Chapter 1021 Invisible Binding
"Your Majesty, our chance has come. These two should be able to lead us back to the Immortal Realm."

The man called King had blue curly hair that cascaded casually over his shoulders. He wore a matching blue robe that complemented the Queen's long, flowing blue gown. After hearing the Queen's words, he shifted his posture and asked in a deep voice:

"Are you sure you've fooled them?"

The Queen smiled charmingly and said:

"Of course, I told them that all they need to do to leave here is take our offspring. I also hinted that there are treasures in the Shatuo Kingdom that cultivators are very interested in. Once we arouse their greed, we will definitely be able to leave here."

Wang said with a deep look in his eyes:
"What if they don't take the bait? They've already tested the palace maids and guards. Do you have a backup plan?"

The Queen smiled and said:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. If they do not accept the conditions I have proposed, then please take action and leave them here. Once Your Majesty has devoured that orchid, you will be able to break through to the eighth rank. At that time, Your Majesty will also have the strength to break the seal. In any case, we will not suffer any losses."

The king's expression softened somewhat, but he still reminded him:

"Now that we have a solution, let's act quickly. Most of the sandworms are now dormant, which is the best time for us to leave this place."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Meanwhile, the Shui family learned that Shui Yuntan and the guide had been left in the palace, and that the palace guards had brought them many rewards as a reward for hunting sandworms. They also explained that the two had won the Queen's favor and would be staying in the palace for a while, so the Shui family didn't need to worry.

Shui Yufeng was very satisfied with the result, as it made them famous in Shatuo City and he believed that their future development would be even better. He took it upon himself to distribute part of the rewards to the tribesmen who were injured or killed while hunting sandworms, both to appease and encourage them, hoping that the tribesmen would continue to work hard.

Yunxi and Menglanjun were summoned by the King of Shatuo on the second day after entering the palace.

However, the King of Shatuo whom Yunxi met was an old man with a full head of white hair. His eyes had become cloudy, and after carefully examining Yunxi and Menglanjun for a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Bai Yin told me that you are cultivators from another world and that you can take my offspring away from the Shatuo Kingdom."

Yunxi stepped forward and said with a smile:

“Your Majesty, the Queen has reached a deal with me. You tell me the correct way to leave here, and we will take your children away from the Shatuo Kingdom safely. It is a fair trade.”

The old king, his hands covered in age spots, stroked the armrest of the throne and said softly:
“Some cultivators promised to take my offspring away, but they broke their promise and even tried to seize the treasures of the Shatuo Kingdom. In the end, they were trapped and died here. I don’t want you to follow in their footsteps.”

This is a disguised warning.

Yunxi smiled knowingly and said:

"Please rest assured, we are cultivators, and we must never be greedy. We are already very satisfied that we can leave here safely."

"That's best."

After the old king finished speaking, he looked at the beautiful queen beside him:
"Bai Yin, go and make arrangements so that our two youngest children can leave this place that has trapped me all my life."

"Yes, King."

The Queen respectfully agreed, thus concluding the meeting.

When the two returned to their temporary lodgings, a guard reported that Shui Yuntan's lover had sent over some of her usual belongings and wished to see her. Yunxi said calmly:
"Just leave the things here. This is the palace, and it's not appropriate for him to enter. I won't make things difficult for you. Please tell him that I will be back soon and that he doesn't need to worry."

The guards obeyed the order and soon presented a food box and a wooden box.

"Good work."

Yunxi took the two items, then turned and went to her bedroom, putting them into her storage bracelet. She didn't intend to eat or use them, nor would she take them back to the Immortal Realm.

For the next three days, Yunxi and Menglan stayed quietly in their temporary residence, avoiding contact with anyone except their maids and guards. Both of them secretly tried to recover their strength, but with little success.

Yunxi clenched her fist and tried to communicate with the space, but the space did not respond. She could clearly sense the space, but her divine sense could not enter it.

Meng Lanjun remained within a five-meter radius of Yunxi, attempting to counter the illusion created by the Blue Hat Illusion Fungus and help Yunxi regain control of her immortal energy, but to no avail.

Yunxi frowned and began to plan for the future:
"It seems that Blue Hat Phantom Fungus has absolute control over the Shatuo Kingdom, which is not good for us. If things don't work out, we should prepare to escape into the desert and see if we can use the sand worms to fight our way back."

Meng Lanjun felt an even stronger sense of crisis; his handsome eyes turned to Yun Xi.
"If it really comes to that, I will be their first target. Devouring me will allow the Blue Hat Phantom Fungus to break through."

Yunxi paused in her caress of the storage bracelet, her eyes shining as she looked at Menglanjun:

"Lan Jun, your opportunity for a breakthrough has truly arrived."

Meng Lanjun turned her head to look at Yun Xi, not understanding the meaning behind her words for a moment.

Yunxi smiled meaningfully and said:
"If he can devour you, then you can devour him in return. If you refine the Blue Hat Illusion Fungus, then you will definitely be able to break through to the eighth rank."

Meng Lanjun thought about it carefully and felt that the deduction was reasonable. However, he was not clear about the strength of Blue Hat Phantom and was not entirely confident.

"Ranxi, we haven't seen the Blue Hat Phantom's true form yet, so we can't judge its strength. If I fail, I'll become part of it, and then you'll be even more unable to escape."

Yunxi knew that Menglanjun was not exaggerating, so she said seriously:
"I can only take this gamble. If you fail, I will do my best to escape to the desert with your original body, and then we will deal with you slowly."

"I can't believe my luck is this bad. You forgot, Bai Tong said I would get what I wanted."

Yunxi's words were meant to encourage herself and reassure Menglanjun, showing that she would not abandon him.

After a brief exchange, the two continued trying to break through that invisible constraint, having already prepared for the worst.

On the fourth day, the Queen brought two people to see Yunxi and Menglanjun, and introduced them as follows:
"These are the king's youngest son and daughter. They are willing to risk leaving the Shatuo Kingdom with you. We hope you can guarantee their safe arrival in your world."

Looking at the two young faces in front of her, Yunxi readily nodded in agreement:
"Your Majesty, cultivators are very trustworthy and would not do anything against their principles."

"Alright, then follow me."

After speaking, she personally led them to the forbidden area of ​​the palace. After crossing a black gate, the Seven Star Deadly Staff in Yunxi's storage bracelet began to tremble slightly, seemingly very excited.

Yunxi did not take out the Seven Star Deadly Staff, but continued to follow the Queen into the depths. Menglanjun, who was beside her, frowned because the force binding him was increasing.

 My darlings, Fengling will be out running errands tomorrow, so the update will be a little late. Just letting you all know in advance. Thank you for your support, goodnight~
