Wu Ling said worriedly, "Lord Yun Che, what about your 'possessing another body' matter?"
Yun Che stretched lazily, "When the time comes, everything will fall into place. Besides, it can't be 'possessing another body.' If I haven't become an immortal or a cultivator, it's fine. After becoming an immortal, the other party must willingly offer their body to me. Otherwise, it's all a waste of effort."
Wu Ling Slowly opening her mouth, her voice carried a hint of unease: "But, Yun Che sir, if there is no suitable person willing to sacrifice, your situation..."
Yun Che took a deep breath, his gaze far away, as if staring into the unknown distance: "I know the difficulty of this matter, but I still have confidence. There will always be a solution in this world. Moreover, I am even more unwilling to ignore the crisis facing the capital because of my own predicament."
Wu Ling nodded, showing a determined expression on her face: "I believe in Yun Che, my lord. We will definitely find a solution. No matter what, I will accompany you and face all the difficulties together."
Yun Che smiled slightly, feeling grateful to Wu Ling: "Thank you, Wu Ling. With you by my side, I have infinite strength. We will face it together in the end."
Their conversation was gently carried away by the night breeze, as the scent of tea lingered in the night, making their hearts feel even more steadfast.
The next day, the morning sun shone on the market, but unlike usual, there were noticeably fewer people coming and going. Yun Che and Wu Ling sat in front of their small stall, feeling the unusual quietness around them.
"It seems that last night's incident has already appeased many Resentful spirits in various places," Yun Che said thoughtfully.
Wu Ling nodded, "Yes, Lord Yun Che. It seems that the capital city has returned to its former tranquility."
At that moment, a team of splendidly dressed guards hurriedly approached their booth.
The leading guard bowed and saluted, saying, "Honorable sirs, we have been ordered by the palace to invite you to visit. The palace has been unsettled recently, and we hope that you can assist in resolving the situation."
Yun Che and Wu Ling exchanged a glance, and Yun Che nodded, saying, "We understand, please lead the way."
The group quickly headed towards the direction of the palace. Along the way, the people on the streets pointed and whispered at them, filled with curiosity and awe.
After entering the palace, they were guided to a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall, a dignified emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, with several nervous palace maids and eunuchs standing beside him.
As Yun Che and Wu Ling entered the hall, a handsome young Crown Prince Jin Xiao stepped into their view, naturally becoming the center of attention with his outstanding demeanor and handsome appearance.
His gaze lingered on Wu Ling for a moment, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Yun Che sensed the prince's gaze and couldn't help but feel a bit wary. After regaining his composure, he became even more sensitive to this kind of subtle atmosphere.
Crown Prince Jin Xiao walked up to them and bowed, saying, "Two venerable masters, I have long heard of your great reputation. The recent situation in the palace is worrying, but with you here, it will surely be resolved soon."
Yun Che nodded and politely replied, "Crown Prince Jin Xiao is too kind. We will do our best."
Wu Ling bowed with the courtesy of a lady and smiled, saying, "Your Highness, we will do our best."
Jin Xiao looked at Wu Ling again and smiled slightly, "Miss Wu Ling, your beauty has long been praised in the palace, and today, seeing you in person, it is indeed well-deserved."
Yun Che flashed a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but still maintained his politeness as he turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, did you summon us to the palace because of the anomalies occurring here?"
The emperor solemnly replied, "Two Taoist priests, some strange occurrences have been taking place in the palace recently, including the disappearance of palace maids during sleepwalking, mysterious sounds, and the appearance of unidentified objects, which has caused great anxiety among the palace residents. We need your help."
Yun Che respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, we will do our best to assist. May I ask if these incidents share any common characteristics or occur according to a pattern?"
The Emperor pondered and said, "These phenomena mostly occur late at night, and it seems that they all revolve around the palace's rear garden."
Yun Che and Wu Ling exchanged a glance, indicating understanding.
"We will thoroughly investigate this matter," Wu Ling said firmly.
Yun Che and Wu Ling were allowed to enter the backyard for investigation. In the garden, among the peculiar flowers, plants, and trees, it seemed that there were hidden secrets.
They carefully observed every corner, searching for possible clues. Suddenly, Yun Che's eyes fixed on what seemed to be an ordinary pavilion. Near the pavilion, he sensed a subtle fluctuation.
"Here..." Yun Che murmured, walking towards the pavilion.
They carefully inspected under the pavilion and found a hidden door beneath the floor. Yun Che used his power to open the hidden door, revealing a concealed passage leading downwards.
"The structure here is unusual, there must be something fishy," Wu Ling said as Yun Che carefully walked down the stone steps.
