After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 364 Trap
Black Moon Old Man was also sizing up the woman. He was in a very good mood and felt no pressure at all. After all, even the Thousand Fragrance Softening Powder couldn't do anything to him, so the other party couldn't kill him either.

"I advise you to go back to where you came from and not to make any more rash moves. Those two are the people the young hero wants."

The Black Moon Elder stroked his beard and slowly spoke, then pointed to the white-haired woman and the white-haired Taoist nun, saying:

"If anything goes wrong with them, I will report this to you when you return, young hero. With your strength, you can destroy your Yaoyue Palace in a snap of your fingers in a fit of rage."

Black Moon Old Man's words were clearly a blatant threat to the woman, intended to make her back down.

Although he said he wasn't afraid of the other party, he couldn't beat them either, so scaring them away would naturally be the best outcome.

Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in the eyes of Yazuki, the second palace master of Yaoyue Palace.

She glanced back at the woman in white, then her gaze fell on the white-haired Taoist nun, and she asked the same question as Li Musheng:

"Which of you two is Daoist Qingyu?"

The white-haired Taoist nun's expression changed, her face filled with vigilance.

But she didn't reply at this moment, unlike when she answered Li Musheng before, when she directly stated that she was Daoist Qingyu.

"So it seems you are all fake after all."

The Second Palace Master, Yazuki, showed no emotion on her beautiful face. Suddenly, she made a move, striking the Black Moon Elder with one palm and the woman in white with the other.

Upon seeing this, the Black Moon Elder was immediately enraged. He moved swiftly, directly withstanding the palm strike from the Arrow Moon, and then tried to save the woman in white.

Unfortunately, he was too late. Yazuki's palm strike pierced the white-clad woman's heart, shattered her lungs, and sent her flying backward, dying instantly.

Yazuki was clearly taken aback when he saw this:
"They didn't resist? Could they not be that dog emperor's men?"

At that moment, the white-haired Taoist nun suddenly retreated, intending to escape immediately.

But Ya Yue of the Inviting Moon Palace clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook, and turned her head to say:
"I didn't administer the Thousand Fragrance Muscle-Softening Powder to you so I could ask you questions. Did you think you could escape?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the white-haired Taoist nun, who was retreating rapidly, suddenly felt her legs go weak. She was about to leap over the palace wall when she instead fell headfirst to the ground.

At this moment, the Black Moon Elder's face darkened, and he attacked again, simultaneously blocking Ya Yue and shouting in a deep voice:
"I'm telling you this now: if you continue to be so stubborn, the Moon Invitation Palace will surely be destroyed!"

However, Yazuki glanced at the Black Moon Elder, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said:

"They're not the real Qingyu Daoist, the young hero you mentioned won't care."

"On the contrary, if you, old man, bother me again, even if you have thick skin and thick flesh, I will still hang you up and beat you!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Yue struck again, sending the Black Moon Elder flying.

Then, she moved swiftly to the white-haired Taoist nun's side, raised her hand and grabbed the nun's neck from a distance, lifting her into the air, and said:

"I'm not here to save that Daoist Qingyu, nor do I care about your authenticity or whether you live or die. Now, I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it. Otherwise, I have hundreds of ways to make you wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired Taoist nun was filled with terror, but she was powerless to resist and could only nod with difficulty.

At this moment, the Black Moon Elder, who had been knocked away, turned around and sped back. He glanced at the white-haired Taoist nun.

In his heart, he thought that the young hero was still searching for the Taoist Qingyu. After he had gone through many hardships to find this person, the young hero did not seem to give him a kind look.

Clearly, Ya Yue's words were true. If the white-haired Daoist nun was a fake Qingyu Daoist, then the other party was very likely a trap deliberately set by the Great Xuan Imperial Palace. Thinking of this, Hei Yue Yin Sou stopped attacking Ya Yue and stood aside, wanting to see what this woman, who appeared to be one of the two palace masters of Yaoyue Palace, truly intended to do.

After a series of questions between Yazuki and the white-haired Taoist nun, the expression on Heiyue Yinsou's face grew increasingly grim.

According to the white-haired Taoist nun, both the ninth floor above ground and the ninth floor underground of Xuanji Palace are just illusions.

Neither place contained the real Master Qingyu; instead, they were traps set by the Great Xuan Imperial Palace for those who attempted to save people.

Clearly, the Great Xuan Imperial Palace had anticipated that someone would come to rescue Daoist Qingyu, so they left behind a white-haired woman and a white-haired Daoist nun to confuse the situation.

Where is the real Master Qingyu? The white-haired nun naturally didn't know either.

However, through Ya Yue's interrogation, the white-haired Taoist nun revealed a situation that even the Black Moon Elder found chilling.

"Go and lift up her skull, see if there's something inside?"

The white-haired Taoist nun turned her head to look at the dead woman in white, a strange look appearing deep in her eyes, and said:

“The Great Xuan Imperial Palace has planted something called ‘the roundworm’ in her brain. Through this worm, the Great Xuan Imperial Palace can hear everything she hears and experiences.”

Upon hearing this, both the Second Palace Master, Yazuki, and the Black Moon Elder's expressions changed.

Following the instructions of the white-haired Taoist nun, Yazuki lifted the white-clad woman's veil and discovered that there was indeed a long, five-colored worm inside that was still alive but not stiff.

"Does this mean that the Great Xuan Imperial Palace actually knows everything we've done through this woman?"

Black Moon Old Man frowned, his face extremely ugly, and stared at the limp, powerless white-haired Taoist nun in Ya Yue's hand as he asked.

The white-haired Taoist nun glanced at the Black Moon Elder and Ya Yue with a mocking look, and slowly nodded:

“That’s right, the Great Xuan Imperial Palace has always known about what you’ve done.”

Upon hearing this, the expression on the old man's face changed rapidly.

If what the white-haired Taoist nun said is true, then it includes Li Musheng's forced entry into Xuanji Palace, the abduction of concubines by a group of martial arts masters, the appearance of the Crown Prince of Da Xuan, their breaking of the mechanisms of the Diqiong Xuan Palace, and the fact that both sides reached a cooperation agreement against the Emperor of Da Xuan...

All of this may have been overheard by the Great Xuan Emperor, while these people were kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

"Oh no! Young hero, you may be in danger!"

Black Moon Old Man realized what was happening and suddenly turned to look at the house with the trap. At this time, Li Musheng and Zhao Muning and the others had been gone for some time.

Black Moon Old Man immediately moved and entered the room, mimicking what Crown Prince Zhao Kuang had done before, attempting to open the mechanism again by striking the wall with his palm.

However, this time the mechanisms in the room remained completely still, there was no movement on the ground, and the previous tunnel entrance did not appear.

"what happened?"

Black Moon Old Man's expression changed, and at this moment, Second Palace Master Ya Yue, who had followed closely behind carrying the white-haired Daoist nun, narrowed her eyes slightly and said:

"As expected, experience counts. This mechanism has clearly been sealed off from the inside; you can't get in."
