Chapter 958 958: Next Destination!
Tang Li Xue became curious about Yama Palace, so she decided to ask Xi'er: "That pervert holy son looked very surprised and frightened when he heard 'Yama Palace' name. Is Yama Palace really that scary? Are they even stronger than Blood God Cult?"
"Eh? Sister Xue, your friend did not even tell you anything about his Yama Palace?" Xi'er asked back in disbelief.
Tang Li Xue helplessly shook her head.
Xi'er immediately explained everything she knew about Yama Palace to Tang Li Xue: "Yama Palace may be also an unorthodox organization like the Blood God Cult, but Yama Palace are focusing on assassination."
"As long as anyone pays a sufficient price, no matter who they are, they will be Yama Palace's targets of assassination."
"Yama Palace's reputation has already spread throughout the entire Azure Mist Continent."
"In other words, the Yama Palace did not only exist in the Great Wei Dynasty, but also the other five great dynasties. Yama Palace's assassins and agents are practically everywhere in this Azure Mist Continent."
"Compared to the Blood God Cult, who can only do sneaky things behind the Great Wei Dynasty's back like rats in the gutter, the Yama Palace is clearly much more terrifying and massive."
"They might even be able to easily rival any of the six great dynasties with their power if they want to."
"So far, the success rate of Yama Palace's assassination is still 100%. They never failed to kill their targets, not even once! No wonder the Blood God Cult's Holy Son previously looked so terrified, right?" Xi'er concluded her explanation in a tone filled with awe.
"Yama Palace is so amazing?" Tang Li Xue muttered in amazement.
"Then why didn't the Second Prince just hire Yama Palace to kill the First Prince and the Third Prince since long ago? That way, he can easily secure the throne for himself, right?" Tang Li Xue asked again in puzzlement.
Xi'er shook her head and replied: "It is not that easy to hire Yama Palace to kill someone."
"Furthermore, Yama Palace also has several rules they set for themselves, such as they will never get involved in the battle for the throne, they would never touch anyone from the royal families of any Great Dynasties, and they would also never kill ordinary people without any cultivation." Xi'er told Tang Li Xue while playing around with Yaya.
Tang Li Xue nodded in approval at Yama Palace's rules while hugging Little Loki and caressing it gently in deep thought.
Getting involved in the battle for the throne or killing any members of the royal family could easily trigger the anger of the six great dynasties.
If they were not careful about that, the six great dynasties could unite to clean up the Yama Palace together.
At that point, no matter how powerful Yama Palace was, they would definitely not be able to withstand the onslaught of the six great dynasties and would suffer many losses. There might even be a possibility that they would be completely wiped out by the six great dynasties if they were not careful.
'Wow, so that Miracle Doctor Xu is actually the Master of that Yama Palace?! What a dashing young man! Not only is he extremely handsome, has peerless medical skill and unmatched cultivation talent, but he also have such a scary background. He is practically overflowing with protagonist aura!' Tang Li Xue was amazed in her heart.
Then she suddenly felt quite glad and relieved about her decision to give the [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] to Doctor Xu before.
Well, at the very least, she did not completely waste her [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] for nothing.
Giving such a precious thing away to build a good connection with an extremely powerful person should not be considered a loss, right?
To be honest, Tang Li Xue felt really painful and reluctant when she previously gave the [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] to Doctor Xu, even though he had already saved her life.
It could not be helped since every [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] was extremely precious for Tang Li Xue and everyone in her team.
Not only was its taste unbelievably delicious, but all of its effects were also amazingly heaven-defying.
The reason why Tang Li Xue had not even tasted any [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] yet was because she had previously reached her maximum level and could no longer level up in the Secret Realm.
The [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] contains extremely massive and pure spiritual energy that could greatly improve cultivation level, and it could even nourishing and strengthening the soul and body without any side effect, so Tang Li Xue concluded that she could level up many times and get many stats increase if she consumed it.
She planned to consume all [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] in one go after she evolved into [Rare] Grade Beast, but who knew that so many unpleasant things happened one after another, which led her to become a temporarily crippled fox in the end like now.
