Chapter 767: Chapter 223: The Demon Blade That Cuts Lifespan, the Terrifying and Devious Li Yuan

He just completed the forging, only bringing out the soul’s greatest characteristic, while using Source Blood to anchor the blade, making it his personal item.

However, the curse is so terrifying that it suppresses all of its features.

Li Yuan asked, "Where did the curse come from?"

Yan Hongxiu said erratically, "Starry sky... the dazzling starry sky... beautiful starry sky... the starry sky is dangerous... don’t speak, don’t respond... I... I don’t remember..."

She rambled on, becoming more disordered.

Li Yuan interrupted her and changed the question: "Since you are an Artifact Spirit, what use do you have?"

After a long time... the Artifact Spirit in the sword finally recovered.

Yan Hongxiu said, "A telepathic bond... normal Artifact Spirits are dull and foolish, but I will obey and understand your more complex commands."

Li Yuan suddenly tossed the sword, and with his mind’s movement, the sword indeed spun and swirled as he imagined, going unhindered.

After whistling several circles in mid-air, it settled back into his palm.

This mobility and flexibility is something that other Spiritual Artifacts simply do not possess.

Li Yuan flicked his wrist again.

The Black Blade flew out, swiftly rotating over more than ten miles of land within his perception, then flew back.

"Since you are called Yan Hongxiu, then this blade shall be named Red Sleeve Blade, and you can be called Xiaohong."

"Yes... Master."

Li Yuan squinted at the Black Blade; it’s hard to discern the truth in the woman’s words, but since this blade was forged by him and imbued with his Source Blood, he decided to let it be for now.

Looking up at the sky, it was already dusk, and today his Eunuch hadn’t appeared at all.

After some thought, he held the "Nine Temporary Patrol Tokens" and quickly appeared in the Divine Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The hall doors were closed, the sunset outside.

On the divan, Xie Wei’s hair was disheveled, lazily sitting to the side, and upon seeing Li Yuan suddenly appear, she beckoned with her hand and said, "You’ve finally come."

Li Yuan glanced around.

Xie Wei said softly, "It’s just that the Empress Dowager is so obsessed with masculinity, unable to extricate herself, so I’ve been fooling around with you on the divan all day... Now, probably everyone inside and outside the palace knows you’re my forbidden affair.

So, after this, I can openly keep you, and if I don’t let you go out, you won’t be able to leave."

Li Yuan said, "Thus, I can appear whenever I want, and as soon as I appear, Shi Shabai will come looking for me."

"Yes."

Xie Wei nodded.

Li Yuan suddenly said, "I’m looking for the Yellow-robed Man, but he’s vanished."

Xie Wei thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "He’s called Mr. Shan, came twice, but I don’t know him at all."

Li Yuan said, "He’s hiding."

Xie Wei said, "Can you handle him now?"

"I can give it a try," Li Yuan said.

Xie Wei’s eyes flashed a hint of brilliance and hatred, then said, "Then I’ll help you lure him out; he’s the Xie Family’s great nemesis and the biggest obstacle to the Empress Dowager’s attempt to weaken the fiefs."

Li Yuan asked, "How to lure him?"

Xie Wei stretched her long legs, with a silk skirt gently covering them, she rested her chin on her hand, her expression changed, her eyes seductive like silk, and she softly said, "Xiaoxinzi, come to the divan, let me whisper to you..."

...

...

At the moment.

In a hidden chamber far away from all doors.

The Yellow-robed Man sat withered.

Until now, he was still immersed in that epic battle.

He consumed an Upper Grade Celestial Fire Spirit Stone, an Upper Grade Earth Fiend Spirit Stone, and many Middle Grade Spirit Stones to barely stave off the attack from the Western Pole monster.

The power of that monster was almost unfathomable; the Yellow-robed Man dared not move now, because the last batch of "Spirit Stones sent through the Teleportation Array" had been mostly exhausted in that battle.

And the Teleportation Array was old, each time only transporting a little bit, and after that, it required at least several decades before it could be used again.

The best and most concealed way now is through mortal ships for transportation.

And the Yellow-robed Man was waiting for such transport.

If he were in the Immortal Realm, he could quickly obtain what he needed, but on this land, he couldn’t even fly, let alone anything else.

At this time, each door in front of him seemed like a pathway to the monster’s lair.

If he dared to walk over, he might end up in front of that monster.

"How did that kind of fire get fused by the monster?"

"With such fire fused, isn’t it that no amount can be exhausted?"

"Is the Divine Spirit of the Western Pole really that terrifying?"

The Yellow-robed Man felt uncertain and suspicious.

His reaction at the moment was far beyond Li Yuan’s expectations.

Li Yuan thought the opponent’s power was constant, but the opponent actually... achieved it by consuming many precious resources.

And now, with those resources gone, the Yellow-robed Man naturally dared not move recklessly.

But while he dared not move, Li Yuan had already forged new equipment, ready to seek him out again.

...

...

Half a month later.

Shi Shabai angrily marched towards the Imperial Palace, and after some brief reporting he arrived at the Divine Hall.

He looked up, and saw the dignified and beautiful Empress Dowager together with the tall and handsome Eunuch.

Shi Shabai took a glance at the Eunuch.

The Eunuch subtly nodded, showing deference.

Only then did Shi Shabai look at Xie Wei and said, "Empress Dowager, why have Gao Kaiping’s people sealed off the entrance to Lianyi House?

With the entrance sealed, our people can’t enter, and Lianyi House can’t integrate with the new Ghost Realm.

No new Meat Field can be created, our power will be weakened, and those who oppose the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will grow stronger!"

After saying that, he made a gesture to the Eunuch named Chang Xin.

"Chang Xin" quickly followed and said, "Yes, Empress Dowager, what should we do about this?"

The Empress Dowager had no reaction to Shi Shabai’s words, but listening to the handsome Eunuch beside her, she finally said, "Xiaoxinzi, even I have no way.
