Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 288 The Circularity Reappears!

Zhou Wei was very familiar with this colored gas.

When Hu Youniang was killed, a blue aura appeared in the several halos she left behind, which flew towards the imperial city!

Upon seeing the bright yellow aura, Zhou Wei immediately sensed that it was something special.

"Princess, do you feel anything unusual?" Zhou Wei turned around and asked the carriage.

The caravan had already moved further and further away from the city gate. The princess no longer cared about her status and got out of the carriage, sitting on A Bao's head with Zhou Wei.

"I didn't sense anything unusual, but what happened?"

Zhou Wei recounted seeing the bright yellow aura seep into the jade pendant, and Jiang Yueli took off the jade pendant and played with it in her hand.

“We knew this jade was strange a long time ago, and now the bright yellow aura that has seeped into it just happens to confirm our suspicions.”

Zhou Wei pondered for a moment: "Could it be that the fake emperor bestowed this jade pendant upon the princess because he wanted the aura of the Ming Emperor?"

The princess was reminded of what Zhou Wei had said about the bluish-white aura flying towards the direction of the Imperial City's Crane Palace.

"Could it be that the fake emperor is collecting these various kinds of energy?"

The two exchanged a glance, feeling as if they had touched upon the truth.

"But what do these different colors actually mean?" The eldest princess was still puzzled.

Zhou Wei stroked A Bao's ear, her mind churning with thoughts. In a flash of inspiration, she realized the key.

“Princess, think about it. When the aura of blue and white appeared, it was related to Chu Tiance. Chu Tiance is the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination.”

"The appearance of the bright yellow aura now is related to the two princes, who are of noble birth."

The eldest princess was startled by what she heard, and then she realized what she meant.

"Weiwei, do you mean that these different colors of energy are related to one's identity?"

Zhou Wei nodded. "Although we can't be 100% sure yet, we can keep an eye on things."

"For example, the aura of bluish-white is related to the talent of scholars, while the aura of bright yellow is associated with royalty."

The princess pondered for a moment, then realized that things might not be that simple.

But now that no more gas has appeared, we can only follow Zhou Wei's advice and pay close attention to this.

If this tainted aura is truly what the fake emperor desires, then we must not allow him to obtain it under any circumstances!

The convoy traveled for a long time before stopping at a teahouse to rest.

Wan Qianliang, who had been detained, was also allowed to go out for fresh air.

Shen Shuqing handed a cup of tea to Wan Qianliang, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that Shen Shuqing was about to leave, Wan Qianliang called out to her in a low voice.

"Junior sister, we're almost at the Valley of Divine Healers, and you still don't want to reveal your identity?"

Shen Shuqing's face paled. She glanced at Zhou Wei and, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, said, "Senior brother, that lowly servant is a bit strange. Since we haven't been to the Divine Doctor Valley for a while, it would be better if we went along with her for now."

Wan Qianliang looked helpless as he recalled being kicked away by Zhou Wei and having his entire body's energy suppressed.

He sighed and said, "She does have some tricks up her sleeve, but we don't need to be afraid of her."

Shen Shuqing shook her head: "Senior brother... you were locked up far away that night and didn't know what happened."

As Shen Shuqing spoke, she glanced at Zhou Wei again and saw that Zhou Wei was smiling at her. Startled, she quickly lowered her head.

"They...slew a powerful cultivator at the Land Immortal Realm!"

bang-

Wan Qianliang dropped the teacup in his hand and stared at Shen Shuqing in shock.

The sound of the teacup shattering attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Shen Shuqing quickly scolded, "I kindly offered you tea, and you don't appreciate it? You'll know how serious it is when we get to the Valley of Divine Healers."

The young monk and Tan Lin who were chatting only glanced at each other before turning their heads away and no longer paying attention.

Wan Qianliang was still in shock and did not believe what Shen Shuqing said at all.

