Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Encountering Ye Haitang
Yannan Shan and Shen Qianqian never expected that the crisis they believed to threaten Tianhua Palace would dissipate into nothingness after Zhu Fei’s two interventions.
For a moment, both of them were slightly excited, and just as they were about to say something to Zhu Fei, they saw a beam of escape light suddenly flying out of Tianhua Palace.
The escape light was extremely fast and soon arrived in front of the three of them.
Yannan Shan quickly stepped forward and introduced to Zhu Fei, "Brother Zhu, this is our Palace Master of Tianhua Palace, Fang Wuheng. Palace Master Fang, this is Taoist Friend Zhu Fei, the Dao companion of Junior Sister Haitang. It was he who helped us kill those cultivators from Qinghai Immortal Island."
Hearing Yannan Shan’s introduction, Palace Master of Tianhua Palace, Fang Wuheng, couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.
He had been wondering earlier who it could be that possessed such immense power to slay nearly a hundred cultivators of Harmonization level and above from a distance. Unexpectedly, it was the young man in front of him.
With that thought, Fang Wuheng did not dare to neglect and quickly clasped his fists in gratitude to Zhu Fei, "So it is Taoist Friend Zhu Fei. Thank you for your assistance to my Tianhua Palace just now."
As he said this, Fang Wuheng seemed to have recalled something and continued,
"By the way, Taoist Friend Zhu Fei, you must have come to my Tianhua Palace to look for Junior Sister Haitang, right? Some time ago, Junior Sister Haitang went out for a journey. If you don’t mind, you can stay at my Tianhua Palace for the time being..."
"Wait, Palace Master Fang, you said Haitang went out? When did this happen?"
Before Fang Wuheng finished speaking, Zhu Fei interrupted with a look of urgency.
Earlier, Zhu Fei had already discovered that there was no sign of Ye Haitang within Tianhua Palace, which was why he hadn’t entered immediately after arriving at the mountain gate.
Seeing his words interrupted by Zhu Fei, Fang Wuheng was not annoyed and continued to say politely:
"It should be about a month ago. Junior Sister Haitang had been recovering at my Tianhua Palace, and only a month ago did she mostly recover from her injuries and then left my Tianhua Palace."
"A month ago?"
At this moment, Zhu Fei’s expression turned extremely grim.
Both Yannan Shan and Shen Qianqian’s expressions also became extremely solemn.
Because they knew that a month ago coincided with the time when Qinghai Immortal Island discovered that Lan Mingwei had been killed by them.
Given that Ye Haitang had previously offended Lan Mingwei, it was hard to guarantee that Qinghai Immortal Island wouldn’t list Ye Haitang among their targets during this time.
If that were the case, then Ye Haitang’s current situation could be really dire.
"Excuse me, three of you, I must immediately go and find Haitang. I’ll take my leave for now."
Zhu Fei raised his hand in a fist salute to the three of them, then took out a Level 9 Array Plate from his body, and handed it to Fang Wuheng, saying:
"Palace Master Fang, this is a Level 9 protection Array Plate I crafted back then. You should embed it deep within the mountain gate and activate it; it should exert the power equivalent to a Level 9 Low Grade Mountain Protection Array. Moreover, I also have some healing pills here; please take them as well."
As he spoke, Zhu Fei took out more than a dozen Jade Bottles from himself and threw them all to Fang Wuheng and Yannan Shan.
Having done all this, Zhu Fei didn’t wait for Yannan Shan and the others to react, and immediately activated the Void Light Wheel, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Watching Zhu Fei’s hurried departure, Yannan Shan and the others couldn’t help but glance at each other in confusion for a moment.
Eventually, it was Fang Wuheng who broke the silence, asking Yannan Shan and Shen Qianqian:
"Junior Brother Yannan, Junior Sister Qianqian, could it be that Taoist Friend Zhu Fei is a Level 9 Array Great Grandmaster?"
Hearing Palace Master Fang Wuheng’s words, Yannan Shan and Shen Qianqian both shook their heads.
"We’re not quite sure, but from what we’ve learned before, if Taoist Friend Zhu Fei really is a Level 9 Array Great Grandmaster, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.
By the way, Palace Master Fang, it seems Taoist Friend Zhu Fei gave us some pills just now. Considering his strength, the healing pills he gave must not be ordinary. Why don’t we take a look?"
As he spoke, Yannan Shan was already opening several of the Jade Bottles in his hand.
However, as soon as he saw the pills inside one of the Jade Bottles, his breathing immediately became heavy.
Shen Qianqian, noticing Yannan Shan’s strange behavior, curiously leaned over, and upon seeing the pills inside the Jade Bottle in Yannan Shan’s hand, immediately exclaimed.
"Grea-Grea-Great Success Sky..."
Before Shen Qianqian could finish her words, Yannan Shan quickly covered Shen Qianqian’s mouth and said with a wry smile:
"Qianqian, can you not get so excited? Can we talk about this after we get back inside the mountain gate?"
At this time, Fang Wuheng was also completely shocked, looking at the few Jade Bottles in his hand, then exchanging a glance with Yannan Shan, and finally taking a deep breath, he said:
"Junior Brother Yannan is right, this matter is not trivial. We should discuss it more once we’re back."
...
After bidding farewell to Yannan Shan and the others, Zhu Fei directly activated the Void Light Wheel, wandering through various inns in the major cities of Ancient State.
After all, he had no clue where Ye Haitang might have gone, and the inns in the major cities were the best places to gather all kinds of information.
With no better option, Zhu Fei had no choice but to search for Ye Haitang using this clumsy method.
Just as Zhu Fei was flying over a city and preparing to head to the next city, his expression suddenly tightened.
He suddenly noticed that not far in front of him, a chariot was flying towards him.
Upon seeing the situation inside the chariot, an unprecedented violent aura suddenly filled his body.
Inside the chariot sat three men and two women.
One of the women, wearing a purple dress, was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful figure.
However, at this moment, the woman in the purple dress appeared somewhat disheveled, with blood trickling down the corners of her mouth and both her hands bound by a restraining Dao Artifact. The mana aura around her was extremely chaotic, clearly indicating she was severely injured.
This woman in the purple dress was none other than Ye Haitang, whom Zhu Fei had been searching for all this time!
At that moment, the people inside the chariot seemed to sense the killing intent ahead and could not help but turn their heads towards Zhu Fei.
Instantly, Ye Haitang, whose hands were bound, could not help but tremble violently, her face turning pale in an instant.
She never imagined that after ascending to the Xuanhuang Continent for so many years, she would see Zhu Fei at this moment.
However, as she recalled the identities of the people around her, her heart sank deeply.
Sure enough, one of the elders among them, addressed as the Great Elder, suddenly shouted loudly in the direction where Zhu Fei was:
"Taoist Friend ahead, are you the current Sect Master of Yue Dan Heavenly Sect, Zhu Fei?"
