Chapter 81

"Right now, tell me everything you know, in detail. The premise of our deal is that everything you say is true. If there is even the slightest lie, I cannot guarantee your safe reincarnation!"

"Those who understand the times are wise. Don't even think about trying to trip me up halfway. Hiding anything will only accelerate your death. You know there are many methods in this world to make you spill the truth!"

Jun Wuming coldly watched Wen Boxue, who was secretly pleased, each word he spoke felt like a thousand-pound weight on Wen Boxue's heart. With each word, Wen Boxue's face paled a bit more. By the time Jun Wuming mentioned the 'methods,' Wen Boxue's face had completely lost its color!

The weak light of the true spirit seemed like a flickering candle, not needing to be blown or beaten, it would scatter with just a slight tremor!

"Mind-searching technique?"

A strong fear flashed in his eyes. This young man in blue, who had never given up even when his physical body and ghostly form were scattered by Jun Wuming, finally revealed the deep-seated fear in his heart at this moment!

Unable to live or die, how could Wen Boxue, who was well-versed in the techniques of mind-searching and soul-stealing, not understand the pain of forced mind-searching, which was a thousand times more painful than being flayed alive!

"Ah ah ah!!"

The ear-piercing screams of those who had died under his mind-searching technique in the past echoed in his ears, making Wen Boxue shudder. It was as if an endless cold wind had seeped into his heart. He quickly opened his mouth, eager to explain!

"Sir, please rest assured. My life is still in your hands. I value my life very much and would never do something that harms others and myself!"

"I hope so."

With a faint glance at the small spirit in his palm, a mysterious look flashed in Jun Wuming's eyes. He then lowered his head and began to ask detailed questions about the White Jade Spirit Vein.

Lingyun Mountain?

Tasting these three words, as if savoring them for a long time, seeing no flaws, Jun Wuming casually gathered a ball of icy energy, transforming it into a small ice crystal cage to completely imprison the spirit in his palm!

The icy energy spread, instantly emitting a freezing light that froze the floating spirit in the ice!

Glancing at the spirit completely frozen in the ice, Jun Wuming smiled slightly. Freezing the true spirit was also for its own good. A weak true spirit is easily harmed under the intense sunlight. In the ice, it would not be, and the extremely low temperature, controlled by Jun Wuming, would freeze the spirit's thoughts, keeping it in a permanent state of sleep and helping it slowly condense its innate spirit light, which is highly beneficial!

For your own good, let you sleep for ten thousand years!

His lips curled, and with a flick of his sleeve, a black light flew out from behind his head, instantly wrapping around his body and transforming into a black streak of light, flying out of the clouds toward Lianyun Fort!

The commotion when he had a sudden enlightenment was quite large, and he feared that powerful figures had already taken notice of this place. That matter could only be postponed for now!

Lianyun Fort, deep in the Taoshan Mountains, Hulu Valley!

The water shimmered, and the huge waterfall's water fell like rolling thunder.

Suddenly, a black light descended from the sky!

At the same time, a green light surged out from the calm pond below the waterfall.

The water rippled, and a large red-haired green turtle, stroking its white beard, quietly stood at the end of the spray!

"Old Wu Qitian greets Young Master!"

The green turtle mimicked the manner of a scholar, bowing with clasped hands.

Lifting his eyes, Jun Wuming couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. It was really lifelike, and anyone who didn't know better would be deceived by his refined appearance.

In fact, this old turtle had a sleazy and despicable nature. Seeing the sleazy smile on his green face, Jun Wuming shook his head and smiled.

His figure shifted horizontally, instantly transforming into a black streak of light, directly entering the clear lake in the courtyard.

The black magical power on his body surged like the sea, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force blew.

The calm lake surface naturally parted, and his figure moved, directly passing through the giant pythons and jade turtles patrolling the lake, entering a grand and exquisite jade and crystal palace!

The clear lake was deep, and the palace illuminated the dark lake bottom, making it bright and clear. The brilliant light formed transparent water curtains on the palace, like a huge crystal palace.

It prevented fish and shrimp from seeping in and filtered the pure spring water, making the palace clear and ethereal!

Jun Wuming had built this lake palace several years ago.

He personally invited the best architects from nearby cities and led his subordinates, the demons, to collect crystal and jade materials. The processing and polishing were all done by himself, finally completing this palace in the shape of a dragon palace!

For this, Jun Wuming even expanded and deepened the lake bottom by hundreds of feet, forming a cluster of crystal palaces at the bottom.

He directly entered the main hall of the Undersea Palace, the Youhai Hall.

The vast and grand crystal hall was slightly cold and empty, with no shrimp soldiers, crab soldiers, mermaid maids, or other dragon-related subordinates.

Jun Wuming couldn't help but sigh, these shrimp soldiers and crab soldiers were truly hard to find.

In the Lianyun Fort section of the river, there were the most turtles and tortoises, while the shrimp and crab tribes were not significant, mostly becoming food for the river demons.

Over the past five years, besides meditating and cultivating to consolidate his strength, Jun Wuming led the turtle and snake tribes to besiege and reclaim the spiritual turtles and fierce tortoises in the river. Now, under Wu Hai, the turtles and tortoises were strong and numerous, with bold spirits, often causing trouble and provoking the black snakes, leading to frequent complaints from the black snakes!

He smiled faintly and instructed a small green fish demon at the door to summon Heifeng.

A divine light flashed behind his head, and a huge black light slowly spread from the dragon palace, the vast black light spreading like water, covering the entire clear lake in less than half an incense stick's time.

One by one, black-armored blood煞warriors emerged from the water, and with a wave of Jun Wuming's hand, the black light rolled.