"Junior sister, are you insane? A terrestrial immortal realm? That's a realm that hasn't appeared in a hundred years, and it was actually killed by that lowly servant?"

Shen Shuqing nodded gently, "Yes, there was a huge commotion that night. I was stopped by Jiang Zao inside the house and couldn't go out to check at all."

"But later, I went to see the traces left by their fight. Half of the courtyard was reduced to dust! That powerful being at the Land Immortal Realm also died in it."

Wan Qianliang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, as if he were listening to something from heaven.

That's a realm of celestial beings on land!

Even their master, Wan Fengnian, has not yet reached the realm of terrestrial immortals.

Such an unattainable realm, yet he died so pathetically at the hands of that vile servant Zhou Wei?

Seeing that Wan Qianliang remained silent, Shen Shuqing said, "My shock that day was no less than that of my senior brother, so neither of us can let our guard down before we reach the Valley of Divine Physicians."

"Only by seeing my master can I finally kill that bitch!"

Wan Qianliang slowly came to his senses and then said, "But judging from the road they are taking, it doesn't seem to be heading towards the Valley of Divine Healers."

Shen Shuqing nodded: "Yes, the Divine Doctor Valley will probably have to wait until the very end."

"The reason they stopped here to rest was because they had a disagreement about whether to go to Kongshan Temple first or Zhengshan Academy first."

Not far away, Zhou Wei was also discussing things with the Princess on a rattan chair.

"Mr. Tan was eager for us to go to Zhengshan Academy first, but the little monk wanted to go back to Kongshan Temple first."

The eldest princess glanced at Zhu Qi and asked Zhou Wei, "Weiwei, where do you think we should go first?"

"If I had to choose, I would naturally go to Kongshan Temple first."

Why?

"The matter at Zhengshan Academy is too strange and probably difficult to resolve. Zhu Qi said that several eminent monks at Kongshan Temple are extremely capable. Let's go to Kongshan Temple first; perhaps we can get some help there."

The high-difficulty dungeon of Zhengshan Academy might still be manageable for Zhou Wei.

After all, she has a system that might help her escape the illusion and see the truth at a crucial moment.

But it's hard to say about others.

If Zhou Wei didn't find something to protect her life, she really wouldn't feel at ease letting Jiang Yueli enter Zhengshan Academy directly like that.

Although Kongshan Temple has declined significantly in recent years, thanks to the efforts of several eminent monks, they were able to discover that the stolen auspicious energy of Kongshan Temple had fallen into the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is very close to the truth!

The root of all this probably lies with that fake emperor.

Therefore, Zhou Wei believed that these eminent monks were truly skilled.

Go to Kongshan Temple first; you might find a way to unlock the Zhengshan Academy instance there.

Most importantly, the little monk secretly told Zhou Wei yesterday that he had sensed the appearance of the circle.

The eldest princess was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"You mean, Monk Yuan is with us?"

Zhou Wei nodded, "Yuanxing has a Heavenly Mystery Stone on him, which Zhu Qi has never retrieved! The Heavenly Mystery Stone is very important to Kongshan Temple. If Yuanxing is really following us, he must have a purpose."

"If we can lure it to Kongshan Temple, it will be easier to deal with."

Since that was the case, the eldest princess made a decision to go to Kongshan Temple first.

With Jiang Yueli's approval, Zhou Wei stood up and greeted everyone.

"Let's go, everyone, let's set off with the princess to Kongshan Temple to pray for blessings!"

The little monk was overjoyed upon hearing this, but Tan Lin shook his head helplessly and could only pat the little monk's head.

The group began packing their bags and set off again.

On a mountain peak near the tea house, Yuanxing glared fiercely at Zhou Wei and her group who were busy at work.

"Are we going to Kongshan Temple? Very well, we can take care of that bastard and those old codgers there."

Behind Yuanxing stood a man and a woman.

It was Jiang Nianxing and Jiang Nianmei who disappeared with him that day.
