Chapter: 5708

Suddenly, Wu Feiyan shouted loudly, "Halt!"

Wu Tianlin's back felt a chill, and he hastily turned around, trembling and asked, "English... master... You... do you have any further instructions?"

Wu Feiyan asked him, "What about the three senior elders? How are they doing?"

Wu Tianlin seeing that Wu Feiyan was not pursuing himself, relaxed his breath while also hastening to bow down and said, "Returning to your majesty, the three senior elders are currently waiting in the secret meeting hall."

Wu Feiyan furrowed his brow and asked him, "When you were allowed to return, did you notice any changes in those three people?"

Wu Tianlin hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said, "Returning to your majesty, when you allowed me to return, those three senior elders looked rather displeased."

"Not pleased?" Wu Feiyan coldly laughed and said calmly, "Those three people are dissatisfied because I've disrupted their seclusion. Human nature is like this - if you give someone a bowl of food to eat, they won't be overly grateful; but if you take away half-eaten food from them, they'll remember it."

Wu Tianlin asked cautiously, "Your majesty, what do you think should be done?"

Wu Feiyan said calmly, "Of course, we should naturally give them rewards! We fought and won, so we deserve to be rewarded; even if we didn't win, we still deserve a reward for our efforts."

Having said that, Wu Feiyan added, "However, the time has not yet come. Let them harbor resentment in their hearts first, then let them realize it's too late to regret. Only when they've had enough time to regret will I consider rewarding them."

Wu Tianlin listened with a puzzled expression but could only flattering praise, saying, "Your majesty is wise and all-knowing; your humble servant is unworthy indeed!"

Wu Feiyan knew he was just flattering and slightly frowned at him. She then waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Alright, you go arrange a place for them to stay. Spend the next few days keeping an eye on them, and wait until I return before discussing further."

Wu Tianlin nodded without hesitation and said, "Your humble servant will obey your majesty's orders!"

After Wu Tianlin left, Wu Feiyan walked over to the world map projected onto the wall.

The high ceiling of the grand hall was more than six meters tall, with a six-meter-high by twelve-meter-wide world map projected onto the entire wall.

She gazed at the map of Myanmar, then at the land of Dian to its east, and finally at the distant Ten Thousand Mountains, her thoughts suddenly in disarray.

She thought about her teacher's brother and her teacher.

Thinking about her teacher's portrait that was taken away today, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Teacher, it seems you really look down on me and my teacher's brother. You left before we could accompany you everywhere, yet you never told us the secrets of immortality. And now, after your death for over 300 years, I only learned about them from others. Am I, Wu Feiyan, not worthy to be in your eyes?"

As she thought this, Wu Feiyan's thoughts suddenly flashed back to 1650.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, there was a rarely visited restricted area.

Here, within a radius of one hundred li, there were no residents. The reason was that this place had been plagued by a strange and ominous aura since hundreds of years ago. This aura surrounded this area, refusing to dissipate, causing anyone who entered it to experience headaches, loathing, and disorientation, eventually leading them to leave the area and never return.

The aura would also persist for months after entering, causing immense suffering and even death in some cases.

As a result, the surrounding mountain people had long regarded this place as an absolute taboo zone, fearing its influence.

However, these mountain people were unaware that the center of this aura was actually Meng Changsheng's secluded chamber for cultivation.

The aura itself was merely his array to separate himself from human disturbance. JrNovels.com
