Chapter 280: [279] Win-Win, Progress in Strength, the Palace Lord's Attention, Kuang Ning's Fate

At this moment.

Facing the questioning of the Palace Lord Xuan Shi, Kuang Ning dared not not answer: "Lord Xuan Shi, it is indeed Cheng Han!"

In the woman's icy voice, there was a sense of ethereality: "To let a newly promoted Xuan Shi comprehend the second-level Xuan Seal inheritance, this matter should not have happened!"

The word "should" had just been spoken.

Suddenly, illusory ice flowers flashed around the woman.

Each ice flower fell to the ground and instantly disappeared, then a new ice flower appeared immediately, repeating this cycle endlessly.

Kuang Ning suddenly felt an indescribable chill.

It was not the chill of his body.

But the coldness that originated from the depths of his soul.

This was the suppression effect of the second-level Xuan Seal.

In shock, Kuang Ning quickly begged for forgiveness: "Lord Xuan Shi, I... I have made a big mistake, please... please forgive me!"

As he spoke, a burst of cold air sprayed out, and he began to stutter.

This was the result of his body being influenced by his soul, causing such a phenomenon to occur.

The other Xuan Shi present had different expressions.

To be honest.

The Palace's deliberate troubles for the Xuan Shi of the Xuan Pavilion had happened too many times over the years, and it had even been regarded as a way to make a fortune by some Xuan Shi.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the Xuan Shi of the Xuan Pavilion admitted their mistake and gave some benefits, this matter would pass.

No one expected that Kuang Ning would actually encounter a big problem and fall into the hands of a newly promoted Xuan Shi.

More and more ice flowers appeared around the woman: "Instigating the servant to pass on false information, if it weren't for Cheng Han's extraordinary talent, I'm afraid it would have wasted a whole year with the Oak Spirit Demon."

"And the year after condensing the Soul Tempering Seal is the period when the spiritual power is most active and the Xuan Seal is most easily condensed. For the sake of personal gain, you attempted to destroy the future of a Xuan Shi!"

The woman snorted and gave her evaluation: "Such a heart deserves to be condemned!"

Kuang Ning's face turned extremely pale.

The woman suddenly sneered: "One year later, Cheng Han will start receiving an annual subsidy of three 'Source Xuan Crystals' from the Palace, and then you took the opportunity to ask for one or two Source Xuan Crystals, right?"

Kuang Ning's body trembled slightly.

He never expected that the Palace Lord would be so clear about these details.

The woman sighed: "Although the Palace is high and mighty, it is quite filthy inside!"

This statement was quite heavy, and the word "quite" obviously did not only refer to Kuang Ning.

The eyes of the group of Xuan Shi flickered.

The woman shook her head and made a decision: "From now on, remove Kuang Ning from his position as 'Steward' and wait for the Palace Lord's punishment!"

Kuang Ning's body shook, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

This guy knew better than anyone else that being removed from his position was only the lightest punishment, and what the Palace Lord would do next was the truly deadly thing.

The woman waved her sleeve: "Everyone, take care of yourselves!"

Oak Spirit Demon Forest.

Just as the green light that covered the entire Palace, which was the response of the Divine Banyan Tree, was about to dissipate.

Cheng Han won for the second time.

This was just a small-scale spiritual tide, and the wood spirit laws hidden within it happened to be relatively "shallow" laws.

Including the two Xuan Supervisors, no one in the entire Palace had the ability to comprehend anything from the spiritual tide.

But he could!

Cheng Han's mind moved.

Countless stars appeared in the sky.

A halo appeared.

In the center, a series of images quickly flashed.

For example:

A blurry figure waving his right hand with force.

A Divine Banyan Tree branch rapidly growing.

In an instant.

The branch extended tens of kilometers.

Such speed was comparable to a thunderbolt.

"Whoosh!"

Due to the speed being too fast, a strong wind erupted in the surrounding void.

For example:

The blurry figure stood on a section of the branch and shouted, "Trap!"

The next moment.

A large amount of green light burst out from the surface of the branch, instantly condensing into thousands of green threads, each of which was over ten thousand meters long.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The threads pierced through the void like lightning, enveloping a huge creature.

These were just two demonstration segments, showcasing the application of the abilities gained from analyzing the laws.

Cheng Han watched with astonishment and joy.

After a few breaths.

The halo dissipated into a cluster of light spots, and then quickly extinguished.

A message quickly appeared: "Spirit Misty Forest Xuan Seal, first level, completeness 53.67%."

Compared to before, the completeness had increased by 31.52%.

Thanks to this new Xuan Seal, his spiritual value was boosted by 8.6 points, and the upper limit of his spiritual value reached a new high of 221.8 points.

In addition.

The core structure of this Xuan Seal had grown several auxiliary structures, each representing a powerful skill.

However, Cheng Han felt a bit regretful: "Although it's just a shallow law, it is still too high-level for me!"

He muttered to himself again, "It seems that I have to find a way to start with the spirit wood in order to improve the Spirit Misty Forest Xuan Seal."

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The surrounding Oak Spirit creatures were all waving their branches and leaves in joy, creating a sound like waves, one after another.

In the vast spiritual tide just now, they all gained something to varying degrees.

This is not surprising.

After all, Oak Spirit creatures are plant life, naturally closer to the Divine Banyan Tree, so it is very normal for them to gain insights from it.

Just at this moment.

Cheng Han suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky.

