Chapter 0196: The Third Burial Immortal Diagram

Shui Yihui said with a smile, "Qin Yun, Xiao Yuelan, if you find the Immortal Bone Burial Site in the future and don’t have enough strength, I can go with you."

The Immortal Bone Burial Site! This immediately caused a frenzy among the people in the hall!

The people from the South Palace and North Palace deeply regretted their earlier cold attitude towards Qin Yun.

Qin Yun didn’t know why, but seeing the jealousy the South Palace and North Palace people had towards Shui Yihui gave him a secret satisfaction. He took Xiao Yuelan’s hand and, after greeting Xie Wufeng and the others, left the hall.

News of what happened in the hall spread quickly. People in the imperial palace soon knew, and the Tian Qin Street outside the palace was buzzing with excitement over the astonishing news.

Now, the King of Suppressing Demons was leading people to arrest the remaining members of the Ye family inside the palace.

Upon seeing Qin Yun, the people in the Tian Qin Imperial Palace bowed respectfully and addressed him as Crown Prince.

The most secret place in the Tian Qin Imperial Palace was the hidden passage.

Qin Yun took Xiao Yuelan to the garden of the emperor’s imperial bedroom. After making sure no one was around, they descended into a large well. There was a mechanism on the well wall, and when pressed, it opened a door.

Xiao Yuelan wasn’t surprised, as such hidden passages were quite common in the palace.

After entering the passage, Qin Yun took out a luminescent pearl to illuminate the path and asked, "Yuelan, are you worried about Moon Mei?"

Xiao Yuelan nodded, "Although Xiao Yanglong didn’t bring my sister forward, I’m still worried."

Qin Yun smiled, "She’s fine; I rescued her! Otherwise, Xiao Yanglong and Qin Zhengfeng wouldn’t have been defeated so thoroughly today."

"Really?" A rare, beautiful smile appeared on Xiao Yuelan’s face.

"Of course! She’s in the Rune Hall!" Qin Yun laughed and then told Xiao Yuelan about the process of rescuing Xiao Moon Mei and Xiao Xuanqin’s situation.

"Aunt almost faced danger too; it’s really unexpected!" Xiao Yuelan lightly sighed, "My father is just a puppet now, having lost his consciousness. He’s completely controlled by Xiao Yanglong and the Empress. Fortunately, you killed that ugly brute; otherwise, there would have been more trouble today."

The Heavenly Roar Empress, who was Xiao Yanglong’s backer, had been defeated by Qin Yun after being poisoned by the Soul-Shaking Powder and was unable to recover.

Qin Yun sat against the wall with the luminescent pearl, illuminating Xiao Yuelan’s exquisitely beautiful face, and asked, "Yuelan, you said I saved you when we were kids, is that true? I don’t remember."

Xiao Yuelan said, "When you came to the Tian Xiao Kingdom as a child, you played games with me. You were quite mischievous and later fought with those who bullied me, getting seriously injured. Your elder sister, who was a Grand Tutor, treated your injuries. You had a head injury, so your memory isn’t very clear."

Meeting Qi Meilian in the Tian Qi Kingdom was something that happened later.

"No one ever told me about that!" Qin Yun pouted.

"You scoundrel, tell me honestly, how many girls have you wronged?" Xiao Yuelan hummed, her eyes filled with resentment.

"None at all! I don’t have any special feelings for Teacher Yang. At least, she took care of me when I was at my lowest and helped me a lot. Besides, she’s so beautiful; I like her, but not in that way..." Qin Yun said, rubbing his chin with a playful smile.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yuelan gave him a dirty look.

Qin Yun sighed, "Teacher Yang is engaged to Xiao Yanglong! Do you think Xiao Yanglong threatened her?"

"Kill Xiao Yanglong, and Teacher Yang will be yours; you just need to try harder." Xiao Yuelan said with a sour expression, full of jealousy.

