Chapter 1702 - 1014: Purple Sky Train

Sui Yi returned to the Levitating Ice Palace once more, spending some time and mental power carving some sacrificial texts and secret scripts. She believed in Yi’s promises that Ice Venerable would fulfill them, but she never expected to see someone in the mural corridor outside the Ice Palace.

Du Zhi.

She only just realized how remarkably beautiful Du Zhi was, or rather, how darkly beautiful.

Especially those eyes.

They seemed to spread vast fields of withered and decaying roses every moment, it was poison.

Sui Yi knew this was not a chance encounter.

Du Zhi walked up to her, looking at a mural of the battle between Hawk and the Levitating Ice Palace three thousand years ago. Obviously, Sui Yi had been viewing this painting earlier as well.

"Teacher is the only one who has given him such humiliation, more so than when he fiercely fought the Ice Palace, ultimately captured while shielding me..."

Sui Yi smiled faintly, "Then he must know, I merely took advantage."

"Teacher’s advantage, yet also caused great anxiety within Hawk’s direct lineage."

As an heir, realizing that her heritage ring might actually belong to someone else.

It’s not that she hadn’t suspected Sui Yi was lying, but the mere fact that he could control it already verified the possibility existed.

So Du Zhi is Ying Yuan’s sister then.

"No need to be anxious."

Sui Yi’s words did not stir any emotions within Du Zhi, an inherently solitary person; she only awaited Sui Yi’s next words.

"It’s not mine, mistaken."

This response was indeed...

Du Zhi frowned slightly.

She and Ying Yuan both possessed skeptical natures, considering any possibility with divergent thinking. Sui Yi’s ability to control this heritage ring had already made her question whether the founder’s acquired ring belonged to Sui Yi’s lineage. Now he claimed it was a mistake...

Before Du Zhi could determine the truth in Sui Yi’s words, a ring had already appeared before her.

Being from Hawk’s lineage, Du Zhi naturally could confirm it was a family belonging; she hesitated not and took the ring, hearing Sui Yi’s last words before leaving.

"It’s fake."

Four words.

Du Zhi remained silent for a long time.

————————

The reason for revealing the truth of the ring to Du Zhi was because it was passed down from Hawk’s ancestors, and for investigation, Ying Yuan would undoubtedly handle it best, and Sui Yi was sure she would certainly take notice.

Though the other party might not share the information in the future.

After Du Zhi left, Ice Venerable did not seek out Sui Yi again, being too busy hunting Thousand Buddha, then purging other ape factions, taking nearly a month to completely stabilize the situation.

A month?

Already enough to frighten.

Sui Yi heard that within this month, Starshine and Golden Shine’s side also erupted into civil war between Dragon and Ape Sects. Starshine, after all, lacked an Ice Venerable, nor had drawn in someone as immensely powerful as Dragon Maiden Yin Lih, resulting in the ape faction rising, whereas the stronger Golden Shine Administrative Region reached a stalemate...

In summary, the three major strongest administrative regions outside Purple Sky seemed to be evenly matched.

Yet the highest, most elite first administrative region Purple Sky remained unperturbed.

"In Starshine, the one rising was Dawning’s leader Greedy Wolf Star, a person unscrupulous and erratic in style. This person once proclaimed in public that he wanted to be the leader if he was to be one, the most powerful leader, so ultimately he became one, having killed the former Lord of Starshine, with family members dead or escaped. Though the situation isn’t as stable as Ice Gleam, it’s wickedly exuberant, no one dares challenge him. But..."

Sui Yi heard the Master of the Ice Heart Studio pause, seemingly with a hint of amusement: "But the former Lord of Starshine had a son and a daughter, elder son Xing Yuanye, younger daughter Xing Yuanqing. Xing Yuanye had been sent away by the former lord many years ago and now serves beside the Purple Sky Dragon Emperor, greatly valued, while Xing Yuanqing had poor health for years, staying within the mansion, not seeing guests, but later escaped the day of the hunt."

So it’s a potential threat?

However, the Master of the Ice Heart Studio was skeptical of the two’s chance of revenge, and Sui Yi also found it difficult because Greedy Wolf Star’s methods were quite ruthless and minded heavily; none of his enemies had a good end.

Now ascended, the shift of the Lord of Starshine to Greedy Wolf Star as Star Emperor, his influence is stronger, so not easily pulled down.

Compared to the settled dust of Starshine and Ice Gleam, Golden Shine’s side was the killing of another pair.

"The original Lord of Golden Shine, Golden Emperor, due to being severely wounded in a rebellion a hundred years ago, has teetered on the brink these years. His four kings are divided into two parts, one being Tian Kui and Fu Jun, the other Yuan Zhan and Mei Ji. The previous battle ended in a draw, yet exposed Golden Emperor’s tenuous condition and inability to resolve the internal strife among his subordinates."
