Chapter 1595: Euphoria Underground Palace

Ji Fanxin didn’t hide it from Zhang Ruochen. She told him about going to the Yin and Yang Palace to find her senior sister.

That was her most important goal. Saving the other prides of the Thousand Pistil Field was the second goal.

Going into the Yin and Yang Palace to investigate is still very dangerous. If I go with someone as strong as Ji Fanxin, I’ll be able to escape even if we’re exposed. It’ll be much better than going by myself.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen agreed to Ji Fanxin’s conditions. They would cooperate temporarily and help each other.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen’s figure wavered and turned into a tall silver-haired man with a pair of dragon horns and a mask. His robe had been chosen carefully. It was a flying dragon saint robe.

Ji Fanxin, on the other hand, became extremely ugly and weak. Her skin was dark yellow and she also wore a mask. She followed closely behind Zhang Ruochen.

The two walked toward the Yin and Yang Palace’s gates one after another.

Walking under the Yin Yang Mirror, Zhang Ruochen felt strong Spiritual Power flood toward him. However, half of it was stopped by the Unfounded Pearl. The remaining Spiritual Power wasn’t enough to see through his Traceless 36 Changes.

After entering the Yin and Yang Palace safely, Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin were both relieved.

Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the Mercury Gourd and released Blackie.

“It’s only a few formations. Leave it to me.”

Blackie was very fast. He flew into the darkness as a dark shadow and vanished quickly.

“How did you bring that Immortal Bird in? Spatial treasure?” Ji Fanxin asked Zhang Ruochen with Spiritual Power.

Zhang Ruochen obviously wouldn’t tell her about something like the Mercury Gourd. After all, they hadn’t known each other for too long. He couldn’t reveal all his hidden cards.

“So what if I have a spatial treasure?” Zhang Ruochen answered vaguely. “Would you want to go in?”

“Of course not.”

Ji Fanxin would rather disguise herself as Zhang Ruochen’s servant than go into the spatial treasure and have him bring her into the Yin and Yang Palace. What if Zhang Ruochen trapped her in there?

In the end, Ji Fanxin was also guarded against Zhang Ruochen.

There was no day or night in the Yin and Yang Palace. After walking in, the sky above was hidden with heavy demonic clouds and no shred of light could be seen.

In the dojo created by the Moon Goddess, there were many pavilions, pagodas, flowers, and tall lover trees. Many spiritual lanterns were dispersed throughout. The dim light made everything look dreamy.

There were quite a lot of cultivators here. Most wore masks or bamboo hats like Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin.

Of course, some who didn’t seem to care about their reputations walked in boldly and strode toward the pavilions and pagodas. They seemed to be regulars.

An Absolute Saint in gray clothing noticed Zhang Ruochen. After studying Zhang Ruochen for a long time, he finally walked over and smiled. “Lord, it’s your first time at the Yin and Yang Palace, right?”

“Indeed,” Zhang Ruochen said. “And you are?”

The gray-robed man cupped his hands in greeting. “I am Chang Fengxu, a cultivator of the Black Demon Field. I am a receptionist here. How may I help you?”

Zhang Ruochen put on a cold and proud expression. “Before coming to the Truth Heavenly Domain, I heard from some senior brothers that the Yin and Yang Palace is a rare paradise, so I wanted to come see.”

Chang Fengxu guessed that Zhang Ruochen was the descendant of some dragon Supreme Saint and had a high status. Smiling, he said, “I’m not bragging, but you won’t be able to find many places like the Yin and Yang Palace in the entire Heaven Field. But would you like to buy a clean slave or just play around?”

“What kind of play?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Not only does the Yin and Yang Palace have Wine and Flesh, we also have the Euphoria Underground Palace. Each has a different kind of play…”

Then Chang Fengxu started describing it to Zhang Ruochen in detail. Some of his words were so vulgar and dirty that even Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brows.

The “ugly girl” Ji Fanxin standing behind him tried hard to control her emotions, but Zhang Ruochen could sense that her breathing quickened. Cold Qi spread from her.

Chang Fengxu was very smart and sensed something wrong. He glanced at Ji Fanxin and smiled meaningfully. “Lord, your servant seems easily embarrassed. You shouldn’t have brought her here.”

“Just a little girl,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How can she bear the things you’re saying? It’s normal for her to be embarrassed.”

Chang Fengxu was still suspicious. “Why do I feel like she’s not a little girl? Judging from her eyes, she seems unhappy with you. Lord, a servant like that needs to be punished and trained.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to punish Ji Fanxin, but he still had to put up the act. Eyes turning cold, he glared at Ji Fanxin and uttered, “Why are you standing so far from me? Do you want me to sell you to the Yin and Yang Palace?”

Ji Fanxin thought that Zhang Ruochen was being reckless and ground her teeth in anger, but she still forced it down. Taking small steps, she walked to Zhang Ruochen’s side with a lowered head as if she’d gotten scolded.