Qin Yun laughed, "Yuelan, I was only joking! To Teacher Yang, I’m just a little brother! But I must save her because she’s helped me so much."

Xiao Yuelan nodded, "Sister Yang is such a good person; we can’t let Xiao Yanglong destroy her. We must help her. She must be under threat; otherwise, she could have run away. They won’t get married anytime soon; otherwise, it would have happened already. We need to improve our strength during this time."

A sudden surge of anger appeared on her beautiful face as she asked sternly, "Qin Yun, why did you reject me in the hall earlier? You even planned to divorce me! I’ve been devoted to you, and you lied to me, saying you had many women elsewhere. I was truly heartbroken then!"

Qin Yun curled his lips and said, "I'm just planning to scam a few billion crystal coins from Xiao Yanglong first! Since I know my father is still alive, he definitely won't let you marry anyone else."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuelan calmed down and said, "As a Runes Master, can't you earn crystal coins honestly?"

Qin Yun sighed, "No way, when you meet a scumbag like Xiao Yanglong, you should definitely scam him!"

Xiao Yuelan found it quite reasonable and felt a little guilty for ruining Qin Yun's plan. She nodded and said, "You're right! I'm sorry for messing up your plan!"

She also sat against the wall, facing Qin Yun. Dressed simply, she no longer had that icy demeanor, appearing elegant and beautiful, with a faint smile on her delicate face, exuding a gentle tenderness.

Like Xiao Yuemei, beneath her cold and proud exterior lay her true self, which was also the most beautiful!

After all, both she and Xiao Yuemei had grown up in such an environment, so they had to appear intimidating, otherwise, they would have been bullied even more.

Qin Yun took out the Burial Immortal Diagram, blew off the dust, and laid it on the clean ground, saying, "Yuelan, this is the Burial Immortal Diagram obtained by my mother!"

Xiao Yuelan opened her jade palm and, like Qi Meilian, summoned a very small Burial Immortal Diagram.

Gradually, the Burial Immortal Diagram grew larger, becoming the same as Qin Yun's.

"My mother told me there were three others when she gave me the Burial Immortal Diagram," Xiao Yuelan said with a surprised expression.

"Another one is with Little Meilian, and she has already shown it to me," Qin Yun mentioned Qi Meilian and couldn't help but sigh, because after learning that her mother's remains were destroyed, she could only endure the pain in silence.

Xiao Yuelan also felt sorry for Qi Meilian, just like Qin Yun.

"You've already taken care of Qi Yu, so Little Meilian will definitely be very happy," Xiao Yuelan sat next to Qin Yun and said.

Qin Yun nodded, "Little Meilian's mother and our mothers obtained the Burial Immortal Diagrams and died because of them! The three of them were close friends from the same village and each entered the imperial palace of a different empire."

Xiao Yuelan seemed unaware of this and looked at Qin Yun with a surprised expression, "Is that true? My mother never told me about this!"

"Of course, it's true! Another Burial Immortal Diagram is with Elder Sister, who was a Grand Tutor!" Qin Yun said, taking Xiao Yuelan's Burial Immortal Diagram and placing it on top of his own.

The two Burial Immortal Diagrams immediately emitted a soft golden glow.

"Yuelan? Xiao Yun?" The sweet voice of Xie Qirou came.

"Elder Sister, it's us!" Qin Yun happily called out.

"I'm relieved that you're together!" Xie Qirou giggled, "Xiao Yun, don't bully Yuelan, protect her like you used to when you were young."

Qin Yun glanced at Xiao Yuelan, who was full of smugness, and said with a pout, "She's stronger than me now, if anyone's being bullied, it's me. She even said she'd protect me."

"Yuelan is great!" Xie Qirou laughed.

With a joyful face, Xiao Yuelan asked proudly, "Elder Sister, where are you? We want to see you!"

"You'll definitely see me in the future! For now, don't think about the Burial Immortal Ground, just focus on improving your strength! Take care of silly little Meilian and don't let her get bullied." Xie Qirou said.