The numerous yin soldiers and yin energy merged with the vast black river behind Jun Wuming, emitting a huge aura. The Black Yin River only needed to curl once, and the numerous Black Yin Ghost Warriors were instantly swept into the river, leaving only five yin soldiers, personally selected by Jun Wuming, standing in place, waiting for his instructions!

Suddenly, Jun Wuming's heart stirred, and he looked up to see a green and black intense demonic aura and a series of demonic winds descending onto the vast clear lake.

"Wu Yuqing, Heifeng, we pay our respects to the Master!"

The intense demonic aura and demonic winds cut through the lake surface and the water, instantly landing before the grand hall.

From the intense green and black demonic aura, a short-legged green jade turtle and a giant python with a human body and snake tail bowed and walked out!

Wu Yuqing was the direct descendant of the old rogue turtle, Wu Qitian. His true form was a rare green jade turtle.

His entire body was like green ink, shimmering with a luster. The green turtle shell was like a precious piece of green jade!

Wu Yuqing's talent was not bad. Born in less than a hundred years, he now had a third-stage cultivation.

Jun Wuming nodded slightly and introduced the five Dao soldiers and spirit generals to the two of them.

"In the future, these five will be responsible for guarding the dragon palace. You two can take turns leading your subordinates to guard the two underground waterways leading to the Liming Pond and the Bi Bo River system!"

After a brief greeting, Jun Wuming indicated for everyone to leave, leaving only Heifeng behind.

The human form of the giant python had a slightly sinister aura. His long, narrow phoenix eyes, black hair hanging to his waist, and the black and white snake patterns on his face added a touch of eeriness, while his black and white giant tail made him look majestic and extraordinary.

At this moment, Heifeng felt slightly uneasy. The dragon aura emanating from Jun Wuming made him feel immense pressure, and the fear transmitted through his bloodline made him very anxious. It seemed that after the Master's trip, his bloodline had become even more noble and authoritative, as if it had fully awakened! But how could this be possible? The Master was only fifteen years old, which should still be considered a young age in the dragon clan!

He lowered his head in confusion, but quickly reported, "Master, since you left, we have followed your instructions. If anyone comes to seek you, we tell them you are out searching for crystal veins and cannot see them. So, all visitors have been turned away by me and the old turtle. However, two people left messages saying they had important matters to discuss with you!"

"Oh, who are the two?"

Jun Wuming smiled lazily, lounging on the dragon throne, listening to Heifeng's report.

After expending so much effort outside, Jun Wuming now had no desire to move. Although cultivators have extraordinary physical strength, Jun Wuming felt mentally exhausted!

Young dragons are prone to sleep, and although Jun Wuming, relying on numerous adventures, had powerful magic and a flawless demon body, he could not completely shake off the mental fatigue and sleepiness!

Seeing Jun Wuming leaning lazily on the dragon throne, almost falling asleep, Heifeng said softly, "After you left, Lady Lin Hong suddenly visited, saying she had important matters to discuss with you, related to the ancestral worship, and instructed us to report to you upon your return!"

Ancestral worship?

Jun Wuming raised his head slightly, waved his hand, and indicated for Heifeng to continue. This matter was about assisting Jun Wuyou in the succession, which Jun Wuming had already anticipated!

"After that, Young Master Jun Wuhen came to visit. He learned that you have been searching for crystal and jade veins in recent years, so he instructed many subordinates to deliver a thousand cubic meters of jade raw materials and then left in a hurry!"

"Oh, Jun Wuhen, that good cousin, whom I rarely see, actually sent me such a great gift this time, which is quite rare!"

While saying this, Jun Wuming sneered inwardly. Offering favors without reason is either a trick or a trap. Although Jun Wuhen and Jun Wuming were cousins, Jun Wuming had not seen him more than ten times in the past few years, and even when they did meet, it was always in a hurry, never giving Jun Wuming a proper look.

"Also..."

Jun Wuming's mind stirred, and he raised his eyes slightly.

"Who else?"

"Also, after Young Master Jun Wuhen delivered the jade, Young Master Lin Yan sent his subordinates to deliver a thousand cubic meters of jade!"

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he closed them gently, waving his hand. Heifeng, understanding, slowly dragged his long tail out of the Youhai Dragon Hall, returning to his resting place, not mentioned again.

Taoshan Ancient Town, snowflakes flying, the clear Bi Bo River rolling down. Even after months of heavy snow, the river could not be frozen.

Water splashed, each drop crystal clear like jade, even more charming in the winter cold.

The ancient town was bustling, with wide and clean streets. Even in the severe winter, the ancient and simple roads were still crowded with people, flowing continuously.

Here, vendors sold melons, merchants sold dates, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the calls of vendors never ceased, extremely prosperous!

On both sides of the ancient road, shops lined up, but the most were inns and pharmacies.

This vast Taoshan Mountain Range produces rare ancient medicines and mountain specialties every year, attracting many merchants from the central countries to travel thousands of miles to buy precious spiritual items!

Many adventurers, attracted by the favorable conditions of the mountain fort, have settled here, fully integrating into the mountain fort system.

At this moment, at the Tongyue Inn next to a large willow tree in the center of the ancient town.

On the second floor, a young man was sitting alone by the window, drinking alone.

This young man had delicate, crystal-clear hands, as if glowing white, lightly holding a sheathed treasure sword. He wore a green jade crown and a golden silk belt, looking very noble and warm.

"Xu Dajia, what is so urgent that you had to come to me personally? Aren't you afraid your master will know and cut you down with one sword!"

The young man raised his wine glass, unhurriedly, a smile on his face, his eyes like stars, looking at the willow tree outside the inn, smiling before speaking.

At first glance, he seemed extremely warm and friendly, but his words were filled with killing intent, with a hint of blood and evil aura, adding a touch of solemnity to the quiet air.
