Chapter 1152: Heading to the Celestial Pill Department
He curiously asked, "What’s the actual effect of suppressing someone beneath the Pill Array?"
Yue Zhi took up the conversation.
"It can make the Pill Array more stable."
Her face showed a faint sorrow and bitterness.
"But the person suppressed below not only cannot feel any Immortal Power but will also have their internal Immortal Power extracted, inevitably becoming weak."
"Over time, it will not only damage their foundation; their lifespan will also be significantly reduced."
So vicious?
Brother Cheng couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
"No need to say more, I’ll help with this."
In his view, this was just a small task.
"Ah, thank you, Brother Jiang!"
Seeing him agree so readily, Yue Zhi was overjoyed.
The other Female Immortals also praised.
"Brother Jiang is truly warm-hearted!"
"With Brother Jiang’s involvement, there’s surely no problem."
"That’s right, Brother Jiang is well-connected and has a significant background!"
"This time your sister is saved."
"Rescuing Yue Yao is as difficult as ascending to the heavens for us, but for Brother Jiang, it’s lightweight."
Brother Cheng was almost floating from their compliments.
Under the admiring and close gazes of the Female Immortals, he patted his chest and made a promise.
"Don’t worry, it’s a small matter."
"I’ll go to the Law Enforcement Department right now and have Feng Lin personally inquire about this matter."
Feng Lin is a Daoist Venerable of the Third Grade Immortal Official.
Whereas Yue Yao is just a Ninth-grade Immortal Official.
In Jiang Cheng’s eyes, it’s like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito; it’s just a matter of blowing a breath.
"No, it doesn’t fall under the Law Enforcement Department’s jurisdiction."
Yue Zhi anxiously shook her hand.
Bai Yan also explained, "Yes, the punishment for Yue Yao was from the Celestial Pill Department, not through the Law Enforcement Department."
Jiang Cheng was a bit surprised.
"So this means I can only seek out the Celestial Pill Department?"
"Yes, Brother Jiang, do you know a Daoist Venerable from the Celestial Pill Department?"
"As long as a Daoist Venerable from the Celestial Pill Department speaks, there must be a turning point for this matter!"
Brother Cheng twitched his mouth corners.
He didn’t know a damn thing.
He didn’t even know which way the Celestial Pill Department’s gate opened.
"Heh heh heh..."
Yan Yi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"You’re really desperate, counting on him, a mere guest of the Celestial Palace in name only."
"Looking at his expression, it’s clear he doesn’t know anyone high up in the Celestial Pill Department; there’s no way he can navigate things there."
"You’d better ask him to charge in, cause a slaughter, and rescue the person; it’s more reliable."
She glanced up and down at Brother Cheng.
"He’s surely not reliable for other things, but when it comes to fighting prowess, he should be dependable."
Brother Cheng couldn’t tell if her words were more of an insult or a compliment.
"The suggestion to charge in isn’t entirely out of the question."
If done that way, it would definitely be the simplest.
After all, he’s a sect-destroying expert; if the Celestial Pill Department doesn’t cooperate, he might as well flatten them out like the previous sects.
Seeing him really considering doing that while touching his chin, Bai Yan and Yue Zhi and other Female Immortals were terrified.
"No, you absolutely mustn’t do that."
Killing one Venerable Shang Lian was troublesome enough; do you want to slaughter at the Celestial Pill Department too?
Consider our heart’s ability to withstand the shock.
They hurriedly blocked this brother, doing their best to stop him from causing a big scene at the Celestial Palace.
"If you do that, all the experts of the entire Celestial Palace will come out, and we’ll all be finished."
"Brother Jiang, let’s just forget it..."
"Yes, yes, forget it; we appreciate your kindness."
"Please don’t choose the way of fighting..."
Seeing their extremely scared expressions, Brother Cheng had to tone down his Divine Techniques.
"Looks like we’ll just forget it then."
Seeing how troublesome this was, he wasn’t in the mood to stir up trouble.
Just as he was about to head back to his luxurious Cave Mansion, Yan Yi unexpectedly appeared.
"Tsk tsk, what’s this? Can’t do it?"
The Wolf Girl teased deliberately, "Weren’t you claiming to be well-connected? Such a big place like the Celestial Pill Department, you don’t know anyone?"
The fact is she’s quite interested in this because there’s a reason.
With Jiang Cheng’s style, if he really went, he would indeed find every way to accomplish it and rescue the person.
Yet he doesn’t know anyone high up in the Celestial Pill Department, nor can he speak with them.
So ultimately, a conflict is very likely to occur.
If they end up fighting, blood will be shed...
At that point, he won’t be tolerated by the Celestial Palace, and his ’Celestial Heart’ will surely plummet to the bottom.
In this way, the Evil Immortal Realm would win that wager.
Sect Leader Jiang knew that this was a Provocation Technique, but he couldn’t stand others saying he ’can’t do it.’
"You’re really leaving no stone unturned in inciting me to stir the Celestial Palace."
He leisurely glanced at Yan Yi, having already seen through her little scheme.
"Really think I can’t handle this without fighting?"
Yan Yi, who was already not on his side, didn’t speak nicely.
"I naturally don’t believe it."
"If I succeed, you’ll serve as their Personal Guard for a billion years, ensuring them no harm."
As the ’Princess’ of the Evil Immortal Realm, serving as a guard for a group of Fairies from the Celestial Palace would be the ultimate humiliation.
Yan Yi showed no hint of anger.
She nonchalantly countered, "And if you can’t do it?"
Jiang Cheng calmly said, "If I can’t do it, I’ll figure out a way to bring my own Celestial Heart down to the bottom, helping you win."
Unaware that this brother had no Celestial Heart, Yan Yi couldn’t refuse such terms at all.
Her eyes immediately brightened and she eagerly replied, "Okay, I agree; a deal’s a deal!"
Having no interest in rescue, she even urged Yue Zhi.
"Quick, lead the way, I really want to see how he does it."
"Ah?"
Yue Zhi couldn’t understand how these two started competing.
Due to Yan Yi’s words, her confidence in Sect Leader Jiang was also a bit shaken.
Brother Jiang seemed not to know anyone from the Celestial Pill Department.
"Brother Jiang, maybe we should just let it go; it’s unnecessary to trouble you..."
The little sister actually didn’t have confidence in him.
Jiang Cheng felt that even without Yan Yi, he had to step in to regain his stature.
"Don’t worry, I have my ways!"
Under his and Yan Yi’s strong insistence, Yue Zhi and Bai Yan finally led the way to the Celestial Pill Department.
Sect Leader Jiang and Yan Yi followed leisurely behind.
The Celestial Palace was vast, but under the illumination of the Main Star, even in the wild, there were special Star Arrays.
Going from Luoyan Lake to the Celestial Pill Department took just half a day.
When the four reached the grand and magnificent palace gate, Yue Zhi felt a bit daunted.
"R-really, do we have to go in?"
The two of them were only Eighth-Grade Immortal Officials, moreover from the inconsequential Dance Consort Department and Music Department.
If the Celestial Pill Department accused them of trespassing, it could mean immense trouble.
In the Celestial Palace, marginal Immortal Officials like them always had to act cautiously.
However, before the two could back out, Brother Cheng had already strode confidently to the entrance.
"Hahaha, didn’t I tell you I have wide connections? We’ve just arrived, and I’ve already run into an acquaintance!"
