The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 147 The Secret of the Bottom of the Pond

Princess Huiling screamed in fear. The fierce beast turned from dark clouds had a strong murderous look, which made everyone's hair stand on end and even lose the strength to avoid it!

Princess Huiling's pupils dilated rapidly and she was full of cold aura. The fierce beast opened its ferocious mouth and tried to swallow her up! At the crucial moment, some guards came to their senses, and all raised their swords to ruthlessly chop down to that beast!

With a pop, the apparition of the fierce beast vanished.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, but Princess Huiling had already fallen to the ground with a thud and fainted in shock.

The guards showed her no sympathy. Of course they remembered how presumptuous and wild this princess laughed when Hua Qiyue jumped into the pond. In their eyes, she deserved what she suffered.

The crowd fl.u.s.tered to send the princess back to the wing. Not long after, Princess Huiling woke up, but looked at her two maidservants stupidly. It turned out that she was demented with fright!

...

At the same time.

Yun s.h.i.+mo, Hua Qiyue, Huangfu Xuan, and the hare launched their anima energy to protect themselves as that powerful suction pulled them to the bottom of the pond.

In the process of falling in darkness, they could only see each other vaguely. However, as soon as they reached the bottom of the pond, a palace came into view.

The doors of the palace were black, suffused with a strong lifeless smell.

Both doors were engraved with a black skull, looking extremely grim.

Over the top of the door were the glittering words, Palace of Dark Sect. The surroundings were filled with hazy, and the smell of old years came upon them. There was no water.

None of them expected such a world at the bottom of the pond!

Hua Qiyue stood there solemnly, staring at the unfathomable doors, and thinking of the mysterious man in her previous life.

The man made her faint, but she caught his smell, which seemed to be the same as this place.

It was a cruel, heartless and icy smell. When they reached the bottom of the pond, they felt as if they were in a cold winter.

"What on earth is this place? There is even a palace?" Huangfu Xuan said in surprise, "Princess Mingzhu was dragged in by the monster here, wasn't she?"

Yun s.h.i.+mo had a sulky expression on his face and a complicated look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Hua Qiyue flashed a glance at him and saw his eyebrows frown. She couldn't help but be surprised. "Even Yun s.h.i.+mo looks worried. Isn't this a simple place? Otherwise, his appearance..."

"Let's go in and check..." Hua Qiyue suggested in a small voice, and then strode on.

Yun s.h.i.+mo quickly caught up with her, reached out and gently grasped her hand.

His warm palm calmed Hua Qiyue's heart. Maybe this was the power of love.

Huangfu Xuan turned a little gloomy as he followed them, but after a moment's thought, he found that there might be only Yun s.h.i.+mo who deserved Hua Qiyue.

When they came to the doors of the palace, the doors opened slowly, like a spirit with eyes.

"Hahaha... Welcome to the Palace of Dark Sect. No one has been here for a long time. Hahaha..."

An unbridled voice came from within.

Hua Qiyue and the others all winced. The man's voice was full of pressure. It seemed that he had a high cultivation.

"Be careful, this palace... is not simple," Yun s.h.i.+mo whispered to the others.

Hua Qiyue nodded, and Huangfu Xuan's face grew graver. They entered the palace. It was empty inside, but there was a human face on the opposite wall!

The man's face was large and old, and he looked about 50 to 60 years old.

The monster sniffed, looked at Yun s.h.i.+mo with s.h.i.+ning eyes, and said, "Wow, this is a familiar smell. Yun s.h.i.+mo, long time no see, hahaha. I didn't know you were alive. Welcome back to Yuewu!"

The Yuewu Kingdom?

Hua Qiyue paused. That country was also one of the great powers, but it didn't seem to have much to do with the Changjing Kingdom.

There were also plenty of Qi Artists in the Yuewu Kingdom, which were on a par with the Changjing Kingdom. Legend had it that there was a sect named the Dark Sect, which was matchless in strength. Unfortunately, the country had been unable to take this sect into its own use, so it had not been able to send troops to other major countries.

"You are from... the Dark Sect?" Hua Qiyue asked stiffly.

She didn't expect to see such a person in this place.

"Hee hee, girl, you're so smart... Yun s.h.i.+mo and I are good friends..."

At his words, Yun s.h.i.+mo's face changed, and he suddenly emitted a cold silver light. Hua Qiyue was stunned for a moment. She didn't know that Yun s.h.i.+mo had reached the great completeness of Moon Erosion.

Yun s.h.i.+mo, like a luminous matter, made some palm prints in the air. As he pushed out the palm prints, a harsh sliver light turned into a dragon, which quickly grew larger and then swung its tail fiercely at the face on the wall!

The man started, opened his big mouth, spit out a patch of yellow light, which collided with the dragon tail hard. With a crash, the palace quaked!

The runes on the palace were suddenly shaken off and shattered by the hare with his claws.

"Ah! Yun s.h.i.+mo, you destroyed my palace! Well, well... You have grown so strong in the years we have not seen you! The next time... I'm definitely going to kill you. I won't let a scourge live any longer!" Cried the monster angrily.

Suddenly he stared at Hua Qiyue, and a yellow light came out of his mouth. The yellow light swept fiercely towards Hua Qiyue like a snake.

Hua Qiyue summoned the final hit of the Keep away from Sea of Fire. The fire spread all over the place. With a scream, the man disappeared from the wall.

"What a powerful girl! Unexpectedly, you are also quite strong... Next time I see you, I'll catch you as my concubine. Hahaha... I just got a beauty, hey, and she looks as pretty as the one I got the other day. Hahaha... Yun s.h.i.+mo, goodbye!"

