Chapter 1276: Chapter 336: The Power of Heaven and Earth

Luo Yi is sick?

Ye Lingyue glanced at the person behind Situ Nan and found that Luo Yi, who always followed Situ Nan, was indeed absent.

Last night, the person was fine, how could something happen after just one night.

Could it be that Luo Yi encountered some mishap?

Ye Lingyue’s heart was on edge.

Di Shen also slightly frowned, Situ Nan’s intentions were too obvious, he clearly wanted to send him away and then make a move on Ling Yue.

Even though he had already discussed it with Ye Lingyue, Di Shen was still somewhat worried.

Seeing Di Shen hesitating, Ye Lingyue took the initiative to speak.

"Thanks to Lord Situ’s recognition, Di Shen and I are very happy to serve. Di Shen, as Lord Situ said, you should leave the city first while I assist Lord Situ here. The sooner you leave and return, the more careful you will be."

Having said this much, if Di Shen still didn’t agree, it would certainly arouse Situ Nan’s suspicion.

Di Shen reluctantly agreed.

Shortly after Di Shen left, Ye Lingyue began patrolling around the City Lord’s Mansion with Situ Nan.

"May I ask Lord Situ what illness Captain Luo Yi has? I somewhat understand medical skills and might be of help."

Ye Lingyue subtly probed.

"It’s an old injury, I’ve already had someone look at it, Madam Di needn’t worry. So Madam Di knows medical skills, could you be an Alchemist?"

Situ Nan looked warily at Ye Lingyue. Early on, he hadn’t considered that Ye Lingyue, not cultivating the Power of Reincarnation, might be an Alchemist.

"Lord Situ, where am I an Alchemist? My medical skills were learned from a doctor with exceptional skill. Since Captain Luo Yi is fine, I won’t meddle any further. By the way, what are her daily tasks now that she’s absent? I’m worried I may not be able to handle them."

Ye Lingyue surveyed the City Lord’s Mansion; Gold City’s Changzhu Residence was indeed grand.

Compared to the dilapidated Huangquan City’s City Lord’s Mansion, Gold City’s City Lord’s Mansion was at least ten times larger.

Yet, such a grand City Lord’s Mansion has an eerie chill during daylight, like a dead estate with few living people.

It seemed Situ Nan had replaced most of the guards with Human-shaped Soldiers to control the City Lord’s Mansion after seizing the Puppet Book. These Human-shaped Soldiers were mostly unseen and only appeared to catch enemies off guard during invasions.

"The City Lord’s Mansion is very secure. After the City Lord fell seriously ill, he entrusted all affairs to me. As Captain, Luo Yi’s main task is a daily patrol and usually following me. I am Fang Venerate, normally refining Elixir Pills for the City Lord’s health, crafting Artifacts, and reviewing city affairs."

Situ Nan answered smoothly.

If she hadn’t known his sinister nature, Ye Lingyue would think he was a diligent staff member.

Ye Lingyue secretly despised him, occasionally stealing glances at Situ Nan. The remaining lower half of the Puppet Book must be with Situ Nan; she just didn’t know if he hid it on himself or at his residence.

Luo Yi’s condition was uncertain; it seemed she must find a way to sneak into Situ Nan’s residence for a search.

"There is my Alchemy Room ahead. Madam Di, how about taking a tour?"

Situ Nan led Ye Lingyue to a grand courtyard.

The entrance was lined with pines and cypress, with a road paved with Golden Stone in the middle.

The road was carved with a lifelike Golden Lion, a Mu Rhino, a Water Python, a Fire Cloud Roc, and an Earth Red Scorpion.

Of the mainland carvings, each of the five spiritual beasts was lifelike and life-sized, possessing a mysterious majesty as if they would emerge at any moment.

Looking at the courtyard’s setup, it likely was once City Lord Yang’s residence.

As soon as Ye Lingyue stepped onto the road, a strange scene occurred; the five spiritual beasts began to move.

The Golden Lion snarled, its golden fur standing erect with anger, the Mu Rhino seemed intent on devouring Ye Lingyue with its fierce demeanor.

The Water Python, as thick as a barrel, opened its blood-red mouth, the Fire Cloud Roc spread its wings, and the Earth Red Scorpion’s tail hung upside down, spitting Poison Liquid.

Glancing at Situ Nan beside them, he was slyly observing her with wary eyes.

Clearly, Situ Nan brought her here to test her strength.

Ye Lingyue understood.

She was a newcomer and didn’t know about the treasure within Gold City Lord’s Mansion—this Five Beasts Road ahead wasn’t known to her. It was left by the former City Lord, preserving the souls of five spiritual beasts.

Each spiritual beast possessed different Five Spirits Attributes, and was perfect for testing the Five Elements Reincarnation Power.

Normally, if assassins intruded upon the Five Beasts Road, they’d be devoured by the five spiritual beasts before reaching the City Lord.

Situ Nan brought Ye Lingyue here to test the mysterious Power of Heaven and Earth within her.

Ye Lingyue calmed herself and walked casually forward.

Since Situ Nan wanted to see her Power of Heaven and Earth, she would let him see!

Taking a step forward, she emitted a faint aura.

That first step, the aura was initially imperceptible—it was the Heaven and Earth Tribulation First Layer.

The five beasts on the Five Beasts Road roared, wanting to devour this weak opponent.

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s weak aura, Situ Nan was somewhat disappointed.

Earlier, Luo Yi had crossed this Five Beasts Road, and her momentum was far stronger.

If weaker than Luo Yi, there was no need to go through so much trouble to make her a Spirit Puppet.

But as Ye Lingyue took the second step.

The Second Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, the Power of Heaven and Earth on Ye Lingyue, flowed like a gentle stream, gradually increasing.

The initially eager five beasts seemed to be cautious now, ceasing their provocations.

Situ Nan observed, his face turning from worry to joy, realizing Ye Lingyue’s cultivation was likely similar to Luo Yi’s.

Situ Nan was about to call it off, but Ye Lingyue had already resolutely stepped forward to the third step.

The Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, the Power of Heaven and Earth, was vast and boundless. It was like a gentle stream suddenly becoming a river after a heavy rain, flowing relentlessly.

Boom—

The whole Five Beasts Road trembled like an earthquake.

Accompanied by the powerful Power of Heaven and Earth, Ye Lingyue let out a low roar.

Speaking in the language only spiritual beasts understood, combined with immense Power of Heaven and Earth, the five beast’s souls trembled as if nearly terrified out of their wits.

The Five Beasts Road instantly resumed its calm, the five beasts appearing tranquil again.

Situ Nan was petrified on the spot.

This power!

He was immediately ecstatic; it was truly heaven’s blessing. Madam Di’s Power of Heaven and Earth surpassed Luo Yi’s Mutated Thunder Power. He must have this Spirit Puppet!
