's difficult!"

"very dangerous!"

"Kong Shiyi is a cautious person, otherwise the High Priest would not have left him to guard the Palace Island."

"We have no choice!"

Yue Lingke looked at the middle-aged man, "Help me find an opportunity, and I will do it. If I succeed, I will take you back to Cape City. If I fail, you don't have to save me!"

"it is good!"

The middle-aged man nodded, turned around and walked out of the palace neatly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yue Lingke then turned around and looked at Hong Xing and waved to her.

Hong Xing walked towards Yue Lingke subconsciously, her heart beating wildly, still immersed in Yue Lingke's bold plan.

Yue Lingke raised his hand and placed it on Hong Xing's shoulder. The energy and blood flowed and released the seal on Hong Xing's body.

Then he thought about it, and used his energy and blood to leave a seal on Hong Xing.

Hong Xing is not as good as her. She has not yet mastered the skill of concealing her energy. If a master comes, she will be exposed. Now she is sealing Hong Xing's cultivation, so that she can move as she pleases and unseal instantly without the risk of being exposed.

After doing all this, Yue Lingke returned to the window again, picked up the ancient book, and began to read it attentively and seriously, waiting for the opportunity to come.

……

Palace Island, Side Hall,

There was a drizzle outside the palace, and the already dark sky seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth, making it impossible to see the scenery in the distance.

In the hall, candlelight flickered, light and shadows were mottled, and people were drinking and chatting. The atmosphere was warm but with a hint of resentment.

"What a ghost!"

"Why should they be able to attack Cape City and gain merit while we have to stay in this broken place?"

“I can’t even get a hair!”

A middle-aged man with a face full of flesh picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said indignantly.

"Who says it isn't?"

A middle-aged man in a gray robe nearby echoed, "Not only can we not get any credit, but we are not even allowed to touch the captured prisoners. If you don't know us, you would think we are some famous and upright sect."

“Hahaha… I didn’t expect Brother Wensong, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, to have this hobby!”

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter and looked at the middle-aged man with gray hair that was combed meticulously.

Bai Wensong usually looks very serious, so when he said something like this, the huge contrast naturally made everyone feel very fresh, and at the same time, they also resonated strongly with his words.

"As expected of a girl that Master Ying has chosen. That figure, that temperament... I can't even see such a fairy-like figure in my dreams."

After the laughter, some people were amazed, their eyes became blurred, and the smile on their faces began to become obscene.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. That person is someone that Master Ying wants. If you dare to mess around, no one can protect you!"

There were also some clear-headed people in the hall who immediately spoke out to remind them.

Bai Wensong chuckled, "Master Ying, of course we dare not touch the woman you like, but that woman's maid is also very beautiful..."

The hall fell silent and all sounds disappeared, because everyone began to think seriously about Bai Wensong's words.

They were all warriors in the Refining Organ Realm, but there were usually very few female warriors in the Dragon God Temple, let alone female warriors in the Refining Organ Realm, and they were female warriors in the Refining Organ Realm...

"I think you are really brave!"

The palace door suddenly darkened and a figure blocked the door. The cold voice completely extinguished everyone's fantasies.

Kong Shiyi looked at everyone in the hall with a gloomy expression.

"Hey, the chief priest is here..."

The silence in the hall was broken, and someone came forward with a flattering smile, looking like a lackey, "Don't worry, we have a plan. Even if you want to have some fun, you have to save it for Brother Kong first!"

"fart!"

"I don't have the guts to touch Mr. Ying's people."

Although Kong Shiyi still had a stern face, everyone had followed him for many years and naturally understood that this hurdle was over.

Everyone has been complaining here for a long time, thinking it is unfair, but everyone knows that the reason they were kept here is simply because they are Kong Shiyi's direct descendants.

Kong Shiyi certainly understood this. As the guardian of Palace Island, he naturally had to receive benefits. He also felt a little guilty towards these brothers, so he naturally would not blame them too much.

"Okay, Cape City is just the beginning. There will be many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future."

"Don't even think about it. If you make a mistake in this matter, I can't save you."

Kong Shiyi waved his hand and said, "Get out of here right now. Disperse. Those who need to patrol should patrol, and those who need to rest should rest."

After saying this, Kong Shiyi turned around and left the palace without caring whether these people had really dispersed.

Bai Wensong picked up the wine glass and squinted at Kong Shiyi's back.

Kong Shiyi is cautious, thorough and detail-oriented, and is indeed the best candidate to guard Palace Island.

But as people who have followed Kong Shiyi for thirty years, they know that Kong Shiyi's only shortcoming is his lust!
Those words he just said were not meant for the minions around him.

Before, the title of Mr. Ying might have allowed Kong Shiyi to suppress the desires in his heart, but after his teasing, can Kong Shiyi still bear it?

Even if Kong Shiyi really went there in the end, could Yue Lingke succeed?

he does not know!

But he has done everything he can, and the rest depends on Yue Lingke's own ability.

……

Deep in the East China Sea, dense schools of fish gathered together, so dense that it looked like a huge solid underwater whirlpool.

The fish on the periphery were trying like crazy to squeeze in, and even fighting for it, turning the nearby sea area into a mess of smoke, mud, sand and blood.

Suddenly, the schools of fish that were fighting each other suddenly became quiet.

The whirlpool of sea fish stopped turning.

It then spins rapidly in an instant, changing from extreme stillness to extreme movement.

But this time, they spun in the opposite direction, as if they had encountered something terrifying. They ran away at an even more terrifying speed and in a more crazy manner than when they came.

The vortex of sea fish dissipated in an instant.

Only a ball of light emitting a hazy bloody glow was left in its place.

Then, a figure stood up from the ball of light and turned into a middle-aged man with a long stick!
