Chapter 100: The Golden Jade Book from the Immortal Realm
As soon as Nangong Wan stepped into the Sunset Palace, Lin Yue sensed the faint yet extremely pure killing intent emanating from the beautiful and incomparably stunning Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect above.
"It's a golden box!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yue suddenly remembered the golden box he had obtained in the Crimson Forbidden Land, which actually contained nothing.
There is only one jade slip, which contains the origin of the Crimson Forbidden Land!
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect must have known about the existence of the golden box long ago, which is why he risked letting Nangong Wan enter the Crimson Forbidden Land.
But he never expected that such a thing would happen. His beloved disciple not only lost his virginity, but also had his golden box stolen.
"Greetings, Grand Elder. May I ask what matter you wish to discuss with me by having Wan'er invite me here?"
Lin Yue cupped his hands in greeting, his tone not particularly polite.
Nangong Wan, on the other hand, was quite nervous. She bowed respectfully to the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, her own master, and said in a respectful tone.
"Disciple Nangong Wan greets Master."
"Alright! Wan'er, you may leave now. I have something to discuss with this fellow Daoist. I'll talk to you about it later."
The stunningly beautiful woman, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, spoke with an unquestionable tone, her red lips barely moving.
"Your disciple obeys!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan reluctantly agreed.
After saying that, she glanced at Lin Yue again, giving him a look that said "good luck," before leaving Sunset Palace with no other choice.
"Fellow Daoist must be Junior Brother Linghu of Huangfeng Valley, and Fellow Daoist Panwu from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance! I would like to thank you in advance for informing Junior Brother Linghu about the invasion of the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom."
After Nangong Wan left, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect thanked her again.
Despite being only one step away from advancing to the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, she couldn't see through Lin Yue's cultivation level, couldn't detect his aura, and even felt as if he didn't exist.
This made her wary, yet it also hinted at a murderous intent!
After all, Lin Yue had taken over her disciple Nangong Wan's body, which she could not tolerate.
If she hadn't been unable to see through Lin Yue, and if Lin Yue hadn't indeed done favors for the Seven Sects, she would have already broken the restrictions on the Sunset Palace and killed Lin Yue.
The Hidden Moon Sect is a large and powerful family; killing an unknown cultivator is not a problem for them.
"It is indeed me, Elder. Please speak freely."
Lin Yue didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the jade chair next to him, asking the question.
"What are your plans to do about your relationship with Wan'er?"
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect pressed on, his tone icy and hostile.
Clearly, he intended to kill Lin Yue!
"Wan'er, I will naturally take responsibility. Elder, please rest assured. However, with the demonic invasion imminent, it is truly inappropriate to hold a dual cultivation ceremony now. Therefore, it would not be too late to hold it after this crisis has been resolved."
Lin Yue thought for a moment and then said.
This was something he and Nangong Wan had discussed on the way. To put it bluntly, Nangong Wan didn't want to become his Daoist partner and hold a dual cultivation ceremony; she just considered it a misunderstanding.
Lin Yue was not in the mood to hold a dual cultivation ceremony with Nangong Wan; the matter of the demonic invasion was more important.
"That forbidden area chest, fellow Daoist, could you please allow me to take a look? When I entered the forbidden area years ago, I also tried to seize the golden chest, but unfortunately, my strength was insufficient, and I failed. I wonder if you could take it out for me to see?"
After listening to Lin Yue's words, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect neither agreed nor objected. Instead, he brought up the golden box in the Crimson Forbidden Land.
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue agreed without much thought. As he spoke, he patted his storage bag, and a golden stream of light shot out.
After circling once, a shimmering golden box appeared in mid-air ahead from the Crimson Forbidden Land.
Seeing this, the coldness in the eyes of the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect dissipated somewhat, replaced by a look of surprise and delight. She raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Yue again.
Immediately, she pointed her jade-like hand at the golden box, and the golden box that had been floating in front of Lin Yue was pulled to her side. She narrowed her bright eyes and examined it closely.
His eyes shone with an indescribable joy and excitement, clearly indicating that he knew something about the golden box.
"Fellow Daoist Panwu, aren't you afraid that I will take this forbidden treasure chest for myself?"
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect parted her lips slightly and asked directly.
"I trust the Elder's character. Besides, there's really nothing good in this forbidden treasure chest. If the Elder wants it, please take it as a betrothal gift."
Lin Yue chuckled lightly, as if he had expected this.
Upon hearing the words "betrothal gifts," the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect's eyes turned cold again. He snorted inwardly and asked with displeasure.
"The matter of the betrothal gifts can wait. Do you know the origin of this forbidden treasure chest?"
"Naturally, it was left by the owner of the forbidden area."
Lin Yue, his smile undiminished, spoke of something that everyone already knew.
"Indeed, fellow Daoist, do you know its use?"
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect pressed for further answers.
"It should be the key to the restrictions on the third level of the forbidden tower."
Lin Yue said thoughtfully.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed aware of this matter. Would you be willing to cooperate?"
Seeing this, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect's eyes flickered, and he spoke.
"The Grand Elder may not know this yet. The restrictions within this third level of the tower render the forbidden treasure chest useless. Without the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the pressure from the restrictions alone would be enough to kill anyone who enters the tower. Therefore, the Grand Elder should take it a step further and break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm before discussing the transaction."
I don't want to go to my death in the forbidden tower.
Lin Yue shook his head, chuckled, and explained, "Fellow Daoist, you do indeed know a great deal about the forbidden area, even knowing such secret matters. Since it's so dangerous, then let's leave it at that."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect smiled, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes as she spoke.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yue's heart sank. He no longer had any goodwill towards the beautiful woman in front of him, who was no less beautiful than Nangong Wan and was Nangong Wan's master.
Clearly, the other party intended to use the third-level tower of the Crimson Forbidden Land to kill him.
"If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."
After saying that, Lin Yue waved his hand and put the golden box back into his storage bag. The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect did not stop him.
"Alright, then please let Wan'er in. I have other matters to discuss with her."
The Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect made another request.
"Um!"
Lin Yue nodded slightly without saying anything more, then got up and left the Sunset Palace.
As soon as I left the Sunset Palace, the feeling of being constantly on edge finally disappeared.
At the same time, the panel in front of Lin Yue also changed.
"Since the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect is still alive, you have been granted one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to draw a prize?"
Upon seeing the last sentence, Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then thought to himself, "Damn it."
Before the words were even finished, the panel changed again!
"Since the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect is still alive, I will draw a prize once: the Golden Jade Book."