The passage was dim and damp, with walls covered in vines and moss. They walked along the winding passage for a long time, and finally arrived at a secret chamber.
In this secret room, strange symbols and unsettling totems are arranged, and the air is filled with an eerie atmosphere.
"It seems to be some kind of ritual site here," Yun Che observed the layout around him, his expression turning serious.
Wu Ling She softly chanted a spell, and a faint spiritual light emanated from her hand, illuminating a corner of the secret chamber. There sat a black altar, adorned with peculiar ritual tools and withered offerings.
Yun Che approached the altar and lightly touched the runic symbols on its surface, his brow furrowed. "These symbols and rituals seem to have some connection to the black crystal ball we encountered in the temple before."
"Does this mean that there is really a greater force behind these events manipulating everything?" Wu Ling asked in confusion.
Yun Che pondered, his gaze serious: "We need to investigate further and uncover the truth behind this."
---
Yun Che's brows furrowed as he stood in the dark secret chamber, facing the mysterious stone altar. His eyes flashed with a calm light, while Wu Ling cast his gaze around, alert for any unusual movements.
"The atmosphere here is even more ancient than we imagined," Wu Ling said softly, her fingers lightly touching the runes on the wall, as if sensing the hidden power within.
Yun Che gazed at the runes on the altar and sighed, "The secrets hidden here may be related to the recent anomalies in the capital. We must proceed with caution."
They carefully sealed the secret chamber to ensure that no one could easily discover its secrets, then quickly set off for the palace.
In the resplendent palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, his expression serious and profound. Beside him was Crown Prince Jin Xiao.
Yun Che and Wu Ling knelt before him and reported their findings in detail.
Yun Che briefly described their findings in the basement, while also withholding some key details. He felt that the prince's inquiries concealed a probing intent.
"Your Majesty, we have discovered some unusual runes and altars in the secret chamber of the temple, which seem to be intricately linked to the recent strange occurrences," said Yun Che, his voice firm and clear.
The Emperor furrowed his brow, deep in thought. "Your discovery is very important. This unknown force may pose a significant threat to the safety of our great dynasty."
Wu Ling Slightly raising her head, her eyes were determined: "Your Majesty, we are willing to investigate this matter thoroughly and eliminate any hidden dangers for the great dynasty."
The Emperor nodded with a tone of determination mixed with trust: "I will send out the most elite guards from the palace to assist you. We must uncover all hidden dangers as soon as possible."
Yun Che and Wu Ling left the palace and set out on the journey back. Yun Che furrowed his brows and said thoughtfully to Wu Ling: "This matter is far more complicated than we anticipated. The heavy Yin energy on the Crown Prince's body makes me extremely uneasy."
Wu Ling nodded slightly in response and asked in confusion: "Isn't the Crown Prince supposed to have a Pure Yang Body? How could he have such Yin energy?"
Yun Che said with a serious tone, "I also feel that it's unusual. I deliberately brought the Seven Aperture Divine Bead to test, and the result showed that the bead was filled with black mist, without a trace of Pure Yang energy."
Wu Ling's expression immediately turned worried, "Is this true? Such Yin energy, I'm afraid there's only one explanation."
Yun Che took out the Seven Aperture Divine Bead and showed it to Wu Ling. The black mist-covered bead seemed to confirm their speculation: "Exactly, this means that the Crown Prince from earlier is already a dead man."
Wu Ling's eyes showed a look of astonishment as he said in surprise, "This means that Crown Prince Jin Xiao may have already been murdered..."
Yun Che's expression became serious, and he slowly said, "This is a possibility, but I suspect that Crown Prince Jin Xiao's identity has been controlled by some unknown force. Perhaps this is why he is so concerned about our investigation."
Wu Ling frowned and said with concern, "If this news were to leak, it could cause a great disturbance."
Yun Che answered firmly, "So we must proceed with caution, first we need to find out what force is controlling the Crown Prince's body as a puppet."
Watching Yun Che discuss so seriously about how to solve the problem, Wu Ling finally couldn't help but interrupt, "Lord Yun Che, since Crown Prince Jin Xiao is already dead, should we leave as soon as possible to find another Pure Yang Body?"
Yun Che insisted, " Wu Ling, no, we cannot ignore the demons here. Since we have discovered this situation, we have a responsibility to resolve it."
Wu Ling expressed concern, "But Lord Yun Che, you cannot waste time here. Your health is the most important thing right now."
Yun Che replied, " Wu Ling, I know you're worried about me. How about we stay for another six months to observe the situation? If we really can't resolve it, then we can leave, okay?"
After some thought, Wu Ling ultimately agreed, "Since Lord Yun Che has said so, we will stay for a while longer."