Mentioning Qi Meilian made Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan feel ashamed, and they didn't dare to tell Xie Qirou about it.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep, you both work hard, goodbye!" After Xie Qirou finished speaking, Xiao Yuelan called out a few times but got no response.

Qin Yun was used to Xie Qirou's behavior, so he advised Xiao Yuelan to give up.

"Yuelan, the key to the Tian Xiao Imperial Mausoleum is with me," Qin Yun took out the key and smiled, "I got it together with Elder Tutor Xie and the others."

Xiao Yuelan took it and looked at it with joy, saying, "This is great, I've long heard that Xiao Yu Tower was attacked; I thought it was my aunt who did it."

She returned the key to Qin Yun and said, "Once we’re strong enough, we’ll explore it together. It’s said that many valuable things are hidden inside! Xiao Yanglong originally planned to give this key to me as part of my dowry, but it ended up in your hands."

Curious, Qin Yun took the key and asked, "By the way, what terms did Qin Zhengfeng offer to make Xiao Yanglong so tempted that he even sold his ancestral tomb?"

Xiao Yuelan replied, "As far as I know, they offered Xiao Yanglong two crystal mines in the Tian Qin Empire. This would allow him to acquire more crystal coins to support his cultivation."

Two crystal mines were indeed very valuable. If Xiao Yanglong had obtained them, he would surely advance rapidly with these resources.

"Qin Zhengfeng and the others aren’t just interested in the Burial Immortal Diagram I possess; they also covet my Purple Gold Dragon Martial Soul. Sister Yang told me that Ye Changchao from the Ye family knows the art of soul and vein transfer."

Qin Yun took out a Soul-Sealing Pearl and forced out a small golden thunder sword from within his body, the Golden Thunder Sword Martial Soul he had extracted from Qin Zhengfeng.

He channeled the Martial Soul into the Soul-Sealing Pearl and smiled, "This guy’s Martial Soul is only of the Golden tier; no wonder he’s so feeble!"

Xiao Yuelan, seeing the Golden Thunder Sword Martial Soul, looked at Qin Yun in surprise. "How did you do that? Could it be... you’ve truly mastered the Soul Refinement Technique?"

"Of course!" Qin Yun said with a grin, "During my duel with Qin Zhengfeng, I used a mental attack to knock him out and quickly extracted it."

Xiao Yuelan lightly patted him and scolded, "That was too risky! What if you were discovered? The last time you dueled with Xiao Lang, he found out you had the Shocking Martial Soul. Luckily, I made him fall into a deep sleep; otherwise, this would have been exposed."

"The secrets about me were disclosed by those meddling elders in the Eastern Palace. Otherwise, no one would know I possess the Burial Immortal Diagram, let alone the Purple Gold Dragon Martial Soul."

Qin Yun smiled, "I hid it very well. Even Teacher Du, a formidable mental cultivator, didn’t realize my Inner Element remained intact."

"Really?" Xiao Yuelan couldn’t believe it and placed her hand on Qin Yun’s abdomen, pressing it and frowning, "Why can’t I sense anything..."

Qin Yun also placed his hand on her belly and laughed, "Yuelan, you have a Mental Martial Soul and a Purple Gold Dragon Martial Soul, but what’s the other one? It seems very mysterious!"

Xiao Yuelan moved Qin Yun’s hand away and hummed, "It’s a secret! If you ever defeat me, I’ll reveal my third Martial Soul!"

Now she felt less concerned because Qin Yun’s Inner Element was still there, indicating his dual Martial Souls were unharmed, and there would be no issues with his cultivation.

Xiao Yuelan prodded the muscles on Qin Yun’s abdomen and asked, "How did you safeguard your Inner Element during your duel with Yue Kai? Sister Yang was present and was convinced your Inner Element was lost. She even witnessed your stomach burst open. She seemed deeply saddened and heartbroken when she recounted it to me."