Then his voice died away.

The palace shook and big chunks of brick fell from the building.

"The palace is falling down. Let's get up there! Hurry up!" Yun s.h.i.+mo yelled.

They came in for only a few minutes, but they found out a great secret.

Yun s.h.i.+mo picked Hua Qiyue up horizontally and dashed out of the pond as fast as he could.

Huangfu Xuan and the hare rushed up, too. Bingyi, who was down looking for them, did not hesitate to go back as he saw them in a hurry to rush up.

Soon after they left the bottom of the pond, they came out of the water with a splash.

Hua Qiyue breathed a great sigh of relief. That monster had just unleashed a fearsome menace.

If Yun s.h.i.+mo hadn't blown those runes off the palace, there would have been a b.l.o.o.d.y battle tonight.

When they all left and went ash.o.r.e from the pond, Yi Zhen and the others heard the noise and came out to see what was going on.

The clothes of those who just came out of the water were all wet, so they had to change into clean clothes first.

When everyone sat down at the table in a small hall, Abbess Yi Zhen asked with some worry, "Everyone, what happened?"

"There is a palace at the bottom of the pond, named the Palace of Dark Sect," Hua Qiyue answered while wiping her hair.

"Amitabha, very good indeed! I did not expect the Dark Sect from the Yuewu Kingdom has taken root here. How dreadful it is!" Abbess Yi Zhen said in a worried voice.

From her, Hua Qiyue learned that the Dark Sect was a big froce in the Yuewu Kingdom, but there had been something unusual about the sect's actions in recent years. The Dark Sect used to ride roughshod over the powerless, even the Emperor dared not offend them.

But over the recent years, the sect had been quiet and had never gone overboard.

"The reason they don't continue to run amok in the Yuewu Kingdom is because they've s.h.i.+fted their focus to the enemy of the Yuewu Kingdom," Yun s.h.i.+mo uttered matter-of-factly.

Hua Qiyue cast him a weird look and inquired, "Yun s.h.i.+mo, did you know that monster? From what he said, you seem to have known each other before."

An icy, murderous look filled Yun s.h.i.+mo's eyes, and he replied, "Yes. We are bitter, bitter enemies!"

Hua Qiyue made a short pause, and thought of his father. She surmised that their suffering was probably closely related to the Dark Sect.

"Now that the Dark Sect has a palace under our Changjing Kingdom, I'm afraid... In the long run, our country will be destroyed." Huangfu Xuan, usually a.s.suming an airy manner, a.n.a.lyzed the present situation with supreme calm.

"Indeed, there will be a disaster for all the people in the world. Amitabha," Abbess Yi Zhen agreed, her brows drawing together in a worried frown.

The other Taoist nuns looked at each other, all looking alarmed.

"Abbess, the palace under the pond is destroyed, so you don't have to worry. But they must have their reasons for choosing this place. We don't know whether they will rebuild the palace in the future," Bingyi said.

Abbess Yi Zhen nodded and said, "So Princess Mingzhu and Second Miss Hua were probably taken from the pond by the Dark Sect, weren't they?"

"He is the Palace Leader of the 11th branch of the Dark Sect, Lin Qi, who is filled with l.u.s.t for women. Hua Mengs.h.i.+ and Princess Mingzhu would have suffered terribly if they had been taken by him."

Yun s.h.i.+mo stated indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes.

Hua Qiyue was startled. No wonder Lin Qi wanted to take her away when he saw her.

"But... why doesn't the Dark Sect s.n.a.t.c.h the Taoist nuns here?"

One of Princess Huiling's guards asked, puzzled.

"That's because Abbess Yi Zhen isn't an ordinary person," Hua Qiyue replied blandly.

Abbess Yi Zhen gave a gentle sigh, "Miss, there's something can't be spoken out."

The others exchanged glances, realizing that Abbess Yi Zhen was indeed a woman with a story. Hua Qiyue looked at her and felt pity for her beauty.

Several guards cast adoring glances at Hua Qiyue and Yun s.h.i.+mo, and they were all considering whether to find a way to join Yun s.h.i.+mo after returning to the capital.

The strong was worthy of respect. In the Tianyuan Continent, the more advanced one's Qi Art was, the more respect one got.

"So there's no need to investigate the cause of Hua Mengs.h.i.+'s disappearance. When I get back to the Hua's Mansion, I'll find an excuse to hide the truth from my father and grandmother." Hua Qiyue was very depressed at the thought that it was not hard for the Dark Sect to kill people in the Changjing Kingdom when they had penetrated into their underground.

As a result, she might not be able to lead the quiet life she had hoped for.

"That's it. Let's go and have a rest. Lin Qi won't come back for a while," Yun s.h.i.+mo uttered lightly, giving Hua Qiyue a tender glance.

His cultivation was similar to Lin Qi's, and he had the hare around him. Even if Lin Qi came to attack them, he would not be afraid.

Then everyone left the hall. Though the Taoist nuns were wary, they were secretlt shocked to remember what Hua Qiyue had said.

They had lived with Abbess Yi Zhen for more than 10 years, but they did not find the difference between her and ordinary people. At once, they felt Hua Qiyue really had a sharp eye.

When Hua Qiyue returned to the wing, Lv Xin and Youshui woke up. They were all involuntarily surprised to see her return.

"Did something happen, Miss? I think I heard people talking," Lv Xin asked, rubbing her eyes. The temple was fairly quiet, so the two maidservants were relaxed, and naturally slept deeply.
