Chapter 177

The use of the jade pendant was straightforward.

Luo Chuan probed his own spiritual thoughts and received the message that Ji Wuhui had sent.

"People from Silver Moon Palace?" Luo Chuan initially felt puzzled, then nodded in recognition.

The Soul Projection he had destroyed before seemed to belong to the Palace Lord of Silver Moon Palace.

"Ji Wuhui is asking me if I should disclose the information about Origin Mall to Chu Yangping?" Luo Chuan pondered, rubbing his chin.

If it were an ordinary cultivator targeted by Chu Yangping, Ji Wuhui could likely make the decision directly. Unfortunately, the central figure in this matter was Luo Chuan, a senior whose true strength was unknown.

"Is he delegating the decision-making power to me?" Luo Chuan found it somewhat amusing.

After some consideration, he made a decision.

Sending a message to the jade pendant, Luo Chuan replied: "It's up to you."

After all, within a ten-kilometer radius of Origin Mall, he was virtually invincible. Even if Yinyue Mansion sent more practitioners of the Dao Realm, it would be like offering themselves up.

Subsequently, Luo Chuan tossed the jade pendant back into the system space.

Its purpose had been served!

...

Observing the glowing light of the jade pendant, Ji Wuhui, who had been waiting, felt a twinge of excitement.

Quickly retrieving the jade pendant, he checked the incoming information.

However, Ji Wuhui's expression soon turned dumbfounded.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Old Bai inquired, puzzled.

"Take a look for yourself," Ji Wuhui handed the jade pendant to Mr. Bai.

Perplexed, Mr. Bai inspected the message contained within the jade pendant.

Upon reading the concise response of "as you wish," he was at a loss for words.

Mr. Bai shook his head in disbelief, saying, "Indeed, it bears the mark of the boss."

Ji Wuhui sighed.

The decision had been returned to him by the boss. Ultimately, he would have to make the call.

"Considering the timing, Chu Yangping and his entourage are likely to arrive imminently," Ji Wuhui said helplessly.

Old Bai nodded, "Indeed. Your Majesty, have you decided on a course of action? If it comes to a fight, I can guarantee that none of the Silver Moon Palace members will leave Jiuyao City alive!"

As he spoke, a warlike aura emanated involuntarily from Elder Bai.

As a ninth-level advanced practitioner of the Dao, and having regained the physical prowess of his youth, Mr. Bai was itching for some action.

"Of course, I have," Ji Wuhui replied. "I cannot ignore the threat posed by a mere Silver Moon Palace. However, engaging in battle would likely lead to the destruction of Jiuyao City."

Ji Wuhui couldn't bear such a heavy cost.

"Then let them know about Origin Mall," Old Bai suggested with a smile, a glint of amusement in his eyes. "I'm curious to see how they'll react when they meet the boss."

Ji Wuhui nodded and sighed, "So be it. I hope the boss won't take offense..."

At the gates of the imperial city...

The five members of Chu Yangping's group had already arrived.

"Halt, who goes there!"

The guards were on high alert.

"I am Palace Lord Chu Yangping of Silver Moon Palace. I seek an audience with the Heavenly Star Great Emperor," Chu Yangping declared, his voice impassive.

Simultaneously, the aura of the Inquiring Dao realm emanated from the five individuals.

Xia Xia Yu sensed their aura and couldn't help but sigh.

How long had it been since questioning practitioners had come to the imperial city?

Nowadays, even being a member of the Imperial Guard was no easy task!