Zhang Ruochen knew how strong Ji Fanxin was, so he didn’t continue to reprimand her. Instead, he said to Chang Fengxu, “Do you know my status? Why would I play with the leftovers from others? Take me to the Euphoria Underground Palace. I wish to buy some pretty Saint slaves.”

“You must be an esteemed guest to qualify to enter.”

“How do I become an esteemed guest?”

“If you pay one million saint stones, you can purchase the esteemed guest status,” Chang Fengxu said.

Zhang Ruochen only had a few thousand saint stones left. How could he produce one million?

Suddenly, he got an idea. He looked at Ji Fanxin and said, “Xin’er, I left my saint stones with you. Take one million out immediately.

Ji Fanxin was still pretending to be timid. She lowered her head and stared at the ground, but she’d already beaten Zhang Ruochen up many times in her mind. When she suddenly heard the nickname “Xin’er,” she was even more furious.

Her calm heart almost broke down.

“You can’t even afford one million saint stones?” Ji Fanxin asked with Spiritual Power, clenching her teeth.

“Nonsense,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I’m helping you find people. It should be you who pays.”

Ji Fanxin worked to squeeze out a smile. She took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhang Ruochen. “Lord, here are the saint stones that you need. They’re all inside.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded in satisfaction and checked the storage bag. There were indeed one million saint stones. He tied it up again and tossed it to Chang Fengxu.

“Congratulations on becoming an esteemed guest of the Yin and Yang Palace. Please accept this Yin Yang Badge.”

Chang Fengxu finally smiled comfortably after taking the saint stones. He handed a metal badge to Zhang Ruochen and led him and Ji Fanxin toward the Euphoria Underground Palace.

Along the way, Zhang Ruochen sent a beam of Spiritual Power to secretly check the structures, formations, Evil Way cultivators’ auras, and position of fatal tactics in the Yin and Yang Palace.

It was alright if he didn’t check. But after checking, he was instantly shocked.

There were ten large pavilions in the dojo. Each one had a strong Saint King aura. There was a formation around each formation with densely-packed formation runes interweaving on the surface.

In addition, Zhang Ruochen also discovered that the dark clouds overhead hid many Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons. They were activated by formations, so they clearly weren’t one or two Yao weapons. They were probably terrifying. Any cultivator who dared to cause trouble here would be killed instantly.

The Yin and Yang Palace isn’t just a place for finding pleasure. It’s a fatal place. If these killing mechanisms are all activated, probably even Ji Fanxin will get killed.

Zhang Ruochen was terrified. He worked hard to calculate how he could avoid these fatal mechanisms if he really wanted to attack the Yin and Yang Palace.

There should be some safer places. After all, the Evil Way cultivators would be worried about getting hurt too.

Ji Fanxin clearly discovered these features too. Her eyes grew serious and she became more careful.

A while later, they reached the entrance of the Euphoria Underground Palace.

There was a man with a dark face guarding the entrance. He was a half-step Saint King.

The man sat cross-legged on the ground and was cultivating. Strands of Divine Fire Jingmie snaked around his body, going between the 144 apertures.

He’s actually using Divine Fire Jingmie to refine his apertures. All 144 can withstand the fire too. He’s probably not any weaker than me.

Zhang Ruochen was shocked inside. Then he studied the man and quickly realized his identity. He must be Qing Liaoya, 73 on the Saints Merits Rank.

Chang Fengxu bowed respectfully toward the man. “Senior Brother Qing, an esteemed guest wishes to go to the Euphoria Underground Palace. Can you please open the door?”

Qing Liaoya looked up. Scanning Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin with a pair of fiery eyes, he laughed. “You have such an ugly woman with you. No wonder you came to the Yin and Yang Palace.”

He can see through our masks, Zhang Ruochen thought. As expected of Qing Liaoya. He’s quite powerful.

Qing Liaoya pressed down on the jade stone beside him and the underground palace’s gates opened. Chang Fengxu, Zhang Ruochen, and Ji Fanxin walked inside.

Thud!

The heavy stone gates closed again.

Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin were shocked. They both looked back hurriedly.

Zhang Ruochen even attacked like lightning and slammed a palm on the stone door. Rings of energy waves rippled on the surface, forcing Zhang Ruochen back a dozen steps.

Chang Fengxu chuckled. “Lord, no need to panic. The stone door must be closed for safety concerns. If an accident happens, no one will be able to afford the consequences.”

“There are so many strong cultivators here,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How can there be accidents?”

“There are some very powerful girls imprisoned in the Euphoria Underground Palace,” Chang Fengxu said. “Some are even in the Saint King Realm. If they escape, they’ll definitely cause a ruckus. This is why we added the stone door and put down formations. Even a seventh step Saint King shouldn’t dream about breaking through the door.”

“There are Saint Kings imprisoned here?” Zhang Ruochen was taken aback.

“Of course. And more than one. This is the Yin and Yang Palace, after all. As long as you can afford the saint stones, you’ll definitely see a new world, haha.”

Chang Fengxu led Zhang Ruochen across stone steps and toward the heart of the Euphoria Underground Palace.