He saw a black boat silently passing by, its bow pointing towards the Oak Spirit tree forest.

There is no doubt.

This is a Xuan Palace Xuan Shi coming to find them.

Cheng Han adjusted his black robe and quietly waited.

After about ten seconds.

The black boat stopped above the forest.

Cheng Han immediately sensed that two gazes were cast down from above the boat, locking onto him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The commotion caused by the Oak Spirit creatures suddenly escalated.

These extremely irritable creatures, as if provoked by the black boat, began to wildly wave their branches.

From above, one could see tens of thousands of branches swaying like tides, all pointing towards the black boat.

This gave the feeling that as long as the black boat dared to approach, these Oak Spirit creatures would do their utmost to tear it into pieces.

Cheng Han immediately shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

In his spiritual sea, the Illusory Forest Xuan Seal flickered.

A wave of fluctuation instantly swept through the forest.

The Oak Spirit creatures immediately quieted down.

With such a posture, it gave a sense of prohibition.

With a single command, thousands of Oak Spirit creatures stopped their hostile actions. Even a fool could see that this was not an ordinary means.

Cheng Han immediately sensed that the gaze from the black boat was filled with astonishment.

He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and bowed towards the sky, "I don't know which colleague it is, please come down for a meeting!"

Tianhuan, the first-ranked celestial ring.

Palace Guard Hall.

This place is the residence and office of the two Xuan Palace masters, the Xuan Supervisors.

The Palace Guard Hall is divided into two palace complexes.

One is called "Jinshan Palace," which is the territory of the main palace master, "Yun Changtian."

Another one is called "Luan Mountain Palace," which is managed by the deputy palace master "Xiang Qing."

At this moment.

Kuang Ning's immediate superior, the palace master Xuan Shi "Lan Jia Yao," is respectfully reporting the situation.

"...Palace Master, this is the situation. Regarding the handling of Kuang Ning, please make a decision!"

She then bowed and said, "I have been lax in managing my subordinates, which led to such an ugly incident. Please punish me, Palace Master."

Taking the initiative to bring up the matter, as opposed to passively waiting for the boss to hold them accountable, results in completely different impressions in the boss's mind.

Therefore, this palace master Xuan Shi took action as quickly as possible.

Palace Master Yun did not respond, but instead smiled and asked about another matter, "I heard that since Cheng Han came to the Xuan Palace, he often goes mountain climbing and playing in the water, rarely seriously comprehending the mysterious seals, is that true?"

Lan Jia Yao quickly replied, "Indeed!"

This female Xuan Shi had a strange expression on her face, "To be so careless and still be able to successfully comprehend the mysterious seals, I have been in the Xuan Palace for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing."

Lan Jia Yao knew that the palace master was interested in this aspect, so she quickly catered to it, "It is said that this person had such a habit when he served in the Tai'an Black Armor Army, he would eat and drink while comprehending several seals."

Palace Master Yun laughed, "This kid is interesting!"

This powerful Xuan Shi nodded slightly, "It's not surprising for a young genius to have some quirks."

Lan Jia Yao agreed, "Geniuses often behave differently!"

This powerful Xuan Shi laughed again, "It's been a long time since I heard about Tai'an. I didn't expect such a talented person to come out."

Lan Jia Yao seemed quite good at accommodating, "In the past four to five hundred years, there hasn't been a high-level Xuan Shi from Tai'an. This time, a true talent has emerged!"

She couldn't help but sigh, "To comprehend a first-level Wood Mysterious Seal from a second-level inherited Xuan Artifact in such a short time, there are indeed very few people in the entire Xuan Palace who can do that."

Although the green pillar of light just now was immense, this palace master Xuan Shi sensed it very clearly, and the intensity of the fluctuations was only at the level of a first-level Mysterious Seal, so she came to this conclusion.

Palace Master Yun corrected, "It's not the Wood Mysterious Seal, it's much more powerful than that."

Lan Jia Yao was immediately surprised, "To comprehend a more powerful Mysterious Seal from the Wood Mysterious Seal, how did Cheng Han do it?"

Palace Master Yun did not answer, but looked at the subordinate next to him, "Which place in Jia Hao Tian Huan has a good scenery? It's best to have flowers and trees."

The subordinate was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "Palace Master, Lan Pu Garden might be a good place."

Palace Master Yun nodded, "Have someone take Cheng Han to Lan Pu Garden."

"Yes!"

Lan Jia Yao's expression became subtle as she listened.

Is Palace Master Yun trying to cater to Cheng Han's preferences?

What kind of Mysterious Seal did Cheng Han comprehend that made the palace master attach such importance to him?

Lan Jia Yao restrained her curiosity and reminded, "Palace Master, how do you plan to punish Kuang Ning?"

Palace Master Yun said calmly, "After so many years of taking advantage, causing quite a bit of trouble, the war in the Youmiao Realm has begun, so send him over there."

He thought for a moment and said, "Serve for fifty years, no return without merit!"

Lan Jia Yao's eyes flickered.

She understood that cross-border wars were extremely dangerous, and Kuang Ning was serving as a criminal, so the probability of coming back alive could be ignored.

Palace Master Yun glanced at his female subordinate and said, "You have been lax in managing your subordinates, so you will be punished with three years' salary. Take the time to reorganize the 'Empty Xuan Hall'."

Lan Jia Yao lowered her head and said, "Yes!"
