Imperial Cultivation

As soon as Xu Yingying heard the words "Netherworld Secret Guards," she quickly took a step back and waved her jade hand, "Wait, wait."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

Xu Yingying quickly said, "Is it something from the Netherworld Secret Guards?" Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Their personal belongings."

"What is it?"

"A string of prayer beads."

Xu Yingying waved her small hand quickly, "Take it away, take it away, don't open it, don't show it to me, I don't want to see this ghostly thing!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's just a personal belonging of the Netherworld Secret Guards, is it that scary?"

"Did you get tainted by it?"

"With it, I killed eight Netherworld Secret Guards," Chu Zhiyuan said lightly.

"Alas..." Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "You're going to be unlucky!" Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you also afraid of the Netherworld Secret Guards?"

"The Netherworld Secret Guards are death warriors raised by the Great Li royal family, but their origins are problematic," Xu Yingying sighed softly, "You can't get involved with them."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I'm already involved, does that mean they'll never stop?"

"The Netherworld Secret Guards are said to be the Great Li Emperor's death warriors, but even the Great Li Emperor can't completely control them," Xu Yingying said, "They are very powerful and won't care about any prince, they will hunt you down."

Chu Zhiyuan tilted his head to look at her, then turned his head to look around, "Why don't I see Mr. Xu?"

"What business do I have with him?" Xu Yingying said.

Her bright eyes were full of smiles, not afraid of Chu Zhiyuan acting recklessly at all.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "So, this group of Netherworld Secret Guards will keep pestering me?"

"Definitely," Xu Yingying nodded, "These guys are very annoying, they will keep hunting you down, and these guys are very strange, hard to guard against."

"Then there's no way to deal with them?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Can't your Nine Li Divine Sect deal with these Netherworld Secret Guards either?"

Xu Yingying smiled proudly, "Although the Netherworld Secret Guards are powerful, they wouldn't dare to provoke me."

"Why wouldn't they dare?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He smiled inwardly.

Xu Yingying is indeed a treasure trove, always able to give him surprises.

It seems that this time she will give him another surprise.

Xu Yingying snorted, turned around and said, "Don't peek."

Chu Zhiyuan turned around and smiled, "I won't look then."

He even withdrew his super-sense.

Xu Yingying said after a moment, "Turn around."

Chu Zhiyuan turned around.

Xu Yingying opened her right palm.

On her white palm, a green bead was glowing.

Chu Zhiyuan felt it looked very familiar, so he took out a Water-Repelling Bead from his sleeve.

The green bead, with its shimmering luster, was similar to the one in her hand.

"What are you doing with the Water-Repelling Bead?" Xu Yingying smiled, "This is an Evil-Repelling Bead."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood and smiled, putting away the Water-Repelling Bead, "I thought there would be another Water-Repelling Bead, it would be best if the Water-Repelling Bead could restrain them."

"The Water-Repelling Bead is not very useful, but this Evil-Repelling Bead is very useful."

"Can it kill the Netherworld Secret Guards?"

"Once there are ghostly things like the Netherworld Secret Guards approaching, this bead can sense it from a hundred steps away and emit light to warn you."

"For warning purposes," Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"There's more," Xu Yingying snorted, "It can also restrain their power."

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.

Xu Yingying said, "These ghostly things like the Netherworld Secret Guards, unless you're a Grandmaster, you can't hit them at all, every hit is like hitting air, like ghosts, only Grandmasters can hit them."

"I see..." Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood.

His flying knives contained mental energy, so he could hit the Netherworld Secret Guards.

If it weren't for the mental energy, the flying knives wouldn't be able to hurt them either, their power could exempt physical damage?

If that was the case, then they were indeed very difficult to deal with, meaning they were invincible below the Grandmaster level. Xu Yingying said, "You used the Heart-Questioning Blade Art to kill them, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Sword Control Art and the Glazed Blade Sutra, also mixed with..."

"Hmph, it's just the Heart-Questioning Blade Art," Xu Yingying glared at him and said, "But you were able to detect them, that's already quite amazing... Wear this bead for a while, you have to return it to me."

"There aren't any more?"

"Everyone only has one," Xu Yingying snorted, "This is the Evil-Repelling Bead!"

"Meng Canglan also has one, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Sister Meng? Hers isn't an Evil-Repelling Bead, it's a Supreme Pole Bead," Xu Yingying smiled, "That's much more powerful than the Evil-Repelling Bead."

Without waiting for Chu Zhiyuan to ask, Xu Yingying said, "The Supreme Pole Bead can defend against all foreign forces, those evil sects and ghostly things can't hurt Sister Meng."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in surprise.

Xu Yingying revealed an envious expression, "Sister Meng is the Holy Maiden of the Worry-Free Sect, this is the status of the Worry-Free Sect's Holy Maiden."

"The Holy Maiden has such status?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Ruo Ling, she...?"

"Sister Xiao, she has inherited the Great Yin Chain Form, she can also block these ghostly things," Xu Yingying said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He didn't expect the Great Yin Chain Form to have such wonderful uses. "...What about you?"

"I only have this Evil-Repelling Bead, to sense these ghostly things in advance and stay far away."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled. Xu Yingying stamped her foot and snorted, "Who told me I'm not a Holy Maiden?"

"Who told your Nine Li Divine Sect not to have a Holy Maiden," Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "If you did, Yingying, you could really become a Holy Maiden."

"That's for sure!" Xu Yingying revealed a smug expression, "It's a pity that only the Worry-Free Sect and the Moon Invitation Palace have Holy Maidens, we and the Everlasting Spirit Divine Sect don't have Holy Maidens, the Everlasting Spirit Divine Sect has a Divine Son, we don't even have a Divine Son."

She shook her head in disappointment.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's indeed a pity, you were born in the wrong sect... Forget about the Evil-Repelling Bead, keep it for your own protection."

Xu Yingying was so generous that he was embarrassed to take it. Moreover, he still had the four Grandmasters secretly protecting him. "You really don't want it?" Xu Yingying asked.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xu Yingying thought for a moment, then turned around and left, "I'll be right back." She lightly floated over the wall.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

What good things was this treasure trove, Xu Yingying, going to bring out?

A moment later, Xu Yingying returned, holding a small box in her hand, and directly handed it to Chu Zhiyuan, "Here, I'll give you this, the Evil-Breaking Divine Blades."

Chu Zhiyuan curiously opened the palm-sized box, inside were five flying knives arranged in a row, the length of a little finger, smaller than ordinary flying knives.

Xu Yingying said, "As for whether they have any power, try it yourself, I only know that they are called the Evil-Breaking Divine Blades, I haven't used them before."

Chu Zhiyuan treasured them and put them away, "Then I won't be polite,... You really don't want the Netherworld Secret Guards' prayer beads?"

"No, no, take them away, take them away," Xu Yingying waved her hand repeatedly. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "These Evil-Breaking Divine Blades are indeed extraordinary, I'm leaving." He immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of these five flying knives, they were shrouded in smoke, impossible to pry into.

The more it was like this, the more he couldn't wait to start refining them.

As long as the refining was successful, the smoke could be completely dispelled, and he could see clearly what they were. These were definitely not ordinary flying knives, what was the power of the Evil-Breaking Divine Blades?
