“Where did you meet this little black horn?” Yun Jiuge attempted to sort the matter out.
“In my dream!” Little Dragon blinked his eyes and answered innocently.
“How did he get into your dream?” Yun Jiuge frowned. She knew that some powerful presences could break into other people’s Cognitive Dreamland.
But the Golden Dragon Hall had been set up with numerous calm, meditative and exorcism spell formations. Aside from her, who else could have easily entered her son’s Cognitive Dreamland?
“I don’t know. Anyway, I always bump into him in my dream. In the beginning, we were always fighting. But later, we became good friends. He was the one who beat those two bad guys,” Little Dragon said with a pleased expression, showing how proud he was of his friend’s awesomeness.
Yun Jiuge immediately realized that the dark Energy Barrier had been produced by her son’s friend, the little black horn.
Using an indirect approach, she made her son spill everything about the little black horn.
Yun Jiuge was a little surprised to learn that this little black horn was just a twelve-year-old child. But when she thought about it again, she realized that other than a young child, no one else could play so happily with her son.
“Tell our son that we’d love to meet his friend when the opportunity arises. Ask him to invite his friend to our Celestial Palace as a guest,” Zi Shang’s voice rang out in Yun Jiuge’s ears.
Yun Jiuge thought it was a really good idea, and immediately brought it up with her son.
“Wait awhile.” Little Dragon immediately lay down and fell asleep in an instant.
The dreamland was still Wanhua Spiritual Garden. The Imperial Highness had also left behind a bit of his consciousness in the dream because he had controlled Little Dragon’s body earlier.
“Little black horn, my mother wants to invite you to our house for dinner,” Little Dragon truthfully informed him of his parents’ invitation.
“I’m sorry, I can’t go. The place which I live in is too far away from you,” said the Imperial Highness as he shook his head. Ao Ge was killed, and they had not found a new Portal Key.
“Very well, I’ll tell them.” Little Dragon nodded and woke up from his dream. Then he said to his mother, “Little black horn said he can’t come, because he lives too far away from us.”
“Is that so? That’s truly a pity.” Yun Jiuge instinctively felt that this little black horn was more than meets the eye. But she dared not push the matter too hard, lest it caused a misunderstanding.
“Mother, I want to see my father, and then go find Cute Little Baby and the others to play with them.” Little Dragon turned over and got off the bed. He felt sore in the neck from lying down for three days.
“Don’t let him come find me,” said Zi Shang anxiously. His magnificent image of a father must not be shattered.
“Baby, your father is in Enclosed Cultivation. He’ll be out in a few days and able to see us by then. Why don’t you go to Cute Little Baby and the others to play with them first!” Yun Jiuge bowed her head to give her son a kiss.
“Okay, but I’m going to see Big Sister Qing’er first.” Little Dragon picked up a pink crystal on the table and said, “I’ll give this to her, and she’ll soon recover once she sees it.”
“Go ahead, she’ll be very glad to see you.” Yun Jiuge rubbed her son’s shaggy little head and instructed Wan Sha to send someone to escort him to Qing’er’s room.
After Little Dragon left, Yun Jiuge’s smiling face immediately became serious as she said to Wan Sha, “Where are the two assassins?”
“I’ve locked them up in the light cell.” Wan Sha brought Yun Jiuge to the Celestial Palace’s dungeon.
The dungeons of the Celestial Palace were divided into three parts — the dark cell, light cell, and water cell. Each of them was used to deal with different clans.
The two dark shadow monsters practiced dark demonic magic, so the light cell was absolute torture for them.
Five huge crystal mirrors were set in the light cell. The pure and holy white light refracted from the mirrors shone throughout every corner of the cell, ensuring that no dark shadows could exist.
Yun Jiuge walked into the light cell and saw two black orbs nailed in the corner, shivering in cold.
“These are the two things which broke into the Celestial Palace?” Yun Jiuge asked, looking at the two shadows which were so weak, as if they were about to disappear.
“Yes, it’s them. They’d wanted to kill themselves, but I nailed them with a Soul Lock Pin.” Had he not needed to leave them for Yun Jiuge to take a look when she returned, he would have beat them till they vanished in a puff of smoke.
“Who sent you here?” Yun Jiuge’s fingers moved slightly, and the two white light filled with holy energy fell upon them.
“Ouch, ouch!” Two mournful cries rang out from the black orbs, accompanied by a burning smell.
“You still refuse to reveal it?” Yun Jiuge cast a few more shafts of holy light to scorch the two black orbs to a burnt clump. Unfortunately, she did not get anything out of them other than their screams.
“Looks like they’re prohibited from revealing the truth,” said Wan Sha, shaking his head. He had already interrogated them once before and did not manage to extract anything.
“In that case, there’s no use keeping them.” Yun Jiuge opened her hands and ash-colored engulfing silk flew out to devour the two black orbs clean.
“Well, how did it go? Did you get any information?” Wan Sha asked.
“They used Demonic Blood Flower to break open the seal on the Energy Barrier to enter the Celestial Palace,” answered Yun Jiuge, whose face did not look too well.
Demonic Blood Flower was a very vicious creature from the Demon Realm which lived off gathering the world’s resentment in order to grow. After its birth, it consumed a lot of 1000-year-old Spiritual Beasts.
During that time, the high-leveled Spiritual Beasts of the Canglan Continent were anxious and ill at ease. In the end, she was the one who personally caught the evil demonic being. “Wasn’t the Demonic Blood Flower destroyed by you? How is it that someone else can use it now?” Wan Sha also had the intention to kill the Demonic Blood Flower at the time, but it had been destroyed by Yun Jiuge before he could find it.
“Maybe I missed a few of them!” Yun Jiuge lowered her eyes and put away the Moon Spirit Silk Thread.
“That’s not possible. I searched the Demon Realm a few times during that period, and I didn’t even find a flower bud,” said Wan Sha, shaking his head. Back then he returned to the demonic clan and organized a team to search again. He confirmed that there were no whereabouts of the Demonic Blood Flower.
“Let’s put this matter aside first. Send some men out to investigate carefully and see where they performed their spell. Then, patch up the Energy Barrier,” Yun Jiuge commanded. An Energy Barrier created by a Demonic Blood Flower was very long-lasting. If it was not patched in time, someone else could slip in the next time.
“I’ll send someone to do it now.” Wan Sha nodded and then turned around to leave the light cell.
Only Yun Jiuge was left in the light cell. Zi Shang snuck out of her pocket to peek his head out and whispered, “I remember you gave the Demonic Blood Flower to Fan Yin to destroy during that time.”
“That’s right. Because only his Violet Flame of Nine Suns can completely wipe out the Demonic Blood Flower,” said Yun Jiuge, who felt terrible. Anyone who discovered being betrayed by one’s own friends would not be in a good mood.
“It looks like we’ve good enough reason to go find him.” Zi Shang also wanted to know the exact reason why Fan Yin had betrayed his friends.
“Let’s find out about Long’er’s mysterious friend first and then talk.” Yun Jiuge let out a sigh. She did not want her son to be led astray by bad influence.
“Then I’ll go take a rest first, and we can meet his friend tonight.” Zi Shang popped his head back and closed his eyes to rest. He used all his strength to digest the Spiritual Flower Pearls and Floral Essence Spiritual Water that he swallowed earlier that day.
