Chapter 1947 - 406: Those Who Know Me
If no one discovered this place, or came here, then he might be able to find the Heart Moon Fox.
Without further delay, he put away the map and got ready to set off.
The next morning, the badly injured Princess Qingyan suddenly woke up in shock.
She felt as if she had slept for a long time, and might have already missed the treasure.
The first thing she did upon getting up was to ask the servants what time it was now, and how many days she had been unconscious.
The servants of the Thousand Illusion Palace didn't know why Princess Qingyan was so flustered and uneasy, but since the Princess asked, they answered truthfully.
"Nine in the morning. You've been unconscious for less than a day."
"Nine in the morning? Damn it!"
Princess Qingyan was in a panic. She didn't even bother to wash up, bolting out like an arrow, looking for the Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace.
"Princess! Princess! You haven't washed up yet!"
Princess Qingyan didn't say a word, she only wanted to race against time, to find the Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace as soon as possible, and set off for the Blue Ice Cave's location.
"Bang!"
Arriving at the Second Elder's room, she kicked the door open and barged straight in, ignoring all manners, and said, "Elder, go! We have to go, now!"
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?" the Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace asked.
"The Ancient Formation of the Blue Ice Cave has definitely been broken. If we don't go now, it'll be too late." Princess Qingyan replied.
"What? How do you know that?"
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace was utterly astonished, because in her memory, Princess Qingyan had been lying in bed recuperating all this time. How could she know such a thing?
"There's no need to 'know.' Anyone could guess it. That brat is a master of Arrays; there's no Array he can't break." Princess Qingyan said.
"You mean that Cultivator from the Kingdom of Leizhen who dueled with you yesterday?"
"Exactly him!"
"No way. His Realm is the same as yours, and he's not of the Han Clan. It shouldn't be like that."
"Elder, that's where you're mistaken. He's someone from a high-plane world. He knows many methods to break Ancient Formations."
"What? He's not from the Kingdom of Leizhen?"
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace realized how serious this was and immediately gathered the Disciples to head for the Blue Ice Cave.
When they arrived, the gate to the Blue Ice Cave had already been opened.
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace no longer dared to doubt Princess Qingyan and rushed straight inside.
The others all followed after her.
Once inside, they discovered quite a few treasures.
Aside from that, they also found something terrifying—the corpse of the Xiangshan Corpse King.
"He's dead! Actually dead!"
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace was shocked beyond measure.
Such a powerful figure, whose strength was on par with hers, had fallen here. Who on earth did this?
Upon closer inspection, she found a black Hidden Weapon lodged in the center of the Xiangshan Corpse King's brow. It seemed to be telling her that the Xiangshan Corpse King had died at someone else's hand, not by accident.
"It must be that damned brat!" Princess Qingyan was certain this had everything to do with Lin Yifan.
"What? He has Mana that powerful?"
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace was full of disbelief. This ran too counter to common sense.
"There are many ways to kill someone: poison, catching them off guard, powerful Secret Weapons, Curse attacks, and so on, all of them can work." Princess Qingyan replied.
"Then what method did he die to?"
"Hard to say. In any case, it wasn't by catching him off guard."
Princess Qingyan believed that trying to kill a Mysterious Immortal Realm expert by surprise was far too difficult; they might sense you before you even made a move.
"That's what's strange."
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace began to feel a sense of dread toward that brat.
A youngster with such meticulous scheming and such deep city—he was not someone to be provoked.
Not only her; the other Disciples of the Thousand Illusion Palace felt the same. None of them dared to lightly offend that brat anymore.
Princess Qingyan was the exception, because she still wanted another fight. Next time, she believed she would definitely be able to defeat Lin Yifan and wipe away her former humiliation.
Lin Yifan killing the Xiangshan Corpse King indicated that the two were not partners, which meant the Kingdom of Leizhen might not have undergone Demonization.
However, learning that Lin Yifan was from a high-plane world made it even less likely that he had anything to do with the Kingdom of Leizhen.
This person comprehended the Thunder Technique Profound Mysteries, probably learned in a high-plane world, and had not the slightest connection to the Kingdom of Leizhen.
The Xiangshan Corpse King had been dead for quite some time, and the Ice Cave master's bedroom had been opened as well. It seemed as if all of this was saying that brat had already looted this place clean.
With a mindset of self-comfort, they rushed into the Ice Cave master's bedroom to see whether the brat's corpse was inside. If it was, then it was possible the Xiangshan Corpse King had died to mechanisms within the Ice Cave.
Looking all around and searching thoroughly, all they found was the remains of the Ice Cave master after he had passed away in seated meditation; they didn't see any other corpses.
Furthermore, there were clear signs that the Ice Cave master's bedroom had been rummaged through, which seemed to be telling them that this place had already been looted.
They were extremely disappointed and depressed, because that brat had definitely taken the valuable items; there would be no good stuff left for them to pick up.
Aside from that, the Beast Skin Map that recorded the Heart Moon Fox's tracks might also be gone.
"I knew he'd sneak off to act in the middle of the night."
Princess Qingyan stomped her feet in fury.
This was precisely why she had been in such a rush this morning—missing the timing was the same as missing the opportunity.
"Saying all this now won't help. Let's just search and see what treasures are left." The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace tried to comfort her.
"What treasures? It's only some junk you might not even look at twice." Princess Qingyan replied.
"Don't be so discouraged. Who knows, maybe he left something behind." The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace continued to persuade her.
"You're the only one who can stay that optimistic."
Princess Qingyan was so angry she didn't even want to move, leaving it to the Disciples of the Thousand Illusion Palace to rummage for treasures.
As they searched, the Disciples of the Thousand Illusion Palace found quite a few powerful weapons and Martial Arts Secret Manuals, and were pleasantly surprised again and again.
"See? Aren't there still many highly valuable treasures here?" The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace took out the treasures she had picked up and showed them to Princess Qingyan.
Princess Qingyan glanced at them and asked, "Things that brat didn't bother to take—do you really think they're that valuable?"
"That's because he's not of the Han Clan and can't carry out Cultivation of Han Clan Martial Arts." the Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace retorted.
"You're the only one naïve enough to think that way."
Princess Qingyan was utterly speechless. In any case, she had no interest in these things.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm naïve! I'm naïve!"
The Second Elder of the Thousand Illusion Palace didn't dare show the slightest temper, because she knew that the woman in front of her was the benefactor of the Han Clan. Whether their Han Clan could rise again and dominate the world all depended on this woman's fortune.
They turned the Ice Cave master's bedroom upside down, searching again and again, but still failed to find the Beast Skin Map that recorded the whereabouts of the Heart Moon Fox, and couldn't help feeling a new wave of dejection.
It seemed the good stuff really had been taken by that brat, and they were merely picking up the leftovers.
Carrying feelings of both disappointment and a bit of pleasant surprise, they left the Blue Ice Cave and prepared to return.