Her current body was already filled with destructive space energy, so if she dared to consume even a tiny little bit [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense], she would certainly explode and die on the spot.
Tang Li Xue could only helplessly shake her head in disappointment.
In fact, she really wanted to have a taste of this [100,000 years Stalagtite Essense] so badly since the description said it tasted very sweet, creamy, refreshing, and delicious. It even said that any kind of food or drink with bad taste will become extremely delicious and unforgettable with only one drop of it mixed with water.
Tang Li Xue greedily gulped down her saliva just by imagining how delicious it tasted. She hastily wiped her pink lips with her sleeve before any of her saliva dripped down to Little Loki, who was lying lazily on her lap.
Right at this moment, Xi'er suddenly asked something very crucial to Tang Li Xue: "Oh, right, Sister Xue... Where are we going right now? Are we going straight to Frost Pine Town at the border of the Great Wei Dynasty?"
Tang Li Xue did not immediately reply to Xi'er's question.
She frowned deeply while pondering their next destination carefully for a while.
After a few moments, Tang Li Xue squinted her topaz blue eyes as her gaze turned firm, then spoke to Xi'er in a solemn tone: "At first, I planned to head straight to Frost Pine Town, but I realized that our strength might not be enough to survive in this Azure Mist Continent."
Xi'er also frowned in puzzlement before she asked Tang Li Xue again: "Then what should we do?"
"We need to get more reinforcement, so our trip to Frost Pine Town will be safer." Tang Li Xue muttered while taking out the map of the Azure Mist Continent from her space pouch.
Tang Li Xue unfurled the map of the Azure Mist Continent and pointed her slender finger at a certain location on the map, then boldly expressed her decision: "We will take a little bit detour. This will be our next destination."
Xi'er widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed in realization: "Yin Burial Ground?! Ah, I see! So, you want to..."
Tang Li Xue nodded her head in satisfaction when Xi'er immediately understood her intention.
She interrupted Xi'er's words halfway and declared proudly: "That is right~! I want you to use your [Sword of Disaster] to build a powerful army of the undead!"
They might be able to easily find many corpses or ghosts in any burial ground, but those were not what Tang Li Xue had wanted.
But this Yin Burial Ground was completely different...
Yin Burial Ground was the place to bury the brave Great Wei soldiers who had fallen in the war.
If they could build an army of the undead or ghosts from those fallen Great Wei soldiers, then the power of that army would be unimaginably powerful!
It would be even better if their army of the undead or ghosts could use the Battle Formation like when they were still alive!
Yes, Tang Li Xue was actually coveting their Battle Formation!
Tang Li Xue was truly amazed when she watched how powerful the Battle Formations used by the Imperial Palace Guards in their battle against the Blood God Cult's people before.
Defensive Battle Formation, like Nether Disc Battle Formation, could allow a dozen Core Formation Stage guards or so to block the full-powered attacks from several Nascent Soul Stage Masters.
While Offensive Battle Formation, like Lightning Spear Battle Formation, could help a dozen Core Formation Stage guards fight against several Nascent Soul Stage Masters on equal ground, and they even managed to slay one Nascent Soul Stage Master.
Not to mention, if this army of the undead built from the fallen Great Wei soldiers was continuously nurtured in the [Sword of Disaster], they would get stronger and stronger rapidly over time.
Tang Li Xue already began to imagine that her army of the undead would become so strong that they surpassed even the elite armies of the six Great Dynasties.
Then nobody would dare to look down on her anymore, and if she found anyone who was not pleasing to her eyes, she would only need to order her army to teach those unpleasant people a lesson.
She and her team did not even need to move their finger to do anything. Her undead army would do everything for them.
Even when they eat, her undead army would prepare the food for them and feed the food to their mouth.
"That is so cool~!" Tang Li Xue took a deep breath and exclaimed as her topaz blue eyes were shining in excitement.
Tang Li Xue patted Lucia's back and pointed her slender finger toward the direction of the Yin Burial Ground while yelling cheerfully: "Let's go~! We will head to Yin Burial Ground now~!"
