Moreover, she seemed to be from the Eastern Palace.

“Are you sure?”

Purple Cat nodded heavily and continued. The aura on her body seemed to belong to the Crown Prince.

Zhang Ronghua recalled the last time the Crown Prince had returned from the Grand Tutor’s Residence and was attacked halfway. The golden shadow had attacked at the critical moment. At that time, he had guessed that the Crown Prince had hidden a powerful force in secret. Now, it seemed that it was true!

He narrowed his eyes and thought, How much strength have you hidden?

After pondering for a while, he didn’t kill her. He walked to Gu Jiuji and stopped.

“Senior, please spare my life! Please let me live.”

With a tap of his finger, Zhang Ronghua injected a stream of Xuanhuang True Essence into its body. Its body uncontrollably shrank. After a few breaths, it became the size of a house dog.

“Why are you looking for Wu Yangjian?”

Gu Jiuji had heard the news of the birth of the Creation Spiritual Treasure, then he had entered the capital city and accidentally found the inheritance of the Heavenly God in his mansion. He had also told him everything recorded in the clan. In front of such an old monster, he would only die a more miserable death if he kept it a secret.

“Senior, please let me go!””

“You’re thinking too much,” Zhang Ronghua mocked.

A sword Qi slashed down and killed it, leaving the corpse intact. Then, he put it into the Five Dragons Spirit Taming Belt. He looked left and right, and there was no one hiding in the dark. Only then did he leave.

After a while.

When the Ziwei Dragon King woke up from his coma, his first thought was to activate his power to be on guard. Seeing that the surroundings were empty except for the torrential rain, and that there was no one left alive, even Gu Jiuji had disappeared, his anxious heart finally relaxed. He did not dare to stay any longer, afraid that another powerful cultivator would appear. He hurriedly left and rushed to the Eastern Palace to report the news here to the Crown Prince…

There was still half an hour before dawn when they returned to their home in the Vermilion Bird Lane.

He entered the courtyard.

He took a step forward and appeared outside the room. He pushed open the door, walked in, and closed the door.

He lit a candle, and the candlelight swayed, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the room.

Zhang Ronghua took Purple Cat out of his arms and placed it on the table. He took off his night clothes and changed into a black brocade robe. He pulled a chair and sat down. He took out the last bit of spiritual tea, Bitter Bodhi Tea, and used the spiritual water to make a pot. When the tea was ready, he poured two cups and placed one cup in front of Purple Cat. He smiled and said, “Drink up, little hero!”

“Meow!” Purple Cat raised its head and meowed proudly.

She stuck out her pink tongue and licked the tea, taking one mouthful after another, completely ignoring the hot tea.

Zhang Ronghua wasn’t as anxious as the tiger. He held the teacup and the lid, squinting his eyes as he thought about what happened tonight. He learned from Gu Jiuji that some ancient races, such as the Taotie Race, recorded some secrets that were unknown to people in the ancient times. Their inheritance mostly relied on their bloodline to pass down some important things. When they encountered danger or when their race was destroyed, they would destroy these secrets. The stronger one’s cultivation was, the stronger the bloodline would be, and the more information would be passed down.

There were only a few records of the inheritance of the God of Taotie. Besides the Black Demon Bead, there was also a kind of talisman called the Heavenly

Thunder Talisman. He had seen the complete inheritance of the God of Taotie. The Heavenly Thunder Talisman was behind the Black Demon Bead. It was very powerful. A Heavenly Thunder Talisman could kill a grandmaster. The materials used must be refined according to the method recorded in the inheritance of the God of Taotie. It was similar to the Black Demon Bead.

Apart from that, he also received news that Chen Jianyi wanted to kill Wu Yangjian. If he hadn’t acted in time, Wu Yangjian would have died.

Was there some other secret that prevented the Scarlet Heaven Hall from making contributions? Or did he want to silence her?

It seemed that he had to investigate and find an opportunity to ask Lu Zhantang to see if he could get any useful information from him.

At this time, the tea was already cold, the cup was drunk, the mouth was full, the taste was bitter, then sweet, until the teeth were filled with fragrance, the cup of tea was finished.

The purple cat returned to its original appearance. Its cat eyes rolled around and looked at Zhang Ronghua passionately. Although it did not speak, Zhang Ronghua understood that it was waiting for Gu Jiuji’s physical body.

He reached out his palm and patted its little head. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry! I won’t go back on my word.”

He took out Gu Jiuji’s corpse. Under the seal of the Xuanhuang True Essence, it was only the size of a dog. Even if it was dead, the aura it emitted was still very terrifying. If it was not suppressed, the entire room would have been broken by the evil aura and spread outside.

He stood up from his chair.

Zhang Ronghua made his move. Gu Jiuji was a Taotie, a top-notch ferocious beast, a powerful existence comparable to a True Dragon. Its natal heart blood was also useful to him. It could cultivate the True Spirit Treasure Technique and increase the power of this secret technique, making him stronger.

The Black Yellow True Essence rushed out from his palm and enveloped its corpse. He began to extract the blood from its heart. After a while, Zhang

Ronghua retracted his palm and frowned. Had Gu Jiuji’s heart blood been used

He looked regretful. He had missed out on a powerful transformation technique and obtained one less sacred art.

He began to purify it, and a golden light appeared, illuminating the room. He expelled the baleful aura from its body, then compressed its power, retaining its essence. When he stopped, only one-tenth of it was left. Even so, the power contained in it was still enormous..
